Strong commercial performance

For the first quarter of 2024, Galderma achieved record net sales of 1.071 billion USD, surpassing the 1 billion USD mark for the first three months in a year for the first time. Year-on-year net sales growth on a constant currency basis for the period was 12.4%, primarily driven by volume.

Net Sales growth was widespread across product categories and geographies. All product categories grew, with notable strong performance in Injectable Aesthetics supported by a low 2023 comparable base. Across International markets, there was continued double-digit growth momentum fueled by strong performance in major markets. For the U.S., growth accelerated year-on-year and was primarily driven by volume and a favorable product mix.

Injectable Aesthetics

Injectable Aesthetics net sales for the first quarter of 2024 were 511 million USD, with year-on-year growth of 19.3% on a constant currency basis.

Both Injectable Aesthetics sub-categories grew double-digit. For the first three months of 2024, Neuromodulators net sales were 263 million USD, with year-on-year growth of 20.4% on a constant currency basis, and Fillers and Biostimulators net sales were 248 million USD, with year-on-year growth of 18.2% on a constant currency basis.

Injectable Aesthetics growth overall was mainly driven by volume, with continued growth momentum across geographies. Year-on-year growth for the first three months of 2024 was supported by a low 2023 comparable base, predominantly for the Fillers & Biostimulators sub-category.

Dermatological Skincare

Dermatological Skincare net sales for the first quarter of 2024 were 351 million USD, with year-on-year growth of 8.4% on a constant currency basis.

The growth overall was mainly driven by volume and favorable product mix. Cetaphil in International markets and Alastin both grew double-digits more than offsetting market softness in the U.S. skincare market and lower U.S. consumption of Cetaphil.

Therapeutic Dermatology

Therapeutic Dermatology net sales for the first quarter of 2024 were 209 million USD, with year-on-year growth of 4.1% on a constant currency basis.

The growth was mainly driven by volume in International markets offsetting anticipated lower US volumes, partially driven by phasing impact, as well as ongoing genericization.

With a strong start to the year, Galderma confirms its full year guidance for 2024, of 7-10% net sales year-on-year growth at constant currency and a Core EBITDA margin in line with 2023 at constant currency.

Galderma’s proven Integrated Dermatology Strategy

The strong momentum is based on continued execution in the first quarter of the year of Galderma’s three strategic pillars, expanding the broadest portfolio in dermatology with leading science and innovation, strengthening commercial execution, and offering market-leading education and services.

Regarding its leading dermatology portfolio, Galderma continued to drive growth through portfolio and geographic expansion. Recent new launches were a strong source of growth, such as Cetaphil’s new ranges including Healthy Renew anti-aging skincare, Sculptra’s launch in Thailand, as well as new product introductions and international expansion for both Alastin and acne brands. Galderma also maintained efforts to strengthen its scientific differentiation as well as advance its innovation pipeline across product categories. This included launching Restylane SHAYPE™ in Canada, a filler with ‘bone-mimicking’ properties using NASHA HD™ technology for temporary augmentation of the chin region, and nemolizumab’s regulatory submission update announcing FDA priority review for prurigo nodularis and regulatory filing acceptance in the U.S. and the EU for both prurigo nodularis and atopic dermatitis.

As for commercial execution, Galderma maintained its strong focus across product categories. A key highlight includes Cetaphil activation, including reaching over 5 billion impressions globally through its campaigns for two events in the first quarter of 2024, with #FaceOfCetaphil campaign for the New York Fashion Week and the U.S. #GameTimeGlow campaign for the Super Bowl, along with locally tailored promotional activities such as the one for Chinese New Year. In addition, 2024 marks the celebration of 25 years of Sculptra, with activation initiated in the first quarter enabled by new scientific data and insights.

Finally, Galderma’s commitment to market-leading education and services was showcased through its presence at major medical congresses, including at the Aesthetic & Anti-Aging Medical World Congress (AMWC), the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) annual meeting, and IMCAS World Congress. Engagement with healthcare professionals covered the full spectrum of Galderma’s portfolio, with a particular focus on showcasing its unparalleled aesthetics portfolio and yielding growing appreciation for nemolizumab. Galderma also launched ‘NEXT’, an innovative report that unveils the possible future of aesthetics, identifying six key trends with leading minds from the aesthetics community.

March 22, 2024, also marked an important milestone for Galderma, as its first trading day on the SIX Swiss Exchange, with 237,897,635 shares recorded in the commercial register following its Initial Public Offering (IPO). Galderma was internally already run as a public company prior to the listing, with robust governance, corporate platform, and regular external communications.

In particular, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) has been and will remain integral to the company’s strategy. To demonstrate this commitment, in 2024, Galderma engaged Sustainalytics to perform a broad-based pre-IPO Corporate ESG Assessment of Galderma, covering eight ESG categories, including Product Governance, Corporate Governance, Human Capital, Emissions, Effluents and Waste, and Business Ethics. Sustainalytics assessed Galderma as having an overall indicative Corporate ESG Assessment of 19.5, which places Galderma in the ‘low risk’ category as of February 23, 2024. The indicative score would place Galderma in the top fourth percentile of all companies in its subindustry assessed by Sustainalytics2.
