ALK Upgrades Full-Year Revenue and Earnings Outlook
ALK Upgrades Its Full-Year Revenue and Earnings Outlook
ALK (ALKB:DC / OMX: ALK B / AKBLF) has announced an upgrade to its full-year financial outlook. This decision reflects the company’s current performance and anticipated outcomes for the remainder of the financial year.
Revenue Growth Expectations
According to the latest projections, revenue is now expected to grow by 14-16% in local currencies, an increase from the previous estimate of 12-15%. This positive outlook is attributed to the strong sales performance of tablets and both injection- and drop-based allergy immunotherapy products (SCIT/SLIT-drops) throughout Europe.
Factors Influencing Sales Growth
The notable sales growth in 2024 is influenced by various extraordinary factors. A significant increase in the number of new patients starting treatment over the past year has played a crucial role. In addition to this, improved pricing structures and rebate adjustments have contributed positively to sales figures, along with competitive dynamics in key markets.
Earnings Outlook Upgrade
ALK’s upgrade in full-year earnings is primarily a result of the anticipated higher sales growth. It should be noted that the earnings outlook continues to factor in one-off costs of approximately DKK 60 million associated with previously communicated optimization efforts.
Upcoming Financial Reporting
The Q2 report, originally scheduled for publication, will now be released later today. The schedule for the previously announced presentation for investors and analysts remains unchanged, taking place as planned.
