Key highlights
Lundbeck's total revenue grew by +21% CER1 (+14% DKK) to DKK 7,125 million in the first quarter of 2026, with all
regions contributing double-digit growth. As planned, Lundbeck made progress sharpening its commercial model by establishing 27 partner markets2. Adjusting for the planned one-time DKK 470 million inventory build in these markets, total revenue grew by +13% CER
United States: DKK 3,482 million (+20% CER; +6% DKK)
Europe: DKK 1,799 million (+24% CER; +25% DKK)
International Operations: DKK 1,616 million (+13% CER; +6% DKK)
Adjusting for the inventory build in Europe and International Operations, revenue grew by +6% CER in Europe and declined by -1% CER in International Operations
The revenue of Lundbeck's strategic brands increased by +21% CER (+10% DKK), reaching DKK 5,305 million, representing 74% of total revenue
Rexulti®: DKK 1,612 million (+22% CER; +8% DKK)
Vyepti®: DKK 1,364 million (+47% CER; +31% DKK)
Brintellix®/Trintellix®: DKK 1,296 million (+8% CER; +3% DKK)
Abilify LAI franchise3: DKK 1,033 million (+8% CER; +2% DKK)
Adjusting for inventory build, CER growth rates were +20% for Rexulti®, +45% for Vyepti®, -3% for Brintellix®/Trintellix® and +2% for the Abilify LAI franchise
EBITDA increased to DKK 2,631 million, representing growth of +26% CER (+23% DKK), while adjusted EBITDA reached DKK 2,783 million, increasing by +31% CER (+28% DKK). EBITDA growth includes the one-time gross profit impact from the initial inventory build, supporting the transition to a new commercial model and future market operations. Excluding this, EBITDA increased to DKK 2,217 million, representing growth of +7% CER (+3% DKK), while adjusted EBITDA increased to DKK 2,369 million, representing growth of +13% CER (+9% DKK). This was mainly driven by strong performance from Vyepti® and Rexulti®, as well as disciplined capital reallocation and operating leverage, partially offset by higher cost of sales due to increased production-related costs and higher R&D costs driven by advancing key pipeline assets.
EPS reached DKK 1.67, increasing by +48% DKK and adjusted EPS reached DKK 2.16, increasing by +41% DKK, reflecting the strong EBIT performance and lower financial expenses, partially offset by higher income taxes.
Financial guidance 2026 raisedOn 12 May 2026, Lundbeck raised its full-year guidance. Revenue is now expected to grow by 7% to 9% CER (previously 5% to 8%), and adjusted EBITDA growth is now expected to be 8% to 14% CER (previously 4% to 12%), both excluding hedging effects. Further details are in section 2.7 Outlook.
Lundbeck President and CEO, Charl van Zyl said:"Lundbeck delivered a very strong performance in the first quarter, continuing our growth trajectory into 2026. Solid momentum in our strategic brands and continued progress in the execution of our strategy lead us to upgrade our full-year guidance. Across our pipeline, assets are advancing well, strengthening our long-term growth potential. Supported by disciplined capital allocation, our strong financial position provides flexibility to invest in future growth, progress our pipeline, and pursue external opportunities. This positions us well to deliver sustainable long-term growth as we move towards the "Scale" phase of our strategy."

Recent eventsOn 12 May 2026, Lundbeck communicated that the full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA outlook at CER have been raised.
On 19 April 2026, Lundbeck presented 6-month real-world INFUSE data at American Academy of Neurology (AAN), highlighting the broader burden of migraine beyond frequency. Patient-reported outcomes showed that cognitive symptoms, including brain fog - often under-studied - improved following eptinezumab treatment, underscoring the importance of addressing patient-relevant aspects of migraine burden.
On 16 March 2026, Lundbeck announced that new data from a phase Ib proof-of-mechanism trial of Lu AF28996, a novel compound invented by Lundbeck with dopamine D1/D2 receptor agonist activity, were presented at the 2026 Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease (AD/PD™) conference in Copenhagen, Denmark (17-21 March 2026).
On 10 March 2026, Lundbeck announced the appointment of Markus Kede as Senior Vice President, Chief AI Officer. He will join the Executive Leadership Team by 1 July 2026. The appointment marks an important step in Lundbeck's ambition to become a bionic company. As a key pillar of Lundbeck's Focused Innovator Strategy, AI plays a critical role in transforming how the company operates, innovates, and scales its impact for patients.
On 9 March 2026, Lundbeck announced that the last patient has been randomized in MASCOT (NCT06706622), a global phase
III clinical trial evaluating amlenetug in people with multiple system atrophy (MSA), a rapidly progressing and fatal neurodegenerative disease for which no approved treatments currently exist. Randomization was completed earlier than anticipated, underscoring the broad engagement across the global MSA community and Lundbeck's commitment to bringing innovation to patients with high unmet medical need.
On 12 February 2026, Lundbeck reported positive phase IIb PROCEED results, meeting its primary endpoint. The trial evaluated multiple IV doses of bocunebart for migraine prevention in patients with prior treatment failures. Bocunebart was well tolerated with no new safety signals, supporting earlier positive HOPE phase IIa findings.
Conference callTomorrow at 13.00 CET, Lundbeck will be hosting a conference call for the financial community. You can find dial-ins and a link for webcast online at https://www.lundbeck.com under the Investor section.
Strategy update - Focused Innovator
Lundbeck enters the third and final year of the "Focus" phase, having delivered strong performance across its strategic priorities and established solid foundations for the transition into the "Scale" phase of the strategy.
Delivering Scalable Growth Through Focused Commercial Execution
Lundbeck continues to deliver strong and scalable growth, with strategic brands growing by +21% CER in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period last year, reflecting sustained commercial momentum across key markets. Growth was led by Vyepti®, which delivered +47% CER growth, and Rexulti®, which grew +22% CER, primarily driven by continued strong demand in the U.S. Vyepti® also continued to see strong uptake in Europe, contributing meaningfully to overall brand growth and highlighting its expanding global footprint. Together, these brands remain the company's primary growth engines, supported by focused commercial execution and disciplined prioritization of high-value opportunities. Performance was further supported by the establishment of Partner Markets, which is progressing according to plan. The initial inventory build of DKK 470 million in the first quarter of 2026 resulted in a one-time revenue contribution, reflecting the foundation being laid for future commercial operations in these markets. Collectively, these drivers are enabling a more focused and scalable portfolio, reinforcing Lundbeck's trajectory toward sustainable profitability and supporting its 2027 mid-term ambitions within the Focused Innovator Strategy.
Advancing Innovation Through a Strengthened Pipeline and AI Integration
Building on this commercial momentum, Lundbeck continues to advance its innovation agenda through strong pipeline execution and the increasing integration of artificial intelligence across the value chain. In the quarter, key assets progressed across core disease areas. In migraine, Vyepti® advanced its lifecycle with completion of enrolment in the phase IV THRIVE study, while bocunebart (Lu AG09222, anti-PACAP) reported positive phase IIb data, supporting continued development to phase III. In neuro-rare, amlenetug reached a key milestone with completion of patient randomization in the phase III MASCOT study ahead of schedule, reinforcing its potential as a first disease-modifying treatment for multiple system atrophy, while recent clinical data support asedebart progressing through phase II for congenital adrenal hyperplasia and Cushing's disease with a phase III decision expected by the end of 2026 or early 2027. Bexicaserin remains on track in development and continues to build momentum globally, including Breakthrough Therapy Designation in China. In Parkinson's disease, Lu AF28996 delivered encouraging phase Ib data supporting its novel mechanism. Lundbeck has also progressed an orexin 2 receptor agonist program in phase Ib into patient studies. At the same time, Lundbeck is scaling the use of AI to enhance research, decision-making, and commercial execution, supported by the appointment of a Chief AI Officer and strong external partnerships. Together, these efforts reinforce Lundbeck's ambition to deliver transformative treatments and position the company for long-term innovation-led growth.
Financial Strength Enabling Strategic Business Development
Supporting both growth and innovation, Lundbeck maintains a strong focus on disciplined capital allocation to ensure longterm value creation and strategic flexibility. Solid cash generation from its core brands enables continued reinvestment into high-priority growth opportunities and pipeline advancement, while ongoing cost efficiency initiatives support optimal resource allocation. Business development and M&A remain key enablers of the Focused Innovator Strategy, with Lundbeck taking a proactive and focused approach to external opportunities across psychiatry, specialty neurology and rare diseases. The company prioritizes high-quality, strategically aligned assets that complement and balance its pipeline across development stages and offer attractive risk-reward profiles. At the same time, Lundbeck retains significant financial capacity and flexibility to execute larger transactions where there is a compelling strategic fit and clear value creation potential, supported by its strong balance sheet and long-term ownership structure. This balanced and disciplined approach strengthens Lundbeck's financial resilience and underpins its transition toward the "Scale" phase of the Focused Innovator Strategy.

BUSINESS PERFORMANCE
REVENUE BY PRODUCT
Revenue reached DKK 7,125 million, representing growth of +21% CER (+14% DKK). All regions contributed to the strong growth in strategic brands of +21% CER (+10% DKK), reaching DKK 5,305 million, equivalent to 74% of total revenue.

Strategic brands
The Focused Innovator Strategy amplifies Lundbeck's strategic brands representing the company's growth engine, driving revenue expansion, margin improvement, and sustainable long-term value creation.
Rexulti® (brexpiprazole) revenue reached DKK 1,612 million representing growth of +22% CER (+8% DKK). In the U.S., continued strong demand growth in both agitation associated with dementia due to Alzheimer's disease (AADAD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) drove the revenue growth. Total prescriptions (TRx) grew+18% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2026, achieving a market share of 2.75% during March. In AADAD, Rexulti® TRx demand grew 43.4% and the 65+ segment accounted for 35.8% of total U.S. Rexulti® prescriptions in February, reflecting continued growth within the brand. In Europe and International Operations, Rexulti® continued to grow in the first quarter of 2026. Excluding one-time revenue
from inventory build, growth in Europe was +25% CER and in International Operations +17% CER. Performance in Europe was supported by growth in Italy (+2% treatment days compared to the first quarter of 2025) and Spain (+64% treatment days compared to the first quarter of 2025) in particular. In International Operations, performance in Brazil remained resilient in the period and maintained market share prior to the expected generic entry on the back of loss of exclusivity in April 2026, growing +11% in treatment days, while market shares continued to expand in Canada reaching 6% (+0.6 percentage points compared to the first quarter of 2025). The revenue distribution by region was 90%, 3% and 7% in the U.S., Europe and International Operations, respectively. The largest markets are the U.S., Brazil, Canada, Mexico and Chile.
Vyepti® (eptinezumab) delivered strong growth in the first quarter of 2026, with revenue reaching DKK 1,364 million,an increase of +47% CER (+31% DKK). Vyepti® maintained its strong momentum across all regions. In the U.S., Vyepti® continued to grow in the first quarter of 2026, maintaining its position as the fastest-growing anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (aCGRP) in the market, reaching record-high 11.9% market share in February. The growth was driven by an increase in new patient starts, increased Vyepti Infusion Network enrolments, prescription-to-fill conversion and high rates of persistency with demand volume growing by +41.8% for March 2026 year-to-date versus prior year. In Europe and International Operations, Vyepti® maintained continued growth momentum into the first quarter of 2026 delivering +55% CER growth compared to the same period last year. Excluding the one-time revenue from inventory build, growth in Europe was +44% CER and in International Operations +45% CER. This was achieved through continued strong demand growth across key markets, with particularly strong momentum in France and Spain, where Vyepti® demand (treatment days) outpaced competitors, resulting in market shares of 68% (+6.5 percentage points compared to first quarter of 2025) in France and 12% (+1.8 percentage points compared to the first quarter of 2025) in Spain in February. The revenue distribution by region was 86%, 10% and 4% in the U.S., Europe and International Operations, respectively. The largest markets are the U.S., France, Canada, Spain and Germany.
Brintellix®/Trintellix® (vortioxetine) revenue reached DKK 1,296 million representing a growth of +8% CER (+3% DKK). The one-time revenue from inventory build in Partner Markets impacted the growth in the quarter. Excluding this effect, the growth was -3% CER (-8% DKK). Underlying growth in Europe continued with strong double-digit growth, driven by France and Spain. Performance remained pressured in International Operations, and, in particular, in Canada following generic entry in June 2025, and in China, where strong commercial execution only partially offset post-volume-based procurement (VBP) pressure. Selected markets showed stronger momentum, notably Japan reaching 13% market share (+1.0 percentage points compared to the first quarter of 2025) in January. In Europe, Brintellix® continued to be an important growth brand. The slightly softer momentum compared to previous quarters reflects a combination of post-Q4 normalization following relatively high prior-period sales, as well as lower promotional intensity in the early part of the year, specifically in Spain and Italy, both of which were timing effects. Across key markets in Europe, the brand grew+12% in treatment days compared to the first quarter of 2025. Excluding the one-time revenue from inventory
build, growth in Europe was +3% CER and in International Operations -8% CER. In the U.S., Trintellix® reflects the effect of the Takeda transition, effective 1 January 2025, and is showing steady performance in line with expectations for the transition. The revenue distribution by region was 23%, 46% and 31% in the U.S., Europe and International Operations, respectively. The largest markets for this product are the U.S., Spain, Italy, Mexico and France.
Abilify LAI franchise revenue reached DKK 1,033 million and grew +8% CER (+2% DKK). The franchise delivered solid growth in the first quarter of 2026. The Abilify LAI franchise in the U.S. grew +8% CER in the first quarter of 2026, supported by +8.8% growth in demand volume (rolling 3 months (R3M) February 2026 compared to prior year). Strong growth in TRx volume for Abilify Asimtufii® (+39.2% R3M February 2026 compared to the same period in 2025), and market share increased to 4.5% in February as Lundbeck continues to source patients from oral aripiprazole. Excluding the one-time revenue from inventory build, revenue in Europe declined -1% CER while revenue in International Operations grew +1% CER. The year-on-year development in Europe was materially distorted by prior-year gross-to-net comparator effects of government-mandated rebates and paybacks in Italy (AIFA) and the UK (VPAG). Adjusting for these effects, underlying franchise development in Europe, excluding revenue from inventory build, was +8% CER, in line with previous quarters. This was supported by continued uptake of Abilify Maintena® 960 mg and encouraging conversion from Abilify Maintena®, reaching 38% in Spain, 24% in France and 22% in Italy. Market research also indicates that 25%-45% of patients are being switched directly from oral atypical antipsychotics. Franchise growth continued despite loss of exclusivity (LoE) as generic competition has yet to enter the European markets. In International Operations, Canada and Australia experienced slightly accelerating growth despite LoE on the back of expanding franchise market share leading to 37% market share in Australia (+1.3 percentage points compared to the same period in 2025) and 39% market share in Canada (+2.0 percentage points compared to the same period in 2025) in February. Generally, the conversion to Abilify Maintena® 960 mg/Abilify Asimtufii® remains encouraging with sourcing from both other LAIs and oral aripiprazole. The revenue distribution by region was 34%, 50% and 16% in the U.S., Europe and International Operations, respectively. The largest markets are the U.S., Spain, Canada, Australia and Italy.
Mature brands
Lundbeck's mature brands comprise established neuroscience treatments that provide stable cash generation and a solid earnings base, supporting continued investment in innovation and future growth opportunities.
Cipralex®/Lexapro® (escitalopram) revenue reached DKK 752 million, an increase of +27% CER (+21% DKK). This performance was mainly related to the Partner Markets transition. The growth, excluding the one-time revenue from inventory build in Partner Markets, was +3% CER (-3%REVENUE BY GEOGRAPHICAL AREA
DKK). Regional revenue distribution was 67% and 33% in International Operations and Europe, respectively.
Revenue from Other pharmaceuticals, which comprises the remainder of Lundbeck's products, reached DKK 840 million, representing an increase of +7% CER (+1% DKK). Overall, growth was supported by strong contribution from China, especially for Lexapro® and Ebixa®, as promotional efforts continue to lead to resilience for the brands. This was partially offset by continued erosion across markets. The largest markets for Other pharmaceuticals are the U.S., China, France, Greece and South Korea.

Lundbeck's five largest markets are the U.S., China, Spain, Italy and Canada, constituting 64% of the total revenue.
United States revenue reached DKK 3,482 million representing growth of +20% CER (+6% DKK). The strategic brands reached DKK 3,274 million, increasing by+23% CER (+9% DKK) and representing 94% of the revenue in this market. Vyepti® was the primary growth contributor driven by a +41.8% increase in TRx (March 2026 year-to-date). Demand was underpinned by new patient starts, strong patient conversion, improved persistency and increased 300 mg utilization. The strong performance was reflected in the all-time-high market share of 11.9% during February, underpinning the exceptional performance as the fastest-growing aCGRP in the U.S. Rexulti® delivered strong growth of +20% CER (+6% DKK), supported by growth in both MDD and AADAD indications. TRx growth reached +18%, during the first quarter of 2026 with AADAD growing 43.4% (R3M February 2026 compared to the same period last year) and the 65+ segment accounting for over 35.8% of total prescriptions. The Abilify LAI franchise growth in the first quarter of 2026 was supported by continued TRx growth, primarily from Abilify Asimtufii®, which grew +39.2% (R3M February 2026) compared to the same period last year. Trintellix® reflects the effect of the Takeda transition, effective 1 January 2025, where it is showing steady performance, continuing to confirm the expectations of the transition. Mature brands declined overall, with continued erosion for Northera® and Sabril®, partly offset by positive gross-to-net impact of Onfi® and Xenazine®.
Europe revenue reached DKK 1,799 million representing a growth of +24% CER (+25% DKK). The strategic brands reached DKK 1,298 million, increasing +21% CER (+21% DKK) and representing 72% of revenue in this market. Excluding the one-time revenue from inventory build, growth in Europe of +6% CER was aided by continued growth in Vyepti®, Rexulti® and Brintellix®, while reported development in the Abilify LAI franchise was affected by gross-to-net one-off effects last year. Vyepti® was the most significant growth driver (+44% excluding the one-time revenue from inventory build), with particularly strong momentum in France and Spain. Demand growth in both markets continued to outpace competitors, supporting further market share gains. Brintellix® grew +3% CER excluding the one-time revenue from inventory build, supported by continued growth across key European markets. Abilify LAI franchise development in Europe, excluding the one-time revenue from inventory build, was
-1% CER. However, this was materially distorted by prior-year gross-to-net comparator effects in Italy (AIFA) and the UK (VPAG). Adjusting for these effects, the underlying
franchise trend was +8% CER, in line with previous quarters, supported by continued uptake of Abilify Maintena® 960 mg, with conversion reaching 38% in Spain, 24% in France and 22% in Italy. Mature brands still contribute to total European revenue, and excluding the one-time revenue from inventory build, their performance was flat compared to last year at CER. The largest markets in Europe are Spain, Italy and France.
International Operations comprises all of Lundbeck's markets outside the U.S. and Europe. Revenue reached DKK 1,616 million, an increase of +13% CER (+6% DKK). The strategic brands reached DKK 733 million, increasing by+9% CER (+3% DKK), and representing 45% of revenue in this market. The growth in International Operations was mainly driven by the one-time revenue from inventory build. Excluding this effect, growth was -1% CER (-8% DKK), with underlying performance showing strong growth in Vyepti®, positive trends in Rexulti® and the Abilify LAI franchise, modest growth in mature brands, and negative in Brintellix®, mainly reflecting generic entry in Canada during last year. Vyepti® and Rexulti® grew, respectively,
+45% CER and +17% CER excluding the one-time revenue from inventory build. Rexulti® performance in Brazil remained resilient in the first quarter of 2026 as Lundbeck awaits generic entry following LoE in April 2026, while market share continued to expand in Canada to reach 6% (+0.6 percentage points compared to the same period in 2025) in February. The Abilify LAI franchise grew +1% CER excluding the one-time revenue from inventory build, supported mainly by Canada and Australia, where competitor supply challenges and delayed generic entry continued to support the franchise. Brintellix® declined
-8% CER excluding the one-time revenue from inventory build, mainly reflecting the impact of generic entry in Canada during 2025. This was partly offset by continued positive momentum in Japan, where Brintellix® growth was supported by strong antidepressant market growth, some inventory benefit, and continued market-share expansion. Mature brands declined by -2% CER excluding the one-time revenue from inventory build. Despite the decline, growth in China remained positive, where overall performance reflected brand execution, demand improvement, and some channel, pricing, and timing effects. This was particularly supportive for Lexapro® and Ebixa®, while Brintellix® in Mainland China remained affected by post-VBP pressure. The biggest markets are China, Canada, Australia, Brazil and Chile. China and Canada constitute approximately 34% of the regional revenue.
Effects from hedgingLundbeck hedges a significant part of the currency revenue risk for a period of 12-18 months. Hedging had a positive impact of DKK 100 million (DKK -71 million in the
first quarter of 2025) on revenue in the first quarter of 2026 contributing to mitigate foreign exchange risks in revenue.

Total operating expenses (OPEX) reached DKK 3,669 million, corresponding to an increase of +13% CER (+5% DKK). The OPEX ratio declined by 4.5 percentage points to 51.5%. The development primarily reflects a combination of revenue growth in the first quarter of 2026 and lower S&D costs, partially offset by higher R&D costs. Sales and distribution costs reached DKK 1,779 million, corresponding to an increase of +5% CER (-5% DKK). The S&D ratio decreased by 5.0 percentage points to 25.0%, primarily reflecting leverage from strong revenue growth and improved cost efficiency as well as the transition to a new commercial model. The S&D ratio development reflects the continued execution of the Focused Innovator Strategy alongside disciplined resource allocation and capital reallocation. The one-time revenue impact furthersupported the S&D ratio by around 1.7 percentage points. The resulting savings enabled continued investments in strategic brands, particularly Rexulti® and Vyepti® in the U.S., supporting sales force expansion and the global rollout of Vyepti®.
Administrative expenses reached DKK 355 million, corresponding to a slight increase of +3% CER (-1% DKK). The administrative expenses ratio decreased by 0.8 percentage points to 5.0%. The development reflects the execution of the Focused Innovator Strategy and the capital reallocation initiatives. Research and development costs reached DKK 1,383 million, with an R&D ratio of 19.4%, increasing by +15% CER (+10% DKK). The development is primarily driven byadvancing key pipeline programs, including bexicaserin and amlenetug (anti-α-synuclein).
Other operating expenses, net reached DKK 152 million, primarily reflecting a restructuring provision. EBIT reached DKK 2,155 million, increasing by +32% CER (+30% DKK) reflecting a combination of improved gross profit driven by strong sales growth, partly driven by the one-time revenue from inventory build in Partner Markets and lower S&D ratio. This performance was partially offset by higher R&D costs and higher other operating expenses. Total amortization and depreciation amounted to DKK 476 million (DKK 486 million in the first quarter of 2025). Amortization of product rights amounted to DKK 315 million, unchanged at CER (-6% DKK). Amortization of other intangible assets corresponded to DKK 42 million in the first quarter of 2026. Depreciation amounted to DKK 119 million, corresponding to an increase of +26% CER (+25% DKK). Adjusted EBITDA reached DKK 2,783 million, representing an increase of +31% CER (+28% DKK), driven by the strong performance of strategic brands and the gross profit impact from the one-time initial inventory build supporting the transition to a new commercial model, despite continued R&D investments and capital reallocation under the Focused Innovator Strategy. The adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 39.1% (34.9% in the first quarter of 2025), representing an increase of 4.2 percentage points. Excluding the one-time gross profit impact from the initial inventory build, adjusted EBITDA increased by +13% CER (+9% DKK), corresponding to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 35.6%.NET PROFIT AND ADJUSTED EPS

Net financials (income)/expenses amounted to an expense of DKK 29 million in the first quarter of 2026 compared to an expense of DKK 221 million in the same period last year. This was mainly driven by a positive currency impact due to favorable movements in USD and lower interest expenses, reflecting reduced average debt levels following continued deleveraging. In the first quarter of 2025, net financials were negatively impacted by adverse USD development.The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 was 22.0% (22.0% for the first quarter of 2025), in line with the full-year expectation.
Net profit reached DKK 1,658 million, corresponding to a growth of 48%. Adjusted net profit is the net profit excluding depreciation and amortization and other adjustments, net of taxes. Adjusted net profit reached DKK 2,148 million, increasing by +41%, reflecting the strong EBIT performance and lower financial expenses, partially offset by higher income taxes.

Cash flows from operating activities amounted to an inflow of DKK 599 million compared to an inflow of DKK 632 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was mainly driven by changes in working capital, reflecting higher receivables and increased inventories, partly offset by increased short-term debt primarily due to higher trade payables. In addition, higher tax payments also contributed to the decrease in cash flows from operating activities.Lundbeck's net cash flows from investing activities were an outflow of DKK 116 million compared to an outflow of DKK 111 million in the first quarter of 2025. The development in investing activities mainly reflects investments in property, plant and equipment.
Lundbeck's net cash flows from financing activities had an outflow of DKK 1,975 million compared to an outflow of DKK 2,480 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease primarily reflects lower loan repayments related to the Revolving Credit Facility. This was partly offset by higher dividends paid to shareholders in March 2026.
The net cash outflow reached DKK 1,492 million compared to an outflow of DKK 1,959 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Net debt decreased from DKK 12,644 million at the end of March 2025 to a net debt of DKK 9,129 million at the end of March 2026, primarily reflecting continued debt repayments since the acquisition of Longboard in 2024. The net debt/EBITDA ratio was 1.2x at the end of March 2026 compared to 2.3x at the end of March 2025. Interest-bearing debt was DKK 11,085 million at the end of March 2026 compared to DKK 15,341 million at the end of March 2025.On 31 March 2026, Lundbeck's total assets amounted to DKK 52,305 million (DKK 52,054 million at 31 December 2025) mainly driven by intangible assets.
On 31 March 2026, Lundbeck's total liabilities amounted to DKK 26,679 million (DKK 27,151 million at 31 December 2025). The decrease primarily reflects repayments of the Revolving Credit Facility, partially offset by higher trade payables.
On 31 March 2026, Lundbeck's equity amounted to DKK 25,626 million (DKK 24,903 million at 31 December 2025).
OUTLOOK
Financial guidance 2026
On 12 May 2026, Lundbeck announced an increase in its full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance at constant exchange rates (CER).
Based on the strong performance of Vyepti® and the expected delay of generic entry of Abilify Maintena® in key markets, as well as a stronger-than-expected start in newly established partner markets, revenue is now expected to grow by 7% to 9% at CER (previously 5% to 8%) compared to the prior year's revenue, excluding hedging effects.
Vyepti® and Rexulti® are expected to remain the primary growth drivers in 2026, supported by continued demand expansion, geographic penetration, and ongoing lifecycle initiatives. The Abilify LAI franchise is expected to continue benefiting from conversion to the two-month formulation throughout 2026. Revenue from Partner Markets has grown stronger than expected and contributes to the overall higher growth anticipated for 2026.
The updated guidance continues to include inventory build at partners, recognized as sales of DKK 470 million. This reflects the economics of Lundbeck's partner model for non-key markets and is not expected to recur.
Expectations for adjusted EBITDA growth have also been raised, primarily driven by the higher contribution from Vyepti® and the expected delay of generic entry of Abilify Maintena®. Lundbeck now expects adjusted EBITDA growth of 8% to 14% at CER (previously 4% to 12%) in
2026.
As a central component of the Focused Innovator Strategy, Lundbeck remains committed to investing in research and development, advancing both late-stage and early development pipeline programs. In 2026, Lundbeck anticipates an acceleration of R&D investments. R&D spending is expected to increase to a range of DKK 5.6 to
5.9 billion, up from the previously guided DKK 5.5 to 5.9 billion. This reflects continued progression of late-stage development programs, including bexicaserin and amlenetug, as well as sustained investment in early- and mid-stage pipeline assets. Following positive phase IIb results, bocunebart is expected to progress into phase III by the end of 2026.
Given current exchange rates against the Danish krone, growth in adjusted EBITDA reported in DKK is expected to
be approximately 9 percentage points lower than growth at CER.
Hedging effects are expected to result in a loss of DKK -10 to -50 million. Depreciation, amortization, and impairment are expected at DKK 1.7 to 1.9 billion. Net financials are now guided at approximately DKK 300 million (previously DKK 300 to 400 million), reflecting FX tailwinds and lower interest costs. The effective tax rate is expected from 20% to 24% (previously 20% to 23%), with the increase primarily reflecting the transfer of IP from the U.S. to Denmark.
This guidance assumes no significant changes in the global or regional macroeconomic and political environment that would impact Lundbeck's business, including major healthcare reforms, legislative changes, or legal outcomes. It also assumes stable currency exchange rates from current levels, particularly the U.S. dollar against the Danish krone, and reflects current estimates of gross-to-net developments in U.S. sales. The guidance excludes potential effects from new significant business development transactions, significant impairments of intangible assets, and any shifts in trade policy, such as pharmaceutical tariffs or further healthcare reforms.

Mid-term targets
Based on organic growth, the company expects revenue to show a mid-single digit compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the mid-term period (2023 to 2027). The company maintains its target for adjusted EBITDA margin of more than 30% at the end of the mid-term period in 2027, to account for the impact of the Longboard acquisition, progression of the pipeline and excluding any business development activities.
Lundbeck plans to ensure appropriate investments in R&D and prelaunch activities for bexicaserin and amlenetug following the successful closure of the acquisition of Longboard. In addition, several R&D projects are expected to mature and progress in the period. Moreover, in accordance with the Focused Innovator Strategy, Lundbeck has initiated the most significant capital reallocation program in its history to sustain the company's growth with increased focus on innovation.
The mid-term targets exclude potential effects from new significant business development transactions, significant impairments of intangible assets in 2026, if any, and any shifts in trade policy, such as pharmaceutical tariffs or
further healthcare reforms. As 2026 progresses, Lundbeck will provide an update on the mid-term targets.
Forward-looking statements
Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and inaccurate assumptions. This may cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. Various factors may affect future results, including interest rates and exchange rate fluctuations, delay or failure of development projects, production problems, unexpected contract breaches or terminations, governance-mandated or market-driven price decreases for products, introduction of competing products, Lundbeck's ability to successfully market both new and existing products, exposure to product liability and other lawsuits, changes in reimbursement rules and governmental laws, and unexpected growth in expenses.

Key developments in the quarterNeuro-specialty highlights
Vyepti - migraine prevention - THRIVE phase IV trial enrolmentThe interventional phase IV THRIVE trial evaluates the effectiveness and safety of eptinezumab in a real-world population of patients with migraine who have previously experienced insufficient response to one CGRP-targeting treatment. Enrolment in the THRIVE trial has been completed. The study is ongoing, with full results expected in Q4 2026.
Bocunebart (Lu AG09222) anti-PACAP - migraine prevention - phase IIbThe phase IIb asset Lu AG09222 represents a potential new therapeutic option for the treatment of migraine, which, unlike the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) migraine treatment drug class, is a monoclonal antibody targeting pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP). PACAP and its receptors are broadly expressed in the nervous systems and inflammatory cells. By interfering with the PACAP signaling, there is potential to affect multiple symptoms of headache disorders.
Lundbeck announced positive results on 12 February 2026, meeting its primary endpoint, in the multiple IV dosing part of PROCEED, an adaptive phase IIb dose-finding and route of administration trial of bocunebart (Lu
AG09222). The trial investigated bocunebart as a potential treatment for the prevention of migraine in a population that experienced 1-4 previous preventive treatment failures in the past 10 years (NCT06323928). Bocunebart was generally well tolerated, and no new safety signals were detected during the PROCEED trial.
The PROCEED trial assessed the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of bocunebart versus placebo when administered once monthly for three months. The PROCEED trial aimed to establish the optimal dose and route of administration, subcutaneous and IV, of bocunebart. In the IV part of PROCEED a total of 431 patients from 14 countries (Bulgaria, Czechia, Denmark, France, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Lithuania, Japan, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, and the United States) were randomized. The primary efficacy endpoint was defined as the difference between bocunebart and placebo in the mean change from baseline in the number of monthly migraine days over weeks 1 to 12.
The target population for this trial was defined as patients diagnosed with migraine as outlined in the International Classification of Headache Disorders Third Edition (ICHD-3) and with treatment failure of 1-4 different preventive migraine medications in the past 10 years.
Lu AF28996 - Parkinson's disease - phase IbLu AF28996 addresses the greatest unmet need in Parkinson's disease in the large underserved patient population with motor complications. Lu AF28996 offers sustained D1 and D2 receptor stimulation, achieved by back-and-forth conversion of metabolites serving as a reservoir, leading to activation of both the direct and indirect pathways.
The phase Ib open-label trial with Lu AF28996 in patients with motor fluctuations or complications has been completed and is currently in the reporting phase. Preliminary data were presented at the AD/PD congress in Copenhagen. The phase Ib open-label data showed an impactful effect on GOOD On-time, positioning Lu AF28996 as a first-in-class oral dopamine-like agonist in Parkinson's disease (PD) delivering prolonged well-controlled motor functioning without inducing troublesome dyskinesia.
Neuro-rare franchise highlights Amlenetug - multiple system atrophy Lu AF82422 - phase III
Lu AF82422 is a monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting the pathological form of the protein alpha-synuclein which is believed to play a pivotal role in the development and progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple system atrophy (MSA), Parkinson's disease (PD), and other synucleinopathies.
By targeting pathological alpha-synuclein with an antibody that inhibits aggregation and potentially clears pathological alpha-synuclein from the brain, the project aims to demonstrate a delay in disease progression and a therapeutic effect on disease burden and function.
Building on the phase II randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled exploratory proof-of-concept (PoC) trial AMULET testing Lu AF82422 in 61 MSA patients in the
U.S. and Japan, and showing convincing trends of slowing MSA, Lundbeck initiated the phase III clinical trial MASCOT in November 2024. The last patient in the MASCOT trial was randomized in March 2026.
Lundbeck obtained orphan drug designation for MSA from the EMA (April 2021), FDA (April 2024) and MHLW
(Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare) (February 2025) as well as SAKIGAKE pioneering drug designation from the Japanese health authorities (March 2023) and Fast Track designation from the FDA (February 2025).
Lundbeck aims to develop the first treatment to slow disease progression, addressing a critical unmet need for people living with MSA, with an expected market entry in 2029.
Orexin program - Daytime hypersomnolence - phase IbLundbeck has progressed a program of orexin 2 receptor agonists with two candidates now in early development, including one candidate initiating in patients. This program represents potential for best-in-class treatment within daytime hypersomnolence disorders, by targeting the underlying mechanisms of the sleep-wake cycle.
Psychiatry core
Vortioxetine - pediatric development program in major depressive disorder (MDD) in JapanGiven the large unmet medical need and the absence of medicines approved in Japan for the treatment of MDD in children, Lundbeck has decided to initiate a pediatric development program in collaboration with its alliance partner Takeda.
The phase III trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled 10-week study evaluating the efficacy and safety of flexible-dose vortioxetine (10-20 mg) in MDD in adolescents aged 12 to 17 years. More than 80% of the clinical sites have been activated and the first pediatric patient in Japan was randomized in January 2026.
In August 2024, based on the development program, Lundbeck and Takeda received a positive opinion from the Japanese Pharmaceutical Affairs Council Committee on Drug I of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, granting vortioxetine a two-year extension until 2029 of the re-examination period for the adult indication in MDD. This means that vortioxetine's loss of exclusivity in Japan will be extended by two years. This extension is unrelated to the phase III trial outcome.
SUSTAINABILITY UPDATE
Lundbeck's sustainability strategy aims to ensure that we mitigate our most significant sustainability risks and adverse impacts, while acting on the opportunities to make a positive impact on the environment, for patients, and the communities where we operate.
This sustainability update presents progress on key sustainability matters and metrics.

Climate ActionLundbeck is committed to protecting the environment and decarbonizing our operations and value chain. Lundbeck has net-zero targets to reduce its total carbon footprint across its own operations, supply chain and distribution.
In the first quarter of 2026, Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions decreased by 23% compared to the first quarter of 2025. Scope 1 GHG emissions decreased by 24% compared with the same period last year, primarily reflecting the increasing share of electric and hybrid vehicles in the company's car fleet, as well as changes to more renewable fuels, contributing to lower emissions. Emissions from production sites and affiliates remained broadly stable, with some variability driven by weather conditions and operational factors.
Scope 2 GHG emissions decreased by 14%, mainly due to reduced electricity consumption. Emissions in Europe remain structurally low, supported by the use of renewable electricity certificates and the continued decarbonization of electricity grids.
Part of the reduction is related to lower activity levels linked to the transition into the new commercial operating model with fewer global sales sites and accounted for approximately 4 percentage points of the overall decrease in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions. Excluding this effect, the underlying reduction was driven by structural decarbonization initiatives, with the activity-related impact not expected to be a recurring driver of decarbonization.
Lundbeck remains ahead of the 2029 target for Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions, driven by fleet converting to electric and hybrid vehicles and renewable fuels.
Other topicsIn 2022, traces of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) were found at Lundbeck's Lumsås production facility. The pollution stems from the use of fire-retardant foam until 2011, in compliance with national fire safety and environmental regulations at the time.
Since the pollution was detected, Lundbeck has been engaged in a close and recurring dialogue with the Danish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and local authorities regarding the mapping and remediation possibilities of the pollution. Lundbeck continues this close dialogue with the authorities and affected stakeholders and is conducting additional, voluntary testing to determine more precisely the extent of the pollution.
Lundbeck has received orders from the EPA requiring the installation of a pump and treat solution for subsoil water. The implementation work has been initiated, and the pump and treat solution became operational at the end of 2025.

Inclusion, Diversity and EquityLundbeck embraces the unique perspectives and experiences of each individual, enhancing our ability to address complex challenges and driving our commitment to improving brain health. Our ethos and culture foster an environment which fuels creativity, enhances decision-making, and drives innovation where every colleague is empowered to contribute, collaborate, and bring perspectives that reflect the communities we serve every day.
In the first quarter of 2026, the underrepresented gender balance in upper management increased to 39.7% female at Group level compared to 39.0% in the first quarter of 2025. The increase is primarily driven by normal organizational movement, including joiners and leavers,
rather than targeted structural interventions. Efforts that contribute toward gender equity continue through broader people processes, including workforce planning, talent reviews, succession planning and recruitment practices. Lundbeck remains committed to maintaining equal opportunity in all forms of employment while incorporating innovative ways to enhance effective leadership for all.
Moreover, Lundbeck recognizes the target required in accordance with the Danish Gender Balance Act for H. Lundbeck A/S to maintain even gender balance in upper management, closest to 40% but not exceeding 49%. In the first quarter of 2026, Lundbeck remains on track with this target, with the underrepresented gender accounting for 40.5% in upper management.

Health and SafetyThe health and safety of our workplace is considered foundational at Lundbeck, and we are committed to fostering a safety culture that minimizes work-related accidents. To support this, we closely monitor the frequency, number, and severity of incidents, enabling us to establish action plans and set ambitious safety objectives.
In the first quarter of 2026, the Lost Time Injury Rate (LTIR) increased from 0.8 to 1.8 compared to the first quarter of 2025, reflecting a higher number of accidents resulting in absence and variability in incident occurrence across sites.
In response, local initiatives have been strengthened at site level, including regular retraining in process confirmation with a continued focus on health and safety. The global prevention campaign Take Care, launched in 2025, continues to support improved safety performance as health and safety practices are reinforced across the organization.
GENERAL CORPORATE MATTERS
Pending legal proceedingsLundbeck is involved in several legal proceedings, including patent disputes and environmental matters, the most significant of which are described below. Some of these involve significant amounts and are subject to considerable uncertainty. Management continuously assesses the risks associated with the legal proceedings,
and their likely outcome. Management is of the opinion that, apart from items recognized in the financial statements, the outcome of these legal proceedings and disputes are not probable or cannot be reliably estimated in terms of amount or timing. Further, ongoing proceedings may develop over time, and new proceedings
may occur, in a way which could have a material impact on
the Group's financial position and/or cash flows.
In June 2013, Lundbeck received the European Commission's decision that agreements concluded with four generic competitors concerning citalopram violated competition law. The decision included fining Lundbeck EUR 93.8 million (approximately DKK 700 million). Lundbeck paid and expensed the fine in the third quarter of 2013. In March 2021, the European Court of Justice rejected Lundbeck's final appeal of the European Commission's decision. So-called "follow-on claims" for reimbursement of alleged losses resulting from violation of competition law often arise when decisions and fines issued by the European Commission are upheld by the European Court of Justice. The 'follow-on claims' described below are ongoing or threatened. Lundbeck disputes all claims and intends to defend itself against them in full.
At the end of the first quarter of 2023, the UK health authorities served their claim form on Lundbeck and several generic companies, and Lundbeck filed its defense in the third quarter of 2023. The hearing on whether the claim is time-barred was held in the second quarter of 2024, and the Competition Appeal Tribunal subsequently issued a decision in favor of the UK health authorities. Lundbeck was granted permission to appeal the decision to the Court of Appeal, and the Court of Appeal issued a decision in favor of the UK health authorities in the second quarter of 2025. In October 2025, the Supreme Court refused Lundbeck's application for permission to appeal the ruling on time-barring.
In late October 2021, Lundbeck received a writ of summons from a German healthcare company claiming compensation for an alleged loss of profit plus interest payments, allegedly resulting from Lundbeck's conclusion of agreements with two of the four generic competitors, which were covered by the EU Court of Justice ruling. Lundbeck filed its first defense in May 2022, and the parties have subsequently exchanged additional pleadings. The first instance court hearing was held in the second quarter of 2024, and Lundbeck currently expects a first instance court ruling later in 2026. The first instance court ruling may be appealed, and it may take several years before a final conclusion is reached by the German courts.
In October 2024, Lundbeck received a claim form from the health authority in one of the regions (comunidades autónomas) in Spain, and in November 2024 Lundbeck filed its defense. The first instance court hearing was held in the second quarter of 2025, and a first instance ruling
was issued in the third quarter of 2025. The court dismissed the health authority's claim based on time-barring. The health authority has appealed the decision.
Lundbeck has been informed about potential claims in several European countries, however, it is still uncertain whether the potential claims will be actively pursued.
In Canada, Lundbeck is involved in a product liability class-action lawsuit against several Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) manufacturers (including Lundbeck), alleging that SSRIs (Celexa®/Cipralex®) induce autism birth defects. Lundbeck firmly disputes the claim. Plaintiff's counsel has agreed to seek instructions to have this case dismissed, thereby removing the need for the defendants to pursue a dismissal application.
Lundbeck received a civil investigative demand ("CID") from the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") in March 2020. The CID seeks information regarding the sales, marketing, and promotion (including the promotional speaker program) of Trintellix®. Lundbeck is cooperating with the DOJ.
Otsuka and Lundbeck received paragraph IV certifications from Sun Pharma, Apotex, and Alvogen with respect to certain patents listed for Abilify Maintena® in the U.S. and commenced patent infringement proceedings against all three companies. The cases against Apotex and Alvogen have now been settled and accordingly all cases have now been resolved.
In June 2022 in the U.S., several entities created for the purpose of receiving assignment of claims from payors providing health insurance coverage pursuant to Medicare Parts C and D and Medicaid filed a complaint against Lundbeck and others. The complaint alleged that Lundbeck and the other defendants conspired to increase the unit price and quantity dispensed of Xenazine®. The case was dismissed with prejudice in 2023, all appeals have been exhausted, and the case is closed.
In June 2023 in the U.S., Humana Inc., an insurer, filed a complaint against Lundbeck U.S. legal entities. The complaint alleges that Lundbeck engaged in an illegal kickback scheme to increase the sales and sale price of Lundbeck's Xenazine®. The complaint alleges that Lundbeck's activities targeted Humana Inc. and other private Medicare insurers who were forced to bear the costs of the alleged illegally subsidized drug sales. Lundbeck denies the allegations in the complaint and intends to defend itself.

NOTES
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the first three months ended 31 March 2026 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements for interim financial reporting of listed companies. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2025, published 4 February 2026. The accounting policies, judgements and significant estimates are consistent with those applied in the Annual Report 2025.
Further IAS 34 disclosure requirements for interim financial reporting are included in section 2, Business Performance. For disclosures regarding revenue and segment information see section 2.1 Revenue by product and section 2.2 Revenue by geographical area. For disclosures regarding a restructuring provision recognized in Q1 2026 see section 2.4 EBIT and adjusted EBITDA and for disclosures regarding pending legal proceedings (contingent liabilities) see section 2.10 General corporate matters.
On 2 December 2024, Lundbeck announced the successful acquisition of Longboard Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ('Longboard'). Through this transaction, Lundbeck obtained control of Longboard by acquiring 100% of Longboard's share capital. The purchase price allocation was finalized at the end of 2025, and, consequently, the first quarter of 2025 comparative information has been restated to reflect final fair value of the Longboard's net assets at the acquisition date and the related amortization. The restatement in the Condensed Statement of Profit or Loss reflects a DKK 40 million increase in 'Research and development costs' related to know-how amortization as well as the tax effect of DKK 8 million, which reduced the 'Tax on profit for the period'. For further information see note 5.1 Business combination in the Annual Report 2025.
A number of new amendments came into effect from 1 January 2026. The Group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these amended standards.

1 Measured at fair value
2 Disclosed at fair value
The fair value of listed securities is based on publicly quoted prices of the invested assets. The fair value of derivatives is calculated by applying recognized measurement techniques, whereby assumptions are based on the market conditions prevailing at the balance sheet date. The fair value of contingent consideration is calculated as the discounted cash outflows (DCF method) from future milestone payments, taking probability of success into consideration. The fair value of other financial assets is calculated through the financial performance of the market inputs (i.e. interest swap rates) and other market conditions prevailing at the balance sheet date. The carrying amount of bank and bond debt is believed to be equal to or close to fair value as the interest is variable for these instruments.
ADJUSTED EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is the main performance indicator measuring ongoing operational profitability and is used internally and externally. To permit a better understanding of the underlying operational performance, the operating result is adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, impairment losses and reversals of impairment losses, as well as adjustments restricted to the following categories: (i) Integration expenses, (ii) Restructuring expenses, (iii) Impairment costs, (iv) Gains/losses on divestment of businesses, (v) Acquisition expenses, (vi) Other adjustments.
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit, adjusted net profit and adjusted EPS are non-IFRS performance measures.
STATEMENT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE REGISTERED EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TEAM
The Board of Directors and the Registered Executive Leadership Team have discussed and adopted the financial report of H. Lundbeck A/S for the period 1 January to 31 March 2026. The financial report is presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements for interim financial reports of listed companies.
We consider the accounting policies applied to be appropriate. Accordingly, the financial report gives a true and fair view of the Group's assets, liabilities and financial position as of 31 March 2026, and of the results of the Group's operations and cash flows for the period ended on 31 March 2026.
In our opinion, the Management's Review (pages 6-20) gives a true and fair view of activity developments, the Group's general financial position and the results for the period. It also gives a fair view of the significant risks and uncertainty factors that may affect the Group relative to the disclosures in the Annual Report 2025.
The financial report has not been subject to audit or reviewed by the company's independent auditors.

About H. Lundbeck A/SLundbeck is a biopharmaceutical company focusing exclusively on brain health. With more than 70 years of experience in neuroscience, we are committed to improving the lives of people with neurological and psychiatric diseases.
Brain disorders affect a large part of the world's population, and the effects are felt throughout society. With the rapidly improving understanding of the biology of the brain, we hold ourselves accountable for advancing brain health by curiously exploring new opportunities for treatments.
As a focused innovator, we strive for our research and development programs to tackle some of the most complex neurological challenges. We develop transformative medicines targeting people for whom there are few or no treatments available, expanding into neuro-specialty and neuro-rare from our strong legacy within psychiatry and neurology.
We are committed to fighting stigma and we act to improve health equity. We strive to create long-term value for our shareholders by making a positive contribution to patients, their families and society as a whole.
