Additionally, its collaboration with Absci Corporation to develop AI-designed therapeutics for dermatological conditions has expanded, adding a second target. The company's solid fundamentals, including steady annual revenue and net income growth, have also garnered investor attention. Former CFO Mike McClellan's departure to Recordati may have minimal impact.

📋 Highlights

Revenue Growth Drivers

The company's medical dermatology portfolio was the key driver of growth, with Ilumetri and Ebglyss being the standout products. Ilumetri remains on track to achieve peak net sales of over EUR 300 million, while Ebglyss is expected to play a significant role in treating naive patients for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. The company is confident in its ability to achieve double-digit net sales CAGR through 2030 and reach an EBITDA margin of approximately 25% by 2028.

Pipeline Progress

Almirall's R&D pipeline made significant progress, with the anti-IL-1RAP antibody entering Phase II for Hidradenitis Suppurativa and other assets advancing. The company is running a study called ADlong to generate data on the efficacy and safety of lebrikizumab for up to 5 years. The progress in the pipeline is expected to add depth to the company's already differentiated portfolio.

Valuation and Outlook

With a P/E Ratio of 126.43 and an EV/EBITDA of 13.94, the market is pricing in significant growth expectations. Analysts estimate next year's revenue growth at 11.3%, which is in line with the company's guidance. The company's ROE is 1.44%, and the Net Debt / EBITDA ratio is 0.41, indicating a relatively healthy balance sheet. As the company continues to execute on its pipeline and drive growth with its biologic therapies, it is well-positioned to achieve its midterm guidance.

Guidance and Future Expectations

While it is too early to comment on the Bloomberg consensus of EUR 280 million EBITDA for 2026, the company's track record and pipeline progress suggest that it is on track to achieve its goals. With a clear ambition to shape leadership in medical dermatology in Europe, Almirall is poised for continued growth and success.
