Revenue Growth Drivers

The Biopharma segment was the main driver of revenue growth, with a 10.9% increase in the third quarter, led by the immunoglobulins franchise, which grew by 18% in the quarter and 14% year-to-date, both at constant currency. The company's albumin revenue was impacted by pricing pressure in China due to government-imposed cost controls. However, Grifols remains confident in its ability to navigate the market, given its strong partnership with Haier and Shanghai RAAS.

Margin Expansion and Cash Flow Generation

Grifols' adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 25.8% in Q3 2025, driven by tight cost management and operational efficiency. The company's free cash flow pre-M&A, pre-dividends improved by EUR 257 million versus year-to-date 2024, driven by improved EBITDA contribution, lower cash adjustments, and disciplined CapEx spend. As Rahul Srinivasan noted, "The principal driver of the improving performance is greater vigilance on cash flow across the entire organization."

Valuation and Outlook

Grifols' current valuation metrics indicate a P/E Ratio of 24.78, EV/EBITDA of 8.88, and a Free Cash Flow Yield of 12.35%. The company's guidance for full-year 2025 revenue and adjusted EBITDA remains unchanged, and it has updated its free cash flow guidance to more than EUR 400 million. Analysts estimate next year's revenue growth at 5.7%. With its strong operational and financial performance, Grifols is well-positioned to drive long-term value creation.
