Guidance upgraded
•2026 guidance is upgraded: sales are expected to grow by a low-teens percentage at CER. Business EPS at CER is expected to grow by a mid-teens percentage.3
Belén Garijo, Chief Executive Officer: “Sanofi achieved another strong quarter with double-digit sales growth of 14.3%, mainly driven by our new medicines and Dupixent. Business EPS increased by 19.6%, driven by cost discipline. The pipeline milestones included two regulatory approvals, one regulatory submission, and two additional regulatory designations. Our strong commercial and financial momentum to date leads us to raise our 2026 guidance: sales growth is now expected at a low-teens percentage and business EPS growth at a mid-teens percentage, underscoring our sustainable, profitable growth.
In the third quarter, we accelerated Sanofi’s transformation by expanding our long-standing alliance with Regeneron, which opens up further opportunities in immunology. We also continued to simplify our portfolio through a partnership with Cheplapharm covering a number of legacy medicines4.
We are confident about our ability to pursue our strong commercial and financial performance in the short and medium term. The whole organisation is focused on managing Sanofi’s post-Dupixent trajectory over the next decade. Our priority is to protect earnings through Dupixent’s loss of exclusivity. We have already begun taking action to improve R&D productivity. Business development and M&A will be critical to complement this transformation. We remain committed to our long-term capital allocation policy, including our progressive dividend.”

Sales by geography
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Net sales (€ million) | Q3 2026 | Change at CER | YTD 2026 | Change at CER |
| United States (US) | 8,603 | | +23.9 | % | 20,236 | | +27.4 | % |
| Europe | 2,579 | | -0.9 | % | 6,883 | | +1.9 | % |
| Rest of World | 3,262 | | +5.7 | % | 9,431 | | +3.1 | % |
| of which China | 762 | | +2.6 | % | 2,087 | | -1.5 | % |
US sales were €8,603 million and increased by 23.9%. The growth was driven by Immunology (Dupixent and Kevzara), pharma launches, and insulins with vaccines decreasing by 6.8% from lower influenza and Beyfortus sales partly offset by newly acquired Heplisav-B.
Europe sales were €2,579 million and decreased by 0.9%. The slight decrease was driven by influenza vaccines and legacy medicines, only partly offset by Dupixent and pharma launches.
Rest of World sales were €3,262 million and increased by 5.7%. The growth was driven by Dupixent and launches, including Beyfortus. A decrease in legacy medicines offset growth in insulins. Vaccines overall was relatively stable with Beyfortus offsetting a decrease in influenza vaccines. China sales were €762 million and increased by 2.6% in a market growing at about the same rate. Sales growth was driven by Sarclisa, Dupixent, and insulins with vaccines decreasing, mainly the polio/pertussis/hib primary vaccines due to the decline in childbirths.
Business operating income
In Q3 2026, business operating income (BOI) was €5,430 million and increased by 19.7% (22.2% at actual exchange rates) from €4,445 million in Q3 2025. The ratio of BOI to net sales was 37.4% and increased by 1.7pp (37.6% at actual exchange rates, up by 1.9pp). The increase was mainly driven by growth in business gross profit and operating leverage partly offset by the increase in other operating expenses from higher profit sharing to Sanofi’s collaboration partner Regeneron. In YTD 2026, BOI was €11,688 million and increased by 21.1% (19.2% at actual exchange rates) from €9,808 million in YTD 2025. The ratio of BOI to net sales was 31.9% and increased by 1.6pp (32.0% at actual exchange rates, up by 1.7pp).
Business development
In September, Sanofi and Cheplapharm announced the intention to create a new strategic partnership in mature medicines under which Cheplapharm would take over from Sanofi a selection of 20 mature medicines and three manufacturing sites worldwide. In return, Sanofi will receive a 26.4% equity stake in Cheplapharm, building on a collaboration that started in 2014. The commercial transfer of the medicine portfolio is planned to begin in the first quarter of 2027, followed by the transfer of the sites, subject to information and consultation procedures with employee representatives, regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to be fully completed by the third quarter of 2027. The medicines being divested from Sanofi include Lovenox/Clexane (enoxaparin), excluding in the US. Lovenox/Clexane had 2025 sales of €822 million. Additional financial details are expected to be provided at a later stage.
In early October, Sanofi and Sanofi’s collaboration partner Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced an expansion of their longstanding antibody collaboration, adding multiple next-generation, long-acting antibodies to the alliance. Under the expanded license and collaboration agreement, the companies intend to co-develop and co-market four new long-acting, Regeneron-invented antibodies targeting interleukin-13 (IL13), interleukin-4 (IL4), interleukin-4 receptor alpha (IL4Rα), and an IL4xIL13 bispecific. The IL13 antibody REGN20423 is currently in a phase 1 clinical study for atopic dermatitis, and the other three molecules are expected to enter clinical studies in 2027. Regeneron will also have the option to include in the collaboration Sanofi’s lunsekimig, exercisable upon completion of its phase 3 studies for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Regeneron will receive an upfront payment of $1 billion from Sanofi, with the potential for development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments of up to an additional $7 billion. The companies will share development and commercial costs for the new programmes and will split future profits from these potential new medicines 50:50 on a global basis. Regeneron will lead research and development activities, and Sanofi will lead global commercial efforts. The existing profit-sharing agreement on Dupixent and Kevzara will not change.

Global sales continued to be driven by strong demand growth in each of the up to nine approved indications, mainly from greater use of advanced medicines in each disease. US sales were €4,376 million and increased by 40.2%, primarily driven by strong demand, and by an extended benefit from operational improvements which resulted in favourable gross-to-net price adjustments. In Europe, sales were €588 million and increased by 16.1%, reflecting growth across reimbursed indications and continued growth in the larger markets, including Germany, France, and the UK. In Rest of World, sales were €723 million and increased by 22.6%, mainly driven by Japan, Canada, Brazil, and China.
Kevzara (rheumatoid arthritis, other rheumatological indications) sales were €222 million and increased by 67.9%, mainly driven by increased use in rheumatoid arthritis and polymyalgia rheumatica. US remained the biggest market (€167 million, +87.4%).

VIII medicine franchise (ALTUVIIIO and Eloctate) sales were €453 million and increased by 21.3%. Eloctate contributed €45 million and decreased by 41.6%, driven by the absence of supplies to Sanofi’s collaboration partner Sobi.
Fabrazyme (Fabry disease) sales were €260 million and increased by 6.2%, driven by the US (+8.9%) from more patients and higher price, partly offset by slower growth in Europe (+1.6%, to €63 million).
Nexviazyme/Nexviadyme (Pompe disease) sales were €211 million and increased by 4.0%, driven by the US (+14.3%) and Rest of World (+10.7%), partly offset by Europe (-12.2%). Across all geographies, patients are switching from Myozyme/Lumizyme. The Pompe disease franchise (Nexviazyme/Nexviadyme and Myozyme/Lumizyme) sales were €316 million (-3.4%). In general, supply constraints reduce growth.
Ayvakit (systemic mastocytosis) sales were €203 million. Sales were mainly split between the US (€178 million) and Europe (€23 million) with continued growth in the number of patients treated and their duration of treatment. Higher government rebates because of the originator Blueprint becoming part of Sanofi continued to impact US sales. On a market pro-forma basis, sales reached $234 million, an increase of 14.4% from $204 million in Q3 2025. Royalty on sales by CStone Pharmaceuticals in China is recorded in other revenues.
Cerezyme (Gaucher disease) sales were €173 million and increased by 6.2%, driven by Rest of World (+21.3%), partly offset by the US (-2.3%) and Europe (-3.6%). The Gaucher disease franchise (Cerezyme and Cerdelga) sales were €268 million and increased by 6.9%.
Alprolix (coagulation disorder, factor IX) sales were €172 million and increased by 13.4%, driven by Rest of World (+27.9%, to €55 million) mainly due to increased supplies to Sanofi’s collaboration partner Sobi. Growth in the US (+7.5%) partly benefited from gross-to-net price adjustments.
Myozyme/Lumizyme (Pompe disease) sales were €105 million and decreased by 15.6% driven by patients switching to Nexviazyme/Nexviadyme and supply constraints.
Cablivi (acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura) sales were €70 million and increased by 6.1%, driven by the US (+8.6%), mainly from increased patient use. Sales in Europe were €26 million (+4.0%) and in Rest of World €5 million (unchanged).
Xenpozyme (acid sphingomyelinase deficiency) sales were €63 million and increased by 8.8%, driven by the US (+17.4%).
Wayrilz (immune thrombocytopenia) sales were €19 million, all in the US, following approval in August 2025.
Qfitlia (hemophilia A/B) sales were €8 million, of which €7 million in the US, following approval in March 2025.

Lantus (diabetes) sales were €530 million and increased by 18.5%. US sales were €293 million and increased by 35.0% primarily driven by favourable gross-to-net price adjustments and supported by market share gains. Sales also continued to benefit from temporary demand from competitor supply disruptions, an effect expected to moderate over time. Combined sales in Europe and Rest of World increased by 2.7%.
Toujeo (diabetes) sales were €430 million and increased by 31.2%, driven mainly by the US (+121.8%) from favourable gross-to-net price adjustments and market share gains. Sales in Rest of World (+19.0%) and Europe (+4.8%) also grew from an increase in market share.
Plavix (antiplatelet, cardiovascular disease) sales were €206 million and decreased by 10.8%, driven by lower Rest of World sales (majority of sales, €185 million, -11.0%).
Sarclisa (multiple myeloma) sales were €196 million and increased by 25.8%, driven by high growth in Rest of World (+33.3%, to €64 million) and Europe (+28.3%, to €59 million). Sales in the US were €73 million (+18.0%). Globally, growth was supported by increased use in earlier lines of treatment, including front-line transplant-ineligible patients in combination with standard-of-care chemotherapy combinations. The ongoing launch of the new subcutaneous formulation also contributed to growth.
Lovenox (anticoagulant, cardiovascular disease) sales were €174 million and decreased by 12.8%, from lower sales in Europe (-17.8%, to €89 million) and Rest of World (-9.1%, to €82 million), driven by the impact of biosimilar competitors.

Net sales (€ million) | Q3 2026 | Change at CER | YTD 2026 | Change at CER |
| Influenza, COVID-19 | 1,256 | | -18.8 | % | 1,377 | | -21.7 | % |
| Polio/pertussis/hib primary and boosters, incl. Heplisav-B | 823 | | +24.9 | % | 2,187 | | +9.9 | % |

| Total | 3,185 | | -6.6 | % | 5,628 | | -4.3 | % |
Vaccines sales were €3,185 million and decreased by 6.6%, mainly driven by phasing of influenza and lower Beyfortus US sales.
Influenza, COVID-19 vaccines sales were €1,256 million and decreased by 18.8%, mainly due to phasing of seasonal deliveries in the Northern Hemisphere with a higher proportion in the fourth quarter compared to 2025.
Polio/pertussis/hib primary and booster vaccines, including Heplisav-B sales were €823 million and increased by 24.9%. Sales in the US (€353 million, +69.8%) continued to benefit from newly acquired Heplisav-B while sales in Rest of World (€347 million, +0.3%) were impacted by fewer childbirths, primarily in China.
Beyfortus sales were €631 million and decreased by 15.4%, driven by the US (€240 million, -39.3%), including a lower central order from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This was partly offset by Europe (€266 million, +1.9%) and Rest of World (€125 million, +38.2%) benefiting from the expanded geographical availability as Beyfortus is now protecting babies in more than 50 countries.
Meningitis, travel, and endemic vaccines sales were €476 million and increased by 4.2% from higher sales in all geographies.

Immunology
Tzield/Teizeild (teplizumab)
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) accepted Teizeild for regulatory review to delay the onset of stage 3 type 1 diabetes (T1D) in patients aged one to seven years diagnosed with stage 2 T1D. Teizeild is already approved for this indication in adults and children aged eight years and older.
lunsekimig (IL13xTSLP Nanobody® VHH)
At the European Respiratory Society Congress 2026 in Barcelona, Spain, positive phase 2 data from two separate studies showed that lunsekimig, targeting thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and interleukin-13 (IL13), led to clinically meaningful improvements in patients with asthma and CRSwNP.
•The AIRCULES phase 2b dose-ranging study (clinical study identifier: NCT06102005) evaluated the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of lunsekimig in addition to standard of care therapy over 48 weeks in adult patients with moderate-to-severe asthma who had one or more exacerbations in the preceding year, compared with placebo. Lunsekimig 300 mg every four weeks (Q4W) achieved a statistically significant and clinically meaningful reduction in the annual asthma exacerbation rate
| | | | | |
SANOFI PRESS RELEASE Q3 2026 | 5 |
over 48 weeks compared to placebo, regardless of biomarker status, meeting the study’s primary objective. The study also met the key secondary endpoint, demonstrating statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in lung function at week 48, as measured by pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second compared to placebo, which was observed as early as week 4 and sustained through week 48. In addition, patients reported improvements in scores for the asthma control questionnaire.
•The DUET phase 2a proof-of-concept study (clinical study identifier: NCT06454240) evaluated the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of lunsekimig 300 mg Q4W in addition to standard-of-care therapy, in adult patients with CRSwNP compared with placebo at week 24. Lunsekimig demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements across all primary and key secondary endpoints.
In both studies, lunsekimig was well-tolerated.
Rare diseases
Ayvakit (avapritinib)
The US FDA approved a label update for Ayvakit including a 50 mg daily dose option in adults with indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM), for use as clinically indicated after at least six months of treatment at 25 mg daily, which remains the recommended starting dose. ISM is defined by a broad spectrum of disease activity that varies by patient, highlighting the importance of providing flexibility to healthcare providers to address these diverse medical needs. This label update was based on observed data for Ayvakit 50 mg from the long-term, open-label extension portion of the PIONEER clinical trial (clinical study identifier: NCT03731260).
Vaccines
MenQuadfi (meningococcal disease)
The EU approved an extension of the indication for MenQuadfi (Meningococcal Group A, C, W and Y conjugate vaccine) to include infants from six weeks of age to help protect against invasive meningococcal disease caused by Neisseria meningitidis serogroups A, C, W, and Y. MenQuadfi was previously approved in the EU for use in individuals aged 12 months and older.
Invasive meningococcal disease is a life-threatening bacterial infection that can progress rapidly, with patients potentially deteriorating from the onset of symptoms to death within 24 hours. Infants are among the populations at highest risk for invasive meningococcal disease, facing high rates of mortality and severe long-term complications. Although serogroup A is now rarely reported in the EU, serogroups C, W, and Y remain responsible for a significant share of invasive meningococcal disease cases.
Beyfortus (nirsevimab)
The Chinese National Medical Products Administration granted a priority review to Beyfortus for the regulatory submission to extend the indication to children up to 24 months of age during their second respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) season. Beyfortus is currently approved for the prevention of RSV lower respiratory tract infection in neonates and infants entering or during their first RSV season.
SP0087 (rabies)
The EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) issued a positive opinion for SP0087 for pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis against rabies in all age groups. This next-generation vaccine is highly purified, free from human and animal-origin materials, with enhanced thermostability and longer shelf-life.
SP0289 (influenza H5 pandemic)
The CHMP granted PRIME eligibility to the second generation structurally designed mRNA influenza H5 pandemic vaccine. This pandemic preparedness vaccine is intended for prevention of influenza in case of an officially declared pandemic. The CHMP acknowledged the vaccine's potential to address unmet medical need, noting the mRNA platform enables rapid manufacturing and adaptation to emerging virus variants or novel pandemic strains.

Sustainability update
Acting for nature: reducing dependencies, building resilience
Biodiversity is a key focus area in the efforts to limit the impact on nature and reduce to a minimum the use of natural resources.
Sanofi has completed a nature-related risk and dependency analysis across its operations and value chain. The analysis identified four critical nature-based commodities: horseshoe crab blood, palm oil, cattle, and pig derivatives. Although the projected cost impacts are financially immaterial, Sanofi is proactively strengthening its long-term resilience through targeted adaptation measures.
Horseshoe crab blood is essential for testing the safety of injectable medicines and vaccines, as required by regulators. Sanofi is accelerating its transition to synthetic alternatives and has an action plan with the following targets to be achieved by the end of 2030: (1) 70% of endotoxin tests performed without horseshoe crab reagents in all Sanofi quality control laboratories; (2) All new launches submitted with synthetic method.
This plan reinforces Sanofi's commitment to reducing its impact on nature, while safeguarding uninterrupted access to medicines for patients worldwide.

Share of profit from investments accounted for using the equity method was €62 million in Q3 2026 and unchanged from €62 million in Q3 2025 and mainly included the share of profit related to Vaxelis. EUROAPI and Opella are included only in the IFRS accounts (please see the net income reconciliation below). In YTD 2026, the share of profit from investments accounted for using the equity method was €136 million compared to €139 million in YTD 2025 and mainly included the share of profit related to Vaxelis.
Business operating income was €5,430 million in Q3 2026 and increased by 22.2% (19.7% at CER) from €4,445 million in Q3 2025. The ratio of BOI to net sales was 37.6% and increased by 1.9pp (37.4% at CER, up by 1.7pp). The increase was mainly driven by growth in business gross profit and operating leverage partly offset by the increase in other operating expenses from higher profit sharing to Sanofi’s collaboration partner Regeneron. In YTD 2026, BOI was €11,688 million and increased by 19.2% (21.1% at CER) from €9,808 million in YTD 2025. The ratio of BOI to net sales was 32.0% and increased by 1.7pp (31.9% at CER, up by 1.6pp).
Net financial expenses were €101 million in Q3 2026 compared to €64 million in Q3 2025, reflecting higher net debt in the quarter. In YTD 2026, net financial expenses were €283 million compared to €191 million in YTD 2025, similarly reflecting higher net debt.

Opella
On April 30, 2025, Sanofi and CD&R closed the Opella transaction, creating an independent global consumer healthcare leader. Sanofi retained a significant shareholding in Opella through a 48.2% equity interest in OPAL JV Co, which indirectly holds 100% of Opella. Bpifrance owns 1.8% and CD&R the remaining 50.0%. The transaction was completed on the terms previously disclosed, and Sanofi received net cash proceeds of €10.4 billion in 2025. To aid the ongoing assessment of the value of Sanofi’s Opella stake, Opella’s summary financials are disclosed at Q2/H1 and Q4/FY financial results.
Reconciliation of IFRS net income to business net income (see Appendix 4)
In YTD 2026, IFRS net income was €4,979 million. The main items excluded from business net income were:
•Net income from discontinued operations, amounting to €26 million.
•Amortisation expense of €1,643 million. Of this, €1,579 million related to intangible assets measured at their acquisition-date fair values (Ayvakit €442 million, Bioverativ €430 million, Tzield €157 million, Ablynx €123 million, Rezurock €114 million, Beyfortus €88 million, Heplisav-B €63 million, and Aventis €3 million), and €64 million related to intangible assets from other acquisitions and initially measured at acquisition cost (licenses/products). These items had no cash impact.
•Impairment expense of €1,018 million, mainly comprising a €952 million impairment loss related to the amlitelimab intangible asset booked in Q2 2026.
•The €307 million impact of the unwinding of the step-up of inventories remeasured at their acquisition-date fair values, which relates to the Blueprint and Dynavax acquisitions and is reported within cost of sales in the IFRS consolidated income statement.
•Restructuring costs and similar items of €648 million, mainly related to redundancy plans of €308 million, expenses related to assets of €225 million, and integration and acquisition costs of €91 million (including Blueprint and Dynavax).
•Other gains and losses, and litigation, of €382 million, mainly related to ongoing major litigations.
•A financial expense of €191 million related to the re-measurement of the liability related to royalties on Beyfortus US sales.
•A €566 million tax effect arising from the items listed above, mainly comprising €290 million of deferred taxes generated by amortisation and impairment of intangible assets, and €105 million associated with restructuring costs and similar items.
•Other items included Sanofi’s share of losses from investments accounted for using the equity method, relating to its associates EUROAPI and OPAL JV Co (Opella).
Cash flow
In YTD 2026, after a decrease in net working capital of €801 million and capital expenditures of €1,512 million, free cash flow before restructuring, acquisitions, and disposals amounted to €7,771 million. After cash outflows of €599 million related to restructuring and similar items and of €674 million related to acquisitions1, and proceeds from disposals1 of €495 million, free cash flow2 was €6,993 million.
Net debt
Net debt increased by €1,213 million. Free cash flow of €6,993 million was more than offset by: the acquisition of Dynavax for €1,645 million; the share buyback of €1,013 million; the dividend payout of €4,923 million; the net cash outflow from the Opella transaction of €225 million; a negative foreign exchange impact on net debt of €219 million; and other negative items of €181 million. As a result, net debt increased from €10,988 million on January 1, 2026 (after the adjustment from the IFRS 9 amendment at the start of the period) to €12,201 million on September 30, 2026 (net of €5,966 million in cash and cash equivalents).
Shareholder return
On April 29, 2026, at the annual general meeting, shareholders approved the proposed dividend of €4.12 per share for 2025, marking 31 years of consecutive dividend increases. Additionally, Sanofi executed a €1 billion share buyback programme in 2026, with the purpose of share cancellation. The programme was completed in April 2026.
1 Not exceeding €500 million per transaction (inclusive of all payments related to the transaction).
2 Non-IFRS financial measure (see definition in Appendix 8).

Business gross profit
Business gross profit is a non-IFRS financial measure that excludes from gross profit as reported under IFRS the impact of expenses arising from the fair value remeasurement of inventories following acquisitions that are either (i) a business combination under IFRS 3 or (ii) part of a group of assets within the meaning of paragraph 2b of IFRS 3.
Business operating income
Business operating income is a non-IFRS financial measure which is derived from operating income as reported under IFRS, after eliminating:
•amortisation and impairment losses charged against intangible assets (other than software and other rights of an industrial or operational nature);
•fair value remeasurements of contingent consideration relating to business combinations or business divestments;
•expenses arising from the remeasurement of inventories following business combinations, or acquisitions of groups of assets that do not constitute a business within the meaning of paragraph 2b of IFRS 3;
•restructuring costs and similar items; and
•gains and losses (including gains and losses on major divestments), and costs and provisions related to litigation, as reported within “Other gains and losses, and litigation” under IFRS.
In addition:
•the share of profits/losses from investments accounted for using the equity method is added, to the extent that this relates (i) to joint ventures or (ii) to associates with which Sanofi has entered into R&D agreements and/or whose operations are managed as an integral part of Sanofi’s business activities; and
•net income attributable to non-controlling interests related to continuing operations, and excluding the effects of the above reconciling items, is deducted.
Business net income
Business net income is a key non-IFRS financial measure. It is defined as net income attributable to equity holders of Sanofi as reported under IFRS, excluding:
•net income from discontinued operations;
•amortisation of intangible assets;
•impairment of intangible assets;
•fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration related to business combinations or to disposals;
•expenses arising from the impact of acquisitions on inventories;
•restructuring costs and similar items (comprising transaction, integration, and separation costs in relation to major acquisitions and disposals)1;
•other gains and losses (including gains and losses on disposals of non-current assets1);
•costs or provisions associated with litigation1;
•financial (income)/expense related to liabilities carried at amortised cost, other than net debt;
•tax effects related to the items listed above as well as effects of major tax disputes;
•the share of profits/losses from investments accounted for using the equity method, except to the extent that this relates (i) to joint ventures or (ii) to associates with which Sanofi has entered into R&D agreements and/or whose operations are managed as an integral part of Sanofi’s business activities; and,
•net income attributable to non-controlling interests related to the items listed above.
Business EPS
Sanofi also publishes business earnings per share (business EPS), a non-IFRS financial measure obtained by dividing business net
income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.
1 Reported in the IFRS line items “Restructuring costs and similar items” and “Gains and losses on disposals, and litigation”.
| | | | | |
SANOFI PRESS RELEASE Q3 2026 | 22 |
Effective tax rate
The effective tax rate is a non-IFRS financial measure calculated on the basis of business operating income, minus net financial expenses and before (i) the share of profit/loss from investments accounted for using the equity method and (ii) net income attributable to non-controlling interests.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow is a non-IFRS financial measure which is reviewed by management, and which management believes provides useful information to measure the net cash generated from Sanofi’s operations that is available for strategic investments1 (net of divestments1), for debt repayment, and for payments to shareholders. “Free cash flow” is determined from the business net income after adding back (in the case of expenses and losses) or deducting (in the case of income and gains) the following items: depreciation, amortisation, and impairment, share of undistributed earnings from investments accounted for using the equity method, gains and losses on disposals of non-current assets, net change in provisions (including pensions and other post-employment benefits), deferred taxes, share-based expense, and other non-cash items. It also includes net changes in working capital, capital expenditures and other asset acquisitions2 net of disposal proceeds2, and payments related to restructuring and similar items. “Free cash flow” is not defined by IFRS, and it is not a substitute for “Net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities” as reported under IFRS.
