Guidance raised based on solid H1 results and continued strong expectations for the full year 2025
Key highlights
Lundbeck’s total revenue grew by +14% CER[1](+14% DKK) to DKK 12,258 million in the first six months of 2025. Growth in the U.S. and Europe was the driver of this strong performance.
- United States: DKK 6,524 million (+22% CER; +23% DKK)
- Europe: DKK 2,868 million (+14% CER; +14% DKK)
- International Operations: DKK 2,724 million (+0% CER; -3% DKK)
The revenue of Lundbeck’s strategic brands increased by +21% CER (+21% DKK), reaching DKK 9,436 million, representing 77% of total revenue
- Rexulti®: DKK 3,039 million (+28% CER; +28% DKK)
- Brintellix®/Trintellix®: DKK 2,390 million (+3% CER; +2% DKK)
- Vyepti®: DKK 2,105 million (+56% CER; +57% DKK)
- Abilify LAI franchise[2]: DKK 1,902 million (+10% CER; +10% DKK)
Adjusted EBITDA[3] reached DKK 4,221 million, growing +24% CER (+25% DKK), driven by continuous strong momentum across strategic brands fueled by the strong performance of Vyepti® and Rexulti® as well as part of the successful execution of the Focused Innovator Strategy reinforcing Lundbeck’s market leadership across key therapeutic areas.
Adjusted EBITDA margin (DKK) reached 34.4% equivalent to an increase of 3.1 percentage points, driven by the strong performance of strategic brands and supported by disciplined resource allocation and capital reallocation in line with our Focused Innovator strategy. These measures more than offset increased R&D investments. EBITDA increased to DKK 4,150 million (+28% CER; +29% DKK).
Financial guidance 2025 raised
On 13 August 2025, Lundbeck announced an increase in its full-year revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance at CER. Revenue is now expected to grow by 11% to 13% at CER, up from the previous forecast of 8% to 11%, compared to the prior year’s revenue excluding hedging effects. Adjusted EBITDA growth is now projected at 16% to 21% at CER, previously 8% to 14%, also excluding hedging effects. Further details can be found in section 2.8 Outlook.
Lundbeck’s President and CEO, Charl van Zyl said:
"I am pleased to present an impressive performance for the first half of 2025 with strong outlook for remainder of the year, forming the basis for our raised financial guidance and reflecting the continued momentum of our Focused Innovator strategy. Supported by our successful capital reallocation program, this sustained growth is driven by our strategic brands. Both Vyepti® and Rexulti® continue to gain market share in the U.S., with Vyepti® being the fastest-growing anti-CGRP therapy.”
