Vetoquinol: Sales for 1st Quarter 2026
Vetoquinol: Sales for 1st Quarter 2026
Sales: €125 million -0.3% at constant exchange rates
LURE, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
Vetoquinol (Paris:VETO):
Sales for the first quarter of 2026 amounted to €125 million, down 4.3% on a reported basis, flat (-0.3%) at constant exchange rates and up 1.2% compared to the previous year at constant exchange rates and excluding the complementary product line simplification program.
The impact of exchange rates was historically high during the first quarter, reaching -€5.2 million, primarily in the United States (-€2.9 million) and India (-€1.5 million). The program to simplify complementary product lines, which continues through 2026, impacted sales by €1.7 million. Excluding these two effects, sales increased by 1.2% compared to the previous year.
Sales from Essential products, at €83 million, were stable at constant exchange rates compared to the previous year, while sales from complementary products, excluding the simplification program and at constant exchange rates, increased by 3%, driven by a solid performance in the U.S. In the 1st quarter of 2026, sales of Essential products accounted for 66.3% of the company’s sales, compared to 65.0% in the first quarter of 2025.
Business in the United States confirmed its rebound in the 1st quarter. Sales rose 15.6% at constant exchange rates to €28 million. Sales in Europe totaled €65 million; sales in the Americas excluding the United States at €17 million, and sales in Asia/Pacific at €20 million, both at constant exchange rates. Sales of products for companion animals totaled €93 million, representing 71% of sales, and sales of products for farm animals totaled €38 million, at constant exchange rates.
Sales for the first quarter of 2026 have not been audited by the Statutory Auditors.
Excluding the impact of a highly unstable geopolitical environment, 2026 will be a transition year in terms of business activity, marked by a slowdown in the program to streamline complementary product lines and preparation for the launch of the new Essentials in 2027.
