The people behind Ipsen's purpose and passion
Behind the disease statistics and the performance indicators are people.
Some are living with high unmet medical needs. Some are not.
But they all share a common trait: they want to have a positive impact.

Albireo acquisition enriches Rare Disease portfolio
In March 2023, Ipsen acquired Albireo Pharma, a leading innovator in the treatment of rare liver conditions.
Albireo's novel bile-acid modulators, such as Bylvay® (odevixibat), offer promising results for rare pediatric and adult cholestatic liver diseases. Bylvay® was approved in its second indication in June 2023 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for patients living with cholestatic pruritus due to Alagille syndrome.
The acquisition of Albireo demonstrates Ipsen's continued strengthening of its rare disease expertise and focus.

Bringing Ipsen into the next phase of growth
David Loew, Chief Executive Officer
2023 marked the beginning of a new phase for Ipsen, one that we began preparing when we launched our strategy at the end of 2020. Over the past three years, we have shifted from reliance on the blockbuster Somatuline® (lanreotide) to four growth platforms: Onivyde® (irinotecan liposome injection) , Cabometyx® (cabozantinib), Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA) and Decapeptyl® (triptorelin). We've enriched our portfolio, acquiring Epizyme (oncology) in 2022, and Albireo (rare liver disease) in early 2023. Our pipeline has also expanded, adding more than 25 new assets since 2020. This growth has been possible thanks to the efficiencies we have generated, which we have used to reinvest in expanding our pipeline and launching new medicines. We're developing our expertise and presence in rare liver diseases, with both Bylvay® and the investigational
medicine elafibranor, for which we expect regulatory decisions in the coming months in the U.S. and Europe. This progress demonstrates that our strategy is delivering, leading to a stronger, more resilient Ipsen.
Ipsen's strategy
- Bring the full potential of our innovative medicines to patients
- Build a high-value, sustainable pipeline
- Deliver efficiencies to enable investments and support growth
- Boost a culture of collaboration, excellence and impact on society
A robust strategy
Three years ago, Ipsen was facing headwinds: our blockbuster medicine had lost exclusivity and generic competitors were beginning to appear. Our pipeline was also low on promising assets. To continue to flourish and ensure we could bring crucial innovation to patients, we needed to diversify our portfolio and expand our pipeline. Our mission, "Focus. Together. For patients and society," gave us a clear direction, while the four pillars of strategy laid out our next steps. Our ambition: to be a leading global mid-size biopharmaceutical company in our three therapy areas of Oncology, Rare Disease and Neuroscience. It's exciting to see how far we have already come, and to look ahead to our big plans for 2024 and beyond to continue on our growth trajectory.
"Over the past three years, we have shifted from reliance on the blockbuster Somatuline® to four growth platforms. Our strategy is delivering, leading to a stronger,
more resilient Ipsen."

Sustainability:
a core value at Ipsen
Sustainability has always been important at Ipsen, with its 95-year history and its commitment to improving people's health. But sustainability is more than just a question of carbon footprint. Since joining the company in 2020, my goal has been to ensure that Ipsen is sustainable across the board: environmentally, of course, but also in terms of the health and longevity of the business, of our culture, and of society as a whole.
"My goal is to ensure that Ipsen is sustainable across the board: environmentally, but also in terms of the health and longevity of the business, of our culture, and of society as a whole."
Generation Ipsen:
Environment, Patients, People, Governance
Everyone at Ipsen is deeply proud of the contributions we make to improving the lives of people living with high unmet medical needs. And everyone at Ipsen strives continually to do more: we're proud of our culture of impact. That's one of the reasons we created Generation Ipsen, our sustainability framework. We're ambitious, not only in terms of what we do, but also how we do it. We want to have a positive impact across the board. That means taking tangible steps to preserve the environment for future generations. It means building a culture where talent is nurtured and developed in a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment. It means ensuring we bring transformative medicines to patients, and in doing so, listening to them every step of the way. And it means upholding the highest ethical standards at every step, ensuring robust governance across the organization. You'll find a lot more information in the coming pages about how we are building robust actions across all four pillars of Generation Ipsen. I'm very proud of the progress we've made in each of these four pillars.
A bright future ahead
2023 saw a tremendous amount of progress, teeing us up for another strong year in 2024. With four potential launches this year, we're focused on excellence, execution and rapidity. We continue to set bold goals and ensure we have the resources to achieve them. We have a bright future ahead, guided by our deep-rooted belief that taking a sustainable approach will ensure we make a positive impact and deliver outstanding results for people around the world living with high unmet medical needs.

2023: successfully implementing our strategy
Our ambition is to be a leading, global mid-size biopharmaceutical company with a focus on transformative medicines in Oncology, Rare Disease and Neuroscience.
Focus. Together. For patients and society.
In 2020, we rolled out our strategy, designed to boost and focus our collective strengths to create a real impact for people living with high unmet medical needs worldwide.
Over the past three years, our strategy has delivered sustainable growth, ensuring a strong foundation for the future.

NEW PROGRAMS added to Ipsen's portfolio through partnership, licensing and acquisitions since 2020
95%
of electricity used in Ipsen facilities is renewable
Since 2020, our strategy has delivered tangible results. Our growth platforms have seen a double-digit increase in sales, while our enhanced commercial and medical capabilities helped us manage the decline of Somatuline® following the arrival of competitors in various markets.
Our focus on external innovation has enabled us to diversify our pipeline and portfolio.
Since 2020, we have added more than
25 new programs to our pipeline through partnerships, licensing and acquisitions. This includes Bylvay®, through our acquisition of Albireo in early 2023. We have further expanded manufacturing capacities and rolled out efficiency initiatives, all while embracing a simplification mindset and digital tools.
We continue to foster a culture of inclusion and excellence. In 2023, for the first time, women made up over half of our Global Leadership Team. And in the same year, 25 Ipsen sites received external certifications for our culture.. Last but certainly not least, we continue to reduce our carbon (CO2) footprint, having switched to 95% green electricity use in 2023.

Dynamic growth built on solid foundations
Our strategy is serving as a springboard into the next phase of Ipsen's transformation: growth and expansion
Four promising launch opportunities are driving growth across our business.
In February 2024, Onivyde® was approved by the FDA for use in first-line pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
Our two rare liver disease assets, Bylvay® and elafibranor, have the potential to deliver benefits to patients. We are already rolling out
Bylvay® for Alagille syndrome in the U.S., and we anticipate a regulatory decision for elafibranor for primary biliary cholangitis under a brand name in 2024.
Sohonos® saw U.S. FDA approval in August 2023. Sohonos® is the first-ever treatment for the ultra-rare bone disorder fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP).
Looking ahead
Our mid-term priorities are clear. We have several more launch opportunities that we expect to drive attractive growth, and we aim to complement these with further expansion of our pipeline.
Over the longer term, Ipsen will build on this momentum to deliver a more balanced and diversified portfolio of medicines across our three therapy areas. Our ambition is to achieve sustained growth through the end of the decade and beyond, supported both by our internal pipeline and by further acquisitions and in-licensing opportunities.

Striving for balance across our business
Achieving balance-between therapeutic areas as well as across geographies- is a key long-term goal of our dynamic growth phase
Today, our Oncology business accounts for 75% of total annual sales. Over the next three years, we aim to diversify our pipeline by investing in promising treatments in all three of our therapy areas: Oncology, Rare Disease and Neuroscience.
Pursuing growth opportunities in all regions
Balance is our ambition: not only across our therapy areas, but also across geographies.
We aim to achieve a balance between European, American and Rest of World markets.
In North America, we see strong growth potential and aim to leverage our growth through multiple potential launches. Meanwhile, we see ample opportunities in the Asia-Pacific and Latin America markets to increase our presence and the availability of our treatments.

Ipsen's growth strategy: accelerating innovation
For the past three years, we have strengthened our clinical development expertise across our three therapeutic areas. Our well-established expertise in small molecule and complex biologic development, our clinical know-how and our strong partnerships give us the rapid scale-up model we need to execute with precision and focus.
We continue to accelerate innovation through partnership by design to bring first- or best-in-class treatments to patients around the world. We are strengthening and expanding our pipeline at every stage of development to drive sustainable growth.
We recognize that the best innovation takes place in academia and biotechs. For this reason, we source our pipeline through external innovation. We choose partners who share our vision, culture and focus - going above and beyond to create a relationship that delivers shared success.
Our pipeline is constantly evolving and advancing. Bringing high-stakes innovation to patients is never simple, but we remain unfazed by challenges. With the experience, expertise and capability
to deliver continued R&D excellence, our 700 R&D employees and our external partners are progressing our pipeline of innovations to bring new treatments to patients.

Spotlight on our late-stage programs
Bylvay® (Phase III) is in late-stage development to treat biliary atresia, a rare pediatric liver disease. Already available for other indications in the U.S. and Europe, Bylvay® has the potential to improve patient well-being even further.
Dysport® is in two Phase III clinical studies: for managing chronic migraine, and for managing episodic migraine.
Elafibranor (Phase II) is an investigative second-line treatment for primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). Additionally, it is
in registration phase and under U.S. FDA priority review for primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a rare liver disease.
IPN10200 (Phase II), a long-acting neurotoxin, is under evaluation to treat glabellar lines and adult upper limb spasticity, and its potential will also be evaluated for other indications.
It has the potential to deliver better outcomes for patients with an increased duration of action leading to a potential reduction in injection frequency and enhanced tolerability.
Tazverik® (Phases II and III) is a first-in-class chemotherapy- free EZH2 inhibitor indicated for patients with
relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma (FL).
