We remain focused on the successful execution of the palovarotene program to bring the first therapeutic treatment to FOP patients as expeditiously as possible. We also continue to deliver on our external innovation strategy. The recent in-licensing of BLU-782 reinforces our leadership in FOP with a different and potentially complementary mechanism of action to palovarotene, expands our portfolio approach in this complex ultra-rare bone disorder and leverages our clinical and commercial capabilities. Advancing our pipeline remains a key focus going forward to deliver on our growth strategy and to bring additional value to patients and shareholders.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Sales of\u00a0Specialty Care<\/b>\u00a0products reached \u20ac574.2 million, up 16.5% year-on-year.
Somatuline<\/b>\u00a0sales reached \u20ac264.0 million, up 18.8%, year-on-year, driven by 20.0% growth in North America, double-digit growth in key European countries and good performance in Japan.
Decapeptyl<\/b>\u00a0sales reached \u20ac98.9 million, up 10.5% year-on-year, driven by volume and market share gains in Europe and double-digit growth in China.
Cabometyx\u00a0<\/b>sales reached \u20ac64.5 million, growing 66.3% year-on-year, driven by the good performance in all launched European countries and additional launches in Asia and Oceania.\u00a0<\/b>
Onivyde<\/b>\u00a0sales reached \u20ac26.1 million, down 7.3% year-on-year, impacted by limited shipments to Ipsen\u2019s ex-U.S. partner in the third quarter.
Dysport<\/b>\u00a0sales reached \u20ac97.4 million, up 8.8% year-on-year, driven by the solid performance in the U.S. in the therapeutics and aesthetics markets, as well as growth from Galderma in Europe.
Consumer Healthcare\u00a0<\/b>product sales totaled \u20ac70.6 million, stable at +0.1%1<\/sup>, driven by Smecta growth of 2.5% year-on-year, from the good performance in France and in China despite the new hospital competitive pricing environment, and Forlax growth of 9.7% year-on-year. Tanakan sales reached \u20ac8.8 million, down 10.0% year-on-year, due to competitive pressure in emerging countries and a market slowdown in France.<\/p>\n\n
