HIGHLIGHTS
H1 2025 BUSINESS PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Chiesi Group (“Chiesi” or the “Group”) today announced financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 (“H1 2025”). Revenues totaled € 1,86 billion, growing € 201 million (13.2% at CER) versus H1 2024, and EBITDA margin confirmed at around 30% reflecting strong sales growth and disciplined cost management.
Giuseppe Accogli, CEO of Chiesi Group commented on results: “H1 2025 marks another step forward on our journey to create significant shared value, in line with the Group’s mission and vision. Robust top-line growth, disciplined cost control and continuous investment in innovation position us well for the challenges and opportunities ahead.”
Strong performance across all business units and franchises – Air, Care and Rare. In particular, sales growth was led by the Rare Diseases business unit, which delivered an outstanding performance with double-digit growth (+31.4%).
The US and the emerging markets continue to grow at double-digit rates, confirming the global footprint the Group has built in recent years. In particular, the US market, propelled by the Rare Diseases business unit’s strong performance, realized +26% growth vs H1 2024 or €85 Million. Today the US represents almost 23% of Chiesi’s sales. The Group continued to expand in the EU market (+5%), powered by the Air franchise portfolio expansion, despite the additional impact of generic competition.
The Group’s net financial position remains solid. In H1 2025, Chiesi Group deployed capital bolstering innovation and growth initiatives and improving manufacturing resilience, creating value for patients and stakeholders while maintaining balance-sheet strength.
Chiesi continued to invest in R&D, with resources focused on pipeline development and on strategic partnerships and acquisitions aimed at delivering new solutions across the three main business areas.
The Group continued to invest significantly to strengthen its manufacturing capacity and resilience, for the benefit of patients. First-semester investments—primarily industrial—totaled € 170 million, entirely financed by cash generated from operations. The regeneration of the recently acquired Nerviano site accounted for 46% of total H1 2025 spending. The around € 400 million Biotech Center of Excellence in Parma is now fully operational, underscoring Chiesi’s commitment to strengthen European manufacturing and nurture scientific talent to global patient benefit.
These investments further advance Chiesi Group’s commitment to respiratory health, rare-disease treatment and primary care and support sustainable healthcare solutions aligned with the Group’s sustainability strategy and net-zero pathway.
OUTLOOK 2025
The Group sees an opportunity to beat its previously announced revenue growth guidance of mid-single digits for FY 2025, and expects to deliver a strong EBITDA margin for the year. While external headwinds—such as currency volatility and evolving trade policies—are expected to persist, Chiesi’s financial strength and solid capital position underpin resilience and continued investment in long-term growth.
Giuseppe Accogli also said: “Chiesi Group’s long-term sustainable growth strategy is delivering. We reaffirm 2025 guidance and remain confident about the road ahead. Our leadership team—now reinforced by the recent arrival of CFO Jean-Marc Bellemin—continues to execute with discipline. Above all, we can count on the passion and dedication of our people across Chiesi. Their commitment makes me optimistic about what we can achieve today and in the future.”
