Canada, this was primarily driven by earlier than
expected decline in demand for the product following
generic market entry, as well as by wholesalers
reducing inventory levels to a greater extent than
expected across the country. In addition, the brand
has experienced the continued price and volume
pressure from post–volume-based procurement (VBP)
in China, which remained stable compared with the
second quarter, along with ongoing generic erosion in
Brazil. The year-over-year revenue development
reflects the transfer of U.S. sales operations to Takeda,
effective 1 January 2025 as well as the Medicare Part D
redesign impacts. The revenue distribution by region
was 28%, 43% and 29% in the U.S., Europe and
International Operations, respectively. The largest
markets for this product are the U.S., Spain, Canada,
Italy and Japan.

in August as Lundbeck continue to source patients
from oral aripiprazole, other oral antipsychotics, LAIs
other than Abilify Maintena
®

Abilify LAI franchise grew in Europe, driven by
continued market share gains following the launch of

®

market share), France (32% LAI market share) and Italy
(42% LAI market share), underpinning the brand’s

quarter of 2025 in these countries. International
Operations reported continued demand growth of
Abilify Maintena

Cipralex
®
/Lexapro
®
(escitalopram) revenue reached
DKK 1,573 million and remained unchanged at CER

continued generic erosion, particularly in Japan,

distribution was 68% and 32% in International
Operations and Europe, respectively, with China,
South Korea and Brazil as the largest markets.
Revenue from Other pharmaceuticals, which
comprises the remainder of Lundbeck’s products,
reached DKK 2,320 million representing a decline of
-5% CER (-6% DKK). The decrease reflects the
expected generic erosion of mature products such as
Northera
®
, Xenazine
®
and Deanxit
®
. This is offset by the
strong performance of Sabril
®
in the U.S. The largest
markets for Other pharmaceuticals are the U.S.,
