Novo Nordisk raises sales and operating profit outlook for 2023
Bagsværd, Denmark, 13 April 2023 – Novo Nordisk today announced the sales and operating profit growth at constant exchange rates (CER) for the first three months of 2023 and that the full-year sales and operating profit outlook at CER has been raised.
In the first three months of 2023, Novo Nordisk’s sales increased by 25% and operating profit increased by 28%, both at CER. Wholesaler inventory movements in the US positively impacted sales growth.
Profit and loss (CER) | First three months 2023 |
Sales growth | 25% |
Operating profit growth | 28% |
The sales outlook for 2023 is raised, primarily reflecting Wegovy® prescription trends in the first quarter and higher full-year expectations for sales of Wegovy® in the US. Furthermore, a second contract manufacturer is now ready to begin production, thereby increasing Wegovy® supply capacity.
The updated sales outlook also reflects higher full-year expectations for Ozempic® sales, mainly in the US, following accelerated volume growth of the GLP-1 class.
Outlook 2023 (CER) | Expectations 2 February | Expectations 13 April |
Sales growth | 13-19% | 24-30% |
Operating profit growth | 13-19% | 28-34% |
Novo Nordisk’s full disclosure of the financial results for the first three months of 2023 will be published on 4 May 2023.
