  • Servier reported Group revenues of €6.9 billion for 2024/25, up 16.2% from 2023/24.
  • Growth over the financial year was driven by increased sales in oncology, particularly in the United States.

SURESNES, France, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Servier, an independent international pharmaceutical group governed by a foundation, published its financial results for the 2024/25 financial year today and recapped the highlights that led to such significant growth.

Olivier Laureau, President of Servier, said: “The solid results from our 2024/25 financial year put us one important step closer to achieving our 2030 objectives. They validate the relevance of our differentiated innovation strategy to serve patients and the commitment of our employees. These results also underscore the success of the Group’s transformation, which began 10 years ago, involving significant investments in innovation and international expansion. Our long-term vision is made possible by the fact that we are governed by a foundation.”

In the 2024/25 financial year, Group revenue reached €6.9 billion, exceeding the €6 billion target. This 16.2% increase over the previous year reflects the Group’s growth momentum and ability to provide patients with an ever-increasing number of medicines.

Revenue growth resulted from a 16.9% increase in sales volume, or €1 billion, compared to 12.6% for FY 2023/24. There was also an unfavorable currency effect of 2.0%, equivalent to €118 million, (compared with an unfavorable impact of 3.5% in the previous year), as well as a positive price effect of 1.3%, equal to €76 million (compared with 1.7% for the 2023/24 financial year).

EBITDA[2] for the 2024/25 financial year amounted to €1.9 billion, corresponding to a 28.2% revenue margin compared to 22.2% in 2023/24. This increase was driven by significant growth in medicine sales during the financial year, particularly in oncology, combined with effective cost control across the Group. By 2023/24, the Group had already exceeded its 2024/25 target of achieving a 21.7% EBITDA margin.

Consistent with strategy, Servier remains confident in its ability to achieve global annual revenues of €10 billion by 2030 and an EBITDA margin of at least 30%.

Growth fueled by oncology performance in the United States

The 2024/25 financial year was highlighted by several advances in oncology and partnership agreements signed, reflecting the Group’s dedication to developing new therapeutic solutions for patients with rare cancers. In line with the Group’s strategy, oncology continues to grow and now accounts for 32.2% of Group revenue, compared with 24.2% in 2023/24. Oncology revenues amounted to €2.21 billion in 2024-25, an increase of 54.6%. This growth stems from a significant increase in oncology sales volume following the launch of Voranigo® in the United States.

Medicine sales in cardiometabolism and venous diseases underscore the Group’s historic, ongoing commitment in this area. As a result, sales rose by 1.8% to €2.968 billion, boosted by strong sales performance for Daflon® in venous diseases.

European Union revenues account for 40.5% of Group revenue and show a 9.2% increase over the previous financial year. The US subsidiary remained the Group’s leading operating unit, with revenues of €1.496 billion in 2024/25, compared with €879 million in 2023/24, reflecting growth of 70.3%. The US market generated 21.8% of Group revenue.

Pascal Lemaire, Executive Vice President Finance at Servier, said: “The Group’s 2024/25 financial year results mirror our successful international growth, particularly our oncology business in the United States. They reward the risks taken as part of our targeted strategy and our policy of investing in R&D in rare diseases in oncology and in neurology where there are unmet patient needs. Our results are also a testament to Servier’s decision to raise its growth targets for 2030, particularly to reach €10 billion in revenue.”

Targeted, collaborative R&D to enhance and strengthen the pipeline

In 2024/25, the innovation strategy focused on renewing and sustaining our research and development pipeline through both internal and external growth.

Incorporating AI (artificial intelligence) and data throughout the medicine development chain has now become part of Servier’s ambition to improve R&D productivity to serve patients. AI helps researchers navigate biological complexity and speed up the development of treatments for the right patient at the right time, particularly in rare diseases in oncology and neurology.

Targeted innovation driving growth in oncology

The 2024/25 financial year was once again noteworthy for several marketing authorizations in oncology around the world, bolstering the Group’s ability to develop new therapeutic solutions for rare forms of cancer with unmet medical needs, and get them to patients.

Following approvals in the United States, Australia, Japan, and Brazil, Voranigo® has now been approved in Europe, bringing the total number of countries to nearly 45. Used to treat patients with a rare form of brain cancer, Voranigo® is currently administered to more than 5,500 patients in the United States and around the world through early access programs. Alongside this, Tibsovo®, a targeted therapy in hematology, has been approved for marketing in Japan.

In addition, the Group has finalized three significant partnership agreements that demonstrate its focus on advancing targeted oncology therapies and the value creation potential of its R&D. The Group entered into a licensing agreement with Black Diamond Therapeutics to develop and commercialize a targeted therapy for solid tumors, including non-small cell lung cancer. Additionally, the acquisition of a precision therapy from Chinese biopharmaceutical company BioNova Pharmaceuticals Ltd also enabled the Group build on its leadership in acute leukemia. And finally, Servier joined forces with IDEAYA Biosciences to make Darovasertib available to patients. This is a potential treatment for uveal melanoma, which is a rare type of eye cancer.

Featuring in the Top 10 of the PatientView Survey[3] and obtaining the leading position in the oncology category are recognition of the Group’s unwavering dedication to patients and patient advocacy groups.

Aspiring to be a leading force in neurology

Building on its ongoing transformation, the Group aims to establish a leading neurology franchise by developing a robust pipeline in rare neurological diseases modeled on its oncology strategy. Servier is targeting three main types of neurological diseases associated with a genetic and/or immuno-inflammatory mechanism: refractory epilepsy, rare movement disorders, and neuromuscular diseases. Servier R&D is focused on small molecules that target messenger RNA, particularly antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), as well as pharmacological molecules and monoclonal antibodies. To date, the neurology pipeline comprises eight research projects and three projects in development.

Servier has initiated a Phase 1 clinical trial for a product to treat developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE) in children, a rare form of epilepsy that is resistant to conventional anticonvulsant drugs. In the field of DEE, the Group has also partnered with University College London to test ASOs from Servier in innovative cell models, called brain assembloids, which replicate key aspects of human brain development and function.

Leveraging the strength of its global resources, Servier also intends to become a partner of choice for innovative biotech companies in the development of new drugs that slow or halt the progression of rare neurological disorders and significantly improve patient quality of life.

Over the past year, the Group has therefore enriched its pipeline with the acquisition of a first asset in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) from biotech company Kaerus Bioscience Ltd. This asset is a potential treatment for Fragile X syndrome, the most common genetic cause of ASD, for which there are currently no treatment options.

Innovation continues with a focus on improving patient adherence to cardio-metabolic therapies

Servier maintains its position as the world’s leading pharmaceutical company in hypertension[4]. Cardiometabolism and venous diseases accounted for 43.3% of consolidated revenues in FY 2024/25, with performance driven by sales of Daflon® as well as growth in Single Pill Combinations (SPCs), which make it possible for patients with multiple and chronic conditions to take their various treatments in a single pill.

Several marketing authorization applications were submitted in many countries for an extended-release triple therapy in hypertension and its first quadruple therapy. These innovations are designed to address the issue of treatment non-adherence, a major health challenge for the nearly 50% of patients with chronic diseases who do not follow their prescribed treatment plans exactly[5], which also places a financial burden on health care systems. Among other initiatives, Servier partnered with 14 institutions to sponsor the first World Adherence Day.

Claude Bertrand, Executive Vice President Research and Development at Servier: “Our differentiated approach is paying off. Following major oncology launches in 2025 that consolidate our expertise in rare cancers, we are investing in rare neurological diseases while continuing our innovations in Single Pill Combinations (SPCs) in cardiometabolism. All our R&D projects are clinically grounded and focused on critical unmet medical needs, leveraging recent scientific and technological inflection points. They represent decisive and sustainable choices with one ultimate beneficiary: the patient.”

Last but not least, the creation of Servier’s venture capital fund — Servier Ventures — will also help further the Group’s R&D strategy by strengthening direct, early access to innovation in its target therapeutic areas and fueling the long-term pipeline. Through investment and support for innovative start-ups, this fund gives Servier the opportunity to position itself as a partner of choice within the biotech ecosystem, promoting the development of new and innovative medicines.

Nexdata Announces Completion and Full Operation of Its World-Class Embodied AI Data Collection Factory

SINGAPORE, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As embodied AI rapidly evolves from foundation models and software-based agents toward real-world intelligent robots, the industry is facing a critical bottleneck: the large-scale availability of high-quality, real physical interaction data. Addressing this challenge, Nexdata, a global leading provider of AI data solutions, today announced that its Embodied AI Data Factory has been fully constructed and officially put into operation.

Data Factory Video Link: https://youtu.be/NgNiuO3HgxI

The launch of the facility marks a major upgrade of Nexdata’s role in the embodied AI ecosystem—from a data service provider to a core infrastructure builder—enabling the standardized, large-scale production of real-world interaction data that supports the training and deployment of embodied AI models worldwide. The factory is designed to accelerate the transition of humanoid robots and embodied intelligent agents from laboratory validation to real-world commercial applications.

Spanning over 4,000 square meters, the Embodied AI Data Factory integrates highly realistic, configurable physical environments, including supermarkets, pharmacies, factories, automotive repair workshops, and other complex real-world scenarios. These environments systematically cover cross-industry application domains such as retail, healthcare, industrial automation, and smart cities. Combined with a multi-modal data acquisition system—capturing vision, motion, speech, force, tactile feedback, and heterogeneous sensor signals—the facility enables the continuous generation of fine-grained interaction data between robots, humans, and their environments, forming a critical data foundation for embodied large models.

A core strength of the facility lies in its hardware capabilities: it deploys 100+ multiple models of humanoid robots (Unitree, Franka, Leju, etc.) and 50+ multiple models robotic hands (Linker L20, 06 ,etc.), covering mainstream robot brands and types. This diverse fleet supports a wide range of tasks, including autonomous navigation, human-robot collaboration, complex dexterous manipulation, and more. The multi-robot and multi-manipulator configuration allows Nexdata to flexibly meet various embodied AI data collection requirements—such as single-arm/dual-arm operations, mobile manipulation, force-feedback interactions, and long-horizon tasks—significantly enhancing data diversity.

In the era of embodied intelligence, data is the fuel—yet high-quality real-world interaction data remains one of the most scarce and expensive resources in the industry. After years of sustained investment, Nexdata has established an industrial-scale embodied AI data factory with industry-leading coverage in both physical environments and robot diversity. More importantly, the facility operates a closed-loop pipeline encompassing data collection, annotation, quality control, and iterative optimization, achieving annotation accuracy exceeding 98% through multi-stage validation processes. This infrastructure directly addresses the long-standing “sim-to-real” challenge, enabling embodied AI systems to transfer more reliably from simulated environments to real-world deployment.

As a core component of Nexdata’s embodied AI data solutions portfolio, the factory is already supporting multiple top-tier international AI companies, including developers of humanoid robots, autonomous mobile robots, and embodied intelligent agents. The facility operates in strict compliance with international data security and privacy standards, including ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, GDPR, and CCPA, ensuring enterprise-grade data governance for global partners.

Looking ahead, Nexdata will continue to expand the factory’s capabilities by introducing next-generation robotic platforms, richer sensor modalities, and more complex task configurations. Through deeper collaboration with leading embodied AI enterprises and research organizations, Nexdata aims to help establish scalable data standards and an open, efficient embodied data ecosystem—powering the next phase of real-world embodied intelligence.

The Sanya EDITION Redefines Contemporary Chinese New Year Escapes for the Year of the Horse 2026

SANYA, China, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Set along the pristine coastline of Hainan, The Sanya EDITION draws inspiration from the vast ocean that surrounds it, striking a refined balance between natural serenity and contemporary energy. From the moment of arrival, the experience is designed to impress: guests pass through lush tropical gardens before arriving at a semi-open lobby, where layered teak wood pavillions, reflective water features and bamboo groves frame uninterrupted views of the South China Sea. A gentle sea breeze carries the signature scent of Le Labo black tea, while impeccably styled hosts move with an effortless rhythm, lending the space an atmosphere reminiscent of a modern runway set within a secluded island retreat.

 

The Sanya EDITION – Chinese New Year

Driven by a commitment to continual innovation, The Sanya EDITION continues to expand the boundaries of contemporary resort living, contributing to the evolution of Hainan’s and China’s wider vacation market. As one of the largest EDITION hotels worldwide, the property has, since 2019, pioneered large-scale festive seasons and New Year celebrations, later evolving into a comprehensive Chinese New Year program. From the opening of Hainan’s first natural grass tennis court to the debut of the island’s first acrylic tennis court certified with a two-star rating by the International Tennis Federation (ITF); from the early introduction of a destination-style Beach Club to the presentation of Sunset Moment fire dance performances—these first-of-their-kind initiatives continue to set benchmarks for modern luxury resort experiences. Many of these “firsts” found their origin at The Sanya EDITION.

Within these pioneering efforts, sports facilities have become an integral part of the resort’s lifestyle offering. Specially selected for Sanya’s tropical coastal climate, the natural grass tennis courts feature Platinum TE Paspalum grass, combining superior heat tolerance, ecological adaptability, and a fine, uniform texture to deliver a tournament-grade playing experience with elevated sensory refinement. The ITF two-star certified acrylic courts combine professional performance with a contemporary aesthetic, featuring a distinctive palette of pink and sky blue. Pink reflects vitality and innovation, while sky blue echoes the surrounding coastal landscape, allowing sport, design and resort living to seamlessly converge into The Sanya EDITION’s signature Sportcation experience. In addition to tennis, the resort also offers pickleball and padel courts, further enriching its multi-dimensional sports landscape. All courts are equipped with energy-efficient, high-brightness lighting systems, ensuring consistent playing conditions from day to night.

As the Year of the Horse Chinese New Year approaches in 2026, The Sanya EDITION presents a festive season that blends tradition and art, offering a contemporary interpretation of island celebrations. As night falls, a water projection show will unfold above the resort’s unique Private Ocean, where light and water intertwine to create a fully immersive visual experience. On Chinese New Year’s Eve, a luminous Lion Dance performance will take center stage, with glowing silhouettes moving to powerful drumbeats, symbolizing strength and renewal. On the first day of the Chinese New Year, traditional dragon and lion dances will bring vibrant energy to the resort, reimagined within a relaxed island setting.

Festivities continue with the dramatic molten iron fireworks show, as thousands of sparks cascade through the sky like falling stars, illuminating the water below. Drone show will animate the night sky with scenes of New Year blessings, while the “Realm of Light and Silhouettes” aerial performance features phoenix and winged horse soaring overhead—symbols of vitality, prosperity and good fortune for the Year of the Horse. Floating lanterns will drift gently across the water, adding a quiet moment to the celebrations.

Beyond visual spectacle, gastronomy forms a central part of the festive experience. The Sanya EDITION is home to five distinctive restaurants and two bars, led by a creative culinary team offering diverse, all-day dining concepts. The Jade Egret presents modern European cuisine paired with a curated selection of wines and classic cocktails, while Beach Barbacoa blends relaxed seaside dining with bold Indonesian flavors inspired by Jimbaran Bay. Market at EDITION takes inspiration from traditional Chinese warehouses, offering a dynamic mix of local and international cuisines across live cooking stations, including raw bar, bakery, open-fire grill and juice bar. The Sky Bar, perched at the top of the hotel, overlooks the South China Sea, serving as a tranquil poolside retreat by day and a vibrant social lounge by night. On Chinese New Year’s Eve, Xian Hai by the Sea will present a special reunion dinner, featuring a bespoke festive menu crafted from seasonal ingredients.

The Sanya EDITION - Chinese New Year
The Sanya EDITION – Chinese New Year

During the Chinese New Year period, Market at EDITION will offer a themed seafood hotpot dinner buffet from 13 to 23 February 2026, served daily from 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm. The Jade Egret will introduce a series of limited-time menus, including a Valentine’s Day Special Menu on 14 February, a Chinese New Year Special Menu from 16 to 17 February, and a guest chef collaboration from 18 to 19 February with Edorta Lamo, Michelin One Star and Michelin Green Star Chef of Arrea! Restaurant in Spain, presenting an authentic expression of Basque mountain terroir. The Sky Bar will offer both Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year themed afternoon teas, while Beach Barbacoa at EDITION will feature special menus for both festive occasions.

From illuminated night skies to shimmering waters, from cultural performances to refined culinary experiences, The Sanya EDITION redefines the Chinese New Year through the lens of contemporary resort living—where celebration meets restraint, and tradition unfolds through modern imagination.

ROHM’s New LDO Regulators with 500mA Output Current Achieve Stable Operation Even with Ultra-small Capacitors

KYOTO, Japan, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ROHM Co., Ltd. has developed the “BD9xxN5 Series” of LDO regulator ICs with 500mA output current, featuring its proprietary ultra-stable control technology “Nano Cap (TM).” This series is designed for 12V/24V primary power supply applications used in automotive equipment, industrial equipment, and communication infrastructure.

In recent years, electronic devices have demanded higher density in smaller form factors at the same time. To meet this demand and achieve space savings and design flexibility, power supply ICs must be capable of stable operation even with small-capacity capacitors.

To address this challenge, ROHM developed the “BD9xxN1 Series” LDO regulator (150mA output current) in 2022, incorporating its proprietary ultra-stable control technology, “Nano Cap (TM).” The newly developed BD9xxN5 Series builds on the success of the BD9xxN1 Series by increasing the output current to 500mA — more than three times higher than before — significantly broadening its suitability for applications requiring higher power.

In addition, very low output voltage ripple of approximately 250mV (with load current variation of 1mA to 500mA within 1 microsecond) is achieved with a small output capacitance of just 470nF (typical). This contributes to space saving as well as greater flexibility in component selection.

Building the Backbone of Smart PV Manufacturing: SKYWORTH Smart PV Industrial Park Reaches Structural Topping-Out Milestone

SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On January 26, 2026, the main structure of the SKYWORTH Smart Photovoltaic Industrial Park was officially topped out in Guangming District, Shenzhen, China. This milestone marks a significant step forward in SKYWORTH’s long-term strategy within the global renewable energy sector and underscores the company’s commitment to building a future-oriented photovoltaic industrial ecosystem.

Jointly developed by SKYWORTH PV and SKYWORTH Group Construction & Development, and constructed by China Construction Eighth Engineering Division, the project represents a deep integration of smart manufacturing, green technology, and large-scale industrial planning. It also reflects effective collaboration between enterprise and local government to accelerate the development of advanced manufacturing and sustainable industries.

From the beginning, SKYWORTH Smart PV Industrial Park was designed to go beyond the traditional concept of a manufacturing facility. With a total land area of 63,930.84 m² and a planned gross floor area of 318,266.02 m², the park includes four factory buildings and a multi-unit dormitory complex, forming a comprehensive and well-structured industrial space. This layout is intended to support technology research, intelligent production, and coordinated development across the photovoltaic value chain.

The topping-out of the main structure is more than a construction milestone—it represents the establishment of a solid physical foundation for SKYWORTH PV’s next stage of growth. As the park progresses toward completion, it will enable greater systemization and scale in R&D and manufacturing, providing the infrastructure needed to support continuous innovation, higher production efficiency, and long-term capacity expansion.

At the ceremony, Ms. Wanfei Qu, CIO of SKYWORTH Group, Director and CEO of SKYWORTH PV, outlined the strategic vision behind the project:

“SKYWORTH PV remains committed to the integrated development model of ‘PV + inclusive finance + digital technology.’ The topping-out of the industrial park marks a critical step toward scaled and intelligent development. In the future, this site will serve as a core hub for R&D and manufacturing, and we aim to develop it into a benchmark photovoltaic industrial park for Guangming District, Shenzhen, and the Greater Bay Area in China.”

Looking ahead, SKYWORTH Smart PV Industrial Park is positioned to become a central engine for the company’s innovation and manufacturing capabilities. By integrating R&D, production, and supporting facilities within one unified platform, the park will help strengthen supply-chain collaboration, accelerate product iteration, and enhance SKYWORTH PV’s ability to respond to global market demand.

Once fully completed and operational, the industrial park is expected to contribute meaningfully to regional industrial upgrading, support the development of high-quality renewable energy manufacturing, and reinforce SKYWORTH’s role in driving the global energy transition.
