ROVI strengthens its commitment to people who live with schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a complex chronic disorder is associated with significant functional impairment and high personal and social costs. Likewise it is compounded by a high rate of comorbidities, such as cardiovascular diseases, leading to isolation and a progressive worsening of the condition.

On 24 May, World Schizophrenia Day, we at ROVI would like to shine a spotlight on people, their wellbeing, and the importance of continuing to construct increasingly humane, accessible and recovery-oriented care.


A reality that requires attention

The latest data, gathered in the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021, provide a clear picture of the scale of the challenge: over 23.2 million people all over the world live with schizophrenia, representing around 0.3% of the global population. Global prevalence stands at 293.8 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, with 332.5 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in Spain. Beyond the figures, one of the main challenges in managing schizophrenia continues to be maintaining good treatment adherence, a key factor in reducing relapses and hospital readmissions that impair patients’ functioning and quality of life.

Our commitment: to support, research and improve

At ROVI, we maintain a sustained commitment to the research and development of innovative solutions in the mental health field. Our ISM® technology forms part of this effort and has led to developments that are already available in various markets.

At the same time, we continue to work on new formulations in research, with the aim of further expanding the options available in the future. This commitment involves continuing to research, collaborating with healthcare professionals, and always placing patients at the centre of our work.

ROVI presents its financial results for the first quarter of 2026

ROVI presents its financial results for the first quarter of 2026, a year in which the Company expects to resume a path of growth, supported by the key strategic decisions taken over recent years.

REVENUES

Total revenue stood at €154.7 million in the first quarter of 2026. ROVI booked operating revenue of 152.5 million euros, representing a 2% decrease on the first quarter of 2025 due to the behaviour of the heparin franchise. Notwithstanding, the contract manufacturing business (CDMO) recorded sales of 37.4 million euros, a 5% increase on the first quarter of 2025.

The sales of the specialty pharmaceutical business stood at €115.0 million in the first quarter of this year.

Sales of the low-molecular-weight heparin franchise dropped 13% to 58.9 million euros, due to a lower contribution from bemiparin, particularly in international sales, as a result of the high inventory levels held by partners.

Risperidone ISM stands out, with sales reaching 17.2 million euros, showing growth of 37% compared with the same quarter of 2025.

Solid performance of Neparvis®, with sales growing by 4% in the first quarter of this year.

Gross profit increased 5% to 95.0 million euros in the first quarter of 2026 compared with the first quarter of 2025, reflecting a 3.8 percentage point increase in the gross margin, which rose to 62.3%.

EBITDA stood at 20.3 million euros in the first quarter of 2026. This has led to a 6.3 percentage point reduction in the EBITDA margin to 13.3%. Net profit stood at 9.4 million euros.

R&D expenses rose 75% in the first quarter of 2026 compared with the same period of last year. This increase relates mainly to preparations for the phase III clinical trial of Letrozole SIE.

ROVI has updated its operating revenue guidance for 2026 . expecting them to continue to increase compared to 2025, although by a low- to mid-single-digit percentage. Factors taken into account for this revision include:

  • Firstly, lower revenue forecast for 2026 under the prefilled syringe manufacturing agreement entered into with a global pharmaceutical company on 25 April 2024. The adjustment to the guidance is due, among other factors, to a delay in the initially expected commencement of routine manufacturing operations, which is awaiting the relevant regulatory authorization, as well as increased uncertainty regarding anticipated demand, without prejudice to the minimum contractual obligations assumed by the two parties; and
  • Secondly, growing competitive pressure on pricing in the heparin franchise in the current context of increased regulatory and geopolitical uncertainty and greater volatility in supply and cost dynamics.

ROVI to receive 36.3 million euros for research into prolonged-release drugs and new sterile filling technologies

Laboratorios Farmacéuticos ROVI, S.A. (“ROVI”) announces that, on 7 May 2025, the Technological Development and Innovation Centre (CDTI) published the Proposed provisional resolution of the review committee on the call for proposals for grants for direct and associated participants in the Important Project of Common European Interest (Med4cure)[1], which approves the award of 36.3 million euros to ROVI to develop the R&D project IPCEI – ROVI (hereinafter, LAISOLID) within the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan financed through the European Union Recovery and Resilience Facility, within the scope of the IPCEI Med4Cure, the first Important Project of Common European Interest focusing on health. This financing falls within the framework of the Strategic Project for Economic Recovery and Transformation for Cutting-Edge Healthcare.

ROVI will allocate the entirety of the grant received to the LAISOLID project, with the objective of developing sterile filling technologies for complex polymeric matrices capable of containing cells and biological material in regenerative medicine therapies, as well as active ingredients whose structural characteristics must be preserved in order to ensure proper functionality and appropriate release characteristics in the development of long-acting injectables (LAIs) capable of releasing the active ingredient over several months. With these developments, the Company intends to provide technological solutions that can be applied in tissue regeneration and the development of pharmacological treatments that improve the efficacy of therapies for serious diseases, such as breast cancer.

The project submitted by ROVI likewise proposes a new approach to the development of medicines based on predictive models that will accelerate the development of new pharmacological treatments with improved efficacy through the development and validation of models that establish quantitative relationships between formulation parameters and their clinical efficacy. These developments are particularly addressed to therapeutic areas in which effective treatments are lacking, and it is essential to access and maintain adequate plasma levels to ensure clinical efficacy.

ROVI, as a participant associated to the IPCEI project Medi4Cure Health, will have the support of a number of collaborations with European entities in the development of LAISOLID. The total budget for this R&D Project is 80,521,957 euros and ROVI will receive a grant of 36,341,035.65 euros from the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities and the CDTI. This budget is in line with the forecast average annual R&D expense reported by ROVI at the Capital Markets Day on 25 March 2025, which was between 40 and 60 million euros for the next 6 years (2025-2030).

Juan López-Belmonte, ROVI’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said that, “With LAISOLID, we want to reinforce our commitment to healthcare innovation. We are confident that these new long-acting formulations will provide significant clinical improvements and help offer therapeutic solutions for the patients. This grant not only provides important financial impetus but also reinforces our position as a leader in innovation in our sector. Backed by our extensive experience in development new long-acting formulations, our work aims for this technology to allow a significant improvement in both the clinical efficiency and tolerability of the treatments. This European financing will be a key element in accelerating the evolution of our solutions and extending our scope through strategic collaborations with other leading companies in the European healthcare area.”
