- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors, with confirmation of the continued support of SAS, have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The European Commission initiated a formal investigation into The Group for alleged breaches of the rules set out in the Treaty on Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) proscribing anticompetitive business conduct and abuse of a dominant position. The European Commission's investigation targeted perindopril and perindopril generics.”
- “On June 27, 2024, the CJEU confirmed the GC's findings and sanctions against Servier (€228 million); the CJEU also decided that the CJEU wrongly annulled the abuse of dominant position on the perindopril market, and found that some agreements between Servier and Krka were anti-competitive; however, regarding both the potential abuse of dominant position and the potential illegality of an agreement with Krka, the CJEU was unable to take a final position and sent back the matter to the GC. A judgement by the GC is expected by the end of 2026.”
- “On 3 January 2025, the Claimants health authorities of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland served a consolidated particulars of claim, which updated the quantum of damages claims, abandoned claims for compound interest, and updated claims for simple interest.”
