Matthieu Frechin, CEO of Vetoquinol, said:

« In a still uncertain sanitary environment, our business grew by 21.9%, outperforming the market in all our geographical areas. At the heart of our strategy, sales of Essential products increased by 34% on a reported basis. Their development was perfectly balanced between organic growth (+17%), which demonstrates our ability to develop the market share of our existing brands, and external growth with the contribution of the Drontal® and Profender® brands (+17%) acquired in 2020. This momentum illustrates the soundness of our hybrid growth strategy based on the development of our Essentials portfolio and targeted external growth operations; we are confident in the future and in the profitable growth prospects of our laboratory »

At the end of December 2021, sales of Essential products amounted to €296 million, up 33.3% at constant exchange rates.

Sales of companion animal products amounted to €335 million and represented 64% of total Vetoquinol sales.
