(Page 11) - Immunoglobulin (IG) sales expected to remain steady in the long term, with short-term forecast on track. (Page 11) - Growth and launch products represent over 50% of total revenue, growing 6.7% at constant exchange rate year-to-date, an improvement over earlier quarters.

(Page 9 & 10) - New product launches (oveporexton, rusfertide, zasocitinib) anticipated to drive future growth but may require higher marketing investment initially. (Pages 6, 10 & 11) - Long-term outlook remains positive with new late-stage pipeline products and geographic commercial focus, particularly in the U.S. (Page 8 & 11)
