The OTC segment reported good organic growth across all regions.

Australasia, the second largest OTC region, grew by 1% (5% CER) and the portfolio now exceeds the region’s Prescription segment and is well positioned for future revenue growth. Europe CIS enjoyed a 2% CER growth supported by a key hormonal cream brand, Ovestin.

Gross profit percentage of 58,3% was closely aligned with the prior period (FY2024: 58,7%).
