Manuel Llobet, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

“This year we have made significant progress towards becoming a global provider of allergy solutions. Following our successful placing to raise £20 million net in March we have resumed the clinical development programme for Pollinex Quattro Grass in the US. Pollinex Quattro Grass has the potential to be the first seasonal subcutaneous allergy vaccine to reach the US market, which would be a transformational event for the Company.

We also strengthened our European position, demonstrating double digit growth in a flat market and significantly outperforming our competition. The acquisition of Alerpharma in June enables the Company to continue to build a strong growth platform in Europe and to further open up the opportunity for an increase in market share in Spain. Growth in the European markets is expected to be relatively slow in the coming year but with the continued momentum across the Company’s activities, the outlook is very positive and we expect to increase our market share into the next year, delivering improved top-line growth. The Company will continue its plan to consolidate its position in the European markets, as well as progressing with the clinical development programme within the regulated framework in Germany (TAV).”
