Stallergenes: Q2 2008 Sales up 18% Revision Upwards of 2008 Sa...(ed sales for the first half-year increas...)

Date:7/10/2008

ed sales for the first half-year increased by 16% compared to the first half 2007, when growth was already particularly strong (+ 17%). This good performance has enabled the Group to revise its sales growth guidance upwards to growth of at least 12% in 2008 (vs (greater than or equal to)10% previously), boosted by the growing success of the sublingual route, in which Stallergenes continues to strengthen its leadership.

The commercial launch of ORALAIR(R) Grasses for adults will take place in Germany in the next few weeks, following the grant, on 24 June 2008, of the marketing authorisation. The request for a paediatric extension of ORALAIR(R) Grasses has been filed with the Paul Ehrlich Institute. The application for clinical studies for ORALAIR(R) Grasses in the US will be filed in July.

The 2008 first half-year financial results will benefit from a strong level of activity and will show a marked improvement compared to 2007. These results will be released on 27 August 2008.
