Press Release Financial Results 23 February 2023

Said Darwazah, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hikma, said: 

“Hikma’s diversified business model has enabled our core underlying business to deliver a resilient performance in 2022.

Our Injectables and Branded businesses performed well, helping to partially offset the decline in Generics. In Injectables, we have leveraged our best-in-class manufacturing capabilities, flexibility and efficiency to serve our customers, while investing in R&D to strengthen an increasingly differentiated pipeline of products. In Branded, we have again grown market share, focusing on chronic disease areas, further cementing our position as one of the leading pharmaceutical companies in the MENA region. While our Generics business has been impacted by industry-wide competitive pressures, we have focused on controlling our costs, driving efficiencies and building our specialty portfolio, which will support the outlook for this business going forward.

Looking ahead, we are confident that we will deliver good growth across all three of our businesses in 2023 as we continue to expand our product portfolio and enhance our manufacturing and commercial footprint.”
