UNITED LAB (03933) has announced that the group expects to achieve a profit of approximately 2 billion yuan in 2025, compared to a profit of about 2.658 billion yuan in 2024. The decrease in profit is primarily due to a decline in market prices for intermediate products and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) during the year. This has led to a reduction in segment profit for both intermediate products and APIs, falling by roughly 1.6 billion yuan and 400 million yuan respectively compared to 2024. However, the profit from the formulated products segment saw a significant increase of about 1.4 billion yuan. This improvement was largely driven by licensing fee revenue of approximately 1.3 billion yuan from Novo Nordisk A/S, which partially offset the profit decline in the intermediate and API segments.
