The profitability has improved due in particular to the price increase of certain non proprietary medicines in France and the control of operating costs.
On December 31, 2012, the cash position amounted € 94.7 million given the lower amount of net investments compared to 2011 and the buyback of Boiron shares from Pierre Fabre SA for an amount of € 51.0 million.
The Board of Directors will propose to the Combined Shareholders Meeting the distribution of a dividend of € 0.90 per share. The payment of the dividend will be June 5, 2013.
In the first quarter of 2013, the business is expected to grow significantly due to the high level of winter pathology.
In 2013, Boiron targets a new increase of its turnover and profitability.
