Fresenius, the Pharma Titan, Battles Trump's Tariffs - A Battle Worth Fighting!
- 🎉🎉
Fresenius broadens operations in a bid to dodge Trump's import taxes - Fresenius is escalating its efforts, successfully evading Trump's import duties
In the world of pharmaceuticals, Fresenius is more than just a name - it's a giant shaking up the healthcare industry. The company, led by CEO Michael Sen, is giving the U.S. government a run for its money, trying to dodge potential tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.
Sen isn't shying away from a fight. The U.S. administration has so far kept pharmaceutical imports out of its tariff witch-hunt, but a thorough review is now underway. Sen's all guns blazing, ready to plead Fresenius's case as an affordable and essential contributor to the American healthcare system.
Fresenius is a household name for its generic drugs, produced predominantly in the U.S., and it swoops in when there's a shortage in the American pharmaceutical market. In essence, Fresenius is the Hulk of the generic drug game - strong as an ox, ready to smash supply chain disruptions!
The U.S. market is a goldmine, and Fresenius refuses to back down. The country brings in around 10% of the company's revenue through its subsidiary Kabi. And here's a fun fact: 70% of the drugs Fresenius sells in the U.S. are produced domestically, making it less susceptible to import tariffs compared to other foreign pharmaceutical players.
First Quarter, First Win!
The first quarter of 2025 was a triumph for Fresenius. After accounting for one-time issues, revenue rose a whopping 7% year-on-year to an impressive 5.63 billion euros. EBIT increased 4% to 654 million euros, and net income surged 12% to 416 million euros - yes, you read that right! Cost-cutting measures and growth in Kabi's drug, clinical nutrition, and medical technology sectors all played their part in this winning streak.
Fresenius has its sights set on a 4-6% revenue increase by 2025, excluding anomalies and currency effects. They know the risks, like unfavorable tariffs, but they're rolling with the punches and carrying on.
