For the 2025 outlook, sales growth is now expected to be 13-21% at CER, and operating profit growth is now expected to be 16-24% at CER. Sales and operating profit growth reported in Danish kroner is now expected to be 3 and 5 percentage points lower than at CER, respectively. The updated sales outlook reflects lower-than-planned penetration of branded GLP-1 treatments in the US, impacted by compounded GLP-1s. Novo Nordisk is focused on preventing unlawful compounding and further expanding access in the US. With around 1 billion people living with obesity globally and only few million on treatment, Novo Nordisk continues the global roll-out of Wegovy®.
