Virus tests save Roche as drug sales slide
Virus tests are proving to be a saving grace for Roche. The Swiss pharmaceuticals giant saw drug sales slide in the first quarter. They were down 9% over the period. Revenues were hit as the global health crisis limited visits to hospitals and health centers. But it was a different story on virus testing. Sales at the firm's diagnostics division leapt by 55%. That almost offset the slump in shipments of drugs. Overall, Roche first-quarter sales dipped 1% to 14.9 billion swiss francs - or about 16.3 billion dollars. Last year Chief Executive Severin Schwan was confident that drug sales would soon normalise. But now he says the lingering crisis continues to have a negative impact. Even so, the company still expects current-year sales growth in the low- to mid-single-digit range. Core earnings are seen rising at a similar rate. Roche shares rose over 1.5% in early trade on Wednesday (April 21).
