HIGHLIGHTS OF THE FIRST QUARTER
The activity of the first quarter of 2015 is increasing by 8.4% (+6.9% at constant exchange rates) compared to the activity of the first quarter of 2014 (which was strongly impacted by the lack of winter pathology). This increase relates mainly to sales in France, USA and Romania. On the other hand, sales in Russia were down.
BOIRON will continue its involvement in the development of homeopathy with confidence and ambition. Taking into account the geopolitical risks, the BOIRON group remains cautious in its outlook for 2015.
