Press Releases Ypsomed Group

Burgdorf – Ypsomed (SWX: YPSN) increased its consolidated sales by CHF 9.4 million to CHF 403.7 million in the financial year 2020/21 (prior year: CHF 394.3 million). The two business segments developed differently during the Corona pandemic: while the business with pens and autoinjectors was encouraging, the sales of insulin pumps remained at a low level. Ypsomed has set an important course in the financial year 2020/21 to improve the sales opportunities for YpsoPump. The increased importance of self-treatment of chronic diseases has reinforced the company’s growth strategy. Ypsomed has therefore advanced all strategic initiatives and further improved its own competitive position. The company invested a total of CHF 142.7 million for this purpose while at the same time creating 110 new jobs. To expand financial flexibility for the future, the Board of Directors will propose an authorised increase in capital at the Annual General Meeting.
