AI Meets Audit Powerhouse: Qualifyze Launches Quality Insights Platform to Help Global Pharma Manage Supplier Site Risk
FRANKFURT, Germany, May 29, 2025 /CNW/ -- Qualifyze, already the global leader in third-party audit services for the pharmaceutical industry, announces the launch of Quality Insights Platform, an AI-powered platform that transforms the world's largest pharmaceutical audit database into a strategic risk management tool. Supply Chains on the Brink: Why Pharma Can't Afford to Wait Ensuring timely availability of medicines has become one of the toughest challenges in pharma today. While current tariffs on US imports have spared the pharma sector for now, ripple effects across the global economy are here to stay and are intensifying cost pressure. Furthermore, the tightening of regulatory frameworks, growing geopolitical tensions, and climate-related disruptions make the need for agile, proactive site risk management undeniable. Quality, Regulatory, and Procurement teams are under immense pressure. Juggling supplier data from multiple sources, many still rely on manual processes. This reactive approach leads to costly quality incidents, regulatory setbacks, and reputational risk—not to mention the operational stress for all involved. Introducing Quality Insights Platform: A Smarter Way to Manage Site Risk Enter Quality Insights Platform: an AI-powered co-pilot for quality and procurement professionals. Built on Qualifyze proprietary data from over 4,500 audits, complemented by information from regulator bodies, the platform delivers actionable intelligence. It flags quality risks before they materialize and supports faster supplier qualification, thereby strengthening supply chain resilience. "This is not just another AI tool. Quality Insights adds a layer of accuracy, since it is trained on our proprietary Pharma audits database, the largest worldwide," said Dr. Schneider, CEO of Qualifyze. "With this solution, we deliver at least a 65% reduction in time and costs for new supplier qualification and proactive quality site risk management." Almirall was one of several companies involved in the development of Quality Insights Platform. "The platform is intuitive to navigate, with detailed and objective information. Having a common ground of easy to share data for sourcing discussions with Procurement is a real advantage," said Miquel Romero, Quality Assurance Senior Director at Almirall. Quality Insights Platform is available via a subscription model and requires no IT system setup.

EBITDA increase of 35.0% YoY in line with expectations to a total of €70.9 MM driven by continued strong operational execution including out-licensing income realized in Q1 2025. Performance was driven by the biologics portfolio, with Ilumetri® showing 12.7% increase in sales vs Q1 2024 (total of €55.1 MM), and Ebglyss® delivering €19.4 MM quarterly sales - mainly achieved by the continued positive launch dynamics in Germany and growing contributions from recent launched countries. The broad dermatology product portfolio continues its sustained growth including performance in line with expectations of key products Wynzora® (22.2%, total of €7.7 MM) and Klisyri® (25.5%, total of €6.9 MM), further driving relevance of Almirall with patients and HCPs in Europe and other regions. Guidance for the full year confirmed based on the strong performance in Q1 2025, and scrip dividend of €0.19 per share approved by the AGM on 9th May 2025. BARCELONA, Spain, May 12, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Almirall, S.A. (ALM) a global pharmaceutical company based in Barcelona, today announced its financial results from the first quarter 2025. Almirall continued to deliver strong sales growth in the first quarter of the year - in line with expectations and with the longer-term growth trajectory set out by the company. Almirall's performance continues to be driven by its dermatology business in Europe, and by delivering advanced therapies and a broad portfolio of relevant and impactful products to more patients across markets. Net Sales increased by 15% YoY to a total of €284.6 MM, EBITDA was €70.9 MM (increase of 35% YoY) driven by higher sales growth and recent out-licensing activities that also positively impacted that gross margin (66.9%). Dermatology sales in Europe increased by 23.4% to a total of €139.4 MM in Q1 2025. The growth of Ebglyss® (lebrikizumab for the systemic treatment of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis) continues to further gain momentum delivering total Net Sales of €19.4 MM mainly based on the growth in its first launch market Germany and supported by growing contributions from recent launched countries. Including the launches in Q1 2025, Ebglyss is now available in 13 markets (Germany, Norway, UK, Spain, Denmark, Czechia, The Netherlands, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Sweden, Switzerland, and France in Q1) and the launch plans are on track with availability in all countries per plan expected to be achieved by end of 2025 (Portugal, Ireland, and Poland). Ilumetri® (tildrakizumab for the systemic treatment of moderate-to-severe psoriasis) delivered double digit growth in Q1 2025 (12.7% increase YoY) and delivered solid Net Sales of €55.1 MM despite growing competition in the psoriasis market and some quarterly phasing impacts. Anti-IL-23 antibodies remain the leading class in advanced psoriasis treatments now and in the foreseeable future. The biologics growth drivers were complemented by the strong performance of the broad portfolio of dermatology products leading to the dermatology portfolio overall growing 23.4% YoY in Q1 2025 in Europe to a total of €139.4 MM. Almirall's key products Wynzora® (psoriasis), and Klisyri® (actinic keratosis) grew double-digit in sales in Q1 2025 YoY. Wynzora® continued to grow in its main markets and delivered total Net Sales of €7.7 MM representing a 22.2% increase vs Q1 2024. The strong double-digit growth performance of Klisyri® in Q1 2025 (€6.9 MM +25.5% YoY) is aligned with expectations of its increasing market share in key regions and was further supported by the US large field launch following the approval of the label extension by the FDA in 2024. The overall performance in Q1 was supported by the strategic out-licensing and divestment of two products in the Spanish market in January 2025 (Sekisan and Algidol). "We started the year with a continued strong business performance that is aligned with the long-term trajectory of sustained growth we have outlined for Almirall. Therefore, we are pleased to confirm our full year guidance for 2025 as we are delivering relevant and impactful treatments to more patients and physicians in medical dermatology. Our strong results across are driven by our advanced biologic treatments for patients with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, and the consistent growth of our broader dermatology portfolio. Almirall is well positioned as European leader in medical dermatology, and we continue to invest to progress our early and late-stage pipeline, and to drive our commercial excellence to deliver sustained growth in the years to come."
