Such statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those anticipated herein. All of the above risks could affect the Group\u2019s future ability to achieve its financial targets, which were set assuming reasonable macroeconomic conditions based on the information available today. Use of the words “believes”, “anticipates” and “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, including the Group\u2019s expectations regarding future events, including regulatory filings and determinations. Moreover, the targets described in this document were prepared without taking into account external growth assumptions and potential future acquisitions, which may alter these parameters. These objectives are based on data and assumptions regarded as reasonable by the Group. These targets depend on conditions or facts likely to happen in the future, and not exclusively on historical data. Actual results may depart significantly from these targets given the occurrence of certain risks and uncertainties, notably the fact that a promising product in early development phase or clinical trial may end up never being launched on the market or reaching its commercial targets, notably for regulatory or competition reasons. The Group must face or might face competition from generic products that might translate into a loss of market share. Furthermore, the Research and Development process involves several stages each of which involves the substantial risk that the Group may fail to achieve its objectives and be forced to abandon its efforts with regards to a product in which it has invested significant sums. Therefore, the Group cannot be certain that favorable results obtained during pre-clinical trials will be confirmed subsequently during clinical trials, or that the results of clinical trials will be sufficient to demonstrate the safe and effective nature of the product concerned. There can be no guarantees a product will receive the necessary regulatory approvals or that the product will prove to be commercially successful. If underlying assumptions prove inaccurate or risks or uncertainties materialize, actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Other risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to, general industry conditions and competition; general economic factors, including interest rate and currency exchange rate fluctuations; the impact of pharmaceutical industry regulation and health care legislation; global trends toward health care cost containment; technological advances, new products and patents attained by competitors; challenges inherent in new product development, including obtaining regulatory approval; the Group’s ability to accurately predict future market conditions; manufacturing difficulties or delays; financial instability of international economies and sovereign risk; dependence on the effectiveness of the Group\u2019s patents and other protections for innovative products; and the exposure to litigation, including patent litigation, and\/or regulatory actions. The Group is dependent on prices set for drugs, pricing and reimbursement reforms and is vulnerable to the potential withdrawal of certain drugs from the list of reimbursable products by governments, and the relevant regulatory authorities in its locations. In light of the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, there could be increased pressure on the pharmaceutical industry to lower drug prices. The Group also depends on third parties to develop and market some of its products which could potentially generate substantial royalties; these partners could behave in such ways which could cause damage to the Group\u2019s activities and financial results. The Group cannot be certain that its partners will fulfil their obligations. It might be unable to obtain any benefit from those agreements. A default by any of the Group\u2019s partners could generate lower revenues than expected. Such situations could have a negative impact on the Group\u2019s business, financial position or performance. The Group expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements, targets or estimates contained in this press release to reflect any change in events, conditions, assumptions or circumstances on which any such statements are based, unless so required by applicable law. The Group\u2019s business is subject to the risk factors outlined in its registration documents filed with the French Autorit\u00e9 des March\u00e9s Financiers. The risks and uncertainties set out are not exhaustive and the reader is advised to refer to the Group\u2019s 2019 Universal Registration Document available on its website www.ipsen.com<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n \n__________________________ View source version on businesswire.com: <\/span>https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20201130006026\/en\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Financial Community Media KEYWORDS:<\/b> France Europe<\/p>\n INDUSTRY KEYWORDS:<\/b> Biotechnology Pharmaceutical Health Oncology<\/p>\n\n
