Umsätze
Valneva’s total revenues were €69.8 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to €58.8 million in the first nine months of 2020.
Product sales slightly declined by 0.9% to €45.5 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to €45.9 million in the first nine months of 2020 as the travel industry continued to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. On a constant exchange rate (CER) basis, product sales increased by 1.8% in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the first nine months of 2020.
IXIARO®/JESPECT® sales increased by 9.5% (14.9% at CER) to €33.7 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to €30.8 million in the first nine months of 2020 as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the vaccine sales was mitigated by sales to the U.S. Government’s Department of Defense (DoD) during the period.

Third Party product sales grew by almost 500% to €11.2 million in the first nine months of 2021 from €1.9 million in the first nine months of 2020.

Other Revenues, including revenues from collaborations, licensing and services, amounted to €24.4 million in the first nine months of 2021 compared to €13.0 million in the first nine months of 2020. This increase was attributable to higher revenues related to the Lyme R&D collaboration agreement with Pfizer, incremental revenues related to the collaboration with Instituto Butantan for providing VLA1553 in LMICs as well as higher revenues generated in the CTM Manufacturing unit in Sweden.
