CSL Reports Positive ANDEMBRY Pediatric Trial Results With Plans for Expanded Indication Filing CSL reported positive top-line Phase 3b results for ANDEMBRY (garadacimab-gxii) in children aged 2 to 11 with hereditary angioedema and plans to file for an expanded pediatric indication in the first half of its fiscal year.
The outcome supports CSL’s effort to extend ANDEMBRY beyond adult use, which could widen the addressable patient group if regulators approve the new pediatric label once filings are submitted and reviewed.
CSL shares last closed at A$116.39, with the stock down 32.3% year to date.
The read-through is that progress with ANDEMBRY in pediatric hereditary angioedema gives CSL another late-stage asset advancing through its pipeline, while regulatory and commercial execution around any expanded label will remain a key risk to watch. Annonce • Jul 28
Csl Reports Positive Top-Line Phase 3B Results Supporting Planned Expanded Pediatric Filing for Andembry in Children with Hereditary Angioedema CSL announced positive top-line Phase 3b results evaluating ANDEMBRY (garadacimab-gxii) in children aged 2 to 11 years with hereditary angioedema (HAE). ANDEMBRY is approved in over 40 countries for the prevention of HAE attacks in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older. In this multicenter, open-label Phase 3b study evaluating ANDEMBRY in people living with HAE aged 2 to 11 years, ANDEMBRY demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile consistent with previous studies. Treatment response was observed across the study population, with the majority of participants remaining attack-free during the 12-month treatment period. Participants aged 6 to 11 years (n = 16) received 100 mg of ANDEMBRY once monthly, while participants aged 2 to 5 years (n = 6) received 100 mg of ANDEMBRY every two months. ANDEMBRY is a monoclonal antibody that targets factor XIIa, a plasma protein that plays a key role in attacks of swelling in people with HAE. By acting at the top of the HAE cascade, ANDEMBRY prevents attacks and represents a novel long-term prophylactic strategy. CSL plans to begin submitting filings to health authorities in the first half of the company's fiscal year to support an expanded pediatric indication for ANDEMBRY in children aged 2 to 11 years. Full study results will be presented at an upcoming scientific congress and submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. ANDEMBRY is a novel monoclonal antibody inhibiting factor XIIa (anti-FXIIa mAb) that has completed the Phase 3 pivotal study as a once-monthly subcutaneous prophylactic treatment for attacks related to HAE, a form of bradykinin-mediated angioedema. It was discovered and optimized by scientists at CSL's Bio21-based research site, with formulation and manufacturing for the clinical programs completed at the CSL Broadmeadows Biotech Manufacturing Facility. ANDEMBRY uniquely inhibits the plasma protein, FXIIa. FXII is the first protein activated in the HAE pathway, initiating the inflammatory bradykinin-producing kallikrein-kinin system. By targeting activated FXII (FXIIa), ANDEMBRY inhibits this cascade at the top as compared to other HAE therapies that target downstream mediators. The most common side effects of ANDEMBRY include redness, itchiness, and bruising (injection-site reactions), stomach (abdominal) pain, and runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, watery eyes (nasopharyngitis). ANDEMBRY (garadacimab-gxii) injection, for subcutaneous use, is a prescription medication used to prevent attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in people 12 years and older. It is not known if ANDEMBRY is safe and effective in children under 12 years of age. Use ANDEMBRY exactly as instructed by your healthcare provider. Detailed instructions for use can be found in the patient information section of the full prescribing information. Actualités en direct • Jul 02
CSL Launches Major Restructuring With Seqirus Spin-Off and CEO Search Following Profit Warnings CSL is carrying out a major restructuring that includes spinning off its Seqirus vaccines arm, reducing its workforce, launching a share buyback and beginning a search for a new CEO to replace interim leadership after a period of profit warnings, downgraded FY2026 guidance and impairments.
The overhaul follows pressure on several parts of the business, including the Seqirus influenza vaccine unit, softer demand for Chinese albumin and uncertainty around plasma collection economics and CSL Vifor treatments, with TAVNEOS also facing a potential loss of up to $145 million in FY26 sales if its EU authorisation is revoked.
CSL shares trade at A$118.37, with the stock down 31.2% year to date, keeping investor focus on execution of the spin-off, cost cuts and leadership transition.
The central question now is how effectively CSL turns this restructuring into a simpler, more efficient business while containing product and regulatory risks, since outcomes here are likely to shape earnings quality and market confidence over the next few years. Actualités en direct • Jun 22
CSL Restructures with Workforce Cuts Buyback and Demerger Delay After Tough Year CSL has announced major restructuring measures in 2025, including workforce reductions, a share buyback program and a delay to the planned demerger of its CSL Seqirus unit, alongside earlier guidance cuts that have split investor opinion on the stock.
These steps indicate CSL is actively reshaping its cost base and capital allocation while reconsidering how and when to separate its vaccine business, which could affect future operating flexibility, reported earnings mix and how the market values its different segments.
CSL shares trade around A$112.88, with the stock down 34.4% year to date, reflecting pressure on sentiment despite the company’s record of revenue growth, profit generation and dividends.
The combination of restructuring, buybacks and a paused demerger leaves investors weighing near-term execution and integration risks against the company’s established earnings profile and exposure to global healthcare spending. Major Estimate Revision • Jun 19

CSL Faces Reset With Lower Outlook US$5 Billion Impairments and Cost Savings Drive CSL has cut its FY26 revenue outlook to about US$15.2b, citing US immunoglobulin inventory normalization and weaker albumin pricing in China alongside broader regional pricing pressure.
The company expects roughly US$5b of additional non-cash impairments across FY26 and FY27, largely tied to the CSL Vifor acquisition, which it now regards as a capital allocation error.
Management has outlined a transformation program targeting annual cost savings of US$500m to US$550m by FY28 while continuing to invest in plasma collection and manufacturing capacity, set against a backdrop of leadership change and a global CEO search.
The combination of downgraded guidance, sizeable impairments and leadership transition points to a period of reset for CSL as it reassesses the value of past acquisitions and its cost base.
For investors, key watchpoints are how quickly the cost-cutting program translates into margin support and whether upcoming full-year results and dividends provide clarity on the sustainability of earnings under the revised outlook. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Jun 11

CSL Shares Fall to Decade Lows as Leadership Shifts and Privigen Receives European Approval CSL shares have fallen to decade lows after profit warnings, a downgraded FY26 outlook and asset impairments of about US$5b tied largely to the underperforming CSL Vifor acquisition.
Interim CEO Gordon Naylor has launched a transformation plan targeting US$500 to 550m in annual cost savings by FY28 to support profitability and operational efficiency.
The European Commission has granted marketing authorization for CSL’s immunoglobulin therapy Privigen for measles prophylaxis when vaccination is not advised, expanding the company’s regulatory footprint in Europe.
The mix of sizeable impairments, operational headwinds and leadership changes points to a period of reset for CSL, while the cost program and new Privigen approval highlight management’s focus on refocusing the business and leveraging its core plasma and immunoglobulin portfolio.
When you assess the stock, it is worth weighing the execution risk around the transformation plan and Vifor turnaround against the potential benefits of cost savings and incremental revenue opportunities from approvals like Privigen in Europe. Upcoming Dividend • Mar 03

Having a high level of debt increases the company's balance sheet risk. The company has a higher interest repayment burden, leading to the need to allocate a greater amount of its earnings towards servicing the debt, potentially limiting growth options or shareholder distributions. It can also increase the risk of bankruptcy if business conditions deteriorate enough that the company can no longer meet its debt obligations. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks High level of debt (49% net debt to equity). Dividend is not well covered by earnings (101% payout ratio).

CSL Announces Five-Year (60-Month) Results from the Pivotal Phase 3 Hope-B Study CSL announced five-year (60-month) results from the pivotal Phase 3 HOPE-B study, confirming the long-term Durability and safety of a one-time infusion of HEMGENIX®? (etranacogene dezaparvovec-drlb) in adults living with hemophilia B. Published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) and presented simultaneously at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting, the data reaffirm HEMGENIX's consistent performance over time to deliver durable factor IX activity levels, sustained bleed protection compared to prophylaxis treatment, and continued freedom from routine prophylaxis. HEMGENIX remains the only commercially available gene therapy for adults with hemophilia B and can be used in patients with or without AAV5 neutralizing antibodies. In the Phase 3, open-label, single-dose, single-arm HOPE-B trial, 54 adult male participants with severe or moderately severe hemophilia B, with or without preexisting AAV5 neutralizing antibodies, were infused with a single dose of HEMGENIX. Of the 54 participants, 50 completed five years of follow-up. The five-year follow-up analysis demonstrated: Durable Factor IX Activity: Mean factor IX activity levels were sustained at greater than 36% during years one through five post-infusion: mean factor IX activity levels of 41.5 IU/dL (n=50) at year one, 36.7 IU/dL (n= 50) at year two, 38.6 IU/dL (n=48) at year three, 37.4 IU/dL (n=47) at year four, and 36.1 IU/dL (n= 48) at year five. Sustained Bleed Protection: The mean adjusted annualized bleeding rate (ABR) for all bleeds was reduced by approximately 90% from the lead-in (4.16, n=54) compared to year five (0.40, n=51) post-infusion. Additionally, joint bleeds were reduced by 93% from lead-in (mean ABR of 2.34 at lead-in to 0.16 at year five) and spontaneous bleeds were reduced by 94% (mean ABR of 1.52 during lead-in versus 0.09 during year five). Freedom from Prophylaxis: 94% of patients remained free of continuous prophylaxis treatment following their one-time gene therapy infusion. This rate has remained consistent over time, with only one participant resuming continuous factor IX prophylaxis at month 30 post-infusion. Favorable Safety Profile: No serious adverse events were related to treatment with HEMGENIX. HEMGENIX was generally well-tolerated, with a total of 100 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), most of which occurred in the first four months post-infusion. Only five TRAEs were reported between years four and five. The most common adverse events were reported between years four and 5. The most common adverse events was reported between years four and five". Board Change • Nov 01

Health Canada Authorized CSL's Andembry (Garadacimab) as Once-Monthly Treatment for Hereditary Angioedema (Hae) CSL announced that Health Canada has granted a marketing authorization for ANDEMBRY (garadacimab) for routine prevention of attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE) in adult and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older. ANDEMBRY is a monoclonal antibody designed to target activated FXII (FXIIa), a plasma protein at the top of the HAE cascade that plays a key role in attacks of swelling in people with HAE. ANDEMBRY reinforces CSL's decades-long commitment to advancing innovation for the HAE community and is authorized with a prefilled pen for subcutaneous self-injection. HAE is a rare, chronic, and potentially life-threatening genetic disorder characterized by recurrent and predictable attacks of angioedema. Attacks of HAE are often painful and can affect multiple sites of the body, including the abdomen, larynx, face, and extremities. ANDEMBRY inhibits the top of the HAE Cascade while other HAE therapies target downstream mediators. The Health Canada authorization is based on data from the pivotal placebo-controlled Phase 3 VANGUARD trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of ANDEMBRY. The pivotal study (The Lancet, April 2023) demonstrated that treatment with ANDEMBRY: Reduced HAE attacks by a median of more than 99% and a reduced least squares mean of 89.2%, compared to placebo. Led to 62% of ANDEMBRY-treated patients remaining attack-free throughout the treatment period. The most common adverse reactions in the pivotal trial were injection site erythema, injection site bruising, injection site pruritus, injection site urticaria, headache, and abdominal pain. A published interim analysis (Allergy, Oct 2024) of the ongoing open-label extension study (median ANDEMBRY exposure of 13.8 months) showed that ANDEMBRY has a favorable long-term safety profile and provides sustained reductions in HAE attacks.

CSL Behring's Gene Therapy HEMGENIX®? (etranacogene dezaparvovec-drlb) Four Years Post-Infusion Data Continue to Show Sustained Efficacy and Safety in Adults with Hemophilia B CSL announced the four-year results from the pivotal HOPE-B study confirming the long-term durability and safety of a one-time infusion of HEMGENIX®? (etranacogene dezaparvovec-drlb) for adults living with hemophilia B. In an oral presentation at the 18th Annual Congress of the European Association for Haemophilia and Allied Disorders (EAHAD), data showed that through four years, HEMGENIX continues to deliver elevated and sustained factor IX activity levels, can offer long-term and greater bleed protection compared to prophylactic treatment, can eliminate the need for routine factor IX prophylaxis, and maintains a favorable safety profile. Approved in 2022 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), HEMGENIX is the first gene therapy for the treatment of adults with hemophilia B who currently use factor IX prophylaxis therapy, or have current or historical life-threatening bleeding, or have repeated, serious spontaneous bleeding episodes. It is also the only approved gene therapy for hemophilia B that can treat adult patients with and without AAV5 neutralizing antibodies thereby providing the potential for a greater number of eligible patients to be treated. The multi-year clinical development of HEMGENIX was led by uniQure and sponsorship of the clinical trials transitioned to CSL after it licensed global rights to commercialize the treatment. Additionally, CSL established a post-marketing registry, which will be informative to all stakeholders and will generate additional evidence on the long-term safety, efficacy, and durability of gene therapy. HEMGENIX has also been granted conditional marketing authorization by the European Commission (EC) for the European Union and European Economic Area, the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), as well as authorization by Health Canada, Switzerland'sSwissmedic and provisional approval by Australia'sTherapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). To determine eligibility to receive HEMGENIX, will be tested for Factor IX inhibitors. If this test result is positive, a retest will be performed 2 weeks later. If both tests are positive for Factor IX inhibitors, doctor will not administer HEMGENIX to the company. Treatment for elevated liver enzymes could include corticosteroids. Annonce • Dec 14
CSL Receives Positive CHMP Opinion for Garadacimab in Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) CSL announced the European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) adopted a positive opinion, recommending granting a marketing authorization for garadacimab as a once-monthly prophylactic treatment for hereditary angioedema (HAE) in adult and adolescent patients aged 12 years and older. Garadacimab is a monoclonal antibody that targets activated factor XII (factor XIIa), a plasma protein that plays a key role in attacks of swelling in people with HAE, thereby inhibiting the HAE cascade at the top to prevent HAE attacks. The final European Commission (EC) decision is expected in First Quarter 2025. Attacks of HAE are often painful and can spread to multiple sites of the body, including the abdomen, larynx, face, and extremities. Current HAE preventive therapies work at various downstream steps in the cascade, but none prevent the cascade at its start. The CHMP positive opinion is based on data from the pivotal placebo-controlled Phase 3 VANGUARD trial and its open-label extension study, both evaluating the efficacy and safety of garadacimab. The pivotal study met its primary endpoint and showed that garadacimab led to 62 percent of patients achieving attack-free status throughout the treatment period, reduced the median number of HAE attacks to zero and reduced the mean number of HAE attacks per month by 86.5% compared to placebo. Interim analysis of the ongoing open-label extension study (median garadacimab exposure 13.8 months) showed that garadacimab has a favorable long-term safety profile and provides sustained HAE attack reduction. The full results from VANGUARD were published in The Lancet (April 2023) and the primary results of the ongoing open-label extension study were published in Allergy (October 2024). If granted, the centralized marketing authorization of garadacimab would be valid in all EU member states. The final opinion was published in the CHMP meeting highlights on the EMA website.
