UPDATE 2-Roche eyes return to growth after Q1 hit by forex, loss of COVID sales
Roche confirmed ambitions to return to sales growth this year on a continued boost from eye drug Vabysmo, after first-quarter sales slipped by 6% on the loss on COVID-19-related revenue. Quarterly sales fell to 14.4 billion Swiss francs ($15.80 billion), the family-controlled drugmaker said in a statement on Wednesday, hurt also by a strong Swiss franc that weighed on overseas revenue but in line with analysts expectations. Roche, which does not disclose quarterly earnings, said the rest of the year would no longer be burdened by year-earlier comparisons that were inflated by COVID-related sales.
