In 2010, Gedeon Richter reported total sales in Romania of EUR137.3 million.
The company said wholesale and retail sales dropped 8.3% to EUR109.9 million in 2011, from EUR119.8 million a year earlier.
The decrease was partly compensated by a 5.4% increase in pharmaceuticals sales to EUR31 million, versus EUR29.5 million in 2010.
Group-wide, Gedeon Richter posted total sales of EUR1.1 billion, up 10.7% on the year. However, the group’s profit fell 25% to EUR176 million, on higher costs.
In Romania, Gedeon Richter runs a pharmaceuticals company with the same name, 117 drug stores, wholesaler Pharmapharm and Gedeon Richter Farmacia chain of stores.
