Frequently Asked Questions

What were Celltrion's Q1 2026 revenue and operating profit figures?

Based on DART preliminary disclosure, revenue reached $787M (+36% YoY) and operating profit $221M (+115% YoY). Both represent record quarterly highs.

What is operating margin?

Operating margin is the percentage of revenue that translates to operating profit—essentially how much profit a company keeps from each dollar of sales after covering operational costs. Celltrion's operating margin for this quarter was approximately 28.1%.

Why call it a record if Q4 2025 was stronger sequentially?

Sequential decline of 13.9% revenue and 32.3% operating profit is expected; the 'record' designation compares Q1 to Q1 historically. Q1 typically experiences seasonally lower demand than Q4, making year-over-year and same-quarter comparisons the appropriate benchmark.
