Operating Segments [Abstract]  
Segment information D.35. Segment information
Sanofi reports segment information for the Biopharma operating segment, further to the opening of exclusive negotiations
between Sanofi and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (CD&R) on October 21, 2024 with a view to selling an equity interest in Opella, which
would lead to loss of control over Opella on the effective closing date, scheduled for the second quarter of 2025 at the earliest.
Prior to the opening of those exclusive negotiations, Opella (formerly Consumer Healthcare) was an operating segment of Sanofi.
As a result of the announcement of the Proposed Opella Transaction (as defined in Note D.1.1.2. Project to divest a controlling
interest in Opella), as of the fourth quarter of 2024 Opella meets the criteria for a discontinued operation under IFRS 5 (see Note
B.7.), and the net income from this business is now presented separately within the line item Net income from discontinued
operations in the consolidated income statement. This presentation in a separate line item in the income statement applies to
results of operations for the current period, and for the comparative periods presented. With effect from that date, Sanofi
became a dedicated Biopharma company of which the performance, based on internal management reporting, is subject to
regular review by the Chief Executive Officer, Sanofi's chief operating decision-maker.
The Biopharma operating segment comprises commercial operations and research, development and production activities
relating to the Specialty Care, General Medicines and Vaccines franchises plus support and corporate functions, for all
geographical territories. It also includes revenues generated by legal entities within the Biopharma segment (and included in the
scope of continuing operations) from the manufacture of Consumer Healthcare products on behalf of legal entities within Opella;
those revenues are presented within Other Revenues in the income statement. The Biopharma operating segment also includes
the the purchase price of Biopharma products manufactured by legal entities within the Opella scope.
The “Other” category comprises primarily, but not exclusively, Consumer Healthcare activities that will not be transferred on the
effective date of loss of control of Opella. These are primarily (i) hospital sales of Opella products in China, the transfer of which
will be finalized no earlier than 2028 after a transitional period required to complete the transfer plan agreed with Sanofi in the
context of public tendering arrangements ; (ii) sales made by the dedicated entity Opella Russie, the equity interests in which will
be retained by Sanofi. Sanofi will continue to distribute Opella products in Russian territory under the distribution agreement
signed in connection with the separation, the parties reserving the right to discuss the transfer of this retained interest during the
distribution agreement term ; and (iii) sales of the Gold Bond product range, which are continuing in the United States through
the retained subsidiary Gold Bond LLC (holder of the associated worldwide property rights).
Figures for comparative periods (2023 and 2022) have been re-presented on a consistent basis to reflect the classification of
Opella as a discontinued operation.
D.35.1. Segment results
Sanofi reports segment results on the basis of “Business operating income”. This indicator is used internally by Sanofi’s chief operating
decision maker to measure the performance of the operating segment and to allocate resources.
“Business operating income” is derived from Operating income, adjusted as follows:
amortization and impairment losses charged against intangible assets (other than software and other rights of an industrial or
operational nature), are eliminated;
fair value remeasurements of contingent consideration relating to business combinations (IFRS 3) or business divestments,
and presented within the line item Fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration, are eliminated;
expenses arising from the remeasurement of inventories following business combinations (IFRS 3) or acquisitions of groups of
assets that do not constitute a business within the meaning of paragraph 2b of IFRS 3, are eliminated;
amounts reported within the line items Restructuring costs and similar items are eliminated;
other gains and losses including gains and losses on major divestments, presented within the line item Other gains and losses,
and litigation, are eliminated;
other costs and provisions related to litigation, presented within the line item Other gains and losses, and litigation, are
eliminated;
the share of profits/losses from investments accounted for using the equity method is added, to the extent that this relates
to joint ventures and associates with which Sanofi has a strategic alliance; and
the portion of business operating income net of tax attributable to non-controlling interests is deducted; and
net income attributable to non-controlling interests related to continuing operations and excluding the effects of the above
reconciliation items, is deducted.

study investigating of a vaccine candidate to prevent invasive E.coli disease - partially offset by impairment losses reversals, recognized in connection
with the disposals of the ProXTen platform and Enjaymo, for €225 million and €167 million respectively. For 2023, this amount mainly comprises an
