Given the method used to calculate royalties payable, an increase or decrease in sales forecasts would lead to a proportionate change in the amount of the liability.

Provisions for pensions and other post-employment benefits
For an analysis of the sensitivity of obligations in respect of pensions and other employee benefits as of December 31, 2024, and of the assumptions used as of that date, see Note D.19.1. to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The principal assumptions used (in particular, discount and inflation rates) and the market value of plan assets for the eurozone, the United States and the United Kingdom were reviewed as of June 30, 2025 to take into account changes during the first half of the year.
During the first half of 2025, Sanofi completed a further buy-in (amounting to €101 million) to cover the remaining uninsured liabilities arising under the main defined benefit pension scheme in the United Kingdom. Consequently, all scheme members are now fully insured as a result of buy-in transactions, except for liabilities rising from guaranteed minimum pension equalization (as described in Note D.19.1. to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024).
Actuarial gains and losses arising on pensions and other post-employment benefits and recognized in equity are as follows (amounts reported before tax):
