opharma 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
