One of Ukraine’s largest pharmaceutical distributors, Optima-Pharm, Ltd. (Kyiv), saw its net profit drop by 53% in 2025—to nearly 1.67 billion UAH.
As the company reported in its 2025 annual report, sales of goods and services during this period increased by 2.9% to nearly UAH 76.251 billion, while revenue from goods sales rose by 2% to nearly UAH 70.944 billion.
Revenue from the sale of pharmaceuticals amounted to approximately UAH 59.821 billion, which is nearly equal to the 2024 figures; revenue from the sale of dietary supplements increased by 5% to UAH 6.506 billion; revenue from the sale of medical devices increased by 15% to more than UAH 2.643 billion; revenue from cosmetics sales decreased by 11% to 785.957 million UAH.
The company noted that several of Optima-Pharm’s owned and leased warehouses were destroyed as a result of rocket attacks; management assessed and recognized losses in the amount of 2.3 billion UAH.
“Some suppliers have agreed to replenish inventory levels at the company’s warehouses or compensate for the losses in other ways; management continues negotiations with others,” Optima-Pharm notes in the report.
As reported, in May, the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine (AMCU) fined “Optima-Pharm, LTD” 7.094 million UAH. The fine was imposed for providing the committee with incomplete information at the request of the AMCU’s deputy chairman.
Earlier, in July 2025, the AMCU fined “BaDM” and “Optima-Pharm, LTD” for violating competition law for a total amount of over 4.8 billion UAH (2.374 billion UAH for ‘BaDM’ and 2.432 billion UAH for “Optima-Pharm, LTD”).
Later, in October, the AMCU decided not to suspend its decision regarding “BaDM” and “Optima-Pharm, LTD,” which had challenged the committee’s decision in court.
In December 2025, the enforcement service, acting on a claim by the AMCU, initiated enforcement proceedings to collect the debt from the pharmaceutical distributor BaDM LLC; in April of this year, similar proceedings were initiated against the joint venture Optima-Pharm, LTD (Kyiv), which are the largest pharmaceutical distributors in Ukraine.
As reported, on November 18, Russian troops once again shelled Optima-Pharm’s warehouses; the company’s warehouse building in Dnipro was completely destroyed. Earlier, on October 25, Optima-Pharm’s warehouse complex and office in Kyiv were damaged by shelling, with losses estimated at $100 million; on August 28 of last year, another Kyiv warehouse belonging to the distributor was destroyed.
As reported to the agency “Interfax-Ukraine” by the AMCU, the committee currently has no information that the fines totaling nearly 4.807 billion UAH imposed on the two largest pharmaceutical distributors, BaDM LLC and Optima-Farm, Ltd. Joint Venture, following the committee’s lawsuit, have been collected.
