Bausch Health Expands Probiotic Skincare Partnership into Six New Markets
Bausch Health Companies Inc. (NYSE:BHC) has expanded its partnership with Belgian skincare company YUN to include six new markets—Mexico, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Kazakhstan—as well as an expected launch in October 2026 for Kazakhstan. This expansion follows a successful initial rollout in Poland earlier this year and leverages YUN’s probiotic-based technology without requiring internal R&D investment. The move comes amid strong financial performance from Bausch Health, which reported $2.85 billion in Q2 revenue—a 13% increase year-over-year—and adjusted earnings per share of $1.26, up 40%. The company’s International segment saw robust growth driven by Latin America and EMEA regions, aligning with the new market expansion. However, not all segments are performing equally well; Bausch Health's Diversified division remained flat in Q2 due to weaker results from Dermatology, Generics, and Dentistry. Additionally, while headline International segment growth was 10%, organic growth dropped to just 5% after adjusting for currency effects.
