PharmaSGP with a significant leap in revenue in Q1 2023 EBITDA grows by more than 40%

Gräfelfing, 10 May 2023 In the first quarter of 2023, German OTC pharmaceutical company PharmaSGP Holding SE continued its dynamic performance of the previous quarters and achieved the highest level of quarterly revenue in the companys history to date at 24.0 million (on the basis of preliminary, unaudited results). This corresponds to an increase of 16.7% compared with the prior-year quarter ( 20.6 million). The Group achieved a substantial increase in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (adjusted EBITDA) to 7.0 million in the first three months of 2023 equivalent to outstanding year-on-year growth of 40.3%. As expected, the adjusted EBITDA margin rose to 29.2% (prior-year-quarter: 24.3%).

CEO Natalie Weigand comments: We strengthened our organic growth in key focus brands during the first months of 2023 and further expanded our market-leading position in relevant indication areas. Year-on-year revenue growth of 16.7% once again highlights our portfolios potential, both nationally and internationally.

CFO Michael Rudolf added: Following our record year in 2022, the signs continue to point clearly to profitable growth after the first quarter of 2023 as well. In addition to dynamic revenue growth, our sustainably high profit margin is outstanding. For this reason, we see ourselves clearly on track to achieve our guidance for the 2023 financial year.

For the 2023 financial year, revenue is expected in a range between 91 million and 96 million. For the adjusted EBITDA margin, the Management Board expects an increase to between 33.0% and 35.4%, compared to 32.9% in the 2022 financial year. This corresponds to adjusted EBITDA in a range between 30 million and 34 million.

PharmaSGP will publish its full statement for the first three months of 2023 on 26 May 2023.
