The first quarter of 2024 continues to show strong momentum of the Group across both the SPC and RRD business units, with consolidated net revenue of € 607.8 million, increasing by 10.2% compared to the first quarter of the previous year; excluding revenue contribution from Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart® of € 27.5 million1 , growth on a like‐for‐like basis2 and at constant exchange rates is 10.9%, with adverse currency impact in the quarter of € 31.2 million (‐5.7%), primarily affecting Specialty & Primary Care, and mainly driven by the devaluation of the Turkish Lira, compensated by high price inflation.

1 Trademarks are owned by or licensed to the GSK group of companies. Transition of commercialization effectively completed in most of the territories.

2 Pro‐forma growth calculated excluding Q1 2024 revenue of Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart®.

Specialty & Primary Care revenue totalled € 395.5 million in the first quarter of 2024, growing 9.3% or 10.1% on a like‐for‐like basis3 and at constant exchange rates (+2.7% excluding Türkiye), against a very robust first quarter of 2023. This reflects strong performance across all categories, particularly the Urology franchise thanks to the fast transition of sales and distribution activities of Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart®, which contributed € 27.5 million of revenue, and also to the double‐digit growth of Eligard®. The quarter also benefitted from strong start of sales in Türkiye and to international distributors, with phasing patterns similar to the first quarter of 2023. The performance of the cough and cold portfolio at start of the year was also broadly in line with strong levels seen in the first quarter of 2023, with the decrease in the quarter reflecting unfavourable exchange rates in relevant markets.

Revenue in the Rare Diseases segment for the first quarter of 2024 totalled € 197.5 million, up 13.1% or 13.9% at constant exchange rates as compared to the first quarter of 2023, driven by key growth franchises Oncology and Endocrinology. The Endocrinology franchise achieved net revenue of € 74.1 million, growing by 33.8%, reflecting the strong performance of Isturisa® and Signifor®. The Oncology franchise achieved net revenue of € 58.3 million, growing by 22.1%, mainly driven by Qarziba® with continued growth also of Sylvant®. The Metabolic franchise achieved net revenue of € 65.1 million, a decrease of 9.0% due to generic competition in the US and EMEA and to some phasing of Panhematin®.

Revenue performance led to an increase in operating results compared to the same period of last year, with EBITDA at € 244.0 million, up by 10.5% compared to the first quarter of 2023 and 40.2% of revenue (versus 40.0% for the first quarter of 2023), reflecting strong revenue and operating leverage, driven also by the fast and effective integration of Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart®, with an expected gradual increase in life cycle management activities and related costs over the course of the year, in line with plan.

Adjusted operating income of € 202.0 million increased by 8.3% compared to the same period of the previous year, with a ratio to revenue of 33.2%, broadly in line with the previous year.

Operating income was € 186.9 million in the first quarter of 2024, up 8.3% over the first quarter of 2023, absorbing gross margin‐related non‐cash charges of € 14.3 million (versus € 11.2 million in Q1 2023), arising from the unwind of the fair value step up of the acquired rare oncology inventory. Non‐recurring costs were € 0.8 million, reduced versus € 2.8 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Financial expenses were € 25.7 million, up by € 13.1 million compared to the previous year, including € 2.7 million in FX losses (mostly unrealized, compared to gains of 0.6 million in the first quarter of 2023) and € 3.2 million of net monetary losses from hyperinflation accounting (compared to gains of € 0.8 million in the first quarter of 2023).

Adjusted net income was € 163.7 million, at 26.9% of revenue, up by 5.6% compared to the same period of 2023, with higher operating income partially offset by the increase in interest expenses as well as of the tax rate, following statutory tax rate increase in some countries. Net income was € 123.6 million, 20.3% of net revenue, in line with prior year, due to the higher tax rate and financing costs offsetting the higher operating income, and also absorbing slightly higher non‐cash charges related to the residual inventory acquired from EUSA Pharma and higher impact of hyperinflation accounting.

In line with the prior year, results reflect the application of accounting standards for economies with hyperinflation to activities in Türkiye (IAS 29 and specific arrangements of IAS 21), the effect of which is substantially neutral in terms of revenues and slightly dilutive on margins, with a reduction in EBITDA of € 3.0 million (vs € 2.6 million in Q1 2023) and of € 6.3 million at level of Net Income (vs € 2.9 million in Q1 2023).

3 Pro‐forma growth calculated excluding Q1 2024 revenue of Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart®.

The net financial position as of 31st March 2024 recorded net debt of € 1,432.3 million, or leverage of approximately 1.75x EBITDA pro‐forma4 , compared to net debt of € 1,579.4 million on 31st December 2023. During the period, treasury shares were sold from exercising stock options for € 4.5 million, net of purchases. Free cash flow, which is operating cash flow excluding financing items, milestones, dividends, and sales of treasury shares from the exercise of stock options net of purchases, was € € 147.1 million for the first quarter 2024, an increase of € 43.7 million versus the first quarter of 2023, driven by higher EBITDA and lower working capital absorption.

Shareholders' equity was € 1,817.6 million.

CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT NEWS AND OTHER KEY EVENTS

Following positive interaction with the FDA and the recent confirmation of Orphan Drug Designation, Recordati plans to submit the supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for the potential label extension for osilodrostat (Isturisa®) for Cushing's syndrome in the US during the third quarter of 2024.

The New Drug Application (NDA) for Signifor® LAR in China was submitted in March 2024; priority review status was granted, and a regulatory decision is expected by mid‐2025. The regulatory decision for Isturisa® in China is expected in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Recordati continues to expect top‐line data for the global phase II study of REC 0559 for the treatment of neurotrophic keratitis in mid‐2024. Similarly, as part of the regulatory process for the potential registration of dinutuximab beta (Qarziba®) in the US, the Group is planning to discuss the data analysis plan for the potential supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) with FDA end of the second quarter of 2024.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The Group's pharmaceutical business includes two segments: Specialty and Primary Care and Rare Diseases. Business is conducted through subsidiaries in Europe, Russia, Türkiye, North Africa, the United States of America, Canada, Mexico, certain South American countries, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, China and South Korea and, in the rest of the world, through licensing agreements with leading pharmaceutical companies. Sales of specialty medicines represent 97.6% of the Group's total revenues.

As already mentioned, total consolidated net revenue for the Group in the first quarter of 2024 was € 607.8 million, compared to € 551.4 million in the first quarter of the previous year (+10.2% or +10.9% on a like‐for‐like basis5 and at constant exchange rates) and included net revenue from sales of Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart® of € 27.5 million. Net revenue reflects a strong start to the year across both segments of the Group, absorbing substantial adverse impact of exchange rates of € 31.2 million (mostly from Türkiye, offset by continued high price inflation), with strong start of sales in Türkiye and to international distributors which showed phasing patterns similar to first quarter of 2023, and robust start of cough and cold season, broadly in line with strong performance in prior year but reflecting impact of adverse Fx.

The positive performance in Specialty and Primary Care in the first quarter reflects solid volume growth ahead of relevant markets across most territories and the addition of sales of Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart®.

Urology sales increased +52.3% compared to the first quarter of 2023 thanks to the ongoing strong performance of Eligard®, which has continued to gain share across most markets, to the steady growth of Urorec® (silodosin), which grew by 4.6% mainly in Russia and Türkiye (despite the FX headwind), and the sales of Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart® of € 27.5 million, following the new sales distribution agreement with GSK signed in July 2023, with market transitions now mostly completed.

Cardiovascular revenue was in line with the first quarter 2023, with continued strong uptake of Reselip® in France and good growth of Livazo® (pitavastatin), Seloken® (metoprolol) and Cardicor® in Italy, partly offset by a slight decline in Zanipress® mainly reflecting the exit of low margin tenders in Germany.

Gastrointestinal revenue was in line as compared to the same period of last year, with steady growth of Procto‐ Glyvenol® and Reuflor® partly offset by a decrease in some local products.

Sales of seasonal flu products declined compared to the first quarter of 2023, entirely driven by RUB and TRY FX headwinds. Results reflect good performance in Italy of prescription seasonal flu medicines (mainly driven by Aircort®), partially offset by softer sales in France against a very strong comparable in the first quarter of 2023.

Sales of pharmaceutical chemicals, which comprise active substances produced in the Campoverde plant in Italy for the international pharmaceutical industry, were € 14.8 million, in line with the same period of the previous year.

The performance of products sold directly in more than one market (corporate products) for the Specialty & Primary Care segment is shown in the table below, where the growth of sales of other corporate products is mainly driven by Polydexa® (neomycin), Reagila® (cariprazine) and Lomexin® (fenticonazole) and, in OTC products, certain gastroenterological products like Procto‐Glyvenol® (tribenoside), Casenlax® and Fleet® Enema.

As shown in the table below, in the first quarter of 2024 sales of medicines for the treatment of rare diseases, marketed directly in Europe, the Middle East, the US, Canada, Mexico and some countries in South America, Japan, Australia and through partners in other territories, totalled € 197.5 million, up by 13.1%. This was mainly driven by the strong growth of the endocrinology products, increasing by 33.8%, thanks to continued patients' uptake of both Isturisa® and Signifor® and positive year‐on‐year pricing in the US. Oncology products grew by +22.1%, driven by Qarziba® volume expansion and growth of Sylvant®, with Metabolic down by ‐9.0% mainly due to price erosion due to continued generic pressure.

Net revenue in Russia excludes sales of rare disease products which are sold via international and local distributors.

The Group's pharmaceutical business in the US is dedicated to marketing products for the treatment of rare diseases. Sales were € 90.0 million in the first quarter of 2024, up by 16.4% (in local currency +17.8%) driven by the endocrinology products, including growth of both Isturisa® and Signifor® from increased volume and improved pricing, and by the oncology portfolio, driven by Sylvant®. Sales of metabolic products declined mainly due to price erosion from generic entrants' impact on Carbaglu® and some phasing of Panhematin®.

Sales of pharmaceutical specialties in Italy were € 89.8 million, increasing by 11.6% compared to the same period of the previous year, growing in both the Specialty and Primary Care and the Rare Diseases segments. Sales of Specialty and Primary Care account for € 81.4 million with an increase of 9.6% compared to the first quarter of 2023, thanks to the good performance in prescription seasonal flu medicines (mainly driven by Aircort®) as well as the contribution of the new products distributed under the agreement with GSK (Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart®) and the continued growth in OTC products, particularly Magnesio Supremo® and Proctolyn®. Sales in products for the treatment of rare diseases amounted to € 8.4 million, up by 24.0% driven by both Isturisa® (whose reimbursement was approved in January 2023) and Qarziba®.

Sales in Spain accounted for € 52.6 million, up by 46.2% compared to the same period of previous year, increasing across both Specialty and Primary Care and Rare Diseases. The increase in the Specialty and Primary Care products includes the strong contribution from sales of Avodart® and Duodart®, which contributed € 15.1 million of sales

in the first quarter of 2024, and continued growth of key promoted products like Eligard®, Casenlax® and Reagila®, together with the positive contribution of the recently launched Rizmoic® and Muvagyn Vaginal Probiotic®. Sales of rare disease products were € 7.5 million, up by 9.1% due to the significant growth of the oncology products (particularly Qarziba®).

Sales in France, at € 46.0 million, were down by 6.4%. Sales in the Specialty and Primary Care segment were € 37.2 million, with a decrease of 4.8% mainly driven by softer performance of cough & cold products against an exceptionally strong first quarter of 2023, partly offset by the continued strong performance of Reselip® and Eligard® on top of the addition of Avodart® and Combodart®. Sales of products for the treatment of rare diseases amounted to € 8.8 million, down by 8.0% due to a decrease in sales of Carbaglu® due to generics competition partially offset by growth of endocrinology products.

Sales in Germany were € 41.5 million, slightly below the same period of the previous year, due to a decrease in the Specialty and Primary Care segment mainly related to reference price impact for Ortoton®, Claversal® and Zanipress® and consequently, the decision to no longer participate in exclusive tenders for these products. Sales of products for the treatment of rare diseases amounted to € 11.4 million (+3.1%) mainly reflecting strong performance of the oncology products (driven by Qarziba®) partly offset by a decrease in the sales of Carbaglu®.

Sales generated in Russia, Ukraine and in the countries within the Commonwealth of Independent States (C.I.S.) were € 41.2 million, down by 4.8% compared to the same period of the previous year and reflecting an estimated negative exchange rate effect of € 6.7 million, mainly related to RUB. Sales in the Specialty and Primary Care in Russia were RUB 2,489.8 million in local currency, up by 7.6% over the same period of the previous year. The increase in sales in Russia is mainly driven by Polidexa® in the Cough & Cold products, Eligard® in Urology products and by Procto‐Glyvenol® in the Gastrointestinal products. Sales of products for the treatment of rare diseases in this area amounted to € 7.1 million, in line with the same period of the previous year.

Sales in Türkiye were at € 37.3 million, up by 12.9% compared to the same period of previous year, driven by volume growth, with significant adverse currency exchange effect of € 24.1 million fully offset by continued high price inflation. The effect of applying IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" to activities in Türkiye caused a positive effect on net revenue of € 1.8 million, while the specific provisions of IAS 21 resulted in a negative effect of € 1.4 million (difference between translation at average FX vs end of period FX). Growth of the Specialty and Primary Care segment in Türkiye was mainly driven by Mictonorm®, Alipza®, Cabral®, Urorec® and by the contribution from Eligard®. Sales of products for the treatment of rare diseases amounted to € 1.6 million, more than doubling the same period of the previous year, driven by Qarziba® and Cystagon®.

Sales in Portugal were € 16.1 million, up by 2.7% compared to the same period of the previous year, increasing in both the Specialty and Primary Care and the Rare Diseases segments. In Specialty and Primary Care, growth was driven mainly by the OTC products (gastrointestinal products and Magnesio Supremo®) and certain prescription medications (mainly Enerzair® and Reagila®). Sales of products for the treatment of rare diseases amounted to € 1.6 million, growing by 7.8% compared the to the first quarter of 2023 mainly due to the metabolic portfolio.

Sales in other Central and Eastern European countries, at € 41.4 million, include the sales from Recordati subsidiaries in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and the Baltic countries, in addition to sales of rare disease treatments in this area. In the first quarter of 2024, overall sales increased by 14.6%, mainly thanks to growth in metoprolol, in Eligard® and the contribution of Avodart® and Duodart®. Sales of products for the treatment of rare diseases in this area, amounting to € 8.2 million, increased by 18.4% compared to the first quarter of 2023, mainly driven by the growth in endocrinology products.

Sales in other countries in Western Europe accounted for € 39.8 million (up 5.9% compared to the same period of previous year) and include sales of products for Specialty & Primary Care and Rare Diseases products in the

United Kingdom, Ireland, Greece, Switzerland, Nordic countries (Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Iceland) and in BeNelux. Sales in the Specialty & Primary Care segment were € 23.7 million, up 3.8% driven by addition of Avodart® and Duodart® sales. Sales of products for the treatment of rare diseases in this area amounted to € 16.1 million, up by 5.3%, mainly thanks to the contribution of the oncology products.

Sales in North Africa were at € 12.7 million, up by 22.6% compared to the same period of the previous year and include the export revenue generated by Laboratoires Bouchara Recordati in these territories, in particular in Algeria, and sales generated by Opalia Pharma, the Group's Tunisian subsidiary, as well as sales of products for the treatment of rare diseases. Pharmaceutical sales in Tunisia in the first quarter of 2024 were up by 15.1%, driven by Urorec® and by local products.

Other international sales, at € 84.7 million, were up by 12.0% compared to the same period of previous year and comprise sales and other revenue from licensees for corporate products, Laboratoires Bouchara Recordati's and Casen Recordati's export sales, as well as sales of products for the treatment of rare diseases in the rest of the world. Sales in Specialty and Primary Care increases by 5.2% mainly driven by volume, with Polydexa®, Eligard®, Tergynan®, Exomuc® being the main contributors. Sales in the Rare Diseases segment up by 16.2%, compared to the same period of previous year mainly driven by Qarziba® (China, Taiwan, Middle East) Carbaglu® (Argentina, Brasil) and Isturisa® (Colombia).

Net revenue amounted to € 607.8 million, up by € 56.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2023. For a detailed analysis, please refer to the previous chapter "Review of Operations".

Gross profit was € 415.6 million, 68.4% of revenue, increasing by 7.2% compared to the first quarter of 2023. Net of the impact of the € 14.3 million arising from the application of IFRS 3 on sales of residual inventory acquired with EUSA Pharma, adjusted gross profit was € 429.9 million, up by 7.7%, with margin on sales lower than previous year mainly due to consolidation of Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart®, which results in lower gross profit margin but is accretive at the EBITDA level due to high synergies with the legacy urology business.

Selling expenses are almost flat compared to the same period of the previous year, with a 19.9% ratio to revenue, improved as compared to 21.8% in the first quarter 2023 thanks to the positive revenue performance and the above‐mentioned contribution from Avodart® and Combodart/Duodart®.

Research and development expenses were € 67.3 million, an increase of 11.3% compared to those in the first quarter of the previous year and include € 4.1 million of amortization of intangible fixed assets for the products acquired from GSK in the third quarter 2023.

General and administrative expenses increased by 16.7% owing to the strengthening of the general coordination structure to support the growth of the business and due to increased investment in systems.

Other income and expenses amounted to € 4.9 million (compared to € 4.4 million in the first quarter of 2023) and include a write down of € 2.0 million on intangible asset related to Ledaga® distribution licence, following an amendment of the distribution and licensing agreement for the return of the rights of the Japanese market.

Adjusted operating income (net income before income taxes, financial income and expenses, non‐recurring items and non‐cash charges arising from the allocation of the purchase price of EUSA Pharma to the gross margin of acquired inventory according to IFRS 3) was € 202.0 million, up by 8.3% compared to the first quarter of 2023, accounting for 33.2% of sales. Operating income was € 186.9 million, up by 8.3% compared to the same period the previous year.

Total amortisation amounted to € 40.0 million, of which € 32.5 million related to intangible assets, up by € 5.3 million over the first quarter of the previous year, attributable mostly to the acquisition of distribution rights of Avodart® (dutasteride) and Combodart®/Duodart® (dutasteride/tamsulosin) from GSK, and € 7.5 million relating to property, plant and equipment, up by € 0.5 million over the same period the previous year.

EBITDA* at € 244.0 million, was up 10.5% compared to the first quarter of 2023, accounting for 40.2% of revenue.

The Specialty & Primary Care segment was 38.8% of EBITDA and the Rare Disease segment was 43.0%, with SPC margin improvement reflecting mostly benefit of consolidation of new Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart® business.

Net financial expenses amounted to € 25.7 million, up by € 13.1 million compared to the same period the previous year, mainly due to the effect of the new loans taken out during 2023 and the global rise in interest rates. Net exchange losses over the period amounted to € 2.7 million (mainly unrealized and driven by the revaluation of the US dollar), against net gains of € 0.6 million in the first quarter of 2023, and the impact of hyperinflation were negative € 3.2 million versus € 0.8 million gains in the first quarter of 2023.

The effective tax rate was 23.3%, which was slightly higher than the same period of the previous year, following statutory tax rate increase in some countries. In continuing with the approach adopted in previous years, this result includes the tax benefit pertaining to the first quarter of 2023 relating to the Patent Box in Italy, which reduces tax for an estimated amount of € 2.5 million.

Net income was € 123.6 million, at 20.3% of revenue, flat versus the same period prior year as the higher operating profit is offset by the increase in interest expenses and tax rate, but also by the higher impact from the unwinding of the fair value revaluation of the inventory acquired from EUSA Pharma (due to higher sales value of Oncology products versus the first quarter of 2023) and the higher FX losses and negative hyperinflation impact in Türkiye.

Adjusted net income was € 163.7 million, up by 5.6%, and excludes amortization and write‐downs of intangible assets (except software) and goodwill for a total amount of € 34.0 million, charges from non‐recurring items of € 0.8 million, non‐cash charges arising from the allocation of the purchase price of EUSA Pharma to the gross margin of acquired inventory of € 14.3 million, and net loss from hyperinflation of € 3.2 million (IAS 29), net of tax effects.

These interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria prescribed by the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the European Union, but do not include the full information required for the annual financial statements and must therefore be read together with the annual report for the full year ended 31st December 2023, prepared in accordance with the IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union pursuant of regulation no. 1606/2002.

The preparation of the interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements. If in the future, these estimates and assumptions, which are based on management's best judgement, should deviate from the actual circumstances, these will be modified in relation to the circumstances. In making the estimates and assumptions related to the preparation of these interim financial statements, the impacts, even potential ones, deriving from the Russia‐Ukraine crisis were taken into account. The Group operates on the Russian market, in compliance with current regulations, with revenue in the first quarter of 2024 totalling 5.3% of the Group's total revenue, as well as on the Ukrainian market, with revenue in the first quarter of 2024 accounting for 0.8% of the total. The Group continues to monitor the conflict, as well as any geopolitical developments and related consequences on corporate strategies, to adopt mechanisms to protect its competitive position, investments, corporate performance, and resources. In light of these interim accounts, also in consideration of the achievement of the expected results and the relevant sector, no effects were currently identified that could have a significant impact on figures in the financial statements. Valuation exercises, in particular complex calculations such as those required to identify impairment loss, are carried out in depth only for the preparation of the year‐end consolidated financial statements, except when there are impairment loss indicators, which would require an immediate estimate of the loss.

In relation to financial instruments measured at fair value, IFRS 13 requires the classification of these instruments according to the standard's hierarchy levels, which reflect the significance of the inputs used in establishing the fair value. The following levels are used:

  • ‐ Level 1: unadjusted assets or liabilities subject to valuation on an active market;
  • ‐ Level 2: inputs other than prices listed under the previous point, which are observable directly (prices) or indirectly (derivatives from the prices) on the market;
  • ‐ Level 3: input which is not based on observable market data.

Disclosure of the net financial position is included in the section "Management Review" of this Report.

Application of new accounting principles

The accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the last annual financial statements, including amendments to IAS 12 introduced in response to the OECD's BEPS Pillar Two rules.

The Pillar Two legislation has been substantially adopted in some of the jurisdictions in which the Group operates. The rules entered into force for the financial year that began on 1 January 2024. As the Group is within the scope of application for Pillar Two, an evaluation is underway to assess the potential future impact resulting from the new rules, bearing in mind the changes introduced by IAS 12 "Income taxes", in this area. This evaluation is based on the last available information, including the tax returns, the country reports and latest financial information for 2023 and the rules currently in place in the various countries in which the Group has a presence.

The early evaluations and best interpretation of the OECD guideline documents show that almost all the Group countries exceed the "transitional safe harbours" apart from Italy, Ireland, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates. For them, although the analysis is nearing completion, the preliminary effects have been recognized, which in any case are not material.

3. NET REVENUE

The Group's operations and main revenue streams are those described in the last annual financial statements. The Group's revenue is derived from contracts with customers and is not subject to significant seasonal fluctuations, with the exception of those in the cough and cold therapeutic area, where performance was essentially in line with the previous year, net of the exchange rate effect.

During the first quarter of 2024, net revenue amounted to € 607.8 million, up compared to the € 551.4 million in the same period during 2023. It included € 27.5 million for sales of Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart®, where the sales and distribution rights were acquired from GSK during the third quarter of 2023.

Net revenue can be broken down as follows:

Total net revenue 607,820 551,363 56,457
Various revenue 1,363 820 543
Upfront payments 294 486 (192)
Royalties 2,058 2,300 (242)
Net sales 604,105 547,757 56,348

Changes
2024/2023

The effect of the application of IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" to activities in

Türkiye, taking account of the provisions of IAS 21 "Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates", essentially had a neutral effect on sales revenue.

Revenue for up‐front payments is related to the activity of licensing and distribution of products in the portfolio and is recognized when it accrues along the time horizon of collaboration with customers. Upfront payment revenue for € 0.3 million recognised in the first quarter of 2024 referred mainly to the marketing agreements for lercanidipine and the combination lercanidipine and enalapril. The remaining balance of amounts already paid in advance by customers, which will be recognized for accounting purposes as revenue in future periods, is recognized under current liabilities (see Note 20) and amounted to € 2.6 million (€ 2.9 million as of 31st December 2023).

In the tables below, net revenue is disaggregated by product or product class and by geographic area by country. The tables also include a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue with the Group's reportable segments.

4. OPERATING EXPENSES

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2024 amounted to € 420.9 million, up compared to the € 378.8 million for the corresponding period the previous year, and are classified by function as follows:

€ (thousands) First quarter
2024

Cost of sales 192,260 163,654 28,606

Research and development expenses 67,318 60,458 6,860

Other (income)/expenses, net 4,878 4,257 621
Total operating expenses 420,921 378,798 42,123

The cost of sales totalled € 192.3 million, up compared to the first three months in 2023 and representing 31.6% of revenue, higher than the 29.7% in the first quarter of 2023. This is attributable to the higher cost to sell products acquired from GSK and also the revaluation, in accordance with accounting standard IFRS 3 for the EUSA Pharma inventories acquired. This impacted negatively on the income statement, calculated on the basis of the units sold in the period, amounting to € 14.3 million, compared to € 11.2 million in the first

quarter of 2023. The effect of the application of IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" and several provisions of IAS 21 "Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates" to activities in Türkiye was € 3.8 million compared to € 2.9 million in the first three months of 2023.

Selling expenses were essentially stable in relation to the same period the previous year, at 19.9% of revenue, improving on the 21.8% in the first quarter of 2023 thanks to the positive revenue performance (including the contribution from the new products) and the operations implemented during recent years to make the sales structure in Specialty & Primary Care business more efficient.

Research and development expenses were at € 67.3 million, up by 11.3% compared to the first quarter of last year and include € 4.1 million from the amortisation of the intangible assets acquired from GSK in the third quarter of 2023.

General and administrative expenses increased by 16.7% owing to the strengthening of the general coordination structure to support an increasingly complex portfolio.

The following table summarizes the more significant components of "Other net (income)/expenses".

The impairment of intangible assets refers to the product Ledaga® following the return of distribution rights for Japan.

Total operating expenses are broken down by nature as follows:

Material consumption 139,721 115,724 23,997

Other expenses 84,561 81,733 2,828
Total operating expenses 420,921 378,798 42,123

The proportion of raw material consumption to net revenue was 23.0%, up compared to the 21.0% during the same period in 2023, mainly as a result of the integration of Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart®.

The item "Payroll costs" includes € 1.3 million in charges for stock option plans, down by € 2.0 million compared to the same period of the previous year. In 2023, the Parent Company adopted a new long‐term incentive plan called "2023‐2025 Performance Shares Plan" benefiting certain Group employees (see Note 16). The cost pertaining the period, determined based on IFRS 2, amounted to € 1.5 million.

Starting in 2019, some Group employees were designated as beneficiaries of an incentive plan with a 5‐year vesting period, granted and entirely funded by Rossini Luxembourg S.à r.l., an indirect shareholder of Recordati S.p.A., and will benefit from a return at the expiry of the plan term if they have met a number of performance conditions. The measurement according to the accounting standard IFRS 2 led to an expense in the first quarter 2024 income statement of € 0.4 million, which also includes the incentive plan granted by Rossini Luxembourg S.à r.l. to the Chief Executive Officer of the Recordati Group.

Amortisations amounted to € 40.0 million, of which € 32.5 million related to intangible assets, up by € 5.3 million over the first quarter of the previous year, attributable mostly to the acquisition of distribution rights for Avodart® (dutasteride) and Combodart®/Duodart® (dutasteride/tamsulosin) from GSK (€ 4.1 million), and € 7.5 million relating to property, plant and equipment, up by € 0.5 million over the same period the previous year.

"Other expenses" include non‐cash charges for € 14.3 million in the first quarter 2024, arising from the release of the purchase price allocation of EUSA Pharma to the gross margin of acquired inventories pursuant to IFRS 3, an increase of € 3.1 million in respect to the same period of the previous year.

5. NET FINANCIAL INCOME AND EXPENSES

In the first quarter of 2024 and same period in 2023, the balance of financial components was negative for € 25.7 million and € 12.6 million, respectively.

Total net financial (income)/expenses 25,750 12,624 13,126

The main balance items are summarized in the table below.

The increase in the interest expense on loans for € 6.2 million was mainly due to new debt undertaken in the second quarter of 2023 for a total of € 450 million, of which € 350 million already disbursed and mainly linked to the agreement with GSK, as well as the progressive overall increase in interest rates. Note number 17 contains the details of the loan contracts.

Net exchange losses, mostly unrealized, amounted to € 2.7 million and were mainly attributable to the performance of the US dollar, whereas during the first quarter of 2023, net exchange gains were recorded for € 0.6 million.

Hyperinflation had a negative impact for € 3.2 million, whereas this had been positive for € 0.8 million in the first quarter of 2023.

6. INCOME TAXES

Income taxes amounted to € 37.6 million and include income taxes levied on all consolidated companies as well as the Italian regional tax on production (IRAP) which is levied on all Italian companies.

In 2019, the Parent Company signed an advance agreement with the Italian Tax Authority to define the calculation methods and criteria for a discount on taxable income connected with the direct use of intangible assets (co‐called "Patent box") for the 2015 to 2019 tax years. As in the previous year, again in tax year 2024, Recordati S.p.A. took part in the reverse charge regime with reference to the same assets as in 2015‐2019 (with the exception of expired patents and brands excluded in the meantime from the objective scope of subsidy). The Company, operating in line with the previous years, determined the tax benefit pertaining to the first quarter of 2024, recognized to reduce the tax amounts, as € 2.5 million.

"Other changes" includes the conversion into euro of the property, plant and equipment recognized in different currencies, for a net decrease of € 1.9 million compared to 31st December 2023, primarily due to

the devaluation of the Turkish lira.

"Other changes" includes the conversion into euro of the intangible assets held and recognised in different currencies, for a net decrease of € 28.3 million compared to 31st December 2023, primarily due to the devaluation of the Swiss franc.

9. GOODWILL

Goodwill at 31st March 2024 and 31st December 2023 amounted to € 783.0 million and € 778.3 million respectively and underwent changes following the application of IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" and the effect of the change in foreign exchange rates in terms of IAS 21 "Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates":

€ (thousands)

Following the overall changes in operations in the Specialty and Primary Care segment and introduction of the new business model and organisational structure, based on management's new strategies, pursuant to the IAS 36 accounting standard which defines Cash Generating Units (CGU) as the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely independent from other assets or groups of assets, the Group's assets were subdivided into two CGUs with effect from the year closed the 31st December 2023. Net goodwill at 31st March 2024, amounting to € 783.0 million, was divided into the two CGUs as follows:

  • for € 518.6 million to the Specialty and Primary Care sector (or SPC);
  • for € 264.4 million to the CGU referring to medicines for Rare Disease treatments.

In compliance with IFRS 3 goodwill is not systematically amortized. Instead, it is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if specific events or circumstances indicate a possible loss of value. During the period no events or circumstances arose to indicate possible value loss related to any of the above‐ mentioned items.

10. OTHER EQUITY INVESTMENTS AND SECURITIES

At 31st March 2024, these amounted to € 25.0 million, up by € 3.4 million compared to 31st December 2023.

The main investment refers to the U.K. company PureTech Health plc, specializing in investments in start‐up companies dedicated to innovative therapies, medical devices and new research technologies. Starting from 19th June 2015, the shares of the Company were admitted for trading on the London Stock Exchange. At 31st March 2024, the total fair value of the 9,554,140 shares held was € 24.9 million. The value of the investment was consequently adjusted to the stock exchange value and increased by € 3.5 million, compared to 31st December 2023, with a counter‐item accounted for, net of the related tax effect, in the statement of gains and losses recognized in shareholders' equity.

This item also includes € 0.1 million regarding an investment made during 2012 in Erytech Pharma S.A., a listed French biopharmaceutical company, focused on developing new therapies for rare oncological pathologies and orphan diseases. The investment, originally structured as a non‐interest‐bearing loan, was converted into 431,034 company shares in May 2013. In June 2023, the company announced the merger with Pherecydes Pharma S.A., changing its name to Phaxiam Therapeutics S.A. The new shares were admitted for listing on the regulated French market starting from 29th June 2023. The value of the investment, currently represented by 43,103 shares, was adjusted to the stock exchange value and decreased by € 0.1 million compared to 31st December 2023, with a counter‐item accounted for, net of the related tax effect, in the statement of gains and losses recognized in equity.

11. OTHER NON‐CURRENT ASSETS

At 31st March 2024, this item amounted to € 13.0 million, increasing by € 0.6 million compared to 31st December 2023, and includes the discounted receivable for € 3.7 million in respect of ARS Pharmaceuticals following the signing of the agreement in February 2023 for the return of the rights on ARS‐1, previously recognised under intangible assets.

12. DEFERRED TAX ASSETS

At 31st March 2024, deferred tax liabilities amounted to € 78.2 million, slightly up on the figure at 31st December 2023. The tax effect of comprehensive income statement components is € 1.3 million, as well as at 31st December 2023.

13. CURRENT ASSETS

Inventories amounted to € 398.1 million, down by € 6.8 million compared to 31st December 2023 which also took into account the decrease of € 14.3 million, arising from the allocation of the purchase price for EUSA Pharma to the gross margin of acquired inventories.

Trade receivables amounted to € 504.6 million at 31st March 2024, down by € 59.4 million compared to 31st December 2023, due to higher revenue. The balance is net of the provision for impairments for € 17.1 million, increasing by € 1.4 million compared to 31st December 2023, but in line with the performance of gross receivables. This item is therefore considered consistent with positions which, for the particular nature of the customers or the destination markets, may be difficult to collect. The average number of collection days was 66, compared to 67 at the end of March 2023.

Other receivables at € 76.6 million, decreased by € 22.8 million compared to 31st December 2023, mainly due to the Parent's lower tax credits. This item includes € 7.0 million relating to the short‐term discounted receivable in respect of ARS Pharmaceuticals, following the signing of the agreement in February 2023 for the return of the rights on ARS‐1, previously recognised under intangible assets.

Other current assets were at € 37.7 million and refer mainly to prepaid expenses.

14. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE (included in current assets)

At 31st March 2024, the value of derivative instruments included under this item amounted to € 12.7 million.

The measurement at market (fair value) of cross currency swaps entered into by the Parent Company to hedge the US\$ 75 million loan issued on 30th September 2014 gave rise to a € 7.2 million asset at 31st March 2024. This amount represents the potential benefit of a lower value in euro of the future dollar denominated principal and interest flows, in view of the revaluation of the foreign currency with respect to the moment in which the loan and hedging instruments were negotiated. In particular, the change in fair value of the derivative hedging the US\$ 50 million tranche of the loan, provided by Mediobanca, was positive for € 4.2 million, and that hedging the US\$ 25 million tranche of the loan, provided by UniCredit, yielded a € 3.0 million positive change.

The measurement at market (fair) value of the interest rate swaps hedging a number of loans gave rise to total assets of € 4.0 million, representing the opportunity of paying in the future, for the term of the loans, the agreed interest rates rather than the variable rates currently expected. The amount relates to the interest rate swaps entered into by the Parent Company to hedge the interest rates on loans with lender consortia in 2023 (€ 0.7 million) and in 2022 (€ 3.3 million).

At 31st March 2024, other hedging transactions were in place on foreign currency positions, the measurement of which was positive for € 1.5 million against an essentially nil balance at 31st December 2023, with the difference recognized to the income statement and offsetting the exchange losses arising from the valuation of the underlying positions at current exchange rates.

The fair value of these hedging derivatives is measured at level 2 of the hierarchy provided for in the IFRS 13 accounting standard. The fair value is equal to the current value of the estimated future cash flows. Estimates of future floating‐rate cash flows are based on quoted swap rates futures prices and interbank borrowing rates. Estimated cash flows are discounted using a yield curve which reflects the relevant benchmark interbank rate used by market participants for pricing interest rate swaps.

15. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

At 31st March 2024, the balance of this item amounted to € 294.7 million, increasing by € 72.8 million on 31st December 2023, and are mainly denominated in euro, US dollars, pounds sterling and comprise current account deposits and short‐term time deposits.

16. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Shareholders' Equity at 31st March 2024 was € 1,817.6 million, an increase of € 131.2 million compared to that at 31st December 2023 for the following reasons:

  • increase of € 123.6 million from net income;
  • increase of € 2.8 million from cost of stock option and performance shares plans set‐off directly in equity;
  • decrease of € 12.0 million from the purchase of 235,019 treasury shares;
  • increase of € 16.5 million from the disposal of 590,250 treasury shares to service the stock option plans;
  • increase of € 2.1 million from the recognition of cross currency swaps, the underlying loans and interest rate swaps, hedged foreign currency loans and interest rate swap transactions, net of the relative tax effect;
  • increase of € 3.4 million from the application of IFRS 9, almost entirely due to the change in fair value of the equity investment in PureTech Health plc and in Phaxiam Therapeutics S.A., net of the relative tax effect;
  • decrease of € 23.6 million for foreign currency translation adjustments;
  • increase of € 18.4 million from other changes, of which € 18.2 million attributable to the effects of application of IAS 29 in Türkiye.

At 31st March 2024, the Company has three stock option plans benefiting certain Group employees: the 2014‐ 2018 plan with the grant on 13th April 2016, the 2018‐2022 plan, with the grant of 3rd August 2018, and the 2021‐2023 plan with the grants of 6th May 2021, 1st December 2021 and 24th February 2022. The strike price for the options is the average of the Parent Company's listed share price during the 30 days prior to the grant date. The options are vested over a period of five years, over four tranches starting from the second year, in the case of the less recent grants and three years for the 2021 and 2022 grants, payable in a single tranche. They expire if they are not exercised within the eighth year after the grant date. Options cannot be exercised if the employee leaves the Company before they are vested. Over the course of the first six months of 2023, the 2021‐2023 plan was revoked, limited to the allocation of options envisaged for 2023 pursuant to said plan, without prejudice, therefore, to the validity and effectiveness of the plan for the allocation of options carried out in 2021 and 2022.

Stock options outstanding at 31st March 2024 are detailed in the following table:

At 31st March 2024, 2,763,813 treasury shares were held in the portfolio, a decrease of 355,231 shares compared to 31st December 2023. The change was due to the disposal of 590,250 shares for an amount of € 16.5 million to enable the options attributed to employees as part of the stock option plans to be exercised and to the purchase of 235,019 shares for an amount of € 12.0 million. The total cost to purchase the treasury shares in the portfolio was € 115.6 million, with an average unit price of € 41.82.

Starting in 2019, some Group employees were designated as beneficiaries of an incentive plan with a 5‐year vesting period, granted and entirely funded by Rossini Luxembourg S.à r.l., an indirect shareholder of Recordati S.p.A., and will benefit from a return at the expiry of the plan term if they have met a number of performance conditions. The measurement according to the accounting standard IFRS 2 led to an expense in the first quarter 2024 income statement of € 0.4 million, which also includes the incentive plan granted by Rossini Luxembourg S.à r.l. to the Chief Executive Officer of the Recordati Group.

In the first half of 2023, the Parent Company adopted a new long‐term incentive plan called "2023‐2025 Performance Shares Plan", benefiting certain Group employees. The plan provides for three grants of rights to receive Company shares free of charge, one for each year covered by the plan. On 27th June 2023, the grant envisaged for the first year was carried out for a total of 440,485 rights, which, following a vesting period of three years, will allow recipients to receive shares of the Parent Company up to an amount of 175% of the amount originally granted, based on the trend of certain performance indicators. However, these rights will expire if the employee leaves the Company before they are vested. The cost pertaining the period, determined based on IFRS 2, amounted to € 1.5 million.

17. LOANS

At 31st March 2024, loans amounted to € 1,701.0 million, increasing by a net € 8.9 million compared to 31st December 2023.

This item includes the liabilities deriving from the application of the IFRS 16 accounting standard, representing the obligation to make the payments provided for in the existing leases for a total amount of € 37.4 million, a net decrease of € 0.4 million compared to 31st December 2023.

During the first quarter of 2024, loan liabilities increased by € 73.4 million: € 69.7 million from opening new bank loans and € 3.7 million relating to new lease contracts. Repayments over the year totalled € 80.4 million, of which € 76.8 were for bank loan repayments and € 3.6 million for lease liabilities.

The effect of the translation of loans in foreign currencies and of expenses incurred to place the loans, together with the early termination of a number of leases, determined a total net decrease of € 1.9 million compared to 31st December 2023.

The main loans outstanding are:

  • a) Loan for € 70.0 million taken out by the Parent Company on 1st March 2024 with HSBC Continental Europe at a variable interest rate at the six‐month Euribor (with a zero floor), plus a variable spread based on a step up/step down mechanism on changes in the Leverage Ratio, and a five‐year term with semi‐annual repayment of the principal starting 31st March 2025, and final instalment on 29th February 2029.

It was partially hedged with interest rate swaps, qualifying as cash flow hedge, effectively converting the hedged portion to a fixed interest rate. At 31st March 2024, the fair value of the derivatives was measured as a positive € 0.7 million, which was recognized directly as an increase in equity and as an increase in the asset item "Derivative instruments measured at fair value" (see Note 14); in other cases, this was measured as a negative for a total amount of € 0.7 million, recognized directly as a decrease in equity and as an increase in the liability item "Derivative instruments measured at fair value" (see Note 21). The loan for € 100.0 million consists of a Capex Line that can be used to fund specific investments, guaranteed for 18 months and yet to be used, with semi‐annual repayments on a straight‐ line basis starting from October 2025 for the principal half and May 2028 for the remaining half.

18. PROVISIONS FOR EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The balance at 31st December 2024 amounted to € 22.0 million, slightly up on 31st December 2023, and reflects the Group's liability towards its employees determined in accordance with IAS 19.

19. DEFERRED TAX LIABILITIES

At 31st March 2024, deferred tax liabilities amounted to € 139.9 million, down by € 4.3 million compared to 31st December 2023. The tax effect of comprehensive income statement components is € 1.1 million (€ 0.5 million at 31st December 2023).

20. CURRENT LIABILITIES

Trade payables at € 288.4 million, included the accrual for invoices to be received.

Other liabilities amounted to € 172.6 million, decreasing by € 1.8 million compared to 31st December 2023, and mainly include:

  • € 75.3 million due to employees and social security institutions;

  • € 3.7 million related to the acquisition of a further 10% of the capital of Opalia Pharma determined on the basis of the put and call options provided for in the contract. The fair value of this purchase option is measured at level 2 as the valuation model considers the present value of the expected payments.

Tax liabilities amounted to € 77.0 million, increasing by € 9.9 million compared to 31st December 2023.

Other current liabilities amounted to € 4.6 million, down by € 0.7 million compared to 31st December 2023. An amount of € 2.6 million is attributable to the adoption of the IFRS 15 accounting principle, based on which some deferred revenue is recognized in the income statement in variable instalments based on the fulfilment of the conditions for revenue recognition.

The provisions for risks and charges amounted to € 15.2 million, down by € 1.4 million compared to 31st December 2023.

21. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE (included in current liabilities)

At 31st March 2024, the value of derivative instruments included under this item amounted to € 10.0 million.

In October 2019, Recordati S.p.A. entered into forward exchange contracts to hedge the intercompany loan granted to Recordati AG for an amount of 228.9 million Swiss francs. The measurement of the derivative at 31st March 2024 on the outstanding loan of 73.3 million Swiss francs was a negative for € 8.7 million compared to the € 12.9 million at 31st December 2023, with the difference recognized in the income statement, offsetting the exchange losses determined by the valuation of the underlying loan at current exchange rates.

The measurement at market (fair) value at 31st March 2024 of the interest rate swaps hedging a number of loans gave rise to a total € 0.9 million liability, which represents the unrealized need of paying in the future, for the term of the loans, the variable rates currently expected instead of the rates agreed. The amount relates to the interest rate swaps entered into by the Parent Company to hedge the interest rates on loans with lender consortia in 2023 (€ 0.7 million) and in 2022 (€ 0.2 million).

At 31st March 2024, other hedging transactions were in place on foreign currency positions, the measurement of which was negative for € 0.4 million compared to the € 3.9 million at 31st December 2023, with the difference recognized to the income statement and offsetting the exchange losses arising from the valuation of the underlying positions at current exchange rates.

The fair value of these hedging derivatives is measured at level 2 of the hierarchy provided for in the accounting standard IFRS 13 (see note 2). The fair value is equal to the current value of the estimated future cash flows. Estimates of future floating‐rate cash flows are based on quoted swap rates futures prices and interbank borrowing rates. Estimated cash flows are discounted using a yield curve which reflects the relevant benchmark interbank rate used by market participants for pricing interest rate swaps.

22. SHORT‐TERM DEBTS TO BANKS AND OTHER LENDERS

Short‐term debts to banks and other lenders at 31st March 2024 were € 34.1 million and comprise temporary use of short‐term credit lines, overdrafts of a number of foreign associates and interest due on existing loans.

On 1st March 2024, the Parent Company renewed the revolving credit line with UniCredit, with a maximum term of 12 months and for a maximum amount of € 24 million. This credit line, which had not been used at 31st March 2024, is a short‐term financing instrument providing financial flexibility, combining irrevocability with variability of use based on specific financial requirements.

* Includes pharmaceutical chemical operations. ** Amounts not allocated refer to the items other equity investments and securities, cash and cash equivalents, loans, derivative instruments and short‐term debts to banks and other lenders.

The pharmaceutical chemical business is considered part of the Specialty & Primary Care segment as it is mainly engaged in the production of active ingredients for finished pharmaceutical products, both from a strategic and organizational point of view.

24. LITIGATION AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Parent Company and some subsidiaries are parties to minor legal actions and disputes, the outcomes of which are not expected to result in any liability. The potential liabilities that can currently be measured are not for significant amounts. Some license agreements require the payment of future milestones as certain conditions ‐ whose fulfilment is yet uncertain ‐ occur, with the consequence that the contractually required payments, estimated at around € 41 million, are merely potential at the moment.

25. RELATED‐PARTY TRANSACTIONS

At 31st March 2024, the Group's immediate parent is Rossini S.à r.l., with headquarters in Luxembourg, which is owned by a consortium of investment funds controlled by CVC Capital Partners VII Limited.

To our knowledge, no transactions or contracts have been entered into with related parties that can be

considered significant in terms of value or conditions, or which could in any way materially affect the accounts.

26. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

At the date of preparation of the financial statements, no significant events had occurred subsequent to the close of the period that would require changes to the values of assets, liabilities or the income statement.
