Milan, 22 April 2024 - The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of Recordati S.p.A. was held today, which among others approved the Company's 2023 Financial Statements, as proposed by the Board of Directors. The annexed tables provide a summary of the results of the 2023 Financial Statements as previously illustrated in the press release of 19 March 2024. In 2023 consolidated net revenue was € 2,082.3 million, +12.4% compared to 2022 or +14.0% on a like-for-like(1) basis at constant exchange rates (+9.6% excluding Türkiye). EBITDA(2) rose to € 769.6 million, up 14.4% over 2022, with a margin of 37.0%,. Net Income at € 389.2, at 18.7% of net revenue, was up 24.6% over the previous year and Adjusted Net Income (3) , reached € 524.6 million, growing 10.8% over last year.

Based on the proposal of the Board of Directors, the Shareholders' Meeting further resolved a dividend to shareholders of € 0.63 per share, in full balance of the interim 2023 dividend of € 0.57, for all shares outstanding at the ex-dividend date, excluding treasury shares in the portfolio at that date (payment on 22 May 2024 and record date 21 May 2024), with ex-dividend on 20 May 2024 (against presentation of coupon no. 33). The full 2023 dividend is therefore € 1.20 per share (€ 1.15 per share in 2022).

Additional significant resolutions

Remuneration policy for 2024 and report on fees paid in 2023

The Shareholders' Meeting expressed a favourable vote on the Remuneration Policy for 2024 pursuant to Art. 123-ter of Legislative Decree 58/98 and favourable note was taken of the report on the compensation paid in relation to the implementation, in 2023, of the policy approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of 21 April 2023, both of which are contained in the Remuneration Report available on the Company website.

(i) fulfilling the obligations arising from the stock option and/or financial instruments (performance shares) based plans already adopted by the Company and other incentive plans which may be approved in the future;

(ii) supporting business initiatives, since the authorisation to purchase treasury stock, if granted, will allow transactions such as the sale, contribution and exchange of treasury stock in order to acquire stakes in companies and/or to reach agreements with strategic partners within the Group's expansion objectives;

(iii) supporting the Recordati's shares liquidity, in order to promote the regular course of the shares' negotiations and avoid price fluctuations inconsistent with the market trend.

The maximum of number of shares available for purchase is 3,500,000 and, in any case, on the condition that, at any time, the total face value of the treasury stock held by the Company never exceeds one fifth of the share capital, also considering the shares that may be held by the subsidiaries, for a potential maximum outlay of € 200,000,000, with a minimum consideration not less than the face value of the Recordati share (€ 0.125) and a maximum consideration not greater than the average of the official stock exchange prices in the five sessions prior to the purchase, plus 5%. Purchases, if any, may be completed through the assignment of specific positions to specialised intermediaries and must be performed in compliance with applicable law and according to the practices permitted by Consob in line with the provisions of art. 13 of EU Regulation 596/2014, where applicable.

At 19 April 2024, the Company has 2,758,646 shares in treasury stock, which amounts to 1.3% of the current share capital.

First quarter 2024

Revenue for Q1 was €607.8 million, +10.2% vs Q1 2023, or +10.9% excluding revenue contribution from Avodart®/Combodart® of €27.5 million and at constant exchange rate; this reflects a strong start of the year for both business units and phasing patterns in Türkiye and International business similar to Q1 2023; adverse FX impact in Q1 of €31.2 million (mostly on Türkish Lira, offset by price inflation). Recordati's full disclosure of the financial results for the first quarter of 2024 will be published on 9 May 2024.
