The first quarter of 2023 was characterised by very strong sales, with consolidated net revenue at € 551.4 million, increasing by 31.5% compared to the first quarter the previous year or +21.0% on a like‐for‐like basis1 and at constant exchange rates, with a slightly adverse currency exchange rate effect of € 2.7 million (‐0.6%). This result was achieved thanks to an excellent performance across all business areas and the successful integration of EUSA Pharma, which contributed € 47.7 million to revenue in the quarter.
Our portfolio of Specialty and Primary Care products contributed significantly to growth, outperforming the main reference markets and benefiting from several extraordinary factors, such as favourable channel stock

movements in Russia and Türkiye and the advance ordering of lercanidipine by some international distributors, factors which contributed a total of around €15‐20 million in sales over the quarter; the performance also reflected an exceptional growth in cough and cold products, which significantly surpassed pre‐pandemic levels. Sales in the rare diseases segment for the first quarter of 2023 totalled € 174.7 million, up by 64.7% (or 20.9% on a like‐for‐like basis), thanks to the integration of the oncology products acquired with EUSA Pharma (which grew by 24.2 % on a pro‐forma basis) and continued growth in sales for Signifor® and Isturisa® (totalling € 55.3 million, up by 44.7%). Sales also increased for Panhematin® and Cystadrops® and other products in the metabolics portfolio, particularly in the US, with limited erosion in the quarter by the generic products that recently came onto the US market.
Revenue performance led to an increase in operating results and profits compared to the same period of last year, with EBITDA at € 220.8 million, up by 35.4% compared to the first quarter in 2022 and a 40.0% ratio to revenue, reflecting the operational leverage benefit and previously announced efficiency initiatives; we expect a gradual ramp up in research and development activities in the rest of the year.
Adjusted operating income of € 186.6 million increased by 34.8% compared to the same period the previous year, with a ratio to revenue of 33.8%, reflecting the sharp increase in revenue, partially offset by the recovery of operating assets in the area, investments to support growth for new franchises and greater amortisation of intangible assets of € 8.6 million, resulting from the consolidation of EUSA Pharma in the second quarter of 2022. Operating income was € 172.6 million, up by 31.5% compared to the same period the previous year; this result, in addition to the impact of costs deriving from the fair value revaluation of the inventory acquired with EUSA Pharma, was also impacted by non‐recurring costs of € 2.8 million attributable to the organisational restructuring of the Specialty and Primary Care sales area.
Adjusted net income was € 155.0 million, at 28.1% of revenue, up by 33.3% compared to the same period in 2022 due to higher operating income. This was attributable to the increase in operating income and including net financial charges for € 12.6 million, up by € 5.7 million compared to the same period the previous year due to the new loans taken out during 2022 and higher interest rates. Net income was € 124.0 million, at 22.5% of revenue, up by 28.2% compared to the same period of the previous year.
Results reflect the application of accounting standards for economies with hyperinflation (IAS 29 and specific arrangements of IAS 21) to activities in Türkiye, the effect of which is substantially neutral in terms of revenues and slightly dilutive on margins, with a reduction in EBITDA of € 2.6 million.
The net financial position at 31 March 2023 recorded net debt of € 1,339.6 million compared to net debt of € 1,419.9 million at 31 December 2022. During the period, treasury shares were purchased for € 4.1 million, net of sales proceeds from exercising stock options, and dividends were paid for € 6.1 million, with shareholders requesting a postponement in this regard. Free cash flow for the period, i.e. operating cash flow gross of these effects and the financial components, was € 103.4 million, slightly down on the first quarter in 2022 absorbing a € 77.9 million increase in working capital resulting from the significant increase in sales, versus a working capital increase of € 28.4 million in the first quarter 2022.
Shareholders' equity was € 1,654.5 million.
The development plan for pasireotide in the treatment of post‐bariatric hypoglycaemia is proceeding well. Interaction with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has made it possible to integrate the recommendations from the American regulatory authority into the formulation of a phase two study, which is expected to start during the third quarter of 2023.
In the scope of the development strategy aimed at obtaining FDA approval for a Biologics License Application (BLA) to register Qarziba® in the United States, preparations are underway for a Type C Meeting with the FDA, scheduled for the third quarter of 2023.
Patient enrolment in the global phase II study in neurotrophic keratitis for REC 0559 is proceeding according to plan, with data read out expected in the second quarter of 2024.
Finally, Carbaglu® has been filed in China, preparing for possible launch early 2024.
In February, an agreement was finalised with ARS Pharmaceuticals to return the license for ARS‐1, a nasal spray containing epinephrine, at an advanced stage of development, for emergency treatment of serious allergic reactions. Upon signing the agreement, € 3.0 million was collected, with another € 12.0 million to be received once certain conditions relating to the drug's approval and marketing are met, which were recognised at a discounted rate under receivables.
The Group's business involves two segments: Specialty and Primary Care medicines, and treatments for rare diseases. Business is conducted through our subsidiaries in Europe, Russia, Türkiye, North Africa, the Middle East, the United States of America, Canada, Mexico, and in certain South American countries, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, China and South Korea and, in the rest of the world, based on licensing agreements with leading pharmaceutical companies.
As already mentioned, total consolidated net revenue for the Group in the first quarter of 2023 was € 551.4 million, compared to € 419.4 million in the first quarter of the previous year (+31.5% or +21.0% on a like‐for‐like basis and at constant exchange rate) and included the net revenue for EUSA Pharma, amounting to € 47.7 million, with pro‐forma growth of 24.2% of the portfolio acquired. Growth was sustained in both of the Group's main business areas, benefiting in part also from some phasing benefits which contributed around € 15‐20 million to sales over the quarter.
The table below shows revenue for the Specialty and Primary Care segment in the first quarter of 2023, broken down by treatment area, with the change compared to the previous year.

Performance was very positive for the quarter, reflecting solid growth in volumes across all segments, with higher growth than the reference markets — with an exceptionally high season for cough and cold products and the effect of significant pricing increases in Türkiye. Sales further benefited from the advance ordering by certain international distributors and stock movements in the Türkiye and Russia channels.
As further described below, lercanidipine drove growth in the cardiovascular segment, thanks also to the timing of shipments to international distributors, with metoprolol and pitavastatin essentially stable.
Growth in the urology area was driven by the ongoing strong performance of Eligard® — with increases in most markets that were higher than the main competitors — and increased sales of silodosin (mainly in Türkiye).
The gastrointestinal area continued to record strong growth, driven primarily by Reuflor® and Procto‐Glyvenol®.
Sales of seasonal flu products were significantly higher than pre‐pandemic levels, reflecting the strong growth in most markets of both our prescription and OTC portfolio and the benefits of restocking the channel in Russia.
Sales of pharmaceutical chemicals, which comprise active substances produced in the Campoverde di Aprilia plant in Italy for the international pharmaceutical industry, were at € 14.9 million, up by 15.3%, attributable also to the higher prices, representing 2.7% of total revenue.

Zanidip® is a specialty containing lercanidipine, Recordati's original calcium channel blocker for the treatment of hypertension. Our lercanidipine‐based products are sold directly to the market by our marketing organizations in Europe, including Central ‐Eastern Europe, Russia, Türkiye and North Africa. In the other countries and in some of the countries mentioned above with co‐marketing agreements, they are sold by our licensees.
Zanipress® is an original pharmaceutical specialty developed by Recordati, indicated for the treatment of hypertension, consisting of a fixed combination of lercanidipine and enalapril.
The table below shows the aggregated sales for the two specialties, divided into direct sales and sales to licensees.

Direct sales of lercanidipine were at € 21.8 million, up by 18.0%, mainly attributable to good results in the United Kingdom, Germany and Türkiye. Sales to licensees, on the other hand, representing 53.5% of the total, totalled € 25.1 million, growing by 67.0% due to higher sales of the active ingredient in Germany and central‐eastern Europe and the different timing for the sale of finished goods to various distributors compared to the first quarter of 2022.
Sales of Zanipress® in the first quarter in 2023 were € 9.9 million, essentially in line with the same period the previous year, with direct sales of € 8.8 million increasing by 1.8%, mainly attributable to increased sales in Türkiye (supported by price increases) and in Italy.
Revenue for Eligard® in the first quarter of 2023 was € 28.5 million, up by 18.9% compared to the same period the previous year, with growth in all the main markets (also in terms of their competitive positioning). Of note is the growth in sales in Türkiye (also benefiting from price increases), Germany and Denmark.
Sales of Seloken®/Seloken® ZOK (metoprolol) and Logimax® fixed dose combination (metoprolol and felodipine), metoprolol‐based specialties belonging to the beta blocker class of drugs widely used in the treatment of various cardiovascular disorders, were at € 24.4 million in the first quarter of 2023, in line with the same period the previous year (+1.4%), with lower volumes recorded in Poland, Norway and Lithuania, which were offset to a significant extent by growth in Romania, France, Germany and the Czech Republic.
Urorec® (silodosin) is a specialty indicated for the treatment of symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The product is currently marketed in 41 countries. Sales for € 18.8 million were recorded in the first quarter of 2023, growing by 28.5% mainly in Türkiye (thanks also to price increases), Russia and Italy.
Livazo® (pitavastatin) is a statin indicated to lower elevated total and LDL cholesterol and sold directly in Spain, Portugal, Ukraine, Greece, Switzerland, Russia, other C.I.S. countries and Türkiye. Sales were at € 12.8 million in the first quarter of 2023, up by 5.9%, attributable mainly to the price increases in Türkiye, which was partially offset by a decline in sales to international distributors.
Growth in silodosin and pitavastatin once again confirmed the Group's ability to effectively manage mature products after the loss of exclusivity.
In the first quarter of 2023, sales of other corporate products totalled € 92.5 million, up by 27.9% over the same period the previous year, mainly due to the recovery in seasonal flu products — such as Polydexa®, Hexaspray®, Isofra® and Abufene®, Reagila® (cariprazine), Tergynan® (fixed combination of anti‐infectives) — and in OTC products — the Biogaia®, Reuflor®/Reuteri® (lactobacillus Reuteri) lines and Procto‐Glyvenol® (tribenoside) — as well as gastroenterological products — such as CitraFleet®, Casenlax®, Fleet enema, Fosfosoda® and Lacdigest® (tilactase).
As shown in the table below, in the first quarter of 2023, sales of our specialties 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 € 174.7 million, up by 64.7% (or 20.9% on a like‐for‐like basis), thanks to the integration of the oncology products acquired with EUSA Pharma and the continued growth of sales of Signifor® and Isturisa® (for a total of € 55.3 million, up by 44.7%), but also of Panhematin®, Cystadrops®, with limited erosion of metabolic products from recent generic entries in US. The net revenue related to the acquisition of EUSA Pharma and consolidated in the Group as from April 2022, amounted to € 47.7 million, with an increase of 24.2% (on a pro‐forma basis) in the first three months of 2023 compared to the same period of the previous year.

Net revenue in Russia excludes sales of rare disease products.
Sales of pharmaceutical specialties in Italy were at € 80.5 million, increasing by 7.8% compared to the same period of the previous year. This was primarily due to the recovery in prescription seasonal flu medicines, the continued growth in OTC products, particularly Magnesio Supremo® and Eumill®, and to growth in sales in products for the treatment of rare diseases for € 6.7 million, up by 29.1%; to note the approved reimbursement of Isturisa® as of January 2023.
The Group's pharmaceutical business in the U.S.A., which is confirmed as the second market for the Group, is dedicated to marketing products for the treatment of rare diseases. Sales were at € 77.3 million in the first quarter of 2023, up by 47.0%. In local currency, sales grew by 40.6%. Growth was generated by endocrinology products (Signifor®, Signifor® LAR, Isturisa®) and the addition of the oncology portfolio, together with solid growth of products for metabolic disorders (mainly Panhematin® and Cystadrops®).
Sales in France, at € 49.1 million, were up by 21.4%, benefiting from the strong growth in seasonal flu products (specifically the Hexa line and OTC) and cardiovascular medications, with Reselip®. Sales of methadone also recovered. Sales of products for the treatment of rare diseases amounted to € 9.6 million, up by 15.4%.
Sales in Germany were at € 41.9 million and increased by 9.5% thanks to significant growth in the sales of products for the treatment of rare diseases for € 11.1 million (+87.4%) and the positive contribution of Eligard®, which more than offset the decline recorded for Ortoton®.
Sales generated in Russia, Ukraine and in the countries within the Commonwealth of Independent States (C.I.S.) were € 43.3 million, up by 87.3% compared to the same period of the previous year, and include an estimated positive exchange rate effect of € 5.0 million. Revenue realized in Russia was RUB 2,313.6 million in local currency, up by 42.0% over the same period of the previous year. The increase in sales to Russia is attributable to the strong uptake in cough and cold pathologies and the recovery in inventory levels in the distribution channel to more normal levels, as well as the benefit of price increases introduced mainly over the course of 2022. Sales of products for the treatment of rare diseases in this area amounted to € 7.2 million (compared to € 0.5 million in the same period the previous year), thanks to the significant contribution of the EUSA Pharma portfolio of products.
Sales in Türkiye were at € 33.1 million, up by 125.0%, and included an adverse currency exchange effect estimated at € 10.0 million. Sales for the subsidiary in Türkiye increased in local currency by 209.9% thanks to the general recovery in volume growth of our portfolio (Kreval®, Mictonorm®, Alipza®, Cabral®, Urorec®) and the contribution from Eligard®, combined with the effect of multiple waves of price increases (the most recent in January 2023), which were granted to offset the devaluation of the Turkish lira. Given the timing of the price increases on the market, growth for the quarter also benefited from some channel stock movements. Sales of products for the treatment of rare diseases amounted to € 0.7 million, and were in line with the same period the previous year. The effect of applying IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" to activities in Türkiye determined a positive effect on sales revenue of € 0.9 million. Currently, thanks to expansionary policies adopted by the Government in the run up to the local elections, no easing is expected in demand despite the earthquake that affected a significant section of the country.
Sales for € 36.0 million were recorded in Spain, up by 8.1%, mainly due to the growth in the sales of products for the treatment of rare diseases, amounting to € 6.9 million, increasing by 81.8%.
Sales in Portugal were at € 15.6 million, up by 26.9% for prescription medications (mainly Eligard®, Reagila® , and gastrointestinal products) and OTC products. Sales of products for the treatment of rare diseases amounted to € 1.5 million (+160.1% compared to the first quarter of 2022).
Sales in other Central and Eastern European countries, at € 36.1 million, include the sales from Recordati subsidiaries in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria and the Baltic countries, in addition to sales of rare disease treatments in this area, as well as in Hungary. In the first quarter of 2023, overall sales increased by 19.1% thanks to growth in OTC products and metoprolol and the contribution from Eligard®. Sales of products for the treatment of rare diseases in this area, amounting to € 7.0 million, increased by 118.6% compared to the first quarter of 2022 thanks above all to the significant contribution of sales of products for rare tumors acquired with EUSA Pharma and the growth in endocrinology products.
Sales in other countries in Western Europe were € 37.5 million, up 47.0% thanks to the growth of Eligard® and lercanidipine, as well as EUSA Pharma oncology products contribution. They include sales of products for rare diseases and Specialty and Primary Care products from the Recordati subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Greece, Switzerland, Nordic countries (Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Iceland) and in BeNelux. Sales of products for the treatment of rare diseases in this area, equal to € 15.3 million, were up by 118.7% thanks to the contribution of the new EUSA Pharma products.
Sales in North Africa were at € 10.4 million, in line with the same period 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 2023 were up by 9.4%.
Other international sales, for € 75.7 million, were up by 48.1% compared to the same period the preceding year and comprise sales and other revenue from our licensees for our 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. The rise in sales was supported by all areas and has benefited from sales of the rare cancer products acquired with EUSA Pharma and phasing of orders of lercanidipine by international distributors.

Net revenue amounted to € 551.4 million, up by € 132.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2022. For a detailed analysis, please refer to the previous chapter "Review of Operations".
Given the materiality of the non‐monetary adjustments originating from the application of IFRS 3 for the allocation of the higher price paid for the acquisition of EUSA Pharma, starting in the second quarter of 2022, two new figures were added: Adjusted gross profit and adjusted operating income. Both were adjusted for the impact resulting from the application of IFRS 3 regarding the inventories acquired from EUSA Pharma, and referring to
adjusted operating income as well for the other non‐recurring items.
Gross profit was € 387.7 million, with a 70.3% ratio to sales, increasing by 27.6% compared to the first quarter in 2022. Net of the impact of the € 11.2 million arising from the application of IFRS 3 on EUSA Pharma warehouse inventories, adjusted gross profit was € 398.9 million, up by 31.3%, with a sales margin that was essentially in line with the previous year.
Selling expenses increased by 20.2%, reflecting also the consolidation of EUSA Pharma. Expenses as a percentage of revenue came down compared to the same period of the previous year thanks to the strong revenue performance and to the benefits deriving from the efficiency measures implemented in 2022.
Research and development expenses were € 60.5 million, an increase of 38.4% compared to those in the first quarter of the previous year owing to the integration of the EUSA Pharma expenses (including € 6.4 million of amortization of intangible fixed assets).
General and administrative expenses increased by 38.7% owing to the integration of EUSA Pharma and the strengthening of the general coordination structure to support an increasingly complex portfolio.
Other income and expenses amounted to € 4.3 million, compared to € 7.2 million in the first quarter of 2022, which includes costs for € 2.3 million for the restructuring associated with right sizing the Specialty and Primary Care sales area, specifically in Germany and France.
Adjusted operating income (net income before income taxes, financial income and expenses and non‐recurring items, 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 € 186.6 million, up by 34.8% compared to the first quarter of 2022, accounting for 33.8% of sales, reflecting the strong increase in revenue, partially offset by the recovery of operating activities, investments to support the growth of new franchises and greater amortisation of intangible assets, totalling € 8.6 million. Operating income was € 172.6 million, up by 31.5% compared to the same period the previous year. In addition to the impact of costs deriving from the fair value revaluation of the inventory acquired with EUSA Pharma, there were also non‐recurring costs of € 2.8 million.
Total amortisation amounted to € 34.2 million, of which € 27.2 million related to intangible assets, up by € 8.6 million over the first quarter of the previous year, attributable mostly to consolidation of EUSA Pharma as from the second quarter of 2022, and € 7.0 million relating to property, plant and equipment, up by € 1.0 million over the same period the previous year.
EBITDA* at € 220.8 million, was up 35.4% compared to the first quarter of 2022, accounting for 40.0% of revenue.

Net financial expenses amounted to € 12.6 million, up by € 5.7 million compared to the same period the previous year, mainly due to the effect of the new loans taken out during 2022. Net exchange gains over the period amounted to € 0.6 million, against net losses of € 1.6 million in the first quarter of 2022, and the impacts of hyperinflation were positive for € 0.9 million.
The effective tax rate was 22.5%, which was slightly higher than the same period of the previous year. 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 amount of € 2.7 million.
Net income was € 124.0 million, at 22.5% of revenue, up by 28.2% compared to the same period of the previous year due to higher operating income.
Adjusted net income was € 155.0 million, up by 33.3%, and excludes amortization and write‐downs of intangible assets (except software) and goodwill for a total amount of € 26.4 million, charges from non‐recurring items of € 2.8 million, non‐cash charges arising from the allocation of the purchase price of EUSA Pharma to the gross margin of acquired inventory of € 11.2 million, and net profit from hyperinflation of € 0.8 million (IAS 29), net of tax effects.

The net financial position at 31 March 2023 recorded debt of € 1,339.6 million compared to debt of € 1,419.9 million at 31 December 2022. During the period, treasury shares were purchased for € 4.1 million, net of sales proceeds from exercising stock options, and dividends were paid for € 6.1 million, with shareholders requesting a postponement in this regard. Free cash flow for the period, i.e. operating cash flow gross of these effects and the financial components, was € 103.4 million, slightly down on the first quarter in 2022 following the increase in working capital resulting from the sharp growth in turnover.
At 31 March 2023, 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.
On 21 February, the Company announced the following financial targets for 2023: revenue of between € 1,970 million and € 2,030 million, EBITDA(1) of between € 700 and € 730 million and adjusted net income(2) of between € 470 and € 490 million.
Given the strong business performance, the Company has revised its targets upwards for its full year 2023. The new guidance expects overall revenue of between € 2,050 million and € 2,090 million, EBITDA(1) of between € 750 and € 770 million and adjusted net income(2) of between € 490 and € 500 million.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 31 MARCH 2023
The Interim Report for the Recordati Group for the period ended 31 March 2023 was prepared by Recordati Industria Chimica e Farmaceutica S.p.A. (the "Company" or the "Parent Company"), with headquarters at Via Matteo Civitali no. 1, 20148 Milan, Italy, and was approved by the Board of Directors' on 11 May 2023, which authorized distribution to the public.
The Interim Financial Statements at 31 March 2023 include the economic‐equity position of the Parent Company and all its subsidiaries.
The scope of consolidation did not change in the first quarter of 2023.
The companies included in the scope of consolidation, their percentage of ownership and a description of their activity are set out in Note 28.
These financial statements are presented in euro (€), rounded to thousands of euro, except where indicated otherwise.
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 31 December 2022, prepared in accordance with the IFRSs 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 2023 totalling 6.7% of the Group's total revenue, as well as on the Ukrainian market, with revenue in the first quarter of 2023 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. With reference to the recent earthquake in Türkiye, this is currently not expected to affect demand for the Group's specialty medicines, with a significant increase in sales over the first three months of the year. 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:
Disclosure of the net financial position is included in the section "Management Review" of this Report.
The accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the last annual financial statements.
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.
During the first quarter of 2023, net revenue amounted to € 551.4 million, up compared to the € 419.4 million in the same period during 2022, when the revenue from EUSA Pharma had not yet been consolidated.
Net revenue can be broken down as follows:
| € (thousands) | First quarter 2023 |
First quarter 2022 |
Changes 2023/2022 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net sales | 547,757 | 416,754 | 131,003 |
| Royalties | 2,300 | 1,298 | 1,002 |
| Upfront payments | 486 | 526 | (40) |
| Various revenue | 820 | 803 | 17 |
| Total net revenue | 551,363 | 419,381 | 131,982 |
The effect of applying IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" to activities in Türkiye determined a substantially 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 € 0.5 million recognised in the first quarter of 2023 referred mainly to the marketing agreements for pitavastatin, 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 21), and amounted to € 3.7 million (€ 3.9 million at 31 December 2022).
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.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2023 amounted to € 378.8 million, up compared to the € 288.1 million for the corresponding period the previous year, also as a result of the consolidation of the EUSA Pharma starting from 1 April 2022, and were classified by allocation as follows:

The cost of sales was € 163.7 million, up compared to the first three months of 2022. The ratio to revenue was 29.7%, higher than the 27.5% of the first quarter of 2022. The higher ratio was due mainly to the revaluation of the EUSA Pharma inventories acquired according to accounting standard IFRS 3 provisions, the negative effect on the income statement calculated on the basis of the units sold in the period amounted to € 11.2 million, and to the effect of € 2.9 million for the application of IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" to assets in Türkiye.
Selling expenses increased by 20.2% with regard to the consolidation of EUSA Pharma assets. Expenses as a percentage of revenue came down compared to the same period of the previous year due to a particularly positive revenue performance.
Research and development expenses were € 60.5 million, an increase of 38.4% compared to those in the first quarter of the previous year owing to the integration of the EUSA Pharma expenses (including € 6.4 million of amortization of intangible fixed assets).
General and administrative expenses increased by 38.7% owing to the integration of EUSA Pharma and the strengthening of the general coordination structure to support an increasingly complex portfolio.

First quarter 2022 |
Changes 2023/2022 |
The proportion of raw material consumption to net revenue was 21.0%, essentially in line with the same period in 2022.
The item "Payroll costs" includes € 2.0 million in charges for stock option plans, up by € 1.6 million compared to the same period of the previous year.
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 2023 income statement of € 0.3 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 € 34.2 million, of which € 27.2 million related to intangible assets, up by € 8.6 million over the first quarter of the previous year, attributable mostly to the consolidation of EUSA Pharma as from the second quarter of 2022, and € 7.0 million relating to property, plant and equipment, up by € 1.0 million over the same period the previous year.
The change in "Other expenses" is mainly attributable to higher non‐recurring items and to the non‐cash charges of € 11.2 million arising from the release of the purchase price allocation of EUSA Pharma to the gross margin of acquired inventories pursuant to IFRS 3.
In the first quarter of 2023 and the same period in 2022, the balance of financing items was negative for € 12.6 million and € 7.0 million respectively, with the change referring primarily to the new loans taken out during 2022. Net foreign exchange gains in the period amounted to € 0.6 million, versus net losses of € 1.6 million in the first quarter of 2022, and the impacts of hyperinflation were positive for € 0.9 million. The main balance items are summarized in the table below.

Income taxes amounted to € 36.0 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 for the 2015 to 2019 tax years. As in the previous year, again in tax year 2023, 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 2023, recognized to reduce the tax amounts, as € 2.7 million.

"Other changes" includes the conversion into euro of the property, plant and equipment recognized in different currencies, for a net decrease of € 1.1 million compared to 31 December 2022, primarily due to the devaluation of the Turkish lira.

Increases for the period mainly included € 2.6 million referring to clinical studies that comply with the criteria set by the IAS 38 accounting standard on capitalisation.
"Other changes" included the conversion into euro of the value of the intangible assets held and recognised in different currencies, which determined a net decrease of € 9.1 million compared to 31 December 2022, mainly attributable to the devaluation of the Swiss franc for € 6.8 million and the U.S. dollar for € 1.2 million and the devaluation of the Russian rouble for € 0.9 million.
Goodwill at 31 March 2023 and 31 December 2022 amounted to € 784.5 million and € 780.1 million respectively and changed as follows:

| Balance at 31 December 2022 | 780,057 |
| € (thousands) |
Following the inclusion of Türkiye in the list of countries with hyperinflation as from 2022, the consequent application of accounting standard IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" to assets in
this country and taking into consideration the provisions under IAS 21 "Effects of changes in foreign exchange rates", goodwill associated with the Türkiye cash generating unit was revalued by € 8.5 million.
The exchange rate adjustments are related to the goodwill associated with the acquisitions made in companies with currencies other than the euro. Goodwill calculated in local currency is translated into euro for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements using the year‐end exchange rates. This determined, compared to 31 December 2022, a total net decrease of € 4.0 million attributable to the acquisitions made in Türkiye (decrease of € 3.0 million), Russia (decrease of € 1.0 million), Tunisia (decrease of € 0.3 million), Switzerland (decrease of € 0.1 million) and the Czech Republic (increase of € 0.4 million).
Net goodwill at 31 March 2023, amounting to € 784.5 million, is divided among the following operational areas, which represent the same number of cash‐generating units:
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. In the case of CGU in Türkiye, whose goodwill was written down in 2022 as a result of both the significant revaluation of invested capital (for the application of IAS 29) and the increase in interest rates, in the first quarter of 2023 no indicators were found that would make it necessary to conduct an impairment test earlier than the one required annually. This is also due to a significant increase in revenues, well above forecast expectations, despite a further increase in invested capital in the quarter, again in application of IAS29.
At 31 March 2023, these amounted to € 24.5 million, down by € 4.4 million compared to 31 December 2022.
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 19 June 2015, the shares of the Company were admitted for trading on the London Stock Exchange. At 31 March 2023, the total fair value of the 9,554,140 shares held was € 24.1 million. The value of the investment was consequently adjusted to the stock exchange value and fell by € 4.6 million, compared to 31 December 2022, 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 € 0.4 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. The value of the investment was adjusted to the stock exchange value and increased, compared to that at 31 December 2022, by € 0.2 million, with a counter‐item accounted for, net of the related tax effect, in the statement of gains and losses recognized in equity.
At 31 March 2023, this item amounted to € 17.5 million, increasing by € 8.0 million compared to 31 December 2022, referring mainly to the discounted receivable for € 7.9 million in respect of ARS Pharmaceuticals following the signing of the agreement in February 2023 for the return of the rights on ARS‐1, a nasal spray containing epinephrine, at an advanced development stage, for the emergency treatment of serious allergic reactions (See Note 16).
At 31 March 2023, deferred tax liabilities amounted to € 76.4 million, which was basically aligned to the figure at 31 December 2022. The tax effect of comprehensive income statement components is € 1.2 million (€ 1.3 million at 31 December 2022).
Inventories amounted to € 427.7 million, up by € 3.6 million compared to 31 December 2022 which also took into account the decrease of € 11.2 million, arising from the allocation of the purchase price for EUSA Pharma to the gross margin of acquired inventories.
Trade receivables amounted to € 439.6 million at 31 March 2023, up by € 77.7 million compared to 31 December 2022, due to higher revenue. The balance is less the provision for impairments for € 17.1 million, down by € 0.6 million over 31 December 2022, recognised under selling expenses to reflect the collection risk connected with certain customers and destination markets. Average days sales outstanding are 67.
Other receivables at € 48.6 million, decreased by € 15.3 million compared to 31 December 2022, mainly due to the Parent's lower tax credits. This item includes € 1.8 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 (See Note 16).
Other current assets were at € 27.2 million and refer mainly to prepaid expenses.
At 31 March 2023, the value of derivative instruments included under this item amounted to € 16.9 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 30 September 2014 gave rise to a € 9.9 million asset at 31 March 2023. 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 for the derivative hedging of the US\$ 50 million tranche of the loan, with a residual debt of US\$ 35 million at 31 March 2023, provided by Mediobanca, was positive for € 6.0 million, and hedging the US\$ 25 million tranche of the loan with a residual debt of \$ 23.2 million at 31 March 2023, provided by UniCredit, yielded a € 3.9 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 € 6.8 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 measurement relates to the interest rate swaps entered into by the Parent Company to hedge the interest rates on the syndicated loan finalized in the first half of 2022 (€ 6.0 million) and the loan with Mediobanca (€ 0.8 million).
At 31 March 2023, other hedging transactions were in place on foreign currency positions, the measurement of which was positive for € 0.2 million against € 4.2 million at 31 December 2022, 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.
At 31 March 2023, the balance of this item amounted to € 231.3 million, decreasing by € 53.4 million on 31 December 2022, and are mainly denominated in euro, US dollars, pounds sterling and comprise current account deposits and short‐term time deposits.
At 31 December 2022, this item was recognised for € 12.5 million as the estimated discounted recoverable value of the milestone for € 15.0 million paid to ARS Pharmaceuticals for the ARS‐1 license, following the start of negotiations to return the product rights. An agreement was reached between the parties in February 2023, resulting in a collection of € 3.0 million, and the reclassification of the discounted recoverable value under receivables, with the consequent zero balance under this item.
Shareholders' Equity at 31 March 2023 was € 1,654.5 million, an increase of € 108.2 million compared to that at 31 December 2022 for the following reasons:
• increase of € 14.1 million from other changes, of which € 13.8 million attributable to the effects of application of IAS 29 in Türkiye.
At 31 March 2023, the Company has three stock option plans benefiting certain Group employees: the 2014‐ 2018 plan with the grant on 13 April 2016, the 2018‐2022 plan, with the grant of 3 August 2018, and the 2021‐2023 plan with the grants of 6 May 2021, 1 December 2021 and 24 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.

Stock options outstanding at 31 March 2023 are detailed in the following table:
At 31 March 2023, 3,767,052 treasury shares were held in the portfolio, an increase of 83,019 shares compared to 31 December 2022. The change was due to the disposal of 82,500 shares for an amount of € 2.4 million to enable the options attributed to employees as part of the stock option plans to be exercised and to the purchase of 165,519 shares for an amount of € 6.5 million. The total cost to purchase the treasury shares in the portfolio was € 152.7 million, with an average unit price of € 40.53.
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 2023 income statement of € 0.3 million, which also includes the incentive plan granted by Rossini Luxembourg S.à r.l. to the Chief Executive Officer of the Recordati Group.
At 31 March 2023, loans amounted to € 1,557.6 million, decreasing by a net € 75.5 million compared to 31 December 2022.
This item includes the liabilities deriving from the application of the accounting standard IFRS 16, representing the obligation to make the payments provided for in the existing leases for a total amount of € 32.1 million, a net increase of € 1.3 million compared to 31 December 2022.
Increases for € 4.8 million were recorded in the first quarter of 2023, referring entirely to new lease contracts. Repayments over the period totalled € 77.5 million, of which € 74.2 were for loan repayments and € 3.3
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 € 2.8 million compared to 31 December 2022.
The main loans outstanding are:
a) Bond issued by the parent company on 12 September 2022 for € 75.0 million, placed privately and fully with companies in the Prudential group. The main terms provide for a fixed rate with interest payments every six months and a term of 12 years, with repayment of the principal in five annual instalments starting in September 2030 and expiring on 12 September 2034. The transaction, aimed at continuing to raise medium‐ to long‐term funds to further support the Group's growth, has facilitated access to favourable market conditions. It has standard market characteristics typical of the US private placement market and is substantially in line with the bond issued by the Parent Company in 2017.
The loan includes covenants which, if not observed, could lead to a request for immediate repayment. The financial covenants, measured quarterly, are the following:
These parameters are being observed.
b) Loan for a total of € 800,0 million negotiated by Recordati S.p.A. in two different stages.
On 3 February 2022 the Parent Company signed a loan contract for € 200.0 million for the purpose of acquiring EUSA Pharma (UK) Limited, disbursed by a consortium of national and international lenders made up of Mediobanca, JP Morgan, UniCredit and Banca Nazionale del Lavoro. The terms of the loan provide for a variable interest rate at the 6‐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 5‐year term with semi‐annual repayment of the principal starting 31 March 2023, with the final instalment on 3 February 2027. Disbursement, net of structuring and up‐front fees, took place on 15 March 2022.
Again on 3 February 2022 the Parent Company agreed a "Bridge Facility" for a total of € 450.0 million again for the purpose of financing the acquisition of EUSA Pharma (UK) Limited. The financial institutions are Mediobanca, which also serves as the agent, and JP Morgan with a portion of € 157.5 million, UniCredit for € 67.5 million, Banca Nazionale del Lavoro for € 54.0 million, and BNP Paribas for € 13.5 million. The maximum term of the loan is 12 months and may be extended, at the Company's discretion, for 6 more months to allow for final financial instruments to be negotiated in the meantime. The terms include a variable interest rate at the Euribor rate at the time of use (with floor to zero) plus a variable spread. The disbursement, net of fees, took place on 15 March 2022.
In the second quarter of 2022, Recordati S.p.A. finalized the negotiation of a syndicated loan for the repayment of the bridge loan. The interest shown by both partner banks and by new international credit institutions was significant. It was therefore possible to proceed to the collection of an additional € 150.0 million. This operation was formalised on 28 June 2022 through the signing of an "amendment and restatement" of the € 200.0 million loan negotiated in February 2022. The amendment in question made it possible to increase the value of the loan to € 600.0 million, of which € 450.0 million deriving from replacement of the "Bridge" plus an additional € 150.0 million.
The main economic terms of the loan remained substantially in line with the original ones, with a variable interest rate at the 6‐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 5‐year term with semi‐annual repayment of the principal starting 31 March 2023, with the final instalment on 3 February 2027. The outstanding debt at 31 March 2023 amounted to € 743.0 million. In July 2022, the loan was partially hedged with an interest
rate swap, qualifying as a cash flow hedge, effectively converting the hedged portion to a fixed interest rate. At 31 March 2023, the fair value of the derivatives was measured as a positive € 6.0 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).
The loan includes covenants which, if not observed, could lead to a request for immediate repayment. The financial covenants, measured semi‐annually, are the following:
These parameters are being observed.
c) Loan for 40.0 million Swiss francs taken out on 16 March 2022 by the subsidiary Recordati AG with UBS Switzerland AG, at a fixed interest rate, with quarterly interest payments and semi‐annual repayment of principal starting September 2022 through March 2025.

The loan, initially agreed with Mediobanca, Natixis and Unicredit was subsequently syndicated involving a pool of Italian and international banks. The terms of the loan provide for a variable interest rate at the 6‐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 duration of 5 years with semi‐annual repayment of the principal starting 30 June 2020 through June 2024. The disbursement, net of upfront commissions, took place on 30 July 2019. The outstanding debt recognized at 31 March 2023 amounted to a total of € 213.4 million.
The loan includes covenants which, if not observed, could lead to a request for immediate repayment. The financial covenants, measured semi‐annually, are the following:

h) Loan for € 150.0 million taken out by the Parent Company in November 2018 with Mediobanca, at a variable interest rate of the 6‐month Euribor plus a variable spread based on a step up mechanism on changes in the Leverage Ratio, with quarterly interest payments and a duration of 5 years with semi‐ annual repayments of principal starting November 2020 through November 2023. The outstanding debt at 31 March 2023 amounted to € 42.8 million. The loan was hedged with an interest rate swap, qualifying as a cash flow hedge, effectively converting the entire debt to a fixed interest rate. At 31 March 2023, the fair value of the derivative was measured as a positive € 0.8 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).
The loan includes covenants which, if not observed, could lead to a request for immediate repayment. The financial covenants, measured annually, are the following:
The bonded loan includes covenants which, if not met, could lead to a request for immediate repayment of the loan.
The financial covenants, measured quarterly, are the following:
The loan was hedged at the same time with two cross‐currency swaps which provide for the conversion of the original debt into a total of € 56.0 million (€ 43.4 million at 31 March 2023), of which € 37.3 million (€ 26.1 at the date of this report) at a lower fixed rate for the tranche with maturity at 12 years and € 18.7 million (€ 17.3 million at the date of this report) again at a lower fixed rate than the one maturing at 15 years. At 31 March 2023, hedging instruments measured at fair value were positive for a total of € 9.9 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).
The bonded loan includes covenants which, if not met, could lead to a request for immediate repayment of the loan.
The financial covenants, measured quarterly, are the following:
These parameters are being observed.
The balance at 31 December 2023 amounted to € 18.9 million, slightly down on 31 December 2022, and reflects the Group's liability towards its employees determined in accordance with IAS 19.
At 31 March 2023, deferred tax liabilities amounted to € 163.7 million, down by € 4.1 million compared to 31 December 2022. The tax effect of comprehensive income statement components is € 2.3 million (€ 2.4 million at 31 December 2022).
Trade payables at € 247.0 million, included the accrual for invoices to be received.
Other liabilities amounted to € 224.9 million, decreasing by € 26.3 million compared to 31 December 2022, and mainly include:
• € 75.1 million due to employees and social security institutions;
Tax liabilities amounted to € 54.7 million, increasing by € 21.1 million compared to 31 December 2022.
Other current liabilities amounted to € 5.7 million, substantially in line with 31 December 2022. An amount of € 3.7 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 € 16.3 million, in line with 31 December 2022.
At 31 March 2023, the value of derivative instruments included under this item amounted to € 15.6 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 31 March 2023 on the outstanding loan of 122.6 million Swiss francs was a negative for € 12.5 million compared to the € 14.4 million at 31 December 2022, with the difference recognized in the income statement, offsetting the exchange gains determined by the valuation of the underlying loan at current exchange rates.
At 31 March 2023, other hedging transactions were in place on foreign currency positions, the measurement of which was negative for € 3.1 million compared to the € 3.0 million at 31 December 2022, with the difference recognized to the income statement and offsetting the exchange gains 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.
Short‐term debts to banks and other lenders at 31 March 2023 were € 23.2 million and comprise temporary use of short‐term credit lines, overdrafts of a number of foreign associates and interest due on existing loans.
On 1 March 2023, the Parent Company renewed the revolving credit line with UniCredit, with a maximum term of 12 months and for a maximum amount of € 40 million. This credit line, which had not been used at 31 March 2023, is a short‐term financing instrument providing financial flexibility, combining irrevocability with variability of use based on specific financial requirements. The agreement signed requires compliance
with financial and income conditions similar to those for other existing loans.
The financial information reported by line of business, in compliance with IFRS 8 – Operating Segments, is prepared using the same accounting principles used for the preparation and disclosure of the Group's consolidated financial statements.

* 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 and 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.
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 fulfillment is as yet uncertain—occur, with the consequence that the contractually required payments, estimated at around € 30 million, are merely potential at the moment.
At 31 March 2023, 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.
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.
