Fagron, the leading global player in pharmaceutical compounding today publishes its full year results for the period ending 31 December 2022.
"The continued resilience of our industry, allied with strong execution capabilities and our teams' relentless focus on strategic execution enabled us to deliver strong results for the year.
We expanded our operating profit in the second semester to deliver a margin of 19.8% excluding the impact of the Boston acquisition. For the full year and including the Boston impact, margin came in at 19.1% despite the inflationary pressures. This was driven by the continued and impressive turnaround in EMEA because of positive developments across our traditional and smaller markets. We made further progress in North America with pleasing organic growth supplemented by two sizeable acquisitions that demonstrate our long-term commitment to the region. The combined run-rate of our Wichita and Boston sterile outsourcing facilities exceeded US\$110 million in line with our expectations. Over the course of this year, we have witnessed an industry wide increase in regulatory scrutiny in the US and we have adopted a pragmatic approach to ensure that quality remains our key competitive advantage. The Latin America region has faced numerous external challenges this year and we have taken the necessary actions to ensure we maintain our market leading position and are already seeing benefits, with an expansion of our margin in the second half of the year. Free cash generation was outstanding with 58% growth year over year, further reinforcing the underlying strength of our business model and supporting our ability to maximize stakeholder value over the long term.

Although we expect further macro challenges in 2023, I am confident we will manage these developments and deliver on our ambitions as the global demand for personalizing medicine continues to accelerate and Fagron is best positioned to capitalize on this opportunity.
Finally, Michael Schenck stepped down as non-executive director from our Board. We thank him for his valuable contribution to the Board of Directors."

Organic revenue growth in the EMEA region was 2.2% at constant exchange rates with total growth at constant exchange rates of 7.8% (reported 8.4%) to €276.4 million for the year. This positive performance in the region shows the strengthening of our commercial approach, recovery of elective care and continued progress of pricing pass through, across all our segments.
Brands and Essentials revenue was supported by successful innovative product launches and the improved product availability driven by the completed transition to our Polish GMP repackaging facility. In Essentials, we saw impressive revenue growth in some of our smaller markets, such as Denmark, advancing in revenue diversification across the region.
In Compounding Services, the revenue acceleration is reflective of the continuing normalization of the market, our solid market position in this segment and the success of our Curaphar acquisition. Performance in the Netherlands continued its evolution in line with expectations, supported by contract renewals, the reinforcement of our registration capabilities and progression in passing on price increases. Our emerging countries South-Africa and Israel have shown tremendous growth and offer upside potential over the mid-term.
While the inflationary pressures sustained in the second half of 2022, pricing pass-through progressed along with operational benefits, which resulted in the anticipated improvement of our REBITDA margin in the period. There remains some delay in passing on price increases linked to the longer-term contracts that are more common in Europe than in other regions we operate in.

Reported revenue growth in the Latin American region was 15.1% to €162.3 million for the year, supported by the continued positive exchange rate impact. At constant exchange rates, revenue declined by 1.1% reflecting the end market softness and increased competitive pressure enduring through the year.
Organic revenue development at constant exchange rates of the Essentials segment reflects the softness in demand and the impact of our focus at maintaining market share in a heightened competitive environment. The Brands segment showed nice organic revenue growth at constant exchange rates supported by innovative product launches and improved product availability, further strengthening its contribution to overall revenue. Compounding Services continued its strong organic revenue growth, supported by customer wins and increasing orders from existing customers.
Compared to – the exceptionally strong - 2021 the region's REBITDA margin showed the impact of the challenging macro-economic environment. While the pricing pressure barely changed, the new GMP repackaging facility in Brazil and the progress made in the centralization of the distribution network supported product availability and efficiency in the second half of the year, resulting in improved profitability for the second semester.

Organic revenue growth in the North American region was 10.5% at constant exchange rates with total growth at constant exchange rates of 22.9% (reported 38.0%) to €245.1 million for the year, perpetuating a distinctive performance and further strengthening our position in this growing market.
Brands and Essentials reported revenue growth was supported by the acquisition of Letco, partly offset by the divestment of our CMO business. Organic revenue growth of the Essentials segment at constant exchange rates was impacted by the accelerated integration of Letco and a deliberate slowdown of sales as part of our remediation plan following the FDA audit at our St. Paul facility.
Organic revenue growth of Compounding Services at constant exchange rates showed a recovery in the fourth quarter, driven by strong revenue growth at Anazao and our Wichita and Boston sterile outsourcing facilities combined exceeding US\$110 million year-end run rate in line with expectations. In the fourth quarter we saw early signs of the syringe shortage caused by the global vaccination programs easing, but we continue to closely monitor the situation into 2023.

The initial dilutive impact of the Letco and Boston acquisition curtailed the REBITDA margin for the region while we have been able to pass on most of the inflationary increases to our customers.
Finally, implementation of our remedial action plan at the St. Paul facility progresses well and we submit monthly update reports with the FDA, ensuring our commitment to bring the audit to a satisfactory closure.
Integration of all acquisitions closed during the year, being the 503B facility in Boston (USA), Letco (USA), Pharma-pack (Belgium), Curaphar (the Netherlands), and Hiperscan (Germany), is progressing in line with expectations.
Michael Schenck stepped down as non-executive director, effective year-end 2022. His position will not be filled at this time.
In 2022 Fagron made further progress in realizing our ESG targets. The implementation of energysaving measures progressed as did the electrification of our vehicle fleet. We realized a 20% reduction of our greenhouse gas intensity compared to 2019, considerably better than the targeted 15% reduction. In December 2022, we submitted science-based emission reduction targets for validation by the Science Based Targets initiative to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
In the second half of 2022, we conducted our bi-annual global employee survey with an all-time high 89% participation rate and a sustainable engagement score of 84% with improved scores on 13 of the 16 categories. This reflects the appreciation by our employees of the good follow-up of the focus areas that came out of the 2020 survey, such as communication and learning & development.
Finally, while our product portfolio expanded further, revenue growth increased and the units of compounded medicine supplied more than doubled in the year, the number of class 1 recalls remained stable in 2022.

Assuming no significant changes in current market conditions, we expect a mid-to-high single digit organic revenue growth and an increase in profitability both developing progressively through 2023.
To facilitate further growth and enhance operational excellence of our 503A business in North America (Anazao, Tampa), we will invest a total of US\$18 million with the majority spent in 2023 on top of our regular maintenance capex spend of around 3 to 3.5% of revenue.
We remain committed to our disciplined acquisition strategy in all regions where we are active as part of Fagron's growth strategy.
Our medium-term objectives remain unchanged.
The Board of Directors will propose to the General Meeting of Shareholders a gross dividend of €0.25 per share for 2022.
