Net invested capital as of 31 March 2025 was €179.8 million (€167.4 million as of 31 December 2024) and was covered by:
Working capital as of 31 March 2025 was €29.9 million compared to €23.4 million at the end of the previous financial year. The Commercial Net Working Capital, of €39.7 million (compared to €32.9 million as of 31 December 2024), changed as follows: increase in trade receivables (€5.9 million), inventories (€6.8 million) and trade payables (€5.8 million). The increase in trade receivables between 31 December 2024 and 31 March 2025 was mainly due to a different monthly sales distribution in Q1 2025 compared to Q4 2024. The rise in inventories at the end of Q1 2025 is in preparation for fulfilling the substantial customer order backlog scheduled for Q2 2025.
Other current receivables and payables decreased by about €0.2 million.
Tangible Fixed Assets increased by approximately €7.4 million in Q1 2025, due to net investments of about €10.9 million and depreciation for the period of €3.5 million. Intangible fixed assets and rights of use were €16 million as of 31 March 2025, in line with the previous year-end. Other non-current receivables and payables decreased by approximately €1.6 million.

| Business Unit – Cosmetics | 6,168,149 | 8,088,986 |
| Total Revenue from contracts with customers | 62,996,851 | 65,564,696 |
The Pharma Business Unit, which accounted for 32% of total revenue, continued its strong growth, generating revenue of €20.1 million - an increase of 13.8% compared to Q1 2024. This growth partially offset the decline of 7.7% in the Nutra Business Unit, which recorded revenue of €36.8 million in Q1 2025, down from €39.8 million in Q1 2024. The Cosmetics Business Unit reported revenue of €6.2 million in Q1 2025, compared to €8.1 million in the same period last year. The comparison is affected by the lack of data consistency, due to a customer portfolio review carried out during the Business Unit's reorganisation in the previous year. During Q1 2025, initiatives were implemented to strengthen the organisational and commercial structure, to support future business generation.
Raw material costs on sales revenue ratio, of approximately 53.5%, decreased compared to what was shown in the Interim Financial Report as of 31 March 2024 (58.6%). Personnel costs amounted to €13.3 million, with an increase of €1.7 million compared to the same period in FY 2024.
The Group's ADJUSTED EBITDA for Q1 2025 was €10.2 million (ADJUSTED EBITDA margin of 16.2%), a notable improvement from €8.9 million (13.5% ADJUSTED EBITDA margin) in the same period last year. This quarter recorded the Group's highest ADJUSTED EBITDA in value and margin.
The Group continues to reap the benefits of continuous improvement programmes and a consistent pricing policy. In Q1 2025, all Business Units recorded improved profitability compared to Q1 2024, with the Cosmetics Business Unit contributing positively to the Group's EBITDA.
ADJUSTED EBIT reached €6.4 million as of 31 March 2025, compared to €5.1 million recorded on 31 March 2024 recording a strong 25.9% growth. ADJUSTED Income Before Taxes for Q1 2025 was €5.7 million, a significant increase from €4 million in Q1 2024. The Group closed Q1 2025 with an ADJUSTED profit of €4.3 million compared to €2.8 million in Q1 2024.
The following non-recurring expenses were incurred in 2025, impacting EBITDA:
✓ Severance and redundancy incentives were €85,000;
No significant events occurred after the end of the period.
The market segments in which the Group operates are expected to grow in the coming years, in Europe and globally. The trend of major industry players outsourcing nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics production to subcontractors was confirmed. Fine Foods & Pharmaceuticals N.T.M. S.p.A. aims to strengthen its competitive position by expanding its market share across its three core business units—Nutra, Pharma, and Cosmetics—enhancing their synergies. The Group's approach will be increasingly customeroriented, with an evolved and integrated service model that provides long-term strategic support and distinctive and unrivalled expertise along the entire value chain in the Health & Beauty sectors. The Group monitors potential growth opportunities through acquisitions.
The Nutra BU will continue its growth by focusing on quality, innovation and development of high value-added services to support customers. The planned production capacity expansion, initiated in 2024 with the purchase of land, was confirmed, with initial investments scheduled for 2025 to extend the production facility.
In 2025, the fast-growing and accelerating Pharma BU will continue to focus on managing the anticipated strong growth from significant multi-year agreements signed with key international customers. The production plant expansion, which started at the end of 2023, is progressing as planned and will be completed in 2025, with revenue expected to start in 2026.
Following a phase of integration, reorganisation, and optimisation, supported by targeted investments and the strengthening of management with sector experience, the Cosmetics BU is beginning to show positive signs. A gradual improvement in revenue and profit margins is expected in 2025, contributing positively to the Group's overall performance.
While, due to the nature of the business, turnover growth may not be consistent on a quarter-on-quarter basis, a strong order backlog for the current year and existing multi-year agreements support the expectation of strengthening historical revenue and margins growth trends. This is underpinned by an increasingly strong and reliable organisational structure.
The Group, which confirmed its EcoVadis Platinum rating for the third consecutive year in 2024, will continue its commitment to sustainability, strengthening its role as a reference partner for its customers, and provide solutions that are increasingly aligned with the growing ESG market expectations.
