The official version of the Eckert & Ziegler Quarterly Report is in German. The English translation is provided as a convenience to our shareholders.

In the first quarter of , the Eckert & Ziegler Group reached a net profit of . million. This represents an increase of . million in consolidated net profit compared to the same period of the previous year.
Despite unforeseeable events such as the cyber attack in February and the associated temporary stop in deliveries of our gallium generators, the Group achieved sales slightly above the previous year's level overall. At the end of March , sales amounted to . million, up . million or on the previous year's figure of . million.
The individual segments developed as follows:
At . million, external sales in the Medical segment in the first three months of the year were on a par with the previous year (. million). The pharmaceutical radioisotope business remains the most important revenue driver. Due to the aforementioned circumstances, there were delays in the area of generators and engineering business in particular, which will be fully made up for in the course of the second quarter.
At . million, the Isotope Products segment generated external sales that were slightly higher than in the first three months of by . million or around . Compared to the same period of the previous year, there were minor shifts between the product groups. In the Isotope Products segment, there are also some small distortions due to the cyber attack; here, too, it is expected that these will be made up for by the end of the first half of the year.
For the transition from EBIT to adjusted EBIT, please refer to the information in the notes to the interim consolidated financial statements in the section "Key performance indicator defined by management".
The Group's adjusted EBIT rose by around . million to . million compared to the first quarter of , representing an increase of .
In the Medical segment, adjusted EBIT amounted to . million and was therefore . million higher than the adjusted EBIT in the same quarter of the previous year. The gross margin in the first quarter was above the previous year's level due to high-margin sales.
In the Isotope Products segment, adjusted EBIT fell by around . million to . million. This was primarily due to the . million decline in gross profit to . million. Despite stable sales, a weaker product mix compared to the previous year led to a slight decline in gross profit of around . million.
The Other segment, consisting of the holding company, closed the first quarter with an adjusted EBIT of . million (previous year: –. million). The main reason for the improvement was the fact that the scope of the "Laundry" project in Berlin-Buch was adjusted in the first quarter of . All costs previously recognized under assets under construction that could no longer be allocated to the newly defined scope were derecognized through profit or loss (–. million) in .
At . million or . per share, the Group earnings for the first three months were around . million (.) higher than in the previous year.
Group earnings in the first quarter of were negatively impacted by currency effects of . million, while in the same quarter of the previous year, earnings were positively influenced by currency effects of . million. In addition, costs were incurred to restore the IT infrastructure in connection with the cyber attack. These expenses recognized in the income statement provisionally reduced earnings by around . million.
In the Medical segment, the net result amounted to . million (previous year: . million). Currency effects of . million had a negative impact on earnings; in the previous year, currency effects led to a gain of . million. Compared to the previous year, interest expenses fell by . million to . million.
In the Isotope Products segment, net income decreased by around . million to . million compared to the first quarter of . Currency effects (–. million) had a negative impact of . million on earnings compared to the previous year. Losses in accordance with IAS (hyperinflation) amounted to . million in the reporting period (previous year: . million).
The Other segment closed the first quarter with a result (before minority interests) of . million (previous year: –. million). The improvement in the result is mainly due to the fact that in the same period of the previous year, the segment included the clinical assets division, consisting of Pentixapharm AG and Myelo Therapeutics GmbH, in addition to the holding company. Furthermore, the costs of . million for preparing the spin-off of the clinical assets had an additional negative impact on the segment's earnings in the previous year.
At the end of March , total assets increased slightly compared to the annual financial statements and now amount to million (previous year: million).
On the assets side, trade receivables increased by . million. The increase is due to the invoicing to the Chinese joint venture Qi Kang Medical, Ltd. in the amount of . million following the signing of the license agreement for the cyclotron technology used by Eckert & Ziegler to produce Ac-. In accordance with IAS , these sales were eliminated against shares in associates or joint ventures to the extent that they correspond to the share of the joint venture. Consequently, this item under non-current assets was reduced by . million. The receivable from the joint venture is expected to be settled in the second quarter.
The changes on the liabilities side mainly relate to income tax liabilities, which increased by . million to . million. In contrast, non-current and current loan liabilities decreased by a total of . million to . million.
As at March , , million were reported as non-current loan liabilities and million as current loan liabilities.
Equity increased by . million to million as at March , . The increase was mainly due to the higher net profit for the period of . million and a reduction in other reserves of . million due to foreign currency translation differences. The equity ratio amounts to ..
The operating cash flow from continuing operations amounted to . million, around . million higher than in the same period of the previous year.
The cash outflow from investing activities from continuing operations totaled . million in the first quarter (previous year: . million). At . million, more cash and cash equivalents were used for investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment than in the same period of the previous year (. million). The focus in the first quarter was on the expansion of the Dresden-Rossendorf and São Paulo, Brazil sites. There were no company acquisitions or disposals in the reporting period.
The cash outflow from financing activities of continuing operations is primarily due to the repayment of loan liabilities (. million). Including the interest payments incurred, cash and cash equivalents of . million (previous year: . million) were used to repay lease liabilities.
Overall, cash and cash equivalents from continuing operations as at March , decreased by . million compared to the end of to . million (December , : . million).
Despite the cyber attack in February and the associated short-term delivery stop, the forecast for the financial year published on March , remains unchanged. Delays will be made up over the course of the following quarters. The Executive Board continues to expect revenue of around million and adjusted EBIT of around million.
In the Annual Report , we described risks that could have a significant negative impact on our business, net assets, financial position and results of operations as well as on our reputation. The most significant opportunities and the structure of our risk management system were also presented.
Additional risks and opportunities that we are not aware of or that we currently consider to be immaterial could also impair our business activities. At present, no risks have been identified which, individually or in combination with other risks, could jeopardize our continued existence.
As at March , , the Eckert & Ziegler Group employed , people worldwide. Compared to the previous year (December , : ,), the number of employees has thus increased slightly.
Following the attack on Eckert & Ziegler's IT infrastructure at the beginning of February , the Group was able to continue business operations in most areas. There were a few individual restrictions and delivery stops due to the gradual recovery. The Executive Board does not expect any significant adverse effects on business.

These interim consolidated financial statements as at March , include the financial statements of Eckert & Ziegler SE and its subsidiaries.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Eckert & Ziegler SE as at March , were prepared in accordance with IAS , the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applicable to interim financial reporting. All standards of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), London, and the valid interpretations of the International Financial Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) applicable in the EU on the reporting date were taken into account. The interim report does not include all the notes that are normally included in financial statements for a full financial year and has therefore been condensed. Accordingly, the interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Eckert & Ziegler SE as at December , . The accounting policies explained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for were applied unchanged, except with regard to the first-time application of amended standards, which, however, had no effect.
In order to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, it is necessary to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Significant assumptions and estimates are made for the useful life, the recoverable amounts of fixed assets, the collectability of receivables, and the recognition and measurement of provisions. Due to rounding, individual figures may not add up exactly to the stated total.
This interim report contains all the information and adjustments necessary to provide a true and fair view of the net assets, financial position, and results of operations of Eckert & Ziegler SE as of the date of the interim report. The results for the current fiscal year to date do not necessarily allow conclusions to be drawn about the development of future results.
The consolidated financial statements of Eckert & Ziegler SE include all companies in which Eckert & Ziegler SE has the ability, either directly or indirectly, to determine financial and operating policies (control concept).

They are based on the circumstances on the date of their publication.
