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.

EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) from continuing operations before special items (adjusted EBIT)

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 .

Earnings (net profit for the period)

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.

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.

A.2 FINANCIAL POSITION

Balance sheet

At the end of March , total assets increased slightly compared to the annual financial statements and now amount to million (previous year: million).
