The PharmaNutra Group specialises in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and nutritional sectors. As of today, the Group includes the Italian companies PharmaNutra S.p.A. (Parent Company) and Akern S.r.l., as well as the two foreign subsidiaries PharmaNutra U.S.A. Corp., PharmaNutra España S.L.U. and Athletica Cetilar S.r.l.
The Group's history began in 2000 with the foundation of Alesco S.r.l., a company focused on the development of nutraceutical raw materials, which was followed in 2003 by the establishment of PharmaNutra S.p.A., specialising in the development of nutraceutical products and medical devices. Finally, in 2010, Junia Pharma S.r.l. was established, a company operating in the paediatric sector. In 2022, following the acquisition of 100% of Akern S.r.l., the Group opened up to the nutritional research sector, acquiring unique technical and scientific know-how and generating important synergies.
The Group has been present on foreign markets since 2013 with a flexible and innovative business model, which is based on an established network of premium quality distributors. Currently, the products of PharmaNutra are present in over 80 countries worldwide, including Europe, Asia, Africa and America, through a network of selected business partners.
In 2023, PharmaNutra España and PharmaNutra USA were established with the aim of directly overseeing the distribution of products in the markets of the two countries, while in 2024 the two historical companies, Junia Pharma S.r.l. and Alesco S.r.l., were merged into PharmaNutra.
This defines a new corporate structure, which meets the requirements of the entire production chain, from the development of new technologies and patents, to the marketing of nutraceuticals and medical devices covering health and wellness needs from early childhood to adulthood.
Thanks to the continuous capital expenditures in R&D, which have led to the approval of several patents referred to the Sucrosomial® technology and Cetylated Esters (CFA), the Group has succeeded in a short time in establishing itself as leader in the industry of mineral- and iron-based nutritional supplements, as well as in the field of medical devices dedicated to the restoration of articular function.
The PharmaNutra Group today employs more than 110 employees with a network of more than 160 single-brand Pharmaceutical Sales Representatives in Italy.

The PharmaNutra Group is a group of companies specializing in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and nutritional sectors.
Pharmanutra S.p.A. (hereinafter also referred to as "Pharmanutra" or the "Parent Company") is a company with its registered office in Italy, at Via Campodavela 1, Pisa. It holds controlling interests in the group of companies (the "Group" or the "PharmaNutra Group") shown in the following chart.


The Pharmanutra Group (hereinafter also referred to as the "Group") consists of Pharmanutra S.p.A. ("Pharmanutra", the "Company" or the "Parent Company") and its subsidiaries Akern S.r.l. ("Akern"), Pharmanutra Usa Corp. ("Pharmanutra Usa" or "PHN USA"), Pharmanutra España S.L. ("Pharmanutra España" or "PHN ESP"), and Athletica Cetilar S.r.l. ("Athletica" or "ATHL").
Pharmanutra, a nutraceutical company based in Pisa, specializes in the development of nutritional supplements and medical devices, as well as the production and distribution of raw materials and active ingredients for the food, pharmaceutical, and dietary supplement industries. Specifically, it engages in research, design, development, and commercialization of proprietary and innovative products. Among these, the most notable are those based on Sucrosomial® Iron, the Sideral® line, products aimed at restoring joint capacity and movement in osteoarticular conditions, the Cetilar® line, and the Apportal® line, an energizing tonic composed of 19 nutrients including 5 minerals.
It adheres to strict quality standards, always maintaining high attention to the unique and exclusive raw materials used throughout the national territory, studying and producing formulations with significant scientific background. Since 2005, it has independently developed and marketed a line of products under its own brand, managed through a structure of scientific-commercial representatives who directly present the products to the medical community. Pharmanutra currently possesses the know-how to manage all phases from design, formulation, and registration of a new product, to marketing and commercialization, and training of representatives. The commercial model developed has been highlighted by leading healthcare marketing experts as an example of innovation and efficiency in the entire pharmaceutical landscape. The company constantly enhances its research and development activities to further strengthen its results in its sector.
Akern S.r.l. (hereinafter also "Akern") is an Italian company founded in 1980 dedicated to the research, development, and production of medical instruments and software for body composition monitoring using bioimpedance techniques.
Pharmanutra USA (hereinafter also "PHN USA") was established in December 2022 to commercialize Pharmanutra® branded products in the American market through selected e-commerce channels and direct distribution in the territory.

Pharmanutra España (hereinafter also "PHN ESP") was established in March 2023 to distribute Cetilar® and Cetilar® Nutrition line products in the Spanish market through selected online sales channels and a dedicated sales network.
The subsidiary Athletica Cetilar S.r.l. (hereinafter also "Athletica Cetilar") was established in March 2024 with the objective of creating a sports medical center focused on optimizing the performance of professional and amateur athletes and on developing applications for the Cetilar® product line.
Recurring business revenues are increasing both in the Italian market and in foreign markets, while the contribution of new businesses remains marginal.
The startup process of the subsidiaries Pharmanutra Usa, Pharmanutra España, and the Cetilar® Nutrition line is continuing and, as expected, has led to a slight reduction in margins.
Specifically regarding the American market, the development plan outlined during 2024 in collaboration with an international strategic consulting firm is being implemented. The first results are expected to be obtained starting from the second half of the year.
In January, another important partnership was formalized, making the Cetilar® Nutrition line the Official Nutrition Partner of the Giro d'Italia 2025 and the two subsequent editions. Thanks to the international media coverage of the Giro and the large audience present along the competition stages, Cetilar® Nutrition will have the opportunity to strengthen its market presence.
During the quarter, the Group's international expansion continued with the start of distribution of the Sideral® line products (Forte and Folic) in Kuwait, the launch of Ultramag® in the Taiwanese market, which adds to the already marketed Sideral® and Cetilar® lines, the launch of UltraCalD3, an exclusive formulation of vitamin D3 with Sucrosomial® Technology in the Finnish market, the expansion of products marketed in the Austrian market, with the addition of Sideral®Med and Apportal® to the already distributed product portfolio, and the start of distribution of the Sideral® line products in the Moldovan market.
In March, Sucrosomial® Iron, the innovative formulation designed and patented by PharmaNutra at the base of the SiderAL® products, was included in the recent World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines titled "Guidance on

implementing patient blood management to improve global blood health status." The document, focused on the efficiency and improvement of patient management to reduce the need for blood transfusions, is the result of extensive collaboration among international experts in multidisciplinary fields dedicated to improving outcomes, safety, and quality of patient care. Therefore, it also serves as a practical guide to address the global problem of iron deficiency and anemia, blood loss, and bleeding coagulopathies. Specifically, regarding sideropenia in cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, Sucrosomial® Iron is the only oral iron cited and recognized within the WHO guidelines.

The change in Operating Working Capital is a consequence of the timing dynamics of collections and payments and production planning policies.
The changes in the items Other Receivables and Other Payables are respectively due to the accounting of deferrals related to costs whose competence extends beyond March 31, 2025, and the recognition of taxes on the period's result.
The reduction in the item Financial Fixed Assets is determined by the reclassification among other receivables of the short-term portion of tax credits and Industry 4.0 credits.
The Pharmanutra Group, to allow a better assessment of management performance, uses some alternative performance indicators that are not identified as accounting measures within the IFRS. Consequently, the Group's determination criteria may not be consistent with those adopted by other groups, and the resulting values may not be comparable.

These alternative performance indicators, calculated in accordance with the ESMA Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (ESMA/2015/1415) and adopted by CONSOB with communication no. 92543 of December 3, 2015, refer solely to the performance of the financial year covered by this Interim Report and the comparative periods, not the Group's expected performance.
Below are definitions of the alternative performance indicators used in this Interim Report:
– EBITDA: represented by Operating Gross Result.
– Adjusted EBITDA: represented by Operating Gross Result net of non-recurring items.
– EBIT: represented by Operating Gross Result net of Depreciation and Amortization.
– Operating Working Capital: calculated as the sum of Inventories and Trade Receivables net of Trade Payables.
– Net Working Capital: calculated as the sum of Inventories and Trade Receivables, net of Trade Payables and all other Balance Sheet items classified as Other Receivables or Other Liabilities.
– Net Invested Capital: represented by the sum of Net Working Capital and Total Fixed Assets, net of Provisions and other medium-to-long-term liabilities, excluding financial items that are included in the Net Financial Position balance.
– Net Financial Position (NFP): calculated as the sum of Current and Non-Current Bank Debt and Current and Non-Current Lease Liabilities, net of Cash and Cash Equivalents, as well as Current and Non-Current Financial Assets.
– Total Sources: represented by the sum of Net Equity and NFP.

The net financial position as of March 31, 2025, is positive (cash) at € 8.1 million compared to € 5.6 million as of December 31, 2024. Operating activities during the period generated cash of approximately €2.1 million compared to €2.3 million absorbed as of March 31, 2024.
For more details, please refer to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement.
The increase in the item Non-current Financial Assets is due to payments made for the insurance policy subscribed to cover the accrued End-of-Mandate Treatment.
The PharmaNutra Group's distribution and sales model is structured into the following business lines:
Italy Business Line: this line is characterized by direct oversight of the target markets in which the Group operates. For finished products, the guiding principle is to ensure comprehensive territorial coverage through an organizational structure of scientific-commercial representatives, who, by engaging in sales and scientific information activities, provide full oversight of all actors in the distribution chain: hospital physicians, outpatient physicians, pharmacies, and hospital pharmacies.

The commercial activity for raw materials targets companies in the food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries, as well as nutraceutical production facilities that operate on a contract manufacturing basis.
Foreign Business Line: This line focuses on the commercialization of finished products and raw materials through local partners who, under multi-year exclusive distribution agreements, distribute and sell the products in their respective markets. This business model is primarily used in foreign markets.
Akern Business Line: The business model includes the sale of devices and software for measuring body bioimpedance in Italy and abroad through agents, distributors, and online sales.

The breakdown of revenues in the Group's business areas shows that as of March 31, 2025, revenues from sales of finished products increased by approximately 4% in the Italian market and by approximately 25% in foreign markets compared to March 31 of the previous year.
The trend in revenues in the Italian market is influenced by the purchasing dynamics of the wholesale channel and a physiological increase in competition.
Revenues related to the sale of proprietary and non-proprietary raw materials to companies in the food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries, as well as to nutraceutical product manufacturing workshops working on a contract basis, show an overall decrease of approximately 23%, with an increase in sales in the Italian market and a reduction in foreign markets due to the timing dynamics of customer purchase orders.

Revenues related to the medical instrumentation business line show an increase of 44%, reaching €2 million, almost entirely related to the Italian market. The increase compared to the same period of the previous year is mainly due to the order acquisition dynamics.

The graph below shows the quarterly trend of the market share of Sideral® (expressed in terms of units and values) in relation to the market of iron supplements only (Food Supplements Iron Market) and the total market consisting of both supplements and drugs (Total Iron Market)2 .
It should be noted that starting from January 2025, the data provider IQVIA has made changes to the sample of pharmacies used for processing sales data. This has resulted in a variation in the data, also impacting historical data.

In the first quarter of 2025, the Sideral® line confirmed its position as market leader with a 52.6% share in value and 46.8% in volume in the iron supplement market.
The chart below shows the quarterly trend of Sideral®'s market share (expressed in value) in relation to both the iron supplements market alone (Food Supplements Iron Market) and the overall market (Total Iron Market)3 .

It is worth highlighting that the Sideral® product line holds a significant market share within the overall market landscape, amounting to 41,1%.
The quarterly performance of Sideral® in terms of units in the iron-based dietary supplements market and the overall iron market is shown in the following chart.

Finally, the graph below shows the growth in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same quarter in 2024, respectively, for the Sideral line, the remaining competitors in the iron supplements market, and the pharmaceutical market.


The following graph shows the trend of Cetilar's market share (expressed in value and units) in relation to the reference market.


In a market context with a slight decline (-0.3% in value terms) in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, and in a highly fragmented competitive scenario, the market share of the Cetilar® line recorded a growth of 4.4%, increasing from a market share of 4.4% to 4.6% in value and from 3.1% to 3.3% in volume4 .
The following chart shows the quarterly trend, from January 2024 to March 2025, of the overall topical pain reliever market and the Cetilar® line.

In the first quarter of 2025, despite an overall market decline of 3.1% compared to the first quarter of 2024, the Cetilar® line grew by 3.5%.
The following chart shows the trend of Apportal®'s market share (expressed in value and units) in relation to the target market 5 .

Given a 7% growth in the tonic market in value terms in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024, Apportal®'s market share increased from 6.1% to 6.4% in value and from 4.2% to 4.4% in volume, recording an 11% increase in value with prospects for further future growth.
At the beginning of April, three new contracts were formalized for the distribution of Sideral® line products in Morocco (in addition to Apportal®), Bahrain, and Peru.
The expected growth of the recurring business in line with that of 2024 and the strong cash generation capacity will support the development of new projects for which significant investments are planned, resulting in a slight reduction in margins.
The development plan for the American market through the subsidiary Pharmanutra USA is being implemented, from which the first results are expected starting from the second half of the year and which are expected to progressively and significantly consolidate over the next two years.
The Directors believe that the current international tensions and the unpredictable developments of scenarios related to the current geopolitical situation, while generating generalized macroeconomic uncertainty, do not

affect the achievement of corporate objectives. In particular, no significant impacts are expected from the possible introduction of customs duties on the Group's products destined for the American market.
In this general framework, the PharmaNutra Group will continue to work as always to achieve ambitious goals, maintaining a constant focus on the efficient management of its economic and financial structure, supported by a portfolio of unique products resulting from continuous and significant investments in research, and clear and effective development strategies to continue a solid growth path.
