The legal reserve is set in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Law, according to which, at least 5% of the annual accounting profit is transferred within the legal reserves until their balance reaches 20% of the company's social capital. If this reserve is used fully or partially to cover losses or to distribuite in any form (such as to issue new shares according to the Companies Law), it becomes taxable. The company's management does not estimate it shall use its legal reserve in such a way that it becomes taxable.
The company, previously named SICOMED S.A. Bucharest ("Sicomed") was founded in 1962 as Intreprinderea de Medicamente BUCURESTI ("IMB"). The current registered office of the Company is located in B-dul Theodor Pallady no.50, Bucharest. The Company is registered with the Trade Register under no. J40/363/1991.
In 1990, Sicomed became a joint stock company by incorporating and taking over all the assets of the former IMB in accordance with the Government Decision. The initial share capital was the result of the difference between assets, including specific valuations of land and buildings donated by the State to the Company in accordance with the Government Decision, and liabilities held as of the same date.
In October 2005, the majority stake in the company was acquired by Zentiva Group (a group in the pharmaceutical industry operating in Central and Eastern Europe) by acquiring shares held in Venoma Holdings Limited. Zentiva Group has control over the Company's operations.
Starting with 24 January 2006, the Company changed its name from Sicomed SA to Zentiva SA.
Starting with 11 March 2009, there was a change in the shareholding structure at the group level (Sanofi Aventis acquired 97% of Zentiva NV shares - parent of the Company).
The main activity of the Company is the production and marketing of preparations and medicines for human use.
Starting with 2007, a decision has been taken at the Zentiva Group level, and as a result the Company started its trading operations through its subsidiary in Romania, namely Zentiva International (incorporated in Slovakia) ("ZIRO") and, as such, the Romanian market (i.e. distributors) was supplied with the Company's products through ZIRO. Starting with 1 October 2011, sales are made directly through Sanofi Romania SRL entity and after that date, ZIRO became an entity with no activity, and was to be liquidated.
On 20 February 2018, Zentiva SA launched the public purchase offer by Zentiva NV of the shares owed by minority shareholders in the percent of 18.4067 % at a purchase price of RON 3.5 / share. The public purchase offer was concluded on 5 April 2018. The shares redeemed through this offer were primarily the ones owned by KJK Fund II, the NN Optional Active Pension Fund, the NN Optional Optimal Pension Fund and the NN Privately Administrated Pension Fund.
At the end of October 2016, Sanofi Group announced, after an analysis of all the available options, the initiation of its European generic medicine's division carve out.
As of that date, Zentiva SA was included in this separation process that was finalized on September 30, 2018, when Advent International NV purchased the European generic medicine division of Sanofi Group.
Starting with 1 September 2018, Sanofi Romania SRL, who was up until that time the distributor of generic medicine produced by Zentiva SA on the Romanian market, transferred its distribution activity to Zentiva SA, based on the distribution activity transfer contract, which was approved on 7 March 2019 by the General Meeting of the Shareholders of Zentiva SA.
Following this, Zentiva started the direct distribution in Romanian of generic medicines both produced in Romania, as well as imported from other entities from the Group. The local market distribution is done by local distributors.
The Company is listed on Bucharest Stock Exchange.
The Company has no investments in subsidiaries or associated companies as of 31 March 2025. The Company is part of a group and is at its turn consolidated in the Group's Financial Statements, the consolidated parent company being AI Sirona (Luxembourg) Acquisition S.a.r.l.

The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Order No. 2844/2016 approving the accounting regulations compliant with the International Financial Reporting Standards applicable to companies whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market with all subsequent amendments and clarifications. These provisions are in line with the provisions of the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European Union, except for the provisions of IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates regarding the functional currency, of IAS 20 Accounting of Government Grants regarding the recognition of revenue form green certificates, with the exception of IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers regarding the revenue from distribution network connection charges and the exception of the presentation in the financial statements of the additional tax related turnover. These exceptions are not applicable and do not affect the Company and the compliance of the financial statements of the Company with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU
In order to prepare these financial statements, in accordance with the Romanian legal provisions, the functional currency of the Company is considered to be the Romanian Leu (RON).
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue its activity in the foreseeable future. To assess the applicability of this assumption, the management analyses the forecasts of future cash inflows.
On 31 March 2025, current assets of the Company exceed current liabilities by RON 1,232,238,580 (as of 31 December 2024 current assets exceeded current liabilities by RON 1,169,529,314). At the same date the Company recorded a profit for the period of RON 55,227,752 (2024: RON 250,510,124)
The budget prepared by the management of the Company and approved by the Board of Directors for the year 2025, indicates positive cash flows from the operating activities, an increase in sales and profitability from the direct distribution on the Romanian market of generic medicine produced locally as well as the ones imported from other entities of the Group to which the Company belongs.
The management considers that the Company will be able to continue its activity in the foreseeable future and therefore the application of the going concern principle in the preparation of the financial statements is reasonable.
No significant changes occurred in the company's accounting policies and principles during the financial year concluded on March 31, 2025, compared to the accounting policies presented on December 31, 2024.
For management purposes, the Company is organized in business units based on its products and services. The Company has a single reportable segment, namely the production of medicines.
The Company's management monitors the operating results of the business for the purpose of making decisions regarding the allocation of resources and the assessment of performance. Performance is assessed based on the operating profit or loss, the profit before tax and it is quantified consistently with the operating profit or the loss in the financial statements.
The Company monitors the sales transactions, considering the domestic and external sales.

Starting the last quarter of the financial year ended 31 December 2009, in the pharmaceutical industry, for the companies holding Marketing Authorizations (MA) for certain medicines, a new tax was introduced and referred to as" claw-back tax". For the purpose of funding the public health expenses, MA holders included in the national health programs have the obligation to pay the claw-back tax quarterly for the concerned sales of medicines related to the concerned quarter based on the notifications received by the Company from the National Health Insurance House Fund (CNAS).
The contribution (the claw-back tax) is paid by the MA holders or by their legal representatives, if these medicines are:
Starting 2020, following several legal amendments brought by Law 53/2020 approving Ordinance no. 85/2019, differentiated claw-back contribution by types of medicines was introduced.
Specifically, for type I medicines (innovative medicines), the quarterly contribution is calculated by applying 25% on the value related to their centralized consumption (as communicated by the National Health Insurance Fund, after VAT deduction), while for type II (medicines produced in Romania, both innovative and generic) and type III medicines (generic medicines / any other medicines not classified as type I or II), the contribution is calculated by applying 15% and 20%, respectively.
In October 2023, Government Ordinance no. 88/2023 was published approving the amendment of art. 3^8 of Government Ordinance no. 77/2011, so that starting from Q3 2023, the quarterly clawback contribution is calculated and due differentiated depending on the classification of medicines into «type I medicines» and «type II medicines».
The list containing the classification of type I and type II medicines is approved quarterly by Minister of Health order, up to and including the 15th of the second month following the end of the quarter for which the contribution is due. The classification of medicines in the categories mentioned above is carried out by the National Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices in Romania.
Most of the medicines Zentiva have in its portfolio are classified under type II medicines, so the related clawback contribution is calculated by applying 15%.

As of 31 December 2022, the Company revalued the existing land and buildings in the Company's patrimony. The revaluation was made by an independent valuer in accordance with the International Valuation Standards.
Fair value was determined by reference to market information, using the net rental income capitalization approach as the main method in valuing buildings and special constructions and the market approach (direct comparison method), as a method for land valuation. The cost replacement approach was also applied as a secondary valuation method for the buildings valuation.
Valuation techniques are selected by the independent valuer in accordance with the International Valuation Standards, the type of property and the purpose of the valuation. Applying techniques and methods of measurement are in line with common practice for the type of asset value.
Fair value is generally determined by using inputs on level 3 of the fair value measurement hierarchy.
The inputs used in the valuation were:
b. For land:
➢ level 3 inputs representing sale prices taken from sale offers for similar pieces of land, publicly available, with adjustments made by the valuer depending on their comparability with the measured pieces of land.
The result of the evaluation was influenced by the main market inputs used, mainly: market value per square meter for land (estimated at EUR 149 / sqm), estimation of net rental revenues for buildings (estimating a monthly market rent, the occupancy rate of the property, the operating expenses, respectively the property tax, the insurance premium, administrative expenses and expenses for capital repairs and a capitalization rate of 9.5%).
The fair value of the Company's land of 77,877 sqm was determined by the valuer to be EUR 149/sqm.
The total fair value of the measured assets was RON 114,838,475. The sensitivity analysis of the overall value of the valued asset base, performed by using the main inputs under the income approach in the range - / + 1% for the capitalization rate and (3%) / + 5% in the degree of vacancy (cumulative sensitivity of the two basic indicators), indicated an interval of RON 108,1m - RON 121,1m.

The goodwill and customer relationships of the Company are related to transfer of distribution activity from Sanofi Romania as part of a carve-out process performed in 2018 by Sanofi Group, which included the transfer of the Generics distribution business from Sanofi Romania to Zentiva.
The Company performed an impairment testing on goodwill as of 31 December 2024 and respectively as of 31 December 2023 in accordance with IAS 36. The recoverable value of the CGU to which goodwill is allocated was significantly higher than the carrying value, so no impairment adjustments were identified. No reasonably possible change in the key assumptions on which management has based its determination of the recoverable value would cause the CGU's carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount.
The recoverable value was determined based on the value in use following the application of the discounted cash flow method within the income approach, using management's assumptions, namely: future cash flows estimated by the management for 9 years (2025 – 2033) determined taking into account an average annual growth rate of net sales of 4.8% (2023: 7.5%), a perpetuity growth rate of 2.5% (2023: 2.5%), operating margin of 2.45% (2023: 3.0%) and a WACC of 11.6% for 2025 and 10.5% for the period 2026 – 2033 (2023: WACC of 14.5% for 2024, 11.6% for 2025 and 10.5% for the period 2026 - 2032.)
