1. Executive Summary

"Women's Healthcare shifted gears, Vraylar continued to enjoy strong demand growth, and Biotech losses narrowed in the last quarter. With a robust Q2 we are now tracking in line with our annual guidance despite the strong base. Our innovative pillar has seen important progress lately: in Neuroscience a second phase 2 clinical trial (in GAD) was initiated in the AbbVie-partnered program, RGH-932, thus two parallel phase 2 studies are running now, while preclinical projects also are moving forward according to plan. The Granata Bio partnership marks an important step in establishing our presence in the US fertility market, which, coupled with the strong momentum in menopause, endometriosis and fertility more broadly, makes us confident that we are on the right track in executing our strategy." (Gábor Orbán, CEO)

4. Performance of Business Units

4.1. Presentation of the Business Units

Richter's Management introduced a new long-term strategy for the Company in 2025, building on previous achievements and evolving market dynamics. The updated strategic framework centres on innovation and affordability and is driven by the Group's vision to improve quality of life globally. Richter is dedicated to developing, manufacturing, and commercializing innovative and affordable pharmaceuticals that raise therapeutic standards of care and expand patient access globally.

Innovative: A Global Thought-leader, Elevating Standards of Care

Richter's ambition is to be a global thought-leader and innovator in some well-defined scientific fields. The Group's R&D investments are focused on delivering breakthrough therapies in areas of high unmet need.

In Neuropsychiatry (CNS), Richter will focus on maximizing the value of cariprazine by its loss of exclusivity, while also ensuring CNS remains a value-adding business in the 2030s and 40s. The existing unmet need, the enormous social cost of mental disorders, the ever-increasing demand for treatments (including growing disease awareness) and promising innovations continue to make original research in neuropsychiatry an attractive proposition. Richter will leverage its unparalleled discovery platform and pre-clinical capability, its collaboration with AbbVie and its well-established local ecosystem to build a healthy pipeline of projects and to develop a new molecule with blockbuster potential.

In Women's Healthcare (WHC), Richter is committed to address unmet medical needs by developing and delivering market-leading solutions in its established therapeutic segments (contraception, fertility, endometriosis and menopause), while also introducing novel therapies in urinary tracts, PCOS and women's oncology. Leveraging its fully integrated value chain with the recently established proprietary research and its ability to embrace external innovation, Richter will also broaden its geographic focus by increasing its presence in the US and strengthen its position in Western Europe.

Affordability: Expanding Access to Health

Affordability is the cornerstone of Richter's mission to make medicines and treatments accessible to an ever-wider range of patients globally.

In General Medicines (GM) large-scale and high-value LoEs (loss of exclusivity) in the relevant therapeutic areas (Cardiovascular, traditional CNS, Blood Therapies and Diabetes/Obesity) create attractive growth prospects. Operational excellence in core regions combined with synergies between small and large molecule capabilities will enable Richter to expand its geographic reach into Western Europe and deliver integrated therapeutic solutions for patients and healthcare providers.

Biotechnology (BIO) is the fastest growing business unit, scaling rapidly with several biosimilar launches and expanding CDMO capacity and services. Key therapeutic focus areas in biosimilars include attractive markets of immunology and musculoskeletal. In the CDMO business Richter continues to provide development and manufacturing services across the full spectrum of biologics thought its multiple sites in Germany and Hungary.

A detailed presentation of each of the above business units can be found in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 40-41.

The turnover of these four Business Units (CNS, WHC, BIO and GM) is presented in detail in the following.

Cariprazine, our flagship product discovered by Richter scientists in the early 2000s was launched in 2016 in the USA under the trademark, Vraylar® . The product is marketed in Western Europe by Recordati while Richter performs sales and marketing activities for this product in Central Europe and Eastern Europe under the brand name Reagila® . Richter has signed a number of bilateral agreements to commercialize Reagila® in other non-European markets.

About 94% of the product turnover originates in North America and is denominated in USD. Vraylar® royalty income due to Richter in the first half of 2025 amounted to HUF 116,972m (USD 316.3m). The figures above also include royalty income paid on AbbVie sales recorded in Canada in 2024. HUF denominated turnover was positively impacted by favourable exchange rate movements experienced in the reported period.

Proceeds from Reagila® amounted to HUF 7,422m (EUR 18.4m) during the reported period.

Global Reach

Cariprazine launched in 68 countries globally by the end of first half 2025, with reimbursement almost everywhere, where it is theoretically possible.

Notes on CNS profitability

AbbVie's sales performance of Vraylar® continued to grow by double digit compared to the base period.

The significant 22% increase in Clean EBIT is the result of higher royalty revenues from Vraylar® while operating expenses remaining largely flat. In addition, a milestone revenue (HUF 4,468m) linked to AbbVie co-development program was received during the reported period.

WHC sales in the first half 2025 totalled HUF 168,761m representing an increase of HUF 19,242m (or 12.9%) compared to the sales levels achieved in the same period of the previous year.

  • In the first half of 2025, the Group achieved double-digit growth in almost all WHC therapeutic areas, except for contraception, compared to the same period last year.
  • Sales of Ryeqo® recorded excellent growth due to higher turnover in Western Europe, notably in the UK, Spain, France and Germany.
  • Drovelis®, launched in 2021, also contributed materially to sales growth achieved during the reported period. Sales of Drovelis® grew primarily in Western Europe, particularly in Italy, Germany and Belgium and also showed strong performance in Russia, Canada and Poland. US revenues include royalty income from partner-revenues as a result the acquisition of certain Mithra assets in June 2024, and also contributed to the sizeable YoY growth in Drovelis®-related revenues.

Acquisition announced during the reported period

On 13 May 2025 Richter announced the acquisition of a significant stake in Granata Bio, a US-based company focused on reproductive health. Granata Bio brings deep expertise in business development, research and development (R&D), regulatory strategy and commercialization. As part of the transaction, Richter will become a major investor in Granata Bio and gain a seat on Granata Bio's Board of Directors.

Notes on WHC profitability

A substantial, double-digit growth in revenue characterised our WHC portfolio across the most important Western European markets and in Russia.

The increase of gross profit reported reflects primarily a volume growth combined with positive changes in the sales mix with expanding sales volumes of high margin oral contraceptives and innovative products.

Despite strong sales performance, Clean EBIT declined from HUF 33,723m to HUF 27,759m YoY due to increases in cost items. The biggest negative impact came from R&D costs as the new R&D hub in Belgium also added to R&D expenses in the reporting period.

Total sales proceeds from teriparatide increased by 12.0% in HUF terms (or 8.0% in EUR terms) and totalled HUF 14,610m (EUR 36.1m) in the first half of 2025. Sales of the Biotechnology Business Unit includes HUF 14,833m (EUR 36.7m) of CDMO projects in addition to turnover of teriparatide. These figures increased by 10.1% in HUF terms (by 6.4% in EUR terms) when compared to the first half of 2024.

R&D activities carried out in Biotechnology

Richter's Biotechnology Business Unit made notable progress in the first half of 2025 and reached several milestones, reinforcing its position as a rising player in the biosimilars space with a growing portfolio of biosimilar and bioequivalent products aimed at expanding global access to high-quality biologics.

Denosumab (RGB-14):

Richter received marketing authorization from the European Commission for Junod® and Yaxwer®, its biosimilar denosumab products targeting osteoporosis and oncology indications. This follows a positive CHMP opinion from the EMA, marking Richter's first denosumab approvals in Europe.

Tocilizumab (RGB-19):

The clinical program for Richter's biosimilar tocilizumab was successfully completed, and a marketing authorization application was submitted to the EMA for multiple indications in early 2025.

Ustekinumab (RGB-26):

The biosimilar ustekinumab program (run by Bio-Thera with Richter having exclusive commercialization rights in the European Union, the UK, Switzerland and selected other countries) received a positive CHMP opinion from the EMA in June and will be referred to the European Commission, which will decide whether to grant marketing authorization.

Notes on BIO profitability

Total revenue of HUF 29,443m, with cost of sales of HUF 19,024m, resulting in a gross profit of HUF 10,419m.

S&M expenses stood at HUF 3,620m, while G&A expenses reached HUF 2,215m. R&D costs declined to HUF 12,037m from HUF 16,696m in the previous year.

As a result, Clean EBIT improved to HUF -8,535m, primarily driven by lower R&D spending.

Hungary

Turnover in Hungary grew by +5.1% in first half of 2025 and totalled HUF 25,680m. Growth was driven by Telexer's continued launch, Politrate and Co-Exeter mainly. Panangin had softer performance in H1. The Company continues to rank first amongst players in the Hungarian generic pharmaceutical market with a market share of 15.1%.

Poland

Turnover in Poland increased by +12.5% in HUF terms, or +6.7% in PLN terms in the first half of 2025 and totalled HUF 15,725m (PLN 165.1m). The sales growth was driven by key brands Groprinosin, Fosfomycin and Cavinton that included some preshipments in June to ensure stocks before seasonality. Telexer (Dabigatran) also contributed to growth as its market share was picking up, Kogavant launch showed a strong start, while we aim to reinforce Kardatuxan (rivaroxaban) in a very competitive market. Certain preshipments realised at the end of the second quarter positively impacted the performance achieved.

Romania

General Medicines sales in Romania were HUF 8,116m (RON 100.2m) in the first half of 2025. Sales increased by 2.6% ( while decreased by 0.7% in RON terms), wholesalers decreased the stocks.

Russia

Sales to Russia at HUF 40,768m (RUB 9,660.8m) increased by 23.4% in HUF terms (while increased by 15.2% in RUB terms). The price increases impacted our year-on-year performance in this market by an average of 7.2% during the reported period, relating to our non-EDL portfolio. In distributors' sales we almost have the same dynamic, +14% in RUB.

Ukraine

Sales reported in Ukraine in the first half of 2025, at HUF 3,090m (EUR 7.6m) decreased by 17.0% (19.9% in EUR terms) compared to the same period of 2024. The main reason for the drop of sales is the destocking of distributors. Since the model change in distribution, from end of January we have started to supply the distributors from our affiliate, in UAH terms with certificated and customs cleared products, so they can maintain lower stock levels.

Due to a change in Ukrainian legislation, marketing authorizations issued for products having sufficient competitors on the market may be revoked if their manufacturer operates manufacturing units and pays taxes in Russia. A procedure implementing the suspension of 53 of our products was initiated in October 2022 on this legal basis. Authorities warned the Company that should it maintain its Russian manufacturing base, marketing authorizations will be revoked in respect of 10 Richter brands sold in 29 different formulations with effect from early 2025. Richter is going to legally challenge this decision.

In Kazakhstan, we had a destocking effect in June, because a mandatory price decrease was announced by government from 2nd of July 2025, and distributors tried to minimalize their expecting losses, later the decision was postponed.

Global Co-Development Agreement for Semaglutide Injection

In a strategic move, Richter entered into a co-development and license agreement with Adalvo Ltd. for a proposed bioequivalent to semaglutide injection, a GLP-1 receptor agonist indicated for chronic weight management.

Notes on GM profitability

In the first half of 2025, total revenue reached HUF 130,830m, with cost of sales amounting to HUF 59,321m, leading to a gross profit of HUF 71,509m.

Operating expenses increased across all three categories. S&M expenses rose by 7.0%, while G&A grew by 8.9%. R&D spending remained broadly flat YoY.

Consequently, Clean EBIT amounted to HUF 21,897m, 5.2% higher when compared to the base period.

5. Research and Development

Research and development have always played an important role in the Company's life, with top priorities of research of original drug molecules, new product launches and innovation in the Company's strategy since its foundation in 1901. Gedeon Richter Plc, with more than 1,200 employees in the field of research and development, remains the most significant pharmaceutical research base in the Central and Eastern European region. Pharmaceutical R&D at the Company embraces four strategic areas, notably recombinant biotechnological activities, research and development of new chemical entities (NCEs), women's healthcare R&D projects, and generic product developments.

5.1. R&D Activities Serving the Goals of Certain Business Units

In 2024 the significant changes, introduced during previous year in the Company's operation and governance model stabilized and became part of our everyday life. The new organization and the changed responsibilities had beneficial effect on the operation of the R&D organization. R&D processes and decision points today comply with the need of the new operation model based on Business Units. It is important to emphasize that R&D Directorate is continuously responsible for small molecule development both for NCE (CNS), GM and WHC Business units. The two foreign finish dosage form development unit (in Poland and Romania) is under professional management of this Directorate and supply with new products primarily the GM Business unit, and the same is true for the R&D activities of the last year acquired Belgian companies working for WHC Business units. Finish dosage form development of the NCE and WHC projects remained at Budapest site. Global Medical Division and the Analytical Department of clinical samples, both part of the Research and Development Directorate, continuously cooperated with all Business Units, including the Biotechnology Business Unit, and supported the latter's work in the implementation of clinical trials.

Based on the preliminary data of the last year ended Phase II study, Richter will not pursue further the development of RGH-706 and started to investigate to divest this asset. Unfortunately, due to the negative results of other company's clinical trials in our targeted indications and the bad human pharmacokinetic data led us to stop further development of RGH-857 and RGH-662. During last half year we, jointly with AbbVie, successfully started the second Phase II clinical trial of RGH-932, investigating safety and efficacy of this compound in patients in two indications. The Belgian companies dedicated to WHC developments started to use our tried and tested project management system from HQ for NCE research and developments, and targets of the project are evaluated according to the same strict criteria for the whole Richter Gedeon group. With this system it is our intention to secure the same success rate for CNS and WHC projects.

During the period in question generic developments were successfully continued, all the bioequivalence studies finished with positive outcome, supporting to reach our company's strategic goals.

7. Risk Management

The risk management activity is an integral part of Richter's activities and corporate governance system. It is closely connected to the realization of the Company's strategic goals. The purpose of the risk management is the timely identification, evaluation and management of risks with cost effective measures that threaten the stable operation of Richter, the achievement of its business goals, the proper care of patients. To achieve this, Richter introduced a holistic and integrated risk management system, which examines and manages all of the Company's risks together with their interrelationships. The Investment Committee is held on a weekly basis, where financial risks are regularly reviewed. To support business continuity, the Company operates an integrated business continuity management system, which it continuously develops.

8. Litigation Proceedings

NewChem S.p.A. filed claim in Switzerland against Estetra SRL for breaching Drospirenone API supply agreement. Estetra SRL was acquired by the Company from previous owner Mithra Pharmaceuticals in 2024. The court procedure is ongoing.

Bayer AG has requested preliminary injunction and initiated court procedures in 2024, claiming infringement in Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Poland, Latvia, Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, on the bases of its indication patent EP 1845961 against the Company due to entering certain markets with Richter's generic product containing Rivaroxaban as active pharmaceutical ingredient. As a result of those procedures in certain Countries Richter was banned from the market, while in other Countries the court grated limited injunction, furthermore in some Countries the court refused Bayer AG's request. Procedures are ongoing and no final decision has been taken so far.

9. Sustainability Overview

Gedeon Richter Plc. falls under the scope of the European Union's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which requires that, starting in 2025, sustainability-related information be disclosed in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). Our first CSRD-compliant integrated annual report, covering the 2024 financial year, presented the sustainability status, overarching approach, and guiding principles of the Richter Group. This overview outlines key developments and data from the reporting period, structured along the material ESRS topics.

9.1. Environmental information

In the first half of 2025, the Richter Group issued a new Group-level EHS (Environment, Health and Safety) Guideline, establishing a unified framework for managing environmental, health, and safety issues across the organization. The Guideline aligns EHS-related instructions and applies to all business areas, with particular — but not exclusive — focus on research and development, manufacturing, and supply chain operations. It reinforces our commitment to minimizing the environmental impact of our operations and to promoting sustainable practices through conscious resource use, waste reduction, and improved energy efficiency. The document is publicly available on Richter's official website.

Improving carbon footprint management

As part of our climate protection efforts, we continued the development of our Group-level carbon strategy in the first half of 2025. Over the past year, we reviewed our emission calculation methodology, which now fully complies with the requirements of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the GHG Protocol, including the underlying data sources. We are currently conducting an assessment of our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, including forward-looking projections. Our goal is to define reduction targets by the end of 2025 that ensure emission reductions are achieved while supporting the growth objectives set out in our 2035 corporate strategy.

Expansion of renewable energy production

In the first half of 2025, we increased our own renewable energy production by 60%, compared to the same period of the previous year. We expanded our capacities by launching a solar power system at our Romanian site, and by initiating the second phase of a similar project at our Debrecen facility. During this period, our own electricity generation reached 4,136 MWh, covering approximately 3.5% of our total electricity consumption.

Green energy procurement

In July 2025, Richter signed a three-year green power purchase agreement (PPA) to source 24 GWh of renewable electricity annually from 2026. Combined with our own solar power capacity, we will be able to cover approximately 50% of our total electricity needs from renewable sources in Hungary. This hybrid solution—which combines solar and wind energy with physical power delivery—not only reduces our environmental impact and enhances energy supply reliability, but also supports procurement cost optimization and a closer alignment with our consumption profile.

In 2025, prior to the PPA taking effect, we are purchasing approximately 30 GWh of renewable electricity certified with Guarantee of Origin (GO) certificates. Our goal is to cover approximately 50% of our Hungarian electricity consumption from renewable sources during this period as well.

9.2. Social information

People and culture initiatives

In 2024, we laid the foundations of the company's diversity strategy. Four focus areas were identified: working together in a fourgeneration workplace; supporting women's career paths; fostering value-creating cooperation between blue-collar and white-collar employees; and promoting cultural diversity across our various geographical locations.

In 2025, we organized the Beyond Borders Week for the first time, a week-long program series introducing these four focus areas to our employees. The program included roundtable discussions, reverse mentoring sessions (where younger employees share their perspectives with more experienced colleagues), lectures addressing stereotypes, and online inclusion training.

In June 2025, we launched Richter's new internal communication platform, RinGO, designed to provide all employees in Hungary with easy access to company news, events, and practical information for day-to-day administration. During the roll-out, special attention was given to community-building features to further strengthen our internal collaboration. In its first month, more than 85% of our employees registered on the platform. RinGO is not only a technological upgrade but also a strategic step towards a business-driven,

conscious, and value-based corporate internal communication approach that effectively supports both organizational culture development and the achievement of corporate objectives.

Remuneration

As of 1 March 2025, we implemented an average 7.6% increase in wages at our Hungarian sites, recognising the dedicated efforts of our employees. The scale of this wage adjustment exceeded the average salary increase of major pharmaceutical manufacturers in Hungary this year. In addition, we reward the expertise and performance of our employees through further incentive schemes: in the case of operational profit overachievement, we provide additional remuneration in the form of extraordinary bonuses. Following the overachievement of our 2024 targets, we paid out up to 10% extra bonus to our employees in March 2025.

Occupational health and safety

The Richter Group's new EHS Guideline, issued in the first half of the year and also covering health and safety aspects, is presented in the Environmental Information section.

Our occupational health and safety initiatives, along with risk mitigation measures, have contributed to the consistently low incidence rate. During the reporting period, we did not register any acute, recurring, or chronic health issues attributable to working conditions. Key indicators for the period are presented in the table below.

* The table does not include data from the Richter Themis site in India.

** Calculated based on full-time equivalent (FTE) employees.

Value chain, supplier management

Although the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), which requires companies to identify, assess, and, where necessary, mitigate ESG risks within their value chains, is expected to come into force in approximately two years, its national transposition in Hungary (Act CVIII of 2023) already entered into effect in January 2025. In line with this, we have launched the development of a domestic supplier risk assessment practice. Our aim is to establish a transparent, standardized, and riskproportionate procedure to identify, monitor, and reduce ESG-relevant exposures in our partner network, thereby strengthening the sustainability and resilience of our supply chains.

Regulatory compliance is also supported by a procurement transformation project focused on the implementation of a Group-level standard Supplier Lifecycle Management process, including the introduction of the Ariba Supplier Lifecycle and Performance (SLP) module. In the first phase of the project, we are reviewing and restructuring our existing supplier pre-qualification, due diligence, and performance evaluation practices into a unified and transparent framework, supported by a central IT platform. The system is scheduled to go live in Hungary in 2026, followed by gradual implementation across our subsidiaries.

Access to Health

'Richter 2035', our new long-term strategy, sets the direction for continued growth beyond the patent expiry of cariprazine. The strategy is built on two pillars—developing innovative therapies and expanding access to essential medicines—both contributing to the promotion of global access to healthcare. In the first half of 2025, these objectives were supported by acquisitions and product development milestones. As a notable example, we acquired a stake in Granata Bio, a U.S.-based biotechnology company focused on women's health, strengthening our presence in the field of innovative therapies. We also made progress in our denosumab biosimilar development program: the European Commission granted marketing authorisation for two of our products, and in the United States, a Biologics License Application (BLA) was submitted as part of a partnership with Hikma Pharmaceuticals. These steps contribute both to advancing innovation and to improving access to affordable, essential biological therapies worldwide, particularly for patients affected by osteoporosis and bone metastases.

Corporate social responsibility

Our social responsibility efforts focus on healthcare and education, two areas closely aligned with our core activities and professional mission. Through programs promoting health awareness and science education, we contribute to the long-term development of society and support the future generation of professionals. We pay special attention to supporting women's health, social recognition, and overall well-being. In the first half of 2025, we contributed over HUF 1.5bn to initiatives supporting healthcare, public health awareness, science education, and particularly the health, social standing, and professional recognition of women.

In the field of science education, our flagship initiative is the Richter TETT (Te és a természettudományok; 'You and the natural sciences') story-writing competition, organized in cooperation with the Public Benefit Foundation for Science Education in Memory of Szabolcs Szabó (Természettudományos Oktatásért Szabó Szabolcs Emlékére Közhasznú Alapítvány) for primary and secondary school students. Launched in 2021, the program's fourth season concluded in 2025, attracting 663 entries. Our TETT program was acknowledged by the DOING GOOD CSR and the EFFEKT 2030 awards.

Richter Egészségváros, one of our most well-known and longstanding social responsibility initiatives, continued in the spring of 2025. Since its launch in 2009, the program has visited 110 locations across Hungary, and in the first half of 2025, it was held in Sátoraljaújhely, Győr, and Gyöngyös, offering free health screenings, educational lectures, and lifestyle counselling to local residents, while providing financial support for key projects at local healthcare institutions. Across the three locations, more than 6,000 health screenings were completed, and HUF 63.1m was raised in donations for local hospitals.

In cooperation with the Hungarian Charity Service of the Order of Malta (Magyar Máltai Szeretetszolgálat) and the Association of Hungarian Health Visitors (Magyar Védőnők Egyesülete), we launched our educational program Richter RAJT at the end of 2023. Its purpose is to provide essential sexual education for children living in extreme poverty in Hungarian communities. The program raises awareness among both girls and boys on important topics such as conscious family planning, intimate hygiene, responsible relationships, sexually transmitted diseases, the importance of health screenings, contraception, and abortion prevention. By promoting knowledge and preventive thinking, the initiative helps reduce health risks and contributes to a better quality of life. By spring 2025, more than 1,000 students had participated in interactive sessions at 10 locations, with teachers also expanding their knowledge through workshops where professionals answered their questions.

As one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies in women's healthcare, Richter places strong emphasis on improving women's health and quality of life in every country where we operate. With financial support from Richter, a new centre offering healthcare, educational support, and shelter for vulnerable women was opened in spring 2025 in Bamako, the capital of Mali. Through this new centre, Richter aims to assist nearly 300 women annually from the region. The Gedeon Richter House of Hope was established in cooperation with the Hungary-based Close to Africa Foundation (Közel Afrikához Alapítvány), local partners, and the Sini Sanuman Foundation. Richter covered a significant portion of the construction costs and will continue to support the operation of the centre for the next four years. Part of the equipment costs was funded by the Hungary Helps Program, an initiative of the Hungarian Government.

9.3. Corporate governance and business conduct

In line with our commitment to transparency and in compliance with regulatory obligations, we prepared our Corporate Governance Report for the 2024 financial year in the first half of 2025. During this period, we also adopted a new Independence Guideline, which – beyond the existing conflict-of-interest rules – sets out in detail the independence requirements and board composition principles that the Company considers essential for members of the Board of Directors and Supervisory Board, further strengthening the transparency of our corporate governance system. In addition, Richter's Statutes were updated to reflect changes in the operational and regulatory environment. All of the above-mentioned documents (Corporate Governance Report, Independence Guideline, and Statutes) are publicly available on Richter's official website.

Richter's ESG Committee held two meetings in the first half of 2025 and made several decisions outside of formal meetings, addressing key current strategic and operational ESG topics.

In the first half of 2025, our administrative, executive, supervisory bodies and their committees addressed several topics relevant from an ESG perspective, including:

  • the approval of the Richter Group's first integrated annual report and accompanying audit report prepared in accordance with the CSRD requirements,
  • the review of 2024 risk management activities,
  • the definition of ESG parameters in the CEO's performance-based remuneration targets,
  • the presentation of internal employee-related programs and strategic initiatives,
  • the approval of the ESG report prepared under the provisions of Act CVIII of 2023 (Hungarian ESG law),
  • the review of the Investor Relations and ESG Department's activities, as well as shareholder returns.

Global Compliance Programme and anti-corruption

The Richter Group is committed to ethical business conduct and adherence to the highest compliance standards. Our policies and guidelines, operated under the Global Compliance Program, cover all areas of day-to-day operations. The Code of Ethics and the Anti-Corruption Manual are publicly available on Richter's website. In the first half of 2025, we updated our Code of Ethics, with the new version also made publicly accessible. The revision was prompted by the extension of our online reporting channel (Virtual Compliance Officer – VCO) to our Australian and Latin American subsidiaries, and by the standardisation of procedures governing the investigation of reports. Key updates include the addition of references to relevant international conventions in the main text of the Code of Ethics and the revision of its annexes in line with the VCO's extension: we standardised the procedures for handling compliance reports and provided clear guidance to whistleblowers on which reporting channel to use depending on their region. We also expanded the VCO reporting categories to include ESG topics, allowing for the reporting of social responsibility and environmental risks, as well as related violations, arising from the activities of the Company, its subsidiaries, or its direct suppliers.

Our Compliance Hotline is available to employees both for reporting potential breaches and for raising questions related to the Global Compliance Program. Summary data on complaints and incidents received in the first half of 2025 is provided in the table below.

1. General background

1.1 Legal status and nature of operations

Gedeon Richter Plc. ("the Company"/"Parent Company"), the immediate parent of the Group (consisting of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries), a manufacturer of pharmaceutical products based in Budapest, was established first as a Public Limited Company in 1923. The predecessor of the Parent Company was founded in 1901 by Mr Gedeon Richter, when he acquired a pharmacy. The Company is a public limited company, which is listed on Budapest Stock Exchange. The Company's headquarter is in Hungary and its registered office is at Gyömrői út 19-21, 1103 Budapest.

1.2 Basis of preparation

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of Richter Group for the period ended 30 June 2025 have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements comply with the Hungarian Accounting Law on consolidated financial statements, which refers to the IFRS as endorsed by the EU.

The interim report has not been audited and does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report.

Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the Annual report for the year ended 31 December 2024 and any public announcements made by Richter during the interim reporting period.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.

In the reported period the Group received HUF 4,495 million one-off payments (milestone income) while in the reference period it was HUF 2,679 million.

Claw-back expenses are partial repayments of the received Sales revenue of the reimbursed products to the State where the product was distributed (further "claw-back"). In accordance with the announced claw-back regime local authorities established the amount of extraordinary tax to be paid based on the comparison of the subsidies allocated for reimbursed drugs and manufacturers' sales thereof. Other expenses include expenditures in respect of the claw-back regimes effective in Hungary, Romania, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Italy, Bulgaria, Austria, Poland, Latvia, Croatia, Slovenia, Greece, Ireland, UK, Czech Republic and Switzerland amounting to HUF 5,568 million in the first half of 2025 (in 2024 half year: HUF 5,703 million).

In the first half of 2025, HUF 7,508 million inventory impairment and scrapping were recorded related to some supply chain and quality issues.

The provisions recognized in first half of 2025 were primarily related to ongoing litigation and/or legal cases, including a case related to liabilities identified during an acquisition in 2024 that were not covered by an escrow account.

5. Net financial result

The Group is translating its foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities to the period-end exchange rate on individual item level, which is presented in the Consolidated Income Statement separately as "Finance income" or "Finance costs". Since the Management of the Group is analysing these translation differences on net basis, balances are presented on net basis as follows:

(1) All financial assets are free from liens and charges.

(2) The fair value of interest rate swap was discounted to present value by the Group using the available interest rate curve on the market. In case of those corporate bonds, which are recognised under the fair value option, the present value was determined using the discounted cash-flow method. Based on the mentioned valuation techniques the financial instruments were assigned to Level 2 and Level 3 category.

(3) There is not significant different between the carrying value and fair value of the loan receivables.

8.2 Fair value of financial assets

On 13 May 2025, Richter entered into a royalty purchase agreement with Granata Bio related to the commercialization of the human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) product in the United States. The agreement grants the Group an entitlement to a share of future royalty revenues, thereby further strengthening its presence in the U.S. women's healthcare market.

In accordance with IFRS 9, the acquired royalty interest is recognized as a financial instrument and measured at fair value in accordance with IFRS 13. As the valuation relies on unobservable inputs (such as expected cash flows and discount rates), the instrument is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The change in fair value for the financial year 2025 amounted to HUF 968 million and was recognized in the income statement.

9. Derivative financial instruments

Government bonds and corporate bonds purchased by the Parent Company are fixed interest rate debt securities. In order to manage the market risk arising from fixed interest rates, the Parent has entered into interest rate swaps in the case of debt instruments, during which it exchanges fixed interest rates for variables. The maturity and currency data of these transactions are summarized in the table below.

The Group's derivative instruments are interest rate-, commodity swaps and foreign currency forwards.

Derivatives are only used for economic hedging purposes and not as speculative investments. However, where derivatives do not meet the hedge accounting criteria, they are classified as "held for trading" for accounting purposes and are accounted for at fair value through profit or loss.

In 2021 the Group recognized the corporate bonds and related interest rate swaps at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate or materially reduce recognition or measurement inconsistencies (accounting mismatch) which would have existed, if the Group had not selected the fair value option based on IFRS 9. The fair value option was selected at initial measurement and recognition.
