Capital expenditure 10,397 28,030 5,745 0 44,173

Gross capital expenditures in the first six months of 2025 mainly relate to investments in compounding facilities in the United States and further software implementations. The investment expenditure excludes the change in investment obligations. The unallocated assets mainly relate to cash and cash equivalents. The unallocated liabilities mainly relate to financial debts.

10. Goodwill

The increase in goodwill is explained by business combinations as further explained in note 15 and exchange rate differences mainly caused by a weakening of the US dollar against the euro as per 31 December 2024.

11. Debt

On 19 February 2025, Fagron refinanced the syndicated credit facility consisting of revolving credit facility of 430 million euros and a term loan of 145 million euros. The term of the financing is 5 years with the option to extend twice for one year.

On 30 June 2025, the outstanding amount of the term loan was the full 145 million euros (December 2024: 235 million euros) and an amount of 205.3 million euros has been drawn under the revolving credit facility (December 2024: 106.3 million euros). Due to the refinancing the amount of term loan decreased, simultaneously increasing the amount drawn under the revolving credit facility. Additional funds are drawn to cover acquisition payments, next to that a part of the revolving credit facility is drawn in USD impacting the valuation compared to December 2024.

As of June 2025, Fagron hedged a part of the interest rate risk on the euro term loans for 80 million euros (December 2024: 130 million euros), of which 30 million euros will expire in August 2025, 30 million euros in August 2027 and 20 million euros in August 2028.

All financial instruments are valued at amortised cost except for derivative financial instruments and contingent considerations for acquisitions, which are valued at fair value. The fair value approximates the carrying amount.

The (re-)valuation of the interest rate derivative through the financial result is related to the USD part of the RCF which expired in August 2024 and was 0 million euros in H1-2025 (June 2024: 2.2 million euros).

The (re-) valuation of currency derivates through the financial result was 5.3 million euros (June 2024: 1.9 million euros). The financial costs are largely offset by income from exchange rate differences.

The effective interest rate for the first six months of 2025 is 3.9% (FY 2024: 3.6%). The increase is mainly driven by the interest hedges that have expired during 2024.

On 30 June 2025, the net financial debt / EBITDA ratio equals 1.5x and taking into account the 3.5x covenants associated to our debt, Fagron has plenty of flexibility to fund its expansion plans.

(x 1,000 euros) June 2025 June 2024
Financial income 1,756 2,286
Revaluation of financial derivatives 57 0
Total financial income 1,813 2,286
Financial expenses 4,909 3,815
Interest expenses 8,274 6,200
Interest on leasing liabilities 984 1,005
Currency translation differences 1,807 960
Revaluation of financial derivatives 0 2,242
Total financial expenses 15,974 14,222
Total financial result -14,161 -11,936

The financial income includes mainly interest income from credit institutions. The financial expenses mainly comprises of creditcard and bank expenses.

The revaluation of financial derivatives of -2.2 million euros in 2024 relates to the change in the market value of interest rate derivatives that, in accordance with IFRS 9, cannot be presented as cash flow hedging instruments and does not involve cash flow. Interest rate derivatives were valued on a discounted cash flow basis.

The financial result, excluding the revaluation of financial derivatives, amounts to -14.2 million euros in June 2025 (June 2024: -9.7 million euros).

12. Contingencies

Fagron runs certain risks for which no provision has been made. These have been mentioned in the Fagron consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 and no significant new events have taken place.

13. Total adjustment for non-cash items

Changes in operational working capital -24,389 -31,359
Changes in other working capital -9,670 -29
Total changes in working capital -34,059 -31,388

The changes in other working capital have mainly to do with the annual invoices received and deferred charges. The cash out compared to previous year have mainly to do with timing of payments in VAT, employee benefits and related taxes.

15. Business combination

Fair value of acquired assets and liabilities

In the first semester of 2025 Fagron acquired several companies. Full control was acquired of all group companies. As the acquired activities were immediately – in their entirety or to a significant degree – integrated in existing entities of Fagron, their respective contribution to the profit of Fagron have not been reported separately.

The acquisition of EuroOTC's raw materials business will enhance our presence in Germany, the acquisition of Guinama will strengthen our market leadership position in Iberia and the CareFirst acquisition strengthens our market position in the United States. The provisional determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for these companies resulted in a combined adjustment of 39.2 million euros to goodwill. The provisional fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities is detailed below.

(x 1,000 euros) June 2025
Intangible fixed assets 10,776
Property, plant and equipment 3,338
Other non current assets 3
Inventories 3,624
Trade receivables 1,358
Other receivables 947
Cash and cash equivalents 604
Total assets 20,651
Borrowings 826
Provisions 79
Lease liabilities 2,760
Deferred taxes liabilities 2,905
Trade payables 1,442
Other current payables 733
Total liabilities 8,745
Net acquired assets 11,906
Goodwill 39,229
Total acquisition amount 51,135

The final determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities from previous acquisitions, acquired in 2025, resulted in an adjustment of 2.1 million euros (derease of goodwill). The changes are mainly the result of the recognition of intangible assets.

Contingent considerations

On 30 June 2025, Fagron has outstanding liabilities of approximately 11.6 million euros to selling shareholders which were determined based on business plans at the time of acquisition. 3.2 million euros of these liabilities are related to acquisitions before 2025.

Subsequent payments for business combinations are expected to be paid before the end of 2027.

The subsequent payments for business combinations vary between 5.4 million euros and a maximum of 11.6 million euros. The retrospective payments are valued at fair value at the moment of acquisition. The current expectation is that the remunerations will be paid on the expiration dates.

16. Related parties

The members of the Executive Leadership Team and the non-executive directors are considered as related parties. The remuneration policy is described in the Corporate Governance Statement which is part of the 2024 annual report and the Remuneration policy directors and executive leadership team available on www.fagron.com. The remuneration is determined on a yearly basis; therefore, no further details are provided in these interim financial statements.

In the first six months of 2025, 144,491 performance shares and 112,788 performance share units were granted to Fagron's executive leadership team and employees. The performance objectives are based on a combination of financial objectives and sustainability objectives.

17. Subsequent events

Beginning of July 2025 Fagron signed and closed the acquisition of Bella corp, a specialized Australian supplier of premium quality materials, equipment and supplies to compounding pharmacies.

End of July 2025 Fagron signed and closed the acquisition of Uni-Chem and SB Trade, the two leading players in the Serbian compounding market, and Active Pharma, the market leader in the Essentials segment in the UK.

The combined enterprise value of all the above acquisitions is c.€13m and are fully financed through Fagron's own resources. On a combined basis, these businesses will contribute mid-to-high teens million euros of revenue and operate with an EBITDA margin below Fagron's existing group margin.

18. Effective tax rate

Recognised income tax expenses are based on management's best estimate of the weighted average effective income tax rate of 22.5% for June 2025 (June 2024: 21.4%).

19. Alternative performance measures

In addition to the performance measures defined in IFRS, other measures are also used in these interim financial statements. These "alternative performance measures" are set out below:

We have reviewed the accompanying Condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Fagron NV and its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2025 and the related Condensed consolidated income statement, the Condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the Condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the Condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the six-months period, as well as the explanatory notes (the "condensed consolidated interim financial information*). This condensed consolidated interim financial information is characterised by total assets of KEUR 1.119.146 and a profit for the six-month period of KEUR 45.780.

The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, as adopted by the European Union.

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A review of the Interim Financial Statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
