# **NET SALES AS OF JUNE 30, 2023**

**PCAS (Euronext Paris: PCA)**, a specialist in developing and producing complex molecules for life sciences and innovative technologies, has announced the publication of its consolidated net sales as of June 30, 2023.

The PCAS Group has generated consolidated net sales of €113.4 million as of June 30, 2023, a 3.3% increase compared to the same period during the previous financial year (+2.9% at constant exchange rates).

## **Pharmaceutical Synthesis**

The Pharmaceutical Synthesis business generated sales of €68.8 million, a 2.0% increase compared to 2022 (a 1.7% increase at a constant exchange rate). Adjusted for Estetrol, this growth came to +35.3% (+35.0% at constant exchange rates), mainly as a result of a strong activity at the Turku and Aramon sites, as well as higher demand for R&D services. Sales also benefited from the price increases implemented during the course of 2022.

## **Fine Specialty Chemicals**

Net sales of Specialty Fine Chemicals totaled €44.7 million, a 5.4% increase compared to 2022 (a 4.7% increase at constant exchange rates). Excluding sales of June 2022 of the Canadian subsidiary which was disposed at the beginning of June 2023, the increase is 11.0% (a 10.2% increase at constant exchange rates). Demand was generally good at the start of the year, with however a slowdown in the Lubricants business, offset by the dynamism of other activities and the effects of price increases implemented during the course of 2022.

## **Outlook**

+

In the context of the ongoing dispute with the customer Mithra, a temporary shutdown has been implemented during the second quarter of 2023 at the production site concerned, some of whose workshops are dedicated to the production of Estetrol. At this stage, it is still not possible to accurately assess the consequences of this dispute on future sales and earnings.

The sale of the Group's Canadian subsidiary at the beginning of June 2023 enabled to repay part of Seqens' current account debt and generated a significant capital gain, enabling PCAS to rebuild its shareholders' equity and generate positive net income. However, the PCAS Group's current operating income is likely to remain in deficit, and as indicated in the press releases of March 30 and April 24, 2023, the return to positive results, previously announced for 2023, has been postponed.

PCAS Group will continue to benefit from the support of its majority shareholder Seqens (owning 76.66%) for the financing of its activities and its development.
