Key figures.

Continuing to build on our strong growth across Europe.

Business model, Group structure and corporate governance.

The statements made in the 2023 Annual Report regarding the business model, the Group structure, the management system and the corporate governance practices still apply at the time of publication of this interim report.

Business development.

Consolidated revenues and results of operations.

Sales of prescription and non-prescription pharmaceuticals and pharmacy-related beauty and personal care products are subject to seasonal fluctuations, with demand for pharmaceuticals especially high during the first and fourth quarters of the year.

Redcare Pharmacy successfully continued to grow in the first quarter, with Group revenues increasing by 50.6% to EUR 560.2 million (Q1 2023: EUR 372.1 million), and 18.6% excluding MediService AG in Switzerland. As in previous years, the number of active customers rose significantly and now stands at 11.2 million. This represents a gain of more than 1.5 million customers compared to the end of the first quarter of last year.

The number of orders reached 8.9 million in Q1, with an average shopping basket value, excluding MediService and platform, of EUR 58.9 (Q1 2023: EUR 57.9). The share of repeat orders in Q1 was at a high level of 87%, above the previous year's 84%, while the return rate remained minimal at less than 1%.

Redcare Pharmacy's continuously growing active customer base.

With a growth rate of 27.0%, gross profit at Group level increased significantly in the first quarter compared to the same period last year, from EUR 103.1 million to EUR 130.9 million. The consolidated gross margin was 23.4% (Q1 2023: 27.7%). The lower gross margin is due to the consolidation of MediService AG with its Rx business, which typically has lower gross margins (as a percentage of sales) but a significantly higher contribution per parcel in absolute terms.

Adjusted Selling and Distribution (S&D) expenses for the total Group were EUR 103.1 million in Q1 (Q1 2023: EUR 83.6 million), or 18.4% of sales (Q1 2023: 22.5%). Excluding MediService, S&D as a percentage of sales was 22.5%, in line with last year. Inflationary related cost increases were largely offset by broad efficiency gains in both marketing and operations, while the Group invested in marketing for the e-prescription opportunity in Germany.

Adjusted administrative costs in Q1 were EUR 16.1 million (Q1 2023: EUR 10.8 million). As a percentage of sales, adjusted administrative costs amounted to 2.9% in the first quarter, at the same level as last year.

Redcare Pharmacy's adjusted EBITDA stood at EUR 11.7 million (margin 2.1%) in Q1 2024. Last year, it was EUR 8.8 million (margin 2.4%) with significantly lower adjustments on EBITDA level (EUR 1.1 million vs. EUR 4.2 million).

With depreciation expenses of EUR 16.3 million (Q1 2023: EUR 12.1 million), which are reflective of high investments over the past year, EBIT was EUR –5.7 million for Q1 2024 (Q1 2023: EUR –7.6 million).

Net finance costs and income tax in Q1 were EUR –2.5 million after EUR –2.6 million last year.

Segment performance.

DACH segment.

In Q1 2024, DACH – Redcare Pharmacy's largest segment by revenues, covering business activities in Germany, Austria and Switzerland – grew by 56.7% compared to a year earlier. In euros, revenues rose to EUR 453.4 million from EUR 289.4 million in Q1 2023. Prescription (Rx) sales showed the strongest growth of 348.7% year over year, driven by the inclusion of MediService, while non-Rx sales also grew at a double-digit rate in all three countries – with an average growth rate of 16.8%. Gross profit increased by 26.1% year on year to EUR 104.1 million, with a gross margin of 23.0% (Q1 2023: EUR 82.6 million, 28.5%). The adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2024 was EUR 16.2 million compared to EUR 14.9 million for Q1 2023, representing a margin of 3.6% compared to 5.2% last year. The lower margin is primarily attributable to the aforementioned marketing activities in the context of the introduction of electronic prescriptions in Germany.

International segment.

Redcare Pharmacy's International segment (Belgium, France, Italy, and the Netherlands) increased its Q1 revenues by 29.2% to EUR 106.8 million (Q1 2023: EUR 82.7 million). Segment gross profit rose by 30.5% from EUR 20.5 million to EUR 26.8 million during the reporting period. The gross margin stood at 25.1%, slightly higher than last year's 24.8%. Also driven by a significant reduction in the ratio of expenses as a percentage of sales, the adjusted EBITDA margin improved from last year's Q1 –7.5% to –4.2%, or in absolute terms from EUR –6.2 million last year to EUR –4.4 million.

Assets, liabilities and financial position.

Assets and liabilities.

At the reporting date, the balance sheet total was EUR 1.0 billion, unchanged from the end of the year 2023. Non-current assets decreased by EUR 8.4 million to EUR 513.7 million, mainly driven by right of use assets which were down EUR 2.4 million and intangible assets which were down EUR 4.9 million. Current assets remained stable compared to year-end at EUR 499.5 million. Cash and cash equivalents went up from EUR 84.2 million to EUR 98.7 million. Cash and cash equivalents do not include securities and fixed-term deposits; these short-term financial assets amounted to EUR 120 million at the end of Q1 (EUR 127 million at the start of the year). The decrease is due to a cash-out of the prepaid post-combination services in escrow related to an acquisition from prior years.

Non-current liabilities stood at EUR 243.7 million, slightly below EUR 245.8 million at the end of last year. Loans and borrowings within the non-current liabilities decreased by EUR 1.2 million to EUR 234.8 million. Current liabilities were up EUR 2.2 million from EUR 223.7 to EUR 225.9 million, mainly driven by an increase of EUR 3.0 million in trade and other payables.

The equity capital ratio was 53.7% as of the reporting date.

Liquidity situation.

Operational cash flow was a positive EUR 20.9 million compared to EUR 44.0 million during the same period of fiscal year 2023. While the operating result adjusted for depreciation, amortization and taxes was EUR 3.8 million higher at EUR 11 million (Q1 2023: EUR 7.2 million), the previous year´s operational cashflow was significantly driven by favourable working capital movements.

Investing cashflow adjusted for the effect of the cash out of the prepaid post-combination services in escrow of EUR 7.1 million amounted EUR –8.7 million. With that the net cash used for investing activities in Q1 2024 was virtually on the previous year´s level (EUR –8.6 million). EUR –9.6 million were investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. Another positive EUR 1.0 million was related to interest received.

Cash flow from financing activities shows an outflow of EUR –4.1 million vs. an outflow of EUR –3.8 million last year. The main items were interest paid and cash-out lease payments.

Overall, cash and cash equivalents increased by EUR 15.2 million during the reporting period and amounted to EUR 98.7 million as of the balance sheet date. In order to benefit from positive interest rates, EUR 120 million was invested in short-term securities (fixed deposits) during the reporting period and is shown in other financial assets. Cash and cash equivalents as per end of Q1, including EUR 120 million which was on short-term fixed deposits, amounted to EUR 218.7 million (31 December 2023: EUR 204.2 million).

Risks and opportunities.

The risk described in the 2023 Annual Report as "Discrimination of online pharmacies" in connection with the redemption of e-prescriptions has been significantly reduced with the publication of the final specifications of the eHealth-CardLink by gematik in March 2024. This solution provides an additional, non-discriminatory way to redeem e-prescriptions. Beyond this, there were no changes to the company's risk assessment.

Principally, Redcare Pharmacy's business is subject to regulatory changes, which could have a significant favourable or unfavourable impact on its prospects.

Important events during the reporting period.

During the reporting period, Redcare Pharmacy underwent management changes. Chief Commercial Officer Stephan Weber and Chief Information Officer Marc Fischer announced their intention to step down approximately one year before the end of their normal terms of office. On 4 March the Supervisory Board approved their early departure. An internal succession plan was also approved to ensure a smooth transition.

Events after the balance sheet date.

With their appointment by the Annual General Meeting on 17 April, Dirk Brüse took over the role of CCO as successor to Stephan Weber, while Lode Fastré was appointed CIO as successor to Marc Fischer. Both bring valuable expertise to their positions. In addition, Weber and Fischer will provide advisory support until October 2026.

On 23 April, Redcare Pharmacy received approval to implement its eHealth-CardLink solution from the German governmental agency gematik. This approval enables Redcare Pharmacy to offer patients in Germany an easy and user-friendly method to redeem e-prescriptions by using their electronic health card and mobile phone. The eHealth-CardLink solution is expected to be implemented by early May.

No further events have occurred since 31 March 2024, which have a material impact on the company's consolidated financial statements.

Forecast.

The Management Board of Redcare Pharmacy has provided the following guidance for the full year 2024: Total sales are expected to reach EUR 2.3–2.5 billion, representing growth of 30–40%. Non-prescription (Non-Rx) sales are expected to grow by 15–25%, whereas MediService is expected to grow at a mid-single digit rate. The total Group's adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to be between 2% and 4%.

Segment information.

Our operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the key operating decision-makers. The key operating decision-makers, who are responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, have been identified as the statutory directors of the Group and make strategic decisions.

Within the context of IFRS 8, we consider two business segments for external reporting purposes: our "DACH" segment which includes medications and pharmacy related BPC products sold to customers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and our "International" segment which includes medications and pharmacy-related BPC products only, sold to customers in Belgium, The Netherlands, France and Italy.

The Group's assets and liabilities are not disclosed by segment as they are not included in the segment information used by the chief operating decision-makers.

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as the Group's accounting policies described in Note 2 in the Annual report 2023.

The Group allocates all costs (excluding net finance cost and income tax) to the segments. The result by segment is shown in the line EBITDA including all costs directly related to the revenue of the segments (marketing, operations) and administrative expenses. EBITDA means earnings before tax, interest, depreciation and amortisation.

Description of adjustment:

  1. IFRS expenses of the employee stock option plans, these expenses are non-cash for Redcare Pharmacy.

  2. One-off external project expenses related to other projects. This mainly concerns external advisory costs.

  3. Other major non-recurring one-offs. In 2023 this concerned the impact of contingent considerations to former owners of the acquired companies SmartPatient and MedApp. In the light of these acquisitions of 100% of the shares of SmartPatient and MedApp, the total purchase price for the shares which REDCARE PHARMACY agreed upon with the selling shareholders amounts EUR 70.6 million and EUR 8 million respectively. Along with the acquisitions contingent considerations are provided to the former owners which contain a service condition. Payments in the form of cash and shares under this contingent consideration forfeit if employment is terminated. The total contingent consideration amounts to EUR 47.8 million. On the basis of an IFRIC decision on IFRS 3.B55 Business Combinations – the contingent part of this purchase price should be accounted for as consideration for post-combination services – employee expenses during the vesting period. The total impact of the recognition of the cash component and share component of the contingent considerations of both business combinations in the result of the year Q1 2023 amounts to EUR 2.2 million. These costs are included in the employment expenses presented in the profit and loss statement under "administrative expenses". The P&L impact of this accounting method distorts the view on our underlying financial result of our business for management reporting purposes, which is the reason we adjust for it in the presented adjusted EBITDA. Reference is made to note 27 to the consolidated financial statements of the financial year 2023 for detailed explanation.

Glossary.

Current prescription medication sales (Rx) in Switzerland and the Netherlands are not included because we believe current non-comparable customer types would distort visibility on relevant trends in this metric. Business-to-business (B2B) orders are excluded for the same reason. The average shopping basket includes value-added tax (VAT).
