Group interim management report as of June 30, 2023

Important events in the first half of 2023

Successful completion of the acquisition of bbw

On January 10, 2023, Medios successfully completed the acquisition of the pharmaceutical compounding company Blisterzentrum Baden-Württemberg GmbH. As a result, bbw was incorporated into the scope of consolidation of Medios AG as a wholly owned subsidiary. The collaboration with Apotheken für Spezialversorgungen OHG in the area of sterile compounding, which was agreed at the same time as the acquisition, also began in January 2023. As part of this, approx. 70,000 preparations for various indications are to be transferred to Medios' production facilities each year in 2023 and 2024.

Supervisory Board extends contract with CFO Falk Neukirch

On May 31, 2023, the Supervisory Board resolved to extend the existing contract of Falk Neukirch as Chief Financial Officer of Medios AG until April 30, 2026. Falk Neukirch has already been appointed as Chief Financial Officer of Medios AG since October 01, 2021.

Medios AG centralizes blister business at one site and sells Kölsche Blister GmbH

Medios AG had signed an agreement to sell all its shares in Kölsche Blister GmbH on June 15, 2023. Following the acquisition of Blisterzentrum Baden-Württemberg GmbH in January, Medios AG will centralize its blister business entirely at the bbw site in Magstadt, Baden-Württemberg in the future. The sale has no material effect on Medios' earnings, financial position, or net assets. Sales of Kölsche Blister GmbH amounted to around €12.6m in the 2022 financial year.

Annual General Meeting re-elects Dr. Yann Samson, Joachim Messner and Klaus J. Buß to the Supervisory Board

Medios successfully held its Annual General Meeting as an attendance event on June 21, 2023. With one exception, the shareholders approved the resolutions proposed by the Executive Board and Supervisory Board at the Annual General Meeting by a large majority. The new Authorized Capital 2023 proposed jointly by the Executive Board and Supervisory Board was not approved. In total, around 74% of the capital stock voted.

ESG: Medios AG receives M&A Award 2023 and "Employer of the Future" Award

Medios intends to adapt the voluntary reporting within the scope of the non-financial consolidated statement to the new legal regulations (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive; "CSRD") already now.

As part of its "M&A Summit" on July 14, 2023, the German Association of Mergers & Acquisitions awarded Medios the "M&A Awards 2023 for BEST M&A DIRECTION" for a successful coordination of acquisition and integration.

Also in July, Medios was rewarded the award "Best Jobs with a future" in the pharmaceutical industry by focus in cooperation with DEUTSCHLAND TEST for sustainable and economical actions and a pleasant working atmosphere.

Economic Report

Macroeconomic environment

After growing by 3.3% in 2022, global production is expected to grow by just 2.8% in 2023 according to the Institute for the World Economy ("Institut für Weltwirtschaft"; IfW). However, this represents a slight improvement on the forecast from spring 2023, which only predicted growth of 2.5%. The 0.3 percentage point increase in the forecast is attributable to a significant improvement in the key underlying conditions that were the primary reason for the slowdown in the global economy in the previous year. For example, energy prices have fallen sharply again, resulting in a reduction in inflationary pressure; supply bottlenecks are now only a minor hindrance to macroeconomic activities.

On top of that, China has abandoned its zero-COVID policy, which improves its prospects for steady expansion. As a result, global production, seasonally adjusted, increased by 0.8% in the first quarter of 2023. This represents the strongest growth since the end of 2021. According to the experts at the IfW, however, there are no signs of a lasting upswing despite the acceleration at the start of 2023. Global trade in goods is expected to decline by 0.6% in 2023 after growing by 3.0% in 2022. In this context, the extreme tightening of monetary policy is having a dampening effect, resulting in a significant increase in financing costs and thus curbing willingness to spend.

In addition, the global economy's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine is slowing, while divergences between economic sectors and regions are increasing. The experts at the IfW consequently expect only moderate expansion of the global economy in 2023.

Macroeconomic development in Germany

After falling by 0.8% in the winter half-year, economic output was most recently 0.5% below its pre-crisis level. Although the production potential of the economy as a whole has grown in the meantime, companies are indicating in surveys that the overall economy is operating beyond capacity. According to the IfW, this discrepancy indicates that the German economy is still heavily burdened by production-related disruptions. These disruptions are the result of supply bottlenecks and high absenteeism rates in particular and are also reflected in ongoing labor shortages and above-average forward order books. For 2023, the experts at the IfW expect a 0.3% decline in GDP as a result of the weak winter half-year. They are thus revising their spring forecast which continued to expect growth of 0.5%. The aftermath of the energy crisis and the tightening of monetary policy are expected to weigh more heavily on the economy than previously assumed. Nevertheless, the German economy is likely to return to a moderate expansion course as the year progresses.

The experts from the IfW also expect inflation to fall significantly over the course of the year, although consumer prices are expected to rise sharply again in 2023 with an increase of 5.8% (2022: 6.9%). The labor market is particularly burdened by a shrinking supply of labor, which is a result of the current demographic structure of the population.

According to the IfW, the government budget deficit is likely to grow smaller despite the weak overall economy, which is in particular due to the discontinuation of crisisrelated expenditure.

Development of the healthcare market

Measured in terms of revenue, the pharmacy market in Germany grew again in the first quarter of 2023. According to IQVIA, sales increased by 2.8% year over year to €11.6bn in the period from the beginning of January to the end of March.

Prescription medicines accounted for the largest share (around 86%), while OTC products accounted for around 14%. Revenue from prescription drugs increased by 2.5%, while revenues from sales of over-the-counter drugs increased by 4.7%.

In terms of sales, the pharmacy market also recorded an increase in the first quarter of 2023. The number of packs increased by 3.0% year over year to 439.7 million units. Sales of prescription drugs increased by 4.7%, while sales of over-the-counter drugs rose by 1.7%.

Launch of e-prescriptions in July 2023

As part of the Greater Safety in Pharmaceutical Supply Act ("Gesetz für mehr Sicherheit in der Arzneimittelversorgung", GSAV) in Germany, the phased introduction of e-prescriptions began on September 1, 2022. The aim was to establish a transition to a routine procedure to achieve nationwide coverage for e-prescriptions as quickly as possible. With effect from July 1, 2023, "gematik" ("Gesellschaft für Telematikanwendungen der Gesundheitskarte mbH"), the national agency for digital medicine, has begun the nationwide rollout of electronic prescriptions. Since then, the plan has been to progressively enable public insurance members to have eprescriptions filled at pharmacies using their electronic health insurance card.

However, the process for prescribing cytostatics and the accompanying medication for them will be excluded from the planned mandatory application of e-prescriptions and will be tested as part of a standalone process. The necessary adjustments to the specialist service and to the software systems of doctors, pharmacies, and hospitals are currently being made and subjected to initial checks in a test environment.

Business performance

Medios Group situation

Earnings

The Medios Group's revenue increased again in the first half of 2023 compared to the same period of the previous year. Consolidated revenue in the first six months of the financial year amounted to €853.5m, an increase of €61.3m or 7.7% compared to the same period last year (previous year: €792.2m). This positive development is due to continued revenue growth in both operating segments as well as the inclusion of Blisterzentrum Baden-Württemberg GmbH in the Pharmaceutical Supply segment's consolidated financial statements since January 2023.

In the Pharmaceutical Supply segment, external revenue increased by €51.7m, or 7.6%, to €734.1m compared with the same period last year (previous year: €682.5m), with bbw accounting for €23.1m of this increase. The Patient-Specific Therapies segment generated external sales of €118.9m, an increase of 8.6% compared to the previous year (€109.5m). In the Services segment, external revenue increased by €0.2m to €0.4m compared to the same period last year. As in the same period of the previous year, the Group's revenues were generated almost exclusively in Germany.

Gross profit for the reporting period increased once again and amounted to €54.4m (previous year: €53.4m), with a slightly lower gross profit margin of 6.4% (previous year: 6.7%).

Gross profit in the Pharmaceutical Supply segment increased to €27.2m (previous year: €24.2m), which represents an increase of 12.5%. As in the prior-year period, the gross profit margin stood at 3.4%. Gross profit in the Patient-Specific Therapies segment fell to €27.0m (previous year: €29.0m), which corresponds to a change of approximately –7.0%. The gross profit margin amounted to 19.2% compared with 21.7% in the previous year. The decline in the gross profit and gross profit margin in the Patient-Specific Therapies segment is mainly due to regulatory price deductions (auxiliary tax reductions; "Hilfstaxenabschläge") for certain active ingredients since September 2022.

Personnel expenses increased by €1.5m year over year to €17.8m (previous year: €16.3m), with €0.5m of this increase attributable to the acquisition of bbw. The remaining increase in labor expenses resulted primarily from planned increases in wage costs and special, performance-related payments. The average number of employees in the first half of 2023 was 513 (previous year: 499).

9

The other operating expenses amounted to €10.7m in the reporting period (previous year: €10.3m) and increased by €0.5m year over year primarily as a result of higher IT costs, particularly for software licenses.

Consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA pre1 ) without extraordinary expenses amounted to €29.0m in the first half of 2023 (previous year: €28.5m).

EBITDA pre1 in the Pharmaceutical Supply segment increased year over year by €2.4m to €19.9m (previous year: €17.5m). The first-time consolidation of bbw's business contributed €1.0m to this growth. EBITDA pre1 in the Patient-Specific Therapies segment decreased to €12.5m in the first half of 2023 (previous year: €13.2m). The Services segment generated an EBITDA pre1 of €-3.4m mainly as a result of increased IT and labor expenses (previous year: €–2.2m).

EBITDA pre1 is adjusted for special items of an amount of €0.7m in personnel expenses for share options (previous year: €1.4m), other expenses due to M&A activities amounting to €0.1m (previous year: €0.3m), and one-off performancerelated payments for the takeover of compounding volumes amounting to €2.2m (previous year: €0.0m).

Financial position

Cash flow from operating activities in the first half of 2023 amounted to €–75.2m (previous year: €9.9m) and was negatively impacted by special items. In particular, the strategic build-up of inventories to prepare for expected inflation-related price adjustments in the Pharmaceutical Supply segment, the sales-driven build-up of trade receivables, and the performance-related payments for the acquisition of compounding volumes of an amount of €5.6m as part of the acquisition of bbw had a negative impact on cash flow from operating activities during the reporting period. In addition, trade payables decreased compared with the previous year as a result of the reporting date. Clear countereffects are expected for the second half of 2023, in particular from the planned sale of commodities in the Pharmaceutical Supply segment.

Cash flow from investing activities during the reporting period amounted to €-16.3m (previous year: €–84.5m) and results primarily from the cash component for the acquisition of bbw in the amount of €19.2m, less the acquired liquid assets of €2.4m. The sale of Kölsche Blister GmbH resulted in a total cash inflow of €1.4m, of which €0.9m relates to the sale of company shares and €0.5m to the repayment of a shareholder loan. The sale was offset by the transfer of cash and cash equivalents in the amount of €0.4m, resulting in a net inflow of €0.9m.

10

The cash flow from financing activities of €42.6m results primarily from loan drawings under the syndicated loan agreement for €75m signed in November 2022, which is available as a revolving credit facility until November 2027. During the reporting period, there were loan drawings of €25m and €30m, as well as loan repayments of €10m. The loan drawings were used to finance the cash component for the acquisition of bbw, the strategic build-up of inventories in the Pharmaceutical Supply segment, and the performance-related payments for the acquisition of compounding volumes.

Net asset position

Compared with the 2022 annual financial statements, total assets as of June 30, 2023, had increased by €52.2m to €628.2m (December 31: €576.0m), which is primarily the result of an increase in intangible assets and an increase in current assets.

The first-time consolidation of bbw resulted in a capitalized customer base of €6.1m and capitalized goodwill of €11.6m as of the reporting date. As a result, intangible assets, after accounting for scheduled amortization, increased by €10.7m since the end of the year (December 31, 2022: €284.6m).

Compared with the end of 2022, current assets increased by €44.5m to €294.5m (December 31, 2022: €250.0m). In the first half of 2023, this was primarily due to the strategic build-up of inventories by €49.4m to €99.5m and the sales-driven increase in trade receivables by €36.3m to €143.1m. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by €-48.9m to €30.3m at the end of the reporting period.

Equity amounted to €458.0m as of June 30, 2023, which represents an increase of €10.0m compared with the end of the year (December 31, 2022: €448.0m). The equity ratio stood at 72.9% as of June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022: 77.8%) and decreased due to the increase in non-current liabilities by €43.3m to €89.2m (December 31, 2022: €45.9m). This development resulted primarily from the use of the syndicated loan to finance the bbw transaction and to finance the strategic inventory build-up.

Risk and opportunities report

War in Ukraine, risks, opportunities

The company has no information that would lead to a change in the statements about the Group's performance for the 2023 financial year made in the Group management report as of December 31, 2022. The statements made in the 2022 annual report regarding the business model's opportunities and risks therefore remain unchanged. This also applies to the statements made in connection with the war in Ukraine.

Medios AG's business activities and thus its net assets, financial position, and results of operations have not been significantly affected by the war in Ukraine. There were still no significant direct effects on Medios AG's procurement and sales markets in the first half of the 2023 financial year. The Executive Board also maintains its expectation that the war in Ukraine will not have a significant impact on the Medios Group's business. Its assessment remains based on the premise that the war will not have any sustained economic impacts on a global scale and will have a more moderate impact on the Medios Group's procurement and sales markets instead. In the event of an extended war with global implications, it cannot continue to be ruled out that there might be risks affecting the Medios Group's business.

Furthermore, the latest simulations and sensitivity analyses show that the current inflation tendencies will not lead to a strong or existential impact on Medios AG's profit. Up to the current point in time, the company has not identified any risks that, either individually or in combination with other risks, could jeopardize the continued existence of Medios AG as a going concern. Additional risks and opportunities of which we are not aware or that we currently consider immaterial could have an adverse effect on the business activities of the Medios Group.

Guidance

Medios AG confirms its earnings guidance for the 2023 financial year.

For the 2023 financial year, Medios AG continues to expect consolidated revenue of between €1.6bn – €1.8bn, which corresponds to an increase of up to 11.8% compared to the previous year. EBITDA pre1 is expected to lie in the range of €56m – €63m – representing growth of up to 14.8% compared with the previous year. As in the previous year, the special items adjusted for in the EBITDA pre1 forecast for 2023 include expenses for stock options and M&A activities, as well as one-time performance-related payments for the acquisition of compounding volumes. In the medium term, Medios aims to achieve consolidated revenue of more than €2bn and an EBITDA pre margin in the mid-single-digit range.

The consolidated interim financial statements are presented in euros (€), the reporting Company's functional currency. Figures are reported in thousands of euros (€ thousand) unless otherwise stated. Readers should be aware that the use of rounded amounts and percentages may result in discrepancies within individual tables due to the nature of the commercial rounding method.

Business activity

Medios AG is the leading provider of specialty pharma solutions in Germany. As a competence partner and expert, Medios covers all relevant aspects of the supply chain in this field – from pharmaceutical supply and the compounding of patientspecific therapies to blistering (dispensing of individually dosed tablets). The focus lies on providing patients with the best possible care through specialized pharmacies. As a GMP-certified manufacturer, Medios also adheres to high international quality standards. GMP ("Good Manufacturing Practice") refers to the guidelines for the quality assurance of production processes and the production environment in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. Medios currently focuses on six areas of indication: Oncology, neurology, auto-immunology, ophthalmology, infectious diseases, and hemophilia.

Generally speaking, specialty pharmaceuticals are high-priced medications for rare and/or chronic diseases. Many of the newly developed therapies for these kinds of diseases are personalized. They include, for example, infusions that are formulated and produced based on individual disease patterns and parameters such as body weight and body surface area.

Segments

The Medios Group consists of two operating divisions (operating segments): Pharmaceutical Supply and Patient-Specific Therapies. The third segment is the internal Services segment.

With its Pharmaceutical Supply segment focused on specialty pharma, Medios is the largest provider of specialty pharmaceuticals in Germany in six indication areas. The focus of business activities is primarily on the indications oncology, neurology, autoimmunology, ophthalmology, infectious diseases, and hemophilia.

The Patient-Specific Therapies segment encompasses the production of medications on behalf of pharmacies. Patient-specific therapies can be, for example, infusions that are formulated and produced on the basis of individual disease patterns and individual parameters such as body weight and body surface area. In compliance with the highest international quality standards, the focus of business activities is primarily on the production of cytostatic infusions, antibody therapies, antiviral and antibiotic preparations, parenteral nutrition solutions, clinical trial drugs, and pain management for various indications.

20

Medios also operates an internal Services business unit. Its role includes acting as the holding company for the Medios Group and developing software and infrastructure solutions for the Medios Group. This includes the digital platform mediosconnect, which connects physicians, health insurance companies, and specialized pharmacies and serves as an ordering and billing portal. Medios AG, the Group's parent company, is Germany's first listed Specialty Pharma company.

Scope of consolidation

In addition to Medios AG, the consolidated financial statements include all significant subsidiaries which Medios AG directly or indirectly controls. This is the case if Medios AG has direct or indirect power of disposal over the potential subsidiary on the basis of voting rights or other rights, participates in variable positive or negative returns from the potential subsidiary, and is able to influence these returns.

A total of 16 companies were consolidated in the Medios Group as of June 30, 2023 (December 31, 2022: 16 companies).

Key events in the first half of 2023

Acquisition of Blisterzentrum Baden-Württemberg GmbH

On November 22, 2022, the Medios Group contractually acquired 100% of Blisterzentrum Baden-Württemberg GmbH and agreed on a collaboration in the field of sterile production with Apotheken für Spezialversorgungen OHG. bbw is a pharmaceutical compounding company that manufactures patient-specific blister packages on behalf of pharmacies. In addition to its compounding license, the company holds a wholesale license and distributes finished medicinal products from the specialty pharmaceuticals sector that have been approved in Germany. The acquisition will enable Medios to significantly strengthen its position as a partner to specialized pharmacies in southern Germany and to further increase revenue and profitability.

The German Federal Cartel Office ("Bundeskartellamt") approved the acquisition of bbw on December 1, 2022. The execution of all terms of the purchase agreement and all closing acts took place on January 10, 2023 (acquisition date). Medios therefore gained control of the company on this date. As a result, bbw was included in the consolidated companies of Medios AG as a wholly owned subsidiary and fully consolidated in the current 2023 financial year.

As consideration for the purchase of the shares in bbw, the sellers initially received a provisional purchase price of €19,400 thousand in cash, which was then ultimately reduced by €238 thousand based on the final balance sheet approved for the acquisition date, bringing the price to €19,162 thousand. The consideration does not constitute contingent consideration.

The collaboration with Apotheken für Spezialversorgungen OHG in the field of sterile compounding, which was agreed upon at the same time as the acquisition, has commenced on January 10, 2023, and will run until December 31, 2024.

The acquisition of the shares in bbw meets the requirements to qualify as a business combination pursuant to IFRS 3. The financial statements of bbw as of December 31, 2022, prepared in accordance with German commercial law, formed the basis for determining the assets and liabilities acquired (recognized). The determination of goodwill in accordance with IFRS 3 was done based on the IFRS net assets as of the time of acquisition.

No valuation allowances have been recognized for the acquired receivables, as defaults have not occurred in line with the experience of previous years. Inventories mainly comprise finished goods at purchase prices, which is why no hidden reserves were identified.

The value of the customer relationships recognized as of their acquisition date was calculated using the residual value method. Customer relationships constitute the only share of the hidden reserves identified and measured.

The goodwill resulting from the difference between the consideration given and the remeasured net assets mainly represents the value of the expected revenue and cost synergies from the acquisition of the business as well as the future business performance over the assumed term of the customer relationships recognized as intangible assets. This goodwill is not tax-deductible.

The following allocation of the purchase price is based on information available to management up until the time of the half-year financial statements. Accordingly, the following assets including goodwill (not deductible for tax purposes) were acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

The syndicated loan agreement signed in November 2022, with a credit volume of €75,000 thousand, is available to the Group as a revolving credit facility until November 2027 and is subject to a variable interest rate.

Financial instruments

During the reporting period, there were no changes to the classification, measurement methods, and measurement hierarchy of financial instruments within the Group compared with December 31, 2022. Except for the current trade receivables, which are subject to a factoring agreement, the carrying amounts of the Group's financial instruments correspond approximately to their fair values and are allocated to the category "amortized costs".

The receivables intended for sale to the factoring bank and still held as of the reporting date remain classified as financial instruments in the FVtPL (Fair Value through Profit and Loss) category. As of June 30, 2023, the fair value was €9,919 thousand and is based on the expected sale price of the receivables from the factoring company.

Notes to the consolidated cash flow statement

The consolidated statement of cash flows shows how the Medios Group's cash and cash equivalents changed over the course of the reporting year as a result of cash inflows and outflows. In this context, a distinction is made between cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. The cash and cash equivalents disclosed in the consolidated statement of cash flows consist exclusively of liquid funds.

Other information

Contingent liabilities

Public health insurers are currently charged for parenteral preparations containing cytostatics on the basis of remuneration set out in the arbitration settlement. The public health insurers' association ("Verband der gesetzlichen Krankenkassen"; "GKV") has filed an appeal against the arbitration settlement. If the lawsuit brought by the association is successful, there is a risk of a retroactive adjustment of the remuneration and thus a reclaim of the remuneration already received. As of June 30, 2023, the financial risk for Medios in the event of a 100% retroactive adjustment of the remuneration would amount to the original remuneration of approximately €1.8m. The Executive Board currently considers the risk of a retroactive and 100% adjustment of remuneration to the original level to be very low.

The statements in the 2022 annual report also apply to the contingent liabilities item.

Transactions with related parties

A related entity or person, as defined by IAS 24, is an entity or person that has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control or exercise significant influence over the other party. Detailed information on related entities and related parties in key positions is provided in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the 2022 annual report. Transactions with related parties primarily involve the provision of goods and services as well as management and holding activities.

Advice and forward-looking statements

This half-year financial report should be read in conjunction with the annual report for the 2022 financial year. The latter provides a comprehensive presentation of our business activities and explanations of the financial KPIs that are used.

This financial report contains forward-looking statements that are based on current assumptions and assessments made by the management of Medios AG. Forwardlooking statements are marked by the usage of words such as expect, intend, plan, predict, assume, believe, assess, and similar formulations. These statements must not be seen as guarantees that the associated expectations will prove to be correct. Future developments and the results achieved by Medios AG are dependent on a range of risks and uncertainties and may therefore vary significantly from the forward-looking statements. A number of these factors cannot be influenced by Medios AG and not be precisely estimated in advance. Such factors include, though are not limited to, the future economic environment and the behaviors of competitors and other market stakeholders. There are no plans to update the forward-looking statements and Medios does not assume any special obligation to do so.

Rounding may mean that some figures in this financial report do not add up exactly to the sum indicated and that the percentages disclosed may not precisely reflect the absolute values that they pertain to.

This is an English translation of the original German financial report. If and to the extent that the different versions vary from each other, the German version of the document will have precedence over the English translation.

For technical reasons, there may be deviations between the data provided in this financial report and the accounting records or documents published based on statutory provisions.

This financial report contains supplementary financial indicators that are not precisely defined in relevant accounting frameworks and that are or could be alternative key performance indicators. For an assessment of the assets, finances, and earnings of Medios AG, these supplementary financial indicators should not be viewed in isolation or as an alternative to the financial indicators that have been calculated in accordance with relevant accounting frameworks and are presented in the consolidated financial statements. Other businesses that present or report on alternative financial indicators of a similar name may calculate these indicators differently.

In the event of any inconsistencies between the German and the English wording, the German wording shall prevail.
