Outlook 2022: Sales & risks - Status as of 24 March, 2022

Sales
No decline in demand or medical necessity
BUT increased risk:
- The general economic situation may reduce the "purchasing power" of health systems
- Slowdown or interruption of production
- COVID-19-related staff shortage
- Delayed delivery of plasma
- Limited availability of spare parts and essential tools
- Energy shortages

Impact of COVID-19 on commercial plasma collections in the US and EU
US Plasma Collections [mn L]

-
60% of the world's plasma is collected in the USA
- Strong and persistent impact of COVID-19 on plasma collections in the USA in 2020 and 2021
- US collections speeding up through 2022 and back at prepandemic levels. Additional upside expected from reopening of US-Mexican boarder
- Plasma/production costs expected to remain high due to inflation, increased donor fees, energy and labor costs.
- Due to long lead times, resulting product supply will only be available in H1 2023, earliest.
- Collected plasma volumes by Biotest in Europe (GER, CZ and HU) in 2021 were back on the 2019 levels, despite a difficult market environment
- In Q1-Q3 2022 Biotest plasma volume showed strong growth vs. Q1-Q3 2021 despite two Corona waves

Expansion of plasma collection centres – incl. access to US Plasma
Europe: 34 plasma collection centres
• 7 new centres in 2022 as of Nov. 14, 2022
Access to US Plasma
- Establishment of own centres
