LETTER TO THE SHAREHOLDERS

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

dear shareholders,

Dermapharm got off to a very successful start in financial year 2021. Despite the ongoing lockdown, we succeeded in outperforming the prior-year quarter, which had been exceptionally strong due to stockpiling effects in connection with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, so that all signs are already pointing to what is set to be an extraordinarily successful financial year for the Company.

Compared to Q1 2020, revenue increased by 10.3% to EUR 212 million. Adjusted EBITDA jumped by 29.0% to EUR 64 million. At 29.6%, the adjusted EBITDA margin was also higher year on year.

Our continued growth in the first quarter of financial year 2021 was attributable in particular to the additional revenue and earnings contributions from Allergopharma GmbH & Co. KG, mibe GmbH Arzneimittel's production of the Comirnaty® vaccine as part of the cooperation with BioNTech SE, and the continued high demand for products that boost the immune system, primarily our vitamin D compound Dekristol®.

In the first months of 2021 we also laid the foundation for expanding our cooperation with BioNTech to produce the Comirnaty® vaccine at our subsidiary Allergopharma GmbH & Co. KG's manufacturing facility in Reinbek. We successfully applied the expertise we gained at mibe to implement the manufacturing processes at Allergopharma. We fast-tracked the necessary preparations, and, on 30 April 2021, we were joined by Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn, Minister-President Daniel Günther and Minister Dr Heiner Garg as we officially kicked off production. Between 40 and 50 million vaccine doses will be manufactured per month in Reinbek and then transferred to other locations in the BioNTech SE/Pfizer network to be filled in to vials. We are now manufacturing the urgently needed vaccine at two facilities and are proud to have doubled our role in the fight against COVID-19.

The Group demonstrated the great feats it is capable of achieving by rapidly implementing the complex processes for manufacturing the vaccine, thereby laying the foundation for its extraordinarily high growth targets for financial year 2021. This is also thanks in particular to our state-of-the-art production facilities in Germany and our highly-qualified staff. Going forward, we will continue to build on this quality to further advance the Group's development.

We expect the restrictions that have been put in place to combat the COVID-19 pandemic to be eased during the course of the year, which should further stimulate demand for our products, particularly as doctor's appointments and pharmacy visits pick up again and our sales force returns to work in full. We will also continue to systematically pursue our proven corporate strategy by investing in specific product developments, driving forward our internationalisation efforts and reviewing promising M&A transactions.

REPORT ON ECONOMIC POSITION

1. Course of business

Dermapharm Holding SE excelled from a strategic and operating standpoint in the first quarter of 2021. This excellent start to the 2021 financial year is due in particular to the successful integration of Allergopharma GmbH & Co. KG (acquired in the previous year), organic growth (primarily in the "vitamins/minerals/food supplements" therapeutic area, which was driven by persistently high demand particularly during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic), and the production of a COVID-19 vaccine at mibe GmbH Arzneimittel's manufacturing facility in Brehna in cooperation with BioNTech SE.

Consolidated revenue increased by 10.2% to EUR 212.2 million as compared to the prior-year period (Q1 2020: EUR 192.5 million). At the same time, adjusted EBITDA increased by 28.9% to EUR 63.7 million (Q1 2020: EUR 49.4 million). Unadjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR 62.8 million, representing a 27.6% increase (Q1 2020: EUR 49.2 million).

The adjusted EBITDA margin amounted to 30.0% (Q1 2020: 25.7%). The unadjusted EBITDA margin amounted to 29.6% (Q1 2020: 25.6%).

The overall performance in the first three months of 2021 has underscored the fact that Dermapharm's business model has proven it can remain successful in the long-term, even in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Segment Branded pharmaceuticals and other healthcare products

In the "Branded pharmaceuticals and other healthcare products" segment, Dermapharm significantly increased revenue by 22.7% to EUR 130.3 million (Q1 2020: EUR 106.2 million). This increase was due mainly to Allergopharma GmbH & Co. KG's revenue contribution, which had not yet been included in the same period of the previous year. Growth was further driven by higher demand for our products, which, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, related primarily to products in the "vitamins/minerals/ food supplements" therapeutic area, and the production of the vaccine at mibe GmbH Arzneimittel's manufacturing facility. Thus far, Dermapharm has not been affected by API supply bottlenecks since the outbreak of the pandemic.

This resulted in an adjusted EBITDA of EUR 58.8 million, representing a 34.6% year-on-year increase (Q1 2020: EUR 43.7 million). The segment's adjusted EBITDA margin amounted to 45.1% (Q1 2020: 41.1%).

Unadjusted EBITDA rose to EUR 58.7 million (Q1 2020: EUR 43.5 million). The segment's unadjusted EBITDA margin amounted to 45.0% (Q1 2020: 41.0%).

Segment Herbal extracts

In the "Herbal extracts" segment, Euromed contributed EUR 20.0 million to revenue in Q1 2021 (Q1 2020: EUR 18.9 million). Overall, global demand for herbal extracts picked up after initially declining following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Euromed benefited both from larger orders from major customers as well as from higher prices for key herbal extracts.

The segment's contribution to adjusted EBITDA, taking into account the negative result EUR -1.0 million (Q1 2020: EUR -0.9 million) from investment in the FYTA Group, which was accounted for using the equity method, amounted to EUR 5.5 million (Q1 2020: EUR 3.9 million). The EBITDA margin thus amounted to 27.5% (Q1 2020: 20.6%). The unadjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR 4.8 million (Q1 2020: 3.9 million), and the EBITDA margin amounted to 24.0% (Q1 2020: 20.6%) higher than the previous year.

Segment Parallel import business

Revenue for the parallel import business decreased by 8.3% to EUR 61.9 million (Q1 2020: EUR 67.5 million). The decline is due primarily to the lower demand seen across the entire parallel import market since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in revenue from reimported anaesthetics and medical cannabis failed to offset this decrease.

EBITDA for this segment decreased disproportionately by 66.7% to EUR 1.0 million (Q1 2020: EUR 3.0 million). The segment's EBITDA margin fell accordingly in the first three months of 2021 to 1.6% (Q1 2020: 4.4%). In particular, the increased participation in health insurance discount agreements following the entry into force of the German Act for More Safety in the Supply of Pharmaceuticals (Gesetz für mehr Sicherheit in der Arzneimittelversorgung, "GSAV") led to an immediate deterioration of the margin.

3. Events after the reporting period

No noteworthy events which might influence Dermapharm's business development have occurred between the end of the reporting period, 31 March 2021, and the date of this interim statement.

REPORTS ON EXPECTED DEVELOPMENTS

In light of the positive operating result in the first quarter and the Company's expected positive performance during the further course of the 2021 financial year and despite the uncertainties surrounding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Management confirms the outlook presented in the Annual Report as at 31 December 2020 with respect to the Company's development in 2021. This is based primarily on the expectation that the expansion of the cooperation with BioNTech SE to manufacture the vaccine will contribute to revenue and earnings, that the integration of Allergopharma GmbH & Co. KG will further boost growth and profitability, and that the easing of restrictions will stimulate demand for our products.

Accordingly, the Board of Management continues to expect a year-on-year increase in consolidated revenue of 24–26% and in consolidated EBITDA of 45–50% for financial year 2021.

INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS AT 31 MARCH 2021
