Growth trend continues with new margin setup

Revenues & Gross margin overview

1) Gross margin in the future may be volatile due to the dependency of receipt of potential milestone or out-licensing payments. In addition, the amortisation of the purchase price allocation (PPA) of the recent strategic acquisitions impacts costs of revenue and thus the gross margin. 2) 2017 figures adjusted from the first time application of IFRS 15
