Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements

This presentation (including any information which has been or may be supplied in writing or orally in connection herewith or in connection with any further inquiries) is being delivered on behalf of Evotec SE (the "Company", "we," "our" or "us").

This presentation is made pursuant to Section 5(d) and/or Rule 163B of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is intended solely for investors that are qualified institutional buyers or certain institutional accredited investors solely for the

purposes of familiarizing such investors with the Company. This presentation shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy Evotec securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. No representations or warranties, express or implied, are made as to the accuracy or completeness of the statements, estimates, projections or assumptions contained in the presentation, and neither the Company nor any of its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors or representatives shall have any liability relating thereto.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation contains forward-looking statements concerning our business, operations and financial performance and condition, as well as our plans, objectives and expectations for our business operations and financial performance and condition. Many of the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "potential," "should," "target," "would" and other similar expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and future trends, although not all forwardlooking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements are based on our management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation speak only as of the date of this presentation, and unless otherwise required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update them in light of new information or future developments or to release publicly any revisions to these statements in order to reflect later events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Non-IFRS Measures

This presentation contains references to certain non-IFRS measures including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, each of which are not recognized under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). The Company believes that non-IFRS financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and assists in comparisons with other companies, some of which use similar non-IFRS financial information to supplement their IFRS results. The non-IFRS financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with IFRS, and may be different from similarly titled non-IFRS measures used by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA each have limitations as an analytical tool, respectively, and you should not consider any of these measures either in isolation or as a substitute for other methods of analyzing the results as reported under IFRS. Our management team uses these non-IFRS financial measures to evaluate our profitability and efficiency, to compare operating results to prior periods, and to measure and allocate financial resources internally. However, management does not consider such non-IFRS measures in isolation or as an alternative to measures determined in accordance with IFRS. See appendix to this presentation for

a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the nearest GAAP measure.

Note:

On 1 April 2020 Evotec GT announced the start of its operating business in Gene Therapy in Orth/Austria. In addition, the acquisition of the assets (mainly land and buildings) as well as the takeover of employees of the Biopark by Sanofi SAS in Toulouse became legally effective on 1 July 2020. Both entities were fully consolidated in the financial statements from the dates specified above.

Bayer's eliapixant significantly decreased cough frequency

EVOroyalty example: P2X3 antagonist – eliapixant (BAY1817080)

Positive outcome of Phase IIb trial (PAGANINI)

  • Statistically significant improvement in 24-hour cough counts per hour over placebo of up to 27% after 12 weeks of treatment in a dose dependent manner
  • Positive benefit-risk profile in patients suffering from RCC, with taste-related AEs reported in 24% of patients treated with eliapixant 150 mg bid and in 13% of patients treated with eliapixant 75 mg bid
  • The selective mechanism-of-action of eliapixant appears to be translating into improved tolerability in clinical trials versus non-selective P2X3 receptor antagonists

Cough frequency in Phase IIb1)

Change from baseline of 24-hour cough count by visit (per protocol population)
