Rafael Padilla, CEO of Fagron: "With pride I look back on how all of us operated as one Fagron in a very dynamic year. Despite the challenges once again presented by the Covid pandemic in 2021 we were able to increase our turnover to €574 million. We achieved this by launching a good number of new products and innovations, attracting new customers, and further strengthening our position, in particular in the Brands and Essentials segment globally and Fagron Sterile Services (FSS) in the United States.

During 2021 we saw demand for COVID-19 related products fade globally. At the same time, elective care showed recovery in North America, particularly in the second half of the year, while only a limited recovery was visible in EMEA. Specifically in Northern Europe, elective care remained scaled down. In addition, pressure on the global supply chain continued to be high in the second half of the year with continuing high prices for transport, packaging material and some raw materials. We are now able to pass on most of these cost increases or expect to be able to do so with some delay. However, this had a temporary negative impact on our margin and REBITDA, as a result of which REBITDA – in line with our expectations – came in at the lower end of our estimated range.

These developments translated into a 4.6% decline in turnover in EMEA, although we did see improvement in the fourth quarter. We expect this trend to continue in 2022, so that EMEA is expected to return to sales growth in 2022. In Latin America, where Fagron is mainly active in Brands and Essentials, we realized good turnover growth of 9.3%, despite demand for COVID-19 related products fading in 2021. In North America, our strong position in Brands and Essentials and our investments in Compounding Services translated into robust turnover growth of 11.3%. In December 2021, FSS had a run rate (turnover; annualized) of over US\$80 million, putting us on track to achieve our turnover target for year-end 2022.

With the recent acquisition of Letco and the divestment of our contract manufacturing division in the United States we are taking important steps towards realizing our ambition to be the market leader in Brand and Essentials. Furthermore, we strengthen our position in the attractive Belgian market with the acquisition of Pharma-Pack and a minority stake in HeW Pharma. We continue to actively look at acquisition opportunities, in EMEA and North America in particular.

Corporate social responsibility is of key importance to Fagron: by personalizing medicine, it becomes accessible to even more people. In 2021 we took a number of important steps in realizing the ESG objectives we have set for ourselves. In the beginning of the year, we published our 2022 revised objectives to contribute to a better world.

All this shows that Fagron is strongly positioned to contribute to the future of personalized medicine, realize continued growth and create shareholder value. For 2022 we expect to realize growth of both turnover and profitability. During our Capital Markets Day on 15 March 2022, we will provide a strategy update and present medium-term targets both for our three regions and for Fagron as a whole. We look forward to welcoming our investors then, be it in person or virtually."

Supply chain

Pressure on the global supply chain remained high in the second half of 2021. Various pandemicrelated developments resulted in limited availability of certain raw materials at times while prices for transport, packaging material and some raw materials remained high. Additionally, we saw wage costs increasing in the second half of the year. Under current contracts we were not always able to pass the cost increases on to our customers immediately and/or in full in the first half of the year. Since then, we have mostly been able to reach agreements on this or expect to be able to do so, meaning that we are able to pass on most of the cost increases or will be able do so with some delay.

Product availability is another critical success factor for Fagron and so our extensive global network of approved suppliers is very valuable to us. Also, Fagron has set up a central team dedicated to procurement and related negotiations. This will enable us to control both the availability and the cost price of raw materials, packaging and other products and services that we purchase from third parties as effectively as possible. Working closely with the operation this team continuously monitors our inventories and, where necessary, higher inventories are kept for specific products.

Update on buy-and-build

On 2 February 2022 Fagron announced the acquisition of Letco Medical. Letco is a supplier of pharmaceutical raw materials, supplies and equipment for compounding in the United States with expected sales of approximately US\$40 million and an expected EBITDA margin of around 11% in 2021.

On the same day Fagron also announced the sale of 80% of its contract manufacturing division to a syndicate led by Signet Healthcare Partners. This business unit provides contract manufacturing and private label services for consumer healthcare companies and retailers in the United States and generates around US\$20 million in annual sales. As part of the divestment, Fagron will retain a 20% minority interest in the new company. Additionally, the new company will continue to manufacture certain supplies for Fagron.

Today, Fagron acquired Pharma-Pack, a supplier of packaging and laboratory equipment for pharmacies and hospitals in Belgium, which has estimated annual sales of around €6 million and an estimated EBITDA margin of over 13%. In December 2021, Fagron reached an agreement on the acquisition of a 20% stake in HeW Pharma, a company that manufactures high-quality raw materials for pharmacists in Belgium. For these two transactions combined, Fagron paid around €7.7 million.

Operational update

The auditing of the new GMP repackaging facility in Poland was successfully completed at the end of December 2021. As announced previously, to ensure a smooth transition both the Dutch and the Polish GMP facilities temporarily operated alongside each other, resulting in higher costs. Full transition will be achieved in the first half of 2022 after which the structural annual margin improvement of €2 million will be realized.

During the year, good progress was made in Latin America with centralizing activities in the various countries. In Brazil, all the GMP repackaging activities had already been centralized and this year major steps have been taken to integrate the various distribution centers into one central modern distribution center. Three units were transferred to the central distribution center in the second half of 2021 with the remaining units to follow in 2022. Ultimately, this will result in the distribution and repackaging for the entire Brazilian market being centralized in one place. In addition, disciplines were added to the shared service center in São Paulo, including the R&D activities. This will further promote synergy and cooperation within the region. Progress was also made with centralizing the activities in Mexico from three sites to one. This process is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2022. All activities in Colombia have also been moved to one site with full implementation of this transition to finalize in the first quarter of 2022.

ESG update

In 2021, progress was made on all the ESG topics that are important to Fagron. With regard to the environment, energy-saving measures were implemented, further steps were taken in electrifying our vehicle fleet and 2,788 solar panels were installed. As a result, greenhouse gas intensity fell by 20% compared to 2019, considerably better than the targeted reduction of 10%.

In the social sphere the percentage of women in management roles increased to 40.7% in 2021. During 2021, Fagron conducted its first-ever Diversity & Inclusion survey among staff. Over a third of employees took part in the survey, which included questions about respectful behavior in the workplace, discrimination based on background and involvement in decisions. The results of the survey show that the vast majority of employees feel that they can be themselves at Fagron and do not feel disadvantaged in any way because of their background.

Fagron expanded its product portfolio significantly in 2021, contributing to the improvement of the health of vulnerable patient groups. Furthermore, the robustness of Fagron's quality processes was once again confirmed: despite the growth achieved, the number of quality incidents, and thus the number of recalls, showed a further decline in 2021.

Early 2022, Fagron published its refined ESG targets. Additional targets include the purchase of 100% green electricity for use in its own facilities in 2030 and a 50/50 gender balance at management level in 2025. Further information about Fagron and ESG can be found on the Fagron website.

Outlook for 2022

Furthermore, Fagron continues its active and disciplined acquisition strategy focused at EMEA and North America.

Key figures by segment

Fagron EMEA11

The turnover of the EMEA segment declined 4.6% in 2021 (-4.9% at constant exchange rates) to €255.1 million. Adjusted for the acquisitions of Gako (Germany) and Pharma Tamar (Israel), the organic turnover decline was 6.8% (-7.1 % at constant exchange rates). REBITDA decreased 14.1% to €55.6 million. REBITDA as a percentage of turnover declined 240 basis points to 21.8%. This was partly due to the Dutch and Polish GMP repackaging facilities temporarily operating alongside each other to ensure a smooth transition. Furthermore, we experienced delays in the passing on of cost increases resulting from supply chain pressures; this has put - temporary - pressure on our margins.

Developments per country within the EMEA region differ which are linked to the differences in activities and the related impact of COVID-19. As a result, some countries realized turnover growth while others experienced turnover decline. The various infection waves which continued to occur put constant pressure on elective care especially in the Northern European countries and doctor's visits hardly recovered. Combined with the impact of the registration of a number of non-sterile compounds by third parties, this resulted in a decline in turnover in Compounding Services for 2021. However, in the fourth quarter we saw the decline levelling off significantly compared to the first nine months of the year. This was partly due to the lower impact of the registrations in the fourth quarter and a cautious recovery of elective care in some countries.

Whereas Brands and Essentials benefitted from increased demand for COVID-19 related products in 2020, this was no longer the case in 2021, although we did see growing demand for COVID self-tests, particularly in the fourth quarter. On balance, Essentials developed negatively and Brands slightly positive in 2021. Premium Pharmaceuticals reported a slight increase in turnover in 2021.

The turnover of the Latin America segment increased 9.3% in 2021 (16.6% at constant exchange rates) to €141.1 million. Organic turnover growth at constant exchange rates was 16.5%. REBITDA increased 18.4% to €30.5 million. REBITDA as a percentage of turnover rose by 170 basis points to 21.7%, mainly as a result of a strong fourth quarter, efficiency improvements and product mix.

In Latin America compounding pharmacies are Fagron's most important sales channel and these mostly stayed open despite the COVID-19 restrictions. All countries where Fagron operates in Latin America achieved turnover growth in 2021, allowing Fagron to further strengthen its competitive position. Brands and Essentials both displayed good organic turnover growth. The Compounding Services activities in Colombia, which represent a relatively small share of total turnover in Latin America, realized very strong turnover growth of 40.5% at constant exchange rates in 2021. With our focus on prevention, we are well positioned to benefit from the increased focus on a healthy lifestyle.

The turnover of the North America segment increased 11.3% in 2021 (15.3% at constant exchange rates) to €177.6 million. Organic turnover growth was 14.3% at constant exchange rates. REBITDA declined 3.7% to €32.2 million. The REBITDA margin declined with 280 basis points to 18.1%. This decline was mainly due to the introduction of a second shift at FSS.

Brands and Essentials reported a decrease in turnover of 8.2% (-7.2% at constant exchange rates). The decline was mainly due to the fading demand for COVID-19 related products.

Fagron Compounding Services (FSS and AnazaoHealth) realized a very strong turnover increase of 28.9% (33.5% at constant exchange rates). In December, FSS had a run rate (turnover; annualized) of over US\$80 million. Taking into consideration completed and planned SKU introductions, including the introduction of epidurals in 2022, the further expansion of the range of prefilled intravenous (IV) bags, the high level of automation, the progress in integrating the assets acquired from US Compounding and newly concluded contracts, we expect this growth to continue. As a result, FSS is well on track to achieve its turnover target of US\$125 million (run rate) in 2022.
