3. Summary of the most important accounting policies

The most important accounting policies used to prepare the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the first semester of 2024 are consistent with those applied in the Fagron consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Capital expenditure 4,445 12,342 2,634 0 19,421

On 31 December 2023, the assets and liabilities, as well as the capital expenditures (investments) are as follows:

2023 Fagron North Fagron Latin Unassigned/
intersegment
(x 1,000 euros) Fagron EMEA America America elimination Total
Total assets 382,387 316,248 206,966 101,353 1,006,954
Total liabilities 138,907 189,724 45,119 165,577 539,327
Capital expenditure 18,389 21,151 5,239 0 44,779

Gross capital expenditures in the first half of 2024 mainly relate to investments in compounding facilities in the United States and further software implementations. The investment expenditure excludes the change in investment obligations. The unallocated assets mainly relate to cash and cash equivalents. The unallocated liabilities mainly relate to financial debts.

10. Goodwill

The increase in goodwill is explained by business combinations as further explained in note 15 and exchange rate differences mainly caused by a strengthening of the US dollar and a weakening of the Brazilian real against the euro as per 31 December 2023.

11. Debt

On 30 June 2024, the outstanding amount of both term loans was a total of 235 million euros (December 2023: 235 million euros) and an amount of 93.4 million euros has been drawn under the syndicated credit line (December 2023: 90.5 million euros). The increase in the amount is due to currency revaluations.

During the first six months of 2024 no additional interest hedges have been added to the portfolio. The interest rate risk related to 170 million euros of term loans was hedged with interest derivatives. The duration of the euro interest hedges varies from August 2024 until August 2026. The interest hedge related to the interest exposure on 100 million US dollars has expired in June 2024.

All financial instruments are valued at amortised cost except for derivative financial instruments and contingent considerations for acquisitions, which are valued at fair value. The fair value approximates the carrying amount. The interest hedge for 170 million euro related to the long term debt is accounted for under the IFRS hedge accounting rules, resulting in (re-)valuation through equity.

The (re-)valuation of the financial derivatives through the financial result is related to the USD part of the RCF and consists of 2.2 million euros in financial costs (June 2023: 1.4 million euros) from interest rate derivatives and 1.9 million euros (June 2023: 2.0 million euros) in financial costs from currency derivatives. The 1.9 million euros in financial costs due to the (re-)valuation of the currency derivatives are largely offset by income from exchange rate differences. The remaining increase in the financial expenses mainly relates to higher interest expenses.

On 30 June 2024, the net financial debt / EBITDA ratio equals 1.5. The EBITDA / net interest expense ratio is equal to 7.8. Fagron thus more than met the financial covenants.

12. Contingencies

Fagron runs certain risks for which no provision has been made. These have been mentioned in the Fagron consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 and no significant new events have taken place.

13. Total adjustment for non-cash items

(x 1,000 euros) June 2024 June 2023
Depreciation and amortization intangible fixed assets 5,858 5,348
Depreciation property, plant and equipment 5,917 5,618
Depreciation lease and similar rights 6,222 5,566
Write-down on inventories and receivables 1,713 2,425
(Profit) loss on sale of non-current assets -272 -141
Movements in provisions -91 9
Share-based payments 576 1,232
Total adjustments for non-cash items 19,922 20,058

14. Total changes in working capital

(x 1,000 euros) June 2024 June 2023
Changes in operational working capital -31,359 -14,119
Changes in other working capital -29 -4,203
Total changes in working capital -31,388 -18,322

The change in operational working capital is 17.2 million euros lower than in 2023, mainly due to the phasing out of factoring in 2024.

15. Business combination

Fair value of acquired assets and liabilities

The provisional determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Parma Produkt acquisition in Hungary and in London Specialist Pharmacy acquisition in the United Kingdom resulted in a combined adjustment of 15.0 million euros to goodwill. The provisional fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities is detailed below.

Total acquisition amount 28,339
Goodwill 15,009
Net acquired assets 13,330
Total liabilities 5,757
Other current payables 1,563
Trade payables 1,921
Lease liabilities 2,089
Borrowings 184
Total assets 19,087
Cash and cash equivalents 4,344
Other receivables 631
Trade receivables 1,348
Inventories 2,056
Deferred tax assets 1
Other non-current assets 93
Financial assets 321
Property, plant and equipment 9,726
Intangible fixed assets 566
(x 1,000 euros) 2024

The final determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Wildlife Pharmaceutical acquisition in South Africa did not result in an adjustment to the goodwill.

Contingent considerations

On 30 June 2024, Fagron has outstanding liabilities of approximately 4.0 million euros to selling shareholders which were determined based on business plans at the time of acquisition. 2.0 million euros of these liabilities are related to acquisitions before 2024.

After-tax payments for business combinations are expected to be paid before the end of 2027.

The subsequent payments for business combinations vary between 2.0 million euros and a maximum of 4.0 million euros. The retrospective payments are valued at fair value at the moment of acquisition. The current expectation is that the remunerations will be paid on the expiration dates.

16. Related parties

The members of the Executive Leadership Team and the non-executive directors are considered as related parties. The remuneration policy is described in the Corporate Governance Statement which is part of the 2023 annual report and the Remuneration policy directors and executive leadership team available on www.fagron.com. The remuneration is determined on a yearly basis; therefore, no further details are provided in these interim financial statements.

In the first half of 2024, 138,284 performance shares and 113,539 performance share units were granted to Fagron's executive leadership team and employees. The performance objectives are based on a combination of financial objectives and sustainability objectives. Financial objectives for the first grant under the plan for 2024-2026 relate to relative total shareholder return (TSR), organic revenue growth, REBITDA, and operational cash conversion. Sustainability objectives for the first grant under the plan for the period 2024-2026, relate to the reduction of greenhouse gas intensity and employee engagement.

17. Subsequent events

There were no subsequent events.

18. Effective tax rate

Recognised income tax expenses are based on management's best estimate of the weighted average effective income tax rate of 21.4% for 2024 (S1 2023: 21.1%).

19. Alternative performance measures

In addition to the performance measures defined in IFRS, other measures are also used in these interim financial statements. These "alternative performance measures" are set out below:

Report on the review of the consolidated interim financial information of Fagron NV for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024

In the context of our appointment as the company's statutory auditor, we report to you on the consolidated interim financial information. This consolidated interim financial information comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2024, the condensed consolidated income statement, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the period of six months then ended, as well as selective notes 1 to 19.

Report on the consolidated interim financial information

We have reviewed the consolidated interim financial information of Fagron NV ("the company") and its subsidiaries (jointly "the group"), prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.

The consolidated condensed statement of financial position shows total assets of 1 045 061 (000) EUR and the consolidated condensed income statement shows a net profit for the period then ended of 40 651 (000) EUR.

The board of directors of the company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this consolidated interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review of the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410, "Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the consolidated interim financial information.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated interim financial information of Fagron NV has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.

Signed at Antwerp.
