Flat organic growth in a post COVID environment, pressure on margins

- 14.6% Y-o-Y Sales increase driven by M&A - Haemotronic ("HT") and STT
- 35.0% sales growth excluding the effect of disposable masks in 2021

- time leg in passing on the sharp cost inflation via pricing increase

- Net financial position increase in FY 2022 linked to M&A financing
- Q4 net financial position in reduction at €375m as of 31st December 2022 thanks to NWC control and operating cash generation
- €75mn loan by the controlling shareholder to assure the respect of financial covenants and offer a further liquidity buffer for potential operational needs
(2) Leverage ratio calculated as NFP/Pro forma EBITDA. i.e. including 12M contribution by the newly acquired companies (STT and Haemotronic for FY 2022)
(3) Pro-forma EBITDA including 12 months contribution of Haemotronics and STT
