QUARTERLY STATEMENT AS OF 31 MARCH 2020

Following to the admission to the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on 29 May 2020 and in compliance with the ongoing reporting obligations resulting from the admission, Medios AG publishes the following quarterly statement for the first quarter 2020 in addition to the press release already published on 4 May 2020:

Medios AG confirms forecast for 2020 after first quarter – Admission to Prime Standard

  • Sales growth of more than 50% in the first quarter of 2020
  • So far, no significant Corona effects on business development
  • Continued growth expected for the full year
  • Admission to Prime Standard granted

Medios AG ('Medios'), one of the leading Specialty Pharma companies in Germany, has continued its dynamic growth in the first quarter of the 2020 financial year. In the period from January to March, group sales increased by 52.2% to €162.8 million compared to the same period of the previous year (€107.0 million). Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted for extraordinary expenses*, increased by 19.3% to €4.3 million (previous year €3.6 million). Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT), adjusted for extraordinary expenses*, climbed by 16.6% to €3.7 million (previous year €3.2 million). The Management Board confirms the full-year forecast.

Significant events in the reporting period

Acquisition of Kölsche Blister GmbH

With the acquisition of Kölsche Blister GmbH in the first quarter of 2020, Medios' business model was expanded with the service of patient-specific blistering. This is the patient-related repackaging of finished pharmaceuticals on individual request.

Raising of a syndicated loan in the amount of €62.5 million

In addition, Medios has signed an agreement for a syndicated loan in the amount of €62.5 million in the first quarter. This is intended to enable Medios to finance future growth and to make further acquisitions if requested in order to benefit from the consolidation of the pharmaceutical market.

Significant events after the reporting period

Admission to the Prime Standard

On 29 May 2020, the Company was admitted to the sub-segment of the Regulated Market with additional post-admission obligations (Prime Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Thus, the Medios shares are now traded in the segment with the highest transparency and disclosure requirements in Europe. Previously, Medios was listed in the General Standard of the Regulated Market.

Placement oversubscribed several times – Free float over 60%

Mid-May the successful placement of 600,000 existing shares took place. The shares were sold in a private placement by M.M.Warburg & CO to international institutional investors. The offering was oversubscribed more than three times after only a short time. There was no dilution of the shareholders. The free float of Medios AG has increased from around 57% to around 61% as a result of the full placement.

Financial performance and financial position

The earnings situation of the Medios Group continued to improve in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the same period of the previous year. The Medios Group achieved a turnover of €162.8 million. Sales increased by €55.8 million or 52.2% compared to the same period of the previous year (€107.0 million).

The largest growth driver was once again the Pharmaceutical Supply segment, which increased its sales by €53.8 million, or 57.0%, to €148.2 million compared to the same period of the previous year (€94.4 million). The Patient-specific Therapies segment also continued to grow compared to the previous year. Revenues increased by €2.0 million to €14.5 million (same period last year: €12.5 million). This corresponds to an increase of 15.9%. In the Services segment, sales remained at a low level of €0.1 million compared to €0.0 million in the previous year. The segment provides internal group services, particularly in the areas of IT and finance. Sales to third parties are generated with IT services. All sales were generated almost exclusively within the Federal Republic of Germany.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) without extraordinary expenses rose by 19.3% from €3.6 million to €4.3 million, particularly as a result of the expansion of business. EBT without extraordinary expenses rose from €3.2 million to €3.7 million, an increase of 16.6% compared to the previous year.

Extraordinary expenses resulted from share option programs in the amount of €0.2 million and the amortization of the customer base capitalized in 2018 as a result of the acquisition of operating units of BerlinApotheke Schneider & Oleski oHG in the amount of €0.2 million.

The operating cash flow increased by €1.7 million to €2.4 million.

The balance sheet total as of 31 March 2020 amounted to €134.8 million. The increase is mainly driven by higher inventories for stockpiling against the background of COVID-19, with an opposite increase in trade payables. These increases have since been reduced again. As a result, the equity ratio fell to 61.8% despite an absolute increase in equity to €83.3 million.

Outlook

For the 2020 financial year, Medios continues to expect – including the acquisition of Kölsche Blister GmbH in March 2020 – group sales of around €610 to €670 million, an adjusted EBITDA* of around €19.5 to €22.5 million and an adjusted EBT* of around €17.5 to €20.5 million.

The wider target ranges take into account the special conditions. At present, it is not possible to estimate whether the spread of the Corona virus will have a larger impact on the future business development. So far, it has not been significantly affected by the pandemic however.
