Quarterly Statement as of March 31, 2021

Medios AG starts the 2021 financial year with a record quarter

  • Revenue and earnings nearly doubled in Q1 2021
  • First-time consolidation of Cranach Pharma GmbH
  • Outlook 2021: Almost doubling of revenue and significant increase in earnings

Medios AG ("Medios"), the leading provider of Specialty Pharma Solutions in Germany, confirms its forecast for the 2021 financial year after a successful first quarter. Revenue in the period from January to March 2021 increased by 94.0% to €315.9 million compared to the same period of the previous year (€162.8 million). EBITDA pre1 increased by 106.5% to €8.8 million (previous year €4.3 million). EBT pre1 climbed by 90.7% to €7.1 million (previous year €3.7 million). Thus, both revenue and earnings reached new record levels. Both operating segments contributed to the growth in revenue as well as earnings with improved operating margins.

The specialized pharmaceutical wholesaler Cranach Pharma GmbH, acquired in January 2021, contributed to Medios' growth in the first quarter of 2021 with a revenue of €139.6 million and EBITDA pre1 of €5.0 million.

Important events in the reporting period

Acquisition of Cranach Pharma GmbH

Since January 21, 2021, Cranach Pharma GmbH is another 100% subsidiary and Medios is the leading Specialty Pharma provider in Germany. As a result of the merger, Medios' partner network has increased from approximately 330 by the end of 2020 to around 500 specialized pharmacies. The integration of the company is taking place according to plan.

Establishment of additional certified GMP laboratories started

As part of its strategy to expand the higher-margin business segment of Patient-Specific Therapies, Medios began setting up additional laboratories in a newly rented building at an existing site at the beginning of the reporting year. With the completion of the most modern and GMP-certified laboratories at the end of 2021, it will be possible to triple manufacturing capacities.

Joining the United Nations Global Compact

Since March 8, 2021, Medios has been a member of the United Nations Global Compact, the world's largest initiative for responsible corporate leadership. By joining, Medios has committed to upholding the network's ten universal principles and sustainability goals.

Significant events after the reporting period

Initiation of coverage by Deutsche Bank

On April 19, 2021, Deutsche Bank initiated coverage of Medios AG and issued a "Buy" recommendation for the shares. In addition to Deutsche Bank, Medios continues to be covered by Berenberg, Jefferies, Kepler Cheuvreux, Metzler Capital Markets and Warburg.

Earnings, financial and asset situation of the Medios Group

The earnings situation of the Medios Group has improved significantly in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period of the previous year. This is due in particular to the inclusion of Cranach Pharma GmbH in the consolidated financial statements since January 2021; the company has been fully consolidated since January 1, 2021, which is reflected accordingly in the financial figures. The Medios Group generated revenue of €315.9 million, an increase of €153.1 million or 94.0% (previous year €107.0 million) – of which 86.6 percentage points are attributable to inorganic growth through Cranach Pharma GmbH and Kölsche Blister GmbH.

The main growth driver was the Pharmaceutical Supply segment, which increased its external revenue by €151.4 million or 102.2% to €299.6 million (previous year €148.2 million) including €139.6 million from Cranach Pharma GmbH. External revenue of the Patient-Specific Therapies segment increased by €1.6 million or 11.0% to €16.1 million (previous year €14.5 million). The Services segment recorded external revenue of €0.1 million (previous year €0.1 million). All revenues were generated almost exclusively in Germany.

Personnel expenses and other expenses rose disproportionately low.

EBITDA pre1 increased by €4.5 million or 106.5% to €8.8 million (previous year €4.3 million).

The increase in depreciation and amortization from €0.6 million to €3.8 million is mainly due to the first-time amortization of the customer relationships of Cranach Pharma GmbH acquired in January 2021.

EBT pre1 recorded an increase of €3.4 million or 90.7% to €7.1 million (previous year €3.7 million).

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to €21.4 million (previous year €-10.5 million). Furthermore, the cash inflow in connection with the integration of Cranach Pharma GmbH and the further utilization of the credit line exceeded the cash outflow for the settlement of financial liabilities to the former owner of Cranach Pharma GmbH.

The increase in cash flow from investment activities is mainly resulting from the contribution of cash and cash equivalents as part of the acquisition of Cranach Pharma GmbH.

The balance sheet total as at March 31, 2021 amounted to €453.9 million (December 31, 2020: €194.5 million). The increase of 133.3% is mainly due to the significant organic growth and the acquisition of Cranach Pharma GmbH. Equity amounted to €312.8 million as at March 31, 2021, an increase of €170.3 million or 119.6% (December 31, 2020: €142.4 million). The equity ratio was 68.9% as at March 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020: 73.2%).

Outlook

Medios expects strong growth in the 2021 financial year despite the still challenging market environment. The company expects revenue of €1.15 to 1.20 billion, EBITDA pre1 of €38 to 39 million and EBT pre1 of €31 to 32 million. This corresponds to a revenue growth of around 84 to 92% as well as an even more significant increase in EBITDA pre1 of around 152 to 159% and an increase in EBT pre1 of around 158 to 166%. In this context, Medios assumes that the Corona-related special effects burdening earnings will continue to weaken in the course of 2021.

1 EBITDA is defined as net earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBT is defined as net earnings before income taxes. EBITDA pre and EBT pre are each adjusted for extraordinary expenses for stock options, M&A activities and amortization of the customer base.
