Pisa, 6 November 2023 – The Board of Directors of PharmaNutra S.p.A. (MTA; Ticker PHN), a company specialising in mineral-based nutritional supplements and muscle and joint medical devices, approved the Interim Management Report as at 30 September 2022 (unaudited) today.
Roberto Lacorte Vice Chairman of PharmaNutra S.p.A., stated: "The PharmaNutra Group is engaged in a series of important investments in new business lines, as never before, since its foundation. These include the establishment of PharmaNutra USA and PharmaNutra Spain, the launch of the new food supplement line Cetilar Nutrition, and more. The most important investments have in fact been dedicated to various lines of research and development, which will bring further value to the market in which the company is active and open up new applications, with results that can already be considered extremely encouraging and important in the field of R&D. In this scenario, the continuity of the results issued with this quarterly report - in terms of increased sales, sustained EBITDA and net profit - reinforce the positive and enthusiastic spirit of the company's intent, and fuels the pleasure of sharing our reality with all investors. It is also worth mentioning that PharmaNutra has just moved into its new production unit, which represents a very important step in the company's history, making it possible to conduct daily business in an extremely pleasant and stimulating atmosphere".
PharmaNutra S.p.A.




The Group's performance confirms the forecasts both in terms of revenue growth (+18.5% compared to the same period of the previous year) and with regard to the slight reduction in margins due to the effect of operating costs associated with the start-up of new development projects (Cetilar® Nutrition, PHN USA, PHN ESP, China). Excluding the operating costs related to the start-up of the new initiatives (approximately 3 million euro), the EBITDA margin on revenues at 30 September 2023 is in line with that of the same period of the previous year.

* the Net Result and Net earnings per share excluding non-recurring items as at 30/09/2023 do not include the allocation made to the Provision for Taxes for the amount of 2 million euro, which represents the estimate related to the definition of the tax periods between 2017 and 2021 with the aim of adhering to the institute of cooperative compliance provided for by Italian Legislative Decree No. 128 of 5 August 2015.
Consolidated net revenues as at 30 September 2023 amounted to 71.4 million euro, an increase of 11.2 million euro (+18.5%) compared to the same period of the previous year.



Sales volumes of finished products as at 30 September 2023, amounting to approximately 9.1 million units increased by about 8.5% if compared to the volumes at 30 September 2022 (8.4 million units).
Revenues generated on the Italian market amounted to 47.1 million euro (42.5 million euro as at 30 September 2022), an increase of 11%, with a 66% ratio to total revenues, compared to 70% in the same period last year. The increase in revenues derives from higher sales of finished products and the consolidation of Akern for 3.6 million euro, while sales of raw materials remained substantially in line with the same period of the previous year.
Consolidated net sales revenues in foreign markets amounted to 20.7 million euro versus 16.9 million euro as at 30 September 2022, recording a net increase of 3.8 million euro (+22%). As a result of the above, the ratio of revenues from foreign markets to total revenues increased from 28% as at 30 September 2022 to 29% as at 30 September 2023. The revenue contribution of new business is still marginal.
The analysis of revenues from finished products by product line (Trademark) shown in the table below reveals an increase in the SiderAL® line, leader in the iron-based supplements market with a value market share of 53.6%1 .
Sales of the Cetilar® line show an increase of about 22% compared to the same period in 2022.
The slowdown in sales of Apportal® year-on-year, in line with the general trend in the topical products market, occurred as the effects of Covid 19 faded.

Operating expenses as at 30 September 2023, amounting to 53.2 million euro (+ 28% approximately compared to 30 September 2022), increased naturally due to the increase in revenue and to the start-up costs of new projects (approximately 3.0 million euro), in particular referred to recruiting costs, personnel costs, administrative and commercial consulting and marketing costs.
The Pharmanutra Group's Gross Operating Profit (EBITDA) for the nine months ended 30 September 2023 stood at 19.0 million euro (19.1 million euro for the nine months ended 30 September 2022), representing a margin of 26.4% of total revenue with a decrease of approximately 4% compared to the nine months ended 30 September 2022. Excluding the effect of start-up costs of the new initiatives, the Gross Operating Profit for the nine months ended 30 September 2023 would be in line with that recorded in the same period of the previous year, indicating the Group's recurring business solidity.
The Net result for the period amounts to 9.7 million euro compared to 12.8 million euro as at 30 September 2022.



The Net result for the period excluding non-recurring items, including the allowance to tax provision mentioned above, amounted to 11.7 million euro.
The Net result per share was 1.01 euro compared to 1.33 euro as at 30 September 2022.
The Net Result per share excluding non-recurring items at 30 September 2023 were 1.21 euro per share compared to 1.33 euro per share as at 30 September 2022.
The Net Financial Position as of 30 September 2023 was negative in the amount of 9.9 million euro, compared to a positive balance of 10.6 million euro as of 31 December 2022. The operating cash flow for the period amounted to 3.2 million euro; capital expenditures for 12.3 million euro were made, treasury shares were repurchased for the amount of 1.6 million euro and tax credits for 4.3 million euro were purchased.
On 5 October, the Group's new headquarters were inaugurated. The new headquarters occupy a total area of more than 5,300 square metres, of which 2,200 square metres are dedicated to production, 1,600 square metres to executive offices, and about 1,500 square metres to additional services. Moreover, there are more than 10,000 square metres of outdoor space.
This is a highly strategic capital expenditure for the Group's development, with which it has been possible to internalise the production of proprietary raw materials and research activities, which will be carried out in one of the most innovative nutritional research and development laboratories in Europe, so that new product development times will be reduced.
An agreement was signed in October with the Tuscan Regional Directorate of the Italian Revenue Agency to access the facilitated taxation regime provided by the former Patent Box for the 2019-2023 five-year period, referring to the direct exploitation of technical know-how and patents that had not been included in the previous agreement.
Calculations are being prepared to determine the size of the resulting tax benefit.



The solid base represented by a double-digit growth trend in terms of revenues, coupled with the constant marginality of the Group's recurring business, will allow the Group to focus on the commercial development of the new line of food supplements designed specifically for sports enthusiasts (Cetilar® Nutrition), the marketing of which began at the end of the first quarter through a dedicated network of sales agents and the e-commerce channel, the development of the operations of Pharmanutra USA, through which the distribution of all the Group's main products in the USA has just begun, and the development of the operations of Pharmanutra España for the marketing of the Cetilar® (cream, patch, tape and gold) and Cetilar® Nutrition line products on the Spanish market.
The capital expenditures planned to support the projects described are expected to result in a moderate reduction in margins for the next two financial years.
The current international tensions and the unpredictable developments of the scenarios related to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East create a generalised macroeconomic uncertainty that could affect the achievement of corporate objectives.
