ERRATA CORRIGE: this Press Release cancels and replaces the previous press release, published on SDIR today at 13:01 as in the description of the business outlook the figure of the new 2022 guidance for the overall Revenues was incorrectly indicated in around € 1,870 million instead of the correct figure of around € 1,860 million, as already indicated also in the presentation made available to the public earlier today.
Milan, 8th November 2022 — The Board of Directors of Recordati S.p.A. approved the Group's Interim Report at 30th September 2022, representing additional voluntary financial reporting (6). The Report was prepared using the assessment, measurement and recognition criteria prescribed by international accounting standards (IFRS). The Group's Interim Report at 30th September 2022 will be available tomorrow at the company's offices and on the company's website (www.recordati.it) and can also be viewed on the authorised storage system ().
• Consolidated net revenue in the first nine months of 2022 was € 1,377.5 million, up 19.1% compared to the same period of the previous year, including € 91.1 million of Q2-Q3 revenue from the rare and niche oncology product portfolio acquired with EUSA Pharma, consolidated since the second quarter. Net of the new acquisition and of the slightly adverse currency exchange rate effect of € 1.7 million (- 0.1%), organic (3) growth was 10.4%, driven by strong performance of the portfolio across both business units. In the Specialty & Primary Care segment, the Group recorded continued strong growth in sales of medical specialties for seasonal flu and gastrointestinal diseases, in addition to higher contribution of Eligard®, while in the Rare Diseases segment, in addition to the contribution of the

new oncology portfolio, we continued to achieve strong growth of the endocrinology franchise, with particularly strong Q3 revenue also of the rare metabolic portfolio.

"In the first nine months of the year, the Group recorded very positive operating results, with revenue and underlying operating profits growing and trending above expectations, on the back of continued recovery of the pharmaceutical markets and thanks to the excellent performance of our portfolio of products. We have also continued to progress on ESG efforts, recognised with upgraded rating by several agencies," commented Rob Koremans, Chief Executive Officer.
"The strong momentum combined with the achievement of important milestones to support our growth, such as the approval of a new device to administer Eligard®, poises us for further growth and create value for all our stakeholders. We have revised upwards our full year 2022 targets to reflect the strong performance to date," concluded Mr Koremans.
The acquisition of EUSA Pharma (UK) Limited was completed on March 16th, 2022. This specialist global pharmaceutical company based in the United Kingdom, focuses on niche rare and oncology diseases. The acquisition of EUSA Pharma is an additional and significant step forward in achieving our strategy, which aims to increase our presence in the rare diseases segment and implement our mission: improving patients' lives by delivering innovative treatments that address serious unmet medical needs. The transaction integrates Recordati's global presence with new expertise and a highly efficient and focused commercial infrastructure, adding a product portfolio of four drugs with high growth potential for the treatment of niche rare cancers and providing a platform for possible future expansion. The consolidation of the opening balances of EUSA Pharma in the Recordati Group occurred with reference to the date of 31st March 2022, taking into account the fair value adjustments resulting from the Purchase Price Allocation process, with recognition in the item "Goodwill" of the difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired. As permitted by the accounting standard IFRS 3, this valuation process should

be considered still provisional, considering the limited period that has passed since the completion of the acquisition operation. Income statement results have been consolidated as from the second quarter of 2022, contributing strongly to the Group's performance.
Pursuant to the license and supply agreements signed in January 2021 with Tolmar International Ltd to market Eligard® (leuprorelin acetate) in Europe, Turkey, Russia, and other countries, following a request from the European Medicines Agency (EMA), a new device was developed to make administration of the product easier. The new device variation was submitted in the first quarter of 2022 and subsequently accepted by the authority. Eligard® is a medicinal product for the treatment of advanced hormonedependent prostate cancer and for the treatment of high-risk localized and locally advanced hormonedependent prostate cancer, in combination with radiotherapy. The active ingredient in Eligard®, leuprorelin acetate, presents in powder form, which is solubilized with a solvent and administered as a subcutaneous injection. Based on the agreements signed, a milestone of € 35 million was paid to Tolmar International Ltd in second quarter of 2022 on acceptance of the variation. On 22nd September 2022 the Reference Member State (Germany) approved the variation regarding the new device to administer Eligard®, and on the same date the procedures to achieve the national approval started. The payment to Tolmar International Ltd of a milestone of € 70 million is linked to the conclusion of the national approvals of the new device in certain countries and the fulfilment of other contractual conditions. Worthy of note, Eligard® performance was very positive in the first nine months, with Recordati promotion stabilising in-market sales performance and returning the product to growth in several markets.
On 30th September 2022, following the acquisition of the rights for Signifor® LAR completed in October 2019 and the issue of the required authorization by the competent Swiss regulatory authority, our subsidiary Recordati AG finalised the transfer from Novartis Pharma of the assets related to the Signifor® LAR microparticle production phase conducted in Novartis manufacturing plant in Basel, with payment of the residual milestone due. The transfer of control of the assets and of the associated risks to Recordati AG is effective from 1st October 2022.
Our focus and efforts in driving our ESG strategy have been further recognized, by the FTSE4GOOD Index series inclusion reconfirmation and the increase rating from "Gold" to "Platinum" by EcoVadis. Furthermore, the A rating awarded by MSCI was confirmed and, in September 2022, our total ESG coverage was declared "Robust" according to the analysis by Moody's ESG Solutions.
On 24th February 2022, the Company announced the following financial targets for 2022, which include the contribution from the newly acquired EUSA Pharma as from the second quarter of the year: revenue between € 1,720 million and € 1,780 million, EBITDA (1) between € 630 and € 660 million and adjusted net income (2) between € 450 and € 470 million.
Given the strong momentum of the business, the Company has revised upwards its full year 2022 guidance. The new guidance expects overall Revenue of around € 1,860 million, with EBITDA (1) of around € 670 million and Adjusted Net Income(2) of around € 460 million.
These results include slightly dilutive effect of Turkey IAS 29 application (expected impact of + € 15 million on Revenue and - € 8 million on EBITDA).
Non-recurring costs, which are not included in EBITDA(1) or Adjusted net income(2) , are still estimated at

approximately € 40 million, with acceleration of right sizing in SPC. Non-monetary adjustments originating from the application of the standard IFRS 3 for the purchase price allocation of EUSA Pharma, are estimated for 2022 (Q2-Q4) as approximately € 20 million for intangible amortization and approximately € 50 million for the revaluation at fair value of the inventories acquired. Financial expenses are now expected at around € 60 million, due to enduring strength of RUB and assuming around € 10 million of net monetary losses from IAS 29.
The Board of Directors passed a resolution to distribute an interim 2022 dividend to shareholders of € 0.55 (gross of tax withholdings) per share outstanding at the ex-dividend date, thus excluding treasury stock held in the Company's portfolio on that date. The 2022 interim dividend will be payable as of 23rd November 2022 (record date 22nd November 2022), with coupon no. 30, to shareholders registered on 21st November 2022.
The Independent Auditor EY S.p.A. has issued the opinion required by Art. 2433 – bis, paragraph 5 of the Italian Civil Code, which is available at the company's offices.
The Directors' Report and Recordati S.p.A. financial statements as of 30th June 2022, based on which the latter's Board of Directors resolved the distribution of the interim dividend, are available at the company's office and website (www.recordati.it), and can also be viewed on the authorised storage system ().
