"In the first half of the year we posted a strong underlying operating performance across both Recordati business units - Specialty & Primary Care and Rare Diseases. The integration of EUSA Pharma is progressing smoothly and well, with revenue contribution in the second quarter ahead of plan", commented Rob Koremans, Chief Executive Officer.
"This positive performance is especially thanks to the strong commitment of our people across the company, who are dedicated to delivering on our mission to improve the lives of our patients and their families," Rob Koremans continued. "The strong momentum we are reporting today gives us confidence on outlook for our Group. We confirm our FY2022 targets, with total revenue expected at the top end of the guidance range".
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 integration of the business is progressing in line with plan and growth of the acquired portfolio is strong. The acquisition of EUSA Pharma represents 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 with four drugs with high growth potential in the niche treatment area of rare cancers, and providing a platform for possible future expansion. The consolidation of EUSA Pharma opening balances was included in the Recordati Group financial statements at March 31st 2022, with provisional recognition under Goodwill of the entire difference between the amount paid and carrying amount of the assets and liabilities acquired, as permitted by accounting standard IFRS3. The preliminary IFRS3 purchase price allocation resulted in approximately € 530 million of value assigned to acquired Intangibles and approximately € 140 million uplift to the value of acquired inventory, with € 141.5 million of Deferred Tax Liabilities and € 150.9 million Goodwill. As already communicated, income statement results have been consolidated as from the second quarter of 2022, with EUSA Pharma contributing strongly to the financial performance of the Group.
In the scope of the license and supply agreements closed 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 relevant application for approval was submitted in the first quarter of 2022 and subsequently accepted by the authority. Eligard® is a medicinal product for the treatment of advanced hormone-dependent prostate cancer and for the treatment of high-risk localized and locally advanced hormone-dependent 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 on acceptance by regulatory authorities of the application. Eligard® performance was positive in first six months, with Recordati promotion stabilising in-market sales performance and returning product to growth in several markets.
Our focus and efforts in driving our ESG strategy have been further recognized in June 2022, by the FTSE4GOOD Index series inclusion reconfirmation and the increase rating from "Gold" to "Platinum" by EcoVadis.
On February 24th, 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 million and € 660 million and adjusted net income(2) between € 450 million and € 470 million.
Given the strong momentum of the business, in spite of the impact of the conflict in Ukraine and growing inflationary pressures, the Company confirms its targets for the year, expecting overall Revenue at the top end of the guidance range (assumes EURRUB FY average @75), with EBITDA(1) and Adjusted Net Income(2) expected around the middle of the range, due to higher inflationary pressure in the second half of the year (including Turkey IAS 29 impact) and FX volatility. These targets include a contribution for the full year (Q2- Q4) from EUSA Pharma of close to € 130 million of revenue, with EBITDA margin of 25-30%.
Non-recurring costs, which are not included in EBITDA(1) or Adjusted net income(2), are estimated at approximately € 40 million, with slight acceleration of right sizing in SPC.
Non-cash charges, arising from IFRS3 PPA from EUSA Pharma acquisition, are estimated for the full year (Q2-Q4) at around € 20 million for amortization and at around € 50 million from unwind of acquired inventory fair value step up.
Financial expenses are expected at € 53-55 million, assuming € 10-12 million FX losses (assumes year end EURRUB consensus of around @70) and assuming € 10 million of net monetary losses from IAS 29.
(5) Cash and cash equivalents, less bank debts and loans, which include the measurement at fair value of hedging derivatives.
(6) Gross profit adjusted from impact of non-cash charges arising arising from the allocation of the purchase price of EUSA Pharma to the gross margin of acquired inventory (IFRS 3).
(7) Net income before income taxes, financial income and expenses, non-recurring items and non-cash charges arising from the allocation of the purchase price of EUSA Pharma to the gross margin of acquired inventory (IFRS 3).
(1) Net income before income taxes, financial income and expenses, depreciation, amortization and write-downs of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill, non-recurring items and non-cash charges arising from the allocation of the purchase price of EUSA Pharma to the gross margin of acquired inventory (IFRS 3).
