2023 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

Milano, May 11th 2023

Q1 2023 HIGHLIGHTS STRONG START OF THE YEAR – FY 2023 GUIDANCE UPGRADED

  • Overall Group Net Revenue at € 551.4 million, +31.5% vs PY or +21.0% like-for-like (1) at CER, with strong underlying momentum across both business units and all key markets:
  • SPC (ex. Chemicals) at € 361.8 million, +20.4% vs PY (+15.0% excluding Türkiye), growing ahead of relevant markets, with broadbased growth across all key countries; commercial excellence driving marked improvement in competitiveness
  • RRD at € 174.7 million, +64.7% vs PY or +20.9% like-for-like (1), with strong growth of Endo (+44.7%) and Oncology portfolio (contributing € 47.7 million, +24.2% pro forma) and resilient Metabolic performance, with slow penetration of recent GX entries
  • Strong underlying revenue performance also enhanced by channel movements in Türkiye and Russia and phasing of shipments to international distributors, with total Q1 benefit of roughly € 15-20 million (mostly in SPC), in addition to exceptional Cough & Cold season
  • High operating leverage drove strong operating and bottom-line results, with EBITDA (2) of € 220.8 million or 40.0% on Net Revenue; operating margins also benefit from fixed cost absorption level in COGS and efficiency initiatives announced in 2022
  • Adjusted Net Income (3) of € 155.0 million, +33.3% vs PY, driven by the positive operating performance partially off-set by higher financial expenses, due to higher net debt and increased interest rates
  • Net debt (5) of € 1,339.6 million, with leverage at 1.8x EBITDA, with strong Free Cash Flow (4) of € 103.4 million, absorbing working capital increase (inventories and receivables) from high business growth
  • Key R&D pipeline projects progressing to plan; expect gradual ramp-up of R&D spend in the rest of the year

Expect to exceed top end of the original guidance range for FY 2023 for both top and bottom line

2 3) Net income excluding amortization and write-downs of intangible assets (except software) and goodwill, non-recurring items, non-cash charges arising from the allocation of the purchase price of EUSA Pharma to the gross margin of acquired inventory (IFRS 3) and monetary net gains/losses from hyperinflation (IAS 29), net of tax effects 4) Operating cash flow excluding financing items, milestones, dividends, purchases of treasury shares net of proceeds from exercise of stock options 5) Cash and cash equivalents, less bank debts and loans, which include the measurement at fair value of hedging derivatives

1) Adjusted for first quarter 2022 revenue from the recent acquisition of EUSA Pharma, a company specialising in the rare oncology diseases segment

2) 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)

SPECIALTY AND PRIMARY CARE DELIVERING IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION TO GROWTH

Pharmaceutical Revenue (1) Q1 2023 vs Q1 2022

million Euro

Key highlights

  • Strong double-digit growth in the quarter reflects solid underlying volume growth across all key markets and some phasing benefits, with exceptional Cough & Cold season and multiple price increases in Türkiye
  • Cardiovascular: lercanidipine franchise drives double-digit growth, thanks also to timing of shipments to international distributors and solid growth in most direct markets; broadly stable metoprolol and pitavastatin sales
  • Urology: growth driven by continued strong performance of Eligard®, with growth across most markets ahead of main competitors, robust silodosin sales and growth of local brands
  • Gastrointestinal: underlying growth of Procto-Glyvenol, probiotics and other gastrointestinal products
  • Cough & Cold: sales significantly above pre-pandemic levels, reflecting strong underlying growth of both RX and OTC products and benefit of restocking in channel in Russia

Q1 2023 COUGH & COLD SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE 2022 & PRE-COVID LEVELS

Cough & Cold (1) – Revenue trend by quarter 2019, 2022 and 2023 million Euro

4

  • Q1 2023 well-above pre-pandemic levels thanks to recovering trend from Q2 2022
  • Expect Q2-Q4 revenue to be broadly in line with 2022 levels, due to unwind of Q1 phasing benefits and RUB FX headwind

RARE DISEASES – STRONG MOMENTUM IN ALL KEY GROWTH DRIVERS

Revenue Q1 2023 vs Q1 2022

million Euro

Key highlights

  • Endocrinology: continued strong uptake of Isturisa® in US and EU markets behind recent reimbursement and doubledigit growth of Signifor®
  • Oncology: strong growth of both Qarziba® and Sylvant®, with some advanced shipments to international distributors
  • Metabolic: Continued strong volume growth of Panhematin® and Cystadrops® in US with relatively low erosion from recent generic entries in US

Pipeline opportunities on track:

  • o Phase II in Post-Bariatric Hypoglycemia on track to start Q3 following positive FDA feedback on development plan
  • o Qarziba® development plan toward US Biologics License Application (BLA) on track with on going activities in preparation for FDA Type C meeting
  • o REC 0559 phase II study enrolment proceeding to plan, data read out confirmed in Q2 2024
  • o Carbaglu® filed in China, preparing for possible launch in early 2024
