The first six months of 2024 continues to show strong momentum of the Group across both the Specialty & Primary Care and Rare Diseases business units, with consolidated net revenue of € 1,185.7 million, increasing by 13.5% compared to the first six months of the previous year; excluding revenue contribution from Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart® of € 57.3 million1 , growth on a like-for-like basis2 and at constant exchange rates is 10.2%, with an adverse currency impact of € 22.2 million (-2.1%), easing in the second quarter primarily due to the stabilization of the Turkish lira (which de-valued sharply in Q2 2023) and continues to be compensated by high price inflation in Türkiye.
Specialty & Primary Care revenue totalled € 754.8 million in the first six months of 2024, growing 12.8% or 7.6% on a like-for-like basis3 and at constant exchange rates (+2.2% excluding Türkiye), against a very robust first half of 2023. This reflects a strong performance across all therapeutic areas, particularly the Urology franchise thanks to the double-digit growth of Eligard® and the € 57.3 million contribution of Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart®. The first semester benefitted from strong start of sales in Türkiye, with phasing patterns similar to the first half of 2023, with however a milder flu season which particularly affected sales in France and Russia.

3 Pro-forma growth calculated excluding 1st half 2024 revenue of Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart®.

Rare Diseases revenue totaled € 399.3 million in the first half of 2024, up 15.9% as compared to the first half of 2023, both as reported and at CER, driven by growth of key franchises Oncology and Endocrinology. The Endocrinology franchise achieved net revenue of € 152.9 million, growing by 38.3% and reflecting the strong performance of Isturisa® and double-digit growth of Signifor®. The Oncology franchise achieved net revenue of € 117.2 million, growing by 22.7%, mainly driven by Qarziba® with continued growth also of Sylvant®. Both franchises continue to show substantial further growth potential. The Metabolic franchise achieved net revenue of € 129.2 million, a decrease of 6.6% due to generic competition in the US and EMEA on Carbaglu®.
The strong Revenue performance led to an increase in operating results compared to the same period of last year, with EBITDA at € 452.9 million, up by 11.5% compared to the first half of 2023 and 38.2% of net revenue (versus 38.9% for the first half of 2023), with strong revenue and operating leverage in part offset by a reduction of adjusted gross profit margin due to the consolidation of Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart® and adverse product/country mix.
Adjusted operating income was € 367.9 million for the first half of 2024, up 8.8% over the previous year, and 31.0% of net revenue versus 32.4% in the same period last year. Operating income was € 338.5 million in the first half of 2024, up 8.0% over the first half of 2023, absorbing gross margin-related non-cash charges of € 27.0 million (versus € 20.9 million in first half 2023), arising from the unwind of the fair value step up of the acquired rare oncology inventory. Non-recurring costs were € 2.4 million, reduced versus € 3.9 million in the first half of 2023.
Financial expenses were € 46.8 million, up by € 22.2 million compared to the previous year, including € 7.5 million in FX losses (mostly unrealized, compared to gains of 4.7 million in the first half of 2023) and € 1.0 million of net monetary losses from hyperinflation accounting (compared to a gain of € 0.9 million in the first half of 2023).
Adjusted net income was € 301.0 million, at 25.4% of revenue, up by 4.7% compared to the same period of 2023, with higher adjusted operating income partially offset by the increase in financial expenses and of the tax rate, following statutory tax rate increase in some countries. Net income was € 225.4 million, at 19.0% of revenue, decreased by 1.0% versus first half of 2023, with the higher tax rate and financing expenses offsetting the higher operating income.
In line with the prior year, results reflect the application of accounting standards for economies with hyperinflation to activities in Türkiye (IAS 29 and specific arrangements of IAS 21), the effect of which is positive € 3.8 million in terms of revenues and slightly dilutive on margins, with a reduction in EBITDA of -€ 6.2 million (vs € -7.2 million in first half 2023) and of -€ 8.6 million at level of Net Income (vs -€ 10.1 million in first half 2023).
The net financial position as of 30th June 2024 recorded net debt of € 1,469.4 million or leverage just below 1.8x EBITDA pro-forma4 , compared to net debt of € 1,579.4 million on 31st December 2023. During the period, treasury shares were purchased for € 7.7 million, net of proceeds from exercising stock options. Free cash flow, which is operating cash flow excluding financing items, milestones, dividends, and purchases of
treasury shares net of proceeds from the exercise of stock options, was € 256.6 million for the first half of 2024, a decrease of € 5.1 million versus the first half of 2023, with higher EBITDA offset by higher interests and income taxes paid.
Shareholders' equity was € 1,804.7 million.
4 Pro-forma considering the contribution of Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart® for the last twelve months.

Isturisa® U.S.: Recordati submitted the supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for the label extension of osilodrostat (Isturisa®) for Cushing's syndrome in June 2024, with a regulatory decision expected in mid-2025.
Dinutuximab beta (Qarziba®) U.S.: The Group had a positive meeting with the FDA defining a potential regulatory pathway for a Biologics License Application (BLA) in relapsed/refractory high-risk neuroblastoma, requiring further analysis and some additional clinical data. A meeting with the FDA to discuss the analysis of the data is expected in mid-2025.
REC-0559: Preliminary top-line data from the Phase 2 REC-0559 trial for the treatment of neurotrophic keratitis shows the primary endpoint of corneal healing was not met. The company will review options for REC-0559 with partner MimeTech.
The Group's pharmaceutical business includes two segments: Specialty and Primary Care and Rare Diseases. Business is conducted through subsidiaries in Europe, Russia, Türkiye, North Africa, the United States of America, Canada, Mexico, certain South American countries, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, China and South Korea and, in the rest of the world, through licensing agreements with leading pharmaceutical companies. Sales of specialty medicines represent 97.3% of the Group's total revenues.
As already mentioned, total consolidated net revenue for the Group in the first half of 2024 was € 1,185.7 million, compared to € 1,044.3 million in the first half of the previous year (+13.5% or +10.2% on a like-for-like basis5 and at constant exchange rates) and included net revenue from sales of Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart® of € 57.3 million. Growth remains strong across both segments of the Group, absorbing adverse impact of exchange rates of € 22.2 million, mainly related to Türkiye and more than offset by continued high price inflation. The impact of the exchange rate in the first half of the year is lower compared to the first quarter as the TRY remained substantially stable in the second quarter of 2024 while last year recorded a strong devaluation in the second quarter (which had significant effects on revenues, in application of IAS 21 in the event of hyperinflationary economies).

| Total | 786,364 | 699,860 | 86,504 | 12.4 |
The strong growth of Specialty and Primary Care in the first half of the year reflects the addition of sales of Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart® and solid volume growth ahead of relevant markets across most territories and therapeutics areas.
Urology sales increased +61.3% compared to the first half of 2023 and includes sales of Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart® of € 57.3 million, following the new sales distribution agreement with GSK signed in July 2023, with market transitions now completed in all countries at the end of June 2024. The growth of the franchise also reflects the ongoing strong performance of Eligard® (+16.5% compared to the first half of 2023), which has continued to gain share across most markets, the steady growth of Urorec® (silodosin), both in Russia and Türkiye (despite the FX headwind), and positive performance of Mictonorm in Türkiye.
Cardiovascular revenue is up 2.5% compared to the first half of 2023, with continued strong uptake of Reselip® in France and good growth of Livazo® (pitavastatin), mainly in Russia and Türkiye, Seloken® (metoprolol), mainly

in Poland, Romania and Bulgaria and Cardicor® in Italy, partly offset by a slight decline in Zanipress® mainly reflecting the exit of low margin tenders in Germany.
Gastrointestinal revenue increased +2.0% as compared to the same period of last year, with steady growth of Procto-Glyvenol® partly offset by a decrease in some local products.
Sales of seasonal flu products declined by 8.6% compared to the first half of 2023, mostly due to RUB and TRY FX headwinds. Results also reflect softer sales in France against a very strong comparable in the first half of 2023 and generally milder flu season across most markets.
Sales of pharmaceutical chemicals, which comprise active substances produced in the Campoverde plant in Italy for the international pharmaceutical industry, were € 31.5 million, growing by +1.9% compared to the same period of the previous year.
The performance of products sold directly in more than one market (corporate products) for the Specialty & Primary Care segment is shown in the table below, where the growth of sales of other corporate products is mainly driven by Reagila® (cariprazine), Tergynan® (ternidazole), Lomexin® (fenticonazole) and flavoxate and, in OTC products, by certain gastroenterological products like Procto-Glyvenol® (tribenoside) and Casenlax®.

This was mainly driven by the strong growth of the endocrinology products, increasing by 38.3%, thanks to continued patients' uptake for both Signifor® and Isturisa® across all regions and a positive net price evolution in the US.
Oncology products grew by +22.7%, driven by Qarziba® volume expansion across EMEA and international markets and growth of Sylvant® in US and in several European countries. Metabolic was down by 6.6%, mainly due to price erosion due to continued generic pressure although slightly recovering compared to the first quarter of the year.

Net revenue in Russia excludes sales of rare disease products.
The Group's pharmaceutical business in the US is dedicated to marketing products for the treatment of rare diseases. Sales were € 184.1 million in the first half of 2024, up by 22.0% (in local currency +22.1%) driven by the endocrinology products, including growth of both Isturisa® and Signifor® from increased volume and improved pricing, and by the oncology portfolio, driven by Sylvant®. Sales of metabolic products declined mainly due to price erosion from generic entrants' impact on Carbaglu® and some phasing of Panhematin®.
Sales of pharmaceutical specialties in Italy were € 176.3 million, increasing by 11.9% compared to the same period of the previous year, growing in both the Specialty and Primary Care and the Rare Diseases segments. Sales of Specialty and Primary Care account for € 159.9 million with an increase of 11.8% compared to the first half of 2023, thanks to Cardiovascular products (Cardicor®), the continued growth in OTC products, particularly Magnesio Supremo® and the addition of the new products distributed under the agreement with GSK (Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart®) which contributed € 13.0 million of sales in the first half of 2024. Sales in products for the treatment of rare diseases amounted to € 16.4 million, up by 12.6% driven by Isturisa® (whose reimbursement was approved in January 2023), Qarziba® and Sylvant®.
Sales in Spain accounted for € 109.4 million, up by 42.6% compared to the same period of previous year, increasing across both Specialty and Primary Care and Rare Diseases. The increase in the Specialty and Primary Care products reflects the strong contribution from sales of Avodart® and Duodart®, which contributed € 31.2 million of sales in the first half of 2024, and continued growth of key promoted products like Reagila® and

Eligard®. Sales of rare disease products were € 15.8 million, up by 21.3% due to the significant growth of the oncology products (particularly Qarziba®).
Sales in France, at € 90.3 million, were down by 5.6%. Sales in the Specialty and Primary Care segment were € 72.6 million, with a decrease of 4.2% mainly driven by softer performance of cough & cold products (against an exceptionally strong first half of 2023), partly offset by the continued strong performance of Reselip® and Eligard® on top of the addition of Avodart® and Combodart®. Sales of products for the treatment of rare diseases amounted to € 17.7 million, down by 10.9% due to a decrease in sales of Carbaglu® due to generics competition partially offset by growth of endocrinology products.
Sales in Germany were € 81.4 million, up by 4.3% compared to the same period of previous year, growing in both the Specialty and Primary Care and the Rare Diseases segments. The increase in the Specialty and Primary Care includes Eligard® in Urology and Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart® contribution, partially offset by a decrease for Ortoton®, Zanipress® and Claversal® due to the decision to no longer participate in exclusive lowmargin tenders for these products. Sales of products for the treatment of rare diseases amounted to € 24.6 million (+7.9%) mainly reflecting strong performance of Qarziba® and Isturisa®, partly offset by a decrease in the sales of Fotivda® and Carbaglu®.
Sales generated in Russia, Ukraine and in the countries within the Commonwealth of Independent States (C.I.S.) were € 71.8 million, up by 1.9% compared to the same period of the previous year despite an estimated negative exchange rate effect of € 8.1 million, mainly related to RUB. Sales in the Specialty and Primary Care in Russia were RUB 4,212.7 million in local currency, up by 4.2% over the same period of the previous year. The increase in sales in Russia is mainly driven by Livazo® in Cardiovascular products, by Procto-Glyvenol® in the Gastrointestinal products, Polydexa® in the Cough & Cold products and Urorec® in Urology products partially offset by the decline of Tergynan®. Sales of products for the treatment of rare diseases in this area amounted to € 13.0 million, up by 36.4% compared to the same period of previous year mainly due to the significant growth of the oncology products (particularly Qarziba®).
Sales in Türkiye were at € 70.0 million, up by 55.6% compared to the same period of previous year, driven by volume growth, with significant adverse currency exchange effect of € 15.6 million more than offset by continued high price inflation.

Net revenue amounted to € 1,185.7 million, up by € 141.4 million compared to the first half of 2023. For a detailed analysis, please refer to the previous chapter "Review of Operations".
Gross profit was € 801.8 million, 67.6% of revenue, increasing by 9.5% compared to the first half of 2023. Net of the impact of the € 27.0 million arising from the application of IFRS 3 on sales of residual inventory acquired with EUSA Pharma, adjusted gross profit was € 828.8 million, up by 10.0%, with margin on sales lower than previous year mainly due to consolidation of Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart® (which results in lower gross profit margin but is accretive at the EBITDA level due to high synergies with the legacy urology business) and adverse product/country mix.

Selling expenses were € 247.7 million, an increase of 5.9% compared to the same period of the previous year, with a 20.9% ratio to revenue, improved as compared to 22.4% in the first half of 2023 thanks to the positive revenue performance and the above-mentioned operating leverage from Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart® integration into the portfolio.
Research and development expenses were € 139.1 million, an increase of 16.9% compared to those in the first half of the previous year and include € 8.2 million of amortization of intangible fixed assets for the products acquired from GSK in the third quarter 2023.
General and administrative expenses increased by 19.1% owing to the strengthening of the general coordination structure to support the growth of the business and due to increased investment in systems.
Other income and expenses amounted to € 2.7 million (compared to € 4.2 million in the first half of 2023). Among others, they include a write down of € 2.0 million related to Ledaga® distribution licence, following an amendment of the underlying agreement for the return of the rights of the Japanese market, and € 2.5 million write down of the milestone paid to the operational partner for the development of the product REC 0559 for the treatment of neurotrophic keratitis, as the preliminary top-line data from the phase II trial shows the primary endpoint of corneal healing was not met. These impacts have been more than offset by the reimbursement of the contributions paid by our Portuguese branch (Jaba Recordati) to the company Tecnophage between 2018- 2023, for the development of a new product for diabetic foot treatment. This reimbursement was made following the withdrawal by our Portuguese affiliate waiving its patent ownership share.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT 30TH JUNE 2024
The Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the Recordati group for the period ended 30th June 2024 were prepared by Recordati Industria Chimica e Farmaceutica S.p.A. (the "Company" or the "Parent Company"), with headquarters at Via Matteo Civitali no. 1 in Milan, Italy, 20148, in a summarized format in compliance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" and were approved by the Board of Directors' meeting on 30th July 2024, which authorized its public disclosure.
These consolidated condensed financial statements were subject to a limited scope audit by EY S.p.A. The figures at 31st December 2023 were audited by the same company, which issued its report on 28th March 2024.
These consolidated condensed financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis because the Directors verified the non-existence of indicators of a financial, operational or other nature which could signal critical issues regarding the Group's ability to meet its obligations in the foreseeable future and, in particular, in the next twelve months.
Details regarding the accounting standards adopted by the Group are specified in Note 2.
The consolidated condensed financial statements at 30th June 2024 comprise those of the Parent Company and all its subsidiaries.
The scope of consolidation increased in the first half of 2024 to include the establishment of Recordati Rare Diseases MENA RHQ in Saudi Arabia and of Recordati Argentina S.r.l. in Argentina. In addition, EUSA Pharma (UK) Ltd. changed its name to Recordati UK LTD.
The companies included in the scope of consolidation, their percentage of ownership and a description of their activity are set out in Note 27.
These financial statements are presented in euro (€), rounded to thousands of euro, except where indicated otherwise.
These consolidated condensed financial statements were prepared in a summarized format in compliance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". These financial statements do not include the full information required for the annual financial statements and must therefore be read together with the annual report for the full year ended 31st December 2023, prepared in accordance with the IFRSs issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union pursuant to Regulation no. 1606/2002.
The preparation of the interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements. If in the future, these estimates and assumptions, which are based on management's best judgement, should deviate from the actual circumstances, these will be modified in relation to the circumstances. In making the estimates and assumptions related to the preparation of these interim financial statements, the impacts, even potential

ones, deriving from the Russia-Ukraine crisis were taken into account. The Group operates on the Russian market, in compliance with current regulations, with revenue in the first half of 2024 totalling 4.7% of the Group's total revenue, as well as on the Ukrainian market, with revenue in the first quarter of 2024 accounting for 0.7% of the total. The Group continues to monitor the conflict, as well as any geopolitical developments and related consequences on corporate strategies, to adopt mechanisms to protect its competitive position, investments, corporate performance, and resources. The trend of the business in Russia is positive from the demand point of view of all the main products and there is no indication that the local distributors or the Russian subsidiary will have difficulties paying the Group's affiliates to purchase products.
In light of these interim accounts, also in consideration of the achievement of the expected results both at Group level and at the level of individual Cash Generating Units (CGUs) and the relevant sector, no elements were currently identified that could have a significant impact on figures in the financial statements. Valuation exercises, in particular complex calculations such as those required to identify impairment loss, are carried out in depth only for the preparation of the year-end consolidated financial statements, except when there are impairment loss indicators, which would require an immediate estimate of the loss.
In relation to financial instruments measured at fair value, IFRS 13 requires the classification of these instruments according to the standard's hierarchy levels, which reflect the significance of the inputs used in establishing the fair value. The following levels are used:
Disclosure of the net financial position is included in the section "Management Review" of this Report.
The accounting standards used in the preparation of the consolidated condensed financial statements were the same as those used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements at 31st December 2023, except for the new standards and amendments that were adopted with effect from 1st January 2024. The Group did not adopt any new standard, interpretation or amendment in advance that was issued but not yet in force.
The accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the last annual financial statements, including amendments to IAS 12 introduced in response to the OECD's BEPS Pillar Two rules.
The Pillar Two legislation has been substantially adopted in some of the jurisdictions in which the Group operates. The rules entered into force for the financial year that began on 1st January 2024. As the Group is within the scope of application for Pillar Two, an evaluation was made to assess the impact resulting from the new rules, bearing in mind the changes introduced by IAS 12 "Income taxes", in this area.
This evaluation was based on the last available information, including the tax returns, the country reports and latest financial information for 2023 and the rules currently in place in the various countries in which the Group has a presence.
The evaluations with reference to the final figures from 2023 for each jurisdiction and best interpretation of the OECD guideline documents show that all the Group countries exceed the "transitional safe harbours" apart from Italy, Ireland, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates. The preliminary effects have been recognized for these countries, based on the final figures from 2023, with total provisions in the first half

of 2024 of € 2.2 million to increase the "Income taxes" in the income statement and the "Tax liabilities" in the liabilities of the balance sheet. The effects for the full year in 2024 will be determined based on the final figures for that year when preparing the annual consolidated financial statements. Since this assessment is based on the final figures from 2023, the effective impact that the Pillar Two rules will have on the Group's exposure to Pillar Two taxes for the current year could undergo changes, albeit non-material ones, especially considering possible amendments to the tax laws in certain jurisdictions mentioned above. The Group continues to monitor the effective implementation of the legislation on Pillar Two income taxes assessing its impact on future financial results.
The Group controls companies based in Türkiye and, starting from the first half of 2024, in Argentina, countries which have now reached a situation in which the presence of hyperinflation is the consensus, in line with the international accounting standards. As of 1st January 2022 for Türkiye and from 22nd April 2024, the relevant standard IAS 29 has been applied, "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies", the effects of which, exclusively related to Turkey considering that the Argentinian company is not operational yet, are also seen in the Group's consolidated results for the six-month period ended 30th June 2024. In particular, in accordance with the standard, the restatement of balance sheet values as a whole requires application of specific procedures and an evaluation process. For the income statement, all items were restated applying the change in the general level of prices in effect at the date on which the revenue and costs were initially recorded in the financial statements at the reporting date. For the purpose of converting the income statement thus restated into euro, the exact exchange rate at 30th June 2024 was applied consistently instead of the average exchange rate for the period. With regard to the balance sheet, the cash elements have not been restated, as they were already expressed in the unit of measurement as at the closing date of the period. Non-cash assets and liabilities were instead revalued from the date on which the assets and liabilities were initially recognised until the end of the period.
Several amendments applied for the first time in 2024 but had no impact on the Group's consolidated condensed interim financial statements.
In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, to clarify the characteristics of reverse factoring contracts and to require more information to be disclosed about such arrangements. The disclosure requirements included in the amendments aim to assist users of financial statements to understand the effects of reverse factoring arrangements on an entity's liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk.
The transition requirements state that an entity does not have to include the disclosure in the interim reports relating to the first year of application of the amendments.
In September 2022, the IASB issued an amendment to IFRS 16 to specify the requirements that a sellerlessee uses when measuring the lease liabilities arising from a sale & leaseback transaction, to ensure that the seller-lessee does not recognize any gain or loss that relates to the right of use its retains.
In January 2020 and October 2022, the IASB published amendments to sections 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current.
The amendments clarify:

that only if a derivative implicit in an exchangeable liability is a capital instrument itself does the maturity of the liability have no impact on its classification.
Furthermore, a requirement was introduced that requires a disclosure to be made when a liability arising from a loan contract is classified as non-current and the entity's right to defer settlement is subject to meeting covenants within twelve months.
The Group's operations and main revenue streams are those described in the section on accounting standards in the last annual financial statements. The Group's revenue is derived from contracts with customers and is not subject to significant seasonal fluctuations, with the exception of those in the cough and cold therapeutic area.
During the first half of 2024, net revenue amounted to € 1,185.7 million, up compared to the € 1,044.3 million in the same period during 2023. It included € 57.3 million for sales of Avodart® and Combodart®/Duodart®, where the sales and distribution rights were acquired from GSK during the third quarter of 2023.
Net revenue can be broken down as follows:
| Total net revenue | 1,185,667 | 1,044,272 | 141,395 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Various revenue | 2,798 | 1,420 | 1,378 |
| Upfront payments | 590 | 783 | (193) |
| Royalties | 3,941 | 4,442 | (501) |

| € (thousands) | First half 2024 | First half 2023 | Changes 2024/2023 |
The effect of the application of IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" to activities in Türkiye, taking account of the provisions of IAS 21 "Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates", had a positive effect of € 3.8 million on net revenue.
In the tables below, net revenue is disaggregated by product or product class and by geographic area by country. The tables also include a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue with the Group's reportable segments.

Total operating expenses for the first half of 2024 amounted to € 847.1 million, up compared to the € 730.8 million for the corresponding period the previous year, and are classified by function as follows:
| € (thousands) | First half 2024 | First half 2023 | Changes 2024/2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost of sales | 383,881 | 311,954 | 71,927 |
| Selling expenses | 247,703 | 233,794 | 13,909 |
| Research and development expenses | 139,135 | 119,043 | 20,092 |
| General and administrative expenses | 73,682 | 61,841 | 11,841 |

| Total operating expenses | 847,133 | 730,828 | 116,305 |
The cost of sales totalled € 383.9million, up compared to the first half of 2023 and representing 32.4% of revenue, higher than the 29.9% in the first half of 2023. This is attributable to the higher cost to sell products acquired from GSK, the adverse product/country mix and also the revaluation, in accordance with accounting standard IFRS 3 for the EUSA Pharma inventories acquired. This impacted negatively on the income statement, calculated on the basis of the units sold in the period, amounting to € 27.0 million, compared to € 20.9 million in the first half of 2023. The effect of the application of IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" and several provisions of IAS 21 "Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates" to activities in Türkiye was € 10.2 million, substantially in line with first half of 2023.
Selling expenses increased by € 13.9 million compared to the same period the previous year, at 20.9% of revenue, improving on the 22.4% in the first half of 2023 thanks to the positive revenue performance (including the contribution from the new products) and the operations implemented during recent years to make the sales structure in Specialty & Primary Care business more efficient.
Research and development expenses were at € 139.1 million, up by 16.9% compared to the first half of last year and include € 8.2 million from the amortisation of the intangible assets acquired from GSK in the third quarter of 2023.
General and administrative expenses increased by 19.1% owing to the strengthening of the general coordination structure and to the investments in progress to implement new information systems in support of the Group's growth.
The following table summarizes the more significant components of "Other net (income)/expenses".
| € (thousands) | First half 2024 | First half 2023 | Changes 2024/2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-recurring costs: | |||
| - restructuring | 1,591 | 2,772 | (1,181) |
| - emergency in Ukraine and earthquake in Türkiye and Syria |
5 | 602 | (597) |
| - EUSA Pharma acquisition | 831 | 545 | 286 |
| Total non-recurring costs | 2,427 | 3,919 | (1,492) |
| Write-downs of intangible assets | 4,546 | 0 | 4,546 |
| Other | (4,241) | 277 | (4,518) |
| Other net (income)/expenses | 2,732 | 4,196 | (1,464) |
The write-downs of intangible assets refer to the product Ledaga® (€ 2.0 million) following the return of distribution rights for Japan and to the milestone paid to the operational partner for the development of

the product REC 0559 for the treatment of neurotrophic keratitis (€ 2.5 million), as the preliminary top-line data from the phase II trial shows the primary endpoint of corneal healing was not met.
The item "Other" mainly includes income from reimbursement of the contributions paid by our Portuguese branch (Jaba Recordati) to the company Tecnophage between 2018-2023, for the development of a new product for diabetic foot treatment. This reimbursement was made following the withdrawal by our Portuguese affiliate waiving its patent ownership share.
Total operating expenses are broken down by nature as follows:
| € (thousands) | First half 2024 |
First half 2023 | Changes 2024/2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material consumption | 280,964 | 220,030 | 60,934 |
| Payroll costs | 203,219 | 181,325 | 21,894 |
| Other employee costs | 31,611 | 28,003 | 3,608 |
| Variable sales expenses | 49,553 | 51,146 | (1,593) |
| Depreciation, amortization and write-downs | 85,010 | 67,932 | 17,078 |
| Utilities and consumables | 28,029 | 28,710 | (681) |
| Other expenses | 168,747 | 153,682 | 15,065 |
| Total operating expenses | 847,133 | 730,828 | 116,305 |
The proportion of raw material consumption to net revenue was 23.7%, up compared to the 21.1% during the same period in 2023, mainly as a result of the integration of Avodart®® and Combodart®/Duodart®.
The item "Payroll costs" includes € 2.6 million in charges for stock option plans, down by € 1.3 million compared to the same period of the previous year as a result of introducing an alternative incentive plan. In 2023, the Parent Company adopted a new long-term incentive plan called "2023-2025 Performance Shares Plan", benefiting certain Group employees (see Note 16), the cost of which pertaining to the period, determined based on IFRS 2, amounted to € 3.5 million.
Starting in 2019, some Group employees were designated as beneficiaries of an incentive plan with a 5 year vesting period, granted and entirely funded by Rossini Luxembourg S.à r.l., an indirect shareholder of Recordati S.p.A., and will benefit from a return at the expiry of the plan term if they have met a number of performance conditions. The measurement according to the accounting standard IFRS 2 led to an expense in the first half 2024 income statement of € 0.7 million, which also includes the incentive plan granted by Rossini Luxembourg S.à r.l. to the Chief Executive Officer of the Recordati Group.
Amortisations amounted to € 80.5 million, of which € 64.9 million related to intangible assets, up by € 10.8 million over the first half of the previous year, attributable mostly to the acquisition of distribution rights for Avodart® (dutasteride) and Combodart®/Duodart® (dutasteride/tamsulosin) from GSK (€ 8.2 million), and € 15.6 million relating to property, plant and equipment, up by € 1.7 million over the same period the previous year.
"Other expenses" include non-cash charges for € 27.0 million in the first half 2024, arising from the release of the purchase price allocation of EUSA Pharma to the gross margin of acquired inventories pursuant to IFRS 3, an increase of € 6.1 million in respect to the same period of the previous year.
In the first half of 2024 and same period in 2023, the balance of financing items was negative for € 46.8 million and € 24.6 million, respectively.
The main balance items are summarized in the table below.
| € (thousands) | First half 2024 |

| Total net financial (income)/expenses | 46,787 | 24,574 | 22,213 |
The increase in the interest expense on loans for € 9.6 million was mainly due to new debt undertaken in the second quarter of 2023 for a total of € 450 million, of which € 350 million already disbursed and mainly linked to the agreement with GSK, as well as the progressive overall increase in interest rates. Note number 17 contains the details of the loan contracts.
Net exchange losses, mostly unrealized, amounted to € 7.5 million and were mainly attributable to the performance of the US dollar and the Russian rouble, whereas during the first half of 2023, net exchange gains were recorded for € 4.7 million.
Hyperinflation had a negative impact for € 1.0 million, whereas this had been positive for € 0.9 million in the first half of 2023.
Income taxes amounted to € 66.4 million and include income taxes levied on all consolidated companies as well as the Italian regional tax on production (IRAP) which is levied on all Italian companies. The balance contains a provision of € 2.2 million for the preliminary effects arising from application of Pillar Two rules in the tax jurisdictions of Italy, Ireland, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates, determined as described in more detail in Note 2.
In 2019, the Parent Company signed an advance agreement with the Italian Tax Authority to define the calculation methods and criteria for a discount on taxable income connected with the direct use of intangible assets (co-called "Patent box") for the 2015 to 2019 tax years. As in the previous fiscal year, again in tax year 2024, Recordati S.p.A. took part in the reverse charge regime with reference to the same assets as in 2015-2019 (with the exception of expired patents and brands excluded in the meantime from the objective scope of subsidy). The Company, operating in line with the previous years, determined the tax benefit pertaining to the first half of 2024, recognized to reduce the tax amounts, as € 5.4 million.

(€ 2.0 million), Recordati Rare Diseases Japan (€ 1.5 million) and Recordati Polska (€ 1.1 million) for building rentals based on the rules of accounting standard IFRS 16.

Increases for the period mainly included:
The impairment refers to the product Ledaga® (€ 2.0 million) following the return of the product's distribution rights in Japan and to the milestone paid to the operational partner for the development of the product REC 0559 for the treatment of neurotrophic keratitis (€ 2.5 million), as the preliminary top-line data from the phase II trial shows the primary endpoint of corneal healing was not met.
"Other changes" includes the conversion into euro of the intangible assets held and recognised in different currencies, for a net decrease of € 20.0 million compared to 31st December 2023, primarily due to the devaluation of the Swiss franc.
Goodwill at 30th March 2024 and 31st December 2023 amounted to € 790.0 million and € 778.3 million respectively and underwent changes following the application of IAS 29 "Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies" and the effect of the change in foreign exchange rates in terms of IAS 21 "Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates":

Total net goodwill at 30th June 2024, of € 790.0 million, was divided between the two CGU as follows:
In compliance with the accounting standards, goodwill is not systematically amortized. Instead, it is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if specific events or circumstances indicate a possible loss of value.
During the period no events or circumstances arose to indicate possible value loss related to any of the above-mentioned items. The Group's results, were sharply up over the same period of the previous year and in line with the forecasts. From an outlook perspective, the analysis carried out by comparing data at 30th June 2024 in relation to the expected flows for each cash generating unit (CGU) to see whether these events and their consequences could reveal possible impairment indicators found no critical aspects to report, including in light of the significant headroom identified in the impairment tests performed at the end of financial year 2023.
At 30th June 2024, these amounted to € 20.7 million, down by € 0.8 million compared to 31st December 2023.
The main investment refers to the U.K. company PureTech Health plc, specializing in investments in startup companies dedicated to innovative therapies, medical devices and new research technologies. Starting from 19th June 2015, the shares of the Company were admitted for trading on the London Stock Exchange. At 30th June 2024, the total fair value of the 9,554,140 shares held was € 20.6 million. The value of the investment was consequently adjusted to the stock exchange value and fell by € 0.7 million, compared to 31st December 2023, with a counter-item accounted for, net of the related tax effect, in the statement of gains and losses recognized in shareholders' equity.
This item also includes € 0.1 million regarding an investment made during 2012 in Erytech Pharma S.A., a listed French biopharmaceutical company, focused on developing new therapies for rare oncological pathologies and orphan diseases. The investment, originally structured as a non-interest-bearing loan, was converted into 431,034 company shares in May 2013. In June 2023, the company announced the merger with Pherecydes Pharma S.A., changing its name to Phaxiam Therapeutics S.A. The new shares were admitted for listing on the regulated French market starting from 29th June 2023. The value of the investment, currently represented by 43,103 shares, was adjusted to the stock exchange value and decreased by € 0.1 million compared to 31st December 2023, with a counter-item accounted for, net of the related tax effect, in the statement of gains and losses recognized in equity.

At 30th June 2024, this item amounted to € 15.2 million, increasing by € 2.7 million compared to 31st December 2023, and includes the discounted receivable for € 3.8 million in respect of ARS Pharmaceuticals following the signing of the agreement in February 2023 for the return of the rights on ARS-1, previously recognised under intangible assets.
At 30th June 2024, deferred tax assets amounted to € 88.9 million, up by € 12.2 million compared to 31st December 2023, mainly due to the temporary differences arising from the elimination of unrealised projects on intercompany sales. The tax effect of comprehensive income statement components is € 1.3 million, as well as at 31st December 2023.
Inventories amounted to € 405.9 million, down by € 1.1 million compared to 31st December 2023 which also took into account the increase of € 27.0 million, arising from the allocation of the purchase price for EUSA Pharma to the gross margin of acquired inventories.
Trade receivables amounted to € 492.4 million at 30th June 2024, up by € 47.2 million compared to 31st December 2023, due to higher revenue. The balance is net of the provision for impairments for € 16.6 million, increasing by € 0.9 million compared to 31st December 2023, but in line with the performance of gross receivables. This item is therefore considered consistent with positions which, for the particular nature of the customers or the destination markets, may be difficult to collect. The average number of collection days was 67, compared to 64 at the end of June 2023.
Other receivables amounted to € 99.8 million, in line with the balance at 31st December 2023, and mainly consisted of tax receivables of € 59.4 million. This item includes € 7.1 million relating to the short-term discounted receivable in respect of ARS Pharmaceuticals, following the signing of the agreement in February 2023 for the return of the rights on ARS-1, previously recognised under intangible assets.
Other current assets were at € 29.4 million and refer mainly to prepaid expenses.
At 30th June 2024, the value of derivative instruments included under this item amounted to € 16.9 million.
The measurement at market (fair value) of cross currency swaps entered into by the Parent Company to hedge the US\$ 75 million loan issued on 30th September 2014 gave rise to a € 7.7 million asset at 30th June 2024. This amount represents the potential benefit of a lower value in euro of the future dollar denominated principal and interest flows, in view of the revaluation of the foreign currency with respect to the moment in which the loan and hedging instruments were negotiated. In particular, the change in fair value of the derivative hedging the US\$ 50 million tranche of the loan, provided by Mediobanca, was positive for € 4.5 million, and that hedging the US\$ 25 million tranche of the loan, provided by UniCredit, yielded a € 3.2 million positive change.
The measurement at market (fair) value of the interest rate swaps hedging a number of loans gave rise to total assets of € 6.1 million, representing the opportunity of paying in the future, for the term of the loans,

the agreed interest rates rather than the variable rates currently expected. The amount relates to the interest rate swaps entered into by the Parent Company to hedge the interest rates on loans with lender consortia in 2023 (€ 1.5 million) and in 2022 (€ 4.6 million).
At 30th June 2024, other hedging transactions were in place on foreign currency positions, the measurement of which was positive for € 3.1 million against an essentially nil balance at 31st December 2023, with the difference recognized to the income statement and offsetting the exchange losses arising from the valuation of the underlying positions at current exchange rates.
The fair value of these hedging derivatives is measured at level 2 of the hierarchy provided for in the IFRS 13 accounting standard. The fair value is equal to the current value of the estimated future cash flows. Estimates of future floating-rate cash flows are based on quoted swap rates futures prices and interbank borrowing rates. Estimated cash flows are discounted using a yield curve which reflects the relevant benchmark interbank rate used by market participants for pricing interest rate swaps.
At 30th June 2024, the balance of this item amounted to € 200.6 million, decreasing by € 21.2 million on 31st December 2023, and are mainly denominated in euro, US dollars, pounds sterling and comprise current account deposits and short-term time deposits.
Shareholders' Equity at 30th June 2024 was € 1,804.7 million, an increase of € 118.3 million compared to that at 31st December 2023 for the following reasons:
At 30th June 2024, the Company has three stock option plans benefiting certain Group employees: the 2014- 2018 plan with the grant on 13th April 2016, the 2018-2022 plan, with the grant of 3rd August 2018, and the 2021-2023 plan with the grants of 6th May 2021, 1st December 2021 and 24th February 2022. The strike price for the options is the average of the Parent Company's listed share price during the 30 days prior to the grant date. The options are vested over a period of five years, over four tranches starting from the second year, in the case of the less recent grants and three years for the 2021 and 2022 grants, payable in a single

tranche. They expire if they are not exercised within the eighth year after the grant date. Options cannot be exercised if the employee leaves the Company before they are vested. Over the course of the first six months of 2023, the 2021-2023 plan was revoked, limited to the allocation of options envisaged for 2023 pursuant to said plan, without prejudice, therefore, to the validity and effectiveness of the plan for the allocation of options carried out in 2021 and 2022.

Stock options outstanding at 30th June 2024 are detailed in the following table:
At 30th June 2024, 2,882,863 treasury shares were held in the portfolio, a decrease of 236,181 shares compared to 31st December 2023. The change was due to the disposal of 992,250 shares for an amount of € 29.8 million to enable the options attributed to employees as part of the stock option plans to be exercised and to the purchase of 756,069 shares for an amount of € 37.6 million. The total cost to purchase the treasury shares in the portfolio was € 124.4 million, with an average unit price of € 43.14.
Starting in 2019, some Group employees were designated as beneficiaries of an incentive plan with a 5 year vesting period, granted and entirely funded by Rossini Luxembourg S.à r.l., an indirect shareholder of Recordati S.p.A., and will benefit from a return at the expiry of the plan term if they have met a number of performance conditions. The measurement according to the accounting standard IFRS 2 led to an expense in the first half 2024 income statement of € 0.7 million, which also includes the incentive plan granted by Rossini Luxembourg S.à r.l. to the Chief Executive Officer of the Recordati Group.
In the first half of 2023, the Parent Company adopted a new long-term incentive plan called "2023-2025 Performance Shares Plan", benefiting certain Group employees. The plan provides for three grants of rights to receive Company shares free of charge, one for each year covered. After a vesting period of three years from the grant, the recipients will receive shares of the Parent Company up to an amount of 175% of the amount originally established, based on the trend of certain performance indicators. However, these rights will expire if the employee leaves the Company before they are vested. The first two grants were made on 27th June 2023 for 440,485 rights and on 9th May 2024 for 437,634 rights.
The total cost pertaining the period, determined based on IFRS 2, amounted to € 3.5 million.
At 30th June 2024, loans amounted to € 1,627.4 million, decreasing by a net € 81.6 million compared to 31st December 2023.
This item includes the liabilities deriving from the application of the accounting standard IFRS 16, representing the obligation to make the payments provided for in the existing leases for a total amount of € 39.0 million, a net decrease of € 1.2 million compared to 31st December 2023.

During the first half of 2024, loan liabilities increased by € 152.3 million: € 144.6 million from opening new bank loans and € 7.7 million relating to new lease contracts. In the same period, repayments totalled € 233.2 million, of which € 227.2 were for bank loan repayments and € 6.0 million for lease liabilities.
During the period, the loan of € 400.0 million, initially agreed with Mediobanca, Natixis and Unicredit in 2019 and subsequently syndicated involving a pool of Italian and international banks, matured and was paid off.
The effect of the translation of loans in foreign currencies and of expenses incurred to place the loans, together with the early termination of a number of leases, determined a total net decrease of € 0.7 million compared to 31st December 2023.
The main loans outstanding are:
a) Loan for € 70.0 million taken out by the Parent Company on 1st March 2024 with HSBC Continental Europe at a variable interest rate at the six-month Euribor (with a zero floor), plus a variable spread based on a step up/step down mechanism on changes in the Leverage Ratio, and a five-year term with semi-annual repayment of the principal starting 31st August 2025, and final instalment on 29th February 2029.
The loan includes covenants which, if not observed, could lead to a request for immediate repayment. The financial covenants, measured semi-annually, are the following:
These parameters are being observed.
b) Loan for 72.0 million Swiss francs taken out on 26th February 2024 by the subsidiary Recordati AG with UBS Switzerland AG and disbursed the next month in April, at a fixed interest rate, with quarterly interest payments and semi-annual repayment of principal starting December 2024 through to April 2029. The loan, guaranteed by the Parent Company, includes covenants which, if not observed, could lead to a request for immediate repayment.

These parameters are being observed.
c) Loan for a total of € 400.0 million taken out on 16th May 2023 by Recordati S.p.A. with a consortium of eight national and international lenders including Mediobanca as the coordinating institution, for an individual portion of € 50.0 million. The loan is formed of two independent loans for € 300.0 million and € 100.0 million respectively, both at a variable interest rate equal to the six-month Euribor (with a zero floor) plus a variable spread based on a step-up/step-down mechanism on changes in the Leverage Ratio, with an interest payment every six months and a five-year term. The loan for a higher amount, disbursed on 14th June 2023, will be repaid in semi-annual instalments of increasing value starting from April 2024 and with settlement in May 2028. It was partially hedged with interest rate swaps, qualifying as cash flow hedge, effectively converting the hedged portion to a fixed interest rate. At 30th June 2024, the fair value of the derivatives was measured as a positive € 1.5 million, which was recognized directly as an increase in equity and as an increase in the asset item "Derivative instruments measured at fair value" (see Note 14); in other cases, this was measured as a negative for a total amount of € 0.2 million, recognized directly as a decrease in equity and as an increase in the liability item "Derivative instruments

measured at fair value" (see Note 21). The loan for € 100.0 million consists of a Capex Line that can be used to fund specific investments, guaranteed for 18 months and yet to be used, with semi-annual repayments on a straight-line basis starting from October 2025 for the principal half and May 2028 for the remaining half.
The loan includes covenants which, if not met, could lead to a request for immediate repayment of the loan.
The financial covenants, measured quarterly, are the following:

The loan includes ESG-linked parameters as from 2024, which if complied with, will reduce the interest rate applied, or an increase if these are not achieved.
d) Loan for € 50.0 million negotiated by the Parent Company in April 2023 with Cassa Depositi e Prestiti. The terms of the loan provide for a variable interest rate equal to the six-month Euribor (with a zero floor) plus a variable spread, an interest payment every 6 months and a ten-year term with semi-annual repayments on a straight-line basis starting from October 2025 for 70% of the principal and repayment in April 2033 for the remaining 30%. The disbursement took place on 18th May 2023.

e) Bond issued by the parent company on 12th September 2022 for € 75.0 million, placed privately and fully with companies in the Prudential group. The main terms provide for a fixed rate with interest payments every six months and a term of twelve years, with repayment of the principal in five annual instalments starting in September 2030 and expiring on 12th September 2034. The transaction, aimed at continuing to raise medium- to long-term funds to further support the Group's growth, has facilitated access to favourable market conditions. It has standard market characteristics typical of the US private placement market and is substantially in line with the bond issued by the Parent Company in 2017.

f) Loan for a total of € 800.0 million negotiated by Recordati S.p.A. in two different stages during 2022, disbursed by a consortium of national and international lenders. The terms of the loan provide for a variable interest rate at the six-month Euribor (with a zero floor) plus a variable spread based on a step up/step down mechanism on changes in the Leverage Ratio, and a five-year term with semi-annual repayment of the principal starting 31st March 2023, with the final instalment on 3rd February 2027. The outstanding debt at 30th June 2024 amounted to € 636.7 million. From July 2022, the loan was partially and progressively hedged with an interest rate swap, qualifying as a cash flow hedge, effectively converting the hedged portion to a fixed interest rate. At 30th June
2024, the fair value of the derivatives was measured as a positive € 4.6 million, which was recognized directly as an increase in equity and as an increase in the asset item "Derivative instruments measured at fair value" (see Note 14); in other cases, it was substantially neutral and recognized directly as a decrease in equity and as an increase in the liability item "Derivative instruments measured at fair value" (see Note 21).

The balance at 30th June 2024 amounted to € 21.3 million, slightly up on 31st December 2023, and reflects

the Group's liability towards its employees determined in accordance with IAS 19.
At 30th June 2024, deferred tax liabilities amounted to € 135.2 million, down by € 9.0 million compared to 31st December 2023. The tax effect of comprehensive income statement components is € 1.7 million (€ 0.5 million at 31st December 2023).
Trade payables at € 263.6 million, included the accrual for invoices to be received.
Other liabilities amounted to € 178.9 million, increasing by € 4.5 million compared to 31st December 2023, and mainly include:
Tax liabilities amounted to € 93.6 million, increasing by € 26.5 million compared to 31st December 2023.
Other current liabilities amounted to € 4.9 million, down by € 0.4 million compared to 31st December 2023. An amount of € 2.3 million is attributable to the adoption of the IFRS 15 accounting principle, based on which some deferred revenue is recognized in the income statement in variable instalments based on the fulfilment of the conditions for revenue recognition.
The provisions for risks and charges amounted to € 15.9 million, down by € 0.7 million compared to 31st December 2023.
At 30th June 2024, the value of derivative instruments included under this item amounted to € 5.0 million.
In October 2019, Recordati S.p.A. entered into forward exchange contracts to hedge the intercompany loan granted to Recordati AG for an amount of 228.9 million Swiss francs. The measurement of the derivative at 30th June 2024 on the outstanding loan of 36.6 million Swiss francs was a negative for € 4.8 million compared to the € 12.9 million at 31st December 2023, with the difference recognized in the income statement, offsetting the exchange losses determined by the valuation of the underlying loan at current exchange rates.
The measurement at market (fair) value at 30th June 2024 of the interest rate swaps hedging a number of loans gave rise to a total € 0.2 million liability, which represents the unrealized need of paying in the future, for the term of the loans, the variable rates currently expected instead of the rates agreed. The amount

relates to the interest rate swaps entered into by the Parent Company to hedge the interest rates on loans with lender consortia in 2023 (€ 0.2 million) and in 2022 (substantially neutral).
At 30th June 2024, other hedging transactions were in place on foreign currency positions, the measurement of which was essentially nil compared to € 3.9 million at 31st December 2023, with the difference recognized to the income statement and offsetting the exchange losses arising from the valuation of the underlying positions at current exchange rates.
The fair value of these hedging derivatives is measured at level 2 of the hierarchy provided for in the accounting standard IFRS 13 (see note 2). The fair value is equal to the current value of the estimated future cash flows. Estimates of future floating-rate cash flows are based on quoted swap rates futures prices and interbank borrowing rates. Estimated cash flows are discounted using a yield curve which reflects the relevant benchmark interbank rate used by market participants for pricing interest rate swaps.
Short-term debts to banks and other lenders at 30th June 2024 were € 50.3 million and comprise temporary use of short-term credit lines, overdrafts of a number of foreign associates and interest due on existing loans.
On 1st March 2024, the Parent Company renewed the revolving credit line with UniCredit, with a maximum term of 12 months and for a maximum amount of € 24 million. This credit line, which at 30th June 2024 was used for € 10.0 million, is a short-term financing instrument providing financial flexibility, combining irrevocability with variability of use based on specific financial requirements. The agreement signed requires compliance with financial covenants similar to those for other existing loans (see note n. 17) and these parameters are being observed.
The financial information reported by line of business, in compliance with IFRS 8 – Operating Segments, is prepared using the same accounting principles used for the preparation and disclosure of the Group's consolidated financial statements.

* Includes pharmaceutical chemical operations. ** Amounts not allocated refer to the items other equity investments and securities, cash and cash equivalents, loans, derivative instruments and short-term debts to banks and other lenders.
The pharmaceutical chemical business is considered part of the Specialty and Primary Care segment as it is mainly engaged in the production of active ingredients for finished pharmaceutical products, both from a strategic and organizational point of view.
The Parent Company and some subsidiaries are parties to minor legal actions and disputes, the outcomes of which are not expected to result in any liability. The potential liabilities that can currently be measured are not for significant amounts. Some license agreements require the payment of future milestones as certain conditions—whose fulfilment is as yet uncertain—occur, with the consequence that the contractually required payments, estimated at around € 33 million, are merely potential at the moment.
At 30th June 2024, the Group's immediate parent is Rossini S.à r.l., with headquarters in Luxembourg, which is owned by a consortium of investment funds controlled by CVC Capital Partners VII Limited.
To our knowledge, no transactions or contracts have been entered into with related parties that can be

considered significant in terms of value or conditions, or which could in any way materially affect the accounts.
At the date of preparation of the financial statements, no significant events had occurred subsequent to the close of the period that would require changes to the values of assets, liabilities or the income statement.

We have reviewed the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, comprising the consolidated income statement, the consolidated balance sheet, the statement of consolidated comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of change in shareholders' equity, the consolidated cash flow statement and the related notes to the consolidated condensed financial statements of Recordati Industria Chimica e Farmaceutica S.p.A. and its subsidiaries (the "Recordati Group") as of 30 June 2024. The Directors of Recordati Industria Chimica e Farmaceutica S.p.A. are responsible for the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standard applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with review standards recommended by Consob (the Italian Stock Exchange Regulatory Agency) in its Resolution no. 10867 of 31 July 1997. A review of interim condensed consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Recordati Group as of 30 June 2024 are not prepared, in all material respects, in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standard applicable to interim financial reporting (IAS 34) as adopted by the European Union.
