Business performance and key financial indicators

Preliminary remarks

The SCHOTT Pharma Group ("SCHOTT Pharma") financial year begins on October 1 and ends on September 30 of the following year. Q1 2026 therefore covers the period from October 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025. The period in the previous year (Q1 2025) referred accordingly to the period from October 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024.

Results of operations

SCHOTT Pharma generated revenue of EUR 240.2m in the first quarter of the financial year 2026, a year-onyear increase of 3.8%, and constant currency revenue growth of 4.8%. Growth was again largely driven by continued buoyant demand for High Value Solutions (HVS). The HVS revenue share rose two percentage points year-on-year to 57% matching the level seen in the financial year 2025.

Revenue performance by segment

Change in %
(in EUR m) Q1 2026 Q1 20251 Reported Constantcurrencies
Drug Containment Solutions (DCS) 137.2 128.3 +6.9% +9.4%
Drug Delivery Systems (DDS) 103.1 103.1 -0.0% -0.8%
Consolidation/reconciliation -0.1 -0.1 +75.5% +75.5%
Total 240.2 231.4 +3.8% +4.8%

1 Adjusted information for the previous year (see Consolidated statement of income).

Revenue in the Drug Containment Solutions (DCS) segment was up 6.9% (at constant currencies: 9.4%), driven mainly by the change to the product mix as a result of the significant increase in demand for readyto-use cartridges and the growth in special pharmaceutical vials. The vials have optimized inner surfaces, better geometric strength, low-friction outer coatings or special inner coatings and are therefore also suitable for more demanding applications.

Compared to the previous year, the Drug Delivery Systems (DDS) segment delivered a stable revenue performance; at constant currencies, a slight decline of -0.8%. The buoyant demand for prefillable glass syringes, met in particular by the new manufacturing capacities in Hungary, had a positive impact. In contrast, demand for polymer syringes softened with declining sales in mRNA modalities weighing on revenue performance.

Total 240.2 231.4 +3.8%

1 Adjusted information for the previous year (see Consolidated statement of income).

SCHOTT Pharma's EBITDA was EUR 65.2m in the first quarter of the financial year 2026, thus exceeding the previous year's figure of EUR 58.7m. The EBITDA margin was 27.1% compared with 25.4% in the same period in the previous year.

EBITDA performance by segment

(in EUR m) Q1 2026 Q1 20251 Changein %
Drug Containment Solutions (DCS) 33.4 28.1 +18.9%
Drug Delivery Systems (DDS) 32.6 35.1 -7.3%
Consolidation/reconciliation -0.8 -4.5 -83.4%
Total 65.2 58.7 +11.1%

1 Adjusted information for the previous year (see Consolidated statement of income).

EBITDA in the DCS segment increased disproportionately to revenue performance, raising the EBITDA margin to 24.3% (Q1 2025: 21.9%). Alongside volume effects, the improved product mix – driven by the increased demand for HVS products – had a particularly positive impact. These effects offset the ramp-up costs associated with capacity relocations.

As expected, the DDS segment reported a decline in EBITDA. The EBITDA margin was 31.6% (Q1 2025: 34.1%). The decrease in demand for polymer syringes and the associated lower capacity utilization were key factors. Ramp-up costs associated with capacity expansions for glass syringes also impacted the result. The positive revenue performance for glass syringes was only able to partially offset these effects.

In the previous year, EBITDA was impacted by negative exchange rate effects, resulting in particular from the US dollar and the Swiss franc fluctuating against the euro, and relating to the valuation of foreign exchange forward contracts. Exchange rate effects recognized in profit or loss are presented under the "Consolidation/reconciliation" item. There were no similar exchange rate effects in the first quarter of the current financial year.

The Group's cost of sales was up 4.3% and therefore slightly disproportionate to revenue. The gross profit margin was 33.2% (Q1 2025: 33.5%). The slight decline is mainly due to a change to the product mix as well as lower capacity utilization for polymer syringes in the DDS segment.

The balance of other operating income and expenses was almost even at EUR +0.4m (Q1 2025: EUR -1.2m), mainly due to lower exchange rate losses year-on-year of EUR 3.4m, which in the previous year were primarily due to the valuation of foreign exchange forward contracts. These were offset by lower income from reimbursed costs, which was down EUR 3.0m year-on-year, and mainly includes income from research and development projects carried out for customers as well as other services provided to SCHOTT Group companies.

The financial result was up EUR +1.6m compared to Q1 2025 to EUR -1.8m, mainly due to lower interest expenses from cash pool financing as a result of intra-group debt restructuring in Q1 2026.

Income tax expenses amounted to EUR 8.8m, a year-on-year increase of EUR 1.7m. As profit before income taxes rose by EUR 5.2m, the tax rate increased from 19.1% to 20.8%, mainly due to a change in the country mix compared to the previous year – based on profit before income taxes.

Overall, the aforementioned performance resulted in profit for the period increasing by EUR 3.5m to EUR 33.3m. Earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.22 (Q1 2025: EUR 0.20).

Financial position

(in EUR m) Q1 2026 Q1 20251 Change
Cash flows from operating activities 3.4 25.1 -21.7
Cash flows from investing activities -43.7 -59.6 +15.9
Cash flows from financing activities 42.6 28.6 +14.0

1Adjusted information for the previous year (see Consolidated statement of cash flows).

SCHOTT Pharma posted positive cash flows from operating activities of EUR 3.4m in the first three months of the financial year 2026 (Q1 2025: EUR 25.1m). Operating income (EBIT) of EUR 43.8m (Q1 2025: EUR 40.2m) made a positive contribution, as did non-cash effective depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-current assets of EUR 21.4m (Q1 2025: EUR 18.5m). The increase in depreciation, amortization and impairment reflects the extensive capital expenditure in capacity expansions in recent financial years. Please refer to the "Results of operations" section for details of EBIT performance. The change in working capital had a negative impact on cash flows of EUR -44.7m (Q1 2025: EUR -17.1m). The main reason for this was the lower trade liabilities to third parties and SCHOTT Group. Liabilities as of September 30 usually include higher liabilities relating to capital expenditure in the fourth quarter, which are settled, as expected, in the first quarter of the following financial year. In contrast to the previous year, trade receivables had no offsetting effect; this was due to the postponement of payments from a major customer to the second quarter as of the reporting date. The change in provisions and accrued liabilities due to Christmas bonuses and other bonus payments in the first quarter of EUR -7.7m (Q1 2025: EUR -13.8m) also contributed to the reduction. In addition, tax payments reduced cash flows from operating activities by EUR -6.0m (Q1 2025: EUR -8.2m). The balance of interest received and paid led to cash outflows of EUR -0.3m in the first quarter of the financial year 2026 (Q1 2025: EUR -1.7m).

Cash flows from investing activities are broken down as follows:

(in EUR m) Q1 2026 Q1 20251 Change
Cash flows from ongoing investing activities -23.2 -21.0 -2.3
Cash flows from investment of liquid assets -20.5 -38.6 +18.2
Cash flows from investing activities -43.7 -59.6 +15.9

1Adjusted information for the previous year (see Consolidated statement of cash flows).

Cash flows from ongoing investing activities include cash inflows from disposals and cash outflows for capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The balance in the first quarter of the financial year 2026 amounted to EUR -23.2m, almost all of which was attributable to capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. As a result, capital expenditure was slightly above the level in the previous year. Capital expenditure was allocated to capacity expansion projects in both segments, particularly at the locations in Switzerland and Hungary.

Cash flows from investment of liquid assets mainly comprise changes in financial receivables – SCHOTT Group, resulting from cash pool receivables vis-à-vis SCHOTT Group. These led to cash outflows of EUR -20.9m in the first quarter of the financial year 2026 (Q1 2025: EUR -38.6m), mainly due to the positive free cash flow of our Group companies in Germany, the USA and Mexico, which was invested in the SCHOTT Group as part of cash pool and treasury management.

Cash flows from financing activities led to cash inflows of EUR 42.6m in the first quarter of the financial year 2026 (Q1 2025: EUR 28.6m). Significant cash inflows of EUR 47.2m (Q1 2025: EUR 34.1m) resulted from the change in financial liabilities – SCHOTT Group, i.e. essentially from cash pool liabilities vis-à-vis SCHOTT Group. The cash inflows were due to the increased financing needs of individual Group companies for ongoing capacity expansion projects. These inflows were offset by cash outflows of EUR -3.7m (Q1 2025: EUR -3.4m) from the allocation of plan assets and of EUR -0.9m (Q1 2025: EUR -2.1m) from the repayment of lease liabilities.

All in all, the increase in cash and cash equivalents was EUR 2.3m – based on the position as of the reporting date of September 30, 2025. Taking into account changes due to foreign exchange rates of EUR -0.2m, cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 24.6m as of December 31, 2025.

Net assets

As of December 31, 2025, SCHOTT Pharma's non-current assets were up EUR 11.5m to a total of EUR 928.8m. This increase was mainly due to the EUR 6.8m growth in the balance of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. Capital expenditure of EUR 23.7m was offset by depreciation, amortization and impairment of EUR 21.4m and disposals of assets of EUR 0.2m. In addition, exchange rate effects resulted in an increase of EUR 4.5m, while inflationary adjustments at our Argentinian subsidiary resulted in a further increase of EUR 0.2m. Capital expenditure served to expand manufacturing capacities in both segments. In addition, the positive performance of our joint ventures led to a EUR 3.9m increase in the valuation of investments accounted for using the equity method.

Current assets were up EUR 17.6m compared with September 30, 2025. This increase was mainly driven by a EUR 21.3m increase in financial receivables – SCHOTT Group, which is largely attributable to the positive free cash flow of our Group companies in Germany, the USA and Mexico. This was offset by a EUR 2.4m decrease in the balance of contract assets and trade receivables from third parties and SCHOTT Group. In particular the reduction in stocks of customer-specific products in the DDS segment led to a decrease in contract assets.

SCHOTT Pharma's equity amounted to EUR 932.3m as of the reporting date (September 30, 2025: EUR 893.7m) and the equity ratio increased from 55.9% to 57.3% as of the reporting date. The higher ratio is the combined result of a EUR 29.1m increase in total assets and a EUR 38.6m increase in equity. Please refer to the relevant statements in the section below for more details on the increase in total assets. At EUR 33.3m, profit for the period in the first three months of the financial year was the main factor driving the increase in equity, as well as actuarial gains of EUR 2.8m in connection with changes in the interest rates relevant to the measurement of pension provisions. In addition, foreign currency translation effects of EUR 2.5m had a positive impact on equity.

At EUR 252.7m, long-term debt was roughly at the same level as in the previous year (September 30, 2025: EUR 251.0m). While income tax provisions were up EUR 6.3m, pension provisions were down EUR 4.9m. The change in pension provisions is due to the allocation of plan assets and changes in the interest rate relevant in terms of measurement.

Compared with September 30, 2025, current liabilities were down EUR 11.1m to EUR 442.7m. The main driver of this decrease was the reduction in trade liabilities to third parties and SCHOTT Group of EUR 40.1m. As of the previous year's reporting date, liabilities included higher amounts related to capital expenditure in the fourth quarter, which were settled at the beginning of the current financial year. In addition, accrued liabilities were down EUR 15.4m, in particular due to the Christmas bonuses and other bonus payments to employees in the first quarter. This was offset by an increase of EUR 48.6m in financial liabilities – SCHOTT Group. The key drivers here were the increased financing needs for ongoing capacity expansion projects of individual Group companies.

Report on changed forecasts

We confirm our forecast made in the Annual Report 2025.

Key financial performance indicator ForecastFinancial year 2026 BasisFinancial year 2025
Organic revenue growth between 2% and 5% EUR 986.2m
EBITDA margin around 27% 28.4%

Detailed information on the forecasts for the financial year 2026 can be found in the Combined management report in the Annual Report 2025, beginning on page 37.

The risk and opportunity position has not changed significantly since September 30, 2025. Taking all planned or implemented measures into account, there were no identifiable risks at the time of reporting that would individually or collectively jeopardize SCHOTT Pharma's existence as a going concern. Detailed information on SCHOTT Pharma's risk management system and the risk and opportunity position can be found in the Combined management report in the Annual Report 2025 beginning on page 39.

Our forecast is based on various assumptions. In terms of revenue growth, it excludes portfolio measures but assumes that exchange rates will remain constant. Furthermore, it assumes that the geopolitical and global economic situation, global supply chains, inflation and energy supply will not deteriorate, and that there will be no further relevant pandemic-related restrictions.

SCHOTT Pharma's actual performance may deviate positively or negatively from our forecasts, either due to the risks and opportunities described in the Annual Report 2025 (chapter entitled "Report on risks and opportunities" in the Combined management report), or because our expectations and assumptions fail to materialize.

1 Adjusted information for the previous year – retrospective adjustment within cash flows from operating activities as certain products were included in revenue recognized over time, although the requirements in accordance with IFRS 15.35(c) were not met in full. As a result, there were movements between individual items, but without this having an impact on total cash flows from operating activities. Additional details are provided in Note 3.5 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report 2025.

2 Adjusted information for the previous year – reclassifications from cash flows from financing activities: the item Change in financial receivables – SCHOTT Group has been reported within cash flows from investing activities since the financial year 2025. Previously, allocation to cash flows from financing activities was based on an economic perspective; a legal approach will be applied going forward. As a result, cash flows from investing activities were down EUR -38,616k. In addition, cash flows related to financial assets and financial liabilities have been reclassified and from this point forward will be allocated to cash flows from operating activities. This led to an increase in cash flows from operating activities of EUR 700k. Cash flows from financing activities increased by a total of EUR 37,916k. Additional details are provided in Note 33 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report 2025.
