Business Performance and Key Financial Indicators

Preliminary remarks

The SCHOTT Pharma Group ("SCHOTT Pharma") financial year covers the period from October 1 through September 30 of the respective calendar year. 9M 2025 (previous year: 9M 2024) therefore relates to the period from October 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 (previous year: October 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024). Q3 2025 (previous year: Q3 2024) relates to the period from April 1, 2025 through June 30, 2025 (previous year: April 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024).

Results of operations

SCHOTT Pharma generated revenue of EUR 738.6m in the first nine months of the financial year 2025. This is equivalent to year-on-year growth of 2.6% and constant currency revenue growth of 5.5%.

This revenue growth was driven by the continued buoyant demand for HVS products. Revenue distribution by segment was as follows:

Change in %
(in EUR m) 9M 2025 9M 2024 Reported Constant
currencies
Drug Containment Solutions (DCS) 414.2 400.1 3.5% 9.8%
Drug Delivery Systems (DDS) 324.8 320.3 1.4% 0.1%
Consolidation/Reconciliation -0.4 -0.3 21.9% 21.9%
Total 738.6 720.0 2.6% 5.5%

Revenue in the DCS segment was up 3.5% year-on-year (at constant currencies: 9.8%). The strong demand for pharmaceutical vials and cartridges, both in ready-to-use configuration, and for special pharmaceutical vials made a significant contribution to our positive performance. Special pharmaceutical vials have special features such as improved inner surfaces (e.g. EVERIC® pure), tighter geometries as well as internal and external coatings (e.g. EVERIC® lyo, EVERIC® plus).

The DDS segment also posted slight revenue growth. Revenue was up 1.4% year-on-year (at constant currencies: 0.1%) driven mainly by the continued strong demand for prefillable glass syringes. However, this was offset by the reduced order volume of polymer syringes in the current financial year.

Revenue distribution by region was as follows:

(in EUR m) 9M 2025 9M 2024 Change
in %
EMEA 384.1 401.5 -4.3%
Asia and South Pacific 126.9 129.6 -2.1%
North America 162.6 127.3 27.8%
South America 65.0 61.7 5.4%
Total 738.6 720.0 2.6%

SCHOTT Pharma's EBITDA was EUR 212.9m in the first nine months of the financial year, thus exceeding the previous year's figure of EUR 191.4m. This resulted in an EBITDA margin of 28.8% (9M 2024: 26.6%). At constant currencies, the EBITDA margin was also 28.8%.

The above developments led to the following EBITDA figures by segment:

Change in %
(in EUR m) 9M 2025 9M 2024 Reported Constant
currencies
Drug Containment Solutions (DCS) 99.7 84.3 18.2% 26.3%
Drug Delivery Systems (DDS) 113.9 121.3 -6.1% -7.8%
Consolidation/Reconciliation -0.7 -14.2 -95.3% -102.9%
Total 212.9 191.4 11.2% 14.3%

EBITDA in the DCS segment increased disproportionately in comparison with revenue growth compared with the same period in the previous year. This resulted in a constant-currency EBITDA margin of 24.2% (9M 2024, reported: 21.1%), driven mainly by the change to the product mix as a result of the increased demand for HVS products and the efficiency measures introduced in the previous year. These positive effects more than offset the ramp-up costs associated with capacity relocations, which continue to impact EBITDA.

As expected, EBITDA declined in the DDS segment. The constant-currency EBITDA margin was 34.9% (9M 2024 reported: 37.9%). The downward trend in revenue growth with polymer syringes and the resulting lower capacity utilization had a particularly adverse impact. In addition, both a changed product mix compared to the previous year and ramp-up costs associated with capacity expansions for glass syringes had a negative impact on EBITDA. The positive performance of glass syringes was only able to partially offset these effects.

In line with revenue growth, the cost of sales for SCHOTT Pharma Group increased by 2.6% in the first nine months of the financial year 2025, resulting in an unchanged gross profit margin compared to the previous year of 34.7%.

The balance of other operating income and expenses was up EUR 9.6m from EUR -1.1m to EUR 8.5m, driven mainly by lower exchange rate losses of EUR 9.8m compared to the previous year.

The financial result was down EUR 3.1m year-on-year. This was due to higher interest expenses as part of cash pool financing and from leases. The higher interest expenses from cash pool financing were due to the increased financing needs for ongoing capacity expansion projects of individual SCHOTT Pharma companies.

Income tax expenses amounted to EUR 32.7m, a year-on-year increase of EUR 10.9m. As profit before income taxes rose by EUR 8.0m, the tax rate increased from 15.8% to 22.4%. The previous year's tax rate was affected by non-recurring tax income in the low single-digit million range, resulting from a change in accounting estimates in the measurement of deferred taxes, and was therefore exceptionally low. The initial application of the rules on global minimum taxation (Pillar Two) had an upward effect of around one percentage point on the tax rate in the first nine months of the financial year 2025.

Overall, the aforementioned development resulted in profit for the period decreasing to EUR 113.3m with earnings per share of EUR 0.75 (9M 2024: EUR 0.77).

Financial position

(in EUR m) 9M 2025 9M 2024 Change
Cash flows from operating activities 127.6 149.4 -21.8
Cash flows from investing activities -88.2 -81.4 -6.8
Cash flows from financing activities -33.7 -68.8 +35.1

SCHOTT Pharma posted a positive cash flow from operating activities of EUR 127.6m in the first nine months of the financial year 2025. This was below the previous year's level (9M 2024: EUR 149.4m). Operating income (EBIT) of EUR 155.6m (9M 2024: EUR 144.5m) made a positive contribution, as did non-cash effective depreciation, amortization and impairment of non-current assets of EUR 57.3m (9M 2024: EUR 47.0m) included in operating income. Please refer to the Results of operations section for more details on the increase in EBIT. The increase in depreciation and amortization was due to the extensive capital expenditure on capacity expansion projects in recent financial years. This was offset by the change in working capital of EUR -39.3m (9M 2024: EUR -22.8m). The main drivers for this were higher inventories and contract assets compared with the previous year due to the increased volume of business. In addition, tax payments reduced cash flow from operating activities by EUR -43.5m (9M 2024: EUR -23.4m). The balance of interest received and paid led to a cash outflow of EUR -6.1m in the first nine months of the financial year 2025 (9M 2024: EUR -2.6m).

Cash flows from investing activities amounted to EUR -88.2m, a year-on-year increase of EUR -6.8m. The main driver for this was the EUR 8.7m increase in capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets compared to the previous year. Capital expenditure in the first nine months of the financial year 2025 was evenly distributed across both segments. As in the financial year 2024, investments focused on capacity expansion projects.

Financing activities resulted in a cash outflow of EUR -33.7m in the first nine months of the financial year 2025 (9M 2024: EUR -68.8m). Significant cash outflows resulted from dividend payments to our limited liability shareholders of EUR -24.1m (9M 2024: EUR -22.6m). In addition, further cash outflows were attributable to the allocation of plan assets of EUR -7.1m (9M 2024: EUR -4.4m) and the repayment of lease liabilities of EUR -3.9m (9M 2024: EUR -2.0m). These outflows were offset by cash inflows of EUR 1.7m (9M 2024: cash outflows of EUR -38.8m) due to changes in the items "Financial receivables – SCHOTT Group" and "Financial liabilities – SCHOTT Group". These items comprise the cash pool liabilities and receivables vis-à-vis SCHOTT Group. Since SCHOTT Pharma companies are permitted to draw down liquidity to finance their operating business as per the existing cash pool agreements, the corresponding transactions are characterized as financing transactions and are therefore generally classified as financing activities.

All in all, the increase in cash and cash equivalents was EUR 5.8m – based on the position as of the reporting date of September 30, 2024. Taking into consideration changes resulting from exchange rate fluctuations, which reduced cash and cash equivalents by a total of EUR -0.6m, cash and cash equivalents increased to EUR 28.3m as of June 30, 2025.

Net assets

Non-current assets were up EUR 26.0m to EUR 879.7m as of June 30, 2025. This increase was mainly due to the EUR 23.6m growth in the balance of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. Capital expenditure of EUR 91.4m was offset by depreciation and amortization of EUR 57.3m and disposals of EUR 0.9m. In addition, exchange rate effects resulted in a decrease of EUR 9.0m and inflationary adjustments at our Argentinian subsidiary led to a decrease of EUR 0.6m. Capital expenditure included non-cash additions of EUR 2.2m for right-of-use assets related to leases. Investments focused on the expansion of manufacturing capacities in both segments. In addition, the positive performance of our joint ventures led to a EUR 2.3m increase in the valuation of investments accounted for using the equity method.

Current assets were up EUR 59.9m compared with September 30, 2024. Inventories were up EUR 26.6m in the first nine months of the financial year 2025 as a result of the increased volume of business and the ongoing capacity expansions. In addition, as a result of the increased volume of business, contract assets and trade receivables from third parties and SCHOTT Group contributed EUR 31.9m to the increase in current assets.

SCHOTT Pharma's equity amounted to EUR 865.0m as of the reporting date (September 30, 2024: EUR 792.3m) and the equity ratio increased from 54.9% to 56.6% as of the reporting date. This increase is the combined result of an EUR 85.9m increase in total assets and a EUR 72.8m increase in equity. The increase in equity was mainly due to profit for the period in the first nine months of the financial year 2025 of EUR 113.3m and actuarial gains of EUR 3.2m in connection with changes in the interest rate relevant to the measurement of pension provisions. This was offset by dividend payments of EUR -24.6m to our limited liability shareholders and non-controlling interests as well as EUR -19.1m in foreign currency translation effects.

Non-current liabilities were up EUR 35.8m to EUR 250.4m. The main driver for this increase was contract liabilities, which were up EUR 37.4m due to advance payments received from customers. This was offset by a EUR 5.1m decrease in pension provisions. This development is due to the allocation of plan assets and the change in the interest rate relevant in terms of measurement.

Compared with September 30, 2024, current liabilities were down EUR 22.7m to EUR 412.8m. The main driver of this decrease was the reduction in trade liabilities to third parties and SCHOTT Group of EUR 18.7m. 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, income tax liabilities fell by EUR 16.7m as a result of tax payments. This was offset by an increase of EUR 7.3m in "Financial liabilities – SCHOTT Group". The key drivers here were the increased financing needs for ongoing capacity expansion projects of individual SCHOTT Pharma companies. Contract liabilities also increased by EUR 5.7m as a result of reclassification from non-current liabilities to current liabilities, since the deliveries for which the advance payments were made are expected to take place in the following financial year.

Report on Changed Forecasts

Based on the business performance in the first nine months of the financial year and the outlook for the financial year as a whole, the Management Board has specified the forecast for the financial year 2025.

Organic revenue growth for the financial year 2025 is expected to be around 6.0%. This specification from "high-single digit" to the lower end of the management's prior expectation of between 6.0% and 9.0% reflects the most recent market dynamics following increased uncertainty given ongoing global policy discussions which impact industry sentiment.

Regarding profitability, SCHOTT Pharma increases its EBITDA margin guidance to around 28.0%, above the previous guidance of "approximately at the level of FY 2024 (26.9%)". The continued high demand for strong-margin HVS, particularly sterile cartridges and specialty vials, led to a beneficial product mix. In addition, SCHOTT Pharma's ongoing measures to improve operational performance and efficiency are positively impacting the company's EBITDA.

The forecast for the financial year 2025 includes expected direct effects arising from the global tariff policy developments known at the time of reporting.

Detailed information on the initial forecast for the financial year 2025 can be found in the Combined Management Report in the Annual Report 2024, beginning on page 35.

The risk and opportunity position has not changed significantly since March 31, 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 2024 beginning on page 37, and on page 10 of the Half-Year Financial Report 2025.

Our forecast is based on various assumptions. 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 2024 (section entitled "Report on Risks and Opportunities" in the Combined Management Report) and in the Half-Year Financial Report 2025 (section entitled "Report on Risks and Opportunities"), or because our expectations and assumptions fail to materialize.
