¹in order to provide a clearer picture of our economic performance, we isolate the impact of the allowance for depreciations of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions. This turned out to have a material impact considering the latest external growth that took place through acquisitions. Therefore, our income statement shows a current operating profit, before depreciation of assets arising from acquisitions (see note A24)

VIRBAC FINANCIAL REPORT 2025
CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
General information note
Virbac is an independent, global pharmaceutical laboratory exclusively dedicated to animal health which markets a full range of products designed for companion animals and farm animals.
The Virbac share is listed on the Paris stock exchange in section A of the Euronext.
Virbac is a public limited company governed by French law, whose governance evolved in December 2020 from an organization with an executive board and a supervisory board to an organization incorporating a general management (which relies on a Group executive committee) and a board of directors. Its trading name is "Virbac". The company was established in 1968 in Carros.
After the joint ordinary and extraordinary shareholders' meeting held on June 17, 2014, which adopted the resolution on reviewing the by-laws, the company's lifetime was extended to 99 years, i.e. until June 17, 2113.
The head office is located at 1ère avenue 2065 m LID 06516 Carros. The company is registered in the Grasse Trade and companies register under the number 417350311 RCS Grasse (France).
Our consolidated accounts for the 2025 financial year were approved by the board of directors on March 17, 2026. They will be submitted for approval to the shareholders' general meeting on June 29, 2026, which has the power to have the statements amended.
The explanatory notes below form part of the consolidated accounts.
Significant events over the period
Appointment of the new chief executive officer
On June 18, 2025, Virbac's board of directors appointed Paul Martinqell as chief executive officer, effective September 1, 2025. This appointment was the subject of a press release on June 19, available on our corporate website.
Habib Ramdani, who had been appointed interim chief executive officer by the board of directors following the resignation of Sébastien Huron effective September 27, 2024, resumed his previous roles as Group chief financial officer and deputy chief executive officer as of September 1, 2025.
Effects of US customs duties
US trade policy regarding tariffs has evolved over the past year. We anticipate a moderate impact from the potential increase in US tariffs. Indeed, approximately two-thirds of our US revenue in 2025 is manufactured locally, and nearly 80% (due to ongoing industrial projects) are expected to be generated by our local production in the United States by the end of 2026.
To date, the maximum direct impact of tariffs (i.e., excluding any potential price increases that could offset all or part of these impacts), as assessed to date, is around US $3 million annually. The impact of the recent US Supreme Court decision is currently being analyzed at the Group level.
Acquisition in the UK of the company holding the intellectual property to Thyronorm on December 16, 2025
On December 16, we finalized the acquisition of the company holding the rights, patents, and all intellectual property relating to Thyronorm (representing approximately €15 million in annual revenue), an innovative treatment for feline hyperthyroidism—a condition affecting more than 10% of senior cats. This addition strengthens our existing portfolio and is expected to be accretive to both sales and Ebitda margin within the first year.
Virbac will manage direct distribution in the following markets, UK, Australia, and New Zealand (under the brand name Thyronorm), and in the United States (under the brand name Felanorm). In Europe, distribution will gradually transition from current partners (Boehringer Ingelheim, Elanco) to Virbac over the coming years.

Significant events after the closing date
Geopolitical situation in the Middle East
The beginning of 2026 saw the emergence of an armed conflict in the Middle East. An assessment of its potential impact on operational activities and its financial repercussions for the Group is underway.
However, Virbac does not have any production sites, logistics centers, or significant assets in the areas directly affected by the conflict. Furthermore, no investments in local entities are recorded on the balance sheet.
Sales generated in this region are negligible (less than 0.4% of consolidated revenue), and the Group is not dependent on any strategic suppliers located in the conflict zone, as Virbac benefits from diversified sources of supply.
We monitor closely the developments and the potential effects on logistics flows and energy costs, although no material impact has been identified as of the date of publication of these financial statements.
Accounting principles and methods
Compliance and basis for preparing the consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements cover the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
In line with regulation n°1606/2002 of the European parliament and of the council of July 19, 2002 on the application of international accounting standards, our consolidated financial statements are established in accordance with the international accounting standards and interpretations, which encompasses the IFRS (International financial reporting standards), the IAS (International accounting standards), as well as applicable interpretations by the SIC (Standards interpretations committee) and the Ifric (International financial reporting interpretations committee), whose application was compulsory at December 31, 2024.
Our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 have been prepared in accordance with the standard published by the IASB (International accounting standards board) and the standard adopted by the European Union as of December 31, 2023. The IFRS standard adopted by the European Union as at December 31, 2024 is available under the heading "IAS/IFRS interpretations and standards", on the following website:
http://ec.europa.eu/finance/company-reporting/standards-interpretations/index.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS general principles: true and fair view, business continuity, accrual basis accounting, consistency of presentation, materiality and consolidation.
New standards and interpretations
Mandatory standards and interpretations as at January 1, 2025
- Amendments to IAS 21 - Lack of Exchangeability
IFRIC decisions applicable over the period
- IFRS 9 Financial instruments – Guarantees issued on obligations of other entities
- IAS 38 Intangible assets – Recognition of intangible assets arising from climate-related expenditures
- IAS 29 Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies – Assessment of indicators of hyperinflationary economies
These new texts have had no significant impact on our accounts.
Consolidation rules applied
Consolidation scope and methods
In accordance with IFRS 10 "Consolidated financial statements", our consolidated financial statements include all of the entities controlled, directly or indirectly, by Virbac, whatever equity share it may have in these entities. An entity is controlled by Virbac once the following three criteria are cumulatively met:
- Virbac has power over the subsidiary whereby it has actual rights that give it the ability to direct relevant activities;
- Virbac is exposed to or has rights to variable returns because of its connections to that entity;
- Virbac has the capacity to exercise its power over this entity so as to affect the amount of returns that it receives.
Determining control takes into account potential voting rights if they are substantive, in other words, whether they can be exercised in a timely fashion when decisions about the entity's relevant activities should be taken.
VIRBAC FINANCIAL REPORT 2025
CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
The entities over which Virbac exercises this control are fully consolidated. As applicable, any non-controlling (minority) interests are valued on the date of acquisition in the amount of the fair value of the identified net assets and liabilities.
In accordance with IFRS 11 "Partnerships", we classify partnerships as joint ventures. Depending on the partnerships, Virbac exercises:
- joint control over a partnership when decisions regarding the partnership's relevant activities require unanimous consent from Virbac and the other parties sharing control;
- significant influence over an associated company when it has the power to participate in financial and operational decisions, albeit without having the power to control or exercise joint control over these policies.
- joint ventures and associated companies are consolidated using the equity method in accordance with IAS 28 "Investments in associated companies and joint ventures" standard.
The consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2025 include the financial statements of the companies that Virbac controls indirectly or directly, in law or in fact. The list of consolidated companies is provided in note A40.
The changes in the scope of consolidation during the period are as follows: integration of the entity Virbac NI Licences Ltd, and liquidation of the entities Centrovet Inc and Shandong Weisheng Biotech Co. Ltd (formerly accounted for using the equity method).
All transactions between Group companies, as well as inter-company profits, are eliminated from the consolidated accounts.
Foreign exchange conversion methods
Conversion of foreign currency operations in the accounts of consolidated companies
Fixed assets and inventories acquired using foreign currency are converted into functional currency using the exchange rates in effect on the date of acquisition. All monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are converted using the exchange rates in effect on the year-end date. The resulting exchange rate gains and losses are recorded in the income statement.
Conversion of foreign company accounts
In accordance with IAS 21 "Effects of changes in foreign exchange rates", each of our entities accounts for its operations in its functional currency, the currency that most clearly reflects its business environment.
Our consolidated financial statements are presented in euros. The financial statements of foreign companies for which the functional currency is not the euro are converted according to the following principles:
- the balance sheet items are converted at the rate in force at the close of the period. The conversion difference resulting from the application of a different exchange rate for opening equity is shown in the other comprehensive income;
- the income statements are converted at the average rate for the period. The conversion difference resulting from the application of an exchange rate different from the balance sheet rate is shown in the other comprehensive income.
In addition, since 2024, the Group has applied IAS 29 relating to hyperinflationary economies. Türkiye is the only country covered by the Group's scope of consolidation and has been included in the list of hyperinflationary economies since 2022. However, the growth of our local activity and the acquisition of the Mopsan subsidiary at the end of 2024 led us to implement these accounting provisions starting last year, although the overall impact remains immaterial in 2025.
The impact of hyperinflation, although trivial, is treated as "Other variations" in the changes in equity, as a financial result in the income statement, and on the lines "Changes in scope and others" in the balance sheet items concerned.
Accounting principles applied
Goodwill
Goodwill is recognized as an asset in our statement of financial position and represents the excess, at the date of acquisition, of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired. It also includes the value of the acquired business goodwill.
In line with IAS 36 "Impairment of assets", goodwill is at the very least tested once annually, at the end of the year, regardless of whether there is an indication of an impairment, and consistently whenever events or new circumstances indicate an impairment.
For the purposes of these tests, the asset values are grouped by CGU (Cash generating unit). In the case of goodwill, the related assets held by the legal entity are typically the smallest identifiable group of cash-flow-generating assets. The legal entity is therefore used as a CGU. In the implementation of goodwill impairment testing, we apply a DCF (Discounted cash flow) approach. This approach consists of calculating the value in use of the CGU by discounting estimated future cash flows. When the value in use of the CGU is less than its net carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the net carrying amount of the CGU assets to their recoverable amount, which is defined as the higher between the net fair value and the value in use. The goodwill is first impaired, before the other assets are impaired in proportion to their weighting in the total assets of the CGU, or group of CGUs.
VIRBAC FINANCIAL REPORT
CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
The future cash flows used for the impairment tests are calculated based on estimates (business plans) over a five-year period. IAS 36 authorizes more distant perspectives to be used in certain situations when they provide a better account of the forecasts. This is especially the case when major product launches are being considered.
All of the business plans are validated by the subsidiaries' general management, as well as by the Group's Finance Affairs department. The board of directors formally validates the business plans and main assumptions of impairment tests of the most significant CGUs.
For cash flow forecasts, the perpetual growth rates used, which depend on products and market growth expectations, and the discount rates based on the weighted average cost of capital after tax method, are presented in note A3. The calculation of discount rates is made by geographic area, with the support of a valuation firm.
Valuations carried out during the goodwill impairment tests are sensitive to the assumptions used in regards not only to the selling price and future costs, but also to the discount and infinite growth rates. Sensitivity calculations for measuring our exposure to significant variations in these assumptions are performed.
Intangible assets
IAS 38 sets out the six criteria required to account for an intangible asset:
- technical feasibility required to complete the development project;
- intent to complete the project;
- ability to use the intangible asset;
- support proving that the asset will generate future economic benefits;
- availability of technical, financial and other resources in order to complete the project;
- reliable valuation of the development expenditures.
Internal development costs
They are only recorded under intangible assets if all six IAS 38 criteria have been met. At Virbac, we consider that the feasibility criterion (paragraph IAS 38.57.a) is met when the marketing authorization is obtained.
Intangible assets are valued at their historical acquisition cost, including acquisition fees, plus, if applicable, the internal costs of employees who have contributed in the realization of the intangible asset.
Research and development projects acquired separately
Payments made for the separate acquisition of research and development activities are recognized as intangible assets when they meet the definition of an intangible asset, i.e. when they are a controlled resource from which future economic benefits are expected to flow, and which is identifiable, that is, separable, or it arises from contractual or legal rights.
In line with paragraph 25 of IAS 38, the first accounting criterion, which relates to the likelihood the intangible asset will generate future economic benefits, is deemed to be met for research and development activities when they are acquired separately. At Virbac, this presumption is supported by an internal technical assessment confirming the project's maturity. In this respect, amounts paid to third parties in the form of deposits or installments on generic products that have not yet been granted a marketing authorization are recognized as an asset.
The amount of the intangible assets is reduced by any accumulated depreciation and, if applicable, accumulated impairment losses.
The intangible assets with finite useful lives are subject to a linear depreciation, as soon as the asset is ready to be used:
- concessions, patents, licenses and Marketing authorizations: amortized over their useful lives;
- standard software (office tools, etc.): amortized over a period of three or four years;
- ERP: amortized over a period of five to ten years.
It should be noted that most of the brands owned by the Group, and recognized in our accounts following acquisitions made under IFRS 3, have an indefinite lifespan, except in some cases where we felt that it was more relevant to retain a definite life, considering a set of indicators such as: the history of the acquired brand, possible legal limitations, potential technical obsolescence, etc.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are reviewed annually, to ensure that their useful life has not become finite.
During the useful life of an intangible asset, it may seem that the estimation of its useful life has become inadequate. As required by IAS 38, the duration and method of depreciation of this asset are re-examined and if the expected useful life of the asset is different from previous estimations, the depreciation period is consequently modified.
In accordance with IAS 36 "Impairment of assets", the potential impairment loss of intangible assets is assessed each year. In the case of assets with indefinite useful lives, the tests are carried out during the second half year, regardless of whether there is any indication of impairment, and consistently whenever events or new circumstances indicate an impairment loss for assets with defined useful lives.
Intangible assets are tested for impairment in the same way as goodwill, as described in the paragraph above.

CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
Tangible assets
In accordance with IAS 16, tangible assets are valued at their historical acquisition cost, including acquisition fees, or at their initial manufacturing cost, plus, if applicable, the internal costs of staff directly contributing to the construction of a tangible asset.
In accordance with IAS 23 revised, borrowing costs are incorporated into the acquisition costs of eligible assets.
The amount of the tangible assets is reduced by any accumulated depreciation and, if applicable, accumulated impairment losses.
If applicable, assets are broken down by component, each component having its own specific depreciation period, in line with the depreciation period of similar assets.
Tangible assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, namely:
- buildings:
- structure: forty years;
- components: ten to twenty years;
- materials and industrial equipment:
- structure: twenty years;
- components: five to ten years;
- computer equipment: three or four years;
- other tangible assets: five to ten years.
Right of use
Our Group recognizes assets related to those leases falling within the scope of the IFRS 16 standard. Consequently, the Group has decided to separately identify the rights of use on a dedicated balance sheet line. The rights of use are generally amortized over the residual term of the contracts or over a longer term in the event of likely renewal.
Inventories and work in progress
Inventories and work in progress are accounted for at the lowest value of the cost and the net realizable value.
The cost of inventories includes all acquisition costs, transformation costs and other costs incurred to bring the inventories to their current location and condition. The acquisition costs of inventories include the purchase price, customs fees and other non-retrievable taxes, as well as transport and handling costs and other costs directly attributable to their acquisition. Rebates granted to customers and other similar items are deducted from this cost.
Inventories in raw materials and supplies are evaluated in accordance with the weighted average cost method.
Inventories in trading goods are also evaluated in accordance with the weighted average cost method. The acquisition cost of raw material inventories includes all additional purchase costs.
The manufacturing work in progress and the finished products are valued at their actual manufacturing cost, including direct and indirect production costs.
Finished products are valued in each of our subsidiaries at the price invoiced by the Group's selling company, plus distribution costs; the margin included in these inventories is eliminated in the consolidated accounts, taking into account the complete average production cost stated for the Group's selling company.
The inventories of spare parts are valued on the basis of the last purchase price.
An impairment loss is recorded where necessary to value inventories at their net realizable value, when the products become out-of-date or unusable or sometimes based on the sales forecasts of certain products in dedicated markets.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are classified as current assets to the extent that they form part of our normal operating cycle.
Trade receivables are recognized and recorded for the initial amount of the invoice, minus any impairment recorded in the income statement. An estimation of the total bad debt is made when it becomes unlikely that the full amount will be recovered. Bad debts are written off when identified as such.
In accordance with IFRS 9, they are subject to impairment, corresponding to the estimated expected losses, determined by application of an impairment matrix (application of the simplified impairment model provided for by IFRS 9). This approach consists of applying, to each ageing bracket, an impairment rate based on the history of credit losses, adjusted, if applicable, to take into account elements of a prospective nature.
Receivables assigned as part of a factoring contract without recourse are subject to a substantial factoring contract analysis based on the criteria set out in IFRS 9. These receivables are deconsolidated, if applicable.
Other financial assets
The other financial assets recognized in our accounts include mainly loans, other receivables, non-available cash items, and financial derivatives.
Loans and other receivables are accounted for at amortized cost, derivatives are recognized at fair value (see note A6).
Other financial assets at fair value
All of our financial assets are valued at fair value using observable data. The only financial assets that come under this category are hedging instruments and marketable securities (see note A32).
VIRBAC FINANCIAL REPORT
CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
Cash and cash equivalents
The cash position is made up of bank balances, securities and cash equivalents highly liquid, readily convertible to known amounts and that can therefore be used to meet short-term cash commitments.
The majority of these investments are UCITS (Undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities) and futures contracts with maturities that are generally under three months, or, when above - without exceeding twelve months - they are easily available and can be called back without material penalties. These are in place with first-class counterparties.
The bank accounts subject to restrictions (restricted accounts) are excluded from the cash flow and reclassified as other financial assets.
Treasury shares
Shares in the parent company held by the parent company or its consolidated subsidiaries (whether classified in the statutory accounts as non-current financial assets or marketable securities), are recognized as a deduction from shareholders' equity at their purchase cost. Any gain or loss on disposal of these shares is directly recognized (net of tax) in shareholders' equity and not recognized in income for the year.
Conversion reserves
This item represents the conversion variance of net opening positions for foreign companies, arising from the differences between the conversion rate at the date of entry into the consolidation and the closing rate of the period, and also other conversion differences recorded on the profit for the period arising from differences between the conversion rate of the income statement (average rate) and the closing rate for the period.
Reserves
This item represents the share attributable to the owners of the parent company in the reserves accumulated by the consolidated companies, since their entry into the scope of consolidation.
Non-controlling interests
This item represents the share of the shareholders outside the Group in the equity and the income of the consolidated companies.
Derivative instruments and hedge accounting
We hold derivative financial instruments only for the purpose of reducing our exposure to rate or exchange risks on balance sheet items and our firm or highly likely commitments.
We use hedge accounting to offset the impact of the hedged item and of the hedging instrument in the income statement, on a quasi-systematic basis, when the following conditions are met:
- the impact on the income statement is significant;
- the hedging links and effectiveness of the hedging can be properly demonstrated.
We hedge most of our significant and certain foreign exchange positions (receivables, liabilities, dividends, intra-group loans), as well as our future sales and purchases (see note A33).
Trade payables
Trade payables and other debts fall within the category of financial liabilities valued at amortized cost, as defined by the IFRS 9 "Financial instruments". These financial liabilities are initially recorded at their nominal value.
Other financial liabilities
The other financial liabilities consist primarily of bank loans and financial debts. Loan and debt instruments are valued initially at the fair value of the consideration received, minus the transaction costs directly attributed to the operation. Thereafter, they are valued at their amortized cost.
Lease liability
The Group recognizes in its financial statements a liability relating to leases falling within the scope of the IFRS 16. We have chosen to isolate lease liabilities, for their current and non-current part, on a dedicated balance sheet line. These debts are discounted on the basis of rates determined with the support of an actuary, according to the country risk, the category of the underlying asset and the lease period.
Retirement plans, severance pay and other post-employment benefits
Defined-contribution retirement plans
The advantages associated with defined contribution retirement plans are expensed as incurred.
Defined-benefit retirement plans
Our liabilities arising from defined benefit retirement plans are determined using the projected unit credit actuarial method. These liabilities are measured at each reporting date. The method used to calculate the liabilities is based on a number of actuarial assumptions. The discount rate is determined in relation to the yield on investment grade corporate bonds (issuers
VIRBAC FINANCIAL REPORT 2025
CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
rated "AA"). The Group's obligations are subject to a provision for their amount, net of the fair value of the hedging assets. In accordance with IAS 19 revised, actuarial differences are recorded in the other items of the comprehensive income.
Other provisions
A provision is recognized when the Group has a present obligation resulting from a past event which will probably lead to an outflow of economic benefits that can be reasonably estimated. The amount recorded under provisions is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the existing obligation on the balance sheet date, and is discounted if the effect is material.
Taxation
Our subsidiaries account for their taxes based on the respective tax regulations applicable locally. The parent company and its French subsidiaries are part of a fiscally integrated group. Under the terms of the tax consolidation agreement, each consolidated company is required to account for tax as if it were taxed separately. The income or expense of tax consolidation is recognized in the parent company's accounts.
Our Group recognizes deferred taxes on timing differences between the carrying amount and the tax base of an asset or liability. Tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
In accordance with the IAS 12, which allows under certain conditions the offsetting of tax liabilities and receivables, the deferred tax assets and liabilities have been offset by tax entity. In situations involving a net deferred tax asset on tax loss carryforwards, it is only recognized in accordance with IAS 12 if there are strong indications that it can be offset against future taxable profits.
Non-current assets held with a view to sale and discontinued activities
IFRS 5 states that an activity is considered discontinued when the classification criteria of an asset being held with a view to sale have been fulfilled, or when the Group ceases the activity. An asset is classified as held for sale if its carrying amount will be mainly recovered through sale rather than through continued use.
As at December 31, 2025, no asset was classified as held for sale.
Revenue from ordinary activities
In accordance with IFRS 15, revenue recognition is assessed in light of performance obligations and transfer of control. In relation to the accounting of the sale of products, the transfer of risks and rewards is an indicator of transfer of control, even if this is not always the key criterion.
Our income from ordinary activities reflects the sale of animal health and nutrition products. Revenue comprises the fair value before tax of the goods and services sold by the integrated companies as part of their normal operations, after elimination of intra-group sales.
Returns, discounts and rebates are recorded over the accounting period for underlying sales and are deducted from revenue. These amounts are calculated as follows:
- provisions for rebates related to the achievement of objectives are measured and recognized at the time of the corresponding sales;
- provisions for product returns are calculated based on management's best estimate of the amount of products that will eventually be returned by customers. Provisions for returns are estimated based on past experience with returns, but also on items such as: inventory levels in the various distribution channels, product expiration dates, and information on the potential discontinuation of products. In each case, provisions are regularly reviewed and updated based on the most recent information at management's disposal.
Other income accounted for into our accounts consists mainly of license fees. Each contract is subject to specific analysis in order to identify the performance obligations and to determine the progress of each one of them towards achievement at the closing date of our consolidated accounts, and revenue is recognized accordingly.
Employee costs
Employee costs mainly include the cost of retirement plans. In accordance with the revised IAS 19 standard, actuarial differences are recorded in the other items of the comprehensive income.
They also include optional and compulsory profit-sharing.
Taxes and duties
We have opted for a classification of the business value added contribution/tax in the "Taxes and duties" item of the operating profit.
Operating profit
Operating profit corresponds to income from ordinary activities, minus operating expenses.
Operating expenses include:
- purchases consumed and external costs;
- employee costs;
- taxes and duties;
- depreciations and provisions;
- other operating income and expenses.
Operating items also include tax credits that may qualify for government grants and that meet the IAS 20 criteria (relates primarily to the research tax credit).
VIRBAC FINANCIAL REPORT
CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
Current operating profit, before depreciation of assets arising from acquisitions
In order to provide a clearer picture of our economic performance, we use the current operating profit before depreciation of assets arising from acquisitions, as the main indicator of performance. To this end, we isolate the impact of the depreciation of intangible assets resulting from acquisition transactions. Indeed, these have a material effect considering the latest external growth that took place through recent acquisitions.
Operating profit from ordinary activities
Operating profit from ordinary activities corresponds to operating profit, excluding the impact of other non-current income and expenses.
Other non-current income and expenses
Other non-current income and expenses are non-recurring income and expenses, or income and expenses resulting from non-recurring decisions or operations for an unusual amount. They are presented on a separate line in the income statement in order to make it easier to read and understand current operational performance.
They mainly include the following items which, where appropriate, are described in a note to the consolidated financial statements (note A26):
- restructuring costs where material;
- impairment or scrapping of assets where material according to quantitative criteria;
- the effect of revaluing inventories acquired as part of a business combination at fair value;
- the disposals of assets of significant value;
- any revaluation of the participation in a subsidiary previously held, in the event of a change in control;
- profits or costs incurred by the acquisition or sale of an asset, where material according to quantitative criteria (unless a specific treatment is set for by an applicable standard).
Net result from ordinary activities
Net profit from ordinary activities represent the net profit restated for the following items:
- the "Other non-current income and expenses" line;
- non-current tax, which includes the tax impact of "Other non-current income and expenses", as well as all non-recurring tax income and expenses.
Financial income and expenses
Financial expenses mainly include interest paid for the Group's financing, interests on lease liabilities, negative changes in the fair value of financial instruments recognized in the income statement, as well as realized and unrealized foreign exchange losses.
Financial income includes interest income, positive changes in the fair value of financial instruments recognized in the income statement, realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains, as well as gains and losses on disposal of financial assets.
Earnings per share
The net earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net result attributable to the shareholders of the parent company by the weighted average number of shares issued and outstanding at the end of each reporting period (that is, net of treasury shares). Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net earnings attributable to the shareholders of the parent company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, plus, in the event of the issue of dilutive instruments, the maximum number of shares that could be issued (upon conversion into ordinary shares of Virbac equity instruments, thereby giving deferred access to Virbac capital).
Main sources of uncertainty relating to estimations
Our consolidated financial statements have been established in accordance with international accounting standards, and include a number of estimates and assumptions considered as realistic and reasonable.
Certain facts and circumstances could lead to changes in estimates and assumptions, which could affect the value of assets, liabilities, equity and Group results.
Acquisition prices
Some acquisition contracts relating to business combinations or the purchase of intangible assets, include a clause that could impact the acquisition price, based on the financial performance, the success or failure of a Marketing authorization, or the outcome of clinical trials.
We estimate accordingly the acquisition price at the end of the fiscal year, based on the most realistic assumptions in relation to the achievement of these objectives.
Goodwill and other intangible assets
We own intangible assets that were purchased or acquired through business combinations, in addition to the resulting goodwill. As indicated in the section "Accounting policies and methods", we perform at least an annual impairment test of goodwill, intangible assets in progress and assets with an indefinite life, based on an assessment of future cash flows incremented by a terminal value. Valuations carried out during the goodwill impairment tests are sensitive to the assumptions
VIRBAC FINANCIAL REPORT 2025
CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
used in regards not only to the selling price and future costs, but also to the discount and infinite growth rates. Sensitivity calculations for measuring our exposure to significant variations in these assumptions are performed.
In the future, we may have to depreciate these goodwill items and other intangible assets in the event of a deterioration in the outlook for the return of these assets, based on the result of the impairment tests of one of these assets.
As of December 31, 2025, the net total goodwill was €356,055 thousand and the value of the intangible assets was €231,080 thousand.
Deferred taxes
Deferred tax assets are recognized on deductible temporary differences between tax and accounting values of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets, and in particular those relating to tax loss carryforwards, are recognized only if it is probable, in line of IAS 12, that sufficient future taxable profits will be available within a reasonable period of time, which involves a significant amount of judgment.
At each balance sheet date, we analyze the origin of losses for each of the tax entities in question and re-measure the amount of deferred tax assets based on the likelihood of making sufficient taxable profits in the future.
Provisions for pension schemes and other post-employment benefits
As indicated in note A15, the Group has established retirement plans as well as other post-employment benefits.
The corresponding commitments were calculated using actuarial methods that take into account certain assumptions such as the benchmark salary for scheme beneficiaries and the likelihood of the persons in question being able to benefit from the scheme, and the discount rate. These assumptions are updated at each year-end. Actuarial differences are immediately recognized in the other items of the comprehensive income.
The net amount of commitment relating to employee benefits was €21,153 thousand as at December 31, 2025.
Other provisions
Other provisions mainly relate to miscellaneous commercial and social liabilities and disputes.
No provisions are established if the company deems that the liabilities are contingent (as defined by IAS 37).
As at December 31, 2025, the amount of other provisions was €9,272 thousand.
Uncertain tax positions
Ifric 23 requires the valuation and recognition of tax liabilities and tax assets in the balance sheet on the basis of uncertain tax positions. The standard creates a 100% risk of detection and introduces the following methods: the most likely amount or mathematical expectation corresponding to the weighted average of the various assumptions.
Our analysis of the new tax risks identified during the year, as well as those previously accrued in accordance with IAS 37 and IAS 12, and re-evaluated at the closing date, led to the determination of a tax liability of €9.0 million in our accounts as of December 31, 2025.

The change in this position is explained by:
- the acquisition of Thyronorm for €112.4 million;
- the completion of Mopsan's goodwill, acquired on December 2, 2024, in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 3 allowing a period of twelve months to finalize the acquisition accounting in the event of new items available since the acquisition date (-€4.1 million);
- conversion gains and losses for -€28.9 million.
Business combination
Acquisition of Thyronorm
On December 16, 2025, the Virbac Group finalized the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Norbrook Licences Ltd (renamed Virbac NI Ltd), based in Northern Ireland, an entity holding the rights, patents, and all intellectual property related to Thyronorm, an innovative medication for feline hyperthyroidism, a condition affecting more than 10% of senior cats (a product representing approximately €15 million in annual sales). This addition complements the existing portfolio and allows Virbac to strengthen its leading position in the companion animal segment.
The Group concluded that the acquisition of Norbrook Licences Ltd constitutes a business combination within the meaning of IFRS 3, and more specifically in line with paragraphs B12.C and B12.D.
Indeed, the acquired assets include:
- critical resources, or "inputs," consisting, among other things, of intellectual property;
- substantial processes, notably through a manufacturing contract coupled with a quality management contract, granting Virbac direct oversight, audit rights, and control over pharmacovigilance standards. These processes are considered substantial (IFRS 3.B12.D) because they could not be replaced without significant cost or a lengthy delay (technology transfer) that would interrupt revenue generation;
- thus, these substantial resources and processes have the capacity to contribute to the creation of future revenues ("outputs"), thereby meeting the criteria of paragraph IFRS 3.B12C.
As the acquisition took place on December 16, 2025, the allocation of the purchase price is underway at the balance sheet date, and the goodwill recognized in the Group's financial statements is therefore provisional.

The purchase price consists of an initial payment of €95.7 million, a deferred payment of €11.4 million payable in two installments after eighteen and twenty-four months, and an additional payment of €5.7 million recorded in the accounts. The €11.4 million payment was deposited into an escrow account at the time of the acquisition.
This entity generated revenue of approximately €742 thousand for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, with net income of approximately €223 thousand. Revenue from third parties and net profit since the acquisition date are negligible.
Acquisition of Mopsan
On December 2, 2024 we finalized the acquisition of Turkish company Mopsan, specialized in the distribution of petfood and companion animal health products.
With a population of more than 4 million cats, 1.3 million healthcare dogs and more than 5,000 veterinarian clinics serving companion animals, Türkiye is one of the key European markets for Virbac, which has been present in Türkiye for more than 20 years through various local distributors, and has had its own subsidiary since 2018.
The acquisition of Mopsan, our distributor of products for companion animals, represents a new step for Virbac's development in Türkiye. Mopsan has been working alongside Turkish veterinarians for over 30 years and has extensive experience in the petfood and companion animal healthcare product sector. Virbac will benefit from its extensive distribution network, in-depth knowledge of the local market and an experienced team.
The company is based in Istanbul and employs nearly 50 employees.
This transaction meets the criteria for a business combination as defined by IFRS 3 and has therefore been accounted for accordingly. Given the transaction date, the purchase price allocation could not be finalized for the 2024 annual closing. The fair value measurement of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities performed during the first half of the year is detailed below and results in the recognition of a final goodwill of €3.6 million.

The other intangible assets relate essentially to IT projects, in several of the Group's subsidiaries. They all have defined useful lives. The "Transfers" line materializes the commissioning of these projects.
The decrease in intangible assets over the period is mainly attributable to foreign exchange translation differences of -€21.6 million. Excluding these exchange differences, the main variations in gross value relate to the review of Mopsan's intangible assets following the finalization of the PPA (Purchase Price Allocation) for +€4.0 million. The rest of the increase is linked to investments in IT projects, particularly at Virbac in France (parent company) and to R&D investments relating to new licensing contracts.
The outflows mainly come from the derecognition of assets that were fully amortized or depreciated in previous financial years and which no longer generate an inflow of resources for the Group.
Concessions, patents, licenses and brands
The item "Concessions, patents, licenses and brands" includes:
- rights relating to the patents, know-how and Marketing authorizations necessary for the Group's production activities and commercialization procedures;
- trademarks;
- distribution rights, customer files and other rights to intangible assets.
It consists primarily of intangible assets arising from acquisitions, which are accounted for in accordance with IAS 38, as well as assets acquired as part of external growth transactions, as defined by IFRS 3.

The classification of intangible assets, based on the estimated useful life, is the result of the analysis of all relevant economic and legal factors, to conclude on whether or not there is a foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate net cash inflows for the entity.
Innovative or differentiated products in general, and vaccines and other assets from biotechnologies in particular, are generally classified as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, once a detailed analysis has been conducted and experts have given their opinions on their potential. This approach is based on Virbac's past experience.

A3. Impairment of assets
At the end of the 2025 financial year, we have conducted intangible assets impairment tests. These involve comparing their net carrying amount, including acquisition goodwill, to the recoverable amount of each Cash-generating unit (CGU).
A fair value assessment of assets acquired during the financial year is conducted on the date of acquisition.
CGUs are homogeneous groups of assets whose continued use generates cash inflows that are substantially independent of cash inflows generated by other groups of assets.
The net carrying amount of the CGUs includes acquisition goodwill, tangible and intangible assets as well as other assets and liabilities that can be directly assigned to the CGUs and that contribute directly to the generation of future cash flows.
CGUs recoverable amount is determined using the value in use. This is based on estimates of future discounted cash-flows positions, commonly known as the Discounted cash flow (DCF) method.
Future cash flows are flows net of tax and are valued based on cash flow forecasts consistent with the budget and the latest mid-term estimates (business plans).
All business plans are validated by our subsidiaries' management as well as by the Group's Financial Affairs department. The board of directors formally validates the business plans and main assumptions of impairment tests of the most significant CGUs.
Beyond the finite horizon for forecasting future cash flows set at five years for all the CGUs, an infinite growth rate is applied to the terminal value.
We have considered a zero infinite growth rate for MA and patents. The infinite growth rate was set up at 2% for subsidiaries based in mature markets such as Europe, Australia, Japan and New Zealand, except for North America, Uruguay, Colombia and Republic South Africa where we used a rate of 2.5%, consistent with the country's long-term inflation rate, at 3.5% for Chile and at 5% for emerging markets such as India.
The discount rates used for these calculations are based on the average weighted cost of capital estimated for each of the Group's cash-generating units. These are after-tax discount rates, determined by region or country (applied to after-tax cash flows) and are prepared with the support of a valuation firm.
For the 2025 financial year, the discount rates used are the following:
- 9.35% for the United States;
- 8.95% for Europe, except for Türkiye, where the rate used is 13.45%;
- 9.80% for Chile and 9.25% for the rest of Latin America;
- 9.45% for India;
- 8.55% for Far East Asia, except for Japan, where the rate used is 6.80%;
- 8.15% for Pacific and South Africa.
VIRBAC FINANCIAL REPORT 2025
CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
Sensitivity tests
We have also performed sensitivity analyses on key assumptions for all of the tested CGUs. Changes in assumptions are as follows:
- increase of +2.0 points in the discount rate, except for Japan, where the sensitivity test was performed using a 1-point increase in the discount rate;
- decrease of -2.0 points in the infinite growth rate.
These two variations in key assumptions would not result in any impairment of the assets tested except for the Chilean CGU, for which the increase of +2 points in WACC would result in an impairment of €5.7 million and a 2 points increase in the discount rate would result in an impairment of €12.6 million.
The two CGUs most sensitive to these sensitivity analyses are Chile and Taiwan.
Furthermore, for the five most significant CGUs, namely Japan, the United States, Chile, India and New Zealand (representing 59% of the gross value of intangible assets and goodwill as of December 31, 2025), we have carried out additional sensitivity tests by changing the Ebit ratio after tax on revenue, by more or less 2 points compared to the basis scenario.
Assuming a drop of -2.0 points in this ratio, it would be appropriate to depreciate the Chile CGU by €9.6 million.
The changes in this ratio to reach the break-even point, at constant discount rates and terminal growth rates, would be as follows:
- -8.6-point change for the Japan CGU;
- -8.6- point change for the United-States CGU;
- -1.9-point change for the Chile CGU;
- -31.9-point change for the India CGU;
- -21.6-point change for the New Zealand CGU.
We also conduct additional sensitivity analyses based on the break-even point for all of the tested CGUs. The break-even point refers to the discount rate, combined with a zero perpetual growth rate, on the basis of which Virbac would have to record an impairment.
For the major CGUs, the results of the break-even point are presented below.

A7. Information about IFRS 12
Information about non-controlling interests
Since the acquisition of the non-controlling interests of the company Holding Salud Animal (HSA) during 2021 second semester, increasing hence our ownership to 100% in all Chile's entities, and the acquisition of the non-controlling interests of Globion on June 21, 2024 (see note A1), the portion of non-controlling interests in our equity remains insignificant, as most of the fully consolidated entities are wholly owned. The following entities mainly contribute to the non-controlling interests:
- Pharma 8 Llc: entered into the consolidation scope during the 2022 financial year, this company carries our farm animal activities in the United States. This is not material;
- Kyoto Biken Hanoi Laboratories: part of Sasaeah Group acquired in 2024 (see note A1), this entity based in Vietnam exclusively sources Kyoto Biken in Japan for the production of vaccines.
Overall, the impacts of these two entities on the Group's consolidated equity offset each other. Indeed, the negative impact of Pharma 8 Llc is neutralized by the positive impact of Kyoto Biken Hanoi Laboratories, making their overall net contribution insignificant at the Group level.
Information about equity-accounted companies

In line with IFRS 12, companies consolidated through equity method are not considered material to our financial statements, therefore information disclosed is limited to aforementioned items.
It should be noted that one of the entities within the AVF group was liquidated in May 2025. This event did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements (see note A40).

Most tax loss carry forwards are carried forward indefinitely. They may only be used by the subsidiaries that generated the corresponding tax losses.
Non-capitalized tax losses
In addition, the amount of non-capitalized tax losses as of December 31, 2025 amounts to €68.9 million (compared to €52 million as of December 31, 2024), mainly resulting from our subsidiary Virbac Corporation in the United States on the one hand, Virbac Trading (Shangai) and Virbac Taiwan on the other hand, whose main focus is on research and development activities.

Excluding the impact of foreign exchange (€21.9 million), gross inventories increased by €5.5 million, a rise relative to business activity, although very moderate, and was offset by net write-downs of €9.8 million for the year.
The main changes in gross value were observed in the United States, in anticipation of new product launches, and to a lesser extent in India, Brazil, Japan, and Mexico. In Australia, however, inventories decreased due to high levels at the end of last year, in anticipation of sales of certain products in early 2025.
The relative increase in provisions reflects the consideration of short expiration dates for certain products.
Furthermore, changes in the scope of consolidation amounted to €0.9 million, due to €0.5 million from the acquisition of Virbac NI (Thyronorm) and €0.4 million from hyperinflation in Türkiye.
In terms of ratio, inventories decreased by 2.5 percentage points of sales at actual exchange rates, settling at 26.4% of sales. A similar decrease (-2.5%) was observed at constant exchange rates and scope, reaching 24.5%.

The net trade receivables item is up by €15.7 million, excluding foreign exchange effects.
Excluding currency and scope impacts, the €15.7 million increase is driven by the commercial momentum of Virbac in the United Kingdom, Australia and of Virbac Nutrition at the end of the financial year compared to the end of 2024. This is in addition to the sales growth of Virbac in France and Mexico. This increase is partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable in the United States, Japan, and Chile, due to a timing difference in cash receipts.
Derecognized receivables, as they are transferred under factoring agreements, amounted to €10.6 million as of December 31, 2025 (compared to €9.0 million as of December 31, 2024). This increase primarily concerns Italy and Spain.
Receivables represent 5.4% of revenue at constant scope, compared to 5.8% of revenue (excluding Sasaeah) as of December 31, 2024.

The net decrease in this item is -€1.8 million, excluding the effect of foreign exchange impact. This change is mainly due to the joint effects:
- of the decrease in other receivables from the State for -€1.6 million mainly related to the decrease in receivables in Mexico for €4.5 million offset by the increase in VAT receivable at the parent company (+€2.0 million);
- of the decrease in income tax receivables of -€1.5 million, mainly linked to the utilization of tax credits in Brazil (-€3.2 million);
- of the increase in other miscellaneous receivables of +€0.8 million mainly in the parent company.
The other changes are individually immaterial.

The decrease in marketable securities is mainly related to the distribution of dividends by one of our subsidiaries to the parent company.
Bank overdrafts correspond to the overdraft lines negotiated but not confirmed by our banks.
The variation of €5.0 thousand carried over in "Changes in scope" is mainly related to the acquisition of Virbac NI in December 2025 (see note A1).

Capital management policy
Within the framework of capital management, the Group aims to preserve the continuity of operations, to provide a return to shareholders, to procure the advantages from other partners and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group can:
- adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders;
- return capital to shareholders;
- issue new shares; or
- sell assets to reduce the total debts.
The Group uses various indicators, one of which is financial leverage (net debt/equity), which provides investors with a vision of debt for the Group comparative to the total equity. In particular, this equity includes the reserve for variations in the value of cash position flows.
VIRBAC FINANCIAL REPORT

Treasury shares
Virbac holds treasury shares with no voting rights which are intended to supply the allocation of performance-related stock grants. The amount of these treasury shares is posted as a reduction in equity.
Shares with double voting rights
Double voting rights are granted to all shareholders whose shares have been registered in their name for at least two years. Of the 8,390,660 shares making up the share capital, 4,313,936 have double voting rights.
Share buyback program
The June 19, 2025 ordinary shareholders' meeting authorized the Virbac parent company to buy back its treasury shares in accordance with article L22-10-62 et seq. of the French commercial code.
As of December 31, 2025, Virbac owned a total of 12,836 treasury shares acquired on the market for a total amount of €3,121,434 excluding costs, that is, an average cost of €243.18 per share.
The 2022 performance plan expired during the year and was allocated to the employees concerned based on the previously established performance criteria. A new performance plan was created over the financial year (see note A35).
Our liquidity contract was suspended from February 1, 2023 until June 30, 2024 and then closed on this date. No shares were purchased or disposed of by the company in connection with this during the financial year.
Treasury shares as of December 31, 2025 represent 0.15% of Virbac's capital. They are exclusively intended for the allocation of performance shares.
A resolution will be submitted for the approval of the next shareholders' meeting authorizing the company to buy back up to 10% of the capital. Shares may be acquired with a view to:
- ensuring liquidity or supporting the market price via an independent investment services provider pursuant to a liquidity contract in accordance with AMF (French financial market authority) regulations;
- allocating performance-related stock grants;
- reducing the company's share capital by cancelling all or part of the shares purchased, subject to the adoption by the ordinary shareholder's meeting of the resolution for authorizing a reduction in the share capital by cancelling repurchased shares.
The maximum unit purchase price may not exceed €1,000 per share. When calculating the maximum number of shares, shares already purchased under the aforementioned prior authorizations will be included, together with those that could be purchased under the liquidity agreement.
A15. Employee benefits
The commitments related to employee benefit schemes are calculated using the projected unit credit method. Future commitments are subject to a provision for expenses.
Where a commitment is pre-financed by payments into a fund, the provision corresponds to the difference between the total commitment at the closing date and the amount of the hedging asset. The hedging asset is made up of the amount of the fund plus the investment income and any contributions paid during the year.

¹the debt accumulated by Kyoto Biken Laboratories amounts to €6,197 thousand. This actuarial debt is covered by a hedging asset amounting to €13,909 thousand. The surplus of €7,712 thousand is reported in note A6 "Other financial assets"
The main equity impacts primarily concern:
- France due to the updating of the data resulting in a loss of experience of €189 thousand, the increase in the discount rate resulting in a gain of €843 thousand, and the updating of the retirement age resulting in a loss of €1,446 thousand;
- Japan, where an actuarial gain is recognized, partly linked to the updating of the discount rate, and partly linked to the return of the hedging asset over the period.
The amount of €1,104 thousand of transfers to Japan corresponds to the debt corresponds to all movements for the 2025 fiscal year, including the annual contribution, variations recognized in equity, and benefits paid.
Main commitments
The main existing employee benefit plans are the ones of France, Japan, Australia, Taiwan. As of December 31, 2025, they contributed respectively for 59%, 8%, 7%, 6% and 5% of the total provisions for employee benefit plans.

VIRBAC FINANCIAL REPORT
CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
Defined-benefit retirement plans
Japan
- Virbac Japan: the scheme results in payments in the form of capital. To qualify, employees must have at least two years of seniority in the company on the closing date. The amount of capital is calculated from the base salary multiplied by a coefficient based on years of service;
- Kyoto Biken Laboratories plan: employees must have at least three years of service to be eligible for retirement benefits (three years or more for lump sum capital, and ten years or more for pension). Benefits are based on the annual accumulation of monthly salary multiplied by a coefficient depending on the years of service completed on April 1.
Medical coverage
South Africa
The program implemented by Virbac South Africa stipulates that the company is responsible for handling the contributions paid by retired employees who wish to enroll in voluntary medical insurance.
The eligibility condition is that the employee must have joined the company before April 30, 1995.
The insurance contribution paid by Virbac South Africa is between 50% and 100%, depending on the level of coverage chosen by the beneficiary. In the event that the beneficiary should die, his or her legal successors continue to benefit from the Virbac South Africa holding under certain conditions.
Because the scheme is not restricted only to Virbac South Africa employees, it has been valued based on contributions paid by Virbac South Africa, restated to reflect the inflation rate for medical costs.
Long-service leave
Australia
In accordance with regulations in Australia, Virbac grants employees long-service leave in line with their compensation and years of service. Each employee is entitled to two months' leave after ten years' service, which is acquired as follows:
- if the employee is dismissed after five to ten years' service, he/she is entitled to his/her proportionate share of the acquired rights;
- if the employee leaves the company for any other reason after five to ten years of service, they have no entitlements;
- if the employee leaves the company, for whatever reason, after ten years of service, he/she is entitled to his/her proportionate share of the acquired rights.
The provision is calculated as the sum of the individual rights, calculated pro rata for the ratio of the employee's years of service at the closing date to the years of service for full rights.

Decreases correspond to early terminations with no cash impact.
The increase in debt liabilities stems essentially from the new contracts or extensions of contracts relating to the fleet of vehicles, as well as lease obligations related to real estate contracts mentioned in note A5.

Changes in debt over the year
As of the end of December 2025, our net debt stood at €172.8 million, a slight increase of €4.3 million compared to the previous fiscal year. This contained evolution resulted from two combining factors: on one hand, the settlement in December 2025 of the acquisition of Thyronorm during the period, and on the other hand, solid operating cash flow generation which absorbed the bulk of this investment while funding a sustained capital expenditure (Capex) program aimed at improving and increasing our production capacities.
Our borrowings decreased by nearly €17 million.
VIRBAC FINANCIAL REPORT
During 2025, we repaid the final investors of our Schuldschein private placement, thereby closing 10-year maturity commitments.
In June, to facilitate the issuance of comfort letters guaranteeing two new financings for our subsidiaries, we obtained unanimous approval from our banking pool to raise the contractual ceiling for personal securities (guarantees, endorsements, and sureties) provided for in our syndicated credit agreement. It should be noted that this credit line includes ESG‐linked commitments, reflecting our long‐standing dedication to environmental preservation and animal ethics. The negotiation of these clauses ensures access to controlled financial conditions and supports our needs in line with our development. The applicable credit margin is adjustable based on the annual financial ratio and, to a lesser extent, the annual results of three ESG performance indicators already monitored within our CSR policy.
This summer, we entered into new bank financing agreements. In the United States, our subsidiary Virbac Corporation increased its credit line to US $30 million, replacing the previous US $7 million facility.
Meanwhile, in Japan, Sasaeah Holding raised 14 billion yen to refinance intra‐group debt, which had been granted during the company's acquisition to settle its local bank loan.
Therefore, in order to ensure our liquidity, the main sources of bank financing available to us and their characteristics are as follows: a syndicated loan of €350 million, at variable rate, repayable in fine in October 2028 after being extended by two years, with a so‐called “accordion” clause to increase funding by €100 million and which includes commitments in connection with our CSR policy;financing contracts with Bpifrance, for €7.4 million, that can be amortized and that mature in July 2027 and June 2032;non‐recourse factoring contracts in the United States and in Europe for US $15 million and €30 million respectively;unconfirmed credit lines in the United States for US $60 million (approx. €51 million);financings in Japan for 14 billion yen (approx. €76 million), including 7 billion yen unconfirmed and 7 billion yen maturing in July 2028, both at floating rates;factoring contracts with recourse and export loans for US $32.6 million (i.e. approximately €27.7 million) in Chile;a loan for CLP 24.3 billion in Chile (i.e. approximately €23.6 million) in Chile, at a floating rate, maturing in March 2026.;
As of December 31, 2025, the funding position, which amounts to nearly €249 million, is as follows: the syndicated loan was drawn for €104 million;the Bpifrance financing amounted to €7.4 million;non‐recourse factoring lines are mobilized in Europe for an amount of €7.4 million;financings in Japan amount to 14 billion yen (approx. €76 million);various financing lines in Chile are drawn at 38.2 billion Chilean pesos (approx. €36.1 million);credit lines for our U.S. subsidiary are drawn at US $30 million (approx. €25.5 million).
The financing agreements of the parent company include a financial covenant compliance clause that requires us to comply with an annual financial ratio based on the consolidated accounts, corresponding to the consolidated net debt for the period over the consolidated Ebitda.
As at December 31, 2025, we comply with the financial ratio clauses, which is 0.51 and therefore below the contractual financial covenant limit of 3.75.
For the purpose of calculating the covenant, consolidated net debt refers to the sum of other current and non‐current financial liabilities, namely the following items: loans, bank loans, accrued interest liabilities, liabilities related to leases, profit sharing, interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives, and others; minus the amount of the following items: cash and cash equivalents, term deposits, and foreign exchange and interest rate assets derivatives as shown in the consolidated accounts under the contractual definition, consolidated Ebitda refers to operating profit for the period under review, plus the allowances for depreciation and provisions, net of reversals, and dividends received from non‐consolidated subsidiaries
The company's financing capacity is sufficient to fund its cash requirements.
Other changes observed in the "Other financial liabilities" item
A decrease of €5 million in derivative instruments was also noted, explained by the valuation of the hedge on the receivable in US dollar, which underwent a significant reversal, changing from a liability of over US $5 million in 2024 to an asset of €0.6 million in 2025. This change is the main factor driving the decrease in the passive valuation of derivatives.

| Other payables | 225,112 | 7,545 | 16,066 | -6 | -6,470 | 242,247 |
Other payables increased by €7.5 million, excluding change in scope effects (+€16.1 million) and foreign exchange impact (-€6.5 million). The main changes are shown below.
The increase in "Other non-current receivables" of €10.2 million, excluding currency effects, is primarily due to changes in the scope of consolidation, including:
- the recognition of the additional payment for the acquisition of Virbac NI (Thyronorm) for €11.4 million;
- partially offset by the discounting of the additional payment related to the acquisition of Mopsan for -€1.0 million.
The "Other current receivables" item also increased by €13.4 million, excluding currency effects, mainly due to:
- a decrease in "Income tax liabilities" of -€9.0 million as a result of the payment of the corporate income tax prepayment of the parent company for -€6.0 million;
- other miscellaneous liabilities amount to €120.8 million as of December 31, 2025, representing an increase of €22.9 million (excluding currency effects), including a €5.7 million change in the scope of consolidation related to the additional payment for Virbac NI. Other miscellaneous debts consist mainly of outstanding customer receivables which increased by €16.9 million (see additional information below).
Below table details the type of contrast-related liabilities:

| Customer liabilities | 93,387 | 16,639 | — | — | -1,966 | 108,061 |
Credit notes to be issued arise primarily from changes in transaction pricing, as the majority of the Group's subsidiaries grant customers year-end discounts, the amount of which is contingent on the achievement of sales objectives. The main increases were in France (+€4.7 million), in the United Kingdom (+€4.7 million), in the United States (+€2.9 million) and in Sasaeah (+ €1.9 million), partially offset by a decrease in New Zealand (-€0.4 million).

This item amounted to €170.8 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to €174.6 million at the end of 2024, or a net increase of €4.9 million, excluding foreign exchange effects.
The main variations, excluding the impacts of exchange rates and changes in scope, are observed in France and are mainly explained by the combined effect of:
- the increase in operational expenditure related to the increase in activity;
- investments made to increase our production capacity.
To a lesser extent, the United States and the United Kingdom are also participating in this increase, which is partially offset by a decrease in trade payables in Australia and South Africa.

The expenses presented within the revenue are mainly made up of the following elements:
- amounts paid under commercial cooperation contracts (commercial communication actions, provision of statistics, etc.);
- cost of business operations (including loyalty programs), the amount of which is directly related to the revenue generated.
Provisions for customer returns are calculated using a statistical method, based on historical returns.
Evolution
Revenue reached €1,465 million in 2025, compared to €1,397 million in 2024, representing growth of 4.8%. Excluding currency effects, revenue showed significant growth of 8.7%. At constant exchange rates and scope of consolidation, growth for the year was 7.9%. The acquisition of Sasaeah (in Japan in April 2024) contributed +0.8 percentage points to this growth.

| Consumed purchases | -487,964 | -456,117 | 7.0% |
Consumed purchases increased by 7.0%.
As a percentage of revenue, the gross margin declined slightly by 0.7%, a change explained by a combination of three factors: increased inventory write-offs, a temporary production halt of a Group's antigen for facility maintenance, and a significant negative currency impact during the period, primarily affecting the following currencies: the Mexican peso, the Brazilian real, the Indian rupee, and the Turkish lira.

Although external costs increased in connection with the rise in activity across the Group, they remained relatively stable as a proportion of revenue (+0.4 points); the main variations were noted in the cost items for study costs (related to sustained activity at the R&D level), but also in marketing costs, professional fees, and temporary staff, an evolution directly linked to the activity.

- €0.8 million in scrapping of assets at the parent company;
- a €2.1 million decrease in royalties paid under intellectual property contracts for marketing authorizations (MAs), contracts that have expired or been renegotiated, mainly in France and Australia.
The other changes are individually intangible.

| Other financial income or expenses | -4,337 | -4,554 | -4.8% |
| Financial income and expenses | -8,627 | -9,282 | -5.5% |
The cost of financial debt includes the interest charges on borrowings for €6,720 million, as well as the interests on lease liabilities, which amount to €2,114 thousand as of December 31, 2025.
The decrease in the gross cost of financial debt by -€2.3 million is linked to the decrease in credit line drawdowns and lower interest rates in France and Chile.
The decrease in income from cash and cash equivalents was due to the decrease in investments in one of our subsidiaries during the year following the distribution of dividends to the parent company.
The foreign exchange result for the 2025 financial year is -€4.1 million, compared to -€5.0 million in 2024. This change is explained by two main factors:
- centralized foreign exchange management, for which the net expense increased by more than €2.0 million compared to the previous fiscal year;
- unhedged Chilean peso position: as in the previous two years, though to a lesser extent, the Chilean peso exposure contributed a loss of -€2.2 million to the group's financial result.

The theoretical tax rate considered by the Group is the corporate tax rate in effect in France (including the additional contribution of 3.3%).
The effective tax rate in 2025 is 26.51% compared to 25.48% in 2024.

CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
This increase is explained by a rise in the contribution of entities located in countries where the statutory tax rate is higher than that of the parent entity, notably Japan, Germany, Colombia, Mexico, Australia or New Zealand.
Restated profit before tax
The pre-tax profit and the tax charges have been the subject of the restatements described below in order to determine the effective tax rate for the 2025 financial year.
Adjustment for tax credits
These are the main tax credits recognized into the operating profit from ordinary activities in accordance with IAS 20. The amount corresponds to the research tax credit for French entities, as well as the research tax credit equivalent in Chile, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand.
Adjustment for tax bases related to non-taxable items
This amount mainly includes:
- accounting income or expenses with no tax impact, including in particular permanent differences in entities in France and abroad (-€9.4 million);
- as well as losses incurred by subsidiaries for which no deferred tax assets in connection with their tax loss carryforwards are recognized as of December 31, 2025 (mainly Virbac Shanghai Trading and Chilean holding entities), for a total amount of -€10.5 million.
Tax after restatements
Adjustments to the tax charges are described below.
Neutralizing the adjustments for the tax currently payable
This amount mainly corresponds:
- to neutralizations of tax expenses without any accounting basis (-€1.0 million);
- to withholding tax and Ifric 23 provisions (-€7.6 million).
Neutralizing the adjustments for the deferred tax expense
This amount represents tax expenses or income without any accounting basis, namely the change in the bases or rates of deferred tax assets and liabilities at the beginning of the financial year (change in estimates).
Impact of the new Pillar 2 regulations
As a reminder, the Finance Bill in France for 2024 transposed the European directive concerning global anti-base erosion rules ("GLOBE" rules) and adopted the OECD Pillar 2 model rules. The Group, falling within the scope of the new legislation, performed an assessment of its potential exposure to the new legislation for fiscal year 2025.
This assessment is based on the most recent tax filings, country-by-country reporting and financial statements of the Group's constituent entities. Based on the assessment, as the Group applies the "safe harbour rules" (i.e. de minimis test, the simplified effective tax rates above 16% and the substance test), the Group does not have any exposure to the new legislation for fiscal year 2025.
The Group will reassess the potential exposure on a yearly basis in order to comply with the new requirement, i.e. for the annual closing of fiscal year 2026. The Group is engaged with tax specialists to assist it with applying the new legislation.

A31. Operating segments
In accordance with IFRS 8, we provide information by segment as used internally by the Group executive committee, which is now the Chief operating decision maker (CODM) following the change of governance in December 2020.
Our level of segment information is the geographic sector. The breakdown by geographic area covers seven sectors, according to the place of establishment of our assets:
- Europe;
- Latin America;
- North America;
- Far East Asia;
- Pacific;
- India, Africa & Middle-East.
The Group's operating activities are organized and managed separately, according to the nature of the markets.
The two market segments are companion animals (representing 61% of the sales as at December 31, 2025, that is €889.6 million) and farm animals (representing 39% of the sales as at December 31,2025, that is €575.1 million) but the latter can not be considered as an operating segment for the reasons listed below:
- nature of the products: the majority of the therapeutic segments are common to companion and farm animals (antibiotics, parasiticides, etc.);
- manufacturing operations: the production chains are common to both segments and there is no significant difference in sources of supply;
- customer type or category: the distinction is between the ethical (veterinary) and OTC (Over the counter) sectors;
- internal organization: our management structures are organized by geographic zone. Throughout the Group, there is no management structure based on market segments;
- distribution methods: the main distribution channels depend more on the country than the market segment. In certain cases, the sales forces may be the same for both market segments;
- nature of the regulatory environment: the regulatory bodies governing Marketing authorizations are identical regardless of the segment.
In the information presented below, the sectors therefore correspond to geographic zones (areas where our assets are located). The results for Europe include the head office expenses and a substantial proportion of our research and development expenses.

A32. Financial assets and liabilities
Breakdown of assets and liabilities measured at fair value
In accordance with IFRS 7, "Financial instruments - Disclosures", measurements at fair value of financial assets and liabilities must be classified according to a hierarchy which comprises the following levels:
- level 1: the fair value is based on (unadjusted) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- level 2: the fair value is based on data other than the quoted prices mentioned in level 1, which are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability in question;
- level 3: the fair value is based on inputs relating to the asset or liability which are not based on observable market data, but on internal data.
For financial asset and liability derivatives recognized at fair value, we use measurement techniques involving observable market data (level 2), particularly for interest rate swaps, forward purchases and sales, or foreign currency options. The model incorporates various inputs such as the spot and forward exchange rates or the interest rate curve.
Financial assets
The different asset classes are as follows:

| Financial assets | 351,172 | 14,312 | 2,892 | 368,376 |
Financial assets at amortized cost
The financial assets valued at depreciated cost are non-debt derivative instruments (loans and receivables in particular) whose contractual cash flows consist only of payments representative of the principal and interest on this principal, and whose management model consists of holding the instrument in order to collect the contractual cash flows.
This category includes other loans and receivables as well as deposits and guarantees (which appear in "Other financial assets"), trade receivables (recorded for the initial amount of the invoice after deduction of provisions for impairment) and other operational receivables excluding tax and social security receivables, as well as the cash and cash equivalents with regard to items almost as liquid as cash, such as term deposits with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase, and which are held by leading financial institutions.
The depreciated cost of these assets does not, at the closing date, show a significant difference in relation to their fair value.
Financial assets at fair value through income statement
Interest or exchange rate derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges and financial derivatives not designated as hedges are classified as financial assets at fair value through the income statement.
This category also includes marketable securities acquired by us for sale or redemption in the short term. They are measured at fair value at the balance sheet date, and any fair value changes are recognized in income. The fair values of marketable securities are mainly determined with reference to the market price (buying or selling price as applicable).
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
The following are classified as financial assets at fair value by other comprehensive income: interest rate or exchange rate derivative instruments qualified as hedging of future cash flows and fair value hedges (for the carry forward/backward and time value portion of options). With regards to future flows, these hedging instruments are put in place for future exchange exposures (budget) and for interest on the debt/investment at variable rates.
The transfer to profit or loss takes place when cash flows are realized and therefore upon the fall of the instruments.

As of December 31, 2025, the cost of gross financial indebtedness was €8,834 thousand, compared to €11,119 thousand as of December 31, 2024.
A33. Risk management associated with financial assets and liabilities
Our financial risk management policy is controlled centrally by the Group's Financial Affairs department and in particular its Treasury and Financing department.
Strategies for financing, investment, and interest and exchange rate risk hedging are thus systematically reviewed and monitored by the Financial Affairs department. The operations carried out by our local teams are also managed and monitored by the Group's Treasury and Financing department.
The holding of financial instruments is conducted with the sole purpose of reducing exposure to exchange rate and interest rate risks and has no speculation purpose.
We hold derivative financial instruments only for the purpose of reducing our exposure to rate or exchange risks on our balance sheet items and our firm or highly likely commitments.
When it comes to cash position flow hedging, based on backing and maturities, these flows can occur and affect profit in the current-year or in subsequent years.

Credit risk
Risk factors
Credit risk may arise when we grant credit to customers on payment terms. The risk of insolvency, or even default by some of them, may result in non-payment and thus negatively impact our income statement and net cash position.
Trade receivables are subject to impairment, corresponding to the estimated expected losses, determined by application of an impairment matrix (application of the simplified impairment model provided for by the IFRS 9 standard). This approach consists of applying an impairment rate to the respective debtors ageing categories, based on the history of credit losses, adjusted, if applicable, to take into account elements of a prospective nature.
As of December 31, 2025, the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk was €201,154 thousand, which represents the amount of trade receivables as presented in our consolidated accounts.
The risk on sales between Group companies is not material, to the extent that we ensure that our subsidiaries have the necessary financial structure to honor their liabilities.
Risk management mechanisms
We limit the negative consequences of this type of risk thanks to the very high fragmentation and dispersal of our customers throughout all of the countries in which we operate. Our Treasury department recommends maximum payment terms in accordance with the regulations in force, customary uses, the rating, the limits imposed by credit insurance, and sets the customer credit limits to be applied by each operating entity. The Treasury and Financing department manages and controls these credit aspects for the French entities for which it is directly responsible, and recommends the same practices via guidelines and best practices for the Group. In addition, there is a master credit group insurance contract that benefits or can benefit any of our subsidiaries when this type of risk has been identified.

Counter-party risk
Risk factors
We are exposed to counter-party risk within the context of the contracts and financial instruments which we subscribe to, in the event that the debtor refuses to honor all or part of its commitment or finds itself ultimately unable to do so.
Risk management mechanisms
We pay particular attention to the choice of financial institutions we use, and we are even more critical when it comes to investing available cash.
Nevertheless, we consider our exposure to counter-party risk to be limited, considering the quality of our major counter-parties. In fact, investments are only made with first-class banking entities.
In regards of other financial assets and particularly liquid assets, when possible the cash position surpluses of the subsidiaries are generally pooled by the parent company, which is in charge of managing them centrally, in the form of short-term interest-bearing deposits. We only work with leading banking counter-parties.
Liquidity risk
Risk factors
Liquidity is defined as our capacity to meet our financial payment deadlines as part of our current business and to find new funding sources as needed, so as to maintain a continual balance between our income and expenditures. As part of our operations, our program of recurring investments and active policy of external growth, we are thus exposed to the risk of not being sufficiently liquid to fund our growth and development.
Risk management mechanisms
Our policy of pooling surplus cash positions and funding needs in all areas helps to refine our net position and to optimize the management of investments and funding requirements, thus ensuring our ability to meet our financial commitments and to maintain an optimal level of availability commensurate with our size and needs.
In respect to our specific review of the liquidity risk, we regularly carry out a detailed review of our outstanding amounts, thus ensuring compliance with our financial covenant (debt covenant).
As of December 31, 2025, the ratio amounted to 0.51, which is below the contractual financial covenant threshold of 3.75. This ratio is calculated by taking into account the application of the IFRS 16 standard (see notes A18).
During this same period, we primarily have a €350 million revolving credit line maturing in October 2028, which is drawn for €104 million, unconfirmed lines of credit in the United States for US $60 million used for US $30 million, 14 billion yen in financing lines in Japan fully utilized, factoring contracts with recourse and export loans of US $32.6 million as well as a bank loan of 24.3 billion Chilean pesos, for a total mobilization in Chile amounting to 38.2 billion Chilean pesos.
We also have access to non-recourse factoring programs in the United States and Europe for US $15 million and €30 million respectively, allowing us to be financed up to €7.4 million by December 31, 2025.
With regard to our outlook, our cash position and financial resources are sufficient to fund our cash position requirements.
Fraud risks
Risk factors
We are exposed to cases of internal or external fraud that could result in financial losses and affect our reputation.
Risk management mechanisms
We are committed to strengthening internal control and giving particular importance to making our teams aware of these issues. Our head office teams regularly provide strong guidance and guidelines on this subject. Segregation of duties, as well as a central, regional and local management control mechanism and the appointment of regional controllers help strengthen control and reduce the probability of such practices occurring. Upon acquiring new companies, we integrate them into these mechanisms for the prevention of unethical practices.
We have proceeded with training and roll-out of best practices processes that, among other things, are intended to prevent the risk of fraud.
We have implemented a tool to check the consistency of the bank details/company tax ID number pair to increase our payment chain security through automation of the control process, as well as to protect us from the risk of wire fraud.
Virbac's code of conduct underlines the Group's commitment to pursue our activities in accordance with the law and ethics, and also defines the nature of the relationships we wish to have with our partners.

Market risks
Exchange rate risk
Risk factors
The currency risk arises from the impact of fluctuations in exchange rates on our financial flows when carrying out our activities. Due to our strong international presence, we are exposed to the foreign exchange risk on transactions, and the foreign exchange risk on the conversion of the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries.
We carry out transactions in currencies other than the euro, our reference currency. The exchange rate risk is monitored using dashboards generated by the IT system (ERP). The items are updated based on ad hoc reports.
The majority of our exchange rate risk is centralized on the parent company, which invoices its subsidiaries in their local currency. In the case of sales to countries with exotic currencies, the invoices are denominated in euros or American dollars.
Taking into account our purchases and sales in other currencies, we are exposed to exchange rate risks mainly for the following currencies: US dollar, pound sterling, Swiss franc and various currencies in Asia, the Pacific, and Latin America.
Given our exchange rate risk exposure, currency fluctuations have a significant impact on our income statement, both in terms of conversion and transaction risk.
Risk management mechanisms
In order to protect ourselves against unfavorable variations in the various currencies in which sales, purchases or specific transactions are denominated, our policy is to hedge most of our significant and certain foreign exchange positions (receivables, liabilities, dividends, intra-group loans), as well as our future sales and purchases.
Accordingly, we use various instruments available on the market and generally employ foreign exchange forwards or options.
Derivative financial exchange instruments are presented below, at market value:
| in € thousand | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Fair value hedges | 1,648 | -2,934 |
| Cash flow hedges | 329 | 1,302 |
| Net investment hedges | — | — |
| Derivatives not qualifying for hedges | 158 | 72 |
| Derivative financial exchange instruments | 2,136 | -1,560 |
The derivative instruments held at closure do not all qualify for hedging in the consolidated accounts. In such a case, value variations directly impact the profit for the period.
Interest rate risk
Risk factors
Our income statement may be impacted by the interest rate risk. Indeed, unfavorable rate changes can thus have a negative impact on our financing costs and future financial flows.
Our exposure to interest rate risk results from the fact that our main lines of credit are at variable rates; therefore, the cost of debt may increase in the event of an increase in interest rates.
Our exposure to rate risk is mainly due to the revolving credit line indexed to the Euribor set up at Virbac as well as the credit lines in the United States historically indexed to the Secured overnight financing rate (SOFR) and the loan in Chile indexed to the TAB Nominal (Tasa activa bancaria). As of December 31, 2025, credit lines are mobilized for €104 million in France, US $30 million in the United States, 14 billion yen in Japan and 24.3 billion Chilean pesos in Chile.
The current amount on the credit lines is the following:

| Loans and bank overdrafts | 249,859 | 268,910 |
■ Risk management mechanisms
To manage these risks and optimize the cost of our debt, we monitor developments and market rate expectations, and we limit our exposure by establishing interest rate hedges, with instruments available on the market such as caps or swaps of interest rates (fixed rate) not exceeding the length and value of our actual commitments.
Interest rate derivatives are shown below, at market value:
| in € thousand | 2025 | 2024 |

Specific impacts from hedging exchange rate and interest rate risks
■ Risk factors
The purpose of hedge accounting is to offset the impact of the hedged item and of the hedging instrument in the income statement. In order to qualify for hedge accounting, all hedging relationships must satisfy a series of stringent conditions in terms of documentation, likelihood of occurrence, effectiveness of the hedge and measurement reliability.
■ Risk management mechanisms
We only engage in hedging transactions designed to hedge actual or certain exposure; therefore, we do not create any speculative risk.
Financial derivatives are designated as hedges when the hedging relationship can be demonstrated or documented.
The exchange rate derivatives used for cash flow hedging generally mature within one year at most.

Supply risks
The raw materials used to manufacture our products are supplied by third parties. In certain cases, we also use contract manufacturing organizations or industrial partners who have expertise in or master particular technologies.
As far as possible, we diversify our sources of supply by choosing several suppliers, while ensuring that these various sources embody the characteristics of sufficient quality and reliability.
Nevertheless, there are, for certain supplies or certain technologies, situations where diversification is practically impossible, which can result in a disruption to the supply or pressure on prices.
To limit these risks, we take a broad approach to identifying as many diversified suppliers as possible, and may in certain cases secure our supply chain by acquiring the technologies and capacities we lack and that create an excessive dependency. We also mitigate these risks by implementing the appropriate safety inventory policy.
Whatever solution is adopted, we systematically ensure the sustainability of the source beforehand. Furthermore, we regularly update our mapping of key suppliers, including a review of contracts and an analysis of potential alternative sources.

Each member of the general management has a variable compensation target, which is a percentage of his/her fixed compensation.
The variable compensation for members of the general management is essentially based on the following objectives:
- growth of revenue from ordinary activities;
- growth in operating profit from ordinary activities;
- the Group's cash position and debt management;
- CSR-related targets.
Other benefits
In addition to the various compensation items, general management members enjoy the benefits described below.
Company vehicle
The chief executive officer as well as the deputy chief executive officers receive a company vehicle, in accordance with the policy defined by the compensation committee.
Health insurance plan, maternity benefits, pension and retirement
The chief executive officer and the deputy chief executive officers have the same health insurance, maternity benefits and pension and retirement plans as those provided to all the company's executives, under the same contribution and benefit conditions as those defined for the other company executives.
Unemployment insurance plan
The chief executive officer is covered by the private GSC (unemployment insurance for company's chief executive officers) plan, which is based on the 70-for-one-year formula. The amount of the annual contributions over time shall not exceed €15,000.
The deputy chief executive officers have the same unemployment insurance plan as that provided to the company's employees.
Forced retirement severance pay
The chief executive officer is not entitled to severance pay.
Deputy chief executive officers are not entitled to any additional severance pay, but may be eligible for severance pay under their employment contract.

CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
Non-competition payments
The Board of Directors, at its meeting of June 18, 2025, decided that the chief executive officer will be subject to a non-compete clause, prohibiting him from working directly or indirectly for, holding any corporate office, or otherwise engaging in any activity within any group or company directly or indirectly involved in the research, development, manufacturing, and/or marketing of animal health products, in countries where Virbac has a subsidiary or equity interest.
This non-compete obligation will be limited to a period of eighteen (18) months from the effective date of termination of his corporate office within the company.
In consideration of the non-compete obligation, the chief executive officer will receive monthly compensation, for the entire duration of the non-compete period, equal to eighty (80)% of his gross fixed monthly salary received for the last completed fiscal year of the company (including attendance fees and all other compensation related to his positions within the Virbac Group). This compensation will be capped at six hundred thousand (600,000) euros gross for this eighteen (18) month period. The board of directors reserves the right to waive the requirement for the managing director to comply with this non-compete clause.
Deputy chief executive officers are not subject to any non-competition commitments in connection with their office or their employment contract and are therefore not entitled to receive any non-competition indemnity.
Relocation expenses in Nice covered
The board of directors, at its meeting on June 18, 2025, decided that the company will cover the chief executive officer's relocation expenses as well as the costs associated with setting up a new residence. The company will also cover the cost of furnished accommodation for four months, up to a maximum monthly rent of €2,000.
Performance-related stock grant plans
In accordance with the authorization of the shareholders' meeting, certain employees and managers of Virbac and its subsidiaries have received long-term compensation in the form of performance-related stock grants since 2006. The performance conditions to be met for the acquisition of performance-related stock grants are measured against the internal objectives of consolidated operating profit and the Group's consolidated net debt at the close of the second full financial year following the plan's start date. These elements therefore take into account the Group's performance over more than two financial years.
The performance-related stock grant plans granted to members of the general management for the past five financial years are as follows:
