Half-yearly management report
KEY EVENTS OF THE FIRST HALF OF 2025
Appointment of the new chief executive officer
On June 18, 2025, Virbac's board of directors appointed Paul Martingell 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, will resume his previous roles as Group chief financial officer and deputy chief executive officer as of September 1, 2025.
Effects of US customs duties
During the first half of 2025, the US trade policy regarding customs duties has evolved. We anticipate a moderate impact from the possible increase in customs tariffs in the United States. Indeed, approximately two-thirds of our US revenue in 2025 and nearly 80% by the end of 2026 (due to ongoing industrial projects) are expected to be generated by our local production in the United States. Furthermore, purchases by our US subsidiary of components and raw materials from outside the United States represent approximately €8 million over a full year. Given this, the direct impact of the tariffs (i.e., not taking into account any potential price increases that could offset all or part of these impacts), as assessed to date, is around US \$4 million on a full-year basis.
EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO JUNE 30, 2025
No significant post-closing events occurred during the period.
ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Performance of revenue
For the first half of the year, our revenue reached €738.3 million compared to €702.9 million in June 2024, representing an overall increase of +5.0%. Excluding exchange rate effects, revenue showed a significant increase of +7.8%. The integration of Sasaeah, a company acquired in Japan in April 2024, contributed +2.2 points of growth. At constant exchange rates and scope, organic growth for the first half reached +5.6%, favorably impacted by a concomitant increase in volumes (estimated at ~2.1 points of growth) and prices (estimated at ~3.5 points of growth). It should be noted that the acquisition of Mopsan contributed 0.6 point of growth and was not restated from the constant scope as it was deemed immaterial.

Companion animals
During the first semester, this business line represented 58% of revenue, up 7.1% at constant exchange rates and scope compared with 2024, driven by petfood and speciality products ranges.
Farm animals
During the period, this business line represented 40% of revenue, showing an increase of +5.1% at constant exchange rates and scope, mainly driven by the ruminant sector.
Other business lines
These business lines, which represent 2% of consolidated revenue over half-year 2025, correspond to markets of lesser strategic importance and mainly include the toll manufacturing produced for third parties in the United States and Australia (mainly the sales of Sentinel® Spectrum® to MSD Animal Health).

Performance by geographic areas (at constant rates and perimeter)
in € million
In the first half, Europe recorded a notable growth of +7.1% at constant exchange rates. This performance was supported by all our regions. Western Europe particularly distinguished itself with an increase of +9.4%, thanks notably to the performance of bovine vaccine sales and our dermatology range for companion animals. At the same time, Central and Eastern Europe showed growth of +27.4%, boosted by the petfood segment following the acquisition of Mopsan. France, however, showed relative sales stability, mainly due to a slight decrease in petfood sales over the half-year. North America achieved growth of +5.9% at constant exchange rates and scope, despite a temporary inventory effect observed at our distributors (estimated impact of approximately 5 points of growth). Growth was driven, in particular, by sustained sales momentum for our speciality and dental products for companion animals. Latin America, driven by Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil, in both the companion animal and livestock segments, recorded strong growth of +8.2% at constant exchange rates and scope. This performance was partially offset by a decrease in our aquaculture activities in Chile (-11.2%), mainly linked to the negative dynamic of one of our antiparasitic products facing increased competition. IMEA also showed solid growth of +8.2% at constant exchange rates and scope. This progression was generated by good performance across all areas of the region, particularly in India (+6.8%). Far East Asia experienced growth of +2.8% at constant exchange rates and scope, driven by good growth momentum across all countries in this region, with the exception of Vietnam, which, due to a swine fever epidemic, recorded a decrease in activities of -17.8%. Finally, activity in the Pacific region declined by -7.9% in the first half at constant exchange rates and scope. This decrease is primarily attributable to dynamics in Australia (-11.4% at constant exchange rates and scope, about half of which is explained by inventory effects), offset by sales growth in New Zealand (+7.6% at constant exchange rates and scope). We expect a return to growth in Australia in the second half, favoured by improving market conditions and the normalization of inventory levels at our distributors.

As of June 30, 2025, the gross margin stands at €497.4 million, compared to €482.8 million as of June 30, 2024. Compared with the first half of 2024, the downward trend in the gross margin to sales ratio is explained by two combined factors: an increase in inventory destruction and an unfavorable comparison base effect (the first half of 2024 had experienced a particularly low level of destruction representing only around 30% of the annual total) as well as a strong negative exchange rate impact over the period, mainly on the following currencies: the Mexican peso, the Brazilian real, the Indian rupee, and the Turkish lira.
The €24.6 million increase in current operating expenses is explained by €11.9 million in scope effects related to Sasaeah and Mopsan. At constant scope, current operating expenses rose by €12.7 million. This change is mainly due to external expenses, in particular R&D costs, IT contracts, subcontracting costs, consulting fees and costs, related to the development of the business as well as the various projects underway within the Group. To a lesser extent, the first half was also impacted by a one-off increase in our legal costs (+€1.2 million) related to some ongoing litigation. Finally, it should be noted that the increase in external expenses is also the result of a calendar phasing effect. The first half of 2025 benefited from a pace of expenditure commitments in line with our half-yearly budget forecasts, while the comparison base for 2024 was particularly low due to a shift in certain expenses and projects to the second half of the year.
Personnel expenses also increased, although their share of revenue increased only more moderately, primarily due to the full-year impact of hiring last year to strengthen our workforce, particularly in industrial and commercial functions, as well as the effects of inflation. R&D staff also increased, albeit relatively, in line with our ambition and the Group's research and development projects.
Finally, other operating income increased by €7.5 million. One-third of this increase is attributable to the increase in tax credits within the Group; €1.1 million to the decrease in royalties paid under intellectual property agreements on marketing authorizations, contracts that have ended or been renegotiated, primarily in France and Australia; and €2.2 million to the increase in other current income, primarily in France (related to investment subsidies) and Brazil (resolution of a dispute).
Current operating profit before depreciation of intangible assets arising from acquisitions stands at €135.0 million, compared to €150.4 million as of June 30, 2024. The deterioration of the ratio of current operating profit before depreciation of intangible assets arising from acquisitions to sales is generated by both the erosion of the gross margin to sales ratio and an increase in net expenses (as explained above), but also more generally by the fluctuation of exchange rates over the period.
Operating profit, stands at €132.4 million, compared to €146.7 million as of June 30, 2024, representing a 9.7% decrease at real exchange rates; at constant rates and scope, this indicator amounts to €133.8 million, compared to €140.6 million, a decrease of 5.1%, for the reasons mentioned above, but entirely in line with the activity expected over the period.
Net financial expense increased to €8.5 million, compared to €4.8 million in the first half of 2024, and consisted of a foreign exchange loss of €5.7 million, supplemented by a financial debt cost of €2.8 million. The foreign exchange loss was due to the appreciation of the euro against unhedged exposures, notably to the Chilean peso (-€4.3 million) and, to a lesser extent, to the Mexican peso (-€1.4 million).
The profit attributable to the owners of the parent company amounts to €82.4 million, compared to €94.7 million for the same period in 2024.

Fixed assets decreased by €25.4 million compared to December 31, 2024:
- goodwill decreased by €24.2 million, including €19.8 million in foreign exchange effects, and -€4.4 million related to the finalization of IFRS 3 treatment for Mopsan during the period;
- there was a €13.6 million decrease in net intangible assets, primarily due to exchange rate differences of €15.4 million, partially offset by a net increase of €1.8 million in this item, including +€4.4 million related to the finalization of the accounting for the Mopsan business combination (provisional as of December 31, 2024). See note A2 for further details;
- rights of use decreased by €2.6 million, with no material changes noted during the period.
These changes are partially offset by:
- a €2.6 million increase in property, plant and equipment. Within this item, there was a €36.6 million increase in gross fixed assets, consistent with the current increase in investments within the Group to finance various transformation projects, offset by depreciation and amortization expenses for the period of -€17.1 million and exchange rate effects of -€16.8 million (see note A4 for further details);
- finally, there was an increase in current and non-current financial assets of €12.9 million, linked to changes in hedging instruments over the period.
Working capital items increased by €78 million compared to December 31, 2024:
- trade receivables net of discounts increased by €46.2 million. This change is primarily due, as is the case every year, to a seasonal effect;
- trade payables decreased by €20.6 million, primarily due to the invoicing of suppliers for fixed assets provisioned at the end of December. Trade payables decreased slightly as a proportion of revenue.
This variation is partially offset by:
- an €8.7 million decrease in inventories, mainly due to foreign exchange effects (-€19.5 million); in gross value, the €14.8 million increase was contained and remained below business growth. This positive trend reflects the effectiveness of our inventory management policy and is reflected in a decrease in their weight as a proportion of revenue;
- other working capital items mainly include other miscellaneous receivables and creditors, and amount to €1.7 million, compared to -€18.0 million at December 31, 2024: the change is explained by a decrease in other creditors (excluding end-of-year discounts) of €25.2 million, including €11.9 million of decrease in social security debts, consistent with the payment of profit-sharing and other bonuses provisioned at December 31, 2024, and a foreign exchange effect of €5.8 million. Other changes relate to corporate tax payables and receivables, and other tax payables and receivables which are settled over the period (see notes A11 and A17 for further details).
Equity, Group share, increased in relation to the income for the period.
Finally, net debt increased by €32.9 million over the period and is commented on in the section below.
Financing
For the first half of 2025, our net debt stands at €201.4 million, an increase of €32.9 million compared to December 31, 2024. This increase is due to our seasonal working capital requirements, dividend payments (€12.1 million), and sustained capital expenditures in light of ongoing programs aimed at improving and expanding our production capacity.
In April, we repaid the remaining investors in our market-based contract (Schuldschein), thus closing commitments with a 10-year maturity.
During the month of June, with a view to granting comfort letters to secure two new financing arrangements for our subsidiaries, we obtained unanimous approval from our pool of banks to raise the maximum amount of sureties, endorsements, guarantees, or any other personal security, as set out in our syndicated loan agreement.
At the same time, we signed two new local bank financing agreements:
- the first one for our subsidiary Sasaeah, in Japan, for 7 billion yen, allowing our subsidiary to partially repay its intra-group loan with the parent company granted during the acquisition of the company to settle its local bank loan;
- the second one for our subsidiary Virbac Corporation, in the United States, for US \$30 million, replacing the existing US \$7 million line.
Thus, to ensure our liquidity, the main sources of 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 €8.7 million at fixed rates, depreciable and maturing in July 2027 and June 2032;
- uncommitted credit lines in the United States for US \$60 million (i.e. approximately €51.2 million);
- an uncommitted credit line in Japan for 7 billion yen (approximately €41.4 million);
- factoring contracts with recourse drawable in US\$ and Chilean pesos for US \$29 million (i.e. approximately €24.7 million) in Chile;
- a loan for CLP 24.3 billion (i.e. approximately €24.2 million) in Chile too.
As of June 30, 2025, the funding position, which amounts to just over €284 million, is broken down as follows: • the syndicated loan was drawn for €176 million;
- the Bpifrance financing amounted to €8.7 million;
- 7 billion yen on a line of credit in Japan (approximately €41.4 million);
- the equivalent of CLP 39.8 billion (i.e. approximately €36.2 million) on the various financing lines in Chile;
- US \$26 million (i.e. approximately €22.2 million) in drawdowns on our credit lines in the United States.
Our financing capacity is sufficient to meet our cash flow requirements.
Please note that following the repayment of the market-based contract during the period, we are no longer required to comply with the financial covenant clause at the end of the half-year period.
DESCRIPTION OF KEY RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES FOR THE REMAINING SIX MONTHS OF THE YEAR
The main risk factors to which Virbac is exposed are detailed in the 2024 annual report, available on the web site corporate.virbac.com.
OPERATIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
Information on related parties is detailed in note A30 to the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.
OUTLOOK
We confirm our revenue growth outlook at constant exchange rates and scope of between 4% and 6%. The impact of the Sasaeah acquisition is expected to represent an additional 1 point of growth in 2025. The ratio of "current operating income before amortization of acquired assets" (adjusted EBIT) to revenue is expected to consolidate at the 2024 level at constant scope, i.e., around 16%. This forecast takes into account the continued voluntary increase in our R&D investments as a percentage of revenue, which will represent approximately +0.3 percentage points compared to 2024. In terms of operating income, the impact of the Sasaeah acquisition is expected to be broadly neutral in 2025. As for our cash position, it is expected to improve by €80 million in 2025, excluding potential acquisitions.
We anticipate a moderate impact from the possible increase in customs tariffs in the United States. Indeed, approximately two-thirds of our US revenue in 2025 and nearly 80% by the end of 2026 (due to ongoing industrial projects) are expected to be generated by our local production in the United States. Furthermore, purchases by our US subsidiary of components and raw materials from outside the United States represent approximately €8 million over a full year. Given this, the direct impact of the tariffs (i.e., not taking into account any potential price increases that could offset all or part of these impacts), as assessed to date, is around US \$4 million on a full-year basis.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 1 ère avenue 2065m LID, 06516 Carros. The company is registered in the Grasse Trade and companies register under the number 417350311 RCS Grasse.
Our 2025 condensed consolidated accounts for the first half-year were approved by the board of directors on September 11, 2025.
The explanatory notes below support the presentation and are an integral part of these consolidated accounts.
Key events over the period
Appointment of the new chief executive officer
On June 18, 2025, Virbac's board of directors appointed Paul Martingell 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, will resume his previous roles as Group chief financial officer and deputy chief executive officer as of September 1, 2025.
Effects of US customs duties
During the first half of 2025, the US trade policy regarding customs duties has evolved. We anticipate a moderate impact from the possible increase in customs tariffs in the United States. Approximately two-thirds of our US revenue in 2025 and nearly 80% by the end of 2026 (due to ongoing industrial projects) are expected to be generated by our local production in the United States. Furthermore, purchases by our US subsidiary of components and raw materials from outside the United States represent approximately €8 million over a full year. Given this, the direct impact of the tariffs (i.e., not taking into account any potential price increases that could offset all or part of these impacts), as assessed to date, is around US \$4 million on a full-year basis.
Significant events after the closing date
No significant post-closing events occurred during the period
Accounting principles and methods
Compliance and basis for preparing the consolidated financial statements
The half-year condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with standard IAS 34 "Interim financial reporting", standard of the IFRS (International financial reporting standards) as adopted by the European Union. The condensed interim financial statements do not include the whole information required by the IFRS reference system for year-end accounts. They should be analyzed with regards to the consolidated statements of the previous year, as of December 31, 2024.
With the exception of the standards, amendments or interpretations of application which are compulsory starting from January 1, 2025, the accounting principles used in the preparation of Virbac's half-year condensed financial statements are identical to those used in the preparation of consolidated statements as of December 31, 2024. They have been established in compliance with the IFRS as published by the IASB (International accounting standards board), and with the IFRS as adopted by the European Union as of June 30, 2025.
The standards and interpretations of the IFRS as adopted by the European Union are available on the European Commission's website.
New standards and interpretations
Mandatory standards and interpretations as at January 1, 2025
■ Amendments to IAS 21 - Lack of exchangeability

Consolidation rules applied
Consolidation scope and methods
Pursuant to IFRS 10 "Consolidated financial statements", our consolidated financial statements include all of the entities controlled, directly or indirectly, by Virbac, whatever equity stake 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 capacity 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.
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.
Pursuant to 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 June 30, 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 A31. 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 at closing date. The resulting exchange rate gains and losses are recorded in the income statement.
■ Conversion of foreign company accounts
Pursuant to IAS 21 standard "Effects of changes in foreign exchange rates" standard, 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.
Use of estimations and assumptions
The drawing up of consolidated financial statements implies that the Group makes a number of estimates and assumptions that have a material impact on the value of the assets and liabilities recognized into the statement of financial position, the information related to these assets and liabilities, the expenses and revenues recognized into the profit and loss statement, and the commitments related to the period.
The current global context had no impact on the critical judgements exercised by the Group to apply the accounting methods and the main sources of uncertainty relating to estimations. They are described into the consolidated financial statements of the period closed December 31, 2024.
In addition, for the purposes of the half-year financial information, pursuant to IAS 34, the Group tax charge is calculated on the basis of the effective tax rate estimated for the current fiscal year.
The estimated effective tax rate for the financial year is determined on the basis of the tax rates that will be applicable and the pre-tax profit forecasts of the tax jurisdictions in which Virbac operates.

Change in goodwill by CGU
In addition to the conversion differences, the change in this item is explained by the finalization of works related to Mopsan purchase price acquisition and consequently to the recognition of the final goodwill.
Business combination
On December 2, 2024, we finalized the acquisition of the Turkish company Mopsan, which specializes in the distribution of petfood and pet healthcare products.
With a population of over 4 million cats, 1.3 million medically treated dogs, and more than 5,000 veterinary clinics serving companion animals, Türkiye is a key European market for Virbac. Virbac has been present in this country for over 20 years through various local distributors and has operated its own subsidiary since 2018.
The acquisition of Mopsan, our pet product distributor, represents a new stage in Virbac's development in Türkiye. Having worked alongside Turkish veterinarians for over 30 years, Mopsan possesses extensive experience in the petfood and pet healthcare product sectors. Virbac will benefit from Mopsan's extensive distribution network, indepth knowledge of the local market, and experienced team. The company is based in Istanbul and employs nearly 50 people.
This transaction meets the criteria for a business combination as defined by IFRS 3 and has been accounted for accordingly. Given the date of the transaction, the work of allocating the acquisition price could not be finalized for the closing of the 2024 annual accounts. The fair value measurement of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is detailed below, leading to the recognition of a definitive goodwill of €3.6 million.

- two earn-outs subject to target achievement conditions, expiring after 2027 closing, with a present value of €1.2 million.

As at June 30, 2025
The classification of intangible assets according to useful life results from the analysis of all relevant economic and legal factors, making it possible to conclude 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 founded on Virbac's past experience.
Other intangible assets
The other intangible assets relate essentially to IT projects, in several Group subsidiaries. They all have defined useful lives. The increase in the items "Other intangible assets" and "Intangible assets in progress" is primarily due to investments in IT projects carried out by Virbac (parent company).
The "Transfers" line indicates the commissioning of these projects.
A3. Impairment of assets
In accordance to IAS 36, we perform impairment tests of the assets included in each of our cash generating units, once a year, and independently from the existence of indicators of loss of value.
As part of the preparation of the half-yearly consolidated accounts, we analyze quantitative and qualitative criteria in order to identify possible indicators of loss of value, and carries out impairment tests when these indicators are recognized.
As of June 30, 2025, impairment tests have been carried out and do not lead to any risk of impairment over the period.

In 2025, we will continue to invest in our industrial sites in France to improve and expand our production capacity: investments in France accounted for more than 80% of the increase in property, plant and equipment in the first half of the year.
The other acquisitions are primarily located in the United States, which acquired new industrial equipment to support the growth of our flagship dental product line.
The "Transfers" line represents the commissioning of projects, primarily in France.
Conversion gains and losses impact the item "Tangible fixed assets" for a net amount of €-16.8 million.

The net value of rights of use decreases very slightly over the period (-€2.5 million), the increases being offset by the mechanical action of depreciation for the period and the change effect.
The main increases relate to the renewal of the vehicle fleet across all Group subsidiaries, as well as to real estate contracts, particularly in India, China, and the United States, due to new contracts or revisions to the initial terms of existing contracts (duration or lease amount), as well as to industrial equipment in France and Chile. The decreases primarily concern vehicle leases that have expired.
Allowance for depreciations over the period amounted to €6.5 million.

| Other financial assets | 17,305 | 12,672 | -284 | — | 1,019 | -507 | 30,203 |
Other financial assets increased by €13.4 million in the first half of 2025.
This change primarily relates to Virbac SA's foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives, amounting to €11.8 million. More specifically, it is explained by the favorable exchange rate effect on cross-currency swaps in Japanese yen as well as other foreign exchange instruments (notably the US dollar). The appreciation of the euro against other currencies at the end of June led to an increase in financial assets in the first half of 2025.
The line "loans and other financial receivables" consists largely of a hedging asset on pension obligations in Japan, net of the provision. The transfer column corresponds to the offsetting over the period of the provision and the hedging asset.

The variation in deferred taxes presented above includes, for -€67 thousand, deferred tax on the effective share of profits and losses on hedging instruments recorded in the other elements of the comprehensive income.
The deferred tax liability carried forward as changes in scope of consolidation was generated by the finalization of the Mopsan acquisition price allocation (see note A1).
In accordance with the IAS 12 standard, which requires under certain conditions the offsetting of tax liabilities and receivables, the deferred tax assets and liabilities have been offset by tax entity in the statement of financial position, for €27,767 thousand.

Excluding the currency effect, net inventories increased by €10.8 million, further comprising a €14.7 million increase observed primarily at Sasaeah and Virbac SA, the latter producing for the rest of the Group, and in line with the sustained activity during the first half. This increase was also observed to a lesser extent in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Mexico.
Excluding the currency effect and at constant scope, the inventory-to-sales ratio decreased by 1.6 point (-1.4 point at actual exchange rates).

Excluding the exchange rate effect, net trade receivables increased by €37.0 million. The increase primarily concerns Australia, India, Italy, and the United Kingdom, which account for 73% of the observed rise. The change in this balance sheet item is primarily due to a higher volume of activity generated at the end of the half-year compared to the end of last year.
Note that receivables derecognized due to assignments under factoring contracts amounted to €10.9 million as of June 30, 2025 (compared to €9.0 million as of December 31, 2024), with this change primarily attributable to our Italian subsidiary.

The "Other receivables" item decreased overall by -€3.2 million, excluding conversion gains and losses.
Corporate tax receivables decreased by €3.5 million, particularly in India and Australia, due to the settlement of corporate tax for the 2024 fiscal year. Changes in other tax receivables primarily relate to VAT.
This decrease in "Other receivables" is partially offset by the increase in prepaid expenses, amounting to €1.0 million, mainly in the United States.

Provisions no longer required, whether used pursuant to their initial purpose, or because the risk expired, were reversed over the period.
Contingent liabilities
Virbac and its subsidiaries are sometimes involved in litigation, or other legal proceedings, generally linked to disputes related to intellectual property rights, competition law disputes, and tax matters. Each situation is analyzed in regards to IAS 37 or IFRIC 23, when it involves uncertainties related to tax treatments. No provision is recognized if the company considers that the liability is contingent, and information is given in the notes to the consolidated statements.

Decreases correspond to early terminations with no cash impact.
The increase in debt liabilities stems essentially from the obligations generated by the new contracts relating to the fleet of vehicles together with real estate contracts as mentioned in note A5. However, rental debt is generally down due to payments made on current contracts.

Change in other financial liabilities
In addition to the variations observed in derivative instruments over the period (-€5 million), the main movements over the period relate to borrowings.
For the first half of 2025, our net debt stands at €201.4 million, an increase of €32.9 million compared to December 31, 2024. This increase is due to our seasonal working capital requirements, dividend payments (€12.1 million), and sustained capital expenditures in light of ongoing programs aimed at improving and expanding our production capacity.
In April, we repaid the remaining investors in our market-based contract (Schuldschein), thus closing commitments with a 10-year maturity.
During the month of June, with a view to granting comfort letters to secure two new financing arrangements for our subsidiaries, we obtained unanimous approval from our pool of banks to increase the maximum amount of sureties, endorsements, guarantees, or any other personal security, as set out in our syndicated loan agreement.
At the same time, we signed two new local bank financing agreements:
- the first for our subsidiary Sasaeah, in Japan, for 7 billion yen, allowing our subsidiary to partially repay its intra-group loan with the parent company granted during the acquisition of the company to settle its local bank loan;
- the second for our subsidiary Virbac Corporation, in the United States, for US \$30 million, replacing the existing US \$7 million line.
Thus, to ensure our liquidity, the main sources of 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 €8.7 million at fixed rates, depreciable and maturing in July 2027 and June 2032;
- uncommitted credit lines in the United States for US \$60 million (i.e. approximately €51.2 million);
- an uncommitted credit line in Japan for 7 billion yen (approximately €41.4 million);
- factoring contracts with recourse drawable in US\$ and Chilean pesos for US \$29 million (i.e. approximately €24.7 million) in Chile;
- a loan for CLP 24.3 billion (i.e. approximately €24.2 million) in Chile too.
As of June 30, 2025, the funding position, which amounts to just over €284 million, is broken down as follows:
- the syndicated loan was drawn for €176 million;
- the Bpifrance financing amounted to €8.7 million;
- 7 billion yen on a line of credit in Japan (approximately €41.4 million);
- the equivalent of CLP 39.8 billion (i.e. approximately €36.2 million) on the various financing lines in Chile;
- US \$26 million (i.e. approximately €22.2 million) in drawdowns on our credit lines in the United States.
Our financing capacity is sufficient to meet our cash flow requirements.
Please note that following the repayment of the market-based contract during the period, we are no longer required to comply with the financial covenant clause at the end of the half-year period.

| Other payables | 225,112 | -37,081 | -1,184 | — | -5,808 | 181,039 |
The total "Other payables" item decreased by €38.3 million excluding exchange rate effects, of which -€1.2 million was due to scope changes. The main variations are detailed below.
The "Other miscellaneous debts" line is the main cause of the decrease in the "Other non-current payables" item, and is mainly explained by the recognition of the effects of the discounting of the deferred payment of Mopsan, for -€1.2 million. As explained in note A1, this acquisition, completed in 2024, was the subject of purchase price allocation work finalized in 2025. To a lesser extent, there is also a reclassification of €0.2 million from non-current to current for an earn-out debt relating to the acquisition of our subsidiary in the Czech Republic in 2023.
The "Other current payables" item decreased by €37.0 million (excluding exchange rate effects), mainly related to:
- a decrease in other miscellaneous liabilities of -€18.0 million; this item is largely composed of liabilities entered into under contracts with customers (see details below), which explain €16.9 million of the total change observed, linked to the usual payment of these liabilities in the first part of the year;
- a decrease in social security liabilities of -€11.9 million. As in previous years, the decrease in this item between December and June is mainly explained by the payment of profit-sharing bonuses and other employee bonuses provisioned within the Group at the end of December 2024;
- a decrease in other tax liabilities of -€4.0 million, mainly observed in Japan and Mexico, linked to the shift in payments from December to June;
- a decrease in income tax liabilities of €2.9 million. The change mainly concerns the provision for corporate income tax for 2025 in France for €3.2 million.
The table below details the type of contract-related liabilities:
| in € thousand | 2024.12 | Variations | Changes in scope |
Transfers | Conversion gains and losses |
2025.06 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Advances and prepayments on orders | 853 | -485 | — | — | -69 | 299 |
| Customers - credits to be issued | 92,535 | -16,859 | — | — | -2,047 | 73,630 |
| Customer liabilities | 93,387 | -17,343 | — | — | -2,115 | 73,929 |
Credits and accruals stem primarily from changes in transaction pricing, as the majority of the Group's subsidiaries grant customers year-end rebates, the amount of which is contingent on the achievement of sales objectives. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates, the variation of -€16.9 million corresponds exclusively to the payments of year-end rebates made during the first half of the year in France.
A18. Trade payables
| in € thousand | 2024.12 | Variations | Changes in scope |

This item stands at €154.0 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to €174.6 million at the end of 2024, representing a decrease of -€20.6 million, primarily due to invoicing by suppliers of tangible fixed assets that had been provisioned in December 2024, in connection with investment projects at industrial sites in France. Foreign exchange impacts generated a decrease of -€7.8 million in this item.
A19. Revenue from ordinary activities
| in € thousand | 2025.06 | 2024.06 | Change |

The expenses presented within the revenue are mainly made up of the following elements:
- amounts paid under commercial cooperation contracts (commercial communication actions, supply 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.
Performance
For the first half of the year, our revenue reached €738.3 million compared to €702.9 million in 2024, representing an overall increase of +5.0%. Excluding exchange rate effects, revenue showed a significant increase of +7.8%. The integration of Sasaeah, a company acquired in Japan in April 2024, contributed +2.2 points of growth. At constant exchange rates and scope, organic growth for the first half reached +5.6%, favourably impacted by a concomitant increase in volumes (estimated at ~2.1 points of growth) and prices (estimated at ~3.5 points of growth). It should be noted that the acquisition of Mopsan contributed 0.6 points of growth and was not restated from the constant scope as it was deemed immaterial.
The revenue growth of ordinary activities by segment and region is detailed in the management report.
A20. Purchases consumed

| Net variation in inventories | 10,531 | 25,797 | -59.2% |
| Consumed purchases | -240,856 | -220,118 | 9.4% |
The increase in purchases consumed by +9.4% is in line with the growth in activity. At constant scope, excluding Mopsan in Türkiye and Sasaeah in Japan, the increase in purchases consumed is 8.3%.
A21. External costs
In the first half of 2025, external expenses amount to €131.6 million, compared to €116.0 million at the end of June 2024, which represents an increase of €15.6 million, and €11.3 million at constant scope, as the Sasaeah group companies were acquired on April 1, 2024, and Mopsan on December 1, 2024.
The main changes observed relate to:
- study and research costs, particularly in France and the United States;
- IT maintenance costs for contracts held by the parent company for the Group;
- miscellaneous subcontracting costs (for projects, regulatory requirements, etc.), mainly in France;
- other external expenses, mainly in Japan (scope effect);
- consulting fees and expenses, related to the various projects underway within the Group.

| Depreciations and provisions | -28,037 | -22,669 | 23.7% |
1excluding allowance for depreciations of intangible assets arising from acquisitions
The increase in depreciation and amortization of fixed assets is mainly due to the scope effect on the Sasaeah group (three months of depreciation recognized in June 2024 compared to six months at the end of June 2025), and to a lesser extent, due to the increase in property, plant and equipment observed in France since last year, in connection with investments made at our industrial sites aimed at developing and improving our production facilities. Depreciation and amortization of intangible assets resulting from acquisitions are presented below.
The variation in provisions and reversals is due to reversals of non-recurring provisions made in 2024 for three specific disputes (provisions that became irrelevant in two out of three cases). Furthermore, there was no significant change in provisions for contingencies and charges during the period.
Allowances for depreciation of intangible assets arising from acquisitions
| in € thousand | 2025.06 | 2024.06 |
|---|---|---|
| Centrovet | -623 | -680 |
| Multimin | -211 | -220 |

| Depreciations of intangible assets arising from acquisitions | -2,635 | -1,652 |
A23. Other operating income and expenses
| in € thousand | 2025.06 | 2024.06 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Royalties paid | -863 | -1,986 | -56.5% |
| Grants received (including research tax credit) | 7,646 | 5,165 | 48.0% |
| Allowances for depreciation of receivables | -451 | -502 | -10.2% |
| Reversals of depreciation of receivables | 403 | 610 | -33.9% |
| Bad debts | -106 | -97 | 9.3% |
| Net book value of disposed assets | -97 | -935 | -89.6% |
| Income from disposal of assets | 52 | 96 | -45.8% |
| Other operating income and expenses | 1,068 | -1,119 | -195.4% |
| Other operating income and expenses | 7,652 | 1,231 | 521.6% |
The Other operating income and expenses shows a increase of €6.4 million, which is mainly explained by:
- the increase in tax credits recorded as subsidies, amounting to €7.4 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to €5.1 million in the first half of 2024;
- the increase in other income and expenses of €2.2 million, mainly in Brazil (resolution of a dispute) and in France to a lesser extent (investment subsidies);
- the €1.1 million decrease in royalties paid under intellectual property contracts on marketing authorizations, contracts which have ended or been renegotiated, mainly in France and Australia.
Other variations are individually immaterial.
A24. Other non-current income and expenses
As of June 30, 2025, any non-current net expense has been recorded.
As a reminder, as of June 30, 2024, a non-current net expense of €2.0 million had been recorded, consisting of the following elements:
| in € thousand | 2024.06 |
|---|---|
| Sasaeah acquisition expenses | -4,735 |
| Sale of production equipment following Sentinel© divestiture in the United States (purchase option taken by the buyer as set for by the contract) |
2,486 |
| Unused release provision for restructuring in Chile | 201 |
| Non-current income or expenses | -2,048 |
Sasaeah acquisition expenses mainly comprised service fees and commissions.
A25. Financial income and expenses
| in € thousand | 2025.06 | 2024.06 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gross cost of financial debt | -5,002 | -5,965 | 43.7% |
| Income from cash and cash equivalents | 2,241 | 3,501 | -15.1% |
| Net cost of financial debt | -2,761 | -2,464 | 8745.5% |
| Foreign exchange gains and losses | -22,205 | -10,480 | 125.0% |
| Changes in foreign currency derivatives and interest rate | 16,510 | 7,598 | 38.8% |
| Other expenses | -646 | 125 | -168.4% |
| Other income | 610 | 417 | 52.9% |
| Other financial income or expenses | -5,731 | -2,341 | -358.5% |
| Financial income and expenses | -8,492 | -4,806 | -647.5% |
The cost of financial debt increased by €0.3 million. This increase is due to a rise in interest expenses in the Centrovet accounts by €0.5 million and in Virbac Chile by €0.3 million, and a decrease of €1.1 million in cash and cash equivalents income in India.
Other financial income and expenses amounted to -€5.7 million compared to -€2.3 million as of June 30, 2024, mainly due to the depreciation of the Chilean peso, and to a lesser extend, to the Mexican peso, against the euro.
A26. Income tax
Pursuant to IAS 34, in the financial statements at June 30, 2025, the tax charge was determined by applying to the profit before tax for the period the average tax rate estimated for the year 2025.
Impact of Pilar 2 new regulation
As a reminder, the French Finance Act for 2024 transposed the European directive on 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, has assessed its potential exposure to the new legislation for the period ending December 31, 2024.
This assessment is based on the most recent tax returns, the country-by-country report, and the financial statements of the Group's constituent entities.
Based on this assessment, the Group applies the safeguard measures by jurisdiction (i.e., the de minimis test, simplified effective tax rate above 15%, and substance test); the impact of the new legislation is considered zero for the Group for the 2024 fiscal year.
The Group will reassess this impact annually in accordance with legal requirements for the 2025 fiscal year-end. To this end, the Group is supported and assisted by tax experts.
Non-current tax expense
As of June 30, 2025, there is no non-current income tax.
A27. Earnings per share
| 2025.06 | 2024.06 | |

| Weighted average number of shares outstanding, after dilution | 8,379,701 | 8,382,675 |
| Profit attributable to the owners of the parent company, per share | €9.84 | €11.31 |
| Profit attributable to the owners of the parent company, diluted per share | €9.83 | €11.29 |
1 the dilutive impact is linked to performance-related stock grant plans, see note below
Information on performance-related stock grant plans
As quoted in our 2024 annual report, with the authorization of the shareholders' meeting, performance-related stock grants were awarded to certain officers and employees of Virbac and its subsidiaries.
The dilutive impact of the performance-related stock grant plans comes from:
- performance-related stock grants allocated in previous years and not paid up as of June 30, 2025;
- performance-related stock grants newly allocated during the period; and
• movements on treasury shares: Virbac holds its treasury shares primarily intended to feed into the performance-related stock grant plans. The amount of these treasury shares is posted as a reduction in equity. As of June 30, 2025, the number of treasury shares owned by the Group amounts to 12,836 shares (compared to 83,406 as of June 30, 2024 and 16,066 as of December 31, 2024).
A28. 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 six sectors, according to the place of establishment of our assets:
- Europe;
- Latin America;
- North America;
- Far East Asia;
- Pacific;
- India, Africa & Middle East (IMEA).
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 58% of the sales as at June 30, 2025, that is €431.3 million) and farm animals (representing 40% of the sales as at June 30,2025, that is €292.5 million) but the latter is not considered an industry information level 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 procedures: 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 area. 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 market 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.

As of June 30, 2025, the proportion of outstanding receivables compared to the total amount of trade receivables remains stable compared to the previous year-end situation at constant scope and in the context of an increase in trade receivables (see note A10).
We do not anticipate any major recoverability issues for these receivables.

Statutory auditors' review report on the half-yearly financial information
For the period from January 1 to June 30, 2025
This is a free translation into English of the statutory auditors' review report on the half-yearly financial information issued in French and is provided solely for the convenience of English-speaking users. This report includes information relating to the specific verification of information given in the Group's half-yearly management report. This report should be read in conjunction with, and construed in accordance with, French law and professional standards applicable in France.
To the shareholders,
in compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by the annual general meeting and in accordance with the requirements of article L451-1-2-III of the French monetary and financial code (Code monétaire et financier), we hereby report to you on:
- the review of the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of Virbac, for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2025;
- the verification of the information presented in the half-yearly management report.
These condensed half-year consolidated financial statements were prepared under the responsibility of the board of directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.
CONCLUSION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, standard of the IFRS as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.
SPECIFIC VERIFICATION
We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements subject to our review.
We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly condensed consolidated financial statements.
