Press release
Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR

DocMorris accelerates Rx growth to 52 per cent and secures CHF 200 million capital increase through firm underwriting

  • DocMorris grows by 13.4 per cent across all business areas in the first quarter
  • Rx revenue increase by 52.3 per cent
  • TeleClinic enters next scaling phase with over 100 per cent growth
  • Medium-term outlook: EBITDA margin of around 8 per cent; break-even at EBITDA level in the course of 2026 and at free cash flow in the course of 2027
  • Announced capital increase of around CHF 200 million fully underwritten by banking consortium

DocMorris continued to grow in all business areas in the first quarter of 2025. External revenue[1] increased by 13.0 per cent year-on-year, or 13.4 per cent in local currency, to CHF 296.5 million. The Germany segment recorded growth of 13.8 per cent in local currency to CHF 280.1 million. In the Europe segment, revenue increased by 7.6 per cent in local currency to CHF 16.4 million. The number of active customers[2] rose from 10.3 million at the end of December 2024 to 10.5 million at the end of March 2025.

Accelerated Rx growth
Revenue of prescription medicines (Rx) rose by 52.3 per cent in local currency in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the previous year. DocMorris benefits from a loyal customer base with a high order frequency rate and a continuously increasing number of new customers. This demonstrates that the first positive effects of the new advertising campaign are visible, which will support further development. In the current year, DocMorris is targeting accelerated Rx growth of at least 40 per cent compared to the previous year, with sequential growth expected in each quarter. In the non-Rx business[3], the aim is to achieve growth in the high single-digit percentage range.

Continued scaling at TeleClinic
TeleClinic achieved year-on-year revenue growth of over 100 per cent in the first quarter of 2025 with a further increase of the EBITDA margin. DocMorris anticipates continued scaling, with revenue more than doubling this year as profitability continues to rise. In the medium term, DocMorris expects an annual revenue growth in the high double-digit percentage range.

Outlook
DocMorris' goal is sustainable and profitable growth that can be financed from its own free cash flow. Besides exploiting the potential of the Rx business, DocMorris plans to drive profitability in the non-Rx business, with Services (TeleClinic, Retail Media, Marketplace) expected to contribute above-average growth and underlying profitability.

Against this backdrop, DocMorris expects the following for 2025:

  • External revenues growth of more than 10 per cent;
  • Adjusted EBITDA of minus CHF 35 million to minus CHF 55 million (including around CHF 15 million in incremental Rx marketing);
  • Capital expenditure of CHF 35 million to CHF 40 million.

Medium term outlook:

  • Breakeven at EBITDA level in the course of 2026;
  • Positive free cash flow in the course of 2027;
  • External revenue CAGR of around 20 per cent[4];
  • Capital expenditure of around CHF 35 million per year;
  • EBITDA margin of around 8 per cent (as before).

Fully underwritten capital increase of CHF 200 million
The volume of the capital increase is underwritten by a banking syndicate. Further details, including setting of terms, on the rights offering are expected to be communicated in the morning of the Annual General Meeting on 8 May 2025. The proceeds of around CHF 200 million are intended to be used to realise the planned medium-term Rx growth including incremental targeted Rx marketing spend until the free cash flow breakeven point is reached in the course of 2027 and for a potential repayment of the CHF 95 million convertible bond due in September 2026.

DocMorris has today published the necessary proposals to the Annual General Meeting to amend the Articles of Association with the invitation to the Annual General Meeting scheduled for 8 May 2025. The detailed conditions of the capital increase (subscription price of the new shares, subscription ratio, issue volume) will be published on the morning of 8 May 2025, as further explained in the invitation. The capital increase with subscription rights is planned to take place following the Annual General Meeting.
