Press release Medios achieves double-digit growth in 2023 – Positive outlook for 2024 Berlin, March 27, 2024 - Medios AG ("Medios"), the leading provider of specialty pharma solutions in Germany, once again grew strongly in the 2023 financial year. From January to December 2023, consolidated revenue increased by 10.8% to around €1.8 billion (previous year: €1.6 billion), thus meeting the latest forecast. EBITDA pre1 rose by 10.3% to around €60.5 million (previous year: €54.9 million), exceeding the most recent forecast of around €60 million. The EBITDA pre1 margin thus remained at the previous year's level of 3.4%. Highlights:
Matthias Gärtner, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Medios AG: "Despite challenging conditions in the 2023 financial year, we continued to consistently implement our growth strategy and once again achieved our ambitious forecast in the 2023 financial year. With the recent acquisition of the Dutch compounding manufacturer and market leader Ceban, we are implementing a significant strategic growth measure. This is just the beginning: We want to expand into other European countries and enter the market for personalized medicine." Growth in both operating segments The Pharmaceutical Supply segment generated external revenue of €1,558 million in the 2023 financial year (previous year: €1,390 million), which corresponds to an increase of 12.1% compared to the previous year. EBITDA pre1 increased by 22.8% to €46.7 million (previous year: € 38.0 million). The Patient-Specific Therapies segment generated external revenue of €226.0 million in the same period (previous year: €220.0 million), up 2.7% on the previous year. EBITDA pre1 decreased by around 8.0% year on year to around €21.8 million (previous year: €23.7 million), which is mainly due to a decline in gross profit as a result of regulatory price reductions (auxiliary tax reductions) for some active ingredients since September 2022. Positive outlook for the 2024 and 2025 financial years The company expects revenue of €1.9 billion to €2.1 billion and EBITDA pre1 of €82 million to €91 million for 2024. This expectation is based in particular on the assumption that Ceban will be fully consolidated from May 1, 2024. Through the realization of synergies and further organic growth Medios expects revenue to increase to around €2.15 billion and EBITDA pre1 to around €110 million in the 2025 financial year, which corresponds to a significant increase in the EBITDA pre1 margin to 5.1%.
