This makes the third quarter the strongest in Medios' history. Matthias Gaertner, CEO of Medios: "With the very good performance in the third quarter, we are fully on track to achieve our full-year targets. Revenue is expected to reach the upper end of our original forecast corridor. This shows very clearly that we are on the right track with our expanded growth strategy. With this, we are initiating the next phase of the Company's development and will continue to increase both Medios’ revenue and earnings over the next few years, particularly with the planned expansion into further European countries.” Medios made further progress in the implementation of its expanded growth strategy in the first nine months of 2023. As part of this, the Company intends in particular the geographical expansion of the compounding of patient-specific therapies into other European countries and has already defined potential European M&A targets. In addition, the Company is planning potential strategic partnerships in the field of personalized therapies.
