Fribourg, 11 March 2026

Infracore SA publishes audited 2025 consolidated results and AGM proposals

Dr. Stephan Thaler and Céline Amaudruz will be proposed for election to the Board of Directors

Infracore SA («Infracore»), a leading Swiss healthcare real estate company, today publishes its audited consolidated results for the financial year 2025 and outlines the proposals to be submitted to the Annual General Meeting («AGM») to be held on 25 March 2026, including the proposal to elect two new independent members to the Board of Directors.

In 2025, Infracore generated rental income of CHF 66.1 million and total revenue including revaluation gains of CHF 82.5 million. The Group recorded EBITDA of CHF 76.7 million, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 93.0% of total revenue including revaluation. Profit for the period amounted to CHF 55.8 million, representing 67.6% of total revenue including revaluation.

At year-end, the market value of investment properties (including properties under construction and development projects) stood at CHF 1.412 billion, reflecting the continued strengthening of the portfolio. The portfolio is valued by the independent appraiser Wüest Partner AG, using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method.

Infracore’s portfolio continues to stand out for its exceptionally high occupancy: the investment portfolio achieved an occupancy rate of 98.7% in 2025, implying a very low vacancy rate of approximately 1.3%. 

Infracore also highlights its recurring cash-generation capacity: cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to CHF 42.2 million (a commonly used proxy for Funds From Operations, “FFO”), representing 51.2% of total revenue including revaluation.

In terms of balance sheet strength, shareholders’ equity amounted to CHF 688.7 million. In addition, Infracore reports a conservative leverage profile. Net debt amounted to CHF 627.8 million. Relative to the market value of the property portfolio of CHF 1.412 billion, this corresponds to a Net Loan-to-Value (Net LTV) of 44.5%.  

Based on these results, the Board of Directors will propose to the AGM a dividend corresponding to a payout ratio of 95% of Infracore’s profit excluding result from revaluation.

Infracore also announces a strengthening of its Board’s independent representation, planning to have a majority of independent Board members. Two new independent candidates — Dr. Stephan Thaler and Céline Amaudruz — will be proposed for election to the Board of Directors at the AGM. Subject to their election, the Board will comprise three independent members, including Chairman Martin Gafner, alongside Dr. Stephan Thaler and Céline Amaudruz, in addition to one representative of Medical Properties Trust, Inc., Edward K. Aldag, and one representative of AEVIS VICTORIA SA, Antoine Hubert. The five board members with varied backgrounds, expertise and perspectives, whereof a majority is independent, align with best practice corporate governance. 

Infracore sees growing demand for efficient capital allocation and modern infrastructure solutions among public and private healthcare institutions. As Switzerland’s leading hospital real estate specialist and development partner, Infracore is well positioned to expand its sale-and-leaseback activities, leveraging its know-how in structuring long-term partnerships with hospitals.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER and were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 18 February 2026.  The statutory auditor concludes that the consolidated financial statements present a true and fair view in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER and comply with Swiss law.

  • Proceeds from bond issuance will be used for general corporate purposes including refinancing of maturing debt
     
  • USD 2.0 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility (RCF) maturity extended by one year until March 2031

Basel, March 11, 2026 Sandoz (SIX:SDZ/OTCQX:SDZNY), the global leader in affordable medicines, today announced the issuance of a 1.1875% coupon CHF 275 million bond with a six-year maturity and a 1.55% coupon CHF 275 million bond with a 10-year maturity, for general corporate purposes including the refinancing of maturing debt.

Additionally, Sandoz successfully extended the maturity of the USD 2.0 billion multi-currency revolving credit facility (RCF) by one year to March 31, 2031. The facility remains unutilized and includes an option to extend the maturity by an additional year.

Sandoz CFO Remco Steenbergen said: “The successful bond issuance and the extended RCF maturity will further strengthen our balance sheet, giving us significant financial leeway going forward. Over the past years we have built a balanced maturity profile and substantially reduced our financing costs.”

With these latest transactions, the Sandoz annual interest rate on gross debt is expected to remain below 4% and the debt-maturity profile is extended to 2036, whereas the Company is on track to prolonging its average debt-maturity towards six to seven years.

The transaction was supported by a bank syndicate consisting of Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas and UBS. Advestra acted as Sandoz legal advisor.

Sandoz aims to maintain an investment grade credit rating and is rated Baa2 (stable outlook) by Moody’s and BBB (stable outlook) by S&P.

Gerresheimer AG: Publication of the 2025 annual and consolidated financial statements only after March 31, 2026, exclusion from the SDAX, postponement of the Annual General Meeting

Duesseldorf, March 10, 2026. Following today’s consultation with its auditor, Gerresheimer AG (ISIN: DE000A0LD6E6, “Gerresheimer”) has concluded that the audited annual and consolidated financial statements for the 2025 financial year will not be published by March 31, 2026, but later.

The preparation of the 2025 annual and consolidated financial statements is delayed because the ongoing investigations by a second external auditing firm into business transactions in financial years 2024 and 2025 and the preparation of the documents required for the audit are taking longer than expected. The Management Board aims to publish the audited annual and consolidated financial statements for the 2025 financial year in June 2026.

The delay in the publication of the 2025 annual and consolidated financial statements is expected to result in the exclusion of Gerresheimer shares from the SDAX index of Deutsche Börse AG.

As a result of the later publication of the 2025 annual and consolidated financial statements, the publication of the Quarterly Statement for the first quarter of 2026, which was announced for April 16, 2026, will also be postponed. The Company will announce a new date as soon as possible.

As a result of the later disclosure of the audited annual and consolidated financial statements, the Company’s Annual General Meeting cannot take place on June 3, 2026, as originally scheduled. The Company will announce a new date as soon as possible.

The Company has entered into discussions with its creditors to agree on an extension of the submission requirements for the audited annual and consolidated financial statements for the 2025 financial year as specified in the financing agreements.

Immunic Announces Grant of Key European Patent Protecting Relevant Dosing Regimens for Vidofludimus Calcium

10.03.2026 / 11:30 CET/CEST

Immunic Announces Grant of Key European Patent
Protecting Relevant Dosing Regimens for Vidofludimus Calcium 

– Patent Covers Label-Mandated Dosing Scheme Across All Indications, Including Multiple Sclerosis; Previously Granted by the USPTO in 2023 –

– Broad Protection Extends to All Forms of Vidofludimus, Including Its Salts, Solvates and Free Acid –

– Multi-Layered Intellectual Property Strategy Expected to Provide Protection at Least Into 2041 in the United States and Into 2039 in Europe –

NEW YORK, March 10, 2026 – Immunic, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMUX), a late-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of novel oral therapies for neurologic and gastrointestinal diseases, today announced that the European Patent Office (EPO) has granted a key European patent, EP3713554, directed to label-relevant dosing regimens of lead asset, nuclear receptor-related 1 (Nurr1) activator, vidofludimus calcium (IMU-838). The patent is expected to provide protection for vidofludimus calcium in Europe into 2038, and may be eligible for a Supplementary Protection Certificate (SPC), which could extend market exclusivity potentially into 2043. This patent was previously granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in 2023.

The claims broadly protect vidofludimus and its salt, solvate and free acid forms, in all label-relevant dosing regimens. This protection extends beyond a specific salt form, meaning that even alternative salts or forms will fall within the scope of the patent if used according to the label.

“Receiving this key patent in Europe represents a highly important advancement in our global intellectual property strategy for vidofludimus calcium and further reinforces the durability of our exclusivity position,” stated Daniel Vitt, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Immunic. “This patent creates a particularly robust layer of protection that is difficult to design around, independent of indication or formulation. Together with our existing composition-of-matter, indication, method-of-treatment, dosing, process of production and formulation patents, this European patent significantly strengthens the multi-layered protection we have built around vidofludimus calcium. We will continue to expand this portfolio with the goal of maximizing long-term exclusivity following potential regulatory approval.”

Vidofludimus calcium is protected by several layers of granted patents in the United States, Europe and other jurisdictions around the world. These patents are directed towards composition-of-matter for forms of vidofludimus calcium; the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis with a specific dose strength used in the clinical trials; the treatment of progressive multiple sclerosis with specific dose strengths used in the clinical trials; the dosing regimens, including those used in clinical trials for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, as well as composition-of-matter of a specific polymorph of vidofludimus calcium and a related method of production of the material. In the United States, these patents provide protection into 2041, unless extended further. In addition, pending applications are directed towards the use of vidofludimus calcium and other salt forms as well as free acid forms for treating neurodegenerative diseases, which, if granted, could provide protection up to 2044, unless extended further, and the pharmaceutical product (formulation, production process and impurity profile), which, if granted, could provide protection up to 2045, unless extended further. Further undisclosed patent applications dedicated to strengthening the exclusivity period are currently in process. In addition to patent exclusivity, vidofludimus calcium, as a new chemical entity, is expected to benefit from regulatory data protection.

About Vidofludimus Calcium (IMU-838)

Vidofludimus calcium is an orally administered investigational small molecule drug being developed for chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, currently in late-stage clinical trials for multiple sclerosis (MS). Vidofludimus calcium’s unique mode of action combines neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory and anti-viral effects to target the complex pathophysiology of MS. As a selective immune modulator, it activates the neuroprotective transcription factor, nuclear receptor-related 1 (Nurr1), which provides direct and indirect neuroprotective effects. Additionally, vidofludimus calcium achieves anti-inflammatory and anti-viral effects through highly selective inhibition of the enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). Vidofludimus calcium is currently being evaluated in phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of relapsing MS. In a phase 2 clinical trial, it showed therapeutic activity in relapsing-remitting MS patients, significantly reducing brain lesions and demonstrating encouraging results in reducing confirmed disability worsening. Additionally, vidofludimus calcium demonstrated clinical benefits in progressive MS patients by showing substantial reductions in confirmed disability progression and statistically significant confirmed disability improvement in a phase 2 clinical trial. To date, vidofludimus calcium has been exposed to more than 3,400 individuals and has shown an attractive pharmacokinetic, safety and tolerability profile. Vidofludimus calcium is not yet licensed or approved in any country.

About Immunic, Inc.

Immunic, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMUX) is a late-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of novel oral therapies for neurologic and gastrointestinal diseases. The company’s lead development program, vidofludimus calcium (IMU-838), is currently in phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis, for which top-line data is expected to be available by the end of 2026. It has already shown therapeutic activity in phase 2 clinical trials in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, progressive multiple sclerosis and other diseases. Vidofludimus calcium combines neuroprotective effects, through its mechanism as a first-in-class nuclear receptor-related 1 (Nurr1) activator, with additional anti-inflammatory and anti-viral effects, by selectively inhibiting the enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). IMU-856, which targets the protein Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), is intended to restore intestinal barrier function and regenerate bowel epithelium, which could potentially be applicable in numerous gastrointestinal diseases such as celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and graft-versus-host disease. IMU-381 comprises next-generation molecules in preclinical testing for neurologic, gastrointestinal and other autoimmune diseases leveraging the company’s Nurr1 platform.

Galenica consistently pursued its growth strategy throughout 2025 and reported a strong result. Adjusted1 EBIT grew significantly, with an increase of 11.3% to CHF 234.8 million. This performance was driven by strong sales growth of 5.5% to CHF 4,135.6 million, to which all business areas contributed. Adjusted1 net profit from continuing operations increased by 3.0% to CHF 188.7 million. Commenting on the pleasing annual result, Marc Werner, CEO of Galenica, says: “In 2025, we consistently implemented our strategic objectives and further strengthened our established position in the Swiss healthcare market. We have successfully developed our network and are focusing on customer focus, efficiency and digitalisation.”

The Group’s adjusted1 ROS increased to 5.7% (previous year: 5.4%), bolstered by an improved gross margin combined with optimisation of personnel costs. The acquisition of Labor Team in September as well as special factors of CHF 6.2 million also had a positive impact on EBIT. At CHF 245.7 million, adjusted1 operating cashflow in the 2025 financial year was well above the previous year’s level. The positive cash flow performance was due to a combination of the strong operating result and a targeted focus on managing net working capital.

Consultation services enhance basic care

Galenica further expanded its role in basic care in 2025. Pharmacies in the Galenica network provided more than 368,000 fee-based healthcare and consultation services, including almost 93,000 vaccinations. Thanks to new partnerships with KPT and Helsana, the costs of these services have been covered under certain insurance models since 1 January 2026. Over the course of 2026, the “Consultation plus” offer will become available nationwide in all pharmacies in the network. The company is also growing in the digital sector: the use of Click & Collect is steadily increasing, and the Prescription Manager, launched in early 2025, simplifies the management of prescriptions and ordering of medications. In addition, with the majority takeover of the online drugstore Puravita, Galenica is strengthening its presence in the digital drugstore and over-the-counter range and expanding its online offering.

Wholesale systems modernised for greater efficiency

In 2025, Galexis reached an important milestone in its long-term investments in efficiency and digitalisation, as its distribution centre in Western Switzerland underwent comprehensive modernisation. Thanks to the introduction of the new warehouse management system at the Lausanne-Ecublens site, the level of automation is now over 70%. The next step will follow in the third quarter of 2026, with plans to transition the systems at the Niederbipp site to SAP too. In doing so, Galexis is laying the foundations for even more efficient logistics and creating new opportunities for innovation, particularly in combination with artificial intelligence.

Foundation laid for further growth

Another key milestone was the entry into the diagnostics business by acquiring the Labor Team Group. In doing so, Galenica expanded its offering, in particular for doctors, while at the same time tapping new potential for innovation and growth. In the year under review, Galenica also laid important foundations for sustainable growth in the home care sector. The common market presence of Bichsel and Lifestage Solutions combines many years of experience in clinical nutrition with a modern, digital ordering and billing platform. In future, Bichsel is to focus on home care services, which already account for around two-thirds of the business. As part of this strategic focus, Galenica announced in February 2026 that it aims to cease manufacturing of pharmaceutical products at Bichsel at the end of 2026. The consultation process is expected to conclude in mid-March 2026. 

Galenica increases mid-term EBIT guidance

In light of the strong result, Galenica is clearly on track to meet both its sales and EBIT forecast for 2025. The Board of Directors will therefore propose to the General Meeting that the dividend be increased to CHF 2.50 per share, which corresponds to an increase of 8.7%. For 2026, Galenica expects sales growth of between 5% and 7%. Galenica expects adjusted1 EBIT to increase by 6% to 8%. Excluding the extraordinary special factors of CHF 6.2 million in 2025, this corresponds to an increase in adjusted1 EBIT of 9% to 11%. The costs of the planned closure of Bichsel’s production division will mainly be incurred in the first half of 2026 and are not reflected in the adjusted1 EBIT. Galenica is pursuing a sustainable dividend policy and plans a dividend for 2026 at least at the previous year’s level.

Galenica is also updating its profitability targets in both segments and raises its mid-term guidance for adjusted1 EBIT for the period up to 2027. The previous target of CHF 250 million has been increased to CHF 270 million. In doing so, Galenica is highlighting its ambitious growth targets as well as the positive development of the company and is now also factoring the successful acquisition of Labor Team into its mid-term guidance.

Sandoz creates new global biosimilar development, manufacturing and supply unit, appoints industry veteran Armin Metzger to lead next phase of growth

Ad hoc announcement pursuant to art. 53 SIX Swiss Exchange Listing Rules

  • Key move to drive organizational focus ahead of coming ‘golden decade’ of loss of exclusivity opportunities
  • Supports unique strategic positioning as global leader across both biosimilars and generics
  • Enables Sandoz to unlock significant biosimilar market potential while strengthening high-volume generics business to ensure sustainable competitive edge 

Basel, March 10, 2026Sandoz (SIX:SDZ/OTCQX:SDZNY), the global leader in affordable medicines, today announces the creation of a new biosimilar development, manufacturing and supply unit. The global unit will be headed by industry veteran Armin Metzger, who will join Sandoz on April 1, 2026, as President, Biosimilar Development, Manufacturing & Supply and become a member of the Sandoz Executive Committee (SEC).

 

Sandoz CEO Richard Saynor says: “We stand today at the start of an unprecedented ‘golden decade’ for patient access, with medicines worth more than USD 650 billion dollars set to lose exclusivity over the next 10 years. As the global leader in affordable medicines and the pioneer of biosimilars, Sandoz is determined to capture this opportunity and deliver strong, sustainable growth.

 

“Today’s announcement marks a concrete step towards achieving that goal. Sandoz is uniquely positioned for success thanks to its leading position across both biosimilar and generic medicines. However, despite their many synergies, the two parts of the business have different development, manufacturing and supply requirements, as well as increasingly divergent market dynamics. This change will enable us to focus our efforts more sharply on accelerating biosimilar growth while further strengthening our generic operations to increase our competitive edge.”

 

Consolidating biosimilar development, manufacturing and supply under one SEC leader will enable clear ownership, fast decision-making and stronger alignment. It will also help to accelerate full vertical integration of biosimilar development, manufacturing and supply at Sandoz.

 

Mr. Metzger joins Sandoz from Swiss-based Ferring Pharmaceuticals, where he has served in senior technological leadership roles since 2016, most recently as Executive Vice President, Chief Technical Operations Officer. Prior to that, he spent nearly 20 years in technological and scientific leadership roles at Merck KGaA and Merck Serono. He holds an MSc and PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Bayreuth.

 

Under the new organizational set-up, Claire D’Abreu-Hayling, currently Chief Scientific Officer, becomes President, Generics Development and Chief Scientific Officer. Glenn Gerecke, currently Chief Manufacturing & Supply Officer, is appointed President, Generics Manufacturing & Supply. Both remain as members of the SEC.

 

Dedicated generics capabilities will enable more tailored approaches and clearer focus on the needs of the lower-cost, higher-volume business. The success of the core generics business remains central to the long-term Sandoz strategy, as the only ‘pure-play’ biosimilars and generics company with a strong leadership position and strategic commitment to the synergies in both segments. Generic medicines represent 70% of Sandoz net sales globally in 2025 and an even higher proportion by volume.

 

Additionally, in a move to simplify and align the overall organizational structure, Thomas Weigold, Country Head, Sandoz Germany, will in future report into Christophe Delenta, President Europe. As of April 1, 2026, Germany’s interests will therefore be represented on the SEC at a European regional level. 

 

These changes have no impact on the Company’s 2026 financial guidance, the medium-term outlook or financial reporting.

Hamburg, Germany, March 10, 2026 – Evotec SE (NASDAQ: EVO; Frankfurt Prime Standard: EVT) today announced ‘Horizon’, the next phase in its multi-stage transformation initiative. Horizon advances the company’s evolution by implementing a new and focused operating model built across the three pillars of operations, science and commercial execution. This model is designed to generate above market growth and enhance operating leverage in an environment of normalized demand and increased expectations on scientific and operational performance, building on the Priority Reset in 2024 and the articulation of strategic levers for mid-term value creation in 2025.

Horizon will simplify organizational structures, reorganize Evotec’s global expertise into new, focused Centers of Excellence and align the company footprint to support more disciplined execution in high-value segments of the drug discovery and preclinical development market.

Dr. Christian Wojczewski, Chief Executive Officer of Evotec, said:

“Horizon represents the next step in Evotec’s structured transformation to position the company for sustainable, high-quality growth. Following the disciplined cost actions implemented over the past two years and the strategic priorities we set in 2025, we are now transforming our operating model. This will enable deeper integration, faster decision making and greater agility for our customers and partners. Horizon positions Evotec for stronger performance through 2027 and lays the foundation for further optimization and intelligent scaling toward 2030.”

Strategic Rationale

Horizon marks an important step to position Evotec for the next phase in the evolution of the global drug discovery and pre-clinical development market, driven by deeper scientific excellence and advances in data science, automation and AI. It represents a building phase after which the company will operate with a more disciplined cost base, a higher-value technology-driven revenue mix, improved operating margins and a platform capable of delivering sustainable and profitable growth. Operational streamlining will increase agility and responsiveness and will enable faster execution, particularly within Evotec’s drug and preclinical development (D&PD) business.

Horizon accelerates delivery on Evotec’s four strategic levers for mid-term value creation:

  1. Above market growth rates at better-quality earnings
  2. Commitment to operational excellence
  3. Better monetization of technology and assets of Just – Evotec Biologics
  4. Upside through returns on partnered asset pipeline

Implementation Plan

As part of the transformation, Evotec plans to further optimize its global footprint, reduced from 19 to 14 sites between 2024 and 2025, to 10 sites over the next two years. The footprint optimization will be accompanied by a workforce adjustment affecting up to 800 positions across all locations. Centers of Excellence will enable a centralized innovation infrastructure by concentrating key areas of expertise. This focused model is designed to strengthen scientific depth, enhance cross-disciplinary collaboration and support growth in high-value therapeutic and technology-driven areas.

Implementation of these measures has been initiated, with first operational effects anticipated in the second half of 2026. Horizon is expected to be substantially implemented by the end of 2027, taking into account phased workforce adjustments in accordance with local legal requirements. The organizational changes and associated charges that Evotec expects to incur are subject to a number of assumptions, including local legal requirements. The company is committed to a transparent process and does not expect material disruption to ongoing customer programs.

Paul Hitchin, Chief Financial Officer of Evotec, said:

“From a financial perspective, Horizon represents a fundamental realignment of our operating model and cost structure. We are simplifying our cost base, reallocating resources toward higher-value, intellectual property-driven programs and improving operating leverage across the business to create value for our stakeholders. While 2026 will be a transition year, our objective is a structurally more focused organization with enhanced long-term profitability and strengthened cash generation through 2027 and beyond.”

Financial Framework and Medium-Term Outlook

Considering the start of Horizon and the transition year expected in 2026, Evotec is revising its medium-term financial framework to reflect a phased trajectory from 2026 through 2030.

The revised framework incorporates the timing of restructuring measures and the continued development of the revenue mix across Evotec’s two business segments.

Preliminary FY 2025 Performance (Unaudited)

To provide transparency as part of the updated framework, Evotec is sharing preliminary, unaudited full-year 2025 financial figures, subject to completion of year-end closing and audit procedures.

For full-year 2025, Evotec expects results to fall within its previously communicated guidance ranges:

  • Group revenues of approximately €788 million at the high end of the €760-800 million guidance (€811 million at constant exchange rates (CER))
  • Adjusted Group EBITDA of approximately €41 million versus guidance of €30-50 million
    (€52 million CER)

Evotec will report final fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results on April 8, 2026.

Discovery & Preclinical Development (D&PD)

Preliminary unaudited revenues for the D&PD segment are expected to amount to approximately €529 million (€540 million CER), representing a year-on-year decrease of 13 %. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment is expected to amount to approximately -€12 million (-€5 million CER).

Just – Evotec Biologics (JEB)

Preliminary unaudited revenues for the JEB segment are expected to amount to approximately €259 million (€271 million CER), representing a year-on-year increase of 40 %. Adjusted EBITDA contribution from JEB is expected to amount to approximately €53 million (€57 million CER).

Horizon Financial Impact and 2026 Guidance

Horizon is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2027. 2026 will represent a transition year, with meaningful operational improvements anticipated to become increasingly visible in the second half.

Evotec expects total run-rate cost savings of approximately €75 million from the structural Horizon measures by the end of 2027 of which a positive contribution will be already realized in 2026.

To implement Horizon, Evotec expects total cash restructuring charges of approximately €100 million over the 2026–2028 period. There are also expected to be non-cash components related to asset impairments.

Evotec enters 2026 with annualized savings of approximately €60 million realized in 2025, fully embedded in its structurally lower operating cost and driven by improved capital discipline and a progressively more technology-driven revenue mix and base. These structural cost reductions, combined with improved utilization and a shift toward higher-margin technology and platform-based activities, are expected to enhance operating leverage and support sustained margin expansion from 2027 onward.

For full-year 2026, Evotec expects:

  • Group revenues of approximately €700-780 million (€730-810 million CER)
  • Adjusted Group EBITDA of approximately €0-40 million (€10-50 million CER)

Medium-Term Framework 2026–2030

Evotec is providing a new medium-term framework for 2026-2030 to consider the timing and impact of Horizon while maintaining its growth ambition. The framework reflects a phased trajectory.

  • Group revenues are expected to grow to > €1 billion (8-12 % CAGR)
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin is expected to reach 20% by 2028 and exceed that level by 2030

The framework reflects:

  • Anticipated recovery of the early drug discovery and development market
  • Cost reductions from Horizon with positive contributions beginning in 2026
  • Continued shift toward higher-margin, technology-enabled, capital-efficient revenue streams
  • Continued CAPEX-lighter approach to below 10 % of revenues
  • Operating leverage as growth resumes following the 2026 transition year

This phased approach defines a clear trajectory from operational reset, through transition, to sustainable margin expansion and scalable growth by 2030. Further details on the medium-term framework will be provided during the final fourth quarter and full-year 2025 reporting on April 8, 2026.

Dermapharm Holding SE records decline in consolidated revenue, adjusted consolidated EBITDA improves

 

  • In 2025, consolidated revenue decreases to EUR 1,165.0 million (-1.3%) following phase-out of low-margin products in “Parallel import business” segment
  • Adjusted EBITDA increases by 2.9% to EUR 324.8 million; adjusted EBITDA margin at 27.9% (up 1.2 percentage points year on year)
  • Unadjusted EBITDA rises by 2.8% to EUR 317.6 million, margin improves by 1.1 percentage points to 27.3%
  • Earnings and margin development remains heavily dependent on structural measures

 

Grünwald, 10 March 2026 – Dermapharm Holding SE (“Dermapharm”), an innovative and rapidly growing manufacturer of branded pharmaceuticals and other healthcare products, today published its unaudited preliminary consolidated figures (IFRS) for the 2025 financial year.

Consolidated revenue decreased to EUR 1,165.0 million in the reporting period (previous year: EUR 1,180.8 million). The 1.3% decline was due primarily to portfolio adjustments in the Parallel import business in the wake of the systematic phase-out of low-margin products. The organic growth in the “Branded pharmaceuticals” segment did not fully offset this decline.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose by 2.9% to EUR 324.8 million (previous year: EUR 315.6 million), with the adjusted EBITDA margin amounting to 27.9% (previous year: 26.7%). Prior to adjustment, EBITDA increased by 2.8% to EUR 317.6 million (previous year: EUR 308.9 million). The EBITDA margin thus improved from 26.2% in the previous year to 27.3%.

“In 2025, we once again increased our earnings year on year. The systematic focus of our portfolio and the robust development of our core segments underscore the stability and profitability of our Company,” said Dr Hans-Georg Feldmeier, CEO of Dermapharm Holding SE.
 

Branded pharmaceuticals

The segment recorded growth in revenue as well as EBITDA. Organic growth remains solid on the back of a broadly diversified product portfolio. The acquisition of the Austrian pharmaceuticals company F. Trenka expands the Company’s international footprint in the MENA region.

Other healthcare products

The segment’s revenue trend in the reporting year remained on par with the prior-year level. Growth at Euromed and Anton Hübner did not fully offset the decline at Arkopharma. Currency-related effects resulting from the depreciation of the US dollar also weighed on earnings.

Parallel import business

In financial year 2025, Dermapharm continued to restructure its product portfolio with the aim of increasing its focus on high-margin products. Lucrative but low-margin products were gradually phased out. This restructuring led to a significant decline in revenue and earnings.

Company profile:

Dermapharm – Pharmaceutical Excellence “Made in Europe”

Dermapharm is an innovative and rapidly growing manufacturer of branded pharmaceuticals and other healthcare products. Founded in 1991, the Company is based in Grünwald near Munich. In addition to its main location in Brehna near Leipzig, Dermapharm also operates other production, development and distribution locations, including in Germany, the rest of Europe and the United States.

In the “Branded pharmaceuticals” segment, Dermapharm has more than 1,400 marketing authorisations with more than 400 active pharmaceutical ingredients. Dermapharm’s portfolio of pharmaceuticals is tailored to selected therapeutic areas in which the Company is a market leader, especially in Germany. The Company’s integrated business model extends from in-house product development and production through quality management and logistics to the distribution of branded pharmaceuticals by a trained pharmaceutical sales force.

Dermapharm bundles food supplements, herbal pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, medical devices, herbal extracts and medicinal cannabis in its “Other healthcare products” segment. In this segment, Dermapharm can tap the expertise of Arkopharma, the market leader for phytotherapeutic food supplements in France, and the Spanish company Euromed S.A., a leading global manufacturer of herbal extracts and plant-based active ingredients for the pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, foodstuffs and cosmetics industries.

Dermapharm also operates the “Parallel import business” segment under the axicorp brand. axicorp imports originator pharmaceuticals from other EU Member States and resells them to pharmaceuticals wholesalers and pharmacies in Germany. This enables axicorp to benefit from the different pricing structures in the individual EU member states. Based on revenue, axicorp is currently the seventh largest parallel importer in Germany.

Under the renewed agreement, commercial manufacturing for Genetix will continue at Lonza’s Houston (US) facility, a dedicated cell and gene therapy site with nearly 10 years of combined clinical and commercial experience supporting the manufacture of this innovative treatment. The collaboration also makes provisions to scale up manufacturing in the future for additional Genetix therapies.

Extending the agreement with Lonza and expanding capacity provides a strong foundation as we invest to meet the growing patient demand and broaden our long-term manufacturing strategy.”
