PharmaSGP Holding SE successfully holds 2022 AGM

- 91.07% of share capital represented

- Shareholders approve proposed dividend payment; all other agenda items approved by a clear majority

- Following record revenue in 2021, Management Board reports on growth prospects based on PharmaSGP platform

Gräfelfing, 15 June 2022 – PharmaSGP Holding SE successfully held its 2022 annual general meeting today. In view of the continuing health risk posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the meeting once again was held virtually. The proportion of share capital represented amounted to 91.07%. All agenda items were approved by a clear majority.

In the course of the annual meeting, the Management Board delivered a detailed report on the development in revenue and earnings in the 2021 fiscal year, in which PharmaSGP achieved a historic record revenue amounting to € 65.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA in the 2021 fiscal year also increased substantially to € 19.4 million (previous year € 17.0 million). Based on the successful development in business, the Management Board was able to propose that the Annual General Meeting should approve a dividend payment amounting to 50.5% of Group earnings for the period. The shareholders represented at the meeting adopted this proposal by a majority of 100%.

Once again in the first quarter of 2022, the company has set another new record with revenue up 67% on the same period last year at € 20.6 million. This success PharmaSGP achieved was in large part due to the acquisition of a product portfolio from the GlaxoSmithKline Group. The potential unlocked by the integration of the four established OTC brands Baldriparan^®, Formigran^®, Spalt^® and Kamol^® has continued to unfold since September of last year.

As CEO Natalie Weigand commented: “The development in sales in the past financial year and in the first quarter impressively demonstrates the potential we are able to leverage via our platform with both existing and newly acquired brands. We are delighted that our investors are able to profit from our strong operating performance during the past year, and we are confident that we will be able to continue to develop our potential.” Michael Rudolf, CFO of PharmaSGP, added: “With a look to the 2022 fiscal year we are targeting a revenue of between € 78 million and € 82 million, and we aim to sustain an adjusted EBITDA margin in a range above 30%.”
