‌REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL SITUATION AND RESULTS
  1. ‌Results of operations

    During the three months ended 31 March 2025 Group revenues decreased by 4% to € 200.0 m compared to the same period of the previous year (3M 2024: € 208.7 m). The decrease was driven by 9% lower revenues in the Shared R&D segment, whereas Just - Evotec Biologics contributed € 59.4 m

    during the three months ended 31 March 2025 versus

    € 53.5 m in the comparable prior year period. Excluding positive fx-effects, Group revenues decreased by 6% to € 195.8 m. Base business decreased by 8% from € 208.6 m in 3M 2024 to €

    192.4 m in the three months ended 31 March 2025.

    The Costs of revenue for the three months ended 31 March 2025 amounted to € 172.8 m (3M 2024:

    € 174.0 m) yielding a gross margin of 13.6% (3M 2024: 16.7%). The increase of Costs of revenues was driven by higher costs within Just - Evotec Biologics

    due to higher headcount numbers and therefore higher labour costs, as well as increased material and supplier costs to cover the higher demand. Shared R&D saw continued underutilisation. The overall Costs of revenues within Shared R&D decreased by 7% compared to the comparable prior year period.

    R&D expenses amounted to € 10.8 m, compared to

    € 16.2 m in the three months ended 31 March 2024 (34% reduction), as investment continues to be tightly controlled on projects most relevant to our partners.

    SG&A expenses for the three months ended 31 March 2025 amounted to € 47.7 m and were thus €

    1.8 m or 4% higher compared to last year (3M 2024:

    € 45.9 m) mainly driven by higher IT expenses.

    For the three months ended 31 March 2025, other operating income amounted to € 13.0 m, compared to € 12.7 m for the comparable prior year period. Key driver for the decrease of other operating expenses from € 3.5 m in the first three months of 2024 to € 1.6 m in the first three months of 2025 were reduced one-off expenses related to the recovery after the cyber-attack.

    Adjusted Group EBITDA for the three months ended 31 March 2025 amounted to € 3.1 m (3M 2024: € 7.8 m) driven by a small single-digit decrease in revenues and higher SG&A expenses, that were only partly offset by lower Costs of revenues and R&D expenses.

    The net income (loss) as of 31 March 2025 amounted to € (31.6) m (3M 2024: € (20.7) m), driven by the operating loss and a decrease in deferred tax income.

  2. ‌Results of operations in Shared R&D and Just - Evotec Biologics

    In the Shared R&D segment revenues (incl. intersegment revenues) decreased by 9% to € 140.6

    m (3M 2024: € 155.2 m) due to a still challenging market environment.

    Costs of revenue within Shared R&D were at

    € 125.4 m in the three months ended 31 March 2025 (3M 2024: € 135.4 m) driven by lower costs after the priority reset. This corresponds to a gross margin of 10.8% (3M 2024: 12.8%). R&D expenses came in at € 10.7 m (3M 2024: € 16.3 m). SG&A expenses increased to € 39.3 m (3M 2024: € 38.2 m), mainly caused by an increase in IT expenses. For the three months ended 31 March 2025, other operating income amounted to € 12.3 m, compared to

    € 12.2 m for the comparable prior year period. Other operating expenses were € 0.9 m (3M 2024: € 3.5 m) driven by reduced one-off expenses related to the cyber-attack.

    The adjusted EBITDA of the Shared R&D segment was € (6.9) m (3M 2024: € 5.5 m), due to lower revenues and increased SG&A expenses, that were only partially offset by reduced Costs of revenues and R&D expenses.

    Revenues (incl. intersegment revenues) within Just - Evotec Biologics increased to € 59.4 m

    (3M 2024: € 53.8 m). This growth of 10% was driven by increased business in Redmond and Toulouse.

    Costs of revenues of € 47.4 m were incurred in the first three months of 2025, compared to € 38.8 m within the three months ended 31 March 2024. The increase was driven by the operational ramp up of the Toulouse site and higher costs due to increased revenues. In the same period, gross margin decreased to 20.2% in the first quarter 2025 from 27.9% in the first three months of 2024. The increase in SG&A expenses (3M 2025: € 8.4 m vs. 3M 2024: € 7.8 m) was mainly caused by higher headcount and the continued investment in IT-systems and process ramp-up.

    The adjusted EBITDA within Just - Evotec Biologics has decreased to € 10.0 m (3M 2024: € 13.3

    m) mainly driven by a slower increase of revenues compared to an increased cost base.

  3. ‌Financing and financial position

    Cash flow used in operating activities in the first three months of 2025 was € (31.8) m (3M 2024:

    € (48.2) m). The decrease in cash outflow is related to favourable changes in working capital compared to the first three months of 2024.

    Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended 31 March 2025 amounted to

    € (21.6) m (3M 2024: € (30.9) m). Capital expenditure decreased to € 18.2 m (3M 2024: € 40.2 m) due to lower investments in the Just - Evotec Biologics production facilities. The decrease in capital expenditure was partially offset by lower net proceeds from current investments that decreased by

    € 7.9 m to € 4.1 m (3M 2024: € 12.0 m).

    Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities amounted to € 35.4 m in the three months ended 31 March 2025 (3M 2024: € (5.9) m). The significant increase is caused by proceeds from loans (3M 2025: € 44.0 m; 3M 2024: € 0.9 m).

    Cash and cash equivalents amounted to

    € 285.4 m as of 31 March 2025 (31 December 2024:

    € 306.4 m). Total Liquidity decreased to € 371.4 m (31 December 2024: € 396.8 m).

  4. ‌Assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity

    Assets

    Between 31 December 2024 and 31 March 2025, total assets increased by € 32.4 m to € 1,944.9 m (31 December 2024: € 1,912.5 m).

    Trade and other receivables increased by € 51.0 m to € 167.3 m (31 December 2024: € 116.3 m). The

    increase is mainly due to invoices issued to one major customer shortly before quarter end.

    Contract assets amounted to € 53.9 m (31 December 2024: € 46.0 m). The increase is mainly due to an increase in contract assets in Just - Evotec Biologics Inc. Further, increases related to reductions in netting with contract liabilities and reclasses to Trade and other receivables almost completely offset each other. Current tax assets decreased from € 41.9 m as per 31 December 2024 to € 31.6 m as per 31 March 2025. The decrease predominantly resulted from cash receipts of R&D tax credits in UK and Italy. Prepaid expenses and other current assets

    increased by € 13.4 m to € 58.9 m (31 December 2024: € 45.5 m) primarily due to an increase in prepayments for insurances, IT and software licenses as well as subscriptions fees.

    Property, plant and equipment decreased by

    € (15.2) m to € 808.8 m (31 December 2024: € 823.9 m). FX-effects, especially the appreciation of the euro against the US dollar, and depreciation exceeded capital expenditures for site expansions.

    Liabilities

    Current financial liabilities increased to € 60.9 m (31 December 2024: € 50.8 m) mainly due to the reclassification of loan liabilities from non-current to current. Trade and other payables decreased by € 24.5 m to € 61.3 m (31 December 2024: € 85.8 m). The decrease occurred in the normal course of the business. Current and non-current contract liabilities

    increased by € 56.9 m to € 320.1 m (31

    December 2024: € 263.3 m). The increase is caused

    by a significant decrease in the netting of contract liabilities with contract assets.

    Current provisions increased by € 5.9 m to € 68.1 m (31 December 2024: € 62.2 m) predominantly due to proportionate additions to the annual bonus accrual. Non-current financial liabilities increased by €

    25.0 m to € 417.8 m (31 December 2024: € 392.7 m). The increase is due to the drawdown of the third tranche of the EIB 2.0 loan, partially offset by reclasses to current financial liabiltites.

    Stockholders' equity

    Total stockholders' equity decreased by € 40.4 m to € 912.1 m (31 December 2024: € 952.5 m). Evotec's equity ratio as of 31 March 2025 decreased 46.9% (31 December 2024: 49.8%).
  5. ‌Human Resources

Employees

Headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, the Evotec Group employs 4,766 people globally as of 31 March

2025 (31 December 2024: 4,827 employees), which shows a slight decrease compared to the prior year's end. Overall, the number of employees decreased by 416 compared to the three months ended 31 March 2024 with 5,1822, with the reduction primarily due to a "Priority Reset to Profitable Growth." This strategic initiative involved adjustments to the company's size and footprint, optimizing resources, and recalibrating operations to focus on core strengths.

2 The Q1 2024 headcount has been adjusted from 5,055 to 5,182 following a change in reporting methodology. The revised approach includes all active employees regardless of their status (e.g., on leave) and excludes those who exited the company during the month. This update aligns with the standard applied in Q1 2025 and ensures greater accuracy and consistency in

headcount reporting across periods.
