Economic Report
Course of Business of PharmaSGP
According to data sourced by the German Federal Statistical OfÏce, Germany's gross domestic product decreased by 0.3 % in 2023.1 With a slight GDP growth of 0.2 % in the first quarter of 2024, a recession was avoided.2 However, the Kiel Institute for the World
Economy (IfW) still does not expect an economic recovery for the full year, citing structural problems. According to the Kiel-based economic researchers, the German economy will do little more than stagnate with a forecast growth rate of 0.1 % in 2024. A more significant increase in GDP of 1.2 % is not expected until next year.3
In this industry-specific market environment, PharmaSGP successfully continued to expand its business development in the first quarter of 2024 despite the overall economic stagnation. Revenues reached
- 30,205 thousand, which corresponds to an increase of 25.8 % compared to the prior-year quarter. The high profitability level of the past was also maintained (adjusted EBITDA margin Q1 2024: 29.4 %, Q1 2023: 29.2 %). In addition to the continuous growth in the German market, revenues in Italy and Austria in- creased at an above-average rate. Internationalization is thus progressing according to plan.
The IfW also sees the Eurozone in a phase of economic stagnation. After GDP grew by 0.5 % in 2023 according to Eurostat figures, the IfW expects the economy to pick up slightly in 2024 with growth of 0.7 %. In line with the forecast for the German economy, slightly stronger GDP growth of 1.5 % is again predicted for the Eurozone in 2025.4
Key development trends such as an ageing society, the ongoing increase in health awareness and an increase in self-medication, are the drivers for continued growth in the pharmaceutical and healthcare market relevant to PharmaSGP. In Germany, the OTC market grew by 6.5 % YTD in the first quarter of 2024.5 For the period from 2024 to 2029, an annual growth of 2.9 % and 3.9 % is expected in the OTC market in Germany
and in Europe.6

Non-current assets
The increase in adjusted EBITDA margin of 26.5 % mainly results form the revenue increase (+25.8 %). The individual expense items have largely developed variably in line with the growth in revenues. Due to the higher percentage of high-margin products, the COGS quota has decreased from 9.5 % in the prior year to 8.4 %. The marketing quota of 47.3 % is at the same level as in the prior year (47.1 %).
In the first quarter of 2024, one-time costs and special effects mainly comprise expenses for the long-term compensation of the Management Board and planned
acquisitions.
Other current assets
Cash and cash equivalents
Compared to last year's balance sheet date, non- current assets have decreased by € 1,486 thousand or 2.2 % to € 66,996 thousand as of 31 March 2024. This mainly results from regular depreciation and amortization of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment (PPE) and capitalized right-of-use assets.
Cash and cash equivalents have increased by
- 5,504 thousand or 13.5 % due to the positive earn- ings position and the resulting positive net cash inflows from operating activities. The increase in oth- er current assets by € 5,612 thousand mainly stems from trade receivables which - in connection with the revenue increase - amount to € 14,306 thousand as of 31 March 2024.

Equity
Since the last balance sheet date, the equity position has increased by 12.4 % to € 44,665 thousand as of 31 March 2024. This change results from the profit of the period of € 4,559 thousand and from the positive measurement of interest rate hedges of € 352 thousand, the change in value of cash flow hedges is recognized in equity.
Non-current liabilities are basically unchanged to the last balance sheet date. The main position is the syndicate financing, redeemable in semi-annual tranches. Therefore, there were almost no changes of this position as of 31 March 2024.
Current liabilities amount to € 29,179 thousand as of 31 March 2024. The increase of € 4,585 thousand or 18.6 % compared to the last balance sheet date mainly stems from higher trade payables.

1 January | 40,766 | 32,642 | ||
Cash and cash equivalents as | ||||

Compared to the prior year period, cash flows from operating activities have increased by 16.9 %. The improvement results from the increased operating result (unadjusted EBITDA +23.5 %). This improvement is altered by an increase in working capital and higher income tax prepayments.
Cash flows used in investing activities were mainly incurred for PharmaSGP's marketing authorizations and qualification of contract manufacturers.
A total of € 769 thousand was spent for financing activities in the first quarter of 2024. This amount includes a redemption of lease liabilities of € 115 thousand as well as interest payments for leases and the syndicate financing of € 1,020 thousand.
