Dermapharm Holding SE raises EBITDA forecast for the full year 2021

Grünwald, December 16, 2021 - Dermapharm Holding SE ("Dermapharm"), a high-growth manufacturer of branded pharmaceuticals, is raising its guidance for adjusted Group EBITDA. The Management Board now expects an improvement of 70% to 75% compared to the previous year and confirms the growth in Group sales of 15% to 20%.

In view of the very good operational business development to date and the increasing transparency at the end of the year, the Executive Board is increasing the forecast for adjusted Group EBITDA for 2021. The Executive Board now expects growth in adjusted Group EBITDA of 70% to 75% (previously: 50% to 60%).

On the basis of shifts in the contribution of the segments "branded pharmaceuticals and other healthcare products", "herbal extracts" and "parallel import business", Dermapharm confirms its sales expectations and continues to anticipate an increase in consolidated sales of 15% to 20%.

The main growth driver for the very good EBITDA development is the proportionally faster growing segment "branded pharmaceuticals and other healthcare products", e.g. with products to strengthen the immune system and the successful vaccine production in cooperation with BioNTech SE.

"In addition to raising our EBITDA forecast, we expect our successful development in Germany and abroad and in the vaccine cooperation with BioNTech SE to continue in 2022. We are therefore expanding our production capacities," said Dr Hans-Georg Feldmeier, CEO of Dermapharm Holding SE. Dermapharm has invested in production facilities for filling, packaging and quality control of vaccines. "In time for the fight against the Omikron variant, we have extended production capacities and expect a significant increase in vaccine production compared to the previous year," Dr Feldmeier continues.
