PharmaSGP confirms record revenue and record profitability for 2022 and publishes forecast for 2023

 

Gräfelfing, 15 March 2023 – Based on preliminary and unaudited figures German OTC pharmaceutical company PharmaSGP Holding SE has achieved a significant increase of 31.3% in revenue resulting in a new record of € 85.8 million in financial year 2022. This strong development is attributable to the successful integration of the brands acquired from GlaxoSmithKline, but in particular also to very strong organic growth in the company’s existing portfolio. PharmaSGP’s European platform put on a strong performance across all regions in financial year 2022. Germany contributed significantly to the company’s overall growth, with a 33.4% increase in revenue to € 61.3 million. Likewise in Italy, Austria and elsewhere in Europe, there was a significant increase of 26.4% which lifted revenue to a total of € 24.5 million.

Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (adjusted EBITDA) increased even more than revenue to € 28.2 million. With a disproportionate increase of 45.3% compared to revenue, the adjusted EBITDA margin also increased from 29.7% to 32.9% compared to the previous year. Both revenue and the adjusted EBITDA margin are thus clearly at the upper end of the forecast, which was only raised in November 2022 due to the positive business development.

Looking ahead to 2023, the Management Board of PharmaSGP expects the success story to continue. Based on purely organic growth on the PharmaSGP platform, the revenues are expected to lie within a range of between € 91 million and € 96 million. The Board is also forecasting a further substantial increase in adjusted EBITDA, with earnings of between € 30 million and € 34 million. This equates to a further increase, lifting the adjusted EBITDA margin to between 33.0% to 35.4%. With these figures, PharmaSGP would achieve a result in 2023 which analysts had not anticipated until before 2024. PharmaSGP will publish its full annual report for 2022 on 27 April, 2023.
