• Sales growth of more than 50% in the first quarter of 2020
• So far, no significant Corona effects on business development

• Admission to Prime Standard shortly before application

Berlin, 4 May 2020 - Medios AG ('Medios'), one of the leading Specialty Pharma companies in Germany, has continued its dynamic growth in the first quarter of 2020. In the period from January to March, group sales increased by 52.1% to €162.8 million compared to the same period of the previous year (€107.0 million). Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted for extraordinary expenses*, increased by 19.4% to €4.3 million (previous year €3.6 million). Consolidated earnings before taxes (EBT), adjusted for extraordinary expenses*, climbed by 15.6% to €3.7 million (previous year €3.2 million). The Management Board confirms the full-year forecast.

Matthias Gärtner, CFO of Medios AG: 'We are very satisfied with the start into the new year. Our business has not been significantly affected by the Corona pandemic so far. This makes us confident for the further course of the year. The growth in the first quarter gives us momentum to reach our targets for 2020. In addition, we expect synergy effects from the acquisition of Kölsche Blister GmbH in the medium term.'

With the acquisition of Kölsche Blister GmbH in the first quarter of 2020, Medios' business model was expanded with the service of patient-specific blistering. This is the patient-related repackaging of finished pharmaceuticals on individual request.

In addition, Medios has signed an agreement for a syndicated loan in the amount of €62.5 million in the first quarter. This is intended to enable Medios to finance future growth and to make further acquisitions if requested in order to benefit from the consolidation of the pharmaceutical market.

Outlook
For the 2020 financial year, Medios continues to expect - including the acquisition of Kölsche Blister GmbH in March 2020 - group sales of around €610 to €670 million, an adjusted EBITDA* of around €19.5 to €22.5 million and an adjusted EBT* of around €17.5 to €20.5 million.

The wider target ranges take into account the special conditions. At present, it is not possible to estimate whether the spread of the Corona virus will have a larger impact on the future business development. So far, it has not been significantly affected by the pandemic however.

Admission to Prime Standard
The shares of Medios AG are so far being traded on the Regulated Market (General Standard). The Management Board intends to apply for admission to a higher transparency level of the Regulated Market, the Prime Standard, at Deutsche Börse in the near future. This is a prerequisite for inclusion in the selection indices of Deutsche Börse.

Matthias Gärtner, CFO of Medios AG: 'Our goal is to be included in the SDAX as soon as possible. This will enable us to significantly increase the liquidity of our shares and the visibility of Medios on the capital market, especially for international investors.'
