Press release

Medios AG records further revenue growth in the first quarter of 2024 and
confirms full-year guidance

* Revenue increases by 5.8% to EUR456.2 million in the first quarter

* Cash flow from operating activities increases to EUR43.4 million

* Closing of the Ceban acquisition planned for May 2024

  * Guidance 2024 confirmed: Significant increase in revenue and margin
    expected


Berlin, May 7, 2024 - Medios AG ('Medios'), the leading provider of
Specialty Pharma solutions in Germany, confirms its guidance for the 2024
financial year after a solid first quarter. Revenue increased by 5.8%
year-on-year to EUR456.2 million in the period from January to March 2024
(previous year: EUR431.2 million). At EUR15.1 million (previous year: EUR15.0
million), EBITDA pre1 reached the level of the same quarter of the previous
year. As a result, the EBITDA pre1 margin of 3.3% (previous year: 3.5%) was
slightly lower than in the same period of the previous year. Cash flow from
operating activities improved significantly in the first quarter of 2024 to
EUR43.4 million (previous year:
EUR-25.3 million).

Heterogeneous sales and earnings development in the operating segments

The Pharmaceutical Supply segment achieved an increase in revenue of 8.9% to
EUR401.0 million in the first quarter of 2024 (previous year: EUR368.1 million).
The segment's EBITDA pre1 increased by 9.0% to EUR11.0 million (previous year:
EUR10.1 million).

The Patient-Specific Therapies segment generated revenue of EUR55.1 million in
the first quarter of 2024 after EUR62.9 million in the previous year. Around
EUR3.5 million of this decline was attributable to the sale of Kölsche Blister
GmbH in June 2023. In addition, regulatory price adjustments in some
compounding areas still had a negative impact on the earnings development.
As a result, the segment's EBITDA pre1 decreased by 9.4% to EUR5.9 million
(previous year: EUR6.6 million).

Matthias Gaertner, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Medios AG: 'In the first
quarter of 2024, we once again achieved an increase in revenue and
significantly increased our cash flow - despite the focus on the acquisition
of Ceban, which we expect to successfully complete shortly. With an even
larger Medios Group, which will also operate internationally for the first
time, we expect to continue our successful growth trajectory for the rest of
the 2024 financial year.'

In the first quarter of 2024, Medios announced the acquisition of Ceban
Pharmaceuticals B.V. ('Ceban'). Ceban is the Dutch market leader in
pharmaceutical compounding services and is also active in Belgium and Spain.
In 2023, Ceban generated revenue of approximately EUR160 million and an
adjusted EBITDA of approximately EUR29 million, which corresponds to an
adjusted EBITDA margin of around 18%. The acquisition represents an
important step in Medios' growth strategy, which aims to build the leading
European Specialty Pharma platform.

Positive outlook

Medios confirms the guidance for the 2024 financial year first announced on
March 18, 2024. The company expects revenue of EUR1.9 billion to EUR2.1 billion
and EBITDA pre1 of EUR82 million to EUR91 million. This expectation is based on
the assumption that the acquisition of Ceban Pharmaceuticals B.V. will be
completed shortly and fully consolidated from the beginning of May 2024.

In the medium term, the market share in the area of patient-specific
therapies in particular is to be further expanded, thereby increasing the
profitability of the entire Medios Group. Accordingly, Medios is aiming for
consolidated revenue of more than EUR2bn and an EBITDA pre1 margin at least in
the mid-single-digit range in the medium term.
