Portfolio development
In line with the strategic directions established through the business plan "The Future Together 2030", research and development activities represent an essential pillar of the company's growth strategy and portfolio consolidation. The development of the product portfolio is carried out both through projects implemented within the INOVA a+ Research and Development Center and through the acquisition of licenses for products that the company intends to include in its portfolio, but which are not compatible with the existing manufacturing flows.
In 2025, research stages were planned for a total of 54 projects within the INOVA a+ Research Center. The complexity of the pharmaceutical product development process, combined with the requirements imposed by the international regulations applicable to the sector, gives research and development activities a multi-year character. Thus, out of the total projects planned for 2025, 38 projects represent continuations of activities initiated in the previous year.
The distribution of research projects in 2025 by divisions was as follows:
Topical Products Division: 28 projects;
Oral Solid Dosage Forms Division: 11 projects;
Sterile Injectable Products Division: 15 projects.
In 2025, research and development activities were completed for two generic medicines, for which the marketing authorization dossiers were prepared and submitted to the European authorities. In addition, the research for four cosmetic products and two food supplements was completed, these products being developed in accordance with the applicable safety and quality requirements.
At the same time, in 2025 technological scaling and validation activities were carried out for nine projects, with the objective of ensuring the reproducibility of technological processes and the consistency of finished product quality.
Within the Clinical Studies Center, stages for three clinical studies were conducted during 2025. Two of these studies were completed, while the third will continue in 2026. The results obtained from clinical studies represent a mandatory component of the marketing authorization documentation and an important advantage in communicating the benefits of Antibiotice branded products to healthcare professionals.
Concurrently with the ongoing research and development activities, during 2025 specific actions were carried out to prepare and submit the documentation for the project "INOVA a+ Research and Development Center and Critical Medicines Production", a project financed through the European Union's STEP program (The Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform). The objective of this initiative is to develop research infrastructure, stimulate pharmaceutical innovation and facilitate the transfer of technology to manufacturing activities.
The actions undertaken focused on the technical and scientific substantiation of the project, the evaluation and sizing of the consumables required for research activities, as well as the training needs and skills development for the personnel involved.
During 2025, 9 portfolio assimilation projects for veterinary use were carried out, at different stages of development:
Veterinary nutraceutical portfolio: seven projects addressing conditions in the following therapeutic areas: urinary, renal, cardiovascular, central nervous system and musculoskeletal.
Veterinary antiparasitic portfolio: two projects.
Through in-licensing activities, 17 new products were contracted in 2025 from the following categories:
→ 6 human use products (4 molecules), including:
4 oral products from class C (Cardiovascular);
1 injectable product from class J (Anti-infectives);
1 injectable product from class H (Hormonal products).
→ 11 veterinary use products (8 molecules), including:
4 antiparasitic medicines;
7 supplements that will expand the VetAria+ product range with advanced formulations intended for the treatment of common conditions in dogs and cats:
3 products in soft chew form;
1 prefilled syringe with palatable paste;
1 palatable gel in a bottle with a dosing syringe;

Operational performance
In 2025, total reported revenues amounted to 687 million lei. During the first twelve months, the inflation rate exceeded 9%, according to public data, which was also reflected in purchasing power. As a result, the consumption of medicines was reprioritized within the consumer basket.
Revenue from international sales amounted to 266.3 million RON, representing an increase of 5.2% compared to 2024:
Finished products and services totaled 171.32 million RON, an increase of 9.6% compared to 2024 (156.29 million RON).
Active substances totaled 94.95 million RON, a decrease of 2% compared to 2024 (96.94 million RON). The decrease is correlated with reduced demand following the impact of tariff policies announced by the United States of America.

Antibiotice in the Romanian market1
During the analyzed period, the sales of Antibiotice Iași on the domestic market recorded an increase of 0.3%, supported by a rise in sales volumes of approximately 2%, compared to the same period of the previous year. This result is determined by a combination of external and internal factors that influenced commercial performance. The main drivers contributing to this outcome are detailed below:
Unfavorable market conditions→ The domestic pharmaceutical market recorded stagnation in key segments in which the company operates, including generic antibiotics, ointments and topical products.
→ In the context of economic uncertainty, visible changes in consumer behavior occurred, leading to a decline in demand for products from the company's portfolio. Many patients interrupted or postponed certain therapies, prioritizing urgent medical interventions. This cautious behavior translated into reduced adherence to preventive and maintenance therapies. In addition, consumers avoided purchasing over the counter products considered non-essential, preferring to tolerate minor symptoms rather than invest in preventive treatments.
→ A decrease in the incidence of certain conditions, including a reduction in respiratory infections as well as other pathologies treated with Antibiotice Iași medicines, resulted in lower than anticipated consumption levels.
Legislative and economic pressures→ The fiscal measures announced created a climate of uncertainty and caution, which influenced patients' consumption behavior. This was reflected in reduced traffic in pharmacies, a lower average receipt value, a smaller number of products per receipt, and a stronger focus on purchasing chronic treatments.
→ Rising inflation and declining purchasing power had a direct impact on the demand for medicines, particularly in the context of repeated price increases for certain pharmaceutical products, especially in the OTC segment. In addition, limitations in hospital budget allocations led to reduced purchases of medicines, including products from the Antibiotice Iași portfolio. This situation is further amplified by the underfunding of certain national programs (for example, the national tuberculosis program) and by the fact that procurement
1Data source: Cegedim Sell-Out Romania December 2025
through tenders is carried out strictly within the limits of the budgets approved for each hospital.
→ Reimbursements from the National Health Insurance House (CNAS) to pharmacies were delayed, creating financial instability among pharmacies. This was also reflected in the lower volume of orders, significantly reduced compared to previous periods.
→ The increase in the VAT rate starting in August 2025 generated cascading effects across the entire value chain, from the manufacturer to the final patient.
→ Reduced household spending on health and the decline in real wages in Romania also contributed to the decrease in medicine consumption.
Competitive factors→ Increased competition in the domestic pharmaceutical market: Strong competition from other companies, particularly those offering generic medicines at lower prices, required greater commercial efforts to maintain and stabilize sales. An intensification of promotions and discounts among competitors was observed, especially in the generic segments in which the company operates, particularly within national pharmacy chains and regional mini chains.
Despite the aspects mentioned above, in 2025, on the domestic market, Antibiotice:
maintained 4th place (out of a total of 379 companies) in terms of consumption measured in number of boxes on the segment of generic prescription and non-prescription medicines, with a 4.9% market share;
remained the value leader in the segment of generic prescription and non-prescription medicines sold in hospitals, with a 13.4% market share, in a market where 258 companies are active;
ranked 1st by volume (international units) in the total market for the pharmaceutical forms of ointments (19.8% of 133 companies), suppositories and ovules (32.6% of 56 companies), and injectable powders (59.9% of 60 companies);
ranked 1st by number of boxes sold in the total anti-infectives market, with a 20.8% market share, in a market where 73 companies operate.

The main markets where Antibiotice products were exported are Europe (43%), Asia Pacific (27%), the Americas (22%), and the Middle East and Africa (8%).
With regard to the export of finished products, revenues increased by 10% compared to the previous year. Sales of finished products followed an upward trend across all international territories where these products are marketed, except for the United States, where sales were consolidated at the average level of the last five years.
In 2025, medicines manufactured by Antibiotice reached 40 international territories, of which 28 are in Europe, which remains the company's main market. Sales growth of over 40% was generated both by markets where the company already has an established presence (the United Kingdom, the Nordic countries, the Netherlands, Hungary, Serbia and Moldova) and by new territories where projects have been initiated in the last two years (Germany, Italy, France, Poland, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria).
Higher sales were also achieved in other territories where the company is present, including Vietnam, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Ukraine. In the Middle East region, the company aims to expand its operational footprint into new territories such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan and Kuwait.
In 2025, new product registration procedures were initiated in several European countries, including Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, as well as in Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Sales in some of these territories are expected to begin in the second half of 2026, when the first registration procedures are anticipated to be completed.
Also in 2025, the company began international sales of the VetAria+ brand, with the first markets accessed being Moldova, Turkey and Kuwait.
Export of nystatin based active substances in non-micronized and micronized forms
The activities carried out in 2025 followed the trend of recent years and aligned with the strategy to consolidate the company's global leadership position in the nystatin active substance market for the 2025-2030 period. The Antibiotice nystatin active substance portfolio was marketed across all major markets worldwide.
The company maintained its presence in key markets, including Asia, Europe, North America and Latin America, while also making progress in development projects, thereby strengthening the foundation for the expansion of export markets for this range of active substances.
- Management of financial flows and operational expenditures
In an economic context marked by uncertainty, cost pressures and intense competition, financial results recorded a decline compared to the previous year.
On the domestic market, changes in consumer behavior led to decreases in the over-the-counter medicines segment and oral anti-infectives, combined with efficiency and differentiation strategies adopted by major pharmacy chains.
At the international level, discussions regarding regional tariff changes and market volatility created additional challenges. The company adapted quickly by offsetting the decline in sales in the United States through strengthening its presence in Western Europe, at prices lower by 40 to 50 percent, while maintaining a stable trend in the active substances portfolio.
Overall, these factors led to a decrease in gross profit in 2025 compared to 2024, amounting to 43 million RON.
The net profit as at 31 December 2025 amounted to 51.8 million RON.

In 2025, total revenues amounted to 685.83 million RON, 1% lower compared to the level recorded in 2024 of 693 million RON.
The generation of revenues led to total expenses of 625.68 million RON, 6% higher compared to
589.87 million RON in 2024.
At the end of 2025, a gross profit of 60.15 million RON was recorded, with the company taking measures to efficiently manage costs in a challenging market context, partially mitigating the impact of declining revenues.
Within total revenues, operating revenues amounted to 669.27 million RON, 2% lower compared to
685.37 million RON in 2024.
Turnover
In 2025, the company recorded a turnover of 645.28 million RON, 29.7 million RON lower compared to 675.01 million RON in 2024. This result reflects:
→ turnover on the domestic market amounting to 379.02 million RON;
→ turnover on international markets amounting to 266.26 million RON.
Overall, the factors mentioned above led to a decrease in turnover, with the impact driven by:
→ 68% from the decline in sales on the US market;
→ 13% from the decrease in consumption of oral antibiotics;
→ 4% from the contraction in demand for food supplements based on plant extracts, subject to Law 81/2022.
In the context of Law 81 on the commercialization of food supplements, it is important to note that Antibiotice Iași operates within an extended compliance framework specific to pharmaceutical manufacturers, which entails strict limitations on offering certain benefits, incentives or commercial policies commonly used in the food supplements market. By comparison, other producers not subject to the same requirements may apply more flexible promotional mechanisms and commercial tools, with a direct impact on sales dynamics and market share. Consequently, this difference in commercial regime may influence the competitiveness of the supplements segment within the company's portfolio and should be analyzed in correlation with the evolution of revenues and margins for this category.
Within the turnover structure:
→ revenues from the sale of products through own channels represent 76%, amounting to 492.26 million RON, 7% lower compared to 530.47 million RON in 2024;
→ revenues from the sale of products through partner channels represent 23.4% of net turnover, amounting to 150.98 million RON, 5% higher compared to 143.65 million RON in 2024.
Other operating income

Revenue related to the cost of inventories of finished goods - The production and sales structure achieved in 2025 resulted in revenue related to the cost of inventories of finished goods (reflecting the production cost of stored products and their variation) amounting to 8.97 million RON, compared to -3.5 million RON in 2024.
Revenue from research and development projects - Investments in research and development amounted to 12.79 million RON, compared to 11.12 million RON in 2024. In 2025, research stages were carried out for a total of 54 projects, distributed across divisions as follows:
→ Topical Products Division, 28 projects;
→ Oral Solid Dosage Forms Division, 11 projects;
→ Sterile Injectable Products Division, 15 projects.
Cost structure
Within total expenses, operating expenses amounted to 598.24 million RON, higher compared to
577.98 million RON in 2024.
The production structure, adapted to demand on both domestic and international markets, led to raw materials and materials expenses of 152.11 million RON, 5% higher compared to 145.35 million RON in 2024. This increase was driven by additional production of active substances and injectable powders for export.
Expenses related to electricity, natural gas and potable water amounted to 21.97 million RON, above the level recorded in 2024. The variation was driven both by changes in consumption volumes (higher for electricity and natural gas and lower for potable and wastewater) and by higher prices compared to the previous year.
The operation of photovoltaic plants in 2025 generated savings of 15% in electricity consumption, amounting to 2 million RON.
Personnel expenses amounted to 176.21 million RON, 6.5% higher than in 2024, reflecting the full implementation of salary increases granted under the 2024 collective labor agreement.

- expenses related to green certificates and waste recycling amounted to 1.43 million RON, at a level comparable to 2024. The company applied the provisions of Emergency Ordinance no. 20/2025 regarding a state aid scheme granting exemptions for certain categories of final consumers from the application of Law no. 220/2008 on the promotion of energy production from renewable sources, resulting in a reduction of these expenses by 0.38 million RON in 2025;

In 2025, a negative financial result of 10.9 million RON was recorded, although it improved by 6.6 million RON compared to 2024. This unfavorable result is mainly due to high volatility in the foreign exchange market, the appreciation of the euro (by 1.34% compared to the previous year's average), given that the company holds loans denominated in this currency, and the appreciation of the Romanian leu against the US dollar, while the company holds receivables exceeding its liabilities in USD.
