EARNINGS PERFORMANCE
Revenue
Overall, the Group reported revenue growth of ; as of the end of March , revenue stood at . million, an increase of . million over the previous year's figure of . million.
The following trends are evident in the individual segments:
External revenue in the Medical segment amounted to . million in the first three months of the year, significantly exceeding the previous year's figure (. million). The pharmaceutical radioisotopes business remains the most important source of revenue. Of particular note are the trends in revenue from generators and in the Contract Manufacturing & Development (CDMO) sector. To facilitate a better comparison with the same quarter of the previous year, two events should be highlighted: the delays caused by the cyberattack in February and the associated, short-term suspension of deliveries of gallium generators had a negative impact on revenue in the Medical segment. These delays were largely only made up for in the second quarter of . Furthermore, revenue from the licensing business amounted to . million in the first quarter of ; no revenue from the licensing business has been realised in to date.
The Isotope Products segment generated external revenue of . million, which was . million or approximately lower than in the first three months of the previous year. A strong fourth quarter of was followed by a subdued start to the year, which regained significant momentum in March. Overall, the product mix was somewhat weaker.
EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) from continuing operations before special items (adjusted EBIT)
For the reconciliation from EBIT to adjusted EBIT, please refer to the information in the notes to the interim consolidated financial statements in the section 'Key performance indicators defined by management'.

In the Medical segment, adjusted EBIT stood at . million, which was . million higher than the adjusted EBIT for the same period last year. Gross profit rose by . million to . million, whilst the gross margin improved by around
percentage point to . This improvement in earnings and margins is primarily attributable to the high-margin sales of generators mentioned above.
In the Isotope Products segment, adjusted EBIT fell by around . million to . million. This was primarily due to the decline in gross profit by . million to . million. The gross margin fell from in the previous year to in the first three months of the year. The main reason for the decline was the effect described above, combined with the shift between product groups.
The Other segment, comprising the holding company, closed the first three months of the year with an adjusted EBIT of -. million (previous year: - thousand). The change is primarily due to the retrospective adjustment of share-based payments under the LTI bonus programme.

ASSETS AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Balance Sheet
The balance sheet total at the end of March increased by . million compared with the annual financial statements and now stands at million (previous year: million).
On the assets side, the increase is primarily attributable to the rise in property, plant and equipment by . million to
. million. This is mainly due to investments in land and buildings as well as in production facilities, including the expansion and modernisation of existing facilities and ongoing replacement investments. In addition, the exercise of the convertible bond by Pentixapharm Holding AG led to an increase in financial assets of . million. Trade receivables increased by . million to . million. In addition, income tax receivables rose by . million to . million during the reporting period (as at December : . million).
On the liabilities side, the increase is primarily attributable to higher income tax liabilities, which rose by . million to
. million (previous year: . million), as well as to the increase in equity.
Equity rose by . million to million as at March . This increase is primarily attributable to the profit for the period of . million, as well as to the . million increase in other reserves resulting from positive foreign currency translation differences (including EUR-USD), which were recognised in other comprehensive income. The equity ratio stands at .
As at March , . million was reported as long-term loan liabilities and . million as short-term loan liabilities.
Liquidity
Operating cash flow, at . million, is below the previous year's level (previous year: . million). This is primarily due to tax payments of . million, which were significantly lower in the comparative period (. million).
The cash outflow from investing activities (. million) results from investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment (. million) as well as the payment of . million for the acquisition of convertible bonds from Pentixapharm Holding AG, which exercised its call option in the first quarter of to redeem part of the convertible bond. The main focus of investment was on the expansion of the sites in Wilmington, USA (focus: Lu-), São Paulo, Brazil (focus: SPECT), Berlin-Buch in the former 'laundry' (focus: Ga-), and Braunschweig (focus: infrastructure for analytical and microbiological laboratory services). There were no corporate acquisitions or disposals during the reporting period.
The cash outflow from financing activities (. million) is primarily attributable to the repayment of loan liabilities amounting to . million (previous year: . million) and the repayment of lease liabilities amounting to . million (previous year: . million).
In total, cash and cash equivalents as at March decreased by . million compared with the end of to
. million (as at December : . million).

OUTLOOK

RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
In the Annual Report, we described risks that could have a significant adverse impact on our business, assets, financial position and results of operations, as well as our reputation. We also outlined the most significant opportunities and the structure of our risk management system. Among the multitude of risks, the potential impact of international trade and sanctions policy certainly represents one of the current challenges. In particular, geopolitical developments relating to the conflict in the Middle East are leading to increased uncertainty in the economic environment. At the time of reporting, however, this has not resulted in any material impact on the Eckert & Ziegler Group's net assets, financial position and results of operations.
Additional risks and opportunities of which we are unaware, or which we currently consider immaterial, could also affect our business activities. At present, no risks have been identified which, individually or in combination with other risks, could jeopardise the Group's continued existence.

- NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
General Information
These interim consolidated financial statements as at March comprise the financial statements of Eckert & Ziegler SE and its subsidiaries.
Accounting policies
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Eckert & Ziegler SE as at March have been prepared in accordance with IAS , the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applicable to interim reporting. All standards of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), London, applicable in the EU as at the reporting date, as well as the valid interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and the Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC), have been taken into account. The interim report does not include all the notes to the financial statements that are usually included in financial statements for a full financial year and is therefore condensed. Accordingly, the interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Eckert & Ziegler SE as at December . The accounting policies set out in the notes to the consolidated financial statements have been applied unchanged, except in respect of the first-time application of amended standards, which, however, had no impact.
The new standard IFRS (Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements) has been published by the IASB and is to be applied by the Company from the mandatory first-time application date. The Company is currently working on the analysis and implementation of the new requirements. The provisions of IFRS have not yet been applied in these interim financial statements. Based on the current status of the analysis, the first-time application is expected to have a minor impact on the presentation and structure of the financial statements, without any material effects on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Furthermore, there are extended disclosure requirements in the notes, in particular regarding key performance indicators defined by management.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the amount and presentation of recognised assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual figures may differ from these estimates. Key assumptions and estimates are made regarding the useful life of assets, the recoverable amounts of fixed assets, the collectability of receivables, and the recognition and measurement of provisions. Due to rounding, individual figures may not add up exactly to the stated total.
This interim report contains all the necessary information and adjustments required to present a true and fair view of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Eckert & Ziegler SE as at the date of the interim report. The interim results for the current financial year do not necessarily allow conclusions to be drawn regarding the development of future results.

Key performance indicator defined by management
Since , 'EBIT before exceptional items' or 'adjusted EBIT' for short has been used as a key performance indicator alongside revenue. This key performance indicator assesses the operational performance of the core business excluding special items. These include financial and currency results, losses under IAS (hyperinflation), acquisition costs, divestments, impairments or restructuring costs. In the previous year, "restructuring" referred to expenses related to the cyberattack. The financial result summarises the results from equity-accounted investments as well as effects from the valuation of financial instruments and consolidation differences. When calculating this key figure, EBIT is increased by extraordinary expenses and reduced by extraordinary income. The derivation is shown here:

Material transactions with related parties
In accordance with IAS , transactions with persons or entities that control Eckert & Ziegler SE or are controlled by it must be disclosed. Transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, have been eliminated in the course of consolidation and are therefore not disclosed. Details of transactions between the Group and other related parties are set out below.
In addition to the Management Board and members of the Supervisory Board, the following are considered to be other significant related parties and entities for the current financial year:
Eckert Wagniskapital und Frühphasenfinanzierung GmbH, which holds . of the shares in Eckert & Ziegler SE and whose principal shareholder, Dr Andreas Eckert, is Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Eckert & Ziegler SE. The Group regards Dr Eckert as a related party and the 'ultimate controlling party', as he previously held an indirect majority of votes at the Annual General Meetings of Eckert & Ziegler SE.
ELSA Beteiligungen GmbH, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eckert Wagniskapital und Frühphasenfinanzierung GmbH.
In the first quarter of , the following significant transactions were carried out with related parties, all of which were conducted on arm's length terms:
ELSA Beteiligungen GmbH has leased a production and administration building in Berlin-Buch to Eckert & Ziegler SE. During the first three months of the year, Eckert & Ziegler SE recognised an expense of thousand (previous year: thousand) for the rent. As at March , lease liabilities to ELSA Beteiligungen GmbH amounting to
, thousand (as at December : , thousand) are recognised in the balance sheet due to the application of lease accounting in accordance with IFRS .
Ms Jutta Ludwig, former member of the Executive Board and current member of the Supervisory Board of Eckert & Ziegler SE, has many years of specialised operational experience in the business areas of Eckert & Ziegler Radiopharma GmbH. Since January , she has been making this expertise available to Eckert & Ziegler Radiopharma GmbH as part of additional consultancy services that go beyond her role on the Supervisory Board, with a particular focus on expanding business activities in China. Up to March , thousand was recognised as an expense (previous year:
thousand).
The Eckert & Ziegler Group's balances with related parties regarding receivables and payables as at March are as follows:

The Pentixapharm Group regards Dr Eckert as a related party and the 'ultimate controlling party', as he indirectly holds a majority of the voting rights at the general meetings of Pentixapharm Holding AG via Eckert Wagniskapital und Frühphasenfinanzierung GmbH. Transactions with Pentixapharm Holding AG and its subsidiaries are therefore also included in this report.
Pentixapharm AG purchased services and goods from Eckert & Ziegler Radiopharma GmbH (,) and from Eckert & Ziegler Eurotope GmbH (,).
Under a subscription agreement dated August , a convertible bond in the amount of . million was issued between Eckert & Ziegler SE as subscriber and Pentixapharm Holding AG as issuer. The bonds will only be delivered to Eckert & Ziegler SE once Pentixapharm Holding AG has called for payment from Eckert & Ziegler SE and payment has been made. In the first quarter of , Pentixapharm Holding AG exercised its right of redemption to claim part of the convertible bond (amounting to , thousand). Eckert & Ziegler SE expects Pentixapharm Holding AG to continue to exercise its call option in the near future. This could give rise to a balance sheet risk for the company.
The balances between the Eckert & Ziegler Group and the Pentixapharm Group regarding receivables, loan receivables including interest and liabilities as at March are as follows:

Disclosure on financial instruments
The financial assets, measured at fair value, comprise the following items as at March :
The Group has hedged a . million loan with a -year term and variable interest rates based on the -month Euribor using an interest rate cap. Like the loan, this interest rate cap has a nominal amount of . million, a term of years and a similar repayment structure. The strike rate is a -month Euribor of .. As at March , the fair value of the derivative asset (valuation hierarchy Level ) arising from the interest rate cap was thousand (as at December : thousand). The fair value of the interest rate cap was determined using a standard interest rate option valuation model, taking market parameters into account.
As at the balance sheet date, the consolidated balance sheet shows liabilities to banks amounting to , thousand (as at December : , thousand). The fair value of these loan liabilities is , thousand. The fair value was determined using market parameters.
The financial liabilities, measured at fair value, comprise the following items as at March :
The convertible bond issued under the subscription agreement dated August between Eckert & Ziegler SE as subscriber and Pentixapharm Holding AG as issuer has an impact on the financial statements of Eckert & Ziegler SE. The () bonds will only be delivered to Eckert & Ziegler SE once Pentixapharm Holding AG has called for payment from Eckert & Ziegler SE and payment has been made. Pentixapharm Holding AG exercised its drawing right in the first quarter of , but may still draw down . million. This constitutes a pending transaction; accordingly, the bond itself is not recognised. However, the subscription agreement already gives rise to rights and obligations for the parties, which are expressed in accounting terms as a derivative. This resulted in a liability of
thousand as at March ( December : thousand) (measurement hierarchy Level ).
Eckert & Ziegler does not hedge any balance sheet transaction risks, but exclusively selected operational USD cash flows from its European export business. The hedging structure, which has been in place since March , is premium-neutral and operates as follows: the hedging protection only takes effect from an exchange rate of . USD/, whilst, in return, Eckert & Ziegler forgoes any exchange rate gains above an average level of . USD/. The currency options, which are concluded over a period of one year, thus offer protection against adverse exchange rate movements, but allow only limited opportunities to participate in positive developments. Put simply, with this measure Eckert & Ziegler is trading security for upside potential: the company is hedging against developments that would be detrimental to it, but at the same time is foregoing some of the opportunities to benefit from a significant appreciation of the US dollar. The fair value measurement of the FX hedging instruments was carried out on the basis of a standard option valuation model using relevant market parameters (valuation hierarchy Level ). As at
March , this resulted in a liability of thousand.
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, current receivables, trade payables and other current trade payables and receivables is approximately equal to their carrying amount. This is primarily due to the short maturity of such instruments.
