Q1 2026 Earnings Report 12 May 2026 Pharma Revenues (CER*) High-single-digit growth Q1 2026 CER revenue growth was 5.9% 1 Clean EBIT (CER*) High-single-digit growth Q1 2026 CER Clean EBIT growth was 15% 2026 guidance Q1 2026 highlights - an eventful quarter; guidance reiterated H1 Q1-Q3 FY Q1 HUF 217.3bn HUF 69.8bn HUF 67.4bn (EUR 566mn) (EUR 181mn) (EUR 175mn) Pharma Revenues ↓ -1.3% Clean EBIT 2 +1.8% EBIT 1 -0.6% HUF 77.0bn Free Cash-flow 3 HUF +17.1bn HUF 357 EPS 2 * CER (constant exchange rate) calculation is based on 2025 actual FX rate (HUFEUR = 397.65) ↓ -4.3% 15.7% Return on Equity 4 ↓ -2.1ppt 1 EBIT: Profit/loss from operations 2 Clean EBIT (cEBIT)**: excludes certain significant non-recurring items from "Profit from operations" such as intangible and PPE impairment charges, restructuring costs, business combination charges and other non-recurring items; 3 Free Cash Flow: Operating Cash flow after changes in Net Working Capital plus interest received less Capex (PP&E) 4 Return on Equity: Cumulative net profit for the last 4 quarters divided by the actual quarter's equity Financial and operational highlights Financial highlights CER revenue growth was 5.9% in Q1 2026, slightly below the high-single-digit growth guidance for the full year. FX was a major drag on reported revenues, representing more than 7ppt headwind (due to the weak USD and stronger HUF). Hence, reported Pharma revenues declined by 1.3% YoY to HUF 217bn in Q1 2026. CER revenues growth was driven by Vraylar demand growth (sales up 18% in USD) and robust BIO revenues (+35% CER), while both WHC (+6% CER) and particularly GenMed (-8.5% CER) underperformed temporarily. Gross profit (pharma) fell by 4.7% YoY to HUF 147bn in Q1 2026; gross margin declined to 67.6% (-2.4ppt) CER Clean EBIT (pharma) growth was 15% supported by strong cost discipline (lower opex) and some milestone income. Reported Clean EBIT (pharma) grew by only 1.5% to HUF 69.7bn due to the FX headwind. Free cash flow (before M&A) was at HUF 77bn in Q1 2026, up 29% YoY, on the back of stronger operating cash flows and no increase in Net Working Capital funding need. The AGM on 29 April approved the payment of HUF 120bn of total dividends from 2025 profits (corresponding to a DPS of approx. HUF 656), including HUF 96.6bn regular dividend and HUF 23.4bn special dividend. Business drivers and key events (Q1 2026) The European Commission (EC) granted marketing authorization for Tuyory®, its biosimilar to RoActemra® tocilizumab. This followed a positive CHMP opinion, as reported on 27 February 2026 Richter acquired the women's health discovery portfolio of Celmatix Inc., a US-based pioneering women's health biotech company dedicated to translating advances in female biology into novel therapeutics Richter and Fuji signed an agreement regarding the joint development of multiple product candidates in women's health, including the recently acquired Celmatix portfolio as well as the FMC2 project of FimmCyte The European Commission granted approval for the marketing authorization of FYLREVY® (Estetrol) as Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for oestrogen deficiency symptoms in postmenopausal women 3 Access to health via innovative and affordable solutions Selected KPIs 5.1mn units emergency contraceptives distributed via two NGO partners (Africa and Sri Lanka, 2025) ~120,000 patients reached with Ryeqo ® (since launch) 3.4mn total cariprazine TRx (US, 2025) 9 successful clinical studies (GenMed, 2025) Delivering significant progress in expanding patient reach through both innovative and affordable solutions WHC CNS BIO GenMed Strengthening original research pipeline in WHC through M&A and partnerships (FimmCyte, Celmatix, Fuji) Tripling early-stage research workforce Fylrevy ® brings the first hormonal innovation to menopause market in several decades Awareness raising for patients and educational initiatives for HCPs in several countries Cariprazine is widely available globally (67 countries) ~745,000 patients treated (Europe and US, 2025) ~2,140,000 total patients treated since launch (Europe and US) New low-dose options of Vraylar® available now, including for pediatric use AbbVie R&D collaboration 4 biosimilar marketing authorizations in Europe in the last 12 months (two denosumabs, tocilizumab and in-licensed ustekinumab) Expanding access to biologic therapies in chronic conditions Denosumab also received FDA approval for the US Successful product launches in the blood&metabolic and pain&neurology TAs to expand access to affordable medicines 9 successful clinical studies advanced to registration in 2025 4 Financial Highlights Q1 2026 CER revenues +5.9%; BIO, Vraylar ® ahead, GM behind plans Key messages Q1 2026 Revenues HUF bn Reported growth, % CER growth, % Women's Healthcare 79.4 0.7% 6.2% Vraylar 58.7 4.4% 18.9% CNS (ex-Vraylar) 3.4 -3.7% 1.3% GenMed 57.7 -12.0% -8.5% BIO 16.7 28.0% 34.8% Other 1.3 -53.2% Total Pharma 217.3 -1.3% 5.9% WHC sales growth (+6% CER) was affected by the timing of deliveries (some contraception sales in APAC likely to be realized later this year; some pre-shipments affected EEU/CEU revenues). The underlying strength of the leading products (Drovelis ® , Ryeqo ® , Lenzetto ® , Bemfola ® and Evra ® ) remains intact Global Vraylar ® net revenues by AbbVie reached USD 905mn in Q1 (+18% YoY), reflecting strong prescription growth in both bipolar disorder and adjunctive MDD, while Richter's royalty revenues grew by 4% to HUF 59bn CNS (ex-Vraylar ® ) revenues were broadly flat YoY (+1% CER), as volatile shipment schedules of Reagila ® hide strong underlying demand trends in most markets BIO revenues jumped in Q1 (+35% CER), driven by rebounding teriparatide revenues from a low base and new product sales GenMed revenues fell by 8.5% in Q1 YoY (CER) due to lack of flu season (weak OTC), portfolio streamlining, trade-related financial headwinds and distributor stock phasing in some markets Very strong FX headwind - reported revenues declined 1% in Q1 Pharmaceutical Revenues by region (HUF bn) Pharmaceutical Revenues, cumulative (HUF bn), reported -1.3% 220.1 217.3 Pharma other BIO GM CNS WHC 79.4 78.8 62.2 59.8 57.7 65.5 1.3 16.7 2.9 13.1 Q1 2025 Q1 2026 Western Europe Central Europe Eastern Europe North America Asia & Pacific Latin America Rest of the World 2.7 2.4 15.0 10.4 7.5 7.9 41.6 45.9 46.1 44.7 43.8 39.1 63.5 66.8 Q1 2025 Q1 2026 Pharmaceutical Revenues (HUF bn), reported Impact of the exchange rate changes on revenues (HUF bn) -1.3% 237.5 245.2 220.1 211.2 217.3 Pharma other BIO GM CNS WHC -15.4 USD RUB EUR Other -3.3 -3.1 -9.3 0. 2 Q1 2026 Q1 2025 Q2 2025 Q3 2025 Q4 2025 Q1 2026 FX trends hurt CoGS, help Opex; efficiency measures at play Operating costs as a % of Pharma revenues (%) Operating expenses (pharma) (HUFbn) 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 30 30 31 31 33 32 30 30 30 19 19 21 20 17 18 18 18 16 11 6 13 11 6 12 6 7 11 6 11 6 9 6 9 5 10 6 12.5 73.8 41.0 22.6 13.3 76.9 12.9 74.7 29.0 16.3 90.5 43.7 44.0 23.8 25.1 14.3 14.1 81.9 83.1 S&M R&D G&A 12.6 13.4 70.8 73.9 76.1 13.5 22.7 24.9 19.5 22.9 22.6 38.5 36.9 45.2 37.8 38.5 40.1 Q1 24 Q2 24 Q3 24 Q4 24 Q1 25 Q2 25 Cost of Sales S&M R&D G&A Q3 25 Q4 25 Q1 26 Q1 2024 Q2 2024 Q3 2024 Q4 2024 Q1 2025 Q2 2025 Q3 2025 Q4 2025 Q1 2026 Operating costs as a % of Pharma revenues (%) Key messages 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 33 32 31 31 31 21 21 19 19 19 12 11 5 5 10 6 12 7 10 6 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024 FY 2025 Cost of Sales rose in Q1 2026 due to some deliveries' timing, composition effect and the strong HUF; hence gross margin declined to 67.6% in the period Operating expenses remained under control and benefited from long-term cost management efforts and FX trends; total opex was down 7% YoY, driven by lower S&M expenses R&D expenses declined by 5% in Q1 YoY, mostly reflecting a decline in BIO R&D, offsetting higher WHC R&D; R&D expenses were at 10% of sales Sales & Marketing expenses fell 9% in Q1 YoY, due to strict cost control, significant benefit from FX and lower activity in APAC G&A expenses were 5% lower YoY, supported by efficiency projects, favorable FX Strong CER Clean EBIT growth of 15% on Vraylar ® and BIO Pharmaceutical Clean EBIT, cumulative (HUF bn) Key messages Q1 2025 Q1 2026 53.2 -0.2 -0.1 9.4 6.2 1.1 -5.6 48.5 14.0 12.0 68.7 69.7 Pharma other BIO GM WHC CNS CER Clean EBIT growth was a remarkable 15% in Q1 YoY.

Net Profit* items inc/exp Key messages Net financial income amounted to HUF 10.5bn in Q1 2026, somewhat lower than a year ago (HUF 13.4bn in Q1 2025). This included FX gains of HUF 5bn (mostly unrealized gains on the stronger USD closing rates at the end of March), net interest income of HUF 3bn (rising YoY) and other financials items of HUF 2.5bn (mostly derivatives). If current exchanges rates hold, Q2 may bring in material FX losses (likely mostly unrealized) on working capital items. Taxes are accounted for in accordance with the Global Minimum Tax (15%); effective tax rate was marginally higher in Q1 2026 Net profit was HUF 65.3bn in Q1 2026, 4% lower YoY, as a result of flat operating profit and smaller net financial income than a year ago Sustained robust cash generation in Q1 2026 Free Cash Flow in Q1 2026 (HUF bn) No material change in NWC in Q1 2026 Key messages 3.4 3.1 Free Cash Flow was HUF 77bn in Q1 2026, rising by 29% YoY on the back of stronger operating cash flows and no increase in Application of Cash Flow 76.4 0.9 77.4 77.0 1.6 0.8 0.0 0.0 Net Working Capital funding need Net Working Capital was practically unchanged during Q1 2026, compared to material HUF 18bn increase in NWC a year ago Cash conversion days - as a consequence - hardly changed in Q1 compared to the previous quarter and were lower YoY Op.

This was more than offset by lower spending on other projects. Topline data of RGH-932 Phase 2 study indicated that the overall difference between the drug- and placebo-treated groups was not statistically significant, however, in bipolar 1 patients an efficacy signal was observed. RGH-932 was generally safe and well-tolerated; the safety profile was generally similar to placebo suggesting better safety profile over cariprazine. +9.6% 66.6 58.5 57.5 48.5 53.2 Q1 2025 Q2 2025 Q3 2025 Q4 2025 Q1 2026 48.5 53.2 +9.6% Q1 2025 Q1 2026 Vraylar ® : strong, double-digit prescription growth CNS Vraylar ® Key messages +4.4% 68.9 56.2 60.7 64.1 58.7 Q1 2025 Q2 2025 Q3 2025 Q4 2025 Q1 2026 Reagila ® -3.7% 4.3 3.5 3.9 3.0 3.4 Q1 2025 Q2 2025 Q3 2025 Q4 2025 Q1 2026 +4.4% 49.4 56.2 58.7 Q1 2024 Q1 2025 Q1 2026 -3.7% 3.5 3.5 3.4 Q1 2024 Q1 2025 Q1 2026 Vraylar ® royalty income reached HUF 59bn in Q1 2026, up 4.4% YoY affected by the weak USD and the strong HUF Global Vraylar ® sales were USD 905mn, up by 18.4%, reflecting strong prescription growth in both bipolar disorder and adjunctive MDD Vraylar ® has significant leadership, with new prescription share roughly double the next closest branded atypical antipsychotic therapy. AbbVie expects continued momentum following the introduction of new lower doses allowing prescribing flexibility, as well as pediatric use. Key messages Reagila ® revenues (from own and partnered territories) ended up at HUF 3.4bn in Q1 2026, down slightly YoY, as strong in-market sales growth was offset by the timing of deliveries 16 All data in HUFbn * ODT = orodispersible tablets To maximize Reagila's potential, Richter plans to launch new indications and drug forms in own and partnered territories. Recently, Reagila ODT* has been approved in Russia, while additional indications (next to schizophrenia) have been approved in Vietnam, Azerbaijan, Qatar, Bahrain and Egypt.

Underlying in-market sales performance of focus brands (Ryeqo ® , Lenzetto ® , Drovelis ® ) remained very strong. Gross margin declined YoY mainly due to some missing revenues and the revenue-mix effect; some correction is expected in Q2. S&M expenses reflect streamlined investments behind focus brands, while G&A costs remain well controlled. R&D expenses were up materially YoY, in line with plans, as new projects, including from recent deals (Celmatix and Fimmcyte), now fully utilize WHC discovery capacity. Clean EBIT reached HUF 9.4bn in Q1, down 33%, reflecting flat revenues, weaker gross margin and full R&D cost utilization. -32.8% 14.0 13.8 14.7 10.6 9.4 Q1 2025 Q2 2025 Q3 2025 Q4 2025 Q1 2026 -32.8% 14.0 9.4 Q1 2025 Q1 2026 Menopause and UF/EM growth vs. temporarily weaker OCs in Q1 WHC Total WHC revenues by therapeutic areas (quarterly, HUF bn) Key messages Other WHC Fertility Menopause UF and EM Contraception Q1 2025 Q2 2025 Q3 2025 Q4 2025 Q1 2026 Performance of the fast-growing focus TAs were overall in line with expectations in Q1 2026.

Gross margin was steady and gross profit rose on revenue and volume uplift. Clean EBIT was again positive (similarly to Q4), boosted by the much-reduced R&D spend, but also some milestone income and impairment reversal. The revenue growth seen in Q1 may not sustain throughout the year due to some expected moderation in teriparatide shipments, while the -5.6 -2.9 -5.2 0.5 Clean EBIT (HUFbn) 1.1 1.1 price erosion trends of biosimilars, particularly in European markets, may affect the expected ramp-up of new product revenues.

Terrosa ® ) revenues reached record highs and were up by 40% Q1 YoY, slightly higher than in Q4 2025. Revenue growth was driven by continued high-volume shipments in Q1 2026 and strong in-market performance of many Richter affiliates and some commercial partners. Such high level of shipments may not be maintained over the full year, as some slowdown in shipments expected in later periods. CDMO revenues in Q1 2026 were somewhat below the year ago level. Activities and orders remain on plan, and some quarterly revenue fluctuation is primarily driven by order fulfillment and payment timings. We expect CDMO revenues to be broadly flat over the full year. -14.1% 11.1 6.9 7.9 6.1 6.0 -14.1% 6.9 5.4 6.0 Q1 2025 Q2 2025 Q3 2025 Q4 2025 Q1 2026 Q1 2024 Q1 2025 Q1 2026 General Medicines GM GM A challenging start to the year with external headwinds Gross Margin % Sales & Marketing G&A R&D Clawback Inventory and receivable impairment 55.2 -14 422 -5 719 -3 038 -676 -367 50.4 -13 317 -4 955 -3 340 -581 -747 -8 -13 10 -14 n.a. 65.5 65.3 65.1 -12.0% 53.6 57.7 57.7 GM | HUF mn Revenues Q1 2025 65 541 Q1 2026 57 702 Ch. % YoY Revenue (HUFbn) -12 Cost of Sales -29 349 -28 599 -3 Gross Profit 36 192 29 103 -20 -12.0% 65.5 Clean EBIT 11 970 6 163 -49 Clean EBIT (HUFbn) cEBIT Margin % 18.3 10.7 Q1 2025 Q2 2025 Q3 2025 Q4 2025 Q1 2026 Q1 2025 Q1 2026 Key messages Revenues declined by 12% YoY to HUF 57.7bn in Q1 2026. While in-market sales trends remained broadly positive across most Rx markets and products, OTC performance was adversely impacted by the absence of a flu season in Q1. Q1 performance was also affected by portfolio streamlining, including the discontinuation of some high-impact assets (e.g. Lunaldin, Decaris) as well as trade-related financial headwinds, such as mandatory price adjustments in certain markets (notably Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan). Operational execution and distributor stock phasing, originating from Q3 2025, are gradually normalizing; yet they continued to weigh on Q1. Disciplined cost control remains a priority, which mitigated the cEBIT decline. Higher R&D reflects targeted investments in GLP-1 assets. -48.5% 12.0 9.9 10.6 6.2 4.5 Q1 2025 Q2 2025 Q3 2025 Q4 2025 Q1 2026 -48.5% 12.0 6.2 Q1 2025 Q1 2026 GM Blood&metab driven by launches, Pain recovers, OTC suffers Total GenMed revenues by therapeutic areas (quarterly, HUF bn) Key messages Blood&metabolic non-strategic TA OTC Cardiology Pain&neurology Q1 2025 Q2 2025 Q3 2025 Q4 2025 Q1 2026 Blood & metabolic category saw timely launch of Rivaroxaban in wave-2 CEE countries.

In Q1 2026 FX gains amounted to HUF 5bn (vs. HUF 10bn FX gains a year ago), all unrealized, due to the stronger USD at the end of the period. Due to exchange rate trends since the end of Q1 - renewed depreciation of the USD and a strengthening HUF -, unrealized FX gains are likely to disappear and turn into FX losses in the coming periods Net interest income amounted to HUF 3bn in Q1 2026, higher YoY due to the larger net cash position Richter continues to use hedging transactions to mitigate some of the risks resulting from the volatility of the functional currency (or commodities), and these transactions had some positive impact (net gain) on net financials in Q1 2026 Business units' P&L in Q1 2026 Q1 2026 WHC CNS BIO GM Pharma other Pharma total Other Eliminations Group total Revenues 79.4 62.2 16.7 57.7 1.3 217.3 5.5 -2.6 220.2 Cost of Sales -29.7 -0.4 -10.6 -28.6 -1.1 -70.4 -4.4 2.6 -72.2 Gross Profit 49.6 61.7 6.1 29.1 0.3 146.9 1.2 0.0 148.0 Sales & Marketing -22.9 -1.2 -2.6 -13.3 -0.1 -40.1 -0.5 0.0 -40.6 General & Administrative -6.8 -0.2 -1.3 -5.0 -0.1 -13.4 -0.5 0.0 -13.9 Research & Development -7.6 -8.3 -3.5 -3.3 0.0 -22.6 0.0 0.0 -22.6 Clawback -2.5 -0.3 -0.4 -0.6 0.0 -3.8 0.0 0.0 -3.8 Milestone income 0.4 1.4 1.8 0.0 0.0 3.6 0.0 0.0 3.6 Inventory and receivable impairment -0.9 0.1 0.9 -0.7 -0.2 -0.8 -0.1 0.0 -0.9 Clean EBIT 9.4 53.2 1.1 6.2 -0.1 69.7 0.1 0.0 69.8 Note: The items of the Pharmaceutical segment's profit and loss statement are allocated to the business units by product groups, where direct correspondence exists.
