Financial and operational highlightsFinancial 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.

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

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

WHC and GenMed saw weaker Clean EBIT primarily due to top-line shortfalls
CNS remained the largest earnings contributor in Q1 on the back of continued strong performance of Vraylar®
WHC Clean EBIT came in at HUF 9.4bn in Q1, below the recent run-rate of profitability, due to some missing revenues (timing of shipment issues), higher R&D expenses (in line with plans) and also due to the adverse effect of the appreciating HUF
GenMed's Clean EBIT fell materially YoY, reflecting weaker revenues and lower gross profit; the decline was mitigated by opex discipline
BIO Clean EBIT was positive in Q1 2026, supported by strong revenues, lower R&D expenses, but also by some milestone income and the reversal of impairment

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

Clean EBIT (HUFbn)
CNS revenues increased by 4% in Q1 YoY, affected by the weak USD and the strong HUF (only partly offset by hedging)
Clean EBIT increased by 10% in Q1 YoY due to higher revenues, lower R&D expenses and some milestone income
R&D expenses were 12% lower in Q1 YoY despite significantly higher cost related to RGH-932 with two Phase 2 clinical trials. 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.

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.

Clean EBIT (HUFbn)
Q1 2025 Q2 2025 Q3 2025 Q4 2025 Q1 2026 Q1 2025 Q1 2026
Reported revenues were broadly flat in Q1 (CER growth +6%), affected by some pre-shipments to EEU markets in Q4 (warehouse transition), the timing of some APAC deliveries (slipping into Q2) and the strong HUF. 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.

Key messages
Revenues in Q1 2026 showed a significant increase YoY, due to strong teriparatide shipments and growing contribution from new product revenues (rising denosumab biosimilar sales since the launch in late-2025, early-2026 across numerous Richter affiliates and partners).
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

Teriparatide biosimilar (incl. 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.

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.

Key messages
Net financial income amounted to HUF 10.5bn in Q1 2026, somewhat lower than a year ago (HUF 13.4bn), primarily due to smaller FX gains
Exchange rates continue to bring volatility to the below-the-line financial items, mostly through unrealized (and realized) gains/losses recorded on working capital items. 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
