Pisa, 8 September 2025 - The Board of Directors of PharmaNutra S.p.A. (MTA; Ticker PHN), a company specializing in mineral-based nutritional supplements and medical devices for muscles and joints, today approved the Half-Year Financial Report as at 30 June 2025 (subject to limited audit).
Roberto Lacorte, Vice President of PharmaNutra S.p.A., states: "Pharmanutra continues to move swiftly towards new goals, developing its business based on strong certainties in terms of strategy and growth, confirming its usual double-digit growth and maintaining excellent profitability, despite an international and macroeconomic context that generally fuels doubts and hesitations. These are remarkable results in absolute terms, and even more significant considering the general environmentin which they were achieved. A very important point to highlight is the ever-increasing confidence we are receiving from the main investment lines, which represent important drivers of growth for the company, both in terms of international development and internal strategy. Investments that today require significant economic commitment, but will soon be offset by their returns."

The first half of 2025, which is in line with forecasts, recorded organic growth in net revenues of 10.4%, with an increase of approximately +2% in Ebitda compared to the first half of 2024 as a result of the investments made to support development projects being implemented (United States, Cetilar® Nutrition, China). Excluding the aforementioned investments (approximately 4 million Euros), the gross operating margin on revenues for the period would have been approximately 32%, in line with that of the previous year, further confirming the solidity of the recurring business.
From a financial point of view, there is a temporary absorption of liquidity linked to the distribution of dividends and the payment of the earn-out contractually provided for by the previous shareholders of Akern.
SALES REVENUEConsolidated sales revenues in the first half of 2025 recorded an increase of 10.4%, compared to the same period of the previous year, and amounted to 61.9 million Euros (56.1 million Euros as at 30 June 2024), with a positive contribution from both the Italian and international markets. The contribution to
revenues of new initiatives (USA, Spain and Cetilar® Nutrition), although growing compared to the previous year, is still marginal.
REVENUES ITALYRevenues from sales on the Italian market increased by approximately 9%, reaching Euro 41 million (Euro 37.5 million as of June 30, 2024), in a very challenging context due to the operating dynamics that continue to characterize the wholesaler channel.
FOREIGN REVENUESRevenues from sales on foreign markets amounted to Euro 20.9 million, with an increase of approximately 13% compared to the first half of the previous year (Euro 18.6 million); the foreign impact on total revenues remained constant and amounted to approximately 34%. To date, the Group has orders in its backlog for the entire third and fourth quarters.
TURNOVER BY PRODUCT LINEThe analysis of revenues by product line as of June 30, 2025 shows further growth for Apportal® which, compared to the same period of the previous year, against a market growth of 6.5% in value and 4.9% in terms of units sold, recorded an increase in value of 12.5% and 17.1%1 in units sold.
The performance of the Sideral® line was positive, with a 7% increase in revenues, a significant result in view of a rather challenging competitive environment. On the Italian market, compared to the same period of the previous year, there was a growth in volumes of 2%, compared to an increase in the volumes of all other iron-based food supplements of 1.5% and the reduction of the drug market of 2.1%.2

It is worth highlighting the excellent results achieved by Sidevit® B12, the innovative sucrosomial® vitamin launched in November last year, which in just six months generated revenues of Euro 1.1 million, reaching a market share of 2.1%4 in value. In 2024, the Italian vitamin B market generated total revenues of around 130 million euros.
