OUR HISTORY

The PharmaNutra Group is a group of companies specialized in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and nutritional sectors. To date, the Italian companies PharmaNutra S.p.A. (Parent Company) Akern S.r.l. and Athletica Cetilar® S.r.l. are part of the Group., in addition to the two foreign subsidiaries PharmaNutra

U.S.A. Corp. and PharmaNutra España S.L.U.

The history of the Group began in 2000 with the foundation of Alesco S.r.l., a company focused on the development of nutraceutical raw materials, followed in 2003 by the establishment of PharmaNutra S.p.A., specialized in the development of nutraceutical products and medical devices. Finally, in 2010, Junia Pharma S.r.l., a company operating in the pediatric sector, was born. In 2022, following the acquisition of 100% of Akern S.r.l., the Group opened up to the nutritional research sector, internalizing a unique

technical-scientific know-how and generating important synergies.

Since 2013, the Group has been present in foreign markets with a flexible and innovative business model, which is based on a consolidated network of distributors of excellence. Currently, PharmaNutra products are present in over 80 countries around the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa and America, thanks to a network of selected commercial partners.

In 2023, PharmaNutra España and PharmaNutra USA were established with the aim of directly overseeing the distribution of products on the market of the two countries, while in 2024 the merger by incorporation into PharmaNutra of the two historic companies, Junia Pharma S.r.l. and Alesco S.r.l., was carried out.

A new corporate structure is thus defined, which meets the requirements of the entire production chain, from the development of new technologies and patents, to the marketing of nutraceutical products and medical devices capable of covering the needs of health and well-being from early childhood to adulthood.

Thanks to continuous investments in R&D activities that have led to the recognition of numerous patents related to Sucrosomial® Technology and Cetylated Esters (CFAs), the Group has managed in a short time to establish itself as a leader in the sector of iron and mineral based nutritional supplements and medical devices dedicated to the restoration of joint capacity.

The PharmaNutra Group today has more than 110 employees with a network of over 160 single-firm

single-brand Pharmaceutical Sales Representatives in Italy.

The Business Lines of the Pharmanutra Group

The distribution and sales model of the Pharmanutra Group consists of the following business lines:

  • Business Line Italy: is characterised by direct control in the reference markets in which the Group operates; for finished products, the logic that governs this model is to ensure complete coverage of the territory through an organisational structure of commercial scientific representatives, who, by carrying out sales and scientific information activities, ensure full control of all the players in the distribution chain: hospital doctors, outpatient doctors, pharmacies and hospital pharmacies.

    The commercial activity relating to raw materials is aimed at companies in the food, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries as well as nutraceutical products production workshops that work on behalf of third parties.

  • Foreign Business Line: it is characterized by the marketing of finished products and raw materials through local partners, who, by virtue of multi-year exclusive distribution contracts, distribute and sell the products in their respective markets. The business model described is mainly used in foreign markets.

  • Akern Business Line: the business model involves the sale of instruments and software for the measurement of body bioimpedance in Italy and on foreign markets through agents, distributors and online sales.

The analysis of the Group's situation, its performance and its operating result is analysed in the following paragraphs, specifically dedicated to the market scenario and the products and services offered, investments and the main indicators of economic performance and the evolution of the balance sheet and financial position.

  1. ‌Economic and financial performance in the first half of 2025

    The first half of 2025, which is in line with forecasts, recorded organic growth in net revenues of 10.4%, with a limited increase in EBITDA, (+approximately 2%) compared to the first half of 2024, as a result of the investments made to support development projects being implemented. Excluding the aforementioned costs (approximately

    €4 million), the EBITDA 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.

    In the second quarter, sales revenues and EBITDA increased by approximately 35% and 14% respectively compared to the previous quarter.

    From a financial point of view, there was a temporary absorption of liquidity linked to the distribution of dividends and the payment of the earn-out to the previous shareholders of Akern, provided for in the contract, which led to a temporary reduction in the net financial position.

    Sales revenue

    Consolidated sales revenues in the first half of 2025 increased by 10.4% compared to the same period of the previous year and amounted to €61.9 million (€56.1 million as at 30 June 2024). The contribution to revenues of new initiatives (USA, Spain and Cetilar® Nutrition), increased compared to the previous year, is still marginal.

    Revenues Italy

    Revenues from sales on the Italian market increased by approximately 9% to 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 wholesalers channel.

    Foreign Revenues

    Revenues from sales on foreign markets amounted to Euro 20.9 million, an increase of approximately 13% compared to the first half of the previous year (Euro 18.6 million); the incidence on total revenues remained constant and was approximately 34%. The Group has orders in its backlog for the entire third and fourth quarters.

    Operating Costs

    Operating costs for the first half of 2025 amounted to Euro 46.6 million, an increase of approximately 14% compared to June 30, 2024 (Euro 40.8 million).

    The Pharmanutra Group's Gross Operating Result for the six months ended June 30, 2025 amounted to Euro 16.5 million (Euro 16.2 million in the first half of 2024), or a margin of approximately 26.6% on net revenues, due to the expected limited reduction compared to the corresponding period of the previous year determined by operating costs related to the start-up of new initiatives (approximately Euro 4 million).

    Net profit for the period for the first half of 2025 amounted to Euro 9.2 million (Euro 8.9 million as of June 30, 2024).

    Net Earnings per share for the first half of 2025 amounted to Euro 0.96 compared to Euro 0.93 as of June 30, 2024.

    The Net Financial Position as of June 30, 2025 shows a negative balance of Euro 5.1 million compared to the positive balance of Euro 5.6 million as of December 31, 2024, after paying dividends of Euro 9.6 million, the earn-out contractually provided for the acquisition of Akern (Euro 3 million) and the purchase of treasury shares for Euro

    0.6 million. Investments in the first half amounted to approximately 1.4 million euros.

    In light of the results obtained, there are no problems relating to going concern, liquidity risk and the recoverability of goodwill and tangible and intangible assets recorded in the financial statements as at 30 June 2025.

    Business results

    Consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 (Euro 61.9 million) increased by 10.4% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024 (Euro 56.1 million).

    The development of the period confirms the significant growth opportunities represented by the new initiatives.

    The revenues generated by the subsidiary PHN USA derive from sales made on online platforms (Amazon, Walmart and proprietary site). A further boost to this growth is expected in the second half of the year thanks to the advertising activities currently in place on Google and Meta.

    The revenues of the new Cetilar® Nutrition line are beginning to show the returns on the investments made (including sponsorship of the Giro d'Italia, the Gran Fondo di Lombardia and the Strade Bianche) and the increase in medical partnerships with football, volleyball, basketball and other sports teams.

    The analysis of revenues by product line as of June 30, 2025 shows further growth of Apportal®, thanks to its characteristics as an energizing tonic, and Ultramag® for sales on foreign markets. The Sideral® line shows an increase of 7%, a significant result in consideration of a rather challenging competitive context.

    It is worth highlighting the excellent results 1 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% in value. In 2024, the Italian vitamin B market generated revenues of approximately 130 million euros.

    The most significant events that characterized the first half of 2025 are reported below.

    In January, another important partnership was formalized thanks to which the Cetilar® Nutrition line is the Official Nutrition Partner of the Giro d'Italia 2025 and the two subsequent editions. Thanks to the international media coverage of the Giro and the large audience present along the stages of the competition, Cetilar® Nutrition will have the opportunity to strengthen its presence on the market.

    During the period, the Group's international expansion continued with the start of distribution of the products of the Sideral® line (Forte and Folic) in Kuwait, the launch of Ultramag® on the Taiwan market (in addition to the products of the Sideral® and Cetilar® lines already marketed), and the launch of UltraCalD3, an exclusive formulation of vitamin D3 with Sucrosomial® Technology on the Finnish market. In addition to these, the

    expansion of the products marketed in the Austrian market, with the addition of Sideral®Med and Apportal® to the portfolio of products already distributed, and the start of the distribution of the products of the Sideral® line in the Moldovan market. Agreements were also formalized for the distribution of products from the Sideral line in Morocco, Peru and Bahrain.

    In March, Sucrosomial® Iron, the innovative formulation designed and patented by Pharmanutra at the basis of Sideral® products, was included in the recent Guidelines of the World Health Organization entitled "Guidance on implementing patient blood management to improve global blood health status". The document, focused on the theme of improving the efficiency and improvement of patient management in order to reduce the use of blood transfusions, is the result of an extensive collaboration between international experts in multidisciplinary fields dedicated to improving outcomes, safety and quality of care for patients. It represents, therefore, also a useful practical guide to address the global problem of iron deficiency and anemia, blood loss and coagulopathies with bleeding. In particular, with reference to iron deficiency in cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, within the WHO Guidelines, Sucrosomial® Iron is the only oral iron mentioned and recognized.

    At the beginning of June, Apportal® Boost was launched on the Italian market, a food supplement designed and developed to offer a rapid and effective supply when the body needs energy, strength and protection, which will be marketed, as well as through the classic channels of pharmacies and online stores, also through the Amazon store of Pharmanutra.

    During the period, 12,424 treasury shares were repurchased. The program is aimed at allowing the Parent Company to seize the opportunity to make an advantageous investment, in cases where the trend in the market price of PHN shares, also due to factors external to the Company, is not able to adequately express the value of the same, and therefore to provide the Company with a useful strategic investment opportunity for any purpose permitted by current provisions. As of 30 June 2025, Pharmanutra holds 90,115 treasury shares, equal to 0.93% of the share capital.

    Against the increase in revenues of approximately 10.7%, there was an increase in operating costs compared to the first half of 2024 of 14.3% driven by by the costs incurred for the start-up of the activities of the subsidiaries, PHN USA and PHN ESPAÑA, and of the Cetilar® Nutrion line, in particular with regard to recruiting costs, administrative and commercial consultancy and marketing investments.

    Excluding costs related to new projects, the EBITDA margin on net revenues at 30.6.25 would be approximately 32%.

    The Pharmanutra Group, in order to allow a better assessment of the performance of operations, uses some alternative performance indicators that are not identified as accounting measures under IFRS. Therefore, the determination criterion applied by the Group may not be homogeneous with that adopted by other groups and the balance obtained may not be comparable with that determined by the latter.

    These alternative performance indicators, determined in accordance with the provisions of the Guidelines on

    Alternative Performance Indicators issued by ESMA/2015/1415 and adopted by CONSOB with communication no.

    92543 of 3 December 2015, refer only to the performance of the half-year accounting period covered by this Half-Year Financial Report and the periods under comparison and not to the expected performance of the Group.

    The alternative performance indicators used in this Financial Report are defined below:

    • EBITDA: this is represented by the Gross Operating Result.

    • Adjusted EBITDA: this is represented by the Gross Operating Result net of non-recurring items

    • EBIT: this is represented by the Gross Operating Result net of Depreciation, amortization and write-downs.

    • Net Working Capital: it is calculated as the sum of Inventories and Trade Receivables net of Payables and all other items in the Balance Sheet classified as Other receivables or Other payables.

    • Operating Working Capital: calculated as the sum of Inventories and Trade Receivables net of Trade payables.

    • Net Invested Capital: this is represented by the sum of Net Working Capital, total Fixed Assets net of Provisions and other medium/long-term liabilities, excluding financial items that are included in the balance of the Net Financial Position.

    • Net Financial Position (NFP): it is calculated as the sum of current and non-current payables to banks, current and non-current rights of use liabilities net of cash and cash equivalents and current and non-current financial assets.

    - Total Funds: this is represented by the sum of Shareholders' Equity and NFP.

    The change in operating working capital compared to 31 December 2024 is attributable to the higher volumes of turnover achieved in the period and the increase in inventories as a result of production planning policies. The item Other receivables includes the accounting of deferred income relating to marketing activities, the economic competence of which extends beyond 30 June 2025, and the current portion of tax receivables purchased in the previous year.

    The decrease in Financial assets derives from the reclassification of the current portion of tax receivables purchased as an investment of part of the Group's liquidity.

    The increase in non-current financial assets is due to the subscription of the insurance policy stipulated to cover the TFM provision granted to the Executive Directors.

    Current financial assets refers to the temporary use of part of the Group's liquidity with the subscription of financial instruments as part of the individual management mandate conferred on Azimut Capital Management and of time-restricted deposits. The latter were repaid at the beginning of the year.

    Market Share in Food Supplements Iron Market & in Total Iron Market (Value - Quarter)



    It should be noted that the Sideral® product line also has a significant market share in the entire overall market, whose growth is driven by the supplements segment to the detriment of the pharmaceutical segment. The trend of Sideral® in terms of units on the market for iron-based food supplements and on the overall iron market is shown in the following graph.

    Iron Market Trend (Units - Quarter)



    In the second half of 2025, the trend of Sideral® products increased compared to the same period of the previous year with the total market share rising from 22.0% to 22.7% per unit.

    Sideral®' s direct competitors operating in the iron supplement segment have much smaller market shares (the second Competitor has a market share in value more than 9 times lower than Sideral®) and, on average, lower market prices.

    This demonstrates how the Sideral® product line is able to obtain significant recognition on the market in terms of retail "premium price", achieved thanks to significant investments in research and development and marketing.

A 3D printer has been purchased that will allow both new research projects and new tools for the pharmaceutical techniques laboratory to start. In addition, in order to adapt the quality control laboratory to increasingly higher quality standards, the regulatory process that will lead to GMP certification has been started.

    New formulations and prototypes are under development, such as gel products for the Cetilar Nutrition line, in particular the Pre-Workout, and products in liquid form based on sucrosomial vitamin B12 for a pediatric destination.

    The development of a new finished product, Apportal Boost, has been completed, and marketing began in June.

    The clinical research activity has focused on the study of the Myosave formulation in different areas (voluntary weight loss, sarcopenia) and two studies on Cetilar ORO and Cetilar Cream have been completed.

    To date, the research group that carries out activities in the laboratory consists of six people. In recent months, two PhD students and two university students in master's thesis have also carried out research activities alongside the researchers, confirming the fruitful collaboration with various universities.
