Medios AG raises its forecast for fiscal year 2017 due to the positive development in the first half-year

Berlin, 10 August 2017 - In the context of preparing the half-year financial statements, the Management Board of Medios AG today raised its forecast for fiscal year 2017. Based on preliminary figures (IFRS), the company increased its sales revenue from January to June by 59 percent to EUR 117 million (prior year EUR 73,6 million, Pro-Forma** IFRS) compared with the prior-year period. Earnings before taxes (EBT*) grew by 39 percent to EUR 3,9 million (prior year EUR 2,8 million, Pro-Forma** IFRS).

This means that Medios has already reached more than half of the amounts expected for the whole year. As a result, the Management Board raises the forecast for sales revenue from around EUR 200 million to EUR 230 million. The forecast for EBT* is raised from around EUR 7 million to a target range from EUR 7,0 to 7,5 million, which takes into account impacts from growth investments and non-predictable consequences of the prohibition of public tendering on cytostatic drugs through the German Act on Strengthening Pharmaceutical Supply in Statutory Health Insurance.

The full half-year financial report of Medios AG will be published in September 2017 at http://medios.ag/en/investor-relations/financial-reports/.

* EBT is defined as net earnings before income taxes
** According to the securities prospectus dated 16 November 2016
