EBITDA

Thomas Eldered, CEO:

“Overall, Recipharm’s business was relatively stable in the third quarter. Sales
continued at a high level, operating profit was affected by certain one-time and
phasing effects and operating cash flow was much stronger than the previous
year.

Sales were the highest for a third quarter ever, benefitting from favourable
currency effects and solid activity and demand in most operating companies.
Sales in Development & Technology continued to increase, although as expected at
a slower pace than earlier in the year. Technical issues, supply shortage of
some components as well as effects from the discontinued French distribution
business, offset this. These issues together with phasing effects from the
previous two quarters contributed to a lower than planned manufacturing output
impacting our results. Throughout the quarter we also had unusually high
corporate activity from evaluating acquisition opportunities including due
diligences, resulting in increased external costs.

Operating cash flow for the quarter, at over SEK 75 million (last year SEK 23
million), was strong as working capital was reduced.

The acquisition of the Italian Corvette Pharmaceutical Services Group, from the
1st of October, provides access to highly interesting markets including Italy
and a number of emerging markets, many of which are new to Recipharm. It
increases our capacity and capability in lyophilisation and Corvette will
significantly contribute to Recipharm’s intellectual property backed business.

We will continue to develop Recipharm towards our long-term objectives and in
line with our strategic growth agenda, by a combination of investing in our
current business and further acquisitions and long-term partnerships, like the
recently announced collaboration with Isofol Medical. The new SEK 1 500 million
credit facility combined with the authorisation for the Board to issue new
shares in relation to acquisitions further strengthen the capability to grow the
business in this direction”.
