On 30 June 2024, the Group's sales totalled €419.2m, up 10.7% compared with the same period in 2023. Excluding the currency effect (-€4.1m), growth in business activity at constant exchange rates (CER1) came to 11.8%, a change that included an acceleration in the second quarter (+14.5% at CER), following an already very positive momentum in the first quarter (+8.8%). The EMEA region saw a temporary freeze on the French market following the reform, on 1 March 2024, of the supply circuit for contrast products. Business activity nevertheless increased by 2.4% at CER over the period, with the decline in Q1 (-6.2% at CER) being fully recovered in Q2 (+11.0%). In the Americas, revenue at mid-year was €127.3m, up 29.1% at CER. This performance was driven by the continuation of the remarkable catch-up initiated in Q4 2023 in the US, as well as by significant market share gains in Latin America - particularly in Brazil. In Asia, growth remained strong in Q1 (+11.5% at CER), despite a slowdown in Q2 largely linked to the situation in South Korea, affected by a major strike by doctors. By business activity, Diagnostic Imaging revenue increased by 10.7% at CER in H1 2024, thanks to: Very positive momentum in X-rays (+13.9% at CER), driven by sales of both Xenetix® and Optiray®. A solid performance by the IRM division due to an acceleration in Q2 (+13.5%), notably in the wake of the growth of Elucirem TM in the US and the first sales in Germany. As of 30 June 2024, Interventional Imaging revenue rose 20.8% at CER, a remarkable change assisted by a favourable base effect and driven by very positive momentum for Lipiodol®, in terms of volumes and prices.

Restated for exceptional costs related to the optimisation of the operating plan and changes in the sales model, the EBITDA margin reached 15.4% over the period, versus 12.7% in the first half of 2023. This improvement was fuelled by favourable trends in selling prices and the product mix, as well as continued good financial discipline. Operating income stood at €30.3m as of 30 June 2024, almost trebling from its level a year earlier (€10.3m). Net income came to €10.0m, versus €1.3m in H1 2023. In line with the Group's expectations, it includes a significant increase in financial expenses, to €11.2m (€3.8m a year earlier). Lastly, the tax expense more than doubled to €4.7m. Improved free cash flow compared to last year On the balance sheet, equity totalled €389m at 30 June 2024, compared to €378m at the end of 2023. Net debt stood at €365m, reflecting a net debt/EBITDA ratio of 3.2x, an improvement from its level a year earlier (3.5x). In line with traditionally unfavourable seasonality in the first half of the year, free cash flow (FCF) was negative, amounting to -€29.1m. This level is significantly better than in the first half of 2023 (-€72.0m) despite the increase in working capital requirements linked to strong business activity and the sustained level of investments to secure future growth. Maintaining focus on the three strategic pillars Having pursued an offensive policy in terms of business development and innovation in the first half of the year, Guerbet intends to reach new milestones in the second half of 2024 on each of its three strategic pillars: In Diagnostic Imaging, the ramp-up of the IRM franchise, based on the Dotarem® / EluciremTM product pair, is set to continue with its expansion in the US, and now in Europe; following Germany and the UK, EluciremTM will be launched in France by the end of the year. In Interventional Imaging, new prospects are opening up for Lipiodol® in indications other than liver cancer treatment, including promising commercial development in vascular embolisation (+38% in H1 2024 vs. H1 2023). In Artificial Intelligence, the sales roadmap will benefit from the April launch of the DUOncoTM brand, which accompanied the launch of the first Guerbet product, its algorithm dedicated to prostate cancer, integrated into the new Intrasense Myrian® 2.12 platform. Upward revision of 2024 financial targets These ambitious developments within the product portfolio, in a context of structurally strong demand for contrast products, enable the Group to look to the future with confidence. In the second half of the financial year, the growth trajectory is expected to remain strong in all business segments: X-rays (Optiray® in particular), IRM franchise (expansion of EluciremTM) and Interventional Imaging (strong momentum for Lipiodol®). Guerbet also remains confident about the growth of its operating profitability, supported by continued price increases and good cost control. Given these circumstances, the Group is forecasting sales growth of over 9% in 2024 like-for-like and at CER (versus >8% previously) and expects its adjusted EBITDA margin rate to exceed that of 2021 (14.4%). Free cash flow is still expected to be in positive territory for the full year.
