  . EBITDA rises to EUR 53.8 million (+7.4%)

Trostberg, March 19, 2021 - AlzChem Group AG, a vertically integrated specialty chemicals supplier with a leading 
market position in selected niche markets, AlzChem successfully asserted its position in the fiscal year 2020 despite a 
turbulent macroeconomic environment and the ongoing COVID-19 effects. Consolidated sales increased slightly from EUR 
376.1 million to EUR 379.3 million. Once again, the NCN Verbund structure proved to be an important success factor, 
ensuring a secure supply of raw materials for the specialty chemicals business via the basic chemicals business and 
forming the basis for AlzChem's broadly diversified product portfolio. On the product side, the Bioselect^(R) and 
NITRALZ^(R) businesses in particular contributed to the stable sales development in 2020. Bioselect^(R) experienced a 
special boom because it is a component in the COVID-19 test kits. 
The earnings development in the past fiscal year was positively influenced in particular by the strict and at the same 
time future-oriented cost management, the successfully implemented optimization measures and the raw material prices. 
As a result, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) improved disproportionately from 
EUR 50.1 million to EUR 53.8 million (+7.4%), equivalent to an EBITDA margin of 14.2% (2019: 13.3%). Consolidated net 
income rose from EUR 18.1 million to EUR 19.9 million. Despite extensive investments, cash and cash equivalents were 
significantly increased from EUR 9.1 million to EUR 17.1 million thanks to strong operating cash flow, strict net 
working capital management and temporary utilization of the existing financing framework. Due to the positive business 
development in 2020, the Management Board and Supervisory Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting to 
distribute a dividend of EUR 0.77 (2019: EUR 0.75). 
Andreas Niedermaier, CEO of AlzChem Group AG: "The past fiscal year clearly showed how strongly positioned our company 
is. Thanks to our fully integrated business model, our broadly diversified product portfolio, our high reliability and 
flexibility as well as the commitment of our employees, we were able to make 2020 a successful year overall. At the 
same time, we succeeded in driving forward important investments for the future, thereby broadening the basis for our 
growth." 
After investing primarily in the growth product Creamino^(R) in 2018 and 2019, the focus in 2020 was on expanding 
NITRALZ^(R) capacities. The commissioning of the additional production line is expected to lead to corresponding volume 
growth from the second half of 2021. Other focal points in the fiscal year 2021 will be the expansion of the Creamino^ 
(R) business and the development of the pharmaceutical sector as a focus market around the Bioselect^(R) products. For 
the full year 2021, AlzChem plans to increase consolidated sales from EUR 379.3 million to up to EUR 400 million. The 
target for EBITDA is a stable to slightly increasing development. Here, growth to up to EUR 57 million is possible.
