2Organic Growth - Organic growth for a given period (Q1, Q2, Q3, Half Year, Nine Months or Full Year) - non-IFRS measure calculating the growth in revenues during that period between 2 successive years for the same scope of businesses using the same exchange rates (of year Y) but excluding discontinued operations.

For the purpose of organic growth calculation for year Y, the relevant scope used is the scope of businesses that have been consolidated in the Group's income statement of the previous financial year (Y-1). Revenue contribution from companies acquired in the course of Y-1 but not consolidated for the full year are adjusted as if they had been consolidated as of 1st January Y-1. All revenues from businesses acquired since 1st January Y are excluded from the calculation.

Key operational highlights

  • Eurofins Viracor and Cornell University signed an exclusive agreement to commercialise novel assays to detect organ and tissue damage in transplant and COVID-19 patients

  • • Eurofins Genomics will conduct genotyping for up to 5 million participants of Our Future Health, the UK's largest ever health research programme

  • Eurofins Megalab will provide clinical analyses, genomic and pathological studies for the DIPCAN study in Spain, which aims to develop more personalised oncological treatment through the integration of clinical, genomic and radiological image data

  • Significant COVID volumes in early Q1 2022 testing for Omicron in particular

    • Reduced volumes since then in-line with the relaxation of national testing policies

    • Should a new significant wave or another more pathogenic variant arise, for instance in the Fall season or medically prescribed COVID or multi- pathogen testing continue at significant levels, we might need to upgrade this new €400m objective further

  • Organic investment plans continuing at pace, expanding BioPharma services laboratories worldwide

  • Strategic acquisitions in biopharma and clinical genetics testing markets - Inpac Medizintechnik (Germany), Genetic Lab Co (Japan) and Genetic Testing Service (Vietnam)
