At present, we continue rolling out cost discipline and control measures to improve cash flow and expense profile, as well as prioritizing the reduction of debt. These efforts, coupled with capturing commercial opportunities and unlocking Biotest's inherent potential, will drive Grifols' performance going forward. We will remain true to our core and sustainability values and aim to demonstrate the unlocking of further value by enhanced transparency in our communications with the market."

Grifols' co-CEOs Victor Grifols Deu and Raimon Grifols Roura note: "Today's earnings are testament to Grifols' efforts to drive growth and operational execution, as witnessed by our outstanding sequential improvement despite the challenging macroeconomic backdrop.

Our fundamentals remain robust, and we continue to improve patients' lives around the world. After successfully increasing plasma volumes and sustainable revenue growth in the third quarter, we plan on doubling our efforts to expand margins through cost optimization and operational efficiencies."

It is the moment to capitalize on Grifols' many strengths to deliver on our commitments."

Biopharma revenues reached EUR 1,265.2 million (EUR 1,157.5 million excluding Biotest) in the third quarter of 2022, growing by 34.0% cc (+49.5% on a reported basis). Several drivers underpinned this strong performance, including robust underlying demand for immunoglobulins, larger plasma supply, price increases and product mix. Especially notable were sales of subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIG) supported by higher demand and favorable customer mix.

Year to date, Biopharma sales stand at EUR 3,578.1 million (EUR 3,372.1 million excluding Biotest), a y-o-y increase of 16.0% cc (+26.3% on a reported basis).

Grifols' Biopharma's revenue grew by 8.7% cc and 19.1% on a reported basis (excluding Biotest) in the first nine months of 2022 compared to 2021. This performance reflects sequential acceleration of 21.3% cc (+36.8% reported) in the third quarter, compared to +0.1% cc (+9.9%) in the second quarter and +7.1% cc (+13.5% on a reported basis) in the first quarter.

Grifols AlphaID™ At Home Genetic Health Risk Service has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The service is the company's first FDA clearance for direct-to- consumer use and it will be available beginning in Q2 2023 for U.S. adults to screen for their genetic risk level of developing lung and/or liver disease related to alpha-1 without a medical prescription.

Plasma collections continued to grow, increasing 25% year-to-date compared to previous year2 (+28% in the U.S.). This improvement was driven by new and recently acquired plasma centers; greater plasma volumes from existing centers; and operational enhancements.

The robust growth in plasma collections is expected to continue in the fourth quarter of 2022 and onwards, supported by current momentum, macroeconomic backdrop and the upside from B-1/B- 2 visa donors, having resumed collections from qualified Mexican national donors since mid- September.

Diagnostic revenues decreased by 20.8% cc (-13.6% on a reported basis) to EUR 169.6 million in the third quarter of 2022, primarily due to non-recurring sales of TMA (Transcription-Mediated Amplification) molecular tests, used to detect SARS-CoV-2 and the termination of mandatory Zika- virus testing, which was partially offset by robust sales of blood typing solutions.

Diagnostic recorded EUR 499.1 million in revenues in the first nine months of 2022, down 21.0%

  1. (-15.7%on a reported basis) compared to the same period in 2021. Excluding the COVID-19one-off testing and mandatory Zika-virus screening, the decline was 3.5% cc impacted by country mix and pricing.

Bio Supplies, which now solely includes the former Bio Supplies Commercial business line, reported significant revenue growth in the third quarter, expanding by 29.9% cc (+47.9% on a reported basis) to EUR 44.2 million, following the acquisition of Access Biologicals. The business unit grew by 5.4% cc (+16.3% on a reported basis) in the first nine months of 2022.

Gross margin totaled 38.2% (37.5% including Biotest), representing a slight decline from the 38.9% (38.2% including Biotest) reported in the first half of 2022 due to donor compensation and labor cost inflation. Additionally, the end of the COVID-19one-off testing and Zika screening impacted by 250bps the first nine months of 2022 compared to same period in 2021.

Grifols continues to expand and optimize its operations despite inflationary pressures. The company's efforts to reduce costs and increase operational efficiency resulted in a stable cost per liter in the first half of the year on a like-for-like basis, notwithstanding the 8 to 10% annual inflation in Grifols' regions of operation.

On the back of solid plasma-collection levels, Grifols is focused on balancing volume and cost per liter to drive margin expansion, with an emphasis on reducing donor compensation and optimization of labor and fixed costs. Donor compensation fell by 7% from January to September, and by >15% from its peak in July.

EBITDA grew to EUR 927 million in the first nine months of the year at a 22.2% margin (21.3% including Biotest). Grifols continues to exert cost discipline through its savings plan and the prioritization of R+D projects, which partially offset inflationary pressures, as well as higher Biotest expenses, particularly related to the Biotest Next Level (BNL) project3.

Adjusted EBITDA was EUR 899 million, with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.7%. Excluding Biotest, it also stood at 20.7%.

Excluding the impact of IFRS 164, net financial debt totaled EUR 9,380.9 million, and the reported leverage ratio declined from 9.0x in the first half of 2022 to 8.6x. It is expected to further decline to 7.9x at year-end 2022.

As of September 30, 2022, Grifols' strong liquidity position totaled EUR 1,570 million, including a cash position of EUR 480 million.

Grifols is operating under a long-term business plan that requires no additional capital, and is firmly committed to strategic delivery, cost discipline and control, operating cash flow generation, increased liquidity and deleveraging.
