Viareggio, 19 October 2022 - Farmaè S.p.A. - a company listed on the Euronext Growth Milan market of Borsa Italiana, a leading integrated platform in Italy in the healthcare, beauty and wellness sectors - (the "Company") has approved Farmaè Group's consolidated revenue figures for the third quarter of 2022, unaudited, and the main KPIs.

"The third quarter of the year," commented Riccardo Iacometti, Founder and CEO of Farmaè, "has always been the least performing one, especially on the Web; however, the online channel, thanks to the winning price-mix combination, has proven to be the most attractive and performing sales channel and, given the historical moment we are living, it has the best growth prospects after the settling phase post lockdown.

The ongoing positive feedback we have received in the last quarter, which are being constantly confirmed and even improved at the beginning of this fourth quarter, makes us confident that we will achieve our goals and consolidate our market share. What excites us most is to see that our strategy is producing the desired results. We are growing organically as well as through M&A, bringing a strong contribution to the value chain not only in terms of integration within the business model but also in terms of improving all our operational drivers. We keep increasing and improving our customer satisfaction rate, in terms of expanding both our product range and our services; our constant dynamism brings about the most important outcome, i.e. generating value for the end customer. This value also goes to the benefit of all our countless industrial partners, who are on the rise and find in our Group a privileged, credible and reliable partner. This 2022 is for us a year of consolidation and growth in which we are laying important foundations for an ever more ambitious future and for the consolidation of our leading market share".

In the third quarter of 2022, consolidated revenues amounted to EUR 28.4 million, up 58.3% compared to EUR 17.9 million for Farmaè alone and up 17.7% compared to EUR 24.1 million, calculated on a like-for-like basis including revenues from Valnan S.r.l., the Sanort platform and the AmicaFarmacia platform, as well as the Madonna della Neve pharmacy (the latter two acquired on 1 October 2021). Consolidated revenue is net of co-marketing1 revenue of EUR 1 million, up 25% from EUR 0.8 million in Q3 2021.

In the first nine months of 2022, Group revenues amounted to €81.2 million, up 42.0% from the €57.2 million recorded by Farmaè alone as at 30 September 2021 and up 5.2% from the €77.2 million pro-forma revenues
