Viareggio, 24 October 2023 - Talea Group S.p.A. - a company listed on the Euronext Growth Milan market of the Italian Stock Exchange, resulting from the rebranding of Farmaè S.p.A. and leader in the e-retailing of products for personal health and wellbeing as well as in media and digital transformation services for businesses - (the "Company") approved the Company's unaudited 3Q2023 consolidated revenue figures and key KPIs.

Riccardo Iacometti, Founder and CEO of Talea Group S.p.A, commented: "The Group's growth on the market continue; on the one hand, this confirms a good response to our commercial proposition and, on the other, the effectiveness of our strategy, which, by diversifying our value proposition towards customers, has translated into an undisputed leadership in the health, wellness and personal beauty sectors, and an increase in market shares. The recent acquisition of the Doc Peter brand and internet domain is part of this path: our aim is to grow further, leveraging on their over 21 million users and 170,000 customers, as well as our proven management skills. During the first nine months of the year, we reported an increase in revenues of over 26% compared to the same period last year (despite a weaker third quarter due to seasonality), improving results in both the Consumer and Industrial Area and consolidating our customer experience, as shown by the steady increase in orders and products sold. We hope that this trend will continue in the next quarter as well, as it seems to be the case in September, with an 18% increase over September last year.

Furthermore, we are also focusing on the Industrial Area with Talea Media and Valnan, whose high margins will provide an increasingly important and strategic contribution to the Group as a whole".

In the first nine months of 2023, adjusted consolidated revenues1 continued to grow, amounting to € 106.6 million, up 26.5% compared to € 84.3 million in the same period of 2022 (non-adjusted consolidated revenues of € 102.7 million compared to € 81.2 million in the first nine months of 2022, up 26.4%).
