Hans Stols, CEO Fagron: "Fagron's refinancing demanded a great deal of attention over the past months and we are pleased that we were able to announce on 5 July 2016 that both tranches of the capital increase were a success. The successful completion of the capital increase has secured Fagron's financial situation for the longer term and allows us to turn our full attention to the business operations again.

Fagron's turnover from continuing operations decreased by 3.1% in the first half of 2016 to € 210.2 million. At constant exchange rates, turnover developed positively on all continents except in the United States. The sterile FSPS activities in the United States showed strong growth in the first half of 2016. As expected, the changed reimbursement system for non-sterile compounding in the United States continued to have a negative impact on the turnover and profitability of Fagron Essentials and Fagron Trademarks in the first half of 2016. REBITDA of the Group was € 45.6 million in the first half of 2016.

We are convinced we can draw a line under the past period and put our full efforts into working on Fagron's future. For 2016 we expect turnover of at least € 415 million and REBITDA of between € 85 million and € 95 million."
