Increase of the EBIT guidance
Dreieich, 05 October 2023. Against the background of the agreements concluded between Biotest AG, Dreieich, Germany and Grifols, S.A., Barcelona, Spain, which include a technology transfer and licensing agreement, the Management Board of Biotest AG had forcasted in April 2023 an EBIT that may possibly exceed € 100 million.

The Executive Board continues to aim for a mid-single-digit percentage increase in revenue for the 2023 financial year compared to 2022, excluding revenue from the technology transfer and licensing agreement. This increase in sales is possible due to the commissioning of the Yimmugo® production facility within Biotest Next Level. The Management Board does not rule out the possibility of negative sales influences as a result of possible declines in demand due to the economic situation and country-specific savings in the healthcare sector.
