REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL SITUATION AND RESULTS
1. Results of operations
During the nine months ended 30 September 2024
Group revenues decreased by (1)% to € 575.7 m compared to the same period of the previous year (9M 2023: € 580.1 m).
The decrease was driven by (12)% lower revenues in the Shared R&D segment, whereas Just - Evotec Biologics contributed € 128.7
m during the nine months ended 30 September 2024 versus € 74.1 m in the comparable prior year period. There was no significant
fx impact on the revenues compared to prior year. Base business decreased by (0.5)% from € 575.3 m in 9M 2023 to € 572.6 m
in the nine months ended 30 September 2024.
The Costs of revenue for the nine months
ended 30 September 2024 amounted to € 507.0 m (9M 2023: € 442.7 m) yielding a gross margin of 11.9% (9M 2023: 23.7%).
Within the comparable prior year, € 31.8 m were reclassified from Costs of revenue towards Other Operating Expense, representing
the internal effort of the Operations functions focused on business recovery after the cyber-attack. The other main driver of the increase
in the costs of revenue lies within Just-Evotec Biologics due to higher headcount numbers and therefore higher labour costs, as well
as increased material and supplier costs to cover the increased business
R&D expenses were € 41.1 m, compared
to € 48.4 m in the nine months ended 30 September 2023 (-15%), with a focused capital allocation to selected R&D projects.
SG&A expenses for the nine months
ended 30 September 2024 amounted to € 138.3 m and were thus € 10.8 m or 8% higher compared to last year (9M 2023: €
127.5 m) especially driven by higher IT costs as well as Business Development and General & Admin expenses. The increase was
related to higher personnel costs, consultancy and depreciation expenses. Overall, SG&A expenses have increased significantly more
than the revenue growth in the past years and a simplification of the organization structure, operating model and footprint is needed
as announced in the reorganization program.
For the nine months ended 30 September 2024,
other operating income amounted to € 35.0 m, compared to € 52.3 m for the comparable prior year period. The decrease
was driven by the Sanofi contribution that ended in 2023 (9M 2023 € 16.9 m). Key driver for the decrease of other operating expenses
from € 44.7 m in the first nine months of 2023 to € 11.4 m in the first nine months of 2024 were the internal and external
costs related to the recovery after the cyber-attack, which are significantly lower within the first nine months of 2024.
The Group has also reviewed its finite lived
intangible assets as well as Goodwill for impairment whenever triggering events or changes in circumstances indicate that
carrying amount value may not be recoverable. Following this review, the Group has not identified any impairment trigger. In the nine
months ended 30 September 2023, the review led to the recognition of an impairment loss of € (5.1) m linked to research and
development projects.
For the nine months ended 30 September 2024
Reorganisation costs amounted to € (62.3) m driven by planned headcount reduction, planned closure of selected sites, and
the further reduction of physical footprint through surrendering of certain lease agreements and the associated costs.

interim
STATEMENT 9M 2024 |
| |
Adjusted Group EBITDA for the nine months
ended 30 September 2024 amounted to € (6.o) m (9M 2023: € 50.2 m) driven by a small single-digit decrease in revenues,
higher costs and less contribution within other operating income.
The net income (loss) as of 30 September 2024
amounted to € (155.2) m (9M 2023: € (67.8) m), predominantly driven by higher costs of revenues and reorganization costs,but
partially offset by more favourable income taxes.
2. Result in our reportable segments Shared R&D and Just-Evotec
Biologics
In the Shared R&D segment, revenues
(incl. intersegment revenues) decreased by (12)% to € 447.1 m (9M 2023: € 506.1 m) mainly driven by a weaker performance
within parts of the Discovery business area partially offset by increased revenues within the transactional business areas that was impacted
heavily in the prior year after the cyber-attack.
Costs of revenue within Shared R&D
were at € 382.9 m in the nine months ended 30 September 2024 (9M 2023: € 370.0 m), corresponding to a gross margin of
14.3% (9M 2023: 26.9%). The decrease in the gross margin was mainly driven by a lower top-line performance, a high fixed-cost base and
under-utilization in some areas of Shared R&D. In the nine months ended 30 September 2023 we reclassified € 21.7 m from
Costs of revenues to Other operating expenses as this was time we spent on recovering after the cyber-attack.
R&D expenses came in at € 41.3
m (9M 2023: € 48.4 m), with a focused capital allocation approach to specific R&D projects. SG&A expenses increased
to € 115.4 m (9M 2023: € 107.8 m), mainly caused by an increase in IT expenses. For the nine months ended 30 September 2024,
other operating income amounted to € 33.4 m, compared to € 50.6 m for the comparable prior year period, driven by the
conclusion of the Sanofi contribution in 2023. Other operating expenses were € 11.4 m (9M 2023: € 34.5 m) driven by
one-off expenses related to the cyber-attack but significantly lower compared to the comparable prior year period due to less internal
and external cyber costs.
The adjusted EBITDA of the Shared R&D
segment was € (6.8) m (9M 2023: € 61.1 m), due to lower revenues on an increasing cost base within costs of revenues and SG&A
expenses and lower other operating income.
Revenues within Just-Evotec Biologics
increased to € 128.7 m (9M 2023: € 74.1 m). This growth of 74% was strongly driven by the higher order book in our Redmond,
US plant. The new factory in Toulouse, France, is expected to be fully operational in Q1 2025.
Costs of revenues of € 124.4 m were
incurred in the first nine months of 2024, with higher labour and service and supplier costs to cover the increased base business in
the US and the continuous ramp-up in France, compared to € 72.8 m within the nine months ended 30 September 2023, with increasing
business in the US. In the same period, gross margin increased to 3.8% from 1.8% in the first nine months of 2023.
The increase in SG&A expenses (9M
2024: € 22.9 m vs. 9M 2023: € 19.7 m) was mainly caused by higher headcount and the continuous investment in IT-systems and
process improvements. Other Operating Expense decreased by € 9.4 m, mainly related to the reclassification from Costs of
Revenues to Other Operating Expense

interim
STATEMENT 9M 2024 |
| |
within the nine months ended 30 September 2023
related mainly to time spent on recovering after the cyber-attack.
The adjusted EBITDA within Just-Evotec
Biologics has increased to € 0.8 m (9M 2023: € (10.9) m, as the revenue has increased stronger than the cost base. Within the
nine months ended 30 September 2023, we recognized a higher upfront revenue compared to this year. The base business development
however, shows a positive development.
3. Financing and financial position
Cash flow provided by (used in) operating
activities in the nine months ended 30 September 2024 was € (56.0) m compared with € 16.5 m in the first nine months
of 2023. This year’s figure is negatively affected by an increased net loss and unfavourable changes in working capital.
Net cash used in investing activities for
the nine months ended 30 September 2024 amounted to € (88.1) m (9M 2023: € 16.7 m). Capital expenditure decreased to €
102.3 m (9M 2023: € 150.0 m) and was mainly due to investments in the Just-Evotec Biologics production facilities. The proceeds
from sale of current investments decreased significantly to € 30.8 m (9M 2023: € 203.1 m) and originated from the sale of bonds
and fixed term investments.
Net cash used in financing activities amounted
€ (132.1) m in the nine months ended 30 September 2024 (9M 2023: € 48.9 m) due to the repayment of loans and lease obligations
€ (128.4) m.
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to
€ 231.3 m as of 30 September 2024 (31 December 2023: € 510.9 m ). Total Liquidity decreased to € 303.3
m (31 December 2023: € 604.1 m).
4. Assets, liabilities, and stockholders’
equity
Assets
Between 31 December 2023 and 30 September 2024, total
assets decreased by € (261.7) m to € 1,990.8 m (31 December 2023: € 2,252.5 m).
Investments amounted to € 72.0 m
(31 December 2023: € 93.2 m). This decrease was mainly due to the sale of current investments.
Contract assets amounted to € 39.1
m (31 December 2023: € 25.0 m). This increase is mainly due to an increase in contract assets in Just Evotec Biologics Inc.
of € 11.9 m.
Inventories as of 30 September 2024
increased by € 4.9 m to € 35.8 m compared to 31 December 2023 (€ 30.9 m). This increase is due to the growth of operations
in Just — Evotec Biologics.
Current tax assets increased from €
80.7 m as per 31 December 2023 to € 90.9 m as per 30 September 2024. The increase resulted from a reclassification from
non-current to current and is partially offset by refunds and factoring of R&D tax credits.
|
interim
STATEMENT 9M 2024 |
| |
Other current financial assets including derivatives
increased to € 75.2 m (31 December 2023: € 12.8 m) which is mainly due to factoring of R&D tax credits in France.
Evotec received the related payments in October 2024.
For Assets classified as held for sale , see
“5. Reorganization”.
Non-current investments and other non-current
financial assets amounted to € 119.4 m (31 December 2023: € 139.0 m). This decrease resulted mainly from the revaluation
of Evotec’s share in Exscientia plc.
Property, plant and equipment increased
by € 7.2 m to € 813.8 m (31 December 2023: € 806.6 m) caused by capital expenditures for site expansions, especially
in Just - Evotec Biologics EU SAS and Just — Evotec Biologics Inc., exceeding depreciations and reductions due to the termination
of lease contracts.
Intangible assets and Goodwill increased
by € 4.8 m compared with 31 December 2023, to € 295.9 m (31 December 2023: € 291.1 m), primarily due to new
developed technologies.
The increase in Deferred tax assets to
€ 36.1 m as of 30 September 2024 (31 December 2023: € 14.3 m) is mainly related to deferred taxes recognized on increased
tax losses in Germany.
Non-current tax assets decreased to €
23.5 m (31 December 2023: € 94.4 m) mainly due to a reclassification from non-current to current and factoring of R&D
tax credits..
Liabilities
Current financial liabilities decreased
to € 53.5 m (31 December 2023: €149.1 m) mainly due to the repayment of debt.
Trade and other payables decreased by
€ (64.4) m in the nine months ended 30 September 2024 to € 69.9 m (31 December 2023: € 134.3 m), resulting from
the payment of a high volume of invoices in the first quarter of 2024.
Current and non-current contract liabilities
increased by € 54.0 m to € 306.9 m (31 December 2023: € 252.9 m) predominantly due to prepayments received from
BMS in Q3 2024.
Current and non-current provisions increased
by € 33.5 m to € 94.8 m (31 December 2023: € 61.2 m) mainly because of the build-up of current and non-current provisions
for reorganization.
Non-current financial liabilities decreased
to € 416.5 m (31 December 2023: € 477.1 m) due to the termination of lease contracts as well as the conversion of a forgivable
loan received for the construction of facilities (€ 20.8 m).
Stockholders’ equity
Total stockholders’ equity decreased by
€ (151.4) m to € 968.5 m (31 December 2023: € 1,119.9 m).
Evotec’s equity ratio as of 30 September 2024
slightly decreased to 48.6% (31 December 2023: 49.7%).

5. Reorganization
On 24 April 2024 as part of the publication
of the 2023 Annual Results, the Group announced that it was currently assessing its current footprint and activities. As of 30 June 2024,
the Group has recognized a provision of € 64.5 m to cover the expected and estimated costs associated with the reorganization. Estimated
reorganization costs mainly include employee termination benefits, Real Estate footprint optimization and other direct costs associated
with the reorganization.
Predominantly due to the reclassification of
the operations of Evotec DS to held for sale, the provision for reorganization decreased to € 44.9 m as of 30 September 2024.
On
2 November 2024, the Group signed a SPA for the sale of Evotec DS.
As a result of the company’s ‘Priority Reset’,
the company has identified a contingent liability in regards to a possibly onerous lease contract. The company continues to closely review
scenarios to limit the impact to the maximum extent.
6. Human
Resources
Employees
Headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, the Evotec
Group employs 5,007 people globally as of 30 September 2024 (31 December 2023: 5,061 employees), and therefore (1)% less compared
to prior year’s end. Overall, the number of employees decreased by (79) compared to the nine months ended 30 September 2023 with
5,086, due to the first impact of the reorganization program but partly offset by increased headcount within Just - Evotec Biologics.
The full impact of the reorganization on the head count will be more visible within Q4 2024 and reaching into the first half of 2025.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This interim statement contains forward-looking
statements concerning future events. Words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,”
“expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “Plan,” “Potential,” “should,” “target,”
“would” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
include comments regarding Evotec’s expectations for revenues, Adjusted Group EBITDA and unpartnered R&D expenses. These forward-looking
statements are based on the information available to, and the expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by Evotec at the time these
statements were made. No assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. These statements involve known
and unknown risks and are based upon a few assumptions and estimates which are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies,
many of which are beyond the control of Evotec. Factors that could cause actual results to differ are discussed under the heading “Risk
Factors” in our Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023. Evotec expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking
to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in Evotec’s expectations
with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.
NON-IFRS METRICS
This interim report includes certain financial
measures and metrics not based on IFRS, including Adjusted Group EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangibles, impairments on goodwill and other intangible and tangible assets, total
non-operating results and change in contingent consideration (earn-out).
Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation
from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure presented
as a supplemental measure of our performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of
financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is a key metric used by our Management Board to assess our financial performance.
Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of expenses that
do not relate directly to the performance of the underlying business. Our definition of this non-IFRS financial measure may not be comparable
to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby reducing the usefulness of our Adjusted EBITDA as a tool for comparison.
