Strong key financial results - Group revenues grew by 50% to EUR 88.2 m (2014: EUR 58.9 m) - EVT Execute revenues up 52% to EUR 93.4 m compared to the prior-year period - EVT Innovate up 34% to EUR 14.3 m compared to the prior-year period - Adjusted Group EBITDA positive at EUR 3.4 m and significantly increased compared to the same period of the previous year (2014: EUR 0.3 m) - Strong adjusted EBITDA of EUR 16.1 m for EVT Execute - High and stable liquidity position at EUR 138.8 m EVT Execute Globally leading drug discovery service business - Important collaboration with CHDI extended - New collaboration in the field of juvenile Batten Disease (after period-end) - New multi-year compound management agreements closed (after period-end) EVT Innovate Significant Cure X/Target X initiatives successfully partnered - TargetFibrosis in tissue fibrosis with Pfizer - TargetBCD in diabetes with Sanofi - TargetImmuniT in immuno-oncology with Sanofi/Apeiron Biologics Sanofi transaction update - Successful ongoing integration of new Toulouse site - One-time positive effect due to income from bargain purchase (EUR 18.5 m, still preliminary) Revenue guidance 2015 raised, strong outlook - Revenue guidance increased to approx. 45% growth excluding milestones, upfronts and licences in September 2015 - All other elements of financial guidance as of 12 May 2015 confirmed - For the remainder of 2015 and already into 2016, strong core business is indicated 1. Operational performance Strong key financial results Revenues from the EVT Execute segment amounted to EUR 93.4 m in the first nine months of 2015, an increase of 52% compared to the same period of the previous year (first nine months of 2014: EUR 61.5 m). This increase is primarily attributable to growth of the base business, supported by a positive development of the anti-infectives business unit, contributions from the Sanofi transaction as well as foreign exchange rate effects. Included in this amount are EUR 19.5 m of intersegment revenues (first nine months of 2014: EUR 13.2 m). The EVT Innovate segment generated revenues in the amount of EUR 14.3 m consisting entirely of third-party revenues (first nine months of 2014: EUR 10.6 m). The increase compared to the prior-year period mainly results from EVT Innovate projects which were partnered in 2015. Gross margin at EVT Execute amounted to 23.4% while EVT Innovate generated a gross margin of 53.5%. R&D expenses for the EVT Innovate segment increased from EUR 10.4 m in the first nine months of 2014 to EUR 16.6 m in the first nine months of 2015 due to significant investments in oncology projects at the Toulouse site as well as higher investments in existing Cure X and Target X initiatives. In the first nine months of 2015, the adjusted EBITDA (before changes in contingent consideration) of the EVT Execute segment was high at EUR 16.1 m and significantly improved compared to the same period of the previous year (first nine months of 2014: EUR 9.9 m) due to the strong increase in revenues. The EVT Innovate segment reported an EBITDA before changes in contingent consideration of EUR (12.7) m (first nine months of 2014: EUR (9.5) m). Evotec's Group revenues for the first nine months of 2015 grew to EUR 88.2 m, an increase of 50% compared to the same period of the previous year (2014: EUR 58.9 m). This increase is due to growth in the core EVT Execute business, the contribution of the Sanofi collaboration, a strong contribution from the anti-infective business unit and favourable foreign exchange rate effects. Excluding milestones, upfronts and licences and revenue contributions from the acquired businesses of Bionamics, Euprotec and Sanofi, Evotec's revenues for the first nine months of 2015 were EUR 55.9 m, an increase of 9% over the same period of the previous year (2014: EUR 51.4 m). Adjusted Group EBITDA in the first nine months of 2015 amounted to EUR 3.4 m (first nine months of 2014: EUR 0.3 m). EBITDA was adjusted for changes in contingent consideration as well as for one-time effects with regards to the bargain purchase resulting from the acquisition of Evotec (France) SAS in 2015 and Bionamics GmbH in 2014. Evotec's operating income for the first nine months of 2015 amounted to EUR 12.3 m (2014: operating loss of EUR 8.7 m) and is mainly due to the preliminary income from the bargain purchase resulting from the acquisition of Evotec (France) SAS. Liquidity, which includes cash and cash equivalents (EUR 49.4 m) and investments (EUR 89.4 m) amounted to EUR 138.8 m at the end of September 2015 (31 December 2014: EUR 88.8 m). This increase in liquidity is mainly attributable to the cash inflow resulting from the Sanofi transaction and the receipt of milestone and upfront payments. 2. EVT Execute and EVT Innovate EVT Execute Important collaboration with CHDI extended In September 2015, Evotec announced the extension of its collaboration with CHDI Foundation, Inc. ("CHDI") through to August 2018. The collaboration represents one of the largest drug discovery alliances within Evotec and will fund 55 full-time scientists. Evotec has been providing innovation support to CHDI since 2006. New collaboration in the field of juvenile Batten Disease (after period-end) In October 2015, Evotec and Beyond Batten Disease Foundation ("BBDF") announced a collaboration aimed at discovering and developing new treatments for juvenile Batten disease, a rare, fatal autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder. The collaboration includes substantial research funding to Evotec and runs to the end of 2017, with an option to extend beyond this period. New multi-year compound management agreements closed (after period-end) In October 2015, Evotec entered into a multi-year compound management agreement with the U.S. National Cancer Institute, Department of Health and Human Services for a period of five years with total estimated revenues of up to EUR 4.5 m ($ 4.9 m). Furthermore, Evotec will provide management services (compounds hosting and projects support) with regards to a five-year agreement Sanofi signed with the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. EVT Innovate TargetFibrosis In September 2015, Evotec and Pfizer announced an agreement on a four-year research collaboration to explore potential novel mechanisms as targeted anti-fibrotics in the field of tissue fibrosis. Evotec leverages its drug discovery platform and Pfizer will provide key technologies and industrial scope as well as pharmaceutical development and marketing expertise. The financial terms of the collaboration include an upfront payment and potential milestone payments from Pfizer based on the achievement of specific development and sales milestones. TargetBCD In August 2015, Evotec and Sanofi announced a strategic risk-shared collaboration in the field of diabetes. The goal of this collaboration is to develop a beta cell replacement therapy based on functional human beta cells derived from human stem cells. Sanofi and Evotec will use human beta cells for high-throughput drug screening to identify beta cell active small molecules or biologics. The agreement between Evotec and Sanofi includes an upfront payment of EUR 3 m, potential pre-clinical, clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones which could total over EUR 300 m as well as significant royalties and research payments. TargetImmuniT In August 2015, Evotec, Apeiron Biologics and Sanofi entered into a strategic collaboration to develop novel small molecule-based cancer immunotherapies. This collaboration includes major research and development efforts to advance a first-in-class small molecule approach to treat solid and haematopoietic cancers by enhancing the anti-tumour activity of human lymphocytes. The agreement includes two years of substantial research payments for Evotec and Apeiron Biologics with the opportunity to receive pre-clinical, clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones which could total over EUR 200 m as well as royalties upon commercialisation. 3. Sanofi transaction update On 31 March 2015, Evotec closed a five-year, major multi-component strategic alliance with Sanofi effective 01 April 2015. One of the major cornerstones of this alliance is the acquisition of Sanofi's research site in Toulouse, France, including more than 200 highly experienced employees to support the expansion of Evotec's drug discovery capabilities and capacities. The integration of the new research site continues to proceed successfully. The bargain purchase resulting from the acquisition was not allocated to segments. The initial accounting is provisional with regard to the fair values used to measure the assets and liabilities of the combination. It may therefore be subject to material changes. 4.
