Net sales

Integration of the brands acquired from GSK strengthens brand strategy and improves market position in key geographic markets

Consolidated net sales increased by 16%, reflecting the inclusion ―as of June 2012― of the sales from the

brands acquired from GSK. On a like-for-like basis, the net sales of OTC products continued to grow in

spite of a weak consumer confidence in Europe. This demonstrates the robustness of the underlying OTC

sales figures. The turnover from the distribution of generics in Belgium decreased by 5% and represented

17% of 2012 consolidated net sales.

The 54 OTC brands acquired from GSK provided Omega Pharma in key European OTC markets with the

critical mass it was missing before. As of 2012, Omega Pharma is now also in the United Kingdom,

Germany and Italy a prominent competitor in the respective local OTC markets. In 2012, Omega Pharma

generated net sales exceeding €50 million in seven national markets, i.e. Belgium, France, Italy, the

UK/Ireland, the Netherlands Germany and the Nordics.

The acquired brands also strengthened Omega Pharma’s position in key segments of the European OTC

market. The new brand combinations represent strong market shares in the segments of cough-and-cold-

and-allergy remedies (including nasal hygiene products), sleeping aids and natural remedies. Moreover,

this acquisition also provides Omega Pharma with a solid platform in previously unexplored major

segments of the OTC market, including pain relief products and female intimate hygiene products.

Out of the 54 acquired brands, 7 have been integrated into the group’s Top 20 ― either as the principle

brand for their segment, or in combination with an existing brand of Omega Pharma’s portfolio. The Top

20 brands generated €495.4 million of sales, i.e. 48% of the 2012 consolidated turnover of the group.

This new position enables Omega Pharma to even better explore synergies and economies of scale. The

turnover of the Top 20 brands grew with 29% versus 2011.

Gross margin: 53% of Net Sales

Expressed as a percentage of net sales, the gross margin grew from 51% in 2011 to 53% in 2012. This is the

result of an improved product mix – i.e. more sales contribution from high-margin products and brands,

mainly those included in the Top 20 of the group, which had an average gross margin of 67%. Excluding the

distribution of generics in Belgium ―‘by definition’ characterised with a lower gross margin― the average

gross margin for the group was approximately 60%.

Operating charges

Advertising & Promotion in support of Top 20 brands. Functional costs under control.

Sales and Marketing expenses ―including Advertising & Promotion (A&P)― increased by 15% to €277.2

million and represent 27% of net consolidated sales (an equal percentage as in 2011). The last few

years, Omega Pharma has consistently allocated its A&P budget largely in support of its Top 20 brands.

Approximately 40% of the 2012 consolidated A&P spent was allocated to TV advertising, which is

generally considered to be still the most effective advertising instrument for OTC products.

In 2012, Distribution expenses increased with 18% versus 2011 ― i.e. largely in line with the evolution

of the turnover. General administrative expenses, on the other hand, decreased with 8% versus 2011,

reflecting structural savings.

Operating profitability

EBITDA: 19% of Net sales.

The above-described factors led to a recurring EBITDA of €202.2 million for 2012 (19% of sales),

compared to €139.3 million for 2011 (16% of sales).

The main factors positively impacting the EBITDA were the sales growth, the improved average gross

margin and the well controlled evolution of the functional costs. This ultimately resulted in a 45%

growth of EBITDA – well ahead of sales growth.

Depreciations amortization and changes in provisions increased from €29.0 million in 2011 to €40.2

million in 2012, mainly as a consequence of the inclusion of the brands acquired from GSK mid-2012.

Non-recurring expenses amounted to €38.1 million and were largely defined by restructuring charges

and related provisions ― mainly referring to charges incurred for corporate projects (delisting,

acquisition of GSK brands, issuance of the retail bonds) and to organisational restructuring charges in

the Netherlands (plant closure), Germany (relocation of offices), Ireland (relocation of key activities to

Belgium), Belgium (relocation of Biover operations from Bruges to Nazareth) and Denmark (closing of

country office; integration of operations into the group’s Swedish organisation).

Starting from the above-mentioned recurring EBITDA this led to an Operating Result (EBIT) of €124.0

million for 2012 (12% of net sales), compared to €80.8 million for 2011 (+54% YoY).

p. 7/16

Financial result, taxes, net result

In 2012, the Financial Result amounted to €-37.9 million compared to €-29.0 million in 2011. This

evolution largely results from a higher level of average net debt in 2012 ― mainly associated with the

acquisition of the brands from GSK ― which caused an increase of the interests paid by €8.7 million.

Income taxes were €20.2 million for 2012, implying a tax rate of 24%. In 2011, income taxes amounted

to €16.0 million. Adjusting for the one-off item in 2011 ― i.e. the annulment of a tax asset in Germany

― the 2011 tax rate was 21%.

This yielded a Result after income tax of €65.9 million versus €35.7 million in 2011.

Main balance sheet elements

Net debt €756.7 million. Equity €825.4 million

On 31 December 2012, net debt amounted to €756.7 million (according to the methodology applied for

the bank covenants). On 30 June 2012 this was €658.3 million and €422.1 million on 31 December 2011.

The increase by €334.6 million versus 31 December 2011 is mainly related to the acquisitions of 54

European OTC brands from GSK (June 2012), and of the Optalidon brand (November 2012), partly offset

by the €190.0 million capital increase (June 2012). With this net debt level, Omega Pharma remains

safely within the covenants agreed upon with its credit providers.

Working capital amounted on 31 December 2012 to €97.3 million, i.e. 9% of net sales (non-annualised

for acquisitions). On 30 June 2012, the working capital reached a level of €82.1 million (9% of net sales,

not annualised for acquisitions) and at the end of the previous period (2011) this was €51.6 million (6%

of net sales, idem). The increase is mainly related to the inclusion of the OTC brands acquired from

GSK.

Intangible assets corresponded to an amount of €1,517.2 million versus €1,042.2 million at the end of

2011. This increase mainly refers to two factors. First: the acquisitions (the OTC brands of GSK,

Optalidon). A second factor refers to Omega Pharma’s enhanced efforts in the field of new product

development, which led to increased investments in R&D, brands, licenses and patents.

The increase under property, plant and equipment refers to the inclusion of the Herrenberg

manufacturing site (Germany), which was part of the transaction with GSK.

Equity increased from €633.2 million to €825.4 million, principally as a result of the €190 million capital

increase implemented in June 2012 in the framework of the transaction with GSK.

The changes in Liabilities reflect the increased utilisation of existing credit facilities and the issuance of

two series of retail bonds, for financing the transaction with GSK. Net debt amounted to €756.7 million.

Main events

Main events in 2012

• Following the initial acceptance period for the takeover bid, launched by Couckinvest NV (now

named Omega Pharma Invest NV) on 2 September 2011, the bid was reopened from 27 December

2011 until and including 6 January 2012. After the reopening, Couckinvest held or controlled 97.10%

of all shares outstanding, thus triggering a squeeze-out which ran from 16 January until and including

3 February 2012. After the payment (17 February 2012) for the shares tendered in the squeeze-out

Couckinvest held/controlled 99.26% of all shares outstanding. All remaining warrants were also

acquired at that time. All shares not acquired or tendered on 3 February 2012 are deemed

transferred to Couckinvest NV by operation of law, with consignation of the funds necessary for the

payment of their price to the Belgian Deposit and Consignation Office where these funds will be held

available for a period of thirty years. As a consequence of the successful takeover bid, the Omega

Pharma shares were delisted from NYSE/Euronext Brussels. The last listing day was 3 February

2012.

• 15 March 2012. Omega Pharma announced that it had reached an agreement with GSK for the

takeover of the formerly identified ‘non-core’ OTC-brands of GSK in Europe for the amount of €470

million (GBP 398 million) in cash. The acquired brands are amongst others Lactacyd, Abtei,

Solpadeine, Zantac, Nytol and Beconase and represented in 2011 a turnover of more than €200

million. The transaction was largely completed in June 2012. As a part of the agreement, Omega

Pharma took over the production plant in Herrenberg (Germany) on 1 July 2012. Several brands of

the acquisition are produced in Herrenberg.

• 24 April 2012. Omega Pharma announced that it made a public offer in Belgium and the Grand-Duchy

of Luxembourg for two series of retail bonds for an expected total minimum amount of €25 million

each and a combined expected total minimum amount of €100 million. The fixed rate for the bonds

due 2017 is 4.500%, and 5.000% for the bonds due 2019. It was mentioned that the bonds were

intended to finance part of the acquisition by Omega Pharma of an important portfolio of European

OTC brands from GSK. On 26 April 2012, Omega Pharma announced that this public offer had been

closed after the first day of the subscription period because the combined expected total maximum

amount of €300 million was largely achieved. The total issue amount was €300 million of which €180

million for the 5 year bond and €120 million for the 7 year bond. The total amount of subscriptions

received by the Joint Lead Managers was significantly higher than the total issue amount. The issue

date was 23 May 2012. The bonds are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.

• 31 May 2012. Omega Pharma reached agreement with the South-African company CAVI Brands

(Proprietary) Limited to create a 51/49 joint venture, named OmegaLabs. The joint venture became

operational early July with the launch of Wartner, Silence, Predictor and a number of other Omega

Pharma brands.

• 29 June 2013. Omega Pharma’s capital structure was strengthened by a capital injection of

€190,000,000.00 through the issuing of 5,277,778 new shares. On the balance sheet, €3,586,777.93 is

the agreement, Omega will exclusively market, distribute and sell Kwizda Pharma`s BronchoStop

brand of cough products under its umbrella brand label in the UK, Ireland, France, Belgium, the

Netherlands, Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland. This co-

branding collaboration opens access for BronchoStop into Western Europe and allows Omega Pharma

to further expand its market position in the cough market.

• 15 November 2012. Omega Pharma closed the acquisition of the OTC brand Optalidon. The brand for

pain relief products has a strong market position in Italy and is also marketed in Spain and Belgium.

The acquisition of Optalidon further strengthens Omega Pharma’s portfolio for the European pain

relief market segment, which already includes Solpadeine, a leading brand in its segment in the UK.

• 27 November 2012. Omega Pharma Invest, the company that holds the shares of Omega Pharma,

announced that it made a public offer in Belgium and the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg for a retail

bond for an expected minimum amount of €200 million and a maximum amount of €300 million. The

fixed rate for the bonds, due 2017, is 5.125%. On 30 November 2012, the first day of the subscription

period, the public offer was closed because the maximum amount of €300 million was largely

achieved. The bonds were issued and accepted for trading on Luxembourg Stock Exchange on 12

December 2012.
