Rafael Padilla, CEO of Fagron:
"I am pleased to report a strong start to 2025 with all regions contributing to another quarter of outstanding performance.
Our organic growth reflects the strength of our commercial strategy, continued operational efficiencies, and the successful execution of our global excellence initiatives. North America delivered another remarkable performance, supported by robust underlying trends at Compounding Services. In Latin America, growth has accelerated this quarter driven by the solid performance of Brands and Essentials. In EMEA, performance improved through the quarter more than offsetting the tough comparison against a strong Q1 2024.
We continue to demonstrate the strength of our business model and value proposition driven by a culture of quality and innovation, which positions Fagron to lead the pharmaceutical compounding industry. In this regard, I am pleased to share that FDA has acknowledged our corrective actions in Wichita adequately addressed their requirements, pending a site visit. This highlights our efforts and strong commitment to quality, a key differentiator and enabler of long-term value creation.
We have just closed our third transaction in 2025, by completing the acquisition of CareFirst, which will reinforce Anazao's footprint with a third facility in the North-East of the country. We are on track with the integration of all our recent acquisitions and remain committed to exploring market opportunities globally that will further strengthen our position.
Looking ahead, we remain confident in our outlook and reiterate our full year 2025 guidance, as we continue to capitalize on growth opportunities that support our strategic objectives."
