• The company reached €90.1 M in sales (+ 7%), driven mainly by the excellent growth of its nutritional supplements line in France (+ 42%) and the antibiotic and injectable products line (+ 11%).
• EBITDA stood at €7.6 M (+ 12.5%) and net result at €2.96 M, with 7.5% growth due mainly to the impact of higher amortizations.

The investment in productive assets reached €5.6 M derived from the completion of the Toledo plant expansion; the start of the new facilities construction at the Barcelona plant; and the adaptation to the European Directive EU 2011/62 for the prevention of counterfeit medicines. Investment in R&D stood at additional €2.4 M (+ 11%).
