STADA’s business development in the first six months of 2018 as expected

• Increase in adjusted Group sales – driven by both Generics and Branded Products

realignment, implementing steps such as acquiring the EMEA rights for Nizoral dandruff treatment
shampoo and taking over distribution responsibility for our strongest-selling product APO-Go in
Germany, with Scandinavia to follow shortly. As such, we remain on track to reach our targets for
2018,” STADA CEO Dr. Claudio Albrecht strikes a positive balance.
