Disclosure of an inside information acc. to Article 17 MAR of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, transmitted by DGAP - a service of EQS Group AG.
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.



Hamburg, Germany - Evotec SE (Frankfurt Stock Exchange; EVT, MDAX/TecDAX, ISIN: DE0005664809, WKN 566480) today announced an increase in its profitability guidance for the financial year 2019 after the preliminary completion of the latest evaluation of the Company's financial performance.

Based on the preliminary unaudited consolidated results for the financial year 2019, the Company now expects an increase of the adjusted Group EBITDA* by more than 25% (previously: improve by approx. 15%) for 2019 compared to previous year (2018: € 92.0 m). The positive adjustment of the guidance is primarily due to a strong operating performance in the fourth quarter of 2019 and unexpectedly high milestone revenues from long-term partnerships such as those with Celgene, Bayer and Sanofi in December 2019, which in particular needed to be clarified in terms of revenue recognition and the corresponding allocation to the 2019 or 2020 financial year.

All other elements of the Company's financial guidance are confirmed.
 

*(EBITDA excludes contingent considerations, income from bargain purchase and excl. impairments on goodwill, other intangible and tangible assets as well as the total non-operating result)
