Weak numbers but in line with expectations 15 May 2026

Advanz Pharma reported weak Q1-26 results but they were not as bad as feared, in our High Yield Credit

supply chain issues with Paliperidone and Lanreotide and contribution of the M&A which Pharmaceuticals

closed last quarter. Excluding the gain on disposal of the Indian marketing rights for Joshgun Garayev

Paliperidone remediation works remain on track, and Lanreotide batches continued to be

released to the market and 5) biosimilar contribution for the first time.

We came away from the call relatively positively. Revenue and EBITDA guidance for
