Frauenfeld, 19 August 2025 Press release Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR Total revenue rises by 10.2 per cent in the first half of the year Rx growth accelerates to 43.5 per cent; sequential quarterly growth of 4.6 per cent TeleClinic increases revenue by over 150 per cent Continued structural EBITDA improvement in the second quarter AI-based DocMorris Assistant launched as a digital companion CEO Walter Hess says: “DocMorris is continuing to develop in a clearly recognisable way: we are consistently strengthening our foundation with the online pharmacy and scaling new, high-growth services in parallel. By expanding our ecosystem, we are laying the foundation to position ourselves as Europe's trusted health companion. A key milestone in this process is the AI-based DocMorris Assistant, which combines our offerings into an integrated, comprehensive healthcare experience for our customers.” CFO Daniel Wüest adds: “With our revenue growth in the first half of the year, we are on track to achieve our targets. The financial result improved structurally, particularly in the second quarter, and shows that we are on a clear path to sustainable profitability.” Significant revenue growth in the first half of the year DocMorris increased its external revenue[1] by 10.2 per cent[2] to CHF 572.1 million in the first half of the year. Despite fewer working days due to public holidays, revenue rose by 7.1 per cent to CHF 275.5 million in the second quarter. The number of active customers[3] rose from 10.3 million to 10.5 million in the first half of the year, with a significant increase in the number of new Rx customers. Clearly improved result in the second quarter Adjusted EBITDA amounted to minus CHF 28.8 million in the first half of the year. The first quarter included upfront costs for the TV campaign, while the ongoing costs of the campaign are spread across all quarters. The visible structural improvement in EBITDA in the second quarter will continue in the second half of the year. Rx growth continues to accelerate External Rx revenue rose significantly by 43.5 per cent in the first half of the year. From the first to the second quarter, Rx revenue increased by 4.6 per cent. DocMorris expects sequential growth to accelerate further, driven by an increase in the basket value of existing customers and higher order frequencies. The ruling of the Federal Court of Justice on 17 July 2025 on the admissibility of prescription bonuses (see press release) strengthens the competitive position. Focus on profitability and growth in the non-Rx business In the non-Rx business[4], external revenue increased by 4.4 per cent in the first half of the year, despite the discontinuation of the Zur Rose brand at the end of 2024. The services TeleClinic, retail media and marketplace developed over proportionately well in terms of revenue and EBITDA. TeleClinic grows strongly TeleClinic recorded growth of over 150 per cent to CHF 11.2 million in the first half of the year. With its rapidly growing number of partnerships, TeleClinic is becoming an integral part of the standard of care in Germany with its leading range of services and products. With Westfalen-Lippe (16,000 physicians), the second cooperation agreement with a regional physician association (KVWL) has been won. Since April 2025, physicians in Germany have been able to carry out and bill up to 50 per cent (previously 30 per cent) of their treatments online. DocMorris continues to expand its health ecosystem DocMorris offers its customers and patients comprehensive digital services: online pharmacy, marketplace, telemedicine, relevant health content and services. In August, the beta version of the AI-based DocMorris Assistant was launched, which will give patients access to an integrated, comprehensive healthcare experience. Outlook Based on developments to date, management confirms the revenue and earnings guidance for 2025 and the medium-term targets announced on 10 April.
