“We are on track! For 2025, we set out to sustainably optimise our operational business through improved processes and prepare CHEPLAPHARM for the next phase of growth,” says CHEPLAPHARM Co-CEO Sebastian Braun. “We have achieved this goal and, among other things, have significantly improved our product availability, which has had a positive impact on revenue growth. The result is a revenue increase of just over eight per cent, making 2025 a successful year.”
Dr Kia Parssanedjad, CFO of CHEPLAPHARM, adds: “CHEPLAPHARM’s performance was also well received by the capital markets. In the financial year 2025 and early this year, we successfully placed two new bonds with long maturities on attractive terms. This has secured CHEPLAPHARM’s financing for the long term. It gives us planning security and flexibility as we look ahead to the next phase of growth.”
CHEPLAPHARM’s core business is the acquisition of well-established branded medicines. Over the past 20 years, the Greifswald-based company has become one of the global market leaders in this sector. This strongly growing market continues to offer the company many attractive acquisition opportunities, which CHEPLAPHARM intends to capitalise on more actively in the future.
With an EBITDA margin of around 39 per cent, CHEPLAPHARM is a highly profitable company and an attractive employer. The number of employees within the CHEPLAPHARM Group rose slightly to a total of 799 worldwide by the end of 2025 (FY2024: 785).
