2013 SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS



After a growth by 22.4% in the first quarter due notably to the strong pathology, sales revenue in the second quarter increased by 4.7% at current exchange rate (+5.2% at constant exchange rate).
Unda has announced its attention to reorganize its activities in order to ensure the development of homeopathy in Belgium. This project, likely to have social effects on the two Belgian sites, could affect around 60 employees over 194.
In the United States, the settlement agreement aimed to put an end to the legal proceeding relating to Children's Coldcalm® medicine in California obtained the prior approval of the Los Angeles court. Boiron USA is awaiting the court's final approval of the agreement. A provision of one million US dollars was recorded in the accounts as of December 31, 2011, which we still believe is corresponding to the risk incurred.
On June 30, 2013, the cash position of the group is exceeding 100 million euros against 94.7 million euros on December 31, 2012.

The half-year profitability should be in noticeable progress. In support of these performances, the group confirms targeting a new increase of its activity and profitability in 2013.
