PRESS RELEASE

 Annual General Meeting Statement

Guildford, UK - 22 June 2023: Ergomed plc (LSE: ERGO) ('Ergomed' or the 'Company'), a company focused on providing specialised services to the pharmaceutical industry, announces the following update from Dr Miroslav Reljanović, Executive Chairman, in advance of the Company's Annual General Meeting ('AGM') to be held this morning at 9.30am BST:

"Ergomed started the year from a position of strength, having finished 2022 with a strong order book. The Company has made a good start to the year, with solid overall growth in revenues reflecting our resilient services-based business model and the global strength of our offering.

The Company has continued to invest in its commercial expansion, infrastructure, and platform to support sustainable future growth while continuing to ensure prudent cost management. Investment has primarily been in our North American commercial capabilities, our global senior leadership presence, and also in technology as we continue to enhance our digital capabilities and the expansion of our service offering to our client base.

Simultaneously, we continue our disciplined approach to strategic M&A, actively seeking and assessing potential acquisitions which would complement our existing business and strengthen our global footprint.

The Company remains in a robust financial position, debt free, with a strong balance sheet and unutilised facilities of up to £80.0 million to support continued expansion both organically and through acquisitions. 

Ergomed continues to demonstrate its resilience and increasing competitive strength, notwithstanding the continued macro-economic challenges. Based on our trading performance since the start of the year, the Board anticipates financial results for the full year 2023 to be in line with market expectations.

In line with previous practice, we will provide more detail on trading during the first half of 2023 and the outlook for the 2023 financial year in the Company's July Trading Update.  

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all the Company's staff and shareholders for their continuing support, and we look forward to the rest of this year and beyond with confidence and enthusiasm."
