Barcelona, 6 May 2014.- Grifols’ (MCE:GRF, MCE:GRF.P and NASDAQ:GRFS) revenues rose by 16.7% during the first quarter of the year to 798.0 million euros, including Novartis’ transfusion diagnostic business, acquired in January 2014. At constant exchange rate (cc), income rose by 20.2%, with the geographical diversification of sales helping to mitigate exchange rate effects.
The results to March reflect the anticipated changes to the relative weight of each division as a share of total group income, as a result of the integration of the transfusion diagnostic unit acquired. The sales of the Bioscience division totaled 601.0 million euros, 75.3% of Grifols’ revenue. Sales volumes of IVIG and alpha-1 antitrypsin, two of the company’s main plasma proteins, performed strongly in a context of price stability.
The Hospital division recorded sales of 24.3 million euros, a figure that represents 3.0% of revenues. During the quarter, the division continued to internationalize, with Hospital Logistics projects in Chile and Argentina, and Intravenous Therapy projects in the United States. However, sales continued to be heavily concentrated in Spain, and the restrictions on hospital expenditure had a significant impact on sales, which fell by 7.3% (cc).
(1) Adjusted EBITDA excludes non-recurring costs and associated with recent acquisitions
The Diagnostic division increased its share of revenues to 18.4%, as forecast. The sales of this business area were 146.5 million euros (excluding 3.6 million euros of intersegment sales).
The company has become a global leader in transfusion medicine, manufacturing both instruments and reagents for immunohematology and hemostasis. Successes have included the implementation of immunohematology analyzers (Wadiana® and Erytra®) and the increase in unit sales of blood typing cards (DG-Gel®) in countries such as France, United Kingdom, Russia, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Another key achievement during the quarter was the contract to supply the Japanese Red Cross with NAT technology (Procleix® Panther® System) to analyze blood donations in Japan. Promoting the Diagnostic division has a clear objective: to make the company more global, diversified and with a wider growth potential.
Grifols’ non-recurring sales, included within the Raw Materials & Others division, rose to 26.2 million euros, representing 3.3% of sales. These include, among others, all royalties (Bioscience and Diagnostic), income from manufacturing agreements with Kedrion, and third-party engineering projects performed by Grifols Engineering
· Approximately 93% of income generated in international markets
Grifols continues to drive sales in international markets. The purchase of Novartis’ transfusion diagnostic unit, completed on January 2014 has helped to drive sales of the Diagnostic division in the United States. These sales have not been allocated to a specific region as work is still being done towards an accurate classification.
Excluding sales generated by this new business unit, income in the United States and Canada continued to rise. Sales rose by 6.4% (cc) in comparable terms, to 419.7 million euros, although the new conditions of some contracts in Canada continue to impact the results.
In the European Union, sales decrease slowed to 2.8% (cc), with sales revenue standing at 139.2 million euros. Sales of plasma proteins performed strongly in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), while sales of products and services related to the Diagnostic and Hospital divisions decelerated. Since January 2014 revenues included in “Others” (Raw Materials & Others) are not split by geography. 2013 numbers have been amended for comparison purposes.
ROW (Rest of World) sales fell by 6.1% (cc) as a result of the timing of tenders and conclusion of some contracts. Demand for plasma proteins such as albumin continued to rise in regions such as Latin America.
The strategy of achieving long term growth through international markets continued during the first quarter of 2014, with the start of activities in new regions such as the Middle East. In this regard, it is worth noting that Grifols attended the Arab Health Congress in Dubai for the first time. The importance of this event derives both from the potential of the United
Arab Emirates market, and the fact that it is at the center of a large zone of influence. In the six countries that form the Gulf Cooperation Council alone (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates) there are 15 hospital projects in progress.
· Excellent evolution of EBITDA margin: 200 bps increase to 33.9% of revenues
Grifols operating margins have continued to improve. The EBITDA margin rose by 200 bps to 33.9% of revenues, compared to 31.9% for the same period of 2013. In absolute terms, EBITDA was 270.2 million euros, with growth of 23.7%.
Grifols’ adjusted EBITDA(1) rose by 21.6% to 279.9 million euros, representing an EBITDA to revenues margin of 35.1%.
This positive performance confirms the group’s improved productivity, primarily focused on the optimization of raw materials and its cost and in the greater flexibility of manufacturing processes in the Bioscience division. The aim is to maximize the utilization of each liter of plasma and its profitability as a result. This will enable balanced market share growth of each plasma protein, ensuring industrial efficiency. In addition, the new sales mix by division, and the greater weight of the Diagnostic division have been positive developments during the quarter, and their effects will continue during the rest of the year. The policy of containing operating costs related to central services continues.

· Net profit rises by 32.9% to 121.0 million euros
Grifols’ net profit rose by 32.9% to 121.0 million euros, a figure that represents 15.2% of the group’s revenues, compared to 13.3% for the same period of 2013. Net adjusted profit, which excludes non recurrent costs and associated with recent acquisitions, amortization of the deferred financial costs associated with the refinancing and the amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisitions, was 147.0 million euros.
During the quarter, the company maintained its financial results that included the financial cost of the 1,500 million dollar bridge loan to finance the acquisition of the transfusion diagnostic unit of Novartis. The financial result was 66.9 million euros, including the amortization of the deferred costs and those related to the cancelation of bonds and debt as part of the group’s refinancing process. This process, completed in March, has enabled Grifols to reduce its funding costs and extend its maturity profile, improvements that will have an impact in the coming quarters.
BALANCE SHEET
· March 2014: Key balance sheet indicators
Total consolidated assets at March 2014 were 7,192.4 million euros, a significant increase compared to the figure of 5,841.0 million euros reported in December 2013. The differences primarily reflect the acquisition of the assets of the Novartis’ transfusion diagnostic unit.
In particular, there has been a net increase in tangible fixed assets of more than 100 million euros, that include a plant in Emeryville (California, United States) acquired to Novartis. Intangible fixed assets have also increased as a result of an estimated 930.2 million euro of goodwill following the acquisition. This amount is still provisional, although no significant reallocation of the goodwill valuation between different asset classes is expected.
During the first three months of 2014, the group’s cash position stood at 684.6 million euros. Operating cash flow generation remains strong with the group generating 124.9 million euros, compared to 92.4 million euros obtained during the same period of 2013.
· Net financial debt increases, but average cost falls by more than 200 bps to below 3.5%
Grifols’ net financial debt at the end of the first quarter of 2014 stood at 3,180.3 million euros, including an additional 1,500 million dollars corresponding to the acquisition of Novartis’ transfusion diagnostic unit. This represents a leverage ratio of 2.83 times to adjusted EBITDA(1), higher than the ratio of 2.28 reported in December 2013.
Strong cash generation and debt reduction have enabled the company to successfully refinance its entire debt for a value of 5,500 million dollars (4,075 million euros).
Following the completion of this process in March 2014, the average cost of Grifols’ debt has fallen by over 200 bps to below 3.5%, and the average maturity term has been extended to 7 years. Both factors will enable the company to stabilize its financial costs despite an increase in absolute debt levels.
Debt reduction remains a priority for the company, whose high and sustainable levels of operating activity and cash generation mean that it is able to meet this objective. Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s have maintained Grifols’ corporate rating at levels prior to the acquisition.

INVESTMENTS
· Capital expenditure (CAPEX)
During the first three months of the year, Grifols has invested 45.7 million euros of cash in expanding and improving its manufacturing facilities, and in maintaining the facilities of its investees. In addition, the company plans to allocate approximately 600 million euros to capital expenditure between 2014 and 2016. This amount includes additional resources designed to strengthen the Diagnostic division following the recent acquisition of Novartis’ transfusion diagnostic unit.
Among the milestones of the first quarter of 2014 it can be highlighted the opening of the plasma fractionation plant at Parets del Vallès (Barcelona, Spain), a development that doubles Grifols’ plasma fractionation capacity in Spain, to 4.2 million liters/year. The company has invested over 20 million euros in this project, which will gradually generate almost 100 jobs, including both direct and indirect employment. Capital investments in investees include the project that brings all of Araclon Biotech’s research activity, an R&D company specializing in immunotherapy and diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, under a single roof at its corporate headquarters in Zaragoza (Spain). Grifols is the majority shareholder in Araclon, with 61% of its equity.
· Acquisitions: completion of the purchase of Novartis Diagnostic Unit
The acquisition of the transfusion diagnostic and immunology unit from Swiss company Novartis was completed on January 9, 2014 for a total of 1,653 million dollars (1,215 million euros). The operation was implemented through a newly created 100% Grifols-owned subsidiary. The operation is part of Grifols’ growth strategy of complementing and growing its range of diagnostic products and services.
· R&D: In-House and through investees
Grifols’ continuing commitment to research is based on financial solvency and liquidity. From January to March 2014, Grifols allocated a total of 37.9 million euros to R&D, an increase of 29.3% compared to the same period of 2013, representing 4.7% of revenues. Priority objectives or the company during 2014 include the acceleration of research projects exploring new uses for albumin, and further therapeutic applications of this and other plasma proteins.
Grifols also promotes research activity through additional investment in R&D in its investees. An example of this is the start of phase 1 of the clinical trial of the vaccine against Alzheimer’s disease that Grifols develops through Araclon. Grifols also supports and promotes other initiatives that are aligned with or complementary to its own activity areas, where these contribute to scientific progress and social well-being. An example is the Fundació ACE’s new center for the treatment and research of Alzheimer’s disease: the “Barcelona Alzheimer Treatment & Research Center”.
ANALYSIS BY DIVISION
· Bioscience Division: 75.3% of revenues
Grifols’ Bioscience division accounts for 75.3% of its business. Sales to March 2014 rose by 2.4% (cc) to 601.0 million euros. Sales volumes of IVIG and alpha-1 antitrypsin performed strongly.
One of the company’s objectives is to promote the diagnosis of alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), a rare disease whose symptoms overlap with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which, if not treated, can lead to pulmonary emphysema. Grifols has developed a unique, innovative system, AlphaKit® QuickScreen, that takes only a few minutes and some drops of blood to detect whether an individual is a carrier of the Z mutation, responsible for over 95% of severe cases of this disease. It will be released for distribution in several EU countries in the near future as it obtained the CE marking after the end of the quarter.
Among the milestones of the first quarter of 2014 it can be highlighted the Grifols’ compromise to World Hemophilia Federation, to which Grifols will donate up to 60 million units of clotting factors to the World Federation of Hemophilia in the next three years. This major donation will ensure an average of 40,000 doses until 2017 to treat approximately 10,000 patients in developing countries in which access to these treatments is non-existent or insufficient.
· Diagnostic Division: 18.4% of revenues
One of the more relevant events of the Diagnostic division has been the agreement to supply NAT Technology to Japanese Red Cross. Procleix® Panther® System will be use to analyze 5.3 million Japanese blood donations. The contract, which will run for 7 years, is worth 375 million dollars (274 million euros) at current exchange rate in products and services for Grifols.
The launch of the next generation of the BLOODchip® product range in Barcelona, represents a further improvement to the company’s transfusion medicine offering, and will contribute to Grifols’ ambition of leading the expansion of the blood genotyping segment It is also important the FDA approval of the Erytra® analyzer that has become the first high- processing capacity instrument available on the US market for the performance of transfusional compatibility tests. The launch of Erytra® in the United States is scheduled for July.
· Hospital Division: 3.0% of income
The Hospital division generates most of its sales in Spain and therefore continues to be the division most directly affected by the measures to rationalize healthcare spending implemented by the Spanish government. Income has maintained its downward trend to 24.3 million euros, although the division has continued to internationalize its activity base.
Significant developments have included two hospital logistics projects in Chile, the pharmacy service automation in one of Argentina’s most important private clinic in Buenos Aires, and the installation of Misterium®-Modular Clean Rooms for the preparation of intravenous solutions under sterile conditions in several centers in the United States.

In the European Union, sales decrease slowed to 2.8% (cc), with sales revenue standing at 139.2 million euros. Sales of plasma proteins performed strongly in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), while sales of products and services related to the Diagnostic and Hospital divisions decelerated. Since January 2014 revenues included in “Others” (Raw Materials & Others) are not split by geography. 2013 numbers have been amended for comparison purposes. ROW (Rest of World) sales fell by 6.1% (cc) as a result of the timing of tenders and conclusion of some contracts. Demand for plasma proteins such as albumin continued to rise in regions such as Latin America. The strategy of achieving long term growth through international markets continued during the first quarter of 2014, with the start of activities in new regions such as the Middle East. In this regard, it is worth noting that Grifols attended the Arab Health Congress in Dubai for the first time. The importance of this event derives both from the potential of the United Arab Emirates market, and the fact SALES BY REGION IN THOUSANDS OF EUROS 1Q 2014 % VENTAS 1Q 2013 % SALES % VAR. % VAR.

6 FIRST QUARTER 2014 REPORT that it is at the center of a large zone of influence. In the six countries that form the Gulf Cooperation Council alone (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates) there are 15 hospital projects in progress. MARGINS AND PROFITS Excellent evolution of the EBITDA margin: 200 bps increase to 33.9% of revenues Grifols operating margins have continued to improve. The EBITDA margin rose by 200 bps to 33.9% of revenues, compared to 31.9% for the same period of 2013. In absolute terms, EBITDA was 270.2 million euros, with growth of 23.7%. Grifols’ adjusted EBITDA1 rose by 21.6% to 279.9 million euros, representing an EBITDA to revenues margin of 35.1%. This positive performance confirms the group’s improved productivity, primarily focused on the optimization of raw materials and its cost and in the greater flexibility of manufacturing processes in the Bioscience division. The aim is to maximize the utilization of each liter of plasma, and profitability as a result. This will enable balanced market share growth of each plasma protein, ensuring industrial efficiency. In addition, the new sales mix by division, and the greater weight of the Diagnostic division have been positive developments during the quarter, and their effects will continue during the rest of the year. The policy of containing operating costs related to central services continues. Net profit rises by 32.9% to 121.0 million euros Grifols’ net profit rose by 32.9% to 121.0 million euros, a figure that represents 15.2% of the group’s revenues, compared to 13.3% for the same period of 2013.Net adjusted profit2, which excludes non recurrent costs and associated with recent acquisitions, amortization of the deferred financial costs associated with the refinancing and the amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisitions, was 147.0 million euros. During the quarter, the company maintained its financial results that included the financial cost of the 1,500 million dollar bridge loan to finance the acquisition of the transfusion diagnostic unit of Novartis. The financial result was 66.9 million euros, including the amortization of the deferred costs and those related to the cancelation of bonds and debt as part of the group’s refinancing process. This process, completed in March, has enabled Grifols to reduce its funding costs and extend its maturity profile, improvements that will have an impact in the coming quarters. The decrease of effective tax rate is mainly due to a change of country mix of profits. RESULTS FOR THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2014 IN MILLIONS OF EUROS 1Q 2014 1Q 2013 % VAR.

7 FIRST QUARTER 2014 REPORT 2. BALANCE SHEET: KEY INDICATORS AS OF MARCH 2014 Total consolidated assets at March 2014 were 7,192.4 million euros, a significant increase compared to the figure of 5,841.0 million euros reported in December 2013. The differences primarily reflect the acquisition of the assets of the Novartis’ transfusion diagnostic unit. In particular, there has been a net increase in tangible fixed assets of more than 100 million euros, that include a plant in Emeryville (California, United States) acquired to Novartis. Intangible fixed assets have also increased as a result of an estimated 930.2 million euros of goodwill following the acquisition. This amount is still provisional, although no significant reallocation of the goodwill valuation between different asset classes is expected. During the first three months of 2014, the group’s cash position stood at 684.6 million euros. Operating cash flow generation remains strong with the group generating 124.9 million euros, compared to 92.4 million euros obtained during the same period of 2013. Changes to working capital are related to business growth and the incorporation of the new business unit. NET FINANCIAL DEBT INCREASES, BUT AVERAGE COST FALLS BY MORE THAN 200 BPS TO BELOW 3.5% Grifols’ net financial debt at the end of the first quarter of 2014 stood at 3,180.3 million euros, including an additional 1,500 million dollars corresponding to the acquisition of Novartis’ transfusion diagnostic unit. This represents a leverage ratio of 2.83 times to adjusted EBITDA1, higher than the ratio of 2.28 reported in December 2013. Strong cash generation and debt reduction have enabled the company to successfully refinance its entire debt for a value of 5,500 million dollars (4,075 million euros). FINANCIAL STRUCTURE OF GRIFOLS AND NEW CONDITIONS FOLLOWING REFINANCING: STRUCTURE AMOUNT (MILLIONS OF DOLLARS) NEW CONDITIONS TOTAL SENIOR SECURED DEBT 4,500 TERM LOAN A (TLA) LONG-TERM SYNDICATED LOAN WITH FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS 700 INTEREST RATE: LIBOR + 250 EXPIRY: 2020 TERM LOAN B (TLB) LONG-TERM SYNDICATED LOAN WITH QUALIFIED INVESTORS 3,800 INTEREST RATE: LIBOR + 300 EXPIRY: 2021 SENIOR UNSECURED NOTES 1,000 ANNUAL INTEREST: 5.25% EXPIRY: 2022 TOTAL DEBT 5,500 Following the completion of this process in March 2014, the average cost of Grifols’ debt has fallen by over 200 bps to below 3.5%, and the average maturity term has been extended to 7 years. Both factors will enable the company to stabilize its financial costs despite an increase in absolute debt levels. Debt reduction remains a priority for the company, whose high and sustainable levels of operating activity and cash generation mean that it is able to meet this objective. Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s have maintained Grifols’ corporate rating at levels prior to the acquisition. |
8 FIRST QUARTER 2014 REPORT NET EQUITY The net equity of Grifols to March 2014 rose to 2,224.4 million euros, primarily as a result of profits earned during the period, as there were no significant changes compared to December 2013. At March 2014, Grifols’ share capital stood at 119.6 million euros, represented by 213,064,899 ordinary shares (Class A) with a nominal value of 0.50 euros per share, and 130,712,555 non-voting shares (Class B) each with a nominal value of 0.10 euros. 3. INVESTMENT AREAS: CAPEX, ACQUISITIONS, R&D The first quarter of 2014 was characterized by solid results, positive cash flow figures, and the optimization and control of financial resources, all of which have provide the company with the resources required for its planned investments and for new investments in the future. CAPITAL EXPENDITURE (CAPEX) During the first three months of the year, Grifols has invested 45.7 million euros of cash in expanding and improving its manufacturing facilities, and in maintaining the facilities of its investees. In addition, the company plans to allocate approximately 600 million euros to capital expenditure between 2014 and 2016. This amount includes additional resources designed to strengthen the Diagnostic division following the recent acquisition of Novartis’ transfusion diagnostic unit. New plasma fractionation plant opened in Spain The first quarter of 2014 saw the opening of the new plasma fractionation plant at Parets del Vallès (Barcelona, Spain), a development that doubles Grifols’ plasma fractionation capacity in Spain, to 4.2 million liters/year. The company has invested over 20 million euros in this project, which will gradually generate almost 100 jobs, including both direct and indirect employment. The new plant occupies 4,500 m2, and includes 20 high-tech reactors and a high level of automation. The plant already holds a European Medicines Agency (EMA) license and expects to obtain authorization from the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) before the end of the year. Grifols has two other fractionation plants in the United States, with a combined fractionation capacity of over 5 million liters/year. Future plans provide for this to rise to over 12 million liters by 2016, following approval of the new plasma fractionation plant in Clayton (North Carolina, United States). Opening of new headquarters of Araclon Biotech Major capital expenditure (CAPEX) in companies in which Grifols has a majority holding include the project that brings all of Araclon Biotech’s research activity under a single roof at its corporate headquarters in Zaragoza (Spain). Araclon is an R&D company specializing in immunotherapy and diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and other degenerative diseases, and its research projects are part of Grifols’ global Alzheimer’s research strategy focusing on three key fields: early diagnosis, prevention through the development of a vaccine, and new treatments to slow down the disease’s progress. The new facilities occupy a 1,500 m2 site, housing a laboratory that is one of the most advanced in Europe, equipped with the very latest technology and employing almost thirty members of staff, 80% of whom are researchers. Grifols is the majority shareholder in Araclon, with 61% of its equity. |
9 FIRST QUARTER 2014 REPORT Acquisitions: completion of the purchase of Novartis diagnostic unit The acquisition of the transfusion diagnostic and immunology unit from Swiss company Novartis was completed on January 9, 2014 for a total of 1,653 million dollars (1,215 million euros). The operation was implemented through a newly created 100% Grifols-owned subsidiary. The operation is part of Grifols’ growth strategy of complementing and growing its range of diagnostic products and services. Grifols has expanded its portfolio by including Novartis’ diagnostic and transfusion medicine products, including its NAT technology (Nucleic Acid Amplification Techniques), test analysis instrumentation and equipment, specific software and reagents. The assets acquired include patents, brands, licenses and royalties, together with the production plant at Emeryville (California, United States) and commercial offices in the United States, Switzerland and Hong Kong (for the Asia-Pacific region) among others. The move has also added approximately 550 members of staff to Grifols’ workforce, with the incorporation of Novartis’ employees. R&D: in-house and through investees Grifols’ continuing commitment to research is based on financial solvency and liquidity. From January to March 2014, Grifols allocated a total of 37.9 million euros to R&D, an increase of 29.3% compared to the same period of 2013, representing 4.7% of revenues. Priority objectives for the company during 2014 include the acceleration of research projects exploring new uses for albumin, and further therapeutic applications of this and other plasma proteins. Grifols also promotes research activity through additional investment in R&D in its investees. An example of this is the start of phase 1 of the clinical trial of the vaccine against Alzheimer’s disease that Grifols is developing through Araclon. This phase, which started in January 2014 with 24 participants and will evaluate tolerability and safety in humans but not effectiveness, is a significant milestone for the project. Grifols also supports and promotes other initiatives that are aligned with or complementary to its own activity areas, where these contribute to scientific progress and social well-being. An example is the Fundació ACE’s new center for the treatment and research of Alzheimer’s disease: the Barcelona Alzheimer Treatment & Research Center. Grifols’ partnership with Fundació ACE reflects the company’s interest in promoting research into Alzheimer’s disease. The center will be an independent body that facilitates the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases, and promotes biomedical research into these conditions. The first research project it is hosting is Grifols’ AMBAR study (Alzheimer Management by Albumin Replacement). As an independent center, its facilities are also open to other research groups. The center has been designed in accordance with the Fundació ACE’s guidelines for excellence, which satisfy the requirements of the National Alzheimer’s Project in the United States. |
10 FIRST QUARTER 2014 REPORT 4. ANALYSIS BY DIVISION The acquisition of Novartis’ transfusion diagnostic unit in January 2014 has changed the relative weight of the different business divisions of Grifols, and confirms the company’s leadership in transfusion medicine. BIOSCIENCE DIVISION: 75.3 % OF REVENUES Sales volumes of IVIG and alpha 1-antitrypsin on the rise Grifols’ Bioscience division accounts for 75.3% of its business. Sales to March 2014 rose by 2.4% (cc) to 601.0 million euros. Sales volumes of IVIG and alpha-1 antitrypsin performed strongly. Grifols promotes diagnosis of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, an underdiagnosed disease with symptoms similar to COPD One of the company’s objectives is to promote the diagnosis of alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), a rare disease whose most frequent symptoms in adults overlap with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and which, if not treated, can lead to pulmonary emphysema. Grifols has developed a unique, innovative system, AlphaKit® QuickScreen, that takes only a few minutes and some drops of blood to detect whether an individual is a carrier of the Z mutation, responsible for over 95% of severe cases of this disease. It will be released for distribution in several EU countries in the near future as it obtained the CE marking after the end of the quarter, and it is expected to go on sale in the United States after. Grifols will donate up to 60 million units of clotting factors to the world federation of hemophilia in three years Grifols will donate up to 20 million units of clotting factors to the World Federation of Hemophilia in the next three years. This major donation, announced to mark World Hemophilia Day, will ensure an average of 40,000 doses until 2017 to treat approximately 10,000 patients in developing countries in which access to these treatments is non-existent or insufficient. DIAGNOSTIC DIVISION: 18.4% OF REVENUES Grifols to supply NAT technology to the Japanese Red Cross to analyze blood donations in Japan Procleix® Panther® System is the cutting edge automated system that the Japanese Red Cross will use to analyze 5.3 million blood donations per year, and to screen them for HIV and hepatitis viruses with nucleic acid amplification test (NAT) techniques before the blood can be used for transfusions or other medical uses. The contract, which will run for 7 years, is worth 375 million dollars (274 million euros) at current exchange rate in products and services for Grifols. Launch of next generation BLOODchip® products Grifols has presented the next generation of its BLOODchip® product range in Barcelona. This represents a further improvement to the company’s transfusion medicine offering, and will contribute to Grifols’ ambition of leading the expansion of the blood genotyping segment. BLOODchip® technology means that patients’ and donors’ blood groups can be determined through DNA analysis, while the latest innovations improve and simplify the analysis procedure, delivering simpler, faster results. It also incorporates the identification of key blood groups, primarily in patients suffering from anemia. |
11 FIRST QUARTER 2014 REPORT HOSPITAL DIVISION: 3.0% OF INCOME Further internationalization to offset restrictions on healthcare spending in Spain The Hospital division generates most of its sales in Spain and therefore continues to be the division most directly affected by the measures to rationalize healthcare spending implemented by the Spanish government. Income has maintained its downward trend to 24.3 million euros, although the division has continued to internationalize its activity base. Significant developments have included two hospital logistics projects in Chile, consolidating the company’s position as one of the leading suppliers of products and services for hospital pharmacy in Latin America. The company has also automated the pharmacy service in one of Argentina’s most important private clinics in Buenos Aires (Argentina), with the installation of four Kardex® carousels, and has installed Misterium®-Modular Clean Rooms for the preparation of intravenous solutions under sterile conditions in several centers in the United States. Erytra® autoanalyzer obtains FDA approval Internationalization of the immunohematology area is one of the keys to the division’s growth. Significant developments this quarter include sales of Erytra® and Wadiana® analyzers and increased volumes of blood typing cards using DG-Gel® gel agglutination technology. Following approval from the FDA, Erytra® has become the first high-processing capacity instrument available on the US market for the performance of transfusional compatibility tests. The launch of Erytra® in the United States is scheduled for July. |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Grifols. S.A.
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Grifols, S.A. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2014, and the related condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss, and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, and condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persona responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with IAS 34. Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

GRIFOLS, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial statements
for the three-month period ended 31 March 2014
(1) General Information
Grifols, S.A (hereinafter, Grifols, the Company or the Parent Company) was founded in Spain on 22 June 1987 as a limited liability company for an indefinite period of time. Its registered and fiscal address is in Barcelona (Spain). The Company’s statutory activity consists of providing corporate and business administrative, management and control services, as well as investing in assets and property. The Company’s principal activity consists of rendering administrative, management and control services to its subsidiaries.
All the Company’s shares are listed in the Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, and Bilbao stock exchanges and on the Spanish electronic market. Class B shares began quotation on the NASDAQ (United States) and on the Automated Quotation System in Spain on 2 June 2011.
Grifols, S.A. is the parent company of a Group (hereinafter the Group) which acts on an integrated basis under a common management and whose main activity is the procurement, manufacture, preparation, and sale of therapeutic products, particularly haemoderivatives.
The main manufacturing facilities of the Spanish companies of the Group are located in Parets del Vallés (Barcelona) and Torres de Cotillas (Murcia), while those of the North American companies are located in Los Angeles (California, USA), and Clayton (North Carolina, USA) and Emerville (San Francisco, USA).
(2) Basis of Presentation and Accounting Principles Applied
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2013 prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB).
The Board of Directors of Grifols, S.A. authorised for issue these condensed consolidated interim financial statements at their meeting held on 25 April 2014.
The figures in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are expressed in thousands of Euros.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Grifols for the three-month period ended 31 March 2014 have been prepared based on the accounting records kept by Grifols and subsidiaries.
Accounting principles and basis of consolidation applied
The accounting principles and basis of consolidation applied in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2013.
In addition, the following standards that entered into force in 2014 have, accordingly, been taken into account for the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements:
· IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation: Amendments to Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.
· Amendments to IAS 36: Recoverable amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.
· Amendment to IAS 39: Novation of derivatives and continuation of hedge accounting. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.
GRIFOLS, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial statements
for the three-month period ended 31 March 2014
· Investment Entities. Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27, Investment companies. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.
· IFRIC 21 Levies. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.
The application of these standards has not had a significant impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
The IASB also issued the following standards that are effective for reporting periods beginning after 1 April 2014:
· IAS 19 Employee Benefits. Defined benefit pension plans. Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014.
· Improvements to IFRS (2010-2012). Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014.
· Improvements to IFRS (2011-2013). Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014.
· IFRS14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts (issued on 30 January 2014). Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016.
· IFRS 9 Financial instruments and hedge accounting. Expected effective date on 2018.
The Group has not applied any of the standards or interpretations issued prior to their effective date.
The Company’s Directors do not expect that any of the above amendments will have a significant effect on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Responsibility regarding information, estimates, hypotheses, and relevant judgments in the application of accounting policies
The information contained in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three-month period ended 31 March 2014 is the responsibility of the Directors of the Company. The preparation of condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of Group accounting policies. The following notes include a summary of the relevant accounting estimates and judgements used to apply accounting policies which have the most significant effect on the accounts recognised in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
· The assumptions used for calculation of the fair value of financial instruments, in particular, financial derivatives. Financial derivatives are measured based on observable market data (level 2 of fair value hierarchy) (see note 16). The Senior Unsecured Notes and senior secured debt are valued at their quoted price in active markets (level 1 in the fair value hierarchy). Regarding the valuation of derivative instruments, the selection of the appropriate data within the alternatives requires the use of judgement in qualitative factors such as, which methodology and valuation models are used, and in quantitative factors, data required to be included within the chosen models.
· The assumptions used to test non-current assets and goodwill for impairment. Relevant cash generating units are tested annually for impairment. These are based on risk-adjusted future cash flows discounted using appropriate interest rates. Assumptions relating to risk-adjusted future cash flows and discount rates are based on business forecasts and are therefore inherently subjective. Future events could cause a change in business forecasts, with a consequent adverse effect on the future results of the Group. To the extent considered a reasonably possible change in key assumptions could result in an impairment of goodwill, a sensitivity analysis has been disclosed in the note 7 of the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2013 to show the effect of changes to these assumptions and the effect of the cash generating unit (CGU) on the recoverable amount.
GRIFOLS, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial statements
for the three-month period ended 31 March 2014
· Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. The estimated useful lives of each category of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are set out in notes 4(g) and 4(h) of the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2013. Although estimates are calculated by the Company’s management based on the best information available at reporting date, future events may require changes to these estimates in subsequent years. Given the variety and large number of individual items of property, plant and equipment it is not considered likely that a reasonably possible change in the assumptions applicable to any individual item or specific class of assets would lead to a material adverse effect. Potential changes to the useful lives of intangible assets are mainly related to the currently marketed products and the useful lives will depend on the life cycle of the same. No significant changes to useful lives are expected. Adjustments made in subsequent years are recognised prospectively.
· Evaluation of the effectiveness of hedging derivatives. The key assumption relates to the measurement of the effectiveness of the hedge. Hedge accounting is only applicable when the hedge is expected to be highly effective at the inception of the hedge and, in subsequent years, in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, throughout the period for which the hedge was designated (prospective analysis) and the actual effectiveness, which can be reliably measured, is within a range of 80%-125% (retrospective analysis) (see note 16).
· Evaluation of the nature of leases (operating or finance). The Group analyses the conditions of the lease contracts at their inception in order to conclude if the risks and rewards have been transferred. If the lease contract is renewed or amended the Group conducts a new evaluation.
· Assumptions used to determine the fair value of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities related to business combinations.
· Evaluation of the capitalisation of development costs. The key assumption is related to the estimation of sufficient future economic benefits of the projects.
· Evaluation of provisions and contingencies. Key assumptions relate to the evaluation of the likelihood of an outflow of resources due to a past event, as well as to the evaluation of the best estimate of the likely outcome. These estimates take into account the specific circumstances of each dispute and relevant external advice and therefore are inherently subjective and could change substantially over time as new facts arise and each dispute progresses. Details of the status of various uncertainties involved in significant unresolved disputes are set out in note 15.
· Evaluation of the recoverability of receivables from public entities in countries facing liquidity problems, specifically in Italy, Portugal and Spain. The key assumption is the estimation of the amounts expected to be collected from these public entities.
· Evaluation of the recoverability of tax credits, including tax loss carryforwards and rights for deductions. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised, based on management’s assumptions relating to the amount and timing of future taxable profits. Capitalisation of deferred tax assets relating to investments in Group companies depends on whether they will reverse in the foreseeable future (see note 13).
No changes have been made to prior year judgements relating to existing uncertainties.
The Group is also exposed to interest rate and currency risks.
Grifols’ management does not consider that there are any assumptions or causes for uncertainty in the estimates which could imply a significant risk of material adjustments arising in the next financial year.
The estimates, hypotheses and relevant judgments used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not differ from those applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2013.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial statements
for the three-month period ended 31 March 2014
Seasonality of transactions during this period
Given the nature of the activities conducted by the Group, there are no factors that determine any significant seasonality in the Group’s operations that could affect the interpretation of these condensed consolidated interim financial for the three-month period ended 31 March 2014 in comparison with the financial statements for a full fiscal year.
Relative importance
When determining the information to be disclosed in these Notes, in accordance with IAS 34, the relative importance in relation to these condensed consolidated interim financial statements has been taken into account.
(3) Changes in the composition of the Group
For the preparation of its condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Group has included its investments in all subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. Appendix I of the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2013 lists the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures in which Grifols, S.A. holds a direct or indirect stake and that were included in the scope of consolidation at that date.
The main variances in the scope of consolidation during the interim period ended 31 March 2014 are detailed below:
Novartis’ Diagnostic unit
On 9 January 2014 the Group acquired the transfusion medicine and immunology Diagnostic unit of the Swiss company Novartis International AG for approximately US Dollars 1,653 million (Euros 1,215 million).
This transaction has been structured through a newly-created 100% Grifols-owned subsidiary, Grifols Diagnostics Solutions (previously G-C Diagnostics Corp.) (USA) and this transaction has been financed through a US Dollars 1,500 million bridge loan.
Grifols will expand its portfolio by including Novartis’ diagnostic products for transfusion medicine and immunology, including its highly innovative, market-leading NAT technology (Nucleic Acid Amplification Techniques), instrumentation and equipment for blood screening, specific software and reagents. The assets acquired include patents, brands and licenses, together with the production plant at Emeryville (California, United States) and commercial offices in United States, Switzerland and Hong Kong (for the Asia-Pacific region) among others.
The Novartis’ Diagnostic business did not operate as a separate legal entity or segment, so the acquired business was structured as an asset deal, with the exception of the Hong Kong subsidiary, which was acquired via a share deal.
This strategic operation will strengthen Grifols’ Diagnostic division, particularly in the US, with a very strong and specialized commercial organisation. It will also diversify Grifols’ business by promoting an activity area that complements the Bioscience division. The diagnostic business being purchased from Novartis, focused on guaranteeing the safety of blood donations for transfusions or to be used in the production of plasma derivatives, complements and expands Grifols’ existing product range. Grifols will become a vertically integrated company able to provide solutions for blood and plasma donor centres, with the most complete product portfolio in the immunohaematology field, including reagents using gel technology, multicard and the new genotyping technologies from Progenika acquired in 2013.
Grifols’ workforce has increased by approximately 550 employees, after taking on the employees of Novartis.
GRIFOLS, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial statements
for the three-month period ended 31 March 2014
At the date of issue of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements the Group did not have all the necessary information to determine the definitive fair value of intangible assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired in the business combination.
Details of the aggregate business combination cost, the provisional fair value of the net assets acquired and provisional goodwill at the acquisition date (or the amount by which the business combination cost exceeds the fair value of the net assets acquired) are provided below. The values shown in the table below should be considered provisional.

Provisional goodwill generated in the acquisition is attributed to the synergies, workforce and other expected benefits from the business combination of the assets and activities of the Group.
The expenses incurred in this transaction in the three-month period ended 31 March 2014 amount to Euros 5 million (Euros 19 million for the fiscal year 2013).
Had the acquisition taken place at 1 January 2014, the Group’s revenue and consolidated profit for the three-month period ended 31 March 2014 would not have varied significantly. The revenue and operating profit between the acquisition date and 31 March 2014 amounts to Euros 133,873 thousand and Euros 36,360 thousand, respectively.
The amounts provisionally determined at the date of acquisition of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired are as follows:

Provisional fair values were determined using the following methods:
· Intangible assets: the fair value of intangible assets has been calculated based on “royalty relief method” based on existing royalty agreement.
· Property, plant and equipment: the provisional fair value of property, plant and equipment has been determined using the “cost approach”, whereby the value of an asset is measured at the cost of rebuilding or replacing that asset with other similar assets. These assets have been considered provisional pending completion of an independent valuation.

Impairment testing:
As a result of the acquisition of Talecris in 2011, and for impairment testing purposes, the Group combines the CGUs allocated to the Bioscience segment, grouping them together at segment level, because substantial synergies are expected to arise on the acquisition of Talecris, and in light of the vertical integration of the business and the lack of an independent organised market for the products. Because the synergies benefit the Bioscience segment globally they cannot be allocated to individual CGUs. The Bioscience segment represents the lowest level to which goodwill is allocated and is subject to control by Group management for internal control purposes. For the remaining segments CGUs identified by management are tested for impairment. The following CGUs have been identified in the Diagnostic segment as a result of the business combinations carried out by the Group:

On 17 March 2014 the Group has concluded the refinancing process of its debt. The total debt refinanced amounts to US Dollars 5,500 million (Euro 4,075 million) and represents Grifols’s entire debt, including the US Dollars 1,500 million bridge loan obtained for the acquisition of Novartis’ transfusional diagnostics unit. Following the refinancing process, Grifols’ debt structure consists of a US Dollars 4,500 million long-term loan with institutional investors and banks segmented in two tranches (Term Loan A and Term Loan B), and a US Dollars 1,000 million bond issuance (senior unsecured notes).
GRIFOLS, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial statements
for the three-month period ended 31 March 2014
(a) Senior Unsecured Notes
On 5 March 2014, Grifols Worldwide Operations Limited, a 100% subsidiary of Grifols, has issued US Dollars 1,000 million Senior Unsecured Notes (the “Notes”) that will mature in 2022 and will bear annual interest at a rate of 5.25%. These notes replaced the Senior Unsecured Notes issued in 2011 amounting to US Dollars 1,100 million, with a maturity in 2018 and at interest rate of 8.25%.
The present value of the discounted from cash flows under the new agreement, including costs for fees paid and discounted using the original effective interest rate differs by less than 10% of the present value discounted from cash flows remaining in the original debt, whereby the new agreement is not substantially any different to the original agreement.
The costs of refinancing Senior Unsecured Notes have amounted to Euros 65 million, including the cost of cancelling. These costs were included as transaction costs together with other costs deriving from the debt issue and will be taken to profit or loss in accordance with the effective interest rate. Based on the analysis of the quantitative and qualitative factors, the Group has concluded that the renegotiation of conditions of the Senior Unsecured Notes does not trigger a derecognition of the liability. Unamortised financing costs from the Senior Unsecured Notes amount to Euros 139.3 million at 31 March 2014 (Euros 80 million at 31 December 2013).
The total principal plus interest of the Senior Unsecured Notes to be paid is detailed as follows:

(b) Senior Secured Debt
On 17 March 2014 the Group refinanced its Senior Secured Debt. The new senior debt consist of a Term Loan A (“TLA”), which amounts to US Dollars 700 million with a 2.50% margin over US Libor and maturity in 2020 and a Term Loan B (“TLB”) that amounts to US Dollars 3,250 million and Euros 400 million with a 3.00% over Libor and Euribor margin respectively and maturity in 2021. Furthermore, the embedded floor included in the former senior debt, has been terminated. Grifols Worldwide Operations Limited is the sole borrower of this new financing.
The present value discounted from cash flows under the new agreement, including costs for fees paid and discounted using the original effective interest rate differs by less than 10% of the present value discounted from cash flows remaining in the original debt, whereby the new agreement is not substantially any different to the original agreement.
The costs of refinancing the senior debt have amounted to Euros 104.8 million. The termination of the embedded derivatives of the senior debt has formed part of the refinancing and the resulting change in the fair values amounting to Euros 23.8 million have reduced the financing cost. Based on the analysis of the quantitative and qualitative factors, the Group has concluded that the renegotiation of conditions of the senior debt does not trigger a derecognition of the liability. Therefore, the net amount of the financing cost has reduced the previous amount recognized and will form part of the amortised cost over the duration of the debt. Unamortised financing costs from the senior secured debt amount to Euros 199.4 million at 31 March 2014 (Euros 131 million at 31 December 2013).

GRIFOLS, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial statements
for the three-month period ended 31 March 2014
(13) Taxation
Income tax expense is recognised based on management’s best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period. The Group’s consolidated effective tax rate has decreased from 28.5% for the three-month period ended 31 March 2013 to 23% for the three-month period ended 31 March 2014 mainly due to a change of country mix of profits.
No material events have arisen regarding income tax audits of Group companies during the three-month period ended 31 March 2014.
(14) Discontinued operations
The Group does not consider any operations as discontinued for the three-month period ended March 2014.
(15) Contingencies
Catalan haemophiliacs
Instituto Grifols, S.A. was notified in 2007 of a claim for maximum damages of Euros 12,960 thousand filed by a group of 100 Catalan haemophiliacs against all plasma fractionation companies. During 2008 this claim was rejected, and the ruling appealed. Notification was published on 21 January 2011 that on 18 January 2011 the Barcelona Provincial Court had rejected the haemophiliacs’ claim. An appeal was subsequently filed by the counterparty in the Catalan High Court, which was rejected. The Group is currently awaiting the ruling on the appeal filed again by the group of haemophiliacs at the Spanish Supreme Court.
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)
The Group is carrying out an internal investigation, already started prior to the acquisition of Talecris, in relation to possible breaches of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) of which Talecris was aware in the context of a review unrelated to this matter. This FCPA investigation is being carried out by an external legal advisor. In principle, the investigation has been focused on sales to certain Central and Eastern European countries, specifically Belarus and Russia, although trading practices in Brazil, China, Georgia, Iran and Turkey are also being investigated, in addition to other countries considered necessary.
In July 2009, the Talecris Group voluntarily contacted the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to inform them of an internal investigation that the Group was carrying out regarding possible breaches of the FCPA in certain sales to certain central and East European countries and to offer the Group’s collaboration in any investigation that the DOJ wanted to carry out. As a result of this investigation the Group suspended shipments to some of these countries. In certain cases, the Group had safeguards in place which led to terminating collaboration with consultants and suspending or terminating relations with distributors in those countries under investigation as circumstances warranted.
As a consequence of the investigation, the agreement with Talecris’ Turkish distributor was terminated and a settlement agreement has been reached between the parties.
In November 2012, the Group was notified by the DOJ that the proceedings would be closed, without prejudice to the fact that they could be re-opened in the future should new information arise. The Group continues with the in-depth review of potential irregular practices.
Furthermore an investigation has been opened in Italy, in relation with the criminal prosecution in Naples against 5 employees of the Company, including the former General Manager. The Company and its legal advisors consider this investigation will be limited to the individual employees and the likelihood is remote this issue will affect the Company.
The legal advisors recommend limiting disclosure of the aforementioned information in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, because the matter is currently under legal dispute.

(a) Derivative financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss
Derivative financial instruments that do not meet the hedge accounting requirements are classified and measured as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
As a result of the refinancing process entered into on 27th February 2014 some of the existing derivatives have been cancelled. The new Credit Agreement conditions do not include any embedded floor within the existing tranches, so as a consequence of that, embedded derivatived included in Senior
GRIFOLS, S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial statements
for the three-month period ended 31 March 2014
Secured debt has been eliminated. The decrease in the value of the embedded derivatives amounted to US Dollars 27 million (Euros 19.6 million) and Euros 4.2 million at 27 February 2014, which has reduced the refinanced senior debt (see note 10).
As there are no existing floors in the new loan tranches, the Company has also sold the option floor derivatives contracts for a total amount of US Dollars 1.9 million each one.
(b) Cash flow hedge
In June 2011, the Group subscribed two derivatives in order to comply with the mandatory hedging according to the Credit Agreement, a step-up interest rate swap and a swap floor, which originally had a notional amount of US Dollars 1,550 million each. The amortizing step up interest rate swap has not been changed due to the improvement of the new Credit Agreement and the notional amount at the end of March 2014 is US Dollars 1,176 million. The existing Swap has quarterly amortizations, in order to be always below the amounts borrowed to avoid being over hedged. The interest rate swap complies with the criteria required for hedge accounting.
At the end of March 2014, the Company has two swap derivatives that complies for hedge accounting in place:
· A Step-Up Swap derivative to hedge the US Dollar libor interest rate with a notional amount US Dollar 1,176 million amortizing and;
· A Step-Up Swap derivative to hedge euribor interest rate with a fixed notional amount of Euros 100 million until maturity.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF GRIFOLS S.A. AND SUBSIDIARIES
You are encouraged to read the following discussion and analysis of Grifols’ financial condition and results of operations together with their three month period ended March 31 2014 condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related footnotes that have been subject to a SAS100 review by its certified independent accountants. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. See the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this document.
Business Overview
Grifols is a leading global specialty biopharmaceutical company that develops, manufactures and distributes a broad range of plasma derivative products and also specializes in providing infusion solutions, nutrition products, blood bags and diagnostic instrumentation and reagents for use in hospitals and clinics. Plasma derivatives are proteins found in human plasma, which once isolated and purified, have therapeutic value. Plasma derivative products are used to treat patients with hemophilia, immune deficiencies, infectious diseases and a range of other severe and often life threatening medical conditions. Grifols’ products and services are used by healthcare providers worldwide to diagnose and treat patients with hemophilia, immune deficiencies, infectious diseases and a range of other medical conditions.
Grifols plasma derivative products are manufactured at its plasma fractionation plant near Barcelona, Spain, which has a capacity of 4.2 million liters per year, and its plant in Los Angeles, California, United States which currently has a capacity of 2.3 million liters per year. In addition, Clayton, North Carolina site, acquired in the acquisition of Talecris, is one of the world’s largest integrated protein manufacturing sites including fractionation, purification and aseptic filling and finishing of plasma-derived proteins and has a capacity of close to 3 million liters per year.
Grifols organizes its business into four divisions: Bioscience, Hospital, Diagnostic and Raw Materials. Subsequent to its acquisition, Talecris’ operations have been incorporated into the existing Bioscience Division and the business of the transfusion diagnostic unit acquired to Novartis has been incorporated into the existing Diagnostic Division.
· Bioscience. The Bioscience division includes activities relating to the manufacture of plasma derivatives for therapeutic use, including the reception, analysis, quarantine, classification, fractionation and purification of plasma, and the sale and distribution of end products. The main types of plasma products manufactured by us are IVIG, Factor VIII, A1PI and albumin. We also manufacture intramuscular (hyperimmune) immunoglobulins, ATIII, Factor IX and plasma thromboplastin component, or PTC. Subsequent to the acquisition of Talecris, its operations were incorporated into our existing Bioscience division. This diversification of our Bioscience division, coupled with geographical expansion, has enabled us to adapt to the demands of patients and healthcare professionals and add value to our services. The Bioscience division, which accounts for a majority of the company’s total net sales, accounted for 601.0 million Euros, or 75.3%, and 604.8 million Euros, or 88.5 %, of Grifols’ total net sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 and the three month period ended March 31, 2013, respectively.
· Hospital. The Hospital division manufactures and, in certain instances installs and distributes, products that are used by and in hospitals, such as parenteral solutions and enteral and parenteral nutritional fluids, which are sold almost exclusively in Spain and Portugal, and which accounted for 24.3 million Euros, or 3.0%, and 27.2 million Euros, or 4.0%, of total net sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 and the three month period ended March 31, 2013, respectively.
· Diagnostic. The Diagnostic division focuses on researching, developing, manufacturing and marketing in vitro diagnostics products including analytical instruments and reagents for diagnostics, as well as blood bank products. It concentrates its business in two areas: Transfusion Medicine that groups immunohematology and blood bank (blood collection bags and other disposables) and In Vitro Diagnostic Systems that groups hemostasis and the clinical analysis lines. The Diagnostic division’s main customers are blood donation centers, clinical analysis laboratories and hospital immunohematology services. From January 2014 the division includes the transfusion diagnostic unit acquired to Novartis. The business acquired produces a complete line of products and systems to perform blood donor screening, molecular tests aimed at detecting the pathogenic agents of transfusion related infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and West Nile Virus. The Diagnostic division accounted for 146.6 million Euros,
or 18.4% (excluding 3.6 million Euros intersegment sales), and 32.6 million Euros, or 4.8%, of Grifols’ total net sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 and the three month period ended March 31, 2013, respectively. For more details on the business acquired see Note 3 of the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
· Raw Materials and Others. The Raw Materials division historically included the sale of intermediate pastes and plasma to third parties. From 2011 it primarily consists of revenues earned under the agreements with Kedrion, all royalties from third parties (Bioscience and Diagnostic) and revenues from engineering activities by our subsidiary Grifols Engineering S.A. It accounted for 26.2 million Euros, or 3.3%, and 19.2 million Euros, or 2.7%, of Grifols total net sales for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 and the three month period ended March 31, 2013, respectively.
Presentation of Financial Information
IFRS
Grifols Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31 2013 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the group for the year ended 31 December 2013 prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board ( IASB).
Factors Affecting the Comparability of Grifols Results of Operations
2014 figures include the transfusion diagnostic unit acquired to Novartis in January 2014. This should be taken into consideration when comparing the information to 2013 figures.
Factors Affecting Grifols’ Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Price Controls
Certain healthcare products, including plasma derivative products, are subject to price controls in many of the markets where they are sold, including Spain and other countries in the European Union. The existence of price controls over these products has adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our ability to maintain or increase our prices and gross margins.
As a result of the Talecris acquisition in 2011, we have significantly expanded our presence in the United States. The United States is the principal market in the world for plasma derivative products and prices for plasma derivative products are currently not regulated, with the exception of certain government healthcare programs.
Plasma Supply Constraints
Plasma is the key raw material used in the production of plasma-derived products. Our ability to continue to increase our revenue depends substantially on increased access to plasma. We obtain our plasma primarily from the United States through our plasma collection centers and, to a much lesser extent, through agreements with third parties.
A continued increase in demand for plasma products could lead to industry supply constraints. In response, we and certain of our competitors and independent suppliers could open a number of new plasma collection centers.
We have 150 FDA-licensed plasma collection centers located across the United States. We have expanded our plasma collection network through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions and the opening of new plasma collection centers. Our acquisitions of SeraCare (now renamed Biomat USA) in 2002; PlasmaCare, Inc. in 2006; eight plasma collection centers from a subsidiary of Baxter in 2006; four plasma collection centers from Bio-Medics, Inc. in 2007; and one plasma collection center from Amerihealth Plasma LLC in 2008 have given us reliable access to United States source plasma. Our acquisition of Talecris in June 2011 expanded our network by an additional 67 centers, and in 2012, we purchased three plasma collection centers in the United States from Cangene Corporation, a Canadian biopharmaceutical firm.
In 2013, our plasma collection centers collected approximately 6.4 million liters of plasma (including specialty plasma required for the production of hyperimmunes). We believe that our plasma requirements through 2016 will be met through: (i) plasma collected through our plasma collection centers and (ii)
approximately 0.6 liters of plasma per year to be purchased from third-party suppliers pursuant to various plasma purchase agreements.
Critical Accounting Policies under IFRS
The preparation of this condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34, requires us to make estimates and judgments in certain circumstances that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and the related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities.
We believe that certain of our accounting policies are critical because they require subjective and complex judgments, often requiring the use of estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. We apply estimation methodologies consistently from year to year. Other than changes required due to the issuance of new accounting guidance, there have been no significant changes in our application of critical accounting policies during the periods presented. We periodically review our critical accounting policies and estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board. The following is a summary of accounting policies that we consider critical to our condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Business combinations
We apply IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” (revised), Business combinations in transactions made subsequent to January 1, 2010, applying the acquisition method of this standard to business combinations. The acquisition date is the date on which we obtain control of the acquiree.
The consideration paid excludes all amounts that do not form part of the exchange for the acquired business. Acquisition related costs are accounted for as expenses when incurred. Share capital increase costs are recognized as equity when the increase takes place and borrowing costs are deducted from the related financial liability when it is recognized.
At the acquisition date, we recognize the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at fair value. Liabilities assumed include any contingent liabilities that represent present obligations arising from past events for which the fair value can be measured reliably. This criterion does not include non-current assets or disposable groups of assets which are classified as held for sale.
Assets and liabilities assumed are classified and designated for subsequent measurement in accordance with the contractual terms, economic conditions, operating or accounting policies and other factors that exist at the acquisition date, except for leases and insurance contracts.
The excess between the consideration transferred and the value of net assets acquired and liabilities assumed, less the value assigned to non-controlling interests, is recognized as goodwill.
When a business combination has been determined provisionally, adjustments to the provisional values only reflect information relating to events and circumstances existing at the acquisition date and which, had they been known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date. Once this period has elapsed, adjustments are made to initial values only when errors must be corrected. Any potential benefits arising from tax losses and other deferred tax assets of the acquiree that were not recorded because they did not qualify for recognition at the acquisition date are accounted for as income tax revenue, provided the adjustments were not made during the measurement period.
Property, plant and equipment
(i) Depreciation
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated by allocating the depreciable amount of an asset on a systematic basis over its useful life. The depreciable amount is the cost or deemed cost of an asset less its residual value. We determine the depreciation charge separately for each component of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the asset.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the following criteria:
|
|
Depreciation |
|
Rates |
|
Buildings |
|
Straight line |
|
1%-3% |
|
Other property, technical equipment and machinery |
|
Straight line |
|
10% |
|
Other property, plant and equipment |
|
Straight line |
|
7%-33% |
|
We review residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods at each financial year end. Changes to initially established criteria are accounted for as a change in accounting estimates.
(ii) Subsequent recognition
Subsequent to the initial recognition of the asset, only those costs incurred which will probably generate future profits and for which the amount may reliably be measured are capitalized. Costs of day-to-day servicing are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Replacements of property, plant and equipment which qualify for capitalization are recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the items replaced. Where the cost of the replaced items has not been depreciated independently and it is not possible to determine the respective carrying amount, the replacement cost is used as indicative of the cost of items at the time of acquisition or construction.
(iii) Impairment
We test for impairment and reversals of impairment losses on property, plant and equipment based on the criteria set out below in (d).
Intangible assets
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill is generated in the course of business combinations and is calculated using the criteria described in the section on business combinations.
Goodwill is not amortized, but tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events indicate a potential impairment loss. Goodwill acquired in business combinations is allocated to the cash generating units, which we refer to as CGUs, or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination, and we apply the criteria described in Note 6 of our consolidated interim financial statements included in this report. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
(ii) Internally generated intangible assets
Any research and development expenditure incurred during the research phase of projects is recognized as an expense when incurred.
Costs related with development activities are capitalized when:
· we have technical studies that demonstrate the feasibility of the production process;
· we have undertaken a commitment to complete production of the asset to make it available for sale or internal use;
· the asset will generate sufficient future economic benefits; and
· we have sufficient technical and financial resources to complete development of the asset and have developed budget control and cost accounting systems that enable monitoring of budgetary costs, modifications and the expenditures actually assigned to different projects.
The cost of internally generated assets is calculated using the same criteria established for determining production costs of inventories. The production cost is capitalized by allocating the costs attributable to the asset to self-constructed non-current assets through the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
Expenditures on activities that contribute to increasing the value of the different businesses in which we operate are expensed when incurred. Replacements or subsequent costs incurred on intangible assets are generally recognized as an expense, except where they increase the future economic benefits expected to be generated by the assets.
(iii) Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets are carried at cost, or at fair value if they arise on business combinations, less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but tested for impairment at least annually.
(iv) Intangible assets acquired in business combinations
The cost of identifiable intangible assets acquired in the business combination of Talecris includes the fair value of the currently marketed products sold and which are classified in “Other intangible assets”.
The cost of identifiable intangible assets acquired in the business combination of Araclón includes the fair value of research and development projects in progress.
The cost of identifiable intangible assets acquired in the business combination of Progenika includes the fair value of the currently marketed products sold, which are classified in “Other intangible assets” and “Development costs”.
(v) Useful life and amortization rates
We assess whether the useful life of each intangible asset acquired is finite or indefinite. An intangible asset is regarded as having an indefinite useful life when there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset will generate net cash inflows.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized by allocating the depreciable amount of an asset on a systematic basis over its useful life, by applying the following criteria:
|
|

Development expenses |

The depreciable amount is the cost or deemed cost of an asset less its residual value.
Impairment of goodwill, other intangible assets and other non-financial assets subject to depreciation or amortization
We evaluate whether there are indications of possible impairment losses on non-financial assets subject to amortization or depreciation to verify whether the carrying amount of these assets exceeds the recoverable amount.
We test goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, and intangible assets with finite useful lives that are not available for use for potential impairment at least annually, irrespective of whether there is any indication that the assets may be impaired.
The recoverable amount of the assets is the higher of their fair value less costs of disposal and their value in use. An asset’s value in use is calculated based on an estimate of the future cash flows expected to derive from the use of the asset, expectations about possible variations in the amount or timing of those future cash flows, the time value of money, the price for bearing the uncertainty inherent in the asset and other factors that market participants would reflect in pricing the future cash flows deriving from the asset.
Negative differences arising from comparison of the carrying amounts of the assets with their recoverable amounts are recognized in the consolidated income statement. Recoverable amount is determined for each individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. If this is the case, recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs.
Impairment losses recognized for cash generating units are first allocated, where applicable, to reduce the carrying amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the other assets of the CGU pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset. The carrying amount of each asset may not be reduced below the highest of (i) its fair value less costs of disposal, (ii) its value in use and (iii) zero.
At the end of each reporting period we assess whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods may no longer exist or may have decreased. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversible. Impairment losses on other assets are only reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to calculate the recoverable amount of the asset.
A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss. The increase in the carrying amount of an asset attributable to a reversal of an impairment loss may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized.
A reversal of an impairment loss for a CGU is allocated to its assets, except for goodwill, pro rata with the carrying amounts of those assets. The carrying amount of an asset may not be increased above the lower of its recoverable value and the carrying amount that would have been obtained, net of amortization or depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
The costs of conversion of inventories include costs directly related to the units of production and a systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads that are incurred in converting materials into finished goods. The allocation of fixed indirect overheads is based on the higher of normal production capacity or actual production.
The raw material used to produce hemoderivatives is human plasma, which is obtained from our donation centers using the plasmapheresis method. The cost of inventories includes the amount paid to plasma donors, or the amount billed by the seller when plasma is purchased from third parties, as well as the cost of products and devices used in the collection process, rental expenses and storage. This plasma has to be stored before use, which is an essential part of the production process. During the storage period, the plasma undergoes various virological tests and should be kept in quarantine in accordance with FDA and EMA regulations, in order to guarantee that all the plasma is suitable for use in the production process.
To the extent that plasma storage costs are necessary to the production process, they are included as cost of inventories.
Indirect costs such as general management and administration costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
The cost of raw materials and other supplies and the cost of merchandise are allocated to each inventory unit on a weighted average cost basis. The transformation cost is allocated to each inventory unit on a first in, first out basis.
We use the same cost model for all inventories of the same nature and with a similar use.
Volume discounts extended by suppliers are recognized as a reduction in the cost of inventories when it is probable that the conditions for discounts to be received will be met. Discounts for prompt payment are recognized as a reduction in the cost of the inventories acquired.
When the cost of inventories exceeds the net realizable value, materials are written down to net realizable value. Net realizable value is considered as detailed below.
· Raw materials and other supplies: replacement cost. Nevertheless, raw materials and other supplies are not written down below cost if the finished goods into which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost of production.
· Merchandise and finished goods: estimated selling price, less costs to sell.
· Work in progress: the estimated selling price of related finished goods, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
The previously recognized write-down is reversed against profit or loss when the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realizable value because of changed economic circumstances. The reversal of the write-down
is limited to the lower of the cost and revised net realizable value of the inventories. Write-downs may be reversed with a credit to “Changes in inventories of finished goods and work in progress and supplies”.
Revenue recognition
Revenue from the sale of goods or services is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is presented net of VAT and any other amounts or taxes which are effectively collected on behalf of third parties. Volume or other types of discounts for prompt payment are recognized as a reduction in revenue if considered probable at the time of revenue recognition.
We recognize revenue from the sale of goods when:
· we have transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
· we retain neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
· the amount of revenue and the costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably;
· it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to us; and
· the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
We participate in government-managed Medicaid programs in the United States, accounting for Medicaid rebates by recognizing an accrual at the time a sale is recorded for an amount equal to the estimated claims for Medicaid rebates attributable to the sale. Medicaid rebates are estimated based on historical experience, legal interpretations of the applicable laws relating to the Medicaid program and any new information regarding changes in the program regulations and guidelines that would affect rebate amounts. Outstanding Medicaid claims, Medicaid payments and inventory levels are analyzed for each distribution channel and the accrual is adjusted periodically to reflect actual experience. While rebate payments are generally made in the following or subsequent quarter, any adjustments for actual experience have not been material.
As is common practice in the sector, the purchase contracts we have signed with some of our customers entitle these customers to price discounts for a minimum purchase volume, volume discounts or prompt payment discounts. We recognize these discounts as a reduction in sales and receivables in the same month that the corresponding sales are invoiced based on the customer’s actual purchase figures or on past experience when the customer’s actual purchases will not be known until a later date.
In the United States, we enter into agreements with certain customers to establish contract pricing for our products, which these entities purchase from the authorized wholesaler or distributor (collectively, wholesalers) of their choice. Consequently, when the products are purchased from wholesalers by these entities at the contract price which is less than the price we charge to the wholesaler, we provide the wholesaler with a credit referred to as a chargeback. We record the chargeback accrual at the time of the sale.
The allowance for chargebacks is based on our estimate of the wholesaler inventory levels, and the expected sell through of the products by the wholesalers at the contract price based on historical chargeback experience and other factors. We periodically monitor the factors that influence the provision for chargebacks and make adjustments when we believe that actual chargebacks may differ from established allowances. These adjustments occur in a relatively short period of time. As these chargebacks are typically settled within 30 to 45 days of the sale, adjustments for actual experience have not been material.
Leases
(vi) Lessee accounting records
We have rights to use certain assets through lease contracts. Leases in which we assume substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership are classified as finance leases, and all other leases are classified as operating leases.
· Finance leases: We recognize finance leases as assets and liabilities at the commencement of the lease term, at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments.
· Initial direct costs are added to the asset’s carrying amount. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability.
· The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent rents are recognized as expenses in the years in which they are incurred.
· Operating leases: We recognize lease payments under an operating lease, excluding incentives, as expenses on a straight-line basis unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee’s benefit.
(vii) Sale-leaseback transactions
Any profit on sale leaseback transactions that meet the conditions of a finance lease is deferred over the term of the lease.
When the leaseback is classified as an operating lease:
· If the transaction is at fair value, any profit or loss on the sale is recognized immediately in consolidated statement of profit or loss for the year; or
· If the sale price is below fair value, any profit or loss is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
However, if the loss is compensated for by future below market lease payments, it is deferred in proportion to the lease payments over the period for which the asset is to be used.
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2014 Compared to Three months ended March 31, 2013
1. PROFIT AND LOSS: MAIN INDICATORS DURING THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2014
SALES PERFORMANCE
· REVENUES OF APPROXIMATELY 800 MILLION EUROS TO MARCH 2014 AND CHANGES IN THE RELATIVE WEIGHTS OF THE DIVISIONS
Grifols’ revenues rose by 16.7% during the first quarter of the year to 798.0 million Euros, including Novartis’ transfusion diagnostic business, acquired in January 2014. At constant exchange rate (cc), income rose by 20.2%, with the geographical diversification of sales helping to mitigate exchange rate effects.
The results to March reflect the anticipated changes to the relative weight of each division as a share of total group income, as a result of the integration of the transfusion diagnostic business acquired. The sales of the Bioscience division totaled 601.0 million Euros, 75.3% of Grifols’ revenue. Sales volumes of IVIG and alpha-1 antitrypsin, two of the company’s main plasma proteins, performed strongly in a context of price stability.
The Hospital division recorded sales of 24.3 million Euros, a figure that represents 3.0% of revenues. During the quarter, the division continued to internationalize, with Hospital Logistics projects in Chile and Argentina, and Intravenous Therapy projects in the United States. However, sales continued to be heavily concentrated in Spain, and the restrictions on hospital expenditure had a significant impact on sales, which fell by 7.3% (cc).
The Diagnostic division increased its share of revenues to 18.4%, as forecast. The sales of this business area were 146.5 million Euros (excluding 3.6 million euros of intersegment sales). The company has become a global leader in transfusion medicine, manufacturing both instruments and reagents for immunohematology and hemostasis. Successes have included the implementation of immunohematology analyzers (Wadiana® and Erytra®) and the increase in unit sales of blood typing cards (DG-Gel®) in countries such as France, United Kingdom, Russia, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Another key achievement during the quarter was the contract to supply the Japanese Red Cross with NAT technology (Procleix® Panther® System) to analyze blood donations in Japan.
Grifols’ non-recurring sales, included within the Raw Materials & Others division, rose to 26.2 million Euros, representing 3.3% of sales. These include, among others, all royalties (Bioscience and Diagnostic), income from manufacturing agreements with Kedrion, and third-party engineering projects performed by Grifols Engineering.

· APPROXIMATELY 93% OF INCOME GENERATED IN INTERNATIONAL MARKETS
Grifols continues to drive sales in international markets. The purchase of Novartis’ transfusion diagnostic unit, completed on January 2014 has helped to drive sales of the Diagnostic division in the United States. These sales have not been allocated to a specific region as work is still being done towards an accurate classification.
Excluding sales generated by this new business unit, income in the United States and Canada continued to rise. Sales rose by 6.4% (cc) in comparable terms, to 419.7 million Euros, although the new conditions of some contracts in Canada continue to impact the results.
In the European Union, sales decrease slowed to 2.8% (cc), with sales revenue standing at 139.2 million Euros. Sales of plasma proteins performed strongly in the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal), while sales of products and services related to the Diagnostic and Hospital divisions decelerated. Since January 2014 revenues included in “Others” (Raw Materials & Others) are not split by geography. 2013 numbers have been amended for comparison purposes.
ROW (Rest of World) sales fell by 6.1% (cc) as a result of the timing of tenders and conclusion of some contracts. Demand for plasma proteins such as albumin continued to rise in regions such as Latin America.
The strategy of achieving long term growth through international markets continued during the first quarter of 2014, with the start of activities in new regions such as the Middle East. In this regard, it is worth noting that Grifols attended the Arab Health Congress in Dubai for the first time. The importance of this event derives both from the potential of the United Arab Emirates market, and the fact that it is at the center of a large zone of influence. In the six countries that form the Gulf Cooperation Council alone (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates) there are 15 hospital projects in progress.

MARGINS AND PROFITS
· EXCELLENT EVOLUTION OF THE EBITDA MARGIN: 200 BPS INCREASE TO 33.9% OF REVENUES
Grifols operating margins have continued to improve. The EBITDA margin rose by 200 bps to 33.9% of revenues, compared to 31.9% for the same period of 2013. In absolute terms, EBITDA was 270.2 million Euros, with growth of 23.7%.
Grifols’ adjusted EBITDA(1) rose by 21.6% to 279.9 million euros, representing an EBITDA to revenues margin of 35.1%.
This positive performance confirms the group’s improved productivity, primarily focused on the optimization of raw materials and its cost and in the greater flexibility of manufacturing processes in the Bioscience division. The aim is to maximize the utilization of each liter of plasma, and profitability as a result. This will enable balanced market share growth of each plasma protein, ensuring industrial efficiency. In addition, the new sales mix by division, and the greater weight of the Diagnostic division have been positive developments during the quarter, and their effects will continue during the rest of the year. The policy of containing operating costs related to central services continues.
· NET PROFIT RISES BY 32.9% TO 121.0 MILLION EUROS
Grifols’ net profit rose by 32.9% to 121.0 million Euros, a figure that represents 15.2% of the group’s revenues, compared to 13.3% for the same period of 2013.Net adjusted profit(2), which excludes non recurrent costs and associated with recent acquisitions, amortization of the deferred financial costs associated with the refinancing and the amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisitions, was 147.0 million Euros.
During the quarter, the company maintained its financial results that included the financial cost of the 1,500 million Dollar bridge loan to finance the acquisition of the transfusion diagnostic unit of Novartis. The financial result was 66.9 million Euros, including the amortization of the deferred costs and those related to the cancelation of bonds and debt as part of the group’s refinancing process. This process, completed in March, has enabled Grifols to reduce its funding costs and extend its maturity profile, improvements that will have an impact in the coming quarters. The decrease of effective tax rate is mainly due to a change of country mix of profits.

BALANCE SHEET: KEY INDICATORS AS OF MARCH 2014
Total consolidated assets at March 2014 were 7,192.4million Euros, a significant increase compared to the figure of 5,841.0 million Euros reported in December 2013. The differences primarily reflect the acquisition of the assets of the Novartis’ transfusion diagnostic unit.
In particular, there has been a net increase in tangible fixed assets of more than 100 million Euros, that include a plant in Emeryville (California, United States) acquired to Novartis. Intangible fixed assets have also increased as a result of an estimated 930.2 million Euros of goodwill following the acquisition. This amount is still provisional since the Group did not have all the necessary information at quarter end to determine de definitive fair value of intangible assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired in the business combination.
During the first three months of 2014, the group’s cash position stood at 684.6 million Euros. Operating cash flow generation remains strong with the group generating 124.9million Euros, compared to 92.4 million Euros obtained during the same period of 2013.
Changes to working capital are related to business growth and the incorporation of the new business unit.
NET FINANCIAL DEBT INCREASES, BUT AVERAGE COST FALLS BY MORE THAN 200 BPS TO BELOW 3.5%
Grifols’ net financial debt at the end of the first quarter of 2014 stood at 3,180.3 million Euros, including an additional 1,500 million Dollars corresponding to the acquisition of Novartis’ transfusion diagnostic unit. This represents a leverage ratio of 2.83 times to adjusted EBITDA(1), higher than the ratio of 2.28 reported in December 2013.
Strong cash generation and debt reduction have enabled the company to successfully refinance its entire debt for a value of 5,500 million Dollars (4,075 million Euros).
Following the completion of this process in March 2014, the average cost of Grifols’ debt has fallen by over 200 bps to below 3.5%, and the average maturity term has been extended to 7 years. Both factors will enable the company to stabilize its financial costs despite an increase in absolute debt levels.
Debt reduction remains a priority for the company, whose high and sustainable levels of operating activity and cash generation mean that it is able to meet this objective. Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s have maintained Grifols’ corporate rating at levels prior to the acquisition.
See Note 10 of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this report for details of the new debt structure and conditions following the refinancing.
NET EQUITY
The net equity of Grifols to March 2014 rose to 2,224.4 million Euros, primarily as a result of profits earned during the period, as there were no significant changes compared to December 2013.
At March 2014, Grifols’ share capital stood at 119.6 million Euros, represented by 213,064,899 ordinary shares (Class A) with a nominal value of 0.50 euros per share, and 130,712,555 non-voting shares (Class B) each with a nominal value of 0.10 Euros.
2. INVESTMENT AREAS: CAPEX, ACQUISITIONS, R&D
The first quarter of 2014 was characterized by solid results, positive cash flow figures, and the optimization and control of financial resources, all of which have provide the company with the resources required for its planned investments and for new investments in the future.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE (CAPEX)
During the first three months of the year, Grifols has invested 45.7 million Euros of cash in expanding and improving its manufacturing facilities, and in maintaining the facilities of its investees. In addition, the company plans to allocate approximately 600 million Euros to capital expenditure between 2014 and 2016. This amount includes additional resources designed to strengthen the Diagnostic division following the recent acquisition of Novartis’ transfusion diagnostic unit.
· NEW PLASMA FRACTIONATION PLANT OPENED IN SPAIN
The first quarter of 2014 saw the opening of the new plasma fractionation plant at Parets del Vallès (Barcelona, Spain), a development that doubles Grifols’ plasma fractionation capacity in Spain, to 4.2 million liters/year. The company has invested over 20 million Euros in this project, which will gradually generate almost 100 jobs, including both direct and indirect employment. The new plant occupies 4,500 m2, and includes 20 high-tech reactors and a high level of automation.
The plant already holds a European Medicines Agency (EMA) license and expects to obtain authorization from the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) before the end of the year.
Grifols has two other fractionation plants in the United States, with a combined fractionation capacity of over 5 million liters/year. Future plans provide for this to rise to over 12 million liters by 2016, following approval of the new plasma fractionation plant in Clayton (North Carolina, United States).
· OPENING OF NEW HEADQUARTERS OF ARACLON BIOTECH
Major capital expenditure (CAPEX) in companies in which Grifols has a majority holding include the project that brings all of Araclon Biotech’s research activity under a single roof at its corporate headquarters in Zaragoza (Spain).
Araclon is an R&D company specializing in immunotherapy and diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and other degenerative diseases, and its research projects are part of Grifols’ global Alzheimer’s research strategy focusing on three key fields: early diagnosis, prevention through the development of a vaccine, and new treatments to slow down the disease’s progress.
The new facilities occupy a 1,500 m2 site, housing a laboratory that is one of the most advanced in Europe, equipped with the very latest technology and employing almost thirty members of staff, 80% of whom are researchers. Grifols is the majority shareholder in Araclon, with 61% of its equity.
ACQUISITIONS: COMPLETION OF THE PURCHASE OF NOVARTIS DIAGNOSTIC UNIT
The acquisition of the transfusion diagnostic and immunology unit from Swiss company Novartis was completed on January 9, 2014 for a total of 1,653 million Dollars (1,215 million Euros). The operation was implemented through a newly created 100% Grifols-owned subsidiary.
The operation is part of Grifols’ growth strategy of complementing and growing its range of diagnostic products and services.
Grifols has expanded its portfolio by including Novartis’ diagnostic and transfusion medicine products, including its NAT technology (Nucleic Acid Amplification Techniques), test analysis instrumentation and equipment, specific software and reagents. The assets acquired include patents, brands, licenses and royalties, together with the production plant at Emeryville (California, United States) and commercial offices in the United States, Switzerland and Hong Kong (for the Asia-Pacific region) among others. The move has also added approximately 550 members of staff to Grifols’ workforce, with the incorporation of Novartis’ employees.
R&D: IN-HOUSE AND THROUGH INVESTEES
Grifols’ continuing commitment to research is based on financial solvency and liquidity. From January to March 2014, Grifols allocated a total of 37.9 million Euros to R&D, an increase of 29.3% compared to the same period of 2013, representing 4.7% of revenues. Priority objectives for the company during 2014 include the acceleration of research projects exploring new uses for albumin, and further therapeutic applications of this and other plasma proteins.
Grifols also promotes research activity through additional investment in R&D in its investees. An example of this is the start of phase 1 of the clinical trial of the vaccine against Alzheimer’s disease that Grifols is developing through Araclon. This phase, which started in January 2014 with 24 participants and will evaluate tolerability and safety in humans but not effectiveness, is a significant milestone for the project.
Grifols also supports and promotes other initiatives that are aligned with or complementary to its own activity areas, where these contribute to scientific progress and social well-being. An example is the Fundació ACE’s new center for the treatment and research of Alzheimer’s disease: the Barcelona Alzheimer Treatment & Research Center.
Grifols’ partnership with Fundació ACE reflects the company’s interest in promoting research into Alzheimer’s disease. The center will be an independent body that facilitates the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases, and promotes biomedical research into these conditions. The first research project it is hosting is Grifols’ AMBAR study (Alzheimer Management by Albumin Replacement). As an independent center, its facilities are also open to other research groups. The center has been designed in accordance with the Fundació ACE’s guidelines for excellence, which satisfy the requirements of the National Alzheimer’s Project in the United States.
3. ANALYSIS BY DIVISION
The acquisition of Novartis’ transfusion diagnostic unit in January 2014 has changed the relative weight of the different business divisions of Grifols, and confirms the company’s leadership in transfusion medicine.
BIOSCIENCE DIVISION: 75.3 % OF REVENUES
· SALES VOLUMES OF IVIG AND ALPHA 1-ANTITRYPSIN ON THE RISE
Grifols’ Bioscience division accounts for 75.3% of its business. Sales to March 2014 rose by 2.4% (cc) to 601.0 million Euros. Sales volumes of IVIG and alpha-1 antitrypsin performed strongly.
· GRIFOLS PROMOTES DIAGNOSIS OF ALPHA-1 ANTITRYPSIN DEFICIENCY, AN UNDERDIAGNOSED DISEASE WITH SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO COPD
One of the company’s objectives is to promote the diagnosis of alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), a rare disease whose most frequent symptoms in adults overlap with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and which, if not treated, can lead to pulmonary emphysema. Grifols has developed a unique, innovative system, AlphaKit® QuickScreen, that takes only a few minutes and some drops of blood to detect whether an individual is a carrier of the Z mutation, responsible for over 95% of severe cases of this disease. It will be released for distribution in several EU countries in the near future as it obtained the CE marking after the end of the quarter, and it is expected to go on sale in the United States after.
· GRIFOLS WILL DONATE UP TO 60 MILLION UNITS OF CLOTTING FACTORS TO THE WORLD FEDERATION OF HEMOPHILIA IN THREE YEARS
Grifols will donate up to 20 million units of clotting factors to the World Federation of Hemophilia in the next three years. This major donation, announced to mark World Hemophilia Day, will ensure an average of 40,000 doses until 2017 to treat approximately 10,000 patients in developing countries in which access to these treatments is non-existent or insufficient.
DIAGNOSTIC DIVISION: 18.4% OF REVENUES
· GRIFOLS TO SUPPLY NAT TECHNOLOGY TO THE JAPANESE RED CROSS TO ANALYZE BLOOD DONATIONS IN JAPAN
Procleix® Panther® System is the cutting edge automated system that the Japanese Red Cross will use to analyze 5.3 million blood donations per year, and to screen them for HIV and hepatitis viruses with nucleic acid amplification test (NAT) techniques before the blood can be used for transfusions or other medical uses. The contract, which will run for 7 years, is worth 375 million Dollars (274 million Euros) at current exchange rate in products and services for Grifols.
· LAUNCH OF NEXT GENERATION BLOODCHIP® PRODUCTS
Grifols has presented the next generation of its BLOODchip® product range in Barcelona. This represents a further improvement to the company’s transfusion medicine offering, and will contribute to Grifols’ ambition of leading the expansion of the blood genotyping segment. BLOODchip® technology means that patients’ and donors’ blood groups can be determined through DNA analysis, while the latest innovations improve and simplify the analysis procedure, delivering simpler, faster results. It also incorporates the identification of key blood groups, primarily in patients suffering from anemia.
· ERYTRA® AUTOANALYZER OBTAINS FDA APPROVAL
Internationalization of the immunohematology area is one of the keys to the division’s growth. Significant developments this quarter include sales of Erytra® and Wadiana® analyzers, and increased volumes of blood typing cards using DG-Gel® gel agglutination technology. Following approval from the FDA, Erytra® has become the first high-processing capacity instrument available on the US market for the performance of transfusional compatibility tests. The launch of Erytra® in the United States is scheduled for July.
HOSPITAL DIVISION: 3.0% OF INCOME
· FURTHER INTERNATIONALIZATION TO OFFSET RESTRICTIONS ON HEALTHCARE SPENDING IN SPAIN
The Hospital division generates most of its sales in Spain and therefore continues to be the division most directly affected by the measures to rationalize healthcare spending implemented by the Spanish government. Income has maintained its downward trend to 24.3 million euros, although the division has continued to internationalize its activity base.
Significant developments have included two hospital logistics projects in Chile, consolidating the company’s position as one of the leading suppliers of products and services for hospital pharmacy in Latin America. The company has also automated the pharmacy service in one of Argentina’s most important private clinics in Buenos Aires (Argentina), with the installation of four Kardex® carousels, and has installed Misterium®-Modular Clean Rooms for the preparation of intravenous solutions under sterile conditions in several centers in the United States.
4. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
USES AND SOURCES OF FUNDS
Our principal liquidity and capital requirements consist of the following:
· costs and expenses relating to the operation of our business, including working capital for inventory purchases and
· accounts receivable financing;
· capital expenditures for existing and new operations; and
· debt service requirements relating to our existing and future debt.
Historically, we have financed our liquidity and capital requirements through internally generated cash flows mainly attributable to revenues; debt financings; and capital injections. At March 31, 2014, our cash and cash equivalents totaled €684.6 million and US dollars 300 million undrawn as of the date of this report, available under our debt agreements. We expect our cash flows from operations combined with our cash balances and availability under our Committed Revolving Credit Facility, and other bank debt to provide sufficient liquidity to fund our current obligations, projected working capital requirements, and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. Currently, we do not generate significant cash in any country that might have restrictions for funds repatriation, and we estimate that the existing cash located in the U.S. and Spain, along with the cash generated from operations, will be sufficient to meet future cash needs in key countries.
HISTORICAL CASH
During the three month period ended 31 March 2014 the Group used net cash flow of 24 million Euros. The variation in net cash flow reflects mainly:
· Net cash from operating activities amount to Euros 124.9 million. The Euros 269.7 million of cash flow generated by Grifols´ operations was offset in part by the Euros 87.8 million of cash used for working capital requirements and Euros 57.1 million of cash used for interest payment and tax collections.
· Net cash used in investing activities amount to Euros 1,263.1 million. This result includes the cost of the Novartis’ Diagnostic Unit acquisition by a total of Euros 1,211 million.
· Net cash from financing activities amount to Euros 1,114 million. The variance in this result reflects the increase in debt as a consequence of Novartis’ Diagnostic Unit acquisition.
See the cash flow statement included as part of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for a more detailed breakdown of movements.
INDEBTEDNESS
On 17 March 2014 the Group has concluded the refinancing process of its debt. The total debt refinanced amounts to 5,500 million Dollars (4,075 million Euros) and represents the company’s entire debt, including
the 1,500 million Dollars bridge loan obtained for the acquisition of Novartis’ transfusion diagnostic unit. Following the refinancing process, Grifols’ debt structure consists of a 4,500 million Dollars long-term loan with institutional investors and banks segmented in two tranches (Term Loan A and Term Loan B), and a 1,000 million Dollars bond issuance (senior unsecured notes).
Based on the analysis of the quantitative and qualitative factors, the Group has concluded that the renegotiation of conditions of the Senior Unsecured Notes and Senior Secured Debt does not trigger a derecognition of the liability.
· SENIOR UNSECURED NOTES
On 5 March 2014, Grifols Worldwide Operations Limited, 100% subsidiary of Grifols, has issued 1,000 million Dollars Senior Unsecured Notes (the “Notes”) that will mature on 2022 and will bear an annual interest at 5.25%. These notes replaced the Senior Unsecured Notes issued in 2011 amounting to 1,100 million Dollars, with a maturity in 2018 and an interest of 8.25%.
The costs of refinancing Senior Unsecured Notes have amounted to 65 million Euros, including the costs of cancelling the Senior Unsecured Notes issued in 2011. These costs were included as transaction costs together with other costs deriving from the debt issue and will be taken to profit or loss in accordance with the effective interest rate. Unamortised financing costs from the senior secured debt amount to 139.3 million Euros at 31 March 2014 (80 million Euros at 31 December 2013).
· SENIOR SECURED DEBT
On 17 March 2014 the Group refinanced its Senior Secured Debt. The new senior debt consist of a Term Loan A (“TLA”), which amounts to 700 million Dollars with a 2.50% margin over LIBOR and maturity in 2020, a Term Loan B (“TLB”) that amounts to 3,800 million Dollars (3.250 billion Dollars and 400 million Euros equivalent) with a 3.00% over LIBOR (Euribor) margin and maturity in 2021 and up to 300 million Dollars committed revolving facility undrawn as at the date of this report. The embedded floor included in the former senior debt, has been terminated. Grifols Worldwide Operations Limited is the sole borrower of this new financing.
The costs of refinancing the senior debt have amounted to 104.8 million Euros. The termination of the embedded derivatives of the senior debt has formed part of the refinancing and the resulting change in the fair values amounting to 23.8 million Euros have reduced the financing cost. Therefore, the net amount of the financing cost has reduced the previous amount recognized and will form part of the amortised cost over the duration of the debt. Unamortised financing costs from the senior secured debt amount to 199.4 million Euros at 31 March 2014 (131 million Euros at 31 December 2013).

(2) Adjusted Net Profit excludes non-recurring costs and associated with recent acquisitions, amortization of deferred expenses associated to the refinancing, and amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions.
