GRIFOLS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS 2012 Adjusted2 EBITDA increases by 41.3%1 reaching 213.1 million euros. EBITDA Margin increases over 500 bps reaching 32% of sales Group sales increase 17.7%1 reaching 666.7 million euros in the first quarter of 2012 80% of Grifols’ industrial activity is carried outside Spain Grifols duplicates its net profit reaching 67.5 million euros, during the first quarter 1. PROFIT AND LOSS: MAIN INDICATORS DURING THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2012 SALES TRENDS Grifols’ sales revenue has increased 17.7%1 in the first quarter of 2012, reaching 666.7 million euros as of March, in comparison to the 566.5 million euros that would have been achieved taking into consideration the combined pro-forma income of Grifols and Talecris1 during the same period in 2011. On a reported3 basis, excluding, for comparison, Talecris sales from January to March 2011 as Talecris was acquired in June 2011, there was a 155.0% increase. An increase in sales volume has been seen across all divisions and continues to be the primary driver of growth although, in general terms, prices have stabilised. The negative impact of the exchange rate (especially the euro-dollar) seen in previous quarters, has been offset and has not affected reported growth in comparable terms. In addition, results from January to March 2012 confirm the anticipated changes to the relative weight of each business area as a proportion of total group income. The Bioscience Division, which accounts for 88.1% of Grifols sales revenue, totalled 587.2 million euros, an increase of 16.4% in pro-forma1 results and 187.5% in reported results3. Continued growth is seen in the sales volume of the main hemoderivatives and Grifols consolidates its leadership in intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and alpha1-antitrypsin, used for treating pulmonary emphysema, with double digit growth. Sales of the Diagnostic Division increased 16.1% to 34.7 million euros, and sales in the Hospital Division hit 27.0 million euros, 12.4% up on sales in the same period of the previous year. Changes in the geographic distribution of income have also been confirmed in the quarter. Furthermore, growth continues in all areas where the company operates through company subsidiaries located in 24 countries or through distribution agreements. In fact, from January to March 2012 more than 90% of Grifols business took place outside of Spain, with North America accounting for 62.5% of the group’s total income, Europe 22.7%, and other geographic areas 13.6%. Latin America already generates 5% of group business. Globally, Grifols’ sales in international markets exceeded 600 million euros, representing 21% growth on a pro-forma basis1 and over 200% growth in reported terms3. Strong momentum in the United States and Canada where sales revenue was 416.8 million euros, with an increase of 23.1% in pro-forma results1 and 372.3% in reported results3 when compared to 2011. In this respect, the new combined commercial FIRST QUARTER 2012 REPORT 4

GRIFOLS structure (including marketing and sales) put into place after the second quarter of 2011 has consolidated, allowing Grifols to offer a wider portfolio of hemoderivative products, integrated and completely adapted to the different needs of the healthcare professionals who operate in this market. Moreover, marketing for other products and services specifically related to the diagnostic field (Diagnostic Division) and hospital logistics (Hospital Division) has started, contributing to the market penetration in this geographic area. In fact, from January to March 2012 projects have continued to be developed in order to implement Misterium® Clean Rooms and the Gri-fill® system in the North American market. Alongside this, the gradual introduction and marketing of the complete line of Oncotools®/ Oncopharm® and Phocus Rx™ products is being contemplated in the short term. Sales in Europe reached 151.4 million euros. Excluding Spain, where adjustments to healthcare are taking place as part of the measures adopted to control the public deficit, sales revenue reached levels similar to those in the first quarter of 2011. However, sales in Spain have decreased around 5% on a pro-forma1 basis to 61.9 million euros and its contribution has dropped, currently representing 9% of Grifols total income. Furthermore, recurring income in other geographic areas continues to rise. As of March 2012, sales revenue totalled 90.8 million euros, representing a 26% increase in pro-forma results1 and 60.9% on a reported basis3.

GRIFOLS MARGINS AND PROFITS In the first quarter of 2012, Grifols’ adjusted EBITDA2 increased 41.3%1, reaching 213.1 million euros and representing 32.0% of sales. On a reported basis3, which for comparison purposes exclude the results of Talecris from January to March 2011, growth was 209.9%. Taking into account the costs associated with the acquisition of Talecris and other non-recurring costs, gross operating results (EBITDA) totalled 202.6 million euros from January to March 2012 with an EBITDA margin of 30.4% to sales. The EBITDA from the quarter benefited from continuing a cost control and reduction policy on operating expenses, and from the notable improvement in gross margins, positively affected by a moderate impact of prices, and the optimization of raw materials and manufacturing costs. In this respect, inventory reduction in the face of greater global needs for plasma in order to produce hemoderivatives and the manufacturing and marketing of more products per litre of plasma processed are two of the projected operating synergies directly linked to the streamlining of raw materials. The group continues to work on the optimization of processes to achieve the synergies related to production efficiency for both fractionation and purification of proteins and this has started to impact on results. Finally, net adjusted profit2 amounted to 79.2 million euros as of March 2012, representing 11.9% of sales. This means a 117.3% growth in reported results3. Taking into consideration the integration costs associated with the acquisition of Talecris, net profit totalled 67.5 million euros, equivalent to 10.1% of sales. Net profit for this quarter has not benefit from the improved financing conditions negotiated at the beginning of 2012. The impact of this will translate in a reduction in finance expenses from the second quarter of the year. Grifols estimates that it could see annual savings of approximately 55 million dollars since, among other things, this renegotiation has led to lower interest rates and a change to the tranches of the credit agreement signed with the different institutions involved in the financing for the acquisition of Talecris.

GRIFOLS 2. BALANCE SHEET AS OF MARCH 2012 REDUCTION IN INVENTORY LEVELS Total assets as at March 2012 drop to 5,543.0 million euros, as opposed to the 5,807.7 million euros reported in December 2011. These differences are due to, amongst others, the effect of foreign exchange translation in the balance sheet. The reduction in inventories continues as expected. This trend that started during the third quarter of 2011 has been confirmed in the first three months of 2012. Since December 2011, inventory levels have been reduced by over 34 million euros and stock turnover stands at approximately 290 days. Cash flow improvements seen during the previous quarters have allowed Grifols to ensure the planned debt reduction of 240 million dollars, leading to a decline in the group’s net cash position in the first quarter of the year. CAPITAL INVESTMENT During the first quarter of 2012 Grifols maintained its investment plan (CAPEX) to progressively expand its production facilities in Spain and the United States allocating in the region of 40 million euros up to March 2012. The investments related to the construction of the new facility for plasma fractionation in Parets del Vallés (Barcelona – Spain) and those aimed at increasing plasma fractionation capacity at the Clayton facilities (North Carolina, USA) continue at a good pace. Furthermore, Grifols has finalized the construction of Phase IV of the production facilities located in Las Torres de Cotillas (Murcia – Spain). With this, the integration of the production at this new manufacturing facility is considered complete, allowing for an increase in capacity and automation to produce intravenous saline solutions in flexible containers destined to supply the Spanish healthcare network. The Spanish Ministry of Health has recently inspected and approved the new plant. FIRM COMMITMENT TO R&D DURING THE QUARTER Grifols’ commitment to investigation remains firm in this quarters’ results with R&D expenditure growth over 4.3%1 compared to the same quarter in 2011, totalling 28.3 million euros, that represents approximately 4.2% of sales. With regard to new projects, It is worth noting Grifols’ commitment to finding solutions to Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and in this context, the acquisition of 51% of the Aragonese company Araclon Biotech, dedicated to the research and development of therapies and diagnostic methods for neuro-degenerative diseases. Grifols’ investment in Araclon Biotech is in line with the group interest in boosting its commitment to R&D, driving several complementary research that may lead to treatments for Alzheimer’s patients. In this respect, the work at Araclon Biotech has been positive to date, both with regard to the development of a useful and effective test that contributes to early diagnosis and to a vaccine for its treatment. Grifols has started a new medical study for the treatment of Alzheimer’s with plasma derivatives, with approximately 400 patients from Spain and the United States taking part. This trial, complementary to two previous studies by the group, involves the combined treatment of plasmapheresis with the administration of albumin and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), two of the main plasma derivatives, in different regimens and doses. Furthermore, the group is continuing its R&D projects for the use of plasmin in cases of acute peripheral arterial occlusion and the ongoing studies for the use of Fibrin Sealant biological glue in various types of surgery, amongst other projects.

GRIFOLS GRIFOLS’ NEW FINANCIAL STRUCTURE: COVENANT IMPROVEMENTS During the first quarter of 2012 Grifols has successfully concluded negotiations on the modification and improvement of the terms and conditions of the credit agreement signed to finance the acquisition of Talecris. These include: • A reduction of interest rates and a retranching. • Only two financial covenants in place, relating to leverage ratio and interest coverage, and elimination of covenants relating to limitations in fixed assets investment and the debt service coverage ratio. • Amendment to the leverage ratio (Net Financial Debt/EBITDA) limiting the distribution of dividends, improving from the current 3.75x to 4.5x. • Voluntary debt repayment through early amortisation of 240 million dollars. All the improvements attained mean annual savings on financial expenses and were made possible thanks to Grifols’ good results following the completion of the acquisition of Talecris. The improvements obtained in the main financial categories and ratios, exceeding initial estimates, stand out. To this effect, at the close of 2011, the group’s leverage ratio (NFD/ EBITDA) was 4.3x (3.9x at constant exchange rate), much lower than the expected 5x adjusted EBITDA2. Meanwhile, estimated net financial debt rose to 2,738.2 million euro, with a cash position of 340.5 million euros. This trend has continued during the first quarter of 2012. As at March 2012 net financial debt stood at 2,628 million euros and the net financial debt ratio over adjusted EBITDA2 was 3.8 times. Furthermore, the forecast increase in cash flow remains unchanged, maintaining an upward trend thanks to Grifols’ greater exposure to countries with shorter collection periods, a trend that has enabled the planned debt reduction of 240 million dollars. In February 2012, Standard & Poor’s confirmed Grifols’ Secured Senior Debt rating at BB and unsecured debt at B, with global corporate rating at BB – with a positive outlook. In general terms, the credit rating agency values positively the initiative undertaken by Grifols with regard to the improved finance conditions as this reflects the groups commitment to expedite the completion of the planned calendar for deleveraging. Moody’s, which has not made any additional revision, maintains secured senior debt rating at Ba3, unsecured at B3, and Grifols’ global corporate long term credit rating as B1.

Grifols EQUITY As of March 2012, Grifols’ share capital was 117.9 million euros represented by 213,064,899 ordinary shares (Class A) and 113,499,346 non-voting shares (Class B). This includes the two share capital increases that took place in 2011 to cover the non-cash payment portion of the acquisition of Talecris and as alternative dividend payment to group shareholders. 3. ANALYSIS BY DIVISION POSITIVE PERFORMANCE ACROSS ALL DIVISIONS The operating results achieved by the group reflect the positive performance across all divisions and confirm Grifols’ position in the plasma products sector as the world’s third-largest company by sales volume. BIOSCIENCE DIVISION: 88.1% OF INCOME Bioscience income totalled 587.2 million euros in the first quarter of 2012, a 16.4% increase over the same period in 2011 in pro-forma1 terms and 187.5% on a reported basis3. After the integration process, this business area maintains an upward trend based on the increase in the sales volume of plasma derivatives as the division’s main engine of growth. By product, sales of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and alpha1-antitrypsin, a major plasma product for the group following the purchase of Talecris, are worth noting. Also, sales of factor VIII and albumin saw double digit growth in units sold, powered by this quarters’ performance in Russia and China. Throughout this quarter, in addition to the consolidation of the sales force and the commencement of new research projects to increase the therapy possibilities of plasma derivatives, Grifols has released the results obtained from the first clinical study it has performed on the impact of plasmapheresis on blood cholesterol levels in plasma donors. This initiative is a result of Grifols’ commitment to plasma donors that make the treatment with plasma derivatives possible, benefiting patients. In this sense, the analysis of over 9,000 samples of plasma donations from the 663 individuals on the clinical study suggest that plasmapheresis reduces low-density lipoprotein levels (LDP) or “bad cholesterol”. Furthermore, this process increases the levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDL) or “good cholesterol” in individuals with low basal HDL cholesterol levels. This discovery, without having assessed its clinical impact, could benefit not only plasma donors, but millions of people with high blood cholesterol levels. Furthermore, it confirms plasmapheresis as a non-invasive technique free from side-effects. Plasmapheresis is currently the most widely used method to obtain plasma since it allows for the separation of the plasma from other blood components (such as red blood cells, platelets and other cells). These are immediately re-injected into the donor at the same time as the donation, leading to a quicker and better donor recovery. FIRST QUARTER 2012 REPORT 9

Grifols DIAGNOSTIC DIVISION: 5.2% OF THE SALES Diagnostic saw 16.1% revenue growth, hitting 34.7 million euros, with a general increase across the main lines of business. This division is characterised as much by its internationalization as by all its possible growth pathways. It is worth noting the increase in the sale of reactive gel cards for blood typing in all of the markets where Grifols is present. HOSPITAL DIVISION: 4% OF TURNOVER The income of the Hospital Division increased by 12.4% to March 2012, reaching 27.0 million euros. International growth, mainly in hospital logistics, and the geographical diversification strategy through agreements have been the main engines of growth. In this respect, It is relevant the start of the distribution in Spain of the Actial Farmaceutica probiotic, VSL#3®, a nutritional supplement that contributes in maintaining the balance of intestinal flora and strengthens the immune system, is important. The product is suitable for adults and children, and is included in Grifols’ Gastroenterology and Nutrition line (previously Clinical Nutrition). It will be distributed both in hospital centres and in pharmacies. RAW MATERIALS DIVISION & OTHERS: 2.7% OF TURNOVER Revenue at the Raw Materials Division & Others totalled 17.7 million euros. The increase is explained by the income from the agreements with Kedrion and by the increase in the activity of Grifols Engineering. FIRST QUARTER 2012 REPORT 9 10

Grifols 4. FIRST QUARTER 2012 HIGHLIGHTS Grifols acquires 51% of Araclon During the first quarter of the year, and in relation to the promotion of the group’s R&D policies, it is worth noting the acquisition of 51% of the capital of Araclon Biotech, that has ensured the viability of this company’s project. Araclon Biotech was founded as a spin-off from the University of Zaragoza in 2004. Its main areas of research focus on the validation and marketing of a blood diagnosis kit for Alzheimer’s and the development of an effective immunotherapy (vaccine) for this disease. The operation was carried out by Gri-Cel, S.A., Grifols’ investment vehicle, that centralises the groups’ investments in companies and R&D projects in fields of medicine different to its main business, such as advanced therapies. After the acquisition, Grifols becomes the majority shareholder in Araclon Biotech with 51% of its share capital and the other founding partners maintain a 49% stake. Ongoing commitment to Human Resources In March 2012 Grifols’ average workforce comprised 11,055 employees, an 81% increase over the first quarter of 2011 as a result of the acquisition of Talecris. 74% of employees are located in North America, while 24% are based in Europe. Grifols Engineering designs and builds Nanotherapix experimental facilities Grifols Engineering has built the new experimental facilities for Nanotherapix, a technology company where Grifols has a 51% holding via Gri-Cel, S.A. These experimental laboratories with a surface area of approximately 235m2 will allow the company to continue research and development into a gene therapy platform, based on the autologous use of patients’ cells, genetically altered through an adenoviral vector. Grifols receives the Quality Management Certification for its medical devices in the United States The ISO certification 13485:2003+AC:2009 is an international standard of quality that establishes the benchmark for design, production and distribution of Grifols’ medical devices, as well as valuing the quality of management systems implemented by the company and the supervision of various related parameters including defined safety standards. Even though Grifols’ medical devices are manufactured in Spain, they are distributed in the United States, where the certification has been attained. Grifols obtains FDA approval for the production of antithrombin in Clayton The FDA has approved the new antithrombin production plant at Grifols’ manufacturing facilities in Clayton and the first lots have already been obtained. This product was still being manufactured as part of a contract agreement with Bayer in Berkeley (California). This is the only antithrombin approved by the FDA in the United States FIRST QUARTER 2012 REPORT 11
