Düsseldorf, 6 October 2025. The Management Board of The Platform Group AG (ISIN: DE000A2QEFA1) has decided to raise its medium-term forecast for the 2026 financial year. Net sales of around EUR 1.0 billion (previous forecast: over EUR 860 million) and adjusted EBITDA in a range of EUR 70 million to EUR 80 million (previous forecast: over EUR 64 million) are now expected. Gross merchandise volume (GMV) is expected to rise to around EUR 1.7 billion (previous forecast: EUR 1.6 billion). The forecast for the 2025 financial year remains unchanged.

In addition to TPG's positive earnings performance and organic growth, the increase is attributable to the majority acquisition of Cologne-based Apothekia GmbH, which operates a pharmaceutical training platform. In addition, TPG holds a 50% stake in the Vienna-based Contracta Group, which owns 100% of the Austrian company Pharmosan and 79.5% of the Czech company Vamida. Furthermore, further acquisitions in the Optics & Hearing sector are taking place in October. The “Service & Retail Goods” segment will be expanded as a result and will be renamed “Pharma & Service Goods” in the future. The transactions are expected to close by the end of 2025, subject to approval by the relevant antitrust authorities.

In addition, The Platform Group has entered into agreements to acquire two further companies in the “Optics & Hearing” segment. Together, these companies generate sales in the single-digit million range with an EBITDA margin of around 24%.
