Procaps Group, S.A. (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 20-F”) within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort and expense because additional time is necessary to prepare and complete the Company’s review of its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, in order for the Company to file its annual report on Form 20-F, including with respect to an ongoing internal investigation initiated by the Company’s Audit Committee with the assistance of external advisors into matters involving the Company’s historical accounting treatment and associated financial statement disclosure related to a 2012 loan in the amount of $2.5 million that involved related parties. The Company is working diligently to complete the review of its financial statements and the aforementioned internal investigation in order to file its Form 20-F as soon as practicable within the fifteen-day grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

 

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification
Melissa Angelini		305		308-8434
(Name)		(Area Code)		(Telephone Number)
Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).
				☒ Yes ☐ No
Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
				☒ Yes ☐ No

 

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

 

The Company has made preliminary determinations of certain results of operations. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, is currently expected to be between approximately $425 and $433 million, compared to $409.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, with the difference primarily due to an increase in sales. Income for the year ended December 31, 2023, is currently expected to be between approximately $50 and $55 million, compared to income of $42.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, with the difference primarily due to the accounting treatment for non-cash shares and warrants held in escrow and an increase in non-recurring income.

 

Because the Company has not yet completed the preparation and review of its financial statements and because of the forward-looking nature of the estimated Adjusted EBITDA presented below, the Company does not have specific quantifications of the amounts that would be required to provide a reconciliation of income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS to Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company believes there is a degree of variability with respect to certain of the IFRS measures and certain adjustments made to arrive at the relevant non-IFRS measure that precludes the Company from providing an accurate preliminary estimate of an IFRS to non-IFRS reconciliation without unreasonable effort or expense. With reference to the foregoing and the below disclosures regarding the use of non-IFRS measures, the Company currently expects Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2023 to present single-digit growth in comparison with Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

The unaudited financial information set out above is preliminary and subject to potential adjustments, which could result in significant differences from this preliminary unaudited financial information.

 

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

 

The Company’s management uses and discloses Adjusted EBITDA and other measures which represent “non-IFRS” financial information to assess its operating performance across periods and for business planning purposes. The Company’s management believes the presentation of these non-IFRS financial measures is useful to investors as it provides additional information to facilitate comparisons of historical operating results, identify trends in our underlying operating results and provide additional insight and transparency on how we evaluate our business. These non-IFRS measures are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and should be viewed as supplemental and in addition to our financial information presented in accordance with IFRS.

 

The Company’s management defines EBITDA as profit (loss) for the period before interest expense, net, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. The Company’s management defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA further adjusted to exclude certain isolated costs incurred as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, certain transaction costs incurred in connection with the business combination (“Business Combination”) with Union Acquisition Corp. II, certain listing expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination, certain costs related to business transformation initiatives, certain foreign currency translation adjustments and certain other finance costs, and other nonrecurring nonoperational or unordinary items as the Company may deem appropriate from time to time. We also report Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net revenue as an additional measure so investors may evaluate our Adjusted EBITDA margins. Neither EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or IFRS and are non-IFRS financial measures.
