AGM Statement

Dublin, London | Thursday, 07 May 2026

Uniphar plc (the "Company" or "Uniphar") is holding its AGM today at 11am BST at the office of William Fry, LLP, 6th Floor, 2 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, D02 A342, Ireland.

At the AGM, Maurice Pratt, Chairman of Uniphar, will make the following statement:

"I am pleased to report that 2025 was another great year for Uniphar, with the business achieving its fastest rate of organic growth since IPO, with ca. 9% organic gross profit growth. This reinforces the success of our strategy in enhancing our ability to scale the company organically. With each of our three divisions delivering a strong performance, the business achieved 21% adjusted EPS growth in 2025, ahead of the Group's expectations. This was driven by a strong trading performance, lower finance costs and accretion from the €35m share buy-back programme completed in the period.

The Group continues to maintain a strong liquidity position, with Net Bank Debt/EBITDA of 1.6x at year end. We have now delivered a significant 6-year EPS CAGR of 16%, and we remain confident of reaching our €200m EBITDA target by 2028, with at least 80% of our growth being organic.

I am happy to report that 2026 has started well, with performance in the first four months in line with the Board's expectations. Uniphar remains well positioned to deliver organic gross profit growth across each division in line with previous guidance and to deliver on expectations for the full year.

M&A continues to play an important role in Uniphar's growth strategy, and the Group maintains a disciplined approach to capital allocation, while managing an active pipeline of acquisition opportunities to further enhance the Group's growth potential.

Sustainability remains a key priority for the Group and shapes how the business operates day-to-day. Based on

our recent double materiality assessment, we have a clear focus across the Environment, Social and

Governance themes and continue to make good progress.

Finally, as I retire as Chairman this year, I would like to thank our shareholders for their consistent support over the years. I'd also like to express my pride in what the Uniphar team - management, fellow Directors and all our global colleagues - have achieved thus far. I have every confidence that they will continue to grow the business, constantly finding innovative ways to enhance the services we offer to our healthcare clients and their patients."
