Hikma delivers a solid H1 performance and re-affirms expectations for strong growth in the second half Press Release London, 7 August 2025 – Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC and its subsidiaries (‘Hikma’ or ‘Group’), the multinational pharmaceutical company, today reports its Interim Results for the six months ended 30 June 2025. Riad Mishlawi, Chief Executive Officer of Hikma, said: “In the first half of 2025, the strategic changes and renewed focus we put in place have started to deliver tangible results. We achieved strong revenue growth and built solid momentum across the business. While core operating profit was lower due to a strong comparator in 2024 and a change in product mix, we expect a return to growth in the second half and are pleased to reiterate our full-year 2025 guidance for the Group. Demand across our portfolio remains robust, we are successfully launching new products, strengthening our manufacturing capabilities, and securing key strategic partnerships. We are also making significant strides in advancing our pipeline and increasing our investment in R&D. With this foundation, we are well- positioned for the future and I look forward to sharing more updates on our continued growth."

4 STRATEGIC REVIEW We continued to implement our strategic priorities in the first half of 2025, making strong progress expanding our portfolio, strengthening our pipeline, enhancing our manufacturing capabilities and signing new partnerships. In the US we maintained our position as a top-three provider of generic sterile injectables by volume8 and a key supplier of non -injectable generic medicines. In the MENA region, we remain the second largest pharmaceutical company by sales9, with a growing portfolio and reach. In Europe, we are the sixth largest supplier of injectables by sales10 thanks to our expansion in France, Spain and the UK. Injectables Our Injectables business , which manufactures and supplies generic injectable medicines to hospitals across North America, Europe and MENA delivered good revenue growth in the first half with profit impacted by a change in product mix and the strong appreciation of the Euro. In North America, where we launched 11 products, we benefitted from liraglutide, the first approved ANDA for a generic GLP -1 referencing Victoza ®, as well as the Xellia portfolio acquired in September 202411. Their respective contribution to sales helped to offset competition on some of our larger products. We are making excellent progress with our R&D projects, which will support the long-term growth of the Injectables business. During the first half, we received FDA approval for the biosimilar ustekinumab, and for our reformulated vancomycin ready -to-use bag, TYZAVANTM, which we will launch in the second half . Our Canadian business continues to grow as we actively address product shortages, reinforcing Hikma’s position as a trusted and reliable supplier of essential medicines. Our MENA business had a strong first half, building market share across the portfolio. We had a good performance from our oncology, biotechnology and anti -infective portfolios as well as new launches, including our first diagnostic product from our partnership with Guardant Health. In Europe, we performed well across our established and recently entered markets. For example in France, which we entered in 2022, we more than doubled revenue in the first half. We are expanding our European portfolio through new launches, with 19 in the first half, and we are also benefiting from our local European manufacturing capabilities. We expect contract manufacturing revenues, which are largely generated in Europe, to be second half weighted. Branded Our Branded business, which supplies branded generics and in -licensed patented products across the MENA region, continued to grow market share across the region. Chronic therapy areas remain a key driver of our expansion, with treatments for diabetes, respiratory illness and multiple sclerosis all contributing to growth in the first half. We also remain a leader in oral oncology in the region, with a particularly good contribution from recently launched products , including the targeted breast cancer therapy, p albociclib, sold under our brand name Papillio , a first generic of this important medicine in Algeria. We have a significant and expanding manufacturing presence in the region , where localisation is key to our strategy, and during the first half of 2025 we have continued to make operational enhancements, 8 IQVIA MAT June 2025, generic injectable volumes by eaches, excluding branded generics and Becton Dickinson 9 Based on internal analysis by using data from the following source: IQVIA MIDAS® Monthly Value Sales data for Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and UAE, for the period: calendar year 2024, reflecting estimates of real- world activity.

5 including facility expansions, automation and rolling out inspection-readiness programmes , which will collectively improve efficiencies and enhance our quality levels. Hikma Rx Hikma Rx, which supplies oral and other non ‑injectable generic and specialty products to the US retail market, delivered a good first half performance against a heavily H1-weighted 2024 result. Our differ entiated portfolio is performing well with strong volume growth, especially for our inhalation products, which is partially offsetting expected levels of price erosion. We have also maintained our strong position in the sodium oxybate market. We continue to focus on efficiencies in th is business, improving output and managing our cost base. Concurrently, we have increased our R&D spend, as previously communicated, as we work to ensure we build out our pipeline to drive future performance. We continue to leverage our state -of-the-art production facility in Columbus, Ohio for contract manufacturing for a range of customers, and preparations at the site are ongoing for our previously announced contract with a large global pharmaceutical company. Outlook for full year 2025 We continue to expect Group revenue to grow in the range of 4% to 6%, and for core operating profit to be in the range of $730 million to $770 million. We continue to expect Injectables revenue to grow in the range of 7% to 9%. We now expect core operating margin to be in the range of 32% to 33% (previously mid-30s), primarily reflecting the strong appreciation of the Euro, as well as some inflationary pressure on shipping and other expenses. We now expect Branded revenue to grow in the range of 6% to 7% on both a constant currency and reported basis and for core operating margin to be close to 25%, reflecting a favourable product mix and strong performance from new launches. We continue to expect Hikma Rx revenue to be broadly flat vs 2024 , and core operating margin to be around 16%. We expect Group core net finance expense to be in the range of $90 million to $95 million and the core effective tax rate to be around 22%. We expect Group capital expenditure to be in the range of $170 million to $190 million. Medium term guidance We held an investor event at our Columbus, Ohio plant in May, showcasing both our Hikma Rx and Injectables businesses, and at the same time we introduced medium term guidance: • Group revenue CAGR of 6% to 8% between 2024-2027 • Group core EBIT CAGR of 7% to 9% between 2024-2027 • Group revenue of $5 billion by 2030

6 FINANCIAL REVIEW The financial review set out below summarises the performance of the Group and our three main business segments: Injectables, Branded and Hikma Rx, for the six months ended 30 June 2025. Group $ million H1 2025 H1 2024 Change Constant currency change Revenue 1,658 1,569 6% 5% Core revenue 1,657 1,569 6% 5% Gross profit 715 756 (5)% (6)% Gross margin 43.1% 48.2% (5.1)pp (5.2)pp Core gross profit 724 756 (4)% (5)% Core gross margin 43.7% 48.2% (4.5)pp (4.6)pp Operating profit 259 351 (26)% (25)% Operating margin 15.6% 22.4% (6.8)pp (6.5)pp Core operating profit 373 402 (7)% (6)% Core operating margin 22.5% 25.6% (3.1)pp (2.7)pp Core EBITDA 429 453 (5)% (5)% Core EBITDA margin 25.9% 28.9% (3.0)pp (2.7)pp Group revenue grew 6%, reflecting good growth in the Branded and Injectables businesses, offset by a slight decline in the Hikma Rx business. Core gross profit declined 4% and core gross margin was 43.7%. The decline reflects a change in the distribution of gross profit across the year compared to 2024, when gross profit of Hikma Rx and Branded was strongly weighted to the first half. In addition, this reflects the change in product and geographic mix in the Injectables business. Group reported operating expenses were $ 456 million (H1 20 24: $405 million). Group core operating expenses were $351 million (H1 2024: $354 million). Group reported selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $396 million (H1 2024: $325 million), reflecting a provision of $72 million taken for a legal settlement. Core SG&A expenses were $278 million (H1 2024: $280 million). This reflects reduced commercial spend in Hikma Rx following the out- licensing of Kloxxado®, offset by normal course increases in other businesses. Core and reported R&D expenses were up 20% to $73 million (H1 2024: $61 million), representing 4.4% of revenue (H1 2024: 3.9%). Reported other net operating income was $14 million (H1 2024: $19 million expense). This includes $14 million non-core income from an insurance settlement related the Group’s business in Sudan. Core other net operating income was $1 million (H1 2024: $13 million expense). Group reported operating profit reduced by 26% and Group core operating profit decreased by 7%, with a core operating margin of 22.5%.

In North America we are benefitting from recently launched products as well as the contribution from the Xellia portfolio. This has more than offset increased competition on certain products. In Europe and rest of world (ROW) we are seeing strong demand for our own products, particularly in recently entered markets such as France, driven by an expanding portfolio and market shortage dynamics. We continue to expect sales from contract manufacturing to be weighted to the second half. In MENA, our biosimilar portfolio continues to perform well and we are seeing good progress with private market opportunities.

8 Injectables core gross profit was down 3% and core gross margin contracted to 46.4%. This decline was driven by a change in product and geographic mix, including the dilutive impact of the Xellia portfolio, for which production is currently outsourced, and ongoing competition on some of our higher margin products in the US. Injectables operating profit declined 8%. Injectables core operating profit declined 7%, and core operating margin was 30.0%, down from 36.3% in H1 2024. This reflects the gross profit movement as well as further costs related to the appreciation of the Euro. During H1 2025, the Injectables business launched 11 products in North America, three in MENA, and 19 in Europe and ROW. We submitted 21 filings to regulatory authorities across all markets . We further developed our portfolio through new licensing agreements.

Branded reported and core gross profit were flat , with core gross margin reducing slight ly to 53 .1%, reflecting the timing of higher margin oncology tenders in H1 2024. Branded reported operating profit increased 13%, which included non-core income from an insurance settlement related to the Sudan business . Core operating profit grew 3%, reflecting higher foreign exchange related costs in 2024. In constant currency, Branded core operating profit grew 1%. During H1 202 5, the Branded business launched 14 products and submitted 36 filings to regulatory authorities. Revenue from in-licensed products represented 29% of Branded revenue (H1 2024: 28%).

We saw good volume growth in our inhalation portfolio, which helped to partially offset expected price erosion. The 11% reduction in Hikma Rx core and reported gross profit and the gross margin contraction to 33.5% was primarily due to price erosion and a slight increase in costs, as well as to a strong comparator period, as price erosion in 2024 was realised in the second half of the year. Hikma Rx reported operating profit declined 20%, and core operating profit declined 12%. We have offset a meaningful increase in R&D spend by reducing other costs, primarily sales and marketing spend. During H1 2025, we launched three products and submitted three filings to regulatory authorities. Other businesses Other businesses comprise our 503B compounding business, as well as Arab Medical Containers (AMC), a manufacturer of plastic specialised medicinal sterile containers , and International Pharmaceuticals Research Centre (IPRC), which conducts bio-equivalency studies. Other businesses contributed revenue of $15 million (H1 2024: $13 million) with a core operating loss of $4 million (H1 2024: $3 million loss) as we continue to invest in the development of our compounding business. Research and development Our investment in R&D and business development is core to our strategy and enables us to continue expanding the Group’s product portfolio.

11 The Group’s total debt was $1,558 million at 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: $1,306 million; 30 June 2024: $1,276 million), reflecting higher debt utilisation to fund the Xellia acquisition and the acquisition of brand rights from Takeda.

Our core results exclude exceptional items and other adjustments set out in Note 5. Constant currency As the majority of our business is conducted in the US, we present our results in US dollars. For both our Branded and Injectable businesses, a proportion of their sales are denominated in currenc ies other than the US dollar. In order to illustrate the underlying performance of these businesses, we include information on our results in constant currency. Constant currency numbers in H1 2025 represent reported H1 2025 numbers translated using H1 2024 exchange rates, excluding price increases in the business resulting from the devaluation of currencies. Core EBITDA Core EBITDA is reported operating profit before depreciation, amortisation on software , adjusted for exceptional items and other adjustments recognised within reported operating profit.

Working capital days We believe Group working capital days provides a useful measure of the Group’s working capital management and liquidity. Group working capital days are calculated as Group receivable days plus Group inventory days, less Group payable days. Group receivable days are calculated as Group trade receivables x 365, divided by trailing 12 months Group revenue. Group inventory days are calculated as

14 Group inventory x 365 divided by trailing 12 months Group reported cost of sales. Group payable days are calculated as Group trade payables x 365, divided by trailing 12 months Group reported cost of sales14. Group net debt We believe Group net debt is a useful measure of the strength of the Group financial position. Group net debt includes long and short-term financial debts (Note 1 0), lease liabilities, net of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash (if any). Group net debt $ million Jun-25 Dec-24 Short-term financial debts (706) (642) Short-term lease liabilities (10) (11) Long-term financial debts (798) (607) Long-term lease liabilities (44) (46) Total debt (1,558) (1,306) Cash 236 188 Net debt (1,322) (1,118) Forward looking statements This announcement contains certain statements which are, or may be deemed to be, "forward looking statements" which are prospective in nature with respect to Hikma’s expectations and plans, strategy, management objectives, future developments and performan ce, costs, revenues and other trend information.

Where included, such statements have been made by or on behalf of Hikma in good faith based upon the knowledge and information available to the Directors on the date of this announcement. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that any particular expectation will be met and Hikma’s shareholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward -looking statements.

Principal risks and uncertainties The Group faces risks from a range of sources that could have a material impact on our financial commitments and ability to trade in the future. The principal risks are determined via robust assessment considering our risk context by the Board of Directors with input from executive management. During the first half of 2025, t he US administration’s trade strategy involving the introduction of tariffs on direct imports has been closely monitored . The situation remains dynamic . Hikma continues to assess the situation and take mitigating actions where appropriate. In addition, Hikma has closely monitored the conflict in the Middle East and responded to ensure the safety of our people, and to mitigate potential disruptions to shipping and operations. The situation is managed by local, regional and group management te ams across multiple principal risk areas, overseen by the Executive Committee and Board. The principal risks facing the company have not materially changed in the last six months, and are set out in the 2024 annual report on pages 82 – 86. The Board recognises that certain risk factors that influence the principal risks are outside of the control of management. The Board is satisfied that the principal risks are being managed appropriately and consistently with the target risk appetite. Th e set of principal risks should not be considered as an exhaustive list of all the risks the Group faces.

17 Independent review report to Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC Report on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements Our conclusion We have reviewed Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the “interim financial statements”) in the Interim Results of Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC for the 6 month period ended 30 June 2025 (the “period”). Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' (IAS 3 4), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), UK adopted IAS 34 and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourceb ook of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority. The interim financial statements comprise: • the Condensed consolidated interim balance sheet as at 30 June 2025; • the Condensed consolidated interim income statement and the Condensed consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income for the period then ended; • the Condensed consolidated interim statement of changes in equity for the period then ended; • the Condensed consolidated interim cash flow statement for the period then ended; and • the explanatory notes to the interim financial statements. The interim financial statements included in the Interim Results of Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC have been prepared in accordanc e with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' (IAS 34), as issued by the International Accounting Stand ards Board (IASB), UK adopted IAS 34 and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority. Basis for conclusion We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK) 2410, ‘Review of Interim Financi al Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’ issued by the Financial Reporting Council for use in the Unit ed Kingdom (“ISRE (UK) 2410”). A review of interim financial information consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) a nd, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. We have read the other information contained in the Interim Results and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatem ents or material inconsistencies with the information in the interim financial statements. Conclusions relating to going concern Based on our review procedures, which are less extensive than those performed in an audit as described in the Basis for conclusion section of this report, nothing has come to our attention to suggest that the Directors have inappropriately adopted the going concern basis of accounting or that the Directors have identified material uncertainties relating to going concern that are not appropriately disclosed. This conclusion is based on the review procedures performed in accordance with ISRE (UK) 2410. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern. Responsibilities for the interim financial statements and the review Our responsibilities and those of the Directors The Interim Results, including the interim financial statements, is the responsibility of, and has been approved by the Directors. The Directors are responsible for preparing the Interim Results in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourceboo k of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority. In preparing the Interim Results, including the interim financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements 24 1. General information Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC is a public limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006. The registered office address is 1 New Burlington Place, London W1S 2HR, UK. The Group’s principal activities are the development, manufacture and commercialisation of a broad range of generic, specialty and branded pharmaceutical products across a range of dosage forms. 2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements (financial statements) for the six months ended 30 June 2025 have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' (IAS 34), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), UK adopted IAS 34 and the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules sourcebook of the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the y ear ended 31 December 2024, which have been prepared in accordance with: I. UK-adopted International Accounting Standards and with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies reporting under those standards. II. International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (”IFRS Accounting Standards”). The financial information does not constitute statutory accounts as defined in section 435 of the Companies Act 2006. A copy of the statutory accounts for 2024 has been delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The auditors’ report on those accounts was unqualified, did not draw attention to any matters by way of emphasis and did not contain any statement under Section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006. These interim financial statements have been reviewed, not audited. The currency used in the presentation of the accompanying financial statements is the US dollar ($) as most of the Group’s business is conducted in US dollars. The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 with the exception of the adoption of the new revised standard set out below, as well as the estimates required in determining the provision for income taxes in accordance with IAS 34 as of 30 June 2025. New standards, interpretations and amendments The following revised Standard and Interpretation has been issued and is effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 202 5. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. IAS 21 (Amendments) Lack of Exchangeability This amendment had no significant impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group but may impact the accounting for future transactions and arrangements.

Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements continued 25 2. Basis of preparation and accounting policies continued Going concern The Directors have considered the going concern position of the Group at 30 June 202 5. The Directors believe that the Group is well diversified due to its geographic spread, product diversity and large customer and supplier base. The Group’s business activity, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position are set out in these Interim Results. The Interim Results also include a summary of the financial position, cash flow and borrowing facilities. At 30 June 2025 the Group had undrawn long term committed banking facilities of $695 million. The Group’s total debt at 30 June 2025 was $1,558 million while the Group’s cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2025 were $236 million making the net debt1 $1,322 million. The Group’s net debt to trailing core EBITDA of $800 million ratio was 1.7x at 30 June 2025 (31 December 2024: 1.4x). Taking into account the Group’s current position and its principal risks for a period of at least 12 months from the date of this results announcement, a going concern assessment has been prepared using realistic scenarios, including a combined severe but plausible downside risk scenario considering specific risks facing the business related to maintenance of certain product prices , launch and commercialisation of new products and political stability . This assessment demonstrated sufficient liquidity headroom. Therefore, the Directors believe that the Group is adequately placed to manage its business and financing risks successfully, despite the current uncertain economic and geo-political outlook. Having reassessed the principal risks, the Directors have concluded it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the interim financial information and there is no material uncertainty requiring disclosure in this regard. Covenants on major financial debt arrangements are suspended while the Group retains its investment grade status from two rating agencies. During the period ended 30 June 2025, the Group’s investment grade rating was upgraded by S&P and Fitch to BBB. 1. Net debt includes long and short-term financial debts and lease liabilities, net of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, (if any)

In H1 2024, revenue included sales made to two wholesalers, each accounting for equal to or greater than 10% of the Group’s revenue: $200 million (13% of Group revenue) and $178 million (11% of Group revenue). 1. During the first half, the Group renamed its Generics segment to Hikma Rx 4. Business segments For management reporting purposes, the Group is organised into three principal operating divisions – Injectables, Hikma Rx and Branded. These divisions are the basis on which the Group reports its segmental information. Core operating profit, defined as ‘segment result’, is the principal measure used in the decision -making and resource allocation process of the chief operating decision maker, who is the Group’s Chief Executive Officer.

The agreed-upon settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing or legal liability. The Group booked a total provision of approximately $72 million to cover the agreed settlement amount for all related cases. These matters have been previously disclosed as contingent liabilities (Note 12) $14 million represents insurance compensation in relation to the Group’s losses in Sudan in a prior period Pre-production setup costs: $10 million related to the manufacturing plant acquired through the Xellia business combination in 2024. These costs are incurred during the pre -operational phase where commissioning and refurbishment of the plant is taking place. These activities are expected to be completed by the end of 2026, with further costs expected to be incurred in H2 2025 and 2026 Gain on extinguishment of financial liability: $6 million resulting from a settlement agreement that reduced a financial liability related to the acquisition of a product-related intangible asset that was previously impaired Reorganisation costs: $2 million of reorganisation costs related to a global restructuring program that started in 2024. Completion of these activities is projected in 2025, with an estimated additional cost of approximately $3 million. This program will improve efficiencies across various Group functions, including R&D activities benefitting from the integration of Xellia business combination Provision for rebates adjustment: $1 million represents a change in historical estimates in relation to prior years rebates Intangible assets amortisation other than software of $44 million Impairment charge on intangible assets and property, plant and equipment: $7 million of impairment charge mainly related to a product-related intangible asset due to the discontinuation of a pipeline product Remeasurement of contingent consideration s liabilities: $71 million represents finance income which primarily resulted from the adjustment of royalty payment arrangements with certain of the Group's business partners, as well as the revaluation of liabilities associated with future contingent consideration payment s recognised through business combinations (Notes 9, 11 and 15) Tax effect The tax effect represents the tax effect on pre -tax exceptional items and other adjustments which is calculated based on the applicable tax rate in each jurisdiction.

Tax The Group incurred a tax expense of $55 million (H1 2024: $59 million). The reported effective tax rate for H1 2025 is 18.6% (H1 202 4: 20.5%), representing the best estimate of the average annual effective tax rate expected for the full year on a legal entity basis, applied to the pre-tax income for H1 2025 and adjusted for the tax effect of any discrete items recorded in the same period. The prior year reported effective tax rate for the Group was higher than the same period this year primarily due to the difference in earnings mix. The application of tax law and practice is subject to some uncertainty and amounts are provided where the likelihood of a cash outflow is probable. Global minimum tax The Group is within the scope of the OECD Pillar Two model rules. Under the legislation, the Group is liable to pay a top-up tax for the difference between its Global Base Erosion (GloBE) effective tax rate per jurisdiction and the 15% minimum rate. Based on the latest assessment of the Pillar Two rules, the Group does not expect to incur a material top up tax charge. US Finance Act On 4 July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was signed into law, introducing changes to US tax legislation. As the legislation was enacted after the reporting period, its provisions are not reflected in the interim tax position. The Group is currently assessing the potential impact of these changes on future financial periods.

Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements continued 32 8. Other intangible assets Other intangible assets increased by $50 million (H1 2024: decreased by $1 million) during the period, primarily due to additions of $101 million (H1 2024: $52 million) offset by amortisation of $49 million (H1 2024: $49 million) and impairment charges of $6 million (H1 2024: $1 million). 9.

The current portion of these liabilities are recognised in other current liabilities (Note 9). The contingent consideration liability is accounted for as a financial liability at fair value under IFRS 9 (Note 15). Acquired contingent liability was recognised as part of a business combination. On acquisition, the acquired contingent liability was recognised at fair value under IFRS 3 ’Business Combinations’ and it is subsequently measured at the higher of the amount that would be recognised under IAS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’ and the amount initially recognised less any settlements made in respect of the liability. 12.

Net debt includes long and short-term financial debts and lease liabilities, net of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, (if any) 15. Fair value of financial assets and liabilities The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The carrying value of the following financial assets/liabilities are not significantly different from their fair values, as explained below: • Cash at bank and on hand and time deposit s – due to the short -term maturities of these financial instruments and given that they generally have negligible credit risk, management considers the carrying amounts to be not significantly different from their fair values • Long term receivables – carried at amortised cost, of which the fair value is estimated not to be significantly different from the respective carrying amounts • Receivables and payables – the fair values of receivables and payables are estimated to not be significantly different from the respective carrying amounts • Short-term loans and overdrafts approximate to their fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments • Long-term loans – loans with variable rates are re-priced in response to any changes in market rates and so management considers their carrying values to be not significantly different from their fair values • Deferred consideration – carried at amortised cost, of which the fair value is estimated not to be significantly different from the respective carrying amount
Page 37
Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements continued 37 15. Fair value of financial assets and liabilities continued Loans with fixed rates mainly comprise: • $500 million 3.25% five-year Eurobond with a carrying value of $500 million at 30 June 202 5 and fair value of $499 million accounted for at amortised cost. The fair value is determined with reference to a quoted price in an active market as at the balance sheet date (a level 1 fair value) • A ten-year $150 million loan from the International Finance Corporation with an outstanding balance of $54 million at 30 June 2025 and a fair value of $51 million. Fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities of such loans (a level 2 fair value) Management classifies items that are recognised at fair value based on the level of the inputs used in their fair value determination as described below: • Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities • Level 2: Inputs that are observable for the asset or liability • Level 3: Inputs that are not based on observable market data The following financial assets/liabilities are presented at their fair value: Fair value measurements Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total At 30 June 2025 (unaudited) Financial Assets Investments at FVTPL 25 - - 25 Investments in listed shares at FVTOCI 1 - - 1 Investments in unlisted shares at FVTOCI - - 42 42 Total financial assets 26 - 42 68 Financial Liabilities Contingent consideration liability (Note 11) - - 7 7 Total financial liabilities - - 7 7 Fair value measurements Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total At 31 December 2024 (audited) Financial Assets Investments at FVTPL 25 - - 25 Money market deposit 2 - - 2 Investments in listed shares at FVTOCI 1 - - 1 Investments in unlisted shares at FVTOCI - - 50 50 Total financial assets 28 - 50 78 Financial Liabilities Contingent consideration liabilities (Notes 9 and 11) - - 153 153 Total financial liabilities - - 153 153 Investments at FVTPL comprise a portfolio of debt instruments that are managed by an asset manager and which the Group designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss. These assets are classified as level 1 as they are based on quoted prices in active markets. Investments at FVTOCI include investments which are not held for trading and which the Group irrevocably designated as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The total portfolio as at 3 0 June 2025 includes two investments in listed companies with a readily determinable fair value that falls under level 1 valuation, their values are measured based on quoted prices in active markets. The other investments are unlisted shares without readily determinable fair values that fall under level 3 valuation. T he fair value is estimated by management based on the cost of investment and adjusted as necessary for impairment and revaluations with reference to relevant available information and recent financing rounds.

The obligation is now contractually payable and classified as deferred consideration, measured at amortised cost. 16. Related party balances and transactions No significant transactions between the Group and its associates and other related parties were undertaken during the half -year. Any transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated on consolidation. 17. Contingent liabilities Standby letters of credit and letters of guarantees A contingent liability existed at the balance sheet date in respect of standby letters of credit and letters of guarantees totalling $55 million (31 December 2024: $49 million) arising in the normal course of business. No provision for these liabilities has been made in these financial statements. A contingent liability existed at the balance sheet date for standby letters of credit totalling $14 million (31 December 2024: $14 million) for potential stamp duty obligations that may arise from the repayment of loans by intercompany guarantors. It is not probable that the repayment will be made by the intercompany guarantors. Legal proceedings The Group is involved in a number of legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business, including litigation relating to employment matters, product liability, commercial disputes, pricing, sales and marketing practices, infringement of IP rights, the validity of certain patents and competition laws. Most of the claims involve highly complex issues. Often these issues are subject to substantial uncertainties and, therefore, the probability of a loss being sustained and/or an estimate of the amount of any loss is difficult to ascertain. It is the Group’s policy to provide for amounts related to these legal matters if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and an amount is reasonably estimable.
Page 39
Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements continued 39 17. Contingent liabilities continued Legal proceedings continued In the proceedings noted herein, the Group currently believes it has meritorious defences and intends to vigorously defend itself. From time to time, however, the Group may settle or otherwise resolve these matters on terms and conditions that it believes to be in its best interes t. Litigation outcomes and contingencies are unpredictable and excessive verdicts can occur. Any legal proceeding, regardless of the merits, might result in substantial costs to defend or settle or otherwise negatively affect our business. - In Re Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation. Starting in 2016, more than 30 complaints have been filed against Group entities in the United States on behalf of putative classes of direct and indirect purchasers of generic drug products, as well as several individual direct action retailer and third party payor plaintiffs. These complaints allege that more than forty generic pharmaceutical defendants, including the Group entities, engaged in conspiracies to fix, increase, maintain and/or stabilise the prices and market shares of certain generic drug products during the periods of approximately 2010 to 2016. The plaintiffs seek unspecified treble monetary damages, which can be imposed jointly and severally with other defendants and can be significantly higher than the profits Hikma made on the alleged drug products, and equitable injunctive relief under federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws. The lawsuits have been consolidated in a multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (In re Generic Pharmaceuticals Pricing Antitrust Litigation, No. 2724, (E.D. Pa.)). At this point in the proceedings, the Group does not believe sufficient evidence exists to make a reasonable estimate of any potential liability. - Amarin Pharma Inc. v. Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC. In November 2020, Amarin Pharmaceuticals filed a patent infringement lawsuit against certain Group entities in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (No. 20-cv-1630) alleging that Hikma’s sales, distribution and marketing of its generic icosapent ethyl product infringe three Amarin patents that describe certain methods of using icosapent ethyl. Amarin sought an injunction barring Hikma from selling its generic product as well as unspecified damages. Hikma’s product is not approved for the alleged patented methods but rather is approved only for a different indication not covered by any valid patents. In January 2022 the district court dismissed the lawsuit, and Amarin appealed the court’s ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
