Franco Moro, Chief Executive Officer of the Group, said, “Strong second-quarter operational results reflect the demand for our integrated, end-to-end portfolio of products, processes, and services that address customer needs across the entire drug life cycle at each of the development, clinical and commercial stages. We achieved double-digit revenue growth in both segments and across all geographies. Our financial results reflect solid demand in our core products, and, to a lesser extent, the ongoing need for our drug containment solutions that play a vital role in the global rollout of the Covid-19 vaccines. We estimate that approximately 15% of second-quarter 2021 revenue was attributable to Covid-19. Our strategic shift in prioritizing our high-value solutions helped boost gross margins by 100 basis points over the prior-year period. For the second quarter of 2021, high-value solutions accounted for approximately 24% of revenue, compared to 23% for the prior year.”

“The past few months have marked an exciting and important time for Stevanato Group,” said Franco Stevanato, Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors. “We are pleased to have successfully completed our initial public offering and, as a listed company, we look forward to continuing to drive long-term value for all of our stakeholders, including customers, patients, employees, partners, and our shareholders.”
