streams<br />
B2B Generics & Prescriptions <strong>Acino</strong> Brand Marketing (B2C)<br />
• Product with customers brand or INN<br />
in market<br />
• No IP build-up and customer free to<br />
switch manufacturer after contract<br />
period<br />
• Relatively fast income through signing<br />
fees and fast Rx to Gx switch in<br />
countries where patents expired<br />
• Fast price erosion<br />
Marketing • Making use of big Gx companies<br />
marketing power<br />
• Product with <strong>Acino</strong> brand in the<br />
market<br />
• IP and brand equity build-up which<br />
remains with <strong>Acino</strong><br />
• Takes longer to establish substantial<br />
sales<br />
• Once successful, sustainable income<br />
flow<br />
• Mid- to long-term higher profitability<br />
• Marketing expenses to establish<br />
brands<br />
• Risk of being unsuccessful in<br />
marketing the branded product<br />
Market reach • Fast access to big market potential • Possibility for opportunistic<br />

Top-line growth in the mid to high single-digit percentage range expected<br />
At an average exchange rate of EUR/CHF of 1.30 or higher, EBITDA margin<br />
expected to significantly surpass the <strong>2010</strong> level but still to remain below<br />
the targeted sustainable level of 25%<br />
Mid- to long-term<br />
Proactive initiatives will further strengthen the revenue stream, reduce <strong>Acino</strong>’s<br />
exposure to mature markets and contribute positively to earnings in the mid-<br />
term<br />
EBITDA-margin of 25% viewed as a sustainable profitability level going<br />
forward<br />
Financial strength will allow to proactively pursue growth opportunities and to<br />
advance <strong>Acino</strong>’s position as a leading provider of pharmaceutical specialties<br />
