| REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL SITUATION AND RESULTS 1. Results of operations During the six months ended 30 June 2024 Group revenues increased by 2% to € 390.8 m compared to the same period of the previous year (6M 2023: € 383.8 m). The increase was driven by 50% higher revenues within Just-Evotec Biologics, however, within the Shared R&D segment, the revenue decreased by (7)% compared to the comparable prior year period. Excluding the positive fx-effects, Group revenues increased by 1.6% to €389.8 m. Base business increased by 3% from €379.6 m in 6M 2023 to €390.7 m in the six months ended 30 June 2024. The Costs of revenue for the six months ended 30 June 2024 amounted to € 340.3 m (6M 2023: € 284.3 m) yielding a gross margin of 12.9% (6M 2023: 25.9%). Within the comparable prior year, €31.5 m were reclassified from Costs of revenue towards Other Operating Expense, representing the internal effort of the Operations functions focused on business recovery after the cyber-attack. The other main driver of the increase in the costs of revenue lies within Just-Evotec Biologics due to higher headcount numbers and therefore higher labour costs, as well as increased material and supplier costs to cover the increased business. R&D expenses decreased to € 29.3 m, compared to € 30.9 m in the six months ended 30 June 2023 ((5.2)%), with a focused capital allocation to selected R&D projects. SG&A expenses for the six months ended 30 June 2024 amounted to € 91.9 m and were thus € 3.7 m or 4% higher compared to last year (6M 2023: € 88.2 m) especially driven by higher IT costs as well as Business Development and General & Admin expenses. The increase was related to higher personnel costs, consultancy and depreciation expenses. Overall, SG&A expenses have increased significantly more than the revenue growth in the past years and a simplification of the organization structure, operating model and footprint is needed as announced in the reorganization program. For the six months ended 30 June 2024, other operating income amounted to € 24.2 m, compared to € 38.5 m for the comparable prior year period. The decrease was driven by the Sanofi contribution that ended in 2023 (6M 2023 €16.9 m). Key driver for the decrease of other operating expenses from € 37.6 m in the first six months 2023 to € 7.9 m in the first six months 2024 were the internal and external costs related to the recovery after the cyber-attack, which are significantly lower within H1 2024.six months ended 30 June 2024. The Group has also reviewed its finite lived intangible assets as well as Goodwill for impairment whenever triggering events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amount value may not be recoverable. Following this review, the Group has not identified any impairment trigger. In the six months ended 30 June 2023, the review led to the recognition of an impairment loss of €(5.1) m linked to research and development projects. For the six months ended 30 June 2024 Reorganisation costs amounted to €(68.5) m driven by planned headcount reduction, planned closure of select sites, and the further reduction of physical footprint through surrendering of certain lease agreements and the associated costs. Adjusted Group EBITDA for the six months ended 30 June 2024 amounted to € (0.5) m (6M 2023: € 33.9 m) driven by higher Costs of revenues and SG&A expenses and less contributions within Other operating income. The net income (loss) as of 30 June 2024 amounted to € (115.6) m (6M 2023: € (28.8) m), predominantly driven by higher costs of revenues and reorganization costs, partly offset by lower other operating expenses.

| 2. Results in our reportable segments Shared R&D and Just-Evotec Biologics In the Shared R&D segment, revenues (incl. intersegment revenues) decreased by (7)% to € 302.4 m (6M 2023: € 324.8 m) mainly driven by a weaker performance within parts of the Discovery business area partially offset by increased revenues within the transactional business areas that was impacted heavily in the prior year after the cyber-attack. Costs of revenue within Shared R&D were at € 259.5 m in the six months ended 30 June 2024 (6M 2023: € 242.8 m), corresponding to a gross margin of 14.2% (6M 2023: 25.3%). The decrease in the gross margin was mainly driven by a lower top-line performance, a high fixed-cost base and under-utilization in some areas of Shared R&D. In the six months ended 30 June 2023 we reclassified €22.1 m from Costs of revenues to Other operating expenses as this was the time we spent on recovering after the cyber-attack. R&D expenses decreased to € 29.3 m (6M 2023: € 31.0 m), with a focused capital allocation approach to specific R&D projects. SG&A expenses increased to € 74.9 m (6M 2023: € 73.5 m), mainly caused by an increase in IT expenses. For the six months ended 30 June 2024, other operating income amounted to € 23.1 m, compared to € 37.4 m for the comparable prior year period, driven by the conclusion of the Sanofi contribution in 2023. Other operating expenses were € 7.9 m (6M 2023: € 28.2 m) driven by one-off expenses related to the cyber-attack but significantly lower compared to the comparable prior year period due to less internal and external cyber costs The adjusted EBITDA of the Shared R&D segment was € (3.8) m (6M 2023: € 29.2 m), due to lower revenues on an increasing cost base within costs of revenues and SG&A expenses and lower other operating income. Revenues within Just-Evotec Biologics increased to € 88.5 m (6M 2023: € 59.0 m). This growth of 50% was strongly driven by the higher order book in our Redmond, US plant. The new factory in Toulouse, France, is expected to be fully operational in Q1 2025. Costs of revenues of € 81.0 m were incurred in the first six months 2024 with higher labour and service and supplier costs to cover the increased base business in the US and the continuous ramp-up in France, compared to € 41.5 m within the six months ended 30 June 2023, where we were still in the ramp up phase in the US. In the same period, gross margin significantly decreased to 8.9% from 29.6% in the first six months 2023, where last year was driven by the recognition of Sandoz work packages. The increase in SG&A expenses (6M 2024: € 17.0 m vs. 6M 2023: € 14.7 m) was mainly caused by higher headcount and the continuous investment in IT-systems and process improvements. Other Operating Expense decreased by € 9.4 m, as this amount was reclassified from Costs of Revenues to Other Operating Expense within the six months ended 30 June 2023 related mainly to time spent on recovering after the cyber-attack. The adjusted EBITDA within Just-Evotec Biologics has decreased to € 3.3 m (6M 2023: € 4.8 m), as the cost base has increased stronger than the revenue growth. Within the six months ended 30 June 2023, we recognized a higher upfront revenue compared to this year. The base business development however, shows a positive development. 3. Financing and financial position Net cash used in operating activities in the first six months ended 30 June 2024 was € (98.6) m compared with € (7.3) m in the first six months 2023. This year’s figure is negatively affected by an increased net loss and unfavourable changes in working capital. INTERIM STATEMENT 6M 2024 7 7 |
| Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended 30 June 2024 amounted to € (62.2) m (6M 2023: € 34.7 m). Capital expenditure decreased to € 75.5 m (6M 2023: € 104.0 m) and was mainly related to investments in the Just-Evotec Biologics production facilities. The proceeds from current investments (net) decreased significantly to € 17.1 m (6M 2023: € 141.6 m) and originated from the (net) sale of bonds and fixed term investments. Net cash used in financing activities was € (124.9) m in the six months ended 30 June 2024 (6M 2023: € 6.2 m) which mainly results from the repayments of loans and lease obligations amounting to € (122.5) m (6M 2023: € (10.6) m ). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to € 221.9 m as of 30 June 2024 (31 December 2023: € 510.9 m ). Total Liquidity decreased to € 298.9 m (31 December 2023: € 604.1 m). 4. Assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity Assets Between 31 December 2023 and 30 June 2024, total assets decreased by € 253.6 m to € 1,998.9 m (31 December 2023: € 2,252.5 m). Investments amounted to € 77.0 m (31 December 2023: € 93.2 m). This decrease was due to the net sale of coupon bonds. Trade and other receivables increased in the six months ended 30 June 2024 by € 21.9 m to € 120.2 m (31 December 2023: € 98.4 m). The increase was predominantly due to issued invoices to one of our key customers. Contract assets amounted to € 35.4 m (31 December 2023: € 25.0 m). This increase is mainly due to an increase in contract assets in Just Evotec Biologics Inc. of € 8.3 m. Current tax assets increased from € 80.7 m as per 31 December 2023 to € 104.5 m as per 30 June 2024. The increase mainly resulted from an increase in R&D tax credits as well as a reclassification from non-current tax assets. Other current financial assets including derivatives decreased to € 10.4 m (31 December 2023: € 12.8 m) which is mainly due to a decrease in the fair value of our derivatives. Prepaid expenses and other current assets as of 30 June 2024 decreased by € 2.6 m to € 48.8 m compared to 31 December 2023 (€ 51.3 m) primarily due to a decrease in VAT receivables. Non-current investments and other non-current financial assets amounted to € 124.2 m (31 December 2023: € 139.0 m). This decrease resulted mainly from the revaluation of Evotec’s share in Exscientia plc and Sernova Corp. Property, plant and equipment increased by € 13.2 m to € 819.7 m (31 December 2023: € 806.6 m) driven by capital expenditures for site expansions, especially in Just - Evotec Biologics EU SAS and Just - Evotec Biologics Inc., exceeding the depreciation as well as the effect from the early termination of lease contracts in connection with the reorganization. INTERIM STATEMENT 6M 2024 8 8 |
| Intangible assets and Goodwill increased by € 5.0 m compared with 31 December 2023, to € 296.1 m (31 December 2023: € 291.1 m), primarily due to new developed technologies in relation with the Sandoz collaboration as well as to a positive impact from foreign currency translation. Non-current tax assets decreased to € 68.9 m (31 December 2023: € 94.4 m) mainly due to the reclassification to current tax receivables. Deferred tax assets increased to €29.4 m (31 December 2023: €14.3 m) mainly driven by additional tax loss carry forwards in Germany. Liabilities Current financial liabilities decreased to €45.3 m (31 December 2023: €149.1 m) due to the repayment of of a “Schuldscheindarlehen” and the related interest. Trade and other payables decreased by € 47.4 m in the six months ended 30 June 2024 to € 86.9 m (31 December 2023: € 134.3 m), resulting from the settlement of a high amount of invoices in the first half of 2024. Current and non-current contract liabilities decreased by € 28.6 m to € 224.3 m (31 December 2023: € 252.9 m) due to the recognition of revenue in relation with a BMS collaboration. Current and non-current provisions increased by € 58.4 m to € 119.6 m (31 December 2023: € 61.2 m), mainly driven by an additional provision in the amount of € 64.5 m in relation with our global reorganization, partially offset by the payout of the employee bonus. Stockholders’ equity Total stockholders’ equity decreased by € 108.4 m to € 1,011.5 m (31 December 2023: € 1,119.9 m). Evotec’s equity ratio as of 30 June 2024 remained stable with 50.6% (31 December 2023: 49.7%). 5. Human Resources Employees Headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, the Evotec Group employs 5,022 people globally as of 30 June 2024 (31 December 2023: 5,061 employees), which corresponds to a decrease of (0.8)% to the prior year’s end. Overall, the number of employees grew by 39 compared to the six months ended 30 June 2023 with 4,983 , driven by increased headcount in Just - Evotec Biologics. Stock-based compensation During the first half of 2024, a total of 536,044 Share Performance Awards and of 591,829 Restricted Awards were granted. Thereof, 117,292 awards were given to the members of the Management Board. The remaining number of awards were given to other key employees. INTERIM STATEMENT 6M 2024 9 9 |

| GENERAL MARKET AND HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENT Trends in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sector The biopharmaceutical industry is still affected by a number of negative market developments and indicators, starting back in the second half of 2023. Workforce reductions, ceasing operations and a wait and see approach is ongoing, described in Evotec’s Annual Report 2023 on page 34. Please see Evotec’s Annual Report 2023 for further information. THE EVOTEC SHARE Performance of the Evotec share in the first six months of 2024 The Evotec share started the year 2024 at € 21.28 and closed on 28 June 2024 at € 8.98. The departure of the former CEO on 3 January 2024 triggered a sharp share price correction that was completed on 12 February at a price of € 14.22. Supported by news related to operating progress, the share price stabilised at that level during March 2024. On 24 April 2024, following the announcement of the business figures for 2023 and the release of plans to refocus the business,, Evotec recorded a further drop in its share price to minimum € 7.34 on 19 June 2024. The announcement by Evotec and Sandoz to expand their technology partnership for the development and commercial manufacturing of biosimilars as well as the release on a multi-year master research collaboration with Pfizer, caused a moderate recovery in early July. Based on the closing price as of 30 June 2024 of € 8.98, the Evotec share traded 58% lower than at the end of 2023, significantly underperforming both benchmark indices, TecDAX (0%) and the MDAX (-7%).

All majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company are included in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

| The Group falls within the scope of application of the so-called Pillar II framework, that entered into effect in the German legislation on 28 December 2023 and is effective for the financial years beginning 1 January 2024. As the Group is in scope of the Pillar II legislation the Group may be liable to pay a top-up tax for each jurisdiction having an effective tax rate below 15%. During the transitional period from 2024 to 2026, the top-up tax can, upon request, be deemed zero for a jurisdiction where the requirements of the Country-by-Country Reporting safe harbour rules are met. The Group has exercised this option and based on its assessment, each jurisdiction in which the Group operates will meet the safe harbour test, i.e. no top-up taxes are expected for the financial year 2024. 4. Significant Information for the period Effective 15 June 2024, Aurélie Dalbiez joined Management Board as Chief People Officer. 5. Segment information For the six months period ended 30 June 2024, the Management Board made the decision to update the reportable segments to better steer the business and to reflect the underlying trends, evolutions and activities of the various Business Areas the Group is involved in. The Group believes that the two new reportable segments: Shared R&D and Just - Evotec Biologics represent fairly and provide a better information to external stakeholders on how resources are allocated and manage the Group’s overall performance. Intersegment revenues are valued with a price comparable to other third-party revenues. The evaluation of each reportable segment by the management is performed based on revenues and adjusted EBITDA.

| The Group performs its annual impairment test over goodwill in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. The Group’s impairment test for goodwill is based on value-in-use calculations. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the different cash generating units are disclosed in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. Based on the analysis of the business performance as of and for the six months ended 30 June 2024, the Group has not identified any impairment trigger. Finite lived intangible assets: The Group also reviews its finite lived intangible assets for impairment whenever triggering events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amount value may not be recoverable. Following this review, the Group has not identified any impairment trigger. As of 31 December 2023, the review led to the recognition of an impairment loss of k€ 5,011. 9.

Current and non-current financial liabilities The decrease of current financial liabilities to k€ 45,330 (as of 31 December 2023: k€ 149,096) is mainly due to the repayment of a “Schuldscheindarlehen” (k€ 108,500) and the related interest (k€ 3,500). Non-current financial liabilities decreased to k€ 428,181 (2023: k€ 477,112). The decrease is related to the termination of lease contracts (k€ 17,173) as well as reclasses to current financial liabilities (k€ 14,535) and other non-current liabilities (k€ 20,800) due to the reclassification of funding received for a forgivable loan. Some of the Group’s borrowing is subject to covenants based on Net Debt leverage. The Group has determined that it would not meet some of those covenants as of 30 June 2024 and 30 September 2024, and has subsequently obtained waivers before 30 June 2024.

| 12. Reorganization On April 24, 2024 as part of the publication of the 2023 Annual Results, the Group announced that it was currently assessing its current footprint and activities. As of June 30, 2024, the Group has recognized a provision of k€ (64,527) to cover the expected and estimated costs associated with the reorganization. Estimated reorganization costs mainly include employee termination benefits, Real Estate footprint optimization and other direct costs associated with the reorganization. 13. Financial risk management The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks such as currency risks, interest rate risks, credit risks and liquidity risks. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required. Additional disclosures can be found in the “Risks and opportunities” described in Evotec’s Annual Report 2023 on pages 52 to 70. There have not been significant changes to the risk management approach or to risk management policies since 31 December 2023. Fair value of financial assets and liabilities: The Group classifies its fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels: ▪ Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access at the measurement date. ▪ Level 2 – all significant inputs (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). ▪ Level 3 – one or more of the significant inputs are not based on observable market data, such as third-party pricing information without adjustments, for the asset or liability. The carrying amounts and fair values of the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost as of 30 June 2024 and as of 31 December 2023 are shown in the tables below. Financial assets measured at amortized cost approximate their carrying amounts in the statement of financial position. INTERIM STATEMENT 6M 2024 25 25 |

| There were no changes in the Group´s valuation process, valuation techniques and types of inputs used in the fair value measurements during the period. Apart from borrowings, the Group considers the carrying value of the financial instruments to approximate their fair value. The following shows the development of the fair values of Level 3 for the six months ended 30 June 2024 and during year 2023: in k€ Equity Instruments and other financial assets Contingent Consideration Balance as of 1 January 2024 40,328 (311) Exchange rate differences 49 — Additions 6,196 — Disposals — — Transfer from Level 3 to Level 2 (703) — Transfer from Level 2 to Level 3 9,543 — Fair Value Change (675) — Balance as of 30 June 2024 54,738 (311) in k€ Equity Instruments and other financial assets Contingent Consideration Balance as of 1 January 2023 53,875 (306) Exchange rate differences — — Additions 14,028 — Disposals (3,523) — Transfer from Level 3 to Level 2 (10,909) — Transfer from Level 2 to Level 3 — — Fair Value Change (13,144) (5) Balance as of 31 December 2023 40,328 (311) Currency risk: Foreign exchange exposure also arises because of inter-company loans and deposits. When the lending company enters such arrangements, the financing is generally provided in the functional currency of the subsidiary entity. When such loans would be part of the net investment in the subsidiary, net investment hedging would be applied. Translation exposure of foreign-currency equity invested in consolidated entities is generally not hedged. INTERIM STATEMENT 6M 2024 27 27 |
| 14. Income taxes The income tax amounted to an income of k€ 15,632 for the first six months 2024 compared to an income tax expense of k€ (2,175) for the six months ended 30 June 2023. This change is mainly driven by decreased gross profits and reorganization expenses resulting in additional tax loss carry forwards in Germany. 15. Related party transactions Except for the transactions described in Evotec’s Annual Report 2023 Note (19) on page 122, no other material transactions with related parties were entered into in the first six months 2024. 16.

NON-IFRS METRICS This interim report includes certain financial measures and metrics not based on IFRS, including Adjusted Group EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of intangibles, impairments on goodwill and other intangible and tangible assets, total non-operating results and change in contingent consideration (earn-out). Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure presented as a supplemental measure of our performance. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is presented because it is a key metric used by our Management Board to assess our financial performance. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of expenses that do not relate directly to the performance of the underlying business. Our definition of this non-IFRS financial measure may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby reducing the usefulness of our Adjusted EBITDA as a tool for comparison.
