Operations: The company's revenue is derived from three main segments: Pharma (€657.34 million), Medtech (€252.93 million), and Supply Chain & Retail (€1.77 billion).

Market Cap: €556.95M

Uniphar, with a market cap of €556.95 million, operates across Pharma, Medtech, and Supply Chain & Retail segments. Despite its high net debt to equity ratio of 41.1%, its debt is well covered by operating cash flow (54.2%), and interest payments are adequately managed (3.4x EBIT coverage). The company has experienced earnings growth over the past five years at 17.2% annually but saw slower growth last year at 1.4%. Uniphar's recent expansion into cell and gene therapy programs highlights potential in the European pharmaceutical market despite challenges from higher US sales figures for new medicines launched between 2016-2021.
