Redcare Pharmacy reported 20% revenue growth year‑on‑year in the second quarter and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 3.5%, the highest level in ten years. The Rx business drove growth (+34% quarter‑on‑quarter); Rx revenue in Germany rose 58%. Active customers climbed to 14.7 million and H1 revenue reached €1.7bn (+19%). The company raised its full‑year revenue growth guidance to 15–17% and expects margin improvements, but sees near‑term risks from lower gross margins, non‑positive cash‑flow timing and a possible slowdown in Rx growth in H2.
