(1) Nature and Activities of the Company and Composition of the Group Grifols, S.A. (hereinafter the “Company”) was incorporated with limited liability under Spanish law on 22 June 1987. Its registered office is in Barcelona. The Company's statutory activity consists of providing corporate and business administrative, management and control services, as well as investing in assets and property. Its principal activity involves rendering administrative, management and control services to its subsidiaries. Its main facilities are located in Sant Cugat del Vallès (Barcelona) and Parets del Vallès (Barcelona). Grifols, S.A.’s shares are listed on the Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and Bilbao stock exchanges and on the electronic stock market. As of 2 June 2011, the class B non-voting shares were listed on the NASDAQ (USA) and the Automated Quotation System (SIBE/Continuous Market). In accordance with prevailing legislation, the Company is the Parent of a Group comprising the Company and the subsidiaries, associated and multi-group companies listed in Note 13 and the Appendix II. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Spain, consolidated annual accounts must be prepared to give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group, the results of operations and changes in its equity and cash flows. On 25 February 2025 the Company’s board of directors authorised for issue the consolidated annual accounts of Grifols, S.A. and subsidiaries for 2024 prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS-EU), which show consolidated profit attributable to the Parent of Euros 156,920 thousand, total assets Euros 21,405,241 thousand and consolidated equity of Euros 8,607,025 thousand (Euros 42,318 thousand, Euros 20,922,103 thousand and Euros 7,513,695 thousand, respectively, in 2023). (2) Basis of Presentation (a) True and fair view The accompanying annual accounts have been prepared on the basis of the accounting records of Grifols, S.A. The annual accounts for 2024 have been prepared in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework, which is established in the Spanish General Accounting Plan and the current commercial legislation, to give a true and fair view of the equity and financial position of the Company at 31 December 2024 and results of operations, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. The directors consider that the annual accounts for 2024, authorised for issue on 25 February 2025, will be approved with no changes by the shareholders at their annual general meeting. (b) Comparative information The balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and the notes thereto for 2024, include comparative figures for 2023 which formed part of the annual accounts approved by the shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 13 June 2024. (c) Functional and presentation currency The figures disclosed in the annual accounts are presented in Euros thousand, the Company’s functional and presentation currency, rounded off to the nearest Euro thousand. 10 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
(d) Critical issues regarding the valuation and estimation of relevant uncertainties and judgements used when applying accounting principles Relevant accounting estimates and judgements and other estimates and assumptions have to be made when applying the Company’s accounting principles to prepare the annual accounts. A summary of the items requiring a greater degree of judgement, or which are more complex, or where the assumptions and estimates made are significant to the preparation of the annual accounts, is as follows: (i) Relevant accounting estimates and assumptions The Company tests investments in Group companies for impairment when there are signs that the book value is lower than the recoverable value, understood as the higher amount between the fair value less costs of sales and usage value. The determination of the recoverable value implies the use of estimates made by management. The Company generally uses cash flow discounting methods to calculate this value. Cash flow discounting calculations are based on the 5-year projections of the budgets approved by management. The cash flows take into consideration past experience and represent management’s best estimate of future market performance. The fifth-year cash flows are extrapolated using individual growth rates. The key assumptions employed include growth rates and the discount rate. The estimates, including the methodology used, could have a significant impact on values and impairment. Assessment of the non-existence of a contractual obligation for Grifols. S.A. within the framework of the agreement signed with Haier for the sale of 20% of the shares of Shanghai RAAS in relation to the commitment by which the Company will make its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that its subsidiary Grifols Diagnostic Solutions, Inc. declares and distributes dividends to its shareholders. (ii) Changes in accounting estimates Although estimates are calculated by the Company’s directors based on the best information available at 31 December 2024, future events may require changes to these estimates in subsequent years. Any effect on the annual accounts of adjustments to be made in subsequent years would be recognised prospectively. Grifols, S.A. management does not consider that there are any assumptions or sources of uncertainty that would have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year. (3) Distribution of Profit The distribution of profit and reserves of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023, approved by the shareholders at their annual general meeting held on 13 June 2024, was as follows: Thousand Euros Basis of allocation Losses for the year (246,735) Allocation Voluntary reserve (246,735) 11 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) 11 |
The proposed distribution of losses for the year ended 31 December 2024 to be submitted to the shareholders for approval at their annual general meeting is as follows: Thousand Euros Basis of allocation Losses for the year (83,138) Allocation Voluntary reserve (83,138) As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, non-distributable reserves are as follows: Thousand Euros 2024 2023 Non-distributable reserves Legal reserve 23,921 23,921 Other 3 3 23,924 23,924 Profit recognised directly in equity cannot be distributed, either directly or indirectly. (4) Significant Accounting Policies (a) Business combinations Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method, for which the acquisition date is determined and the cost of the combination is calculated, recording the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value as of that date. The cost of the combination is determined by the aggregation of: - The fair values at the acquisition date of assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued. - The fair value of any contingent consideration that depends on future events or the fulfilment of predetermined conditions. Expenses related to the issuance of equity instruments or financial liabilities exchanged for the acquired items are not part of the cost of the combination. Similarly, fees paid to legal advisors or other professionals involved in the combination, as well as internally generated expenses related to these matters, are not part of the cost of the combination. These amounts are directly charged to the income statement. (b) Foreign currency transactions, balances and cash flows Foreign currency transactions have been translated into Euros using average exchange rates for the prior month for all foreign currency transactions during the current month. This method does not differ significantly from applying the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies have been translated into Euros at the closing rate, while non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at historical cost have been translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. In the statement of cash flows, cash flows from foreign currency transactions have been translated into Euros using the average exchange rates for the 12 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) 12 |
prior month for all flows that occur during the following month. This method does not differ significantly from applying the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Exchange gains and losses arising on the settlement of foreign currency transactions and the translation into Euros of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit and loss. (c) Capitalised borrowing costs Borrowing costs related to specific and general financing that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and investment property that will not be available for use, capable of operating or available for sale for more than one year are included in the cost of the asset. To the extent that funds are borrowed specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is determined as the actual borrowing costs incurred. Non-commercial general borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation are calculated as the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the Company’s outstanding borrowings during the period, other than those specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset and the portion financed using equity. The borrowing costs capitalised cannot exceed the borrowing costs incurred during that period. The Company begins capitalising borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset when it incurs expenditures for the asset, interest is accrued, and it undertakes activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use, operation or sale, and ceases capitalising borrowing costs when all or substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use, operation or sale are complete, even though the necessary administrative permits may not have been obtained. Interruptions in the active development of a qualifying asset are not considered. Nonetheless, restated advances on account are not qualifying assets for the purpose of capitalising borrowing costs. Capitalised borrowing costs are recognised in the income statement under capitalised borrowing costs. (d) Intangible assets Intangible assets are measured at cost or cost of production. Capitalised production costs are recognised under “self-constructed assets” in the income statement. Intangible assets are carried at cost, less any accumulated amortisation and impairment. Advances on account of fixed assets are initially measured at cost. In subsequent years, advances accrue interest at the supplier's incremental borrowing rate when the period between payment and the receipt of the asset exceeds one year. Cost of production of intangible assets comprises the purchase price and any costs directly related to production. Expenditure on activities that contribute to increasing the value of the Company’s business as a whole, such as goodwill, trademarks and other similar items generated internally, as well as establishment costs, are recognised as expenses on the income statement when incurred. (i) Computer software Computer software acquired and developed by the Company is recognised to the extent that costs can be clearly allocated, expensed and distributed over time to each project, and when there is evidence of technical success and economic viability. Computer software maintenance costs are charged as expenses when incurred. 13 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
(ii) Subsequent costs Subsequent costs incurred on intangible assets are recognised in profit and loss, unless they increase the expected future economic benefits attributable to the intangible asset. (iii) Useful life and amortisation rates Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortised by allocating the depreciable amount of an asset on a systematic basis over its useful life, by applying the following criteria: Depreciation method Rates % Computer software Straight-line 16-33 The depreciable amount is the acquisition or production cost of an asset. The Company considers that the residual value of the assets is zero unless: • There is a commitment by a third party to purchase the asset at the end of its useful life. • There is an active market for the intangible asset and: – Residual value can be determined by reference to that market; and – It is probable that such market will exist at the end of the asset's useful life. The Company reviews the useful life and amortisation method for intangible assets at each financial year end. Changes to initially established criteria are accounted for as a change in accounting estimates. (iv) Impairment losses The Company measures and determines impairment to be recognised or reversed based on the criteria in section (g) Impairment of non-financial assets subject to amortisation or depreciation. (e) Property, plant and equipment (i) Initial recognition Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost of acquisition or production, using the same criteria as for determining the cost of production of intangible assets. Capitalised production costs are recognised under “Self-constructed assets” in the income statement. Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment. The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment includes the estimated costs of its dismantling or removal and restoration of the site on which it is located, provided that the obligation is incurred as a consequence of having used the item. (ii) Property, plant and equipment swap Property, plant and equipment acquired in exchange for one or more non-monetary assets or a combination of monetary and non-monetary assets, is recognized for the monetary amount delivered plus the fair value of the non-monetary assets delivered in the transaction, except in those cases in which those that do not have a commercial substance or for which the fair value of the property, plant and equipment received or the asset delivered cannot be reliably measured. 14 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
The fair value of the asset received should be recognized by reference to the fair value of the asset delivered except in those transactions in which the fair value of the asset received can be determined with greater reliability. In those cases in which the fair value of the asset received or delivered cannot be determined reliably or in which the transaction lacks commercial substance, the acquisition cost is determined by reference to the net book value of the asset delivered, plus, where appropriate, the monetary counterparts paid or pending payment, with the limit of the fair value of the asset received if it were less. (iii) Depreciation Property, plant and equipment are depreciated by allocating the depreciable amount of the asset on a systematic basis over its useful life. The depreciable amount is the cost of an asset. The Company determines the depreciation charge separately for each component of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the asset and with a useful life that differs from the remainder of the asset. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the following criteria: Depreciation method Rates % Buildings Straight-line 2 Technical installations and machinery Straight-line 10 Other installations, equipment and furniture Straight-line 4-10 Other property, plant and equipment Straight-line 7-33 The Company reviews useful lives and depreciation methods at each financial year end. Changes to initially established criteria are accounted for as a change in accounting estimates. (iv) Subsequent costs Subsequent to initial recognition of the asset, only the costs incurred which increase capacity or productivity or which lengthen the useful life of the asset are capitalised. The carrying amount of parts that are replaced is derecognised. Costs of day-to-day servicing are recognised in profit and loss as incurred. Replacements of property, plant and equipment that qualify for capitalisation are recognised as a reduction in the carrying amount of the items replaced. Where the cost of the replaced items has not been depreciated independently and it is not possible to determine the respective carrying amount, the replacement cost is used as indicative of the cost of items at the time of acquisition or construction. (v) Impairment The Company measures and determines impairment to be recognised or reversed based on the criteria in section (g) Impairment of non-financial assets subject to amortisation or depreciation. 15 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
(f) Investment property The Company classifies property leased to its subsidiaries under this caption. Property that is being constructed or developed for future use as investment property is classified as property, plant and equipment under development until construction or development is complete. Nevertheless, redevelopment work to extend or improve property is classified as investment property. The Company measures and recognises investment property following the policy for property, plant and equipment. The Company reclassifies property, plant and equipment to investment property when it ceases to use the building in the production or supply of goods or services, for administrative purposes or when it is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Investment property is depreciated applying the following policies: Depreciation method Rates % Buildings and other installations Straight-line 1-10 (g) Impairment of non-financial assets subject to amortisation or depreciation The Company evaluates whether there are indications of possible impairment losses on non-financial assets subject to amortisation or depreciation to verify whether the carrying amount of these assets exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement. At the end of each reporting period the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognised in prior periods may no longer exist or may have decreased. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversible. Impairment losses on other assets are only reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to calculate the recoverable amount of the asset. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. The increased carrying amount of an asset attributable to a reversal of an impairment loss may not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, had no impairment loss been recognised. After an impairment loss or reversal of an impairment loss is recognised, the depreciation (amortisation) charge for the asset is adjusted in future periods based on its new carrying amount. However, if the specific circumstances of the assets indicate an irreversible loss, this is recognised directly in losses on the disposal of fixed assets in the income statement. (h) Leases (i) Lessor accounting Leases which, on inception, transfer to third parties substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the assets are classified as finance leases, otherwise they are classified as operating leases. (ii) Lessee accounting Leases in which, upon inception, the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership are classified as finance leases, otherwise they are classified as operating leases. 16 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
- Finance leases At the commencement of the lease term, the Company recognises finance leases as assets and liabilities at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Initial direct costs are added to the asset’s carrying amount. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. Interest is expensed using the effective interest method. Contingent rents are recognised as an expense when it is probable that they will be incurred. The accounting policies applied to the assets used by the Company by virtue of finance lease contracts are the same as those set out in sections (e) and (f) (Property, plant and equipment or Investment Property). - Operating leases Lease payments under an operating lease, net of incentives received, are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rents are recognised as an expense when it is probable that they will be incurred. (i) Financial instruments (i) Classification of financial instruments Financial instruments are classified at the time of their initial recognition as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument, in accordance with the economic substance of the contractual agreement and with the definitions of financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. For valuation purposes, the Company classifies financial instruments in the following categories: financial assets and liabilities valued at amortised cost; financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, by considering separately those initially designated from those held for trading and those compulsorily valued at fair value through profit or loss; financial assets measured at fair value through equity, by considering separately the equity instruments designated as such from the rest of the financial assets; and financial assets valued at cost. The Company classifies a financial asset at amortised cost if it is held in the framework of a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets to obtain contractual cash flows and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows which are only principal and interest payments on the outstanding principal amount (OPIP). The Company classifies as a financial asset at fair value through equity those financial assets whose contractual conditions, on specified dates, result in cash flows that are solely receipts of principal and interests on the outstanding principal amount, and they are not held for trading nor classified in the previous category. In this category are also included the investments in equity instruments designated irrevocably by the Company at the time of its initial recognition, as far as they are not held for trading and should not be valued at cost. The Company classifies as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss those financial assets held for trading and those financial assets that have not been classified in any of the previous categories. In this category are also included the financial assets that the Company optionally designates at the time of the initial recognition, which otherwise would have been included in another category, as such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a valuation inconsistency or accounting asymmetry. 17 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
The Company classifies a financial asset at cost when it is an (i) investment in the equity of group, multigroup and associates (ii) participating loans with contingent interests, either because a fixed or conditional variable interest rate is conditioned to the fulfilment of a milestone in the borrowing company, or because they are calculated exclusively with respect to the evolution of the activity of the aforementioned company. The Company classifies its financial liabilities at amortised cost. (ii) Valuation At the time of initial recognition, the Company values a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset that is not at fair value through profit or loss, the costs of the transaction that are directly attributable to the acquisition. The transaction costs of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are taken to results. In order to determine the fair value of financial assets or liabilities, the Company uses market data as much as possible. Based on the factors used for the measurement, the fair values are hierarchized based on the following factors: Level 1: estimates based on quoted prices (unadjusted) within current markets for assets or liabilities identical to those that the company may have access at the valuation date; Level 2: estimates based on quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments or other valuation methodologies in which all significant variables are based on directly or indirectly observable market data; or Level 3: estimates based on any significant variable that is not based on observable market data. In the event that the factors used to determine the fair value of an asset or liability are included in different levels of hierarchy, the fair value will be determined in its entirety based on the significant component located at the lowest level of hierarchy. (iii)Offsetting principles A financial asset and a financial liability are offset only when the Company currently has the legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. (iv)Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue are recognised as an expense when incurred. After initial recognition, they are recognized at fair value through profit or loss. Changes in the fair value include the component of interest and dividends. The fair value is not reduced by the transaction costs that may be incurred by their eventual sale or disposal by other means. (v) Financial assets and liabilities at amortised cost Financial assets and financial liabilities at amortised cost are initially recognized at their fair value, including the transaction costs incurred, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. 18 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
(vi)Investments in Group companies and associates Group companies are those over which the Company, either directly, or indirectly through subsidiaries, exercises control as defined in article 42 of the Spanish Code of Commerce, or when the companies are controlled by one or more individuals or entities acting jointly or under the same management through agreements or statutory clauses. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity or business so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, potential voting rights held by the Company or other entities that are exercisable or convertible at the end of each reporting period are considered. Associates are entities over which the Company, either directly, or indirectly through subsidiaries, exercises significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. The existence of potential voting rights that are exercisable or convertible at the end of each reporting period, including potential voting rights held by the Company or other entities, are considered when assessing whether an entity has significant influence. Investments in Group companies and associates are initially recognised at cost, which is equivalent to the fair value of the consideration given, including transaction costs in the case of investments in associates, and are subsequently measured at cost net of any accumulated impairment. The cost of investments in Group companies acquired before 1 January 2010 includes any transaction costs incurred. If an investment no longer qualifies for classification under this category, it is reclassified at fair value through profit or loss, unless it is designated at fair value through equity and it is valued as such from the date of reclassification, recognizing any difference in the profit or loss or in equity, respectively. In non-monetary business contributions to other group companies, including investments in group companies, the equity investments received are valued at the date the operation is carried out, for the amount representing the percentage of participation equivalent to the book value of the net assets of the investment contributed in the consolidated financial statements of the largest group whose parent company is Spanish according to the Standards for the Formulation of Consolidated Annual Accounts, plus transaction costs. Any difference between the book value of the investments received and the book value of the equity elements delivered (or the investment contributed), is recognized in reserves. The Company recognizes the amount contributed in a capital increase, including the preferential subscription rights acquired, as a higher value of the equity instruments. However, when the Company does not contribute proportionally to its stake in the issuer, it recognizes the difference as a donation expense. If the Company receives an asset or group of assets other than cash, the swap criteria previously indicated for non-monetary contributions are applied. (vii) Reclassifications of financial instruments The Company reclassifies a financial asset when the business model for its management is modified or when it meets or no longer meets the aforementioned classification criteria. The Company does not reclassify financial liabilities. 19 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
(viii) Derecognition of financial assets The Company applies the criteria for the derecognition of financial assets to a part of a financial asset or to a part of a group of similar financial assets or to a financial asset or a group of similar financial assets. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows related to them have expired or have been transferred and the Company has substantially transferred the risks and rewards derived from their ownership. (ix)Impairment of financial assets A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and the event or events have an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Impairment of financial assets valued at amortised cost The loss due to an impairment of financial assets valued at amortised cost is the difference between the book value of the financial asset and the present value of the estimated future cash flows. However, the Company uses the financial assets market value, as long as it is reliable enough to be considered representative of the value to be recovered. The impairment loss is recognized with charge to profit or loss and it is reversible in subsequent years, if the decrease can be objectively related to an event subsequent to its recognition. However, the reversal of the loss is limited to the amortised cost that the assets had if the loss due to the impairment in value had not been recorded. The Company directly reduces the carrying amount of a financial asset when it does not have reasonable expectations of full or partial recovery. Investments in Group companies Impairment is calculated by comparing the carrying amount of the net investment in the associate with its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is calculated based on the Company’s share of the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from ordinary activities and from the disposal of the asset. Unless better evidence is available, the investee’s equity is taken into consideration, corrected for any unrealised gains existing at the measurement date. In subsequent years, reversals of impairment losses in the form of increases in the recoverable amount are recognised, up to the limit of the carrying amount that would have been determined for the investment if no impairment loss had been recognised. The recognition or reversal of an impairment loss is disclosed in the income statement unless it should be recognised in equity. Impairment of an investment is limited to the amount of the investment, except when contractual, legal or constructive obligations have been assumed by the Company or payments have been made on behalf of the companies. In the latter case, provision is made. 20 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
(x) Derecognition and modifications of financial liabilities The Company derecognises all or part of a financial liability when it either discharges the liability by paying the creditor or is legally released from primary responsibility for the liability either by process of law or by the creditor. The exchange of debt instruments between the Company and the counterparty or substantial modifications of initially recognised liabilities are accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability, provided that the instruments have substantially different terms. The Company considers the terms to be substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective interest rate, is at least 10 per cent different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability. If the exchange is accounted for as an extinguishment of the financial liability, any costs or fees incurred are recognised as part of the gain or loss on the extinguishment. If the exchange is not accounted for as an extinguishment, any costs or fees incurred adjust the carrying amount of the liability and are amortised over the remaining term of the modified liability. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability, or part of a financial liability, extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss. However, the Company may designate the financial guarantee to be measured at fair value through profit or loss. (j) Hedge accounting Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized following the criteria set forth above for financial assets and liabilities. Derivative financial instruments that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria are classified and valued as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. In addition, Grifols assesses whether embedded derivatives are present in contracts and financial instruments. Financial instruments that combine a host contract and a financial derivative (embedded derivative) are known as hybrid financial instruments. In hybrid financial instruments, the Company assesses whether the risks and characteristics of the derivative are closely related to those of the host contract. If it is determined that the value of the derivative is closely related to the fair value of the contract, the Company does not account for the derivative separately. Conversely, if the risks and characteristics of the derivative are not closely related to those of the host contract and the host contract is not measured at fair value, the derivative is recognized and accounted for separately recognizing the changes in fair value in the consolidated income statement. Currently there are no separate financial instruments from the host contract. (k) Own equity instruments held by the Company Equity instruments acquired by the Company are shown separately at cost of acquisition as a reduction in capital and reserves in the balance sheet. Any gains or losses on transactions with own equity instruments are not recognised in profit or loss. Transaction costs related to own equity instruments, including issue costs related to a business combination, are accounted for as a deduction from reserves, net of any tax effect. 21 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
(l) Inventories (i) General Inventories are measured using the FIFO (first in, first out) method. When the cost of inventories exceeds replacement value, materials are written down to net realisable value. Inventories are mainly spare parts used to maintain the Company’s buildings and facilities. Emission allowances Emission allowances acquired are classified and measured by applying accounting policies. (m) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits in financial institutions. They also include other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. An investment normally qualifies as a cash equivalent when it has a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition. (n) Grants Grants are recorded in recognised income and expense when, where applicable, they have been officially awarded and the conditions attached to them have been met or there is reasonable assurance that they will be received. Grants that are given to finance specific expenses are recognised as income in the same year as the finance cost is accrued. (o) Defined contribution plans The Company recognises the contributions payable to a defined contribution plan in exchange for a service when an employee has rendered service to the Company. The contributions payable are recognised as an expense for employee remuneration and as a liability after deducting any contribution already paid. If the contribution already paid exceeds the contribution due for service before the end of the period, the Company only recognises that excess as an asset (prepaid expense) to the extent that the prepayments will lead to, for example, a reduction in future payments or cash refund. (p) Provisions (i) General criteria Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal, contractual, constructive or tacit) as a result of a past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account all risks and uncertainties surrounding the amount to be recognised as a provision and, where the time value of money is material, the financial effect of discounting provided that the expenditure to be made each period can be reliably estimated. The discount rate is a pre-tax rate that reflects the time value of money and the specific risks for which future cash flows associated with the provision have not been adjusted at each reporting date. 22 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
If it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle an obligation, the provision is reversed. (ii) Provisions for taxes Provisions for taxes are measured at the estimated amount of tax debt calculated in accordance with the aforementioned criteria. Provision is made with a charge to income tax for the tax expense for the year, to finance costs for the late payment interest, and to other income for the penalty. The effects of changes in estimates of prior years’ provisions are recognised according to their nature, unless they involve the correction of an error. (q) Revenue (i) Revenue from the rendering of services Revenue from the rendering of services is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Practically all services are rendered to Group companies. (ii) Interests and dividends The Company recognizes interests and dividends on financial assets accrued after the acquisition date as income in the profit and loss. The Company recognizes interests on financial assets valued at amortised cost using the effective interest method and dividends when the Company is entitled to receive them. In the initial valuation of financial assets, the Company records separately, based on their maturity, the amount of explicit interest accrued and not due at that time, as well as the amount of dividends agreed by the competent authority at the time of the acquisition. As a result, these amounts are not recognized as income in the profit or loss. If the dividends are clearly derived from profits generated prior to the acquisition date because amounts higher than the profits generated by the investment since the acquisition have been distributed, the carrying amount of the investment is reduced. This criterion is applied regardless of the valuation criterion used for the equity instruments, so for equity instruments valued at fair value, the value of the investment is also reduced and an increase in subsequent value in the profit or loss account or in equity is recognized, based on the instruments classification. The Company recognizes the dividends received by the delivery of an equity element or group of equity elements other than cash, in accordance with the previously indicated criteria. However, if the dividend is received as a business of a group company, the criteria indicated in BOICAC 85 should be applied. Interest and dividend income are classified as revenue when they form part of the Company’s ordinary activity. (r) Income tax The income tax expense or tax income for the year comprises current tax and deferred tax. Current tax assets or liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the taxation authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date. 23 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
Current and deferred tax are recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss for the year, except to the extent that the tax arises from a transaction or event which is recognised, in the same or a different year, directly in equity, or from a business combination. Government assistance provided in the form of deductions and other tax relief applicable to income tax payable is recognised as a reduction in the income tax expense in the year in which it is accrued. The Company files consolidated tax returns with its Spanish subsidiaries: Laboratorios Grifols, S.A., Instituto Grifols, S.A., Grifols Movaco, S.A., Biomat, S.A., Grifols International, S.A., Araclon Biotech, S.L., Grifols Engineering, S.A., Grifols Viajes S.A., Aigües Minerals de Vilajuïga, S.A. and Albajuna Therapeutics, S.L. In addition to the factors to be considered for individual taxation, set out previously, the following factors are taken into account when determining the accrued income tax expense for the companies forming the consolidated tax group: • Temporary and permanent differences arising from the elimination of profits and losses on transactions between Group companies, derived from the process of determining consolidated taxable income. • Deductions and credits corresponding to each company forming the consolidated tax group. For these purposes, deductions and credits are allocated to the company that carried out the activity or obtained the profit necessary to obtain the right to the deduction or tax credit. Temporary differences arising from the elimination of profits and losses on transactions between tax group companies are allocated to the company which recognised the profit/loss and are valued using the tax rate of that company. A reciprocal credit and debit arises between the companies that contribute tax losses to the consolidated Group and the rest of the companies that offset those losses. Where a tax loss cannot be offset by the other consolidated Group companies, these tax credits for loss carryforwards are recognised as deferred tax assets using the applicable recognition criteria, considering the tax group as a taxable entity. The Parent of the Group records the total consolidated income tax payable under payable to Group companies. The amount of the debt relating to the subsidiaries is recognised as receivables from Group companies. (i) Deferred Tax liabilities Deferred tax liabilities derived from taxable temporary differences are recognised in all cases except where they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable income. (ii) Deferred Tax assets Deferred tax assets derived from deductible temporary differences are recognised provided that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available against which they can be utilised or when the tax legislation considers the possibility to convert future assets for deferred taxes on receivables in front of the Public Administration. Nonetheless, assets arising from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable income, are not recognised. 24 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
(iii)Measurement Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the years when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted. The tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets or liabilities are also reflected in the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities. (iv)Offset and classification The Company only offsets tax assets and liabilities if it has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet under non-current assets or liabilities, irrespective of the expected date of recovery or settlement. (s) Employee benefits (i) Termination benefits Termination benefits are recognized on the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer or (b) when the Group recognizes costs of a restructuring and this results in the payment of termination benefits. (ii) Short-term employee benefits The Group recognizes the expected cost of short-term compensation in the form of paid leave whose rights accrue as employees render the services that entitle them to receive it. If the leave is not accrued, the expense is recognized as the leave is taken. The Group recognizes the expected cost of profit sharing or employee incentive plans when there is a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and a reliable estimate can be made of the value of the obligation. (iii) Share-based payments The Company has granted various equity-based compensation plans to certain members of the management team who are serving the company, which will be settled with either equity instruments or in cash, depending on the plan. The granted equity instruments become irrevocable when employees complete a certain service period and meet the objectives established in the incentive plan. Grifols recognizes the services received from its employees as such services are rendered during the irrevocable period, as a personnel expense in the income statement, and on the other hand, the corresponding increase in equity if the transaction is settled with equity instruments or the corresponding liability if the transaction is settled in cash, with an amount based on the value of the equity instruments. In transactions with employees settled with equity instruments, the recognized amount corresponds to the amount that will be settled once the agreed conditions are met and will not be revised or revalued during the accrual period, as the commitment is settled in shares. If an employee resigns before the accrual period ends, they will only receive the agreed incentive in shares. The fair value of the services received is estimated by estimating the fair value of the shares granted at the grant date, net of estimated dividends to which the employee is not entitled during the performance period. In plans settled in cash, the services received and the corresponding liability are recognized at the fair value of the liability, as of the date the recognition criteria are met. Subsequently, and until settlement, the corresponding liability will be valued at its fair value at the end of each reporting 25 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
period, with any changes in valuation during the period charged to the income statement. The fair value is determined by reference to the market value of the shares at the date of estimation, net of estimated dividends to which the employee is not entitled during the performance period. The Company assumes the payment related to employees of other group companies. Therefore, the Company recognizes the accrued cost of the plan in accordance with the criteria set out above as an increase in the investment in the subsidiary with credit to the "Other equity instruments" heading if the transaction is settled with equity instruments, or as a liability if the transaction is settled in cash. (t) Classification of assets and liabilities as current and non-current The Company classifies assets and liabilities in the balance sheet as current and non-current. Current assets and liabilities are determined as follows • Assets are classified as current when they are expected to be realised or are intended for sale or consumption in the Company’s normal operating cycle, they are held primarily for the purpose of trading, they are expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting date or are cash or a cash equivalent. • Liabilities are classified as current when they are expected to be settled in the Company’s normal operating cycle, they are held primarily for the purpose of trading, or they are due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting date. (u) Environmental issues The Company takes measures to prevent, reduce or repair the damage caused to the environment by its activities. Expenses derived from environmental activities are recognised as other operating expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Property, plant and equipment acquired by the Company to minimise the environmental impact of its activity and protect and improve the environment, including the reduction and elimination of future pollution from the Company’s activities, are recognised as assets applying the measurement, presentation and disclosure criteria described in section (e) Property, plant and equipment. (v) Transactions between Group companies Transactions between Group companies, except those related to mergers, spin-offs and non-cash business contributions, are recognised at the fair value of the consideration given or received. The difference between this value and the amount agreed is recognised in line with the underlying economic substance of the transaction. In non-monetary contributions to Group companies, the contributor will value its interests at the carrying amount of the equity investments, in the consolidated financial statements at the date the transaction occurred. Any difference between the value assigned to the interest received by the contributor and the carrying amount of the investments contributed will be recognised in reserves. (w) Non-current assets and disposal groups held for sale All related assets and liabilities to which active efforts have been initiated for their sale, are available in their current condition for sale, and it is highly probable that the sale will be completed within the next twelve months, are classified as held for sale. These assets are presented valued at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell and are not subject to depreciation from the moment they are classified as non-current assets held for sale. 26 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
In the event of delays caused by events or circumstances beyond the control of Grifols and if there is sufficient evidence that the commitment to the plan to sell those classified as held for sale is maintained, the classification is maintained even if the period to complete the sale extends beyond one year. Non-current assets held for sale are presented on the balance sheet under the headings "Non-current assets held for sale" for assets, and "Liabilities related to non-current assets held for sale" for liabilities, if any. Additionally, discontinued operations are considered to be components (cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units) representing a significant business unit or geographic area of operations that can be considered separate from the rest, which have been sold or disposed of by other means, or that meet the conditions to be classified as held for sale. Also, entities acquired solely for the purpose of resale are considered discontinued operations.

(12) Risk Management Policy (a) Financial risk factors The Company's activities are exposed to various financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk, and cash flow interest rate risk. The Company’s global risk management programme focuses on uncertainty in the financial markets and aims to minimise potentially adverse effects on the Company’s profits. The Company’s risk management policies are established in order to identify and analyse the risks to which the Company is exposed, establish suitable risk limits and controls, and control risks and compliance with limits. Risk management procedures and policies are regularly reviewed to ensure they take into account changes in market conditions and in the Company’s activities. The Company’s management procedures and rules are designed to create a strict and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their duties and obligations. The Group’s Audit Committee supervises how management controls compliance with the Group’s risk management procedures and policies and reviews whether the risk management policy is suitable considering the risks to which the Group is exposed. This committee is assisted by Internal Audit which acts as supervisor. Internal Audit performs regular and ad hoc reviews of the risk management controls and procedures and reports its findings to the Audit Committee. 35 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
Market risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, for example, exchange rates, interest rates or the prices of equity instruments, affect the Company’s subsidiaries revenues or the value of the financial instruments that the Company holds. The objective of managing market risk is to manage and control the Company and its subsidiaries exposure to this risk within reasonable parameters at the same time as optimizing returns (i) Market risk The Company is not exposed to market risks associated with non-financial assets. Even though, the Group is exposed to the price risk affecting raw materials, that is mitigated by the vertical integration of the hemoderivatives business in a highly-concentrated industry. (ii) Currency risk The Company operates internationally and is therefore exposed to currency risk when operating with foreign currencies, especially with regard to the US Dollar. Currency risk is associated with recognised assets and liabilities, and net investments in foreign operations. The Company holds several investments in foreign operations, the net assets of which are exposed to currency risk. Currency risk affecting net assets of the Company’s foreign operations in US Dollars is mitigated primarily through borrowings in the corresponding foreign currency. Details of financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency, as well as transactions denominated in foreign currency are presented in the Notes 15 and 22. At 31 December 2023, as mentioned in Note 16, the debt in US dollars was covered by the cross-currency swaps contracted to cover the exposure to the associated exchange rate risk. At 31 December 2024, had the US Dollar weakened by 10% against the Euro, with the other variables remaining constant, post-tax profit would have been Euros 2,120 thousand higher, mainly as a result of converting payables to Group companies (Euros 5,512 thousand higher at 31 December 2023). (iii)Credit risk The Company’s financial assets mainly comprise the trade receivables from and loans to Group companies. The Company considers that its financial assets are not significantly exposed to credit risk. Regarding the Company’s subsidiaries, credit risk is the risk in the event that a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to discharge a contractual obligation, and mainly results from trade receivables and investments in financial assets. At 31 December 2024,the impairment of those assets has not been significant. (iv)Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk to not meet the financial obligations as they fall due. Management approach to managing liquidity is to ensure where possible, that the Company always has sufficient liquidity to settle its obligations at the maturity date, both in normal conditions and in times of tension, to avoid incurring unacceptable losses or tarnishing the Group’s reputation. Management manages liquidity risk on a prudent basis, based on availability of cash and sufficient committed unused long-term credit facilities, enabling the Group to implement its business plans and carry out operations using stable and secure sources of financing. 36 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
The main contractual obligations existing at the end of the year mainly comprise financial debt obligations with repayments of principal and interests, in the long term mostly (see Note 22). The Group's treasury budget anticipates meeting all its commitments in the next 12 months. Additionally, as of 31 December 2024, the Grifols Group has a total of cash and other cash equivalents amounting to Euros 979,780 thousand (Euros 529,577 thousand as of 31 December 2023). Furthermore, the Group has approximately Euros 1,279,308 thousand in unused credit lines (Euros 615,328 thousand as of 31 December 2023) including Euros 1,230,308 thousand from the revolving credit line (Euros 544,729 thousand as of 31 December 2023). The Credit Agreement establishes a limitation on the disposition of the "revolving line" that has not been exceeded as of 31 December 2023 and 2024. Details of financial liabilities by contractual maturity date are provided in Notes 15 and 22(e). (v) Cash flow and fair value interest rates risks Interest rate risk arises on loans extended to Group companies and current and non-current borrowings. Borrowings and loans extended at variable interest rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risks. Fixed-rate borrowings expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk. The objective of interest rate risk management is to achieve a balance in the structure of the debt, keeping part of the external resources issued at a fixed rate and covering part of the variable rate debt extending loans to Group companies. At 31 December 2024 had interest rates been 100 basis points higher/lower, with the other variables remaining constant, post-tax profit would have been Euros 21,052 thousand lower/higher, mainly because of higher borrowing costs on variable interest debt (Euros 24,782 thousand at 31 December 2023). 37 GRIFOLS, S.A.

(i) Foreign currency The functional currencies of foreign operations are the currencies of the countries in which they are domiciled, except for Grifols Worldwide Operations Limited, Grifols Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. and Grifols Canada Ltd the functional currency of which is the US Dollar. (ii) Impairment testing At the end of the year, the Company assesses whether there are signs of impairment in each of the investments in group companies and associates. For investments in group companies and associates with signs of impairment, an estimate of the recoverable value is made, based on the present value of 5-year future cash flows approved by Management that are estimated to be received from each investment in its functional currency, discounted at a discount rate that includes the inherent risk, considering the net financial position and converting the euros at the closing exchange rate. When estimating the recoverable value, Management considered the gross margin based on the past performance and the current situation, the ongoing investments, and the national market performance expectations. Cash flows estimated as of the year in which stable growth in the financial investments has been reached are extrapolated using the estimated growth rates indicated below. Perpetual growth rates are consistent with the industry reports forecasts and the countries where the investee companies operate. 40 GRIFOLS, S.A.

The key assumptions used in impairment testing of the equity investments for 2024 were as follows: Perpetual growth rate Pre-tax discount rate Grifols Australia Pty Ltd. 2.2% 11.9% Grifols UK, Ltd. 1.6% 12.1% Kiro Grifols, S.L. 1.6% 11.6% Laboratorios Grifols, S.A. 1.6% 10.8% Grifols Portugal, Lda. 1.9% 9.4% Grifols Egypt for Plasma Derivatives (S.A.E.) 3.0% 19.6% The discount rate used reflects specific risks relating to the equity investments and the countries in which they operate. The main assumptions used for determining the discount rate are as follows: • Risk free rate: normalized government bonds at 10 years • Market risk premium: premium based on market research • Unlevered beta: average market beta • Debt to equity ratio: average market ratio Only for those investments in companies that, due to the specific nature of their activity do not have estimates of future cash flows, impairment has been calculated by comparing their equity value at the end of the year with the net book value of the investment. In 2024, as a result of the impairment test performed, the Company recorded an impairment of the investments in: Thousand Euros Investment Impairment Reversal of impairment Laboratorios Grifols, S.A. — 24,965 Grifols Viajes, S.A. 170 — Aigües Minerals de Vilajuïga, S.A. 1,266 — Kiro Grifols, S.L. 33,410 — Total 34,846 24,965 In the current economic context, the reasonably possible changes considered for equity investments are a variation in the discount rate (+/-50bps), as well as in the estimated perpetual growth rate (+/-50bps), except in the case of Grifols Egypt Plasma Derivatives (S.A.E) where a variation of (+/-100bps) has been considered, with independent analyses for each. The reasonably possible changes in key assumptions considered by management in the calculation of the equity investments recoverable amount would cause their carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount as follows: Potential impairment Perpetual growth rate Pre-tax discount rate -50bps +100bps Grifols Egypt Plasma Derivatives (S.A.E) —% 7% 41 GRIFOLS, S.A.

During the current period, the Company considered that the requirements detailed in Note 4, regarding the registration and valuation rules, have been fulfilled in order to classify the financial instruments detailed below as hedging instruments. The Company performs an analysis to assess to what extent the changes in the cash flows of the hedging instrument would offset the changes in the cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the risk that is intended to be hedged. Taking this analysis into account, the Company determines the existence of the economic relationship and the coverage ratio. At the year-end, the Company analyses the ineffectiveness and assesses whether an economic relationship continues to exist or whether the set hedge ratio is appropriate. The possible sources of ineffectiveness considered by the Company to determine the hedging relationship and the hedge ratio are: - The hedging instrument and the hedged item have different start dates and trade dates. - The underlying of the hedged item and the hedging instrument are not homogeneous. 46 GRIFOLS, S.A.

During 2024, the hedge item has changed to the senior unsecured notes in US Dollars absorbed in the merger with Grifols Escrow Issuer, S.A. (see Note 5). The characteristics of the financial derivatives are as follows: • On 28 June 2022 the Company entered into a fixed-for-fixed currency swap agreement with due date 15 October 2024. The agreement set the exchange of currency flows EUR-USD under the following terms: 48 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
- Grifols, S.A. received a loan in euros for an amount of Euros 194 million with an interest rate of 3.10%. - Grifols S.A. granted a loan in US dollars for an amount of US Dollars 205 million with an interest rate of 4.75%. • On 5 October 2021 the Company entered into a fixed-for-fixed currency swap agreement with some financial entities with due date 15 October 2024. The agreement set the exchange of currency flows EUR-USD under the following terms: - Grifols, S.A. received a loan in euros for an amount of Euros 173 million with an interest rate of 3.78%. - Grifols S.A. granted a loan in US dollars for an amount of US Dollars 200 million with an interest rate of 4.75%. • On 5 October 2021 the Company entered into two fixed-for-fixed currency swap agreements with due date 15 October 2024. The agreement set the exchange of currency flows EUR-USD under the following terms: - Grifols, S.A. received a loan in euros for an amount of Euros 259 million with an interest rate of 3.59%. - Grifols S.A. granted a loan in US dollars for an amount of US Dollars 300 million with an interest rate of 4.75%. In September 2024, the cross currency swap was terminated in advance. Financial instruments at fair value with changes in profit and loss In relation to the sale of shares in SRAAS (see Note 17) and with the aim of reducing exposure to EUR/RMB exchange rate fluctuations and ensuring the amount received in euros, the Company has entered into a derivative valued at fair value with changes recognized in the profit and loss account Energy swaps At the beginning of the 2023, the Company has entered into a hedge for the variation in the price of electricity. This contract has been entirely used to hedge the purchase price of electric energy against potential market price increases. The derivatives hedging the energy price meet the requirements for hedge accounting, and therefore, variations in the value of this financial instrument are recorded (net of taxes) in equity. (17) Non- currents assets held for sale On December 29, 2023, Grifols reached an agreement with Haier Group Corporation for the sale of a 20% equity interest in Shanghai RAAS (SRAAS) for RMB 12,500,000 thousand. As of December 31, 2023, such stake subject to the sale transaction was considered as a “Non-current asset held for sale” in the amount of Euro 1,360,089 thousand. On June 18, 2024, after obtaining the necessary authorizations from the required regulatory authorities and fulfilling certain agreed-upon conditions, the sale took place for an amount of RMB 12,163,730 thousand, net of taxes paid in China (Euros 1,564,256 thousand at the exchange rate on the transaction date). To reduce exposure to EUR/RMB exchange rate fluctuations and ensure the amount received in euros, Grifols contracted a EUR/RMB forward exchange rate financial instrument (Fx Forward), which was not recorded as hedge accounting. 49 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
On July 5, 2024, these funds were deposited into a Grifols Euro bank account, amounting to Euros 1,559,943 thousand at the contracted Forward exchange rate, recognizing a foreign exchange loss of Euros 17,790 thousand, presented under the heading ' Exchange Differences,' and a financial gain from the derivative of Euros 13,476 thousand, recognized under the heading 'Fair Value adjustments in Financial Instruments' (see Note 16). These funds have been used to reduce the Group's debt. As a result of this sale transaction, the Company loses its significant influence in its stake in SRAAS upon the closing of the transaction. The remaining 6.58% stake in SRAAS shares is considered a financial asset measured at fair value with changes in equity (see Note 15(b)), whose fair value at the transaction date was calculated based on the SRAAS share price on that date amounting to Euros 434,481 thousand Additionally, Grifols loses its indirect 11.79% stake in GDS capital that it held through its stake in SRAAS. Finally, as part of the transaction, the Company signed the following agreements: - Grifols has pledged its shares in SRAAS in favour of Haier (on behalf of Haier and SRAAS), to secure the cash pooling agreement between GDS, as creditor, and Grifols, as debtor. - Grifols retains the right to appoint a director to the board of directors of SRAAS. However, Grifols has granted Haier (a) a voting proxy for 10 years and (b) a right of first refusal in case Grifols wishes to sell these shares. The voting proxy agreement has been valued at Euros 10 million (see Note 18). The impact of the transaction on the income statement for the year 2024 was as follows: Thousand Euros Sales price 1,607,500 Fair value of 6,58% in SRAAS 434,481 Less: carrying value Non-current asset held for sale and transaction costs (1,390,604) Less: carrying value Investments in equity instruments of associates (see Note 13) (447,262) Less: Other obligations assumed (see Note 18) (10,433) Result before reclassification of exchange differences 193,682 Cumulative exchange differences in shareholders' equity 53,018 Result of the transaction (gain) 246,700 Income tax in China and Spain (34,544) Net income tax result 212,156 (18) Prepayments As of 31 December 2024 and 2023 prepayments include mainly insurance premium and maintenance prepayments. As a result of the voting proxy agreement signed during the sale of shares of SRAAS (see Note 17), the Company recognized a deferred income amounting Euros 10,433 thousands, which will be amortized over 3 years as this is the period during which Haier and Grifols have agreed not to transfer their shares in SRAAS. As of 31 December 2024, an income of Euros 1,855 thousand was recognized in the caption "Other operating income" in the income statement. 50 GRIFOLS, S.A.

(19) Equity Details of equity and movement during the year are shown in the statement of changes in equity. (a) Capital As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, amounts to Euros 119,603,705 and is represented by: - Class A shares: 426,129,798 ordinary shares of Euros 0.25 par value each, subscribed and fully paid and of the same class and series, and which are ordinary shares of the Company. - Class B shares: 261,425,110 non-voting preference shares of Euros 0.05 par value each, of the same class and series, and with the preferential rights set forth in the Company’s by-laws. Class B Shares Our Class B shares have substantially similar dividend and other economic rights as our Class A shares, but differ from the Class A shares in some important respects that are outlined below. Voting Rights Holders of our Class B shares generally do not have voting rights, except with respect to certain extraordinary matters, with respect to which approval by a majority of our outstanding Class B shares is required. Separate Vote at General Shareholder Meetings on Extraordinary Matters Notwithstanding the lack of voting rights of our Class B shares generally, resolutions on the matters detailed below (each, an“extraordinary matter”) require the approval of a majority of our outstanding Class B shares. - Any resolution (i) authorizing us or any of our subsidiaries to repurchase or acquire any of our Class A shares, except for pro rata repurchases available equally to holders of our Class B shares on the same terms and at the same price as offered to holders of our Class A shares or (ii) approving the redemption of any of our shares and any share capital reductions (through repurchases, cancellation of shares or otherwise), other than (a) those redemptions required by law and (b) those redemptions which affect equally our Class A shares and Class B shares and in which each Class B share is treated the same as a Class A share in such transaction. - Any resolution approving the issuance, granting or sale (or authorizing the Board to issue, grant or sell) (i) any of our shares, (ii) any rights or other securities exercisable for or exchangeable or convertible into our shares or (iii) any options, warrants or other instruments giving the right to the holder thereof to purchase, convert, subscribe or otherwise receive any of our securities, except if (a) each Class B share is treated the same as a Class A share in the relevant issuance, grant or sale and, therefore, has a preferential subscription right (derecho de suscripción preferente) or a free allotment right in the relevant issuance, grant or sale to the same extent, if any, as a Class A share or (b) if the issuance is made in accordance with the subscription rights described in “Subscription Rights” below. - Any resolution approving unconditionally or not (i) a transaction subject to Law 3/2009 (including, without limitation,a merger, split-off, cross-border redomiciliation or global assignment of assets and liabilities), except if in such transaction each Class B share is treated the same as a Class A share or (ii) our dissolution or winding-up, except where such resolution is required by law. - Any resolution for the delisting of any Grifols shares from any stock exchange. - Generally, any resolution and any amendment of the Articles of Association that directly or indirectly adversely affects the rights, preferences or privileges of our Class B shares (including any resolution that adversely affects our Class B shares relative to our Class A shares or that positively affects our 51 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
Class A shares relative to our Class B shares, or that affects the provisions in the Articles of Association relating to our Class B shares). The general shareholders’ meeting has the power to decide on all matters assigned to it by law or by the Articles of Association and, in particular, without limitation to the foregoing, shall be the only corporate body or office entitled to decide on these extraordinary matters. Preferred Dividend Each of our Class B shares entitles its holder to receive a minimum annual preferred dividend out of the distributable profits at the end of each fiscal year the share is outstanding equal to Euros 0.01 per Class B share. In any given fiscal year, we will pay a preferred dividend to the holders of our Class B shares before any dividend out of the distributable profits for such fiscal year is paid to the holders of our Class A shares. The preferred dividend on all issued Class B shares will be paid by us within the nine months following the end of that fiscal year, in an amount not to exceed the distributable profits obtained by us during that fiscal year. If, during a fiscal year, we have not obtained sufficient distributable profits to pay in full, out of those profits, the preferred dividend on all the Class B shares outstanding, the preferred dividend amount exceeding the distributable profits obtained by us will not be paid and will not be accumulated as a dividend payable in the future. Lack of payment, total or partial, of the preferred dividend during a fiscal year due to insufficient distributable profits to pay in full the preferred dividend for that fiscal year will not cause our Class B shares to recover any voting rights. Other Dividends Each Class B share is entitled to receive, in addition to the preferred dividend referred to above, the same dividends and other distributions (in each case, whether in cash, securities of Grifols or any of our subsidiaries, or any other securities, assets or rights) as one Class A share. Each Class B share is treated as one Class A share for the purpose of any dividends or other distributions made on our Class A shares, including as to the timing of the declaration and payment of any such dividend or distribution. Redemption Rights Each holder of our Class B shares is entitled to redeem those shares as set forth in this section if a tender offer for all or part of our share capital is made and settled (in whole or in part), except if holders of our Class B shares were entitled to (i) participate in such offer and (ii) have their shares acquired in such offer equally and on the same terms as holders of our Class A shares (including, without limitation, for the same consideration). Upon the closing and settlement (in whole or in part) of a tender offer for our shares in which holders of our Class B shares were not entitled to (i) participate and (ii) have their shares acquired in such offer equally and on the same terms as holders of our Class A shares (including, without limitation, for the same consideration), the redemption process will follow the process detailed below. - We will, within ten days of the date on which the redemption event occurred (i.e., the date on which the triggering tender offer settled), publish in the Commercial Registry Gazette, the Spanish Stock Exchanges’ Gazettes and in at least two of the newspapers with widest circulation in Barcelona an announcement informing the holders of our Class B shares of the redemption event and the process for the exercise of redemption rights in connection with such redemption event. - Each holder of our Class B shares will be entitled to exercise its redemption right for two months from the first date of settlement of the tender offer triggering the redemption right by notifying us of its decision. We will ensure that mechanisms are in place so that the notification of the exercise of the redemption right may be made through Iberclear. - The redemption price to be paid by us for each Class B share for which the redemption right has been exercised will be the sum of (i) the amount in euro of the highest consideration paid in the tender offer triggering the redemption right plus (ii) interest on the amount referred to in (i), from the date such tender offer is first settled until the date of full payment of the redemption price, at a rate equal 52 GRIFOLS, S.A.

In the case of transfer of shares, these will be made in equal terms on the anniversary date or at the end of the period, according to the terms of the agreement, and always subject to the permanence of the beneficiary on the agreed settlement dates. Each beneficiary must have been continuously employed by Grifols until the settlement date. The amount recognized in equity as of December 31, 2024 amounts to Euros 1,058 thousands. (c) Guarantees As of 31 December 2024 and 2023, the Company is guarantor in several contracts signed by its directly or indirectly participated companies, in the normal course of operations. As of 31 December 2024 and 2023 no liability associated with such guarantees is expected to arise. In particular, Grifols, S.A. acts as guarantor of the commitments acquired by a Group entity for the purchase of the 28 plasma centers from an independent third party (ImmunoTek). During 2024, the Group acquired 14 plasma centers. As of 31 December 2024 the amount of the guarantee for the 14 plasma centers pending to be acquired is USD 281 million (USD 557 million as of 31 December 2023). These 14 centers have been finally acquired between January and February 2025, see Note 30. Additionally, Grifols, S.A., through its subsidiary Grifols Shared Services North America, LLC. acts as guarantor for five plasma center lease agreements held by ImmunoTek that are not subject to this collaboration agreement up to an amount of US Dollars 50 million. Three out of the five guarantees have been released in February 2025, see Note 30. As a consequence of the agreement to sell the 20% shareholding in Shanghai RAAS to Haier, see Note 17, Grifols commits to achieve an aggregate GDS's Group EBITDA of US Dollars 850 million for the period 2024-2028 under condition that Haier owns no less than 10% of SRAAS. In the event of a breach of this commitment, it will compensate SRAAS with cash in 2029 for the multiplier resulting from the shortfall and the capital ownership that SRAAS' current holds in GDS. Based on the most pessimistic projections for the GDS Group, the probability of deviation is very low and therefore no liability has been considered at the closing of the sale transaction. This commitment will be assessed at the end of each year during the commitment period. (d) Other commitments On July 29, 2021, Grifols signed an agreement with the Egyptian company National Service Projects Organization (“NSPO”) through which Grifols and NSPO has incorporated a new entity in Egypt for the construction and operation of 20 plasma collection centers, a fractionation plant, and a protein purification and dosing plant. Grifols and NSPO hold 49% and 51% respectively in the new entity. The agreement includes a call option and a put option for both shareholders which allows them to acquire or sell their entire stake to the counterparty. These options can be exercised once the 10-year period from the creation of the company has elapsed. As the options are based on a variable number of shares and a variable amount, there is a derivative financial instrument that shall be measured at fair value through profit or loss. Given that the option price has been set at a value similar to the fair value of the new entity, the options do not have a significant value. As of 31 December 2024, no amount has been recognized for these options as they are not significant. 58 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish.

The Company has the following main applicable taxes open to inspection by the Spanish taxation authorities: Tax Years open to inspection Income tax 2017-2024 Value added tax 2018-2019, 2021-2024 Personal income tax 2021-2024 Capital gains tax 2020-2024 Tax on Economic Activities 2021-2024 Social Security 2021-2024 Non-residents 2021-2024 Customs duties 2021-2024 Years open to tax inspection Under prevailing legislation, taxes cannot be considered to be definitively settled until the returns filed have been inspected by the taxation authorities, or the prescription period has elapsed. In 2022 Grifols, S.A., was notified of an inspection for corporate income tax from 2017 to 2019 and VAT and withholding tax from 2018 to 2019. During 2024, the Group disagreed to the corresponding assessment proposals ("disconformidad") and has received the corresponding final assessments. No penalties were imposed on any of the Group companies for any of the taxes subject to these audit proceedings. As regards Corporate Income Tax, the assessment is based on a different pricing criteria approach. In relation to VAT, the assessment relies on a different interpretation of the financial activity carried out by the Group and how such difference affects the deductibility of certain expenses. The net tax liability registered as of December 31, 2024 to cover the exposure to uncertain tax treatments is Euros 79,947 thousand (Euros 14,000 thousand as of December 31, 2023), Euros 13,897 thousand corresponds to interests. This increase in the net tax liability for uncertain tax positions relates to transfer pricing mainly as a result of an update of potential tax liabilities following the tax audits mentioned above. 67 GRIFOLS, S.A. Notes to the Annual Accounts (Free translation form the original in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevails) |
Transfer pricing matters are complex, highly subjective and open to disputes involving different tax jurisdictions. The topics under discussion are complex and may take many years to resolve. The tax liability includes uncertain tax treatments which depend on the Group's assessment as to whether the approach taken by the Tax Authorities is likely to be sustained by Tribunals or Courts. Such assessment could change in the future to reflect progress in Tax Authorities' reviews to the extent that any Tax Authority review is concluded; progress in on-going appeals and international procedures, including the return of taxes which have already been paid under the assessments set out above; changes in legal provisions or in the interpretation of such provisions; or even expiry of the corresponding statutory periods of limitations. Management believes that it is unlikely that additional liabilities, above the amounts provided, will arise. Also, it is possible that the amounts provided may change and be partially, or even entirely, mitigated in future periods, as reviews, appeals or procedures challenging the Tax Authorities' approach progress or even the relevant statutes of limitation expire. Management continues to believe that the Group's position on all its transfer pricing, audits and disputes is robust, and that the Group has recognised appropriate tax provision balances, including consideration of whether corresponding relief will be available under applicable Mutual Agreement Procedures with the different countries. Timing of cash flows As highlighted above, the Group is currently under tax audit in several countries and the timing of any resolution of these audits is uncertain. It is anticipated that tax payments may be required in relation to the ongoing tax audits which may be resolved over coming years. The Group considers the tax liabilities set out above to appropriately reflect, according to current information, the expected value of any final settlement. Some of the items discussed above are not currently within the scope of tax authority audits and may take longer to be resolved.

In accordance with prevailing tax legislation in Spain, share-based payments to employees are income tax deductible for the intrinsic amount of the share options when they are exercised, thus giving rise to a deductible temporary difference for the difference between the amount the taxation authorities will admit as a future deduction and the zero carrying amounts of the share-based payments. At the close of the reporting period, the Company estimates the future tax deduction based on the price of the shares at that time. The amount of the tax deduction is recognised as current or deferred income tax with a balancing entry in the income statement. 69 GRIFOLS, S.A.

Details of deferred tax assets and liabilities that are expected to be realised or reversed in periods exceeding 12 months are as follows: Thousand Euros 2024 2023 Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences 72,155 34,167 Total assets 72,155 34,167 Deferred tax liabilities 2,884 4,184 Net 69,271 29,983 Limitation tax losses Law 38/2022 incorporated a temporary measure with effect for tax periods beginning in 2023, limiting the amount of the individual tax losses of each of the entities comprising the tax group for corporate income tax purposes by 50%. Through Law 7/2024, this temporary measure is extended for the periods 2024 and 2025, recognizing an additional deferred asset of Euros 38,853 thousand corresponding to the not settled negative bases of the 2024 fiscal year, which will be reversed at a rate of Euros 3,885 thousand annually over the next 10 years. As of December 31, 2024, the amount recognized in Deferred Tax Assets as a cumulative result of this limitation totals Euros 72,587 thousand (Euros 37,462 thousand as of December 31, 2023) Minimum taxation (Pillar2 OECD) In 2021, the OECD published the Model Rules of Pillar 2 to address tax challenges arising from the digitization of the economy. This international tax system reform tackles the geographical allocation of profits for tax purposes and is designed to ensure that multinational enterprises are subject to a minimum effective tax rate of 15%. On December 15, 2022, the Council of the European Union formally adopted the European Directive on Pillar 2. It is expected that EU member states will transpose the Directive into their domestic legislation by the end of 2023. On December 20, 2024, Spain enacted Law 7/2024, which establishes a new Complementary Tax in line with OECD Pillar 2, thereby fulfilling the obligation to transpose Directive 2022/2523. Law 7/2024 will apply to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2024. On May 23, 2023, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published the International Tax Reform - Second Pillar Model Rules. Proposed amendments to IAS 12, which will be applicable for accounting periods starting from January 1, 2023. The amendments to IAS 12 provide for a mandatory temporary exemption in recognizing deferred tax balances resulting from the implementation of Pillar 2 legislation. The Group has developed an accounting policy consistent with the amendments to IAS 12, whereby the Group does not record adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from the introduction of the minimum effective tax rate of 15%. In developing this accounting policy, the Group has also adopted the exemption to avoid providing detailed information on the modifications for transitional periods beginning on January 1, 2023. Beyond a significant increase in formal compliance burdens, the Group does not expect economic impacts from the application of this new regulation, as in most of the territories in which it operates, it is already subject to effective tax rates higher than 15% and also expects to be able to take advantage of the 'transitional safe harbor' that allows it to avoid the complementary tax and alleviate formal compliance burdens. 70 GRIFOLS, S.A.

The latest update to the agreement sets the fee at 0.10% of Grifols' consolidated sales. The annual license fee amounted to Euros 7,725 thousand in 2024, and Euros 7,486 thousand in 2023. Given that Marca Grifols became a related party on 23 December 2024, related party transactions in 2024 totaled Euros 187 thousand, which corresponds to the proportional share of the annual fee for the 9 days Marca Grifols was a related party. Transactions with other related parties are conducted at arm’s length.

To the shareholders: 1. Business performance and position of the Company Grifols, S.A. is a Spanish holding company specialised in the pharmaceutical-clinical sector. It is the parent company of the Grifols Group and its principal activities are as follows: - Defining action plans and general procedures for the entire Group. - Planning future investments by entering new markets or through product diversification. - Providing support to the various functional areas in each Group company (products division, technical division, marketing/sales division, scientific division, financial division and planning and control division). - Leasing owned buildings to Group companies. - Rendering services to subsidiaries such as personnel recruitment and management, communications and corporate image, IT services and maintenance. The Company obtains its income from leasing its buildings and rendering services, and through dividends from its subsidiaries. The Group's treasury budget anticipates meeting all its commitments in the next 12 months. The Group has various additional financing alternatives, such as negotiations with debt holders, accessing the debt market, or potential divestments in non-strategic assets, to optimize the debt structure and its financial cost. 2. Forecast The Company’s profits could be affected by events related to the activities of its subsidiaries, such as a lack of raw materials for product manufacturing, the arrival of competitor products on the market or regulatory changes in the markets in which it operates. At the date of authorisation for issue of these annual accounts, the Company has taken the measures it considers appropriate to mitigate any possible effects arising from the afore mentioned events. 3. Treasury stock As of 31 December 2024, the Company has treasury stock of Euros 134,448 thousand, as described in Note 19 of the accompanying annual accounts. Transactions involving treasury stock in 2024 are described in Note 19 of the accompanying annual accounts. 4. Research and development The Company does not conduct any research and development activities. 5. Management of financial risks The Company's financial risk management policy is detailed in Note 12 to the accompanying annual accounts. 6. Deferred payments to suppliers The average payment period to the Company’s suppliers for 2024 is 60 days, which is just at the maximum period of 60 days established by the transitional arrangement set out in the Spanish Law 15/2010. Regarding the payments made after the regulatory deadline, the Company is studying the best practices to reduce the average number of days. 7. Financial instruments use Cross-currency swaps - On 28 June 2022 the Company entered into a fixed-for-fixed currency swap agreement with due date 15 October 2024. The agreement set the exchange of currency flows EUR-USD under the following terms: - Grifols, S.A. received a loan in euros for an amount of Euros 194 million with an interest rate of 3.10%. - Grifols S.A. granted a loan in US dollars for an amount of US Dollars 205 million with an interest rate of 4.75%. GRIFOLS, S.A. Director's Report |
- On 5 October 2021 the Company entered into a fixed-for-fixed currency swap agreement with some financial entities with due date 15 October 2024.

Financial instruments at fair value with changes in profit and loss In relation to the sale of shares in SRAAS (see Note 17) and with the aim of reducing exposure to EUR/RMB exchange rate fluctuations and ensuring the amount received in euros, the Company has entered into a derivative valued at fair value with changes recognized in the profit and loss account Energy swaps At the beginning of the 2023, the Company has entered into a hedge for the variation in the price of electricity. This contract has been entirely used to hedge the purchase price of electric energy against potential market price increases. The derivatives hedging the energy price meet the requirements for hedge accounting, and therefore, variations in the value of this financial instrument are recorded (net of taxes) in equity. 8. Non-financial information statement and sustainability information The non-financial information statement and sustainability information is presented in the consolidated Directors’ report of the Grifols, S.A and Subsidiaries Group of which the Company forms part, and has been prepared in line with the requirements set out in Law 11/2018 of 28 December 2018 on non-financial information and diversity, approved on 13 December 2018 by the Spanish Congress of Representatives, amending the Spanish Code of Commerce, the Revised Spanish Companies Act approved by Royal Legislative Decree 1/2010 of 2 July 2010 and Spanish Audit Law 22/2015 of 20 July 2015, as regards non-financial information and diversity (under Royal-Decree Law 18/2017 of 24 November 2017). 9.

The remaining two guarantees, with an amount totalling approximately USD 20 million, are still in force and are expected to remain in force for as long as the lease agreements remain in force, and which balance is being reduced as and when the underlying lease term is reduced. Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) On February 21, further commitments from banks amounting to USD 74.5 million were signed, increasing the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Facility (RCF), guaranteed by the Company (see Note 22 b)), to USD 1,353 million until November 2025, and from that date onwards, to USD 938 million until its maturity in May 2027.
