AGM Statement

Alliance Pharma plc (AIM: APH), the international healthcare group, will hold its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") this morning. At the meeting, the Group's CEO, Peter Butterfield, will make the following statement:

"Firstly, on behalf of the Board, I would like to thank all the Alliance team around the world for their outstanding work in a period of extraordinary challenge as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"As outlined in our preliminary results announcement last month, the majority of our employees have been working from home with minimal operational disruption to our business owing to our outsourced business model and robust IT systems. Our Shanghai office became fully operational again in early April and we look forward to fully re-opening our other offices around the world, in line with local government guidance.

"As expected, we have seen some impact on year to date revenues due to COVID-19, although we have been encouraged by the robustness of our product portfolio. We are now beginning to see a return in consumer confidence starting in China, a key market for Alliance, and we continue to anticipate that trading will be weighted to the second half of the year.

"Our supply chain remains robust and we have not experienced any significant supply disruption due to COVID-19. With a strong balance sheet and significant covenant headroom, the Board is confident that the Group is well placed to respond to increasing demand as local lockdown measures are eased.

"We look forward to providing an update on our first half trading performance and full year outlook in mid July 2020 in our scheduled half year trading update."
