Due to the discovery of a criminal cyber-attack on 6 April 2023, productivity was affected throughout the entire second quarter. In response to the criminal cyber-attack, Evotec took immediate action to contain and remediate the attack by taking its systems offline. This was deemed necessary to protect all the Company’s partners and stakeholders and Evotec could ensure that integrity of scientific data remained unaffected. The Company re-started operations over the course of April with productivity reaching approx. 50% in May and more than 80% in June.
