On January 9, 2024 Gotham City Research LLC (“GCR”) published a short report titled “Grifols SA: Scranton and the Undisclosed Debts.” Among other things, the GCR report alleged that the Company "manipulates reported debt & EBITDA to artificially reduce reported leverage. . . .”

On January 9, 2024, the price of Grifols shares dropped $2.43 per share or nearly 22%, to close at $8.70 per share.

Then on March 22, 2024, Bloomberg published a story titled "Grifols Drops as Regulator Finds 'Relevant Deficiencies'" that stated, in part, that "The regulator opened its review of Grifols' earnings in January after the company was targeted by short-seller Gotham City Research, which accused Grifols of deceptive accounting and poor governance. While Grifols has denied the allegations, its shares have suffered . . . The regulator has given Grifols 15 days to publish 'commitments to adequate its alternative performance metrics in upcoming financial reports' as well as additional data on Ebitda and net financial debt for relevant companies in which it has non-controlling stakes. The regulator said that the conclusions of its review could potentially lead to sanctions for Grifols, though that decision may take several months."

Following this news, the price of Grifols shares dropped $.56 per share or over 8%, to close at $6.22 per share on March 22, 2024.

Then, on July 30, 2024, Grifols disclosed in an SEC filing that it had overstated its stake in the Chinese company Shanghai RAAS Blood Products Co. Limited and also overstated its  consolidated reserves for the years 2020 to 2023 by €457 million due to “an incorrect application of the accounting treatment of the non-controlling interest.”
