  • Cash-flow for the Q2 was NOK 20.4 million (Q2 2019: NOK -6.8 million)

CEO Jethro Holter comments:

"Overall, Q2 has been an outstanding quarter. An overall excellent performance has enabled us to deliver our most profitable quarter with an EBITDA of NOK 27 million. Operations have been firing maximally in order to serve growth in the underlying business as well as to capture all upsides relating to the coronavirus pandemic. Our operational flexibility to optimally handle significant spikes in demand and a dedicated team has collectively proved to be our greatest asset.

Setting coronavirus aside, sales growth remains strong in the underlying business. The main growth driver has been sales of the Salt Active Nuclease (SAN) products to the therapeutics segment. The SAN products continue to attract new customers who are developing gene therapies and vaccines. Furthermore, our well-established customers are regularly submitting substantially larger orders as they advance their development programs. ArcticZymes secured a supply agreement for SAN HQ with ReiThera, a leading Italian vaccine company, who is fast tracking the development of a COVID-19 vaccine. SAN HQ will be used to optimize one critical step in the manufacturing process of the vaccine.

At the beginning of the year, the company made a promise to drive the company into profitability during 2020. Based on the strong financial performance during the first half, we fully expect to achieve our goal with respect to profitability.

Now we are entering the second half, we do anticipate a slow-down in COVID-19 related sales. That aside, our main focus has always and will continue to be towards building on the strong foundations in the underlying business and driving inherent growth through new customers, existing long-term partners and through our expanding product portfolio."
