COPENHAGEN, Denmark, August 22, 2025 – Bavarian Nordic A/S (OMX: BAVA) announced today its interim financial results and business progress for the first half of 2025 and released its financial calendar for 2026.
| DKK million | Q2 2025 | Q2 2024 | H1 2025 | H1 2024 | 2025 Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue | 1,652 | 1,427 | 2,998 | 2,259 | 6,000 – 6,600 |
| EBITDA margin before special items1 | 33% | 29% | 32% | 20% | 26-30% |
1 Other operating income of DKK 810 million from the sale of the Priority Review Voucher will be recognized in Q3 2025, contributing to an expected total EBITDA margin of 40-42% for the full year.
Paul Chaplin, President & Chief Executive Officer of Bavarian Nordic said: "We are pleased to report a strong first half of 2025, which fully captures our successful commercial transformation over the past years, in line with our growth strategy. Our Travel Health business continues to outperform, delivering 24% revenue growth year-over-year, primarily driven by rabies and TBE vaccines. A major highlight for the period was the launch of our chikungunya vaccine for travelers, which is being introduced in more countries as we continue to expand our commercial footprint across new geographies. With the strong performance combined with recent additional orders for our mpox/smallpox vaccine, we refine our full year guidance to reflect higher revenue from Travel Health and a narrower revenue interval for the Public Preparedness business as we have now secured the lower end of our guidance for this business. Overall, we remain within our guided revenue interval and maintain our expectations to an EBITDA margin before special items of 26-30% in 2025. The recent sale of our Priority Review Voucher has generated a one-off income, strengthening our financial position and contributing to an improved result. Hence, the EBITDA margin including special items is expected to be 40-42% for the full year."
The freeze-dried version of JYNNEOS was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in March for prevention of smallpox and mpox disease in adults 18 years of age and older. The approval supports the ongoing contract with the US
government for stockpiling of the vaccine. In May, the US government exercised additional options valued at USD 143.6 million under the contract, with the majority planned for delivery in 2026.
In June, investigator-sponsored clinical trials were initiated to support approval of the mpox/smallpox vaccine in vulnerable populations: infants under 2 years of age and pregnant and breastfeeding women.

Comparative figures for 2024 are shown in brackets. Where market shares are mentioned, these are measured by value.
Rabipur/RabAvert revenue grew by 37% in the first half. The strong performance was driven by a combination of continued underlying market growth, strong brand performance and unconstrained supply.
The US market grew by 5% in the first half versus the prior year. RabAvert market share was 78%, 7pp higher than prior year level.
The German market grew by 93% in the first half versus the prior year where sales were impacted by supply constraints for both Bavarian Nordic and competition. Rabipur market share was 97%, in line with the level prior to the temporary stock-out in 2024.
Encepur revenue grew by 14% in the first half compared to the prior year, despite a decrease during the second quarter. Strong sales were recorded in the first quarter, driven by strong market growth, increased market shares and to some extent increased stocking by German wholesalers.
The German market grew by 15% in the first half versus the prior year and Encepur market share was 30%, 2 pp higher than prior year level.
Vivotif revenue in the first half was largely unchanged (-2%) compared to the previous year. The US market for typhoid vaccines declined by 9% in the first half and the effect was partly off-set by increased Vivotif market share that reached 19%.

Vaxchora revenue decreased by 36% in the first half, primarily driven by lower US sales.
Vimkunya was launched in the US in March, and in Germany and France in May and June respectively. Revenue of DKK 13 million was recorded in the first half.
Revenue from sales of third-party products grew by 13% in the first half, compared to the prior year, despite a decrease during the second quarter. Most of the revenue stems from sale of Valneva's products under the mutual marketing and distribution agreement which is set to expire by year-end 2025.
Revenue also includes limited sales of HEPLISAV-B under the marketing and distribution agreement with Dynavax. This agreement has not been renewed and will expire in April 2026.
Revenue from JYNNEOS/IMVANEX/IMVAMUNE increased by 51%, primarily driven by phasing, and also positively impacted by supplemental payments for the freeze-dried vaccines delivered to the U.S. government, triggered under options that were exercised in May 2025.
Other revenue decreased by 43% in the first half. The revenue mainly stems from ongoing contracts with the U.S. government, including the contract to develop an MVA-BN-based vaccine against equine encephalitis viruses.
Financial statements for the period January 1 – June 30, 2025 are un-audited. Comparison figures for the same period 2024 are stated in brackets.
Revenue for the period was DKK 2,998 million (DKK 2,259 million). Revenue was composed of DKK 1,386 million (DKK 1,119 million) from the travel health business, DKK 1,546 million (DKK 1,024 million) from the public preparedness business, and DKK 66 million (DKK 116 million) from contract work. The growth in the travel health portfolio was mainly driven by strong Rabipur/RabAvert sales of DKK 778 million (DKK 568 million) and Encepur sales of 374 million (327 million). Revenue reported for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was DKK 1,652 million (DKK 1,427 million).
Production costs totaled DKK 1,404 million (DKK 1,274 million). Costs related directly to revenue amounted to DKK 950 million (DKK 780 million), of which the cost of goods sold totaled DKK 903 million (DKK 694 million). Contract costs totaled DKK 47 million (DKK 86 million). Amortization of product rights was recognized as part of the cost of goods sold with a total of DKK 183 million (DKK 156 million). Amortization of product rights relates to Rabipur/RabAvert and Encepur, DKK 142 million (DKK 136 million), and Vivotif, Vaxchora and Vimkunya DKK 40 million (DKK 20 million). Other production costs totaled DKK 271 million (DKK 338 million). The decrease in other production costs is driven by an improved yield and a higher output success rate in bulk production leading to a higher absorption of indirect production costs. In the second quarter of 2025, production costs were DKK 738 million (DKK 708 million).
Sales and distribution costs totaled DKK 236 million (DKK 209 million), split between costs for distribution of products of DKK 50 million (DKK 30 million) and costs for running the commercial organization and activities of DKK 186 million (DKK 179 million). The increase in distribution costs follows the increase in sales, whereas the increase in running costs is primarily related to the launch of Vimkunya incl. added marketing costs and the establishment of sales entities in new countries.
Research and development costs totaled DKK 465 million (DKK 395 million). The increase mainly reflects development costs for Lyme disease, Epstein-Barr Virus, and Vimkunya life cycle management.
Administrative costs totaled DKK 263 million (DKK 244 million). The increase relates partly to the establishment of new sales entities in new countries and general business growth as well as inflation since 2024.
Income before interest and tax (EBIT) was an income of DKK 630 million, compared to an income of DKK 137 million in the first six months of 2024, following the higher revenue and gross profit for the first six months of 2025.
EBITDA was an income of DKK 961 million (income of DKK 441 million). Amortization of product rights amounted to DKK 183 million (DKK 149 million) whereas depreciation on other fixed assets amounted to DKK 148 million (DKK 155 million). The increase in amortization follows the US launch of the Vimkunya vaccine in March.
Financial items totaled a net expense of DKK 27 million (net income of DKK 15 million) and consisted of interest income of DKK 13 million (DKK 26 million), net loss on derivative financial instruments of DKK 0 million (net gain of DKK 1 million), financial net income from securities of DKK 4 million (net income of DKK 22 million), and net foreign exchange rate loss of DKK 14 million (gain of DKK 37 million) due to a decrease in USD exchange rate. Interest expense on debt amounted to DKK 3 million (DKK 3 million) and net value adjustment of deferred consideration from the acquisition of product rights from GSK and Emergent BioSolutions amounted to DKK 23 million (DKK 66 million). See note 6 and 7.
Income before company tax was a gain of DKK 603 million (DKK 152 million).
Tax on income was DKK 22 million (DKK 5 million). The effective tax rate is 3.6% for the Group. Tax has been recognized for the Parent Company based on the full year expected payable tax, taking possible usage of the non-recognized tax assets into account.
For the first six months of 2025, Bavarian Nordic reported a net gain of DKK 581 million (DKK 147 million).
Product rights recognized in the balance sheet totaled DKK 5,755 million compared to DKK 4,660 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase relates to Vimkunya previously recognized as a development asset, see further below. Product rights consist of the following assets: Rabipur/RabAvert, Encepur, Vaxchora, Vivotif and Vimkunya.
Acquired rights and development in progress previously consisted of the chikungunya phase 3 study and stood at DKK 1,287 million as of December 31, 2024. Following the launch of Vimkunya in March 2025, the development asset has now been recognized as product rights.
Securities, cash and cash equivalents were DKK 1,663 million as of June 30, 2025 (DKK 2,175 million as of December 31, 2024). The reduction in the cash position is mainly driven by payment of milestones to GSK (EUR 80 million) and Emergent BioSolutions (USD 30 million) and share buy-back program of DKK 150 million.
Cash flow generated by operating activities was positive by DKK 883 million (positive by DKK 1,066 million) with a positive net profit for the period only partly offset by a negative development in working capital by DKK 162 million (positive by DKK 519 million) compared to the December 31, 2024 position, primarily following an increase in inventory.
Cash flow from investment activities was negative by DKK 1,082 million (negative by DKK 1,696 million) and mainly consist of milestone payments to Emergent BioSolutions (USD 50 million) and achievement of the last operational milestone related to the tech transfer from GSK and thereby also the completion milestone, in total EUR 100 million of which the completion milestone amounts to EUR 70 million. The completion milestone is not expected to become payable until January 2026, whereas the EUR 30 million operational milestone will be payable in July. As per June 30, 2025, EUR 100 million is recognized as accounts payable. For further description see "Deferred consideration" section.
Cash flow from financing activities was negative by DKK 173 million (DKK 37 million negative), following completion of a share buy-back program of DKK 150 million in January. The shares are going to be held as treasury shares, for the purpose of adjusting the capital structure and meeting the long-term obligations relating to the Company's share-based incentive programs for the Board of Directors and Executive Management.
The net cash flow for the first six months of 2025 was negative by DKK 372 million following payments of milestones to GSK (received in December 2024) and Emergent BioSolutions, compared to a negative cash flow of DKK 667 million in the first six months of 2024 including DKK 1 billion in net investments in securities.
The Group's equity as of June 30, 2025, stood at DKK 12,049 million (DKK 11,409 million as of December 31, 2024).
During the first half of 2025, the last two milestones for the chikungunya development program were completed with the approvals of Vimkunya by the FDA and EMA in March and USD 50 million was paid to Emergent BioSolutions. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has no outstanding balance towards Emergent BioSolutions.
The last operational milestone (EUR 30 million) and the completion milestone (EUR 70 million) to GSK have both been achieved in the second quarter of 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding amount was recognized as accounts payable. Hereafter the Company has no deferred consideration recognized on the balance sheet.
Prepayment from customers stood at DKK 131 million as of December 31, 2024, and mostly related to prepayments from BARDA. During the second quarter of 2025 the main part of the prepayments have been recognized as revenue. As of June 30, 2025, the prepayments amount to DKK 10 million.
Bavarian Nordic faces a number of risks and uncertainties, common for the biotech/pharma industry. These relate to operations, research and development, manufacturing, commercial, and financial activities. For further information about risks and uncertainties which Bavarian Nordic faces, refer to page 28-31 "Risk Management" in the 2024 Annual Report.
Based on a strong performance in the Travel Health business as well as further clarity on the Public Preparedness business for the remainder of the year, Bavarian Nordic has refined its financial guidance for 2025, which overall remains within the previously announced revenue and EBITDA margin intervals.
In Travel Health, revenue is upgraded to DKK 2,750 million for the full year. In Public Preparedness, approximately DKK 3,100 million has been secured in revenue to-date, and a potential upside of up to DKK 600 million is pending potential new contracts as well as timing thereof. Hence, the revenue interval for this business is narrowed to DKK 3,100-3,700 million. Other revenue is lowered to DKK 150 million, reflecting phasing of contract work.
Based on the above, the total expected revenue is narrowed to DKK 6,000-6,600 million and the EBITDA margin before special items is maintained at 26-30%.
Furthermore, the net proceeds of DKK 810 million from the sale of the Priority Review Voucher will be recognized as other operating income in Q3 and will therefore not impact the revenue expectations for 2025 but will contribute to a higher EBITDA margin including special items of 40-42%, as previously guided.

|---|---|---|
| DKK million | guidance | guidance |
| Revenue | 5,700 – 6,700 | 6,000 – 6,600 |

| Other net operating income | 810 | 810 |
| EBITDA margin including special items | 40-42% | 40-42% |
Travel Health revenue includes DKK 50-100 million expected from the sale of Vimkunya.
The outlook is based on currency exchange rates of DKK 7.00 per 1 USD and DKK 7.45 per 1 EUR. All known 2025 USD exposure has been hedged at DKK 7.00 per 1 USD.
For additional key assumptions, see the 2024 Annual Report.
For each of its business areas, Bavarian Nordic has previously outlined its mid-term financial ambitions (2024-2027) as follows:
In Travel Health, an average annual growth (CAGR) of 10-12% is expected between 2023-2027.
Following the recent completion of the technology transfer for the rabies and TBE vaccines, cost of goods sold (COGS) for these products is expected to decrease by up to 30%, contributing to higher margins, starting in 2026 with full effect from 2027.
In Public Preparedness, an annual base business of DKK 1,500 – 2,000 million is expected, excluding revenue from private markets (US + Germany) and impact from outbreaks. Outbreaks in 2022 and 2024 have caused a surge in demand which still exists.
Chikungunya vaccine.
| Territory | Approved | Launched |
|---|---|---|
| US | February 2025 | March 2025 |
| EU | February 2025 | May 2025* |
| UK | May 2025 | Planned H2 2025 |
* Vimkunya was launched in Germany in May 2025, and in France in June 2025. Additional EU markets will launch during the second half of 2025. The approval is valid in all EU member states, in addition to Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway.
Bavarian Nordic has also submitted an application to Health Canada, which was accepted for review in July 2025. Following a standard review procedure, the chikungunya vaccine could obtain approval in the first half of 2026.
An application was also submitted to the Swiss regulatory authority, Swissmedic in July, potentially supporting approval in mid-2026.
In April, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to recommend Vimkunya for the prevention of disease caused by chikungunya virus for US persons aged 12 and older traveling to regions with an outbreak or elevated risk of chikungunya, as well as for laboratory workers with potential for exposure to chikungunya virus.
Recommendations for travelers have also been issued by relevant authorities in France, Germany and in the UK.
The long-term immunogenicity of Vimkunya is currently being evaluated in a follow-up phase 3 study (NCT06007183) in healthy adults and adolescents enrolled in two previous phase 3 studies (NCT05072080 and NCT05349617). The study will evaluate both the safety and long-term immunogenicity of a single dose of Vimkunya in up to 5 years after vaccination and antibody responses after a booster vaccination administered 3, 4, or 5 years post-initial vaccination.
A study of Vimkunya in children was initiated in June 2025. The global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (NCT07003984) will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of CHIK VLP vaccine in 720 children 2 to 11 years of age for two years. Primary results from the study are anticipated in the first half of 2028.
Additionally, in agreement with competent regulatory agencies, an efficacy study with more than 6,000 individuals is planned in a future outbreak area.
In February 2025, Bavarian Nordic entered a strategic partnership with Biological E. Limited, initially signing a contract manufacturing agreement with the aim to provide capacity for the future supply of chikungunya vaccines to endemic low- and middle-income countries.
Mpox and smallpox vaccine
In March 2025, following a standard review period of 10 months, the FDA approved the freeze-dried version of JYNNEOS for prevention of smallpox and mpox disease in adults 18 years of age and older, providing additional flexibility for stockpiling against a smallpox event or mpox outbreak.
In response to the mpox outbreak in Africa, Bavarian Nordic has partnered with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) to advance the development of MVA-BN in children and other vulnerable populations.
CEPI has supported a Phase 2 clinical study (NCT06549530) evaluating the immunogenicity and safety of MVA-BN in children from 2 years to less than 12 years of age compared to adults aged 18-50 years of age for the prevention of smallpox, mpox and related orthopoxvirus infections.
Results from this study could provide assurance of the use of this vaccine in children and thus support an extension of the current regulatory approvals for use of the vaccine in adults to also include children 2-11 years of age. Importantly, the study will also generate evidence on the vaccine in endemic African populations and could potentially support regulatory approval of MVA-BN in endemic countries.
Topline results from the study are anticipated in the third quarter of 2025.
CEPI has also co-funded studies of MVA-BN in infants and pregnant women, led by the University of Antwerp and the University of Kinshasa. In June, the first participants were vaccinated in a study (NCT06844487), evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of MVA-BN in 344 infants aged 4-24 months. Recruitment has also started in a second study (NCT06844500), which is planned to enroll 359 women (pregnant or breastfeeding), also to be evaluated for safety and immunogenicity of MVA-BN. Both studies are conducted in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the epicenter of the ongoing mpox outbreak, where infants and pregnant women remain highly vulnerable to mpox.
CEPI has also co-funded a clinical study (NCT05745987), led by McMaster University in Canada, to assess post-exposure vaccination with MVA-BN, i.e. if the vaccine helps reduce the risk of secondary mpox cases, or, in case of mpox infection, can reduce the severity of illness. The study will include over 3,000 participants including children over 2 years of age in households with a laboratory-confirmed mpox infection at sites in the DRC, Uganda and Nigeria. Results of the study could provide important findings to inform vaccination strategies in areas impacted by the mpox outbreak.
A Phase 2 clinical trial MVA-BN® WEV, a prophylactic vaccine candidate against Western (WEEV), Eastern (EEEV) and Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEEV) virus is ongoing.

The study will also assess booster responses one year after completion of the primary vaccination as well as the durability of the responses. Results from the study are anticipated in 2026.

During a period of four weeks before the planned release of its full year or interim financial reports, Bavarian Nordic does not comment on matters related to the Group's general financial performance or expectations.
A new vaccine candidate against Lyme, a tick-borne disease, was introduced into the pipeline in the first quarter. Preparations are ongoing to support the first clinical trial in 2026.
A second new program introduced into the pipeline during the first quarter is a vaccine candidate against Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), which is also being prepared for the first clinical trial in 2026.
On July 28, following an unsolicited approach, Bavarian Nordic entered into an announcement agreement with Innosera ApS, a newly formed company controlled by Nordic Capital Fund XI1 and funds managed and advised by Permira Beteiligungsberatung GmbH, pursuant to which Innosera Aps will make an all-cash recommended voluntary public takeover offer to acquire all issued and outstanding shares (excluding treasury shares) in Bavarian Nordic.
The offer price is DKK 233 in cash for each share in Bavarian Nordic.
The Board of Directors has unanimously decided that it intends to recommend the shareholders of Bavarian Nordic to accept the offer, when made in the form of an offer document approved by the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority. This is expected to be published no later than four weeks from the date of the entering of the announcement agreement.
The Board's decision is, among others, supported by Fairness Opinions, issued by Citi and Nordea.
The agreement announcement and Fairness Opinions are available on the Company's investor relations website, along with questions and answers about the offer:

The interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by EU and the additional Danish requirements for submission of interim reports for companies listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen. The interim report has not been audited or reviewed by the Company's auditors.
The interim financial statements are presented in Danish Kroner (DKK), which is considered the primary currency of the Group's activities and the functional currency of the parent company.
The accounting policies used in the interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the consolidated financial statements for 2024 and in accordance with the recognition and measurement policies in the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by EU.
As of June 30, 2025, the Company has implemented all new or amended accounting standards and interpretations as adopted by the EU and applicable for the 2025 financial year. None of the new or amended standards or interpretations are assessed to have significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In the preparation of the interim financial statements according to IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU, Management is required to make certain estimates as many financial statement items cannot be reliably measured but must be estimated. Such estimates comprise judgments made on the basis of the most recent information available at the reporting date. It may be necessary to change previous estimates as a result of changes to the assumptions on which the estimates were based or due to supplementary information, additional experience or subsequent events.
Similarly, the value of assets and liabilities often depends on future events that are somewhat uncertain. In that connection, it is necessary to set out e.g. a course of events that reflects Management's assessment of the most probable course of events.
Further to the key accounting estimates, assumptions and uncertainties, which are stated in the Annual Report 2024, the Management has not changed key estimates and judgments regarding recognition and measurement.
