This information is information that BioGaia AB is obliged to make public pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The inf ormation was submitted for publication, through the agency of the CEO, at 08.00 a.m. CEST on 22 October 2025.
The Board of Directors and the CEO of BioGaia AB hereby present the interim management statement for the period 1 January – 30 September 2025.
As reported, the third quarter showed solid overall growth of 7% (14% excluding foreign exchange effects) and an adjusted operating margin of 26%, underpinned by continued double-digit sales growth in the US market.
We see strong growth following increased media investments in the US and our other prioritized direct markets, including Canada, UK and Australia, attracting new consumers and enhancing brand awareness.
The AMERICAS (+10%) and APAC (+17%) regions delivered double-digit growth, while sales in EMEA (-4%) declined for the quarter due to weak performance in Eastern Europe.
We showed continued strong growth in the adult segment with a sales increase of +6% (+13% excluding foreign exchange effects) and year-to-date +16% (+20% excluding foreign exchange effects) with particularly strong growth of our BioGaia Gastrus product line. The pediatric segment also showed good growth of +7% (+14% excluding foreign exchange effects) with strong growth for BioGaia Protectis Drops in the Asia Pacific and Latin America regions.
In the AMERICAS, overall region sales increased by 10% with the US market achieving record breaking sales in the quarter. In the US market, we are pleased to report that BioGaia Protectis Drops 5 ml was launched in over 1,000 Walmart stores, the largest retail chain in the world. We successfully launched two new products with promising potential – BioGaia Gastrus PURE ACTION in capsules, a new format, on Amazon which was well received, and we launched the completely new product BioGaia Prodentis FRESH BREATH with a strong online campaign. Canada is also performing well with triple digit growth for BioGaia Prodentis. The BioGaia Prodentis line has been well received by consumers and dental professionals in both Canada and the US showing potential for continued significant growth.
Also, in the AMERICAS region our new digital campaign in partnership with our Brazilian distributor Aché, targeting mothers and healthcare professionals, has surpassed 10 million views effectively highlighting the benefits and scientific evidence for our BioGaia Protectis Drops.
APAC sales increased by 17%. In our direct market, Australia, our expanding distribution and marketing activities are yielding rapidly increasing market shares. In Japan, our business development strategy is progressing well with online sales growing in both the DTC and Amazon channels. Our partnership with Alfresa, Japan's largest pharmaceutical wholesaler is fully established for the pediatric channel, as well as the announcement of a collaboration with the Japan Midwives Association.
EMEA sales declined 4% for the quarter due to weak sales in Eastern Europe. In our direct market France, we achieved record net sales driven by pharmacies and expanded distribution. In the important market of Turkey, we are pleased to have signed a long-term distribution agreement with Abbott, a longstanding BioGaia partner in the Middle East, Latin America and other markets. With Abbott's local expertise and distribution network, we will be able to drive a strong position in the market. Finally, we are pleased to announce two additional direct markets Germany and Austria that until now have been lagging markets for BioGaia.
In the quarter, we launched an important new product. As mentioned, we launched BioGaia Prodentis FRESH BREATH, our newest probiotic lozenge designed to promote both instant and long-lasting fresh breath while supporting healthy gums and teeth. Unlike conventional products like mouthwash that may disrupt the natural balance of the mouth, BioGaia Prodentis FRESH BREATH works with the oral microbiome to tackle bad breath at its source, complementing daily brushing and flossing. The product was launched in the US and will continue to be rolled out across other markets. With this innovation, we will expand our specialized oral care portfolio and continue to bring products that combine rigorous scientific research with real benefits for everyday life.
Demand for our new product in capsules, BioGaia® Gastrus® PURE ACTION, is high and is being rolled out to new markets. It is already available in the US, Australia, Finland, Poland, Sweden and Hungary. This FODMAP-friendly probiotic supports individuals with sensitive stomachs and participants who used the product demonstrated significant reduction in IBS symptoms.
The scientific rationale and identification of our new patented strain, L. reuteri BG-R46®, which will be featured in an upcoming next generation baby drops product, has been published in the prestigious journal, Beneficial Microbes. This new, evolved strain shows increased bile tolerance and potentiated adenosine production. Bile is one of the major stressors of the gastrointestinal tract and increased tolerance implies increased bacteria survival. Additionally, adenosine is a potent signaling molecule involved in combatting inflammation among many other processes. In the publication, genomic, phenotypic and human safety were assessed and L. reuteri BG-R46® was found to be a safe, well-characterized strain.
As previously announced, during the quarter, an extraordinary general meeting elected a new Chairman. With great respect and gratitude, we acknowledge that Peter Rothschild, our co-founder, longstanding CEO and then Chairman, is stepping down. This marks a new chapter in BioGaia's history as we welcome Mauricio Graber as our new Chairman. Mauricio brings extensive experience as a CEO in the food ingredients sector, as well as leadership roles within the nutrition and health industries. He has previously served as President and CEO of Chr. Hansen A/S (today Novonesis), a large global bioscience company. His broad expertise and proven leadership will be invaluable to BioGaia as we continue to grow and innovate.
As we enter this new chapter and celebrate BioGaia's 35th anniversary, I am confident that the company is well-positioned to continue its journey of innovation, scientific advancement, and strong international growth.
I look forward to the opportunities ahead and to driving BioGaia's mission forward.

This interim management statement was prepared in all material respects in accordance with Nasdaq OMX Stockholm's guidance for preparing interim management statements. Disclosures according to IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting are provided both in notes and elsewhere in the interim management statement. The accounting policies applied in the consolidated income statement and balance sheet are consistent with the accounting policies applied in preparation of the most recent annual report. The financial accounts and segment information correspond to the statements used in interim financial reporting prepared in accordance with IAS 34 to provide comparability in the presentation between quarters. The interim management statement includes a Message from the CEO, even if this is not a requirement of Nasdaq Stockholm's guidance. The information is nevertheless deemed important in satisfying user needs.
For balance sheet items, figures in parentheses refer to previous year-end figures. For income statement and cash flow items, they refer to the same period previous year.
Management's assessment is that new and amended standards and interpretations that came into force in 2025 have not had a material effect on the Group's financial statements. Management's assessment is that new and amended standards and interpretations that have not yet come into effect will not have a material effect on the Group's financial statements for the period of initial application.
The company has an incentive program for all employees based partly on the company's sales and profit and partly on individual targets. The maximum bonus is equal to 12% of annual salary. In addition to this program, BioGaia has also implemented an employee stock option program ("LTIP 2024") and a performance share program ("LTIP 2025"). The programs have been approved by the Annual General Meeting.
490,000 Employee Stock Options ("options") were granted on the 16th of March 2025 whereof 305,000 were granted to management. In the quarter 20 000 options forfeited due to termination of employment.
The options may be exercised for the subscription of Class B shares, in accordance with the terms for the options, provided that certain strategic and operational goals, set out by the board of directors, are achieved. The goals will be set by the board of directors in advance and will be linked to important events in the company's development such as the company's financial performance and fulfilment of the company's strategic goals.
The determination of whether the vesting conditions have been met shall be made by the board of directors, whose decision shall be final and binding. Another requirement is also that the option holder remains employed until exercise of the options.
The exercise price amounts to SEK 143.83. The options are valued according to the Black-Scholes model with an expected volatility of 30.0% and an interest rate of 2.3%. This results in a value of SEK 11.02 per option.
332,500 Performance Share Awards ("awards") were allotted on the 8th of August 2025 whereof 170,000 were allotted to management. Each Performance Share Right ("rights") shall entitle the holder to receive Class B shares in the company free of charge upon achievement of the specific performance criteria after a performance period of approximately three years.
Below is a description on how each goal will be measured.
The operating margin represents 45% of the weighting in the Performance Share Plan ("plan"). The target will be measured between a threshold and maximum level over the program period, with linear distribution of instruments given outcomes between the two levels. Provided that the result is lower than the threshold level, no shares linked to the target will be distributed.
Sales increase represents 45% of the weighting in the plan. The target, like the operating margin target, will be measured between a threshold level, and a maximum level. Given an outcome scenario between the threshold and the maximum level, a linear assignment will be assigned to the participant. Provided that the threshold level is not reached, no shares will be paid to the participant.
ESG represents 10% of the weighting in the plan. Unlike the other targets in the program, the ESG target will be measured as an absolute hurdle. Upon fulfilment of the criterion, all shares will be allotted. If the hurdle would not be met, no shares will be allotted to the participant.
The shares are linked to the participant's employment with BioGaia. If the employment in BioGaia is terminated before they have been converted to shares, all the participant's unvested shares will be cancelled, with certain exceptions for customary "Good Leaver" situations.
The exercise price amounts to SEK 0.2. The shares are valued according to the Black-Scholes model with an expected volatility of 30.0% and an interest rate of 2.0%. This results in a value of SEK 80.16 per share.
The programs are reported in accordance with IFRS 2, which means that the rights are measured on the grant date at the fair value of allotted equity instruments.
For LTIP 2024 the costs are SEK 0.4 million in the quarter including social security costs, and the estimated total cost amounts to SEK 5.0 million based on the valuation at grant date, review of performance criteria and an employee turnover of 10%.
For LTIP 2025 the costs are SEK 0.8 million in the quarter including social security costs, and the estimated total cost amounts to SEK 15.9 million based on the valuation at grant date, review of performance criteria and an employee turnover of 10%.
Further details about the programs are available on biogaiagroup.com under Annual General Meetings 2024 and 2025.
If all options are exercised for subscription of new shares in the LTIP 2024 program this means a possible dilution of existing shareholders by 0.46%. The options are not in the money and are thus not impacting the average number of shares after dilution and earnings per share as of September 30, 2025.
The maximum dilution effect of the LTIP 2025 program is estimated to amount to approximately 0.33% of the shares. The average number of shares after dilution is not affected as of September 30, 2025 and earnings per share is consequently not impacted.
BioGaia has a financial liability relating to the additional purchase price in business acquisitions that is measured at fair value through profit or loss. The additional purchase price is due to the acquisition of Nutraceutics and is based on sales in Nutraceutics in 2026 or 2027. The amount, which will be settled in April 2027 or 2028, may also be adjusted if the agreed budget for marketing costs is exceeded.
Revaluation took place during the third quarter of 2025 and BioGaia's best assessment of fair value of the financial liability related to the additional purchase price on 30 September 2025 was therefore adjusted to SEK 61.0 million.
Estimates of fair value are based on Level 3 of the hierarchy for fair value, which means fair value is determined using valuation models where significant inputs are based on unobservable data. The measurement was based on anticipated future cash flows discounted with a market-based interest rate. The value adjustment is recognized as a financial expense of SEK 2.2 million (1.9) during the quarter. The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) amounted to 12.5% (12.7% on 31 December 2024).

BioGaia owns shares in the companies Boneprox AB and Skinome AB through BioGaia Invest. These financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Estimates of fair value are based on Level 3 of the hierarchy for fair value, which means fair value is determined using valuation models where significant inputs are based on unobservable data.
The fair values of other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, trade payables and other liabilities are estimated to be equal to their carrying amounts (amortized cost) due to the short maturities.

A list of definitions of key ratios reported in the consolidated financial statements is provided on page 164 of BioGaia's annual report for 2024. In this report, BioGaia reports information used by Executive Management to assess the Group's development. Some of the key ratios presented are not defined according to IFRS. The company is of the opinion that these metrics provide valuable complementary information to stakeholders and the company's management since they contribute to evaluation of relevant trends and the company's performance. Since not all companies calculate
key ratios in the same manner, these are not always comparable to metrics used by other companies. These key ratios should therefore not be seen as a replacement for metrics defined according to IFRS. ESMA's guidelines on alternative performance measures are applied, which means extended disclosure requirements regarding key ratios not defined according to IFRS. A reconciliation of key ratios that BioGaia considers relevant according to these guidelines is provided below.
| Key ratio | Definition/calculation | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Adjusted operating margin | Adjusted operating margin excluding items affecting comparability. | The adjusted measure provides enhanced understanding of the performance of operations. |
| Adjusted operating profit | Operating profit (earnings before financial items and tax) excluding items affecting comparability. | The adjusted measure provides enhanced understanding of the performance of operations. |
| Average number of shares | Time-weighted number of outstanding shares during the year taking bonus issue elements into account. | Used to calculate equity and earnings per share. |
| Capital employed | Total assets less interest-free liabilities. | Capital employed measures the company's ability, in addition to cash and liquid assets, to meet the requirements of business operations. |
| Earnings per share | Profit for the period attributable to owners of the Parent Company divided by the average number of shares (definition according to IFRS). | EPS measures how much of net profit is available for payment to the shareholders as dividends per share. |
| Equity/assets ratio | Shareholders' equity at the end of the period as a percentage of total assets. | A traditional metric to show financial risk expressed as the share of total assets financed by the shareholders. Shows the company's stability and ability to withstand losses. |
| Equity per share | Equity attributable to the owners of the Parent Company divided by the average number of shares. | Equity per share measures the company's net value per share and indicates whether a company will increase the shareholders' wealth over time. |
| Gross margin | Gross profit as a percentage of net sales. | The gross margin is used to measure profitability. |
| Growth | Sales for the period less sales for the year- earlier period divided by sales for the year- earlier period. Breakdown by foreign exchange, organic growth and acquisitions. |
Shows the company's realized sales growth over time. |
| Items affecting comparability | Expenses in conjunction with restructuring, impairment and other items of a nature that affect comparability. | The separate recognition of items that affect comparability between different periods provides enhanced understanding of the company's financial performance. |
| Operating margin (EBIT margin) |
Operating profit expressed as a percentage of net sales. | The operating margin is used to measure operational profitability. |
| Profit before tax margin | Profit before tax as a percentage of net sales. | This key ratio makes it possible to compare profitability regardless of the corporate income tax. |
| Return on capital employed | Profit before net financial items plus financial income as a percentage of average capital employed. | Return on capital employed is used to analyze profitability, based on the amount of capital used. |
| Return on equity | Profit attributable to the owners of the Parent Company divided by average equity attributable to the owners of the Parent Company. |
Return on equity is used to measure profit generation, over time, given the resources attributable to the owners of the Parent Company. |

BioGaia is a Swedish world-leading probiotic company that has been at the forefront of microbiome research for more than 35 years. Our vision is to be the most trusted probiotic brand in the world. We develop, manufacture, market, and sell probiotic products for gut, oral, and immune health. The products are primarily based on different strains of the lactic acid bacterium Limosilactobacillus reuteri, L. reuteri (formerly Lactobacillus).
The class B shares of the Parent Company BioGaia AB are quoted on the Mid Cap List of Nasdaq Stockholm.
BioGaia has two types of distribution – sales through distribution partners and direct sales (subsidiaries). Most of BioGaia's revenue comes from the sale of gut health products, such as colic drops, immune- and oral health products. Revenues also include the sale of bacterial cultures to be used in licensee products, such as infant formula and dairy products, as well as royalties for the use of L. reuteri in licensee products. BioGaia's products are available in more than 100 countries through partnerships with nutrition and pharmaceutical companies, as well as through our own subsidiaries.
BioGaia's direct distribution, through subsidiaries, extends across nine countries (Sweden, Finland, France, the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan).
BioGaia holds patents for the use of certain strains of L. reuteri and certain packaging solutions in all major markets. At the end of 2024, BioGaia held more than 600 granted patents for various bacteria strains and territories.
BioGaia launched its own consumer brand in 2006. Today, several BioGaia's distribution partners sell finished products under the BioGaia brand in several markets. One important element of BioGaia's brand strategy is to increase the percentage of sales under the BioGaia brand. Of products (drops, tablets for gut and oral health, oral rehydration, etc.) sold in 2024, 92% (90%) were sold under the BioGaia brand including co-branding.
Some of BioGaia's distributors sell finished consumer products under their own brand names. On these products, the BioGaia brand is shown on the consumer package since BioGaia is both the manufacturer and licensor.
BioGaia's licensees add L. reuteri culture to their products and sell these under their own brand names. On these products, the BioGaia brand is most often shown on the package as the licensor/patent holder.
BioGaia's strains of L. reuteri are among the most studied in the world, in particular studies in young children, with strong pre-clinical and clinical evidence. As of December 2024, over 270 clinical studies with BioGaia's various strains of L. reuteri have been performed. These studies involved more than 23,000 individuals of all ages.
