"Second quarter sales performed as expected following a strong Q1 2021.

Quarterly volatility is more prominent due to a changing environment relating to

the Coronavirus pandemic and associated short-term demands in the supply chain

in all market segments ArcticZymes serves.

A new milestone was reached for two consecutive quarters, achieving >100 MNOK in

sales revenues for the last 12-months on a quarterly rolling basis. We are

delighted to achieve this and now focus our efforts on our next milestone, which

is to achieve 120 MNOK in annual sales revenues during 2021."
