ArcticZymes Technologies Q1 2025 Financial results

  • Total revenue for Q1 2025 was NOK 24.9 million, compared to NOK 30.0 million in Q1 2024.
  • Sales revenue amounted to NOK 23.3 million, primarily affected by a NOK 9 million decline in orders from a major OEM customer in the Molecular Tools segment compared to Q1 2024. Excluding this customer, sales grew by 12% year-on-year
  • EBITDA was NOK -3.7 million, compared to NOK 2.3 million in Q1 2024, reflecting ongoing investments in commercial transformation, IT systems, and foreign exchange effects.
  • Record order activity, with a total of 342 customer orders in Q1 2025, up from 301 in the same period last year. Orders were split between Biomanufacturing (205) and Molecular Tools (140), with some orders containing products from both portfolios.
  • The number of Biomanufacturing orders increased by 25%, while Molecular Tools orders rose by 3.7%, compared to Q1 2024.
  • Biomanufacturing momentum continues, with 107 biomanufacturing customers in Q1 and 227 unique customers over the past 12 months—both all-time highs.
  • U.S. market acceleration, with a 25% year on year sales increase, driven by increased activity in the cell and gene therapy (CGT) segment, particularly on the East Coast.
  • Strategic adoption of SAN HQ enzymes by a new U.S.-based CDMO for AAV manufacturing, with an additional CDMO currently evaluating M-SAN for integration in the second half of 2025
  • Sales within the Molecular Tools segment declined quarter-over-quarter, primarily due to reduction in order volumes from a major OEM customer. While this impacted short-term performance, the underlying demand drivers remain intact, and we continue to work closely with the partner to align future ordering patterns with their operational needs.
  • A poster highlighting the effectiveness of our salt-active nuclease in removing chromatin was presented at "BioProcess International" in Barcelona by our collaboration partner, Acib. This continues to strengthen our thought leadership position in the field of bioprocessing.

Key financial figures:

Introduction

ArcticZymes Technologies ASA, (hereinafter "AZT" or "the Company") provide high-quality enzymes for molecular research, diagnostics and biomanufacturing.

Business review

Commercial

Sales for Q1 2025 totalled NOK 23.3 million, compared to NOK 30.0 million in Q1 2024. The decline was primarily due to significantly lower ordering (approximately NOK 9 million) from a key account within the Molecular Tools segment.

The total number of orders in the quarter reached 342, an all-time high, up from 301 in the same period last year—an early indication that our investment in the commercial transformation is paving the way for revenue growth later in 2025 and into 2026.

Orders were split between Biomanufacturing (205) and Molecular Tools (140), with a few orders spanning both portfolios. Biomanufacturing orders increased by 25.6%, while Molecular Tools saw a 3.7% increase compared to Q1 2024.

From a regional perspective, revenue distribution remained well balanced: AMER accounted for 48%, EMEA for 41%, and APAC for 10% of total revenues.

The commercial transformation is progressing well, with the expanding biomanufacturing customer base serving as a strong early signal of momentum, even in a market facing significant macroeconomic challenges. While initial order sizes remain modest and competition is increasing, the continued traction highlights the strength of our salt-active nuclease portfolio and establishes a solid foundation for long-term growth.

Biomanufacturing

Biomanufacturing revenues reached NOK 13.6 million contributing 58% of total Q1 2025 sales. Encouragingly, the Biomanufacturing customer base continues to expand, reaching an all-time high of 227 unique customers over the last 12M, and 107 for the quarter.

The average order value declined by 5.2% compared to Q1 2024 reflecting an increase in smaller-sized orders for early phase projects.

Unique customers per quarter - Biomanufacturing

Molecular Tools

Molecular Tools revenue was NOK 9.7 million, contributing 42% of total Q1 2025 sales. The customer base growth remained flat, with 199 unique customers over the last 12M and 87 for the quarter.

Unique customers per quarter – Molecular Tools

The average order value declined by 49.9% compared to Q1 2024 reflecting a significant decrease in larger-sized orders from a key account.

Strategic initiatives

Partnerships are a key pillar of ArcticZymes' growth strategy, particularly within the biomanufacturing segment. Our M-SAN product is currently being implemented into the production protocol of a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), with first revenues expected in Q2. In parallel, SAN HQ has been successfully integrated into another leading CDMO's platform. These strategic collaborations are expected to drive recurring revenue streams and support broader market penetration over time.

In the OEM channel, a recent audit by a potential partner concluded positively without significant findings. However, the collaboration was not pursued further due to technical and operational challenges on the partner's side in marketing SAN HQ neo under a private label. We are currently conducting technical and operational due diligence with other OEM prospects. We remain

confident in establishing partnerships that allow for joint technical and quality support, enabling scale and long-term value creation for ArcticZymes.

Financial review

AZT reported sales of NOK 23.3 million for the first quarter of 2025 (Q1 2024: 30.0 M). Earnings before tax, interest, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) were NOK -3.7 million (Q1 2024: 2.3 M) and net profit was NOK 3.1 million (Q1 2024: 3.2 M) in the quarter. Net financial income was a profit of NOK 1.9 million (Q1 2023: 3.3 M).

The Company recognised NOK 1.0 million in grant related revenues from the "Advanced

therapies enzyme project" funded by the Research Council of Norway during the first quarter. In addition, NOK 0.3 million related to tax grants was recognised in Q1 2025.

Operating expenses were increased by NOK 0.9 million in Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024 or from NOK 27.7 to NOK 28.6 million.

  • Personnel expenses are increased from NOK 18.0 million to 18.8 million as we invested in commercial transformation. Salaries for Norwegian personnel is reduced by NOK 1.2 million compared to last year (Oslo office closure in Q1 2024). We have also capitalised less on projects (NOK 1.2 million less) in the beginning of the year compared to the start of last year, resulting in higher personnel cost for the quarter.
  • Property, plant and equipment is lower in the Q1 this year compared to last year as we have spent less on rent due to closure of Oslo office and a lower spend on operational equipment such as chemicals.
  • IT expenses are increased by almost NOK 0.2 million in the quarter
  • External services are lower than last year as the ERP project is finalised. There are however still some expenses in the Q1 (NOK 0.4 million) related to support early in the year.
  • Currency has impacted other operating expense negatively in the quarter. In Q1 2024, we had a positive contribution (reduction of expenses) of NOK 0.5 million whereas in Q1 2025 we had a loss of 0.6 MNOK (increasing expenses) resulting in a net delta of NOK 1.1 million,

If we only adjust operating expense for currency effects our operating expenses would have been NOK 0.2 lower in the first quarter this year compared to last year.

Taxes

For Q1 2025, the Company recognised NOK - 0.9 million (Q1 2024: 0.9 M) in tax expenses which will be added to deferred tax assets. The Company had NOK 4.7 million in deferred tax assets at the end of Q1 2025.

Financial position

Total equity amounted to NOK 322.3 million at the end of Q1 2025 compared to NOK 313.6 million at the end of Q1 2024.

Total assets were NOK 343.3 million at the end of Q1 2025, up from NOK 342.8 million at the end of Q1 2024.

The Company has no interest-bearing debt.

Cash flow

Net cash flow from operating activities was NOK -0.5 million for the 3-month period of 2025, compared to NOK -4.2 million in the same period in 2024. The difference is primarily explained by changes in working capital.

Cash flow from investing activities was NOK -0.8 million in the first quarter. This is primarily explained by NOK 0.7 million in investments classified as intangible assets.

Cash flow from financing activities was NOK –0.9 million in Q1 2025 explained by payments on lease liabilities (premises).

Changes in cash and cash equivalents was NOK - 2.2 million for the quarter. This generated a cash balance of NOK 168.8 million at the end of the quarter, compared to NOK 173.0 million at the end of Q1 2024.

NOK 73.9 million in low risk, liquid interest rate funds is classified as other assets.

Cash and STI position

Shareholder matters

The total number of issued shares was 51,071,390 at the end of the quarter.

1,030,000 options are outstanding as of 31.03.2025.

See the annual report for 2024 and notes 9 and 11 in the Q1 2025 financial statement for further details on option programs.

Outlook

The significant investment to upgrade our Salt Active Nucleases (SANs) to GMP grade is being well received, positioning us to support customers in the later stages of drug development and deepening our role in regulated biomanufacturing workflows. This also allows us to onboard more customers in the early phases as they know we can support them long term as well. In Q2, we will complete this regulatory upgrade campaign with the launch of M-SAN HQ GMP.

With the GMP transition nearing completion, we are now shifting our strategic focus toward expanding our enzyme portfolio beyond cell and gene therapy. This expansion is already underway with the development of ET-N1, a new RNA restriction enzyme, which will open additional opportunities for growth in adjacent markets.

ArcticZymes' commercial transformation continues to gain traction. A growing and increasingly diversified customer base, particularly within biomanufacturing, is laying the foundation for long-term growth. The Company's strategy of engaging customers early in their process development is proving effective, especially as enzyme adoption during the early stages of platform design tends to result in longterm integration and recurring business. CDMOs, therapeutic and diagnostic developers standardizing AZT enzymes in their manufacturing workflows represent a key growth lever.

Note 4 Alternative Performance Measures

EBITDA & EBIT

EBITDA is widely used by investors when evaluating and comparing businesses, and provides an analysis of the operating results excluding depreciation and amortisation. The non-cash elements depreciation and amortization may vary significantly between companies depending on the value and type of assets.

The definition of EBITDA is "Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization" and EBIT is "Earnings Before Interest and Taxes". The reconciliation to the IFRS accounts is as follows:

Note 5 Taxes

The calculation of deferred tax asset and tax expense as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 is based on a tax rate of 22%. The deferred tax asset is increased with NOK 0.9 million due to changes in tax loss in the period. The deferred tax asset was NOK 4.7 million as of March 31, 2025. The basis for recognition of a tax asset are the expected future profits according to the assumption that temporary differences for the coming years will be reversed. For further information refer to note 12 in the Annual report for 2024.

Short-term leases

The Group also lease computers and IT equipment with contract terms from 1 to 3 years. The Group has decided not to recognise leases where the underlying asset has a low value, and thus does not recognise lease obligations and lease assets for any of these assetes. Instead, payments for leases are expensed when they occur.

Overhead expenses related to premises in contracts are expensed when they occur.

Total leased assets inc. in other op. expenses 395 612 1 627
Overhead expenses related to premises 174 521 1 314
Lease of IT equipment 221 91 313

Historically, the group has not incurred losses on accounts receivable. Based on this and the fact that there were insignificant losses in 2024, and we expect no material future losses, no provisions for losses were made in Q1.
