Introduction
ArcticZymes Technologies ASA, (hereinafter "AZT" or "the Company") provide high-quality enzymes for molecular research, diagnostics and biomanufacturing.
Business review
Commercial
Sales for Q2 2025 totalled NOK 26.8 million, compared to NOK 26.5 million in Q2 2024.
Total orders for H1-2025 rose 1% year-over-year (679 vs 672), with Biomanufacturing up 12% and molecular Tools down 9% (259 vs 284). Orders decreased in Q2-2025 compared to Q2-2024, mainly due to fewer Molecular Tools orders. Biomanufacturing orders remained stable. Total orders: 339 vs 375 (-10%).
Revenue distribution: Biomanufacturing accounted for approximately 68% of total product revenue (NOK 18.1 million of NOK 26.8 million), while Molecular Tools represented 32% (NOK 8.7 million).
Geographical distribution: North America accounted for approximately 64% of product revenue (NOK 17.2 million), EMEA 32% (NOK 8.5 million), and APAC 4% (NOK 1.1 million).
The commercial transformation is progressing well, with the expanding biomanufacturing customer base and order activity serving as indicators of momentum, even amid ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.


Biomanufacturing
Biomanufacturing revenues reached NOK 18.1 million contributing 68% of total Q2 2025 sales. Biomanufacturing momentum continues in Q2, growing 52% YoY to NOK 18.1 million. H1 2025 (31.1 MNOK) is the strongest first half since 2022 (33.6 MNOK).
In the Biomanufacturing segment, the Company recorded 108 unique customers in Q2 2025, compared to 111 in Q2 2024 (-3%). However, the number of paying biomanufacturing customers increased from 102 to 105, marking a +3% improvement. The average order value in the biomanufacturing segment is up by 48% versus Q2 2024, reflecting some larger orders for customer projects.

Molecular Tools
Molecular Tools revenue was NOK 8.7 million, contributing 32% of total Q2 2025 sales. In the Molecular Tools segment, the number of unique customers declined to 79 in Q2 2025 from 99 in Q2 2024 (-20%), and the number of paying customers decreased to 67 from 86 (-22%).

Strategic initiatives
Strategic partnerships remain a core pillar of ArcticZymes' growth strategy, particularly within the biomanufacturing segment. In Q2, AZT recognized initial revenues from the CDMO partner implementing M-SAN into their production protocol. Additionally, SAN HQ continues to be used in another leading CDMO's platform. These collaborations have now transitioned into revenue-generating phases and are expected to deliver recurring income and accelerate market penetration throughout the second half of 2025 and beyond. However, the real impact in expected from 2026 and onwards.

Financial review
AZT reported sales of NOK 26.8 million for the second quarter of 2025 (Q2 2024: 26.5 M). Earnings before tax, interest, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) were NOK 3.9 million (Q2 2024: 2.6 M) and net profit was NOK 3.3 million (Q2 2024: 2.7 M) in the quarter. Net financial income was a profit of NOK 2.3 million (Q2 2024: 2.3 M).
For the first 6 months of 2025, AZT reported sales of NOK 50.0 million (H1 2024: 56.5 M). Earnings before tax, interest, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) were NOK 0.1 million (H1 2024: 4.9 M) and a net profit of NOK 0.2 million (H1 2024: 5.8 M). Net financial income was a profit of NOK 4.3 million (H1 2024: 5.6 M).

The Company recognised NOK 1.5 million in grant related revenues from the "Advanced therapies enzyme project" funded by the
Research Council of Norway during the second quarter. In addition, NOK 0.6 million related to tax grants was recognised in Q2 2025.
Operating expenses were unchanged from Q2 2025 compared to Q2 2024 at NOK 25.0 million.
- Personnel expenses are increased from NOK 12.9 million to 13.7 million as we invested in the commercial transformation. We have also capitalised less on projects (NOK 0.4 million less) during the quarter compared to last year, resulting in higher personnel cost.
- Property, plant and equipment is marginal lower in the Q2 this year compared to last year as we have spent less on operational equipment such as chemicals.
- IT expenses are decreased by almost NOK 0.8 million in the quarter due to credit notes from previous IT supplier and in general lower expenses.
- External services are NOK 0.1 higher than last year. NOK 2.3 million of the NOK 3.3 million in external services are related to external work on grant projects.
- Recognised a loss of NOK 0.7 million related to trade receivables on two invoices.
- Currency has impacted other operating expense negatively in the second quarter as well. We had a loss of NOK 0.2 million compared to a loss of NOK 0.1 million in the same period last year.
Adjusting for currency effects, operating expenses for the first six months of 2025 were NOK 1.0 million lower than in the same period of 2024.
Taxes
For Q2 2025, the Company recognised NOK 0.7 million (Q2 2024: 0.8 M) in tax expenses which will be offset against deferred tax assets. The Company had NOK 4.0 million in deferred tax assets at the end of Q2 2025.


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 30.06.2025.
See the annual report for 2024 and notes 9 and 11 in the Q2 2025 financial statement for further details on option programs.
Financial position
Total equity amounted to NOK 326.5 million at the end of Q2 2025 compared to NOK 317.5 million at the end of Q2 2024.
Total assets were NOK 349.3 million at the end of Q2 2025, up from NOK 345.3 million at the end of Q1 2024.
The Company has no interest-bearing debt.
Cash flow
Net cash flow from operating activities was NOK 5.2 million for the first 6 months of 2025, compared to NOK -3.7 million in the same period in 2024. The difference is primarily explained by net profit and changes in working capital.
Cash flow from investing activities was NOK -2.5 million in the first 6 months quarter. This is primarily explained by NOK -2.2 million in investments classified as intangible assets.
Cash flow from financing activities was NOK – 1.9 million in the first half of 2025 explained by payments on lease liabilities (premises).
Changes in cash and cash equivalents was NOK 0.8 million for the first half of 2025. This generated a cash balance of NOK 171.8 million at the end of the quarter, compared to NOK 170.3 million at the end of Q2 2024. In addition the Company has NOK 75.0 million in low risk, liquid interest rate funds is classified as other assets.

Outlook
ArcticZymes Technologies' strategic investment in upgrading its Salt Active Nucleases (SANs) to GMP-grade formats is already delivering results. The successful Q2 launch of M‑SAN HQ GMP marks the completion of this regulatory upgrade initiative and significantly strengthens the Company's positioning within regulated biomanufacturing workflows. Importantly, it enhances AZT's value proposition for customers at the earliest stages of process development offering continuity and confidence as they progress toward clinical and commercial phases.
Expanding the enzyme portfolio for advanced therapies remains a core strategic priority. As previously communicated, the first enzyme in the development pipeline is an RNA restriction enzyme, aimed at addressing unmet needs in RNA-based workflows.
In parallel, the Company is actively developing the metagenomics market for its SAN portfolio, focusing on applications such as host cell DNA depletion. Broadening the usage of existing enzymes in this area is a current commercial priority. Looking ahead, AZT also plans to expand its Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) portfolio by developing new enzymes tailored for this growing field.
To support these ambitions, the Company will continue investing in a world-class commercial organization and execution capabilities, ensuring it is well-positioned to capitalize on its expanding product portfolio and evolving market opportunities.

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:
