Introduction
ArcticZymes Technologies ASA, (hereinafter "AZT" or "the Company") provide high-quality enzymes for molecular research, diagnostics and biomanufacturing.
Business review
Commercial
Sales performance: Sales reached NOK 34.1 million in Q4, up 39% from NOK 24.5 million in the same quarter last year, making this the strongest quarter since Q1 2022. For the full year 2025, sales totalled NOK 112.6 million, up 8% from NOK 104.4 million in 2024, reflecting a staggered revenue growth profile with a strong year-end acceleration.
AZT had more orders in Q4-2025 than in Q4- 2024, driven by an increase in orders for HL-SAN and M-SAN HQ as well as ELISA kits. Total number of orders were 312 in Q4 2025 vs 304 in Q4 last year.
Revenue distribution: Molecular Tools accounted for approximately 55% of total product revenue (NOK 18.9 million of NOK 34.1 million), while Biomanufacturing represented 45% (NOK 15.2 million).
Revenue distribution (Q4): EMEA accounted for approximately 54% of total sales, followed by the Americas (AMER) at approximately 41%, while APAC represented the remaining ~5% of revenues.

Biomanufacturing
Biomanufacturing revenues reached NOK 15.2 million, representing 45% of total Q4 2025 sales. The segment continued to demonstrate solid underlying momentum, driven by strong penetration among CDMO customers.
For the full year 2025, Biomanufacturing sales grew 23% compared with 2024. Sales of the SAN portfolio reached their second-highest annual level, surpassed only by the record year 2022.
As previously communicated, ArcticZymes is in the early phases of platform integration at two large global CDMOs. These integrations contributed to revenue growth in Q4 2025 and are expected to continue to support growth throughout 2026.
GMP-grade products continued to gain traction, with sales increasing by approximately 106% compared with Q4 2024. This performance validates the Company's strategic decision to launch GMP variants. GMP-grade products are
{3}------------------------------------------------

expected to remain an important growth driver, enabling customers to progress into later stages of drug development.
The customer diversification has continued to be de-risked, with the number of unique customers increasing to 113 for the full year, up from 105 in the prior year.

Table: Biomanufacturing unique customers
Molecular Tools
The Molecular Tools segment delivered a very solid quarter, with revenues increasing by approximately 55% to NOK 18.9 million, compared with NOK 12.2 million in Q4 2024. Growth was not only driven by higher sales to a major key account, but critically for future improved revenue stability, it was combined with a broad-based increase in sales to other customers.
Molecular Tools accounted for 55% of total Q4 2025 sales. For the full year 2025, Molecular Tools revenue ended 6% below 2024, primarily reflecting lower purchasing activity from a key account, which reduced its purchases by 37% year-on-year. Strong sales growth across other life science customers largely offset this decline, despite the number of unique customers declining to 67, from 83 in the prior year. Metagenomic growth is expected to reverse this trend going forward.

Strategic initiatives
Commercial platform strengthened: The commercial organization is now fully built out for the current phase, following the addition of a West Coast Business Development Manager and a dedicated Channel Manager overseeing global distribution partners. The team is supported by a strong marketing function, providing a scalable platform going into 2026.
In parallel, AZT advanced its selective channel strategy, including the establishment of a strategic distribution partnership with Brenntag AG to complement its direct market presence and enhance customer access and local support. The Company remains open to additional selective channel partnerships where these strengthen reach and service quality. Direct sales will continue to be a core element of AZT's commercial model, ensuring close customer relationships and strong market engagement. Together, these initiatives support AZT's longterm ambition to expand its global reach and deepen its presence across key life science markets.
Looking ahead to 2026, AZT will place increased emphasis on innovation, with a particular focus on RNA enzymes supporting in vitro transcription (IVT) workflows. Innovation is expected to play an increasingly important role in driving future growth, supported by both internal innovation efforts and selective collaborations and
{4}------------------------------------------------

partnerships that accelerate access to complementary capabilities and applications.

- Property, plant and equipment is on same levels as experienced in previous quarters with NOK 0.9 million.
- IT expenses are decreased by almost NOK 0.7 million to NOK 1.1 million in the quarter due to lower software expenses.
- External services are NOK 1.5 million lower than last year as the ERP project from 2024 does not carry any cost anymore. NOK 1.5 million was expensed on ERP project in Q4 2024.
- NOK 1.0 million of Q4 expenses are external work on grant related projects.
- Currency has impacted other operating expenses negatively by NOK 0.2 million

Outlook
ArcticZymes' transformation into a more customer-centric and commercially focused organization progressed materially during 2025 and is expected to support sustained growth over the long term. During the year, the Company strengthened its commercial execution and market coverage, including the establishment of a strategic distribution partnership with Brenntag AG, enhancing customer access and local support within selected biomanufacturing markets. Direct sales remain a core pillar of ArcticZymes' go-tomarket model, ensuring strong customer relationships and close market engagement.
Looking ahead, ArcticZymes continues to expand the market opportunity for its existing and enhanced enzyme portfolio, including broader deployment of Salt Active Nucleases (SANs) across advanced therapy workflows. In parallel, diversification remains a key strategic priority, both through expanding the range of applications served by existing enzymes and through the introduction of new enzymatic solutions. Application reach is increasing into adjacent growth areas, with metagenomics representing a particularly important focus, where ArcticZymes' enzymes are seeing growing adoption and market acceptance.
From 2025 and into 2026, innovation activities are expected to play a more prominent role in driving future growth. This includes a strategic focus on RNA enzymes supporting in vitro transcription (IVT) workflows, alongside continued innovation within metagenomics applications. Innovation will be pursued through a combination of internal development efforts and selective partnerships and collaborations, enabling efficient access to complementary capabilities and accelerated application development.
With a strengthened commercial platform, a growing innovation agenda, an increasingly diversified application footprint, and a disciplined channel strategy, ArcticZymes has established a
solid foundation for continued growth. The Company believes this puts us in a strong position to drive further expansion in 2026 and beyond, supported by increasing customer adoption across core and adjacent life science markets.

Note 5 Taxes
The calculation of deferred tax asset and tax expense as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025 is based on a tax rate of 22%. The deferred tax asset is decreased with NOK 2,3 million due to changes in tax loss in the period. The deferred tax asset was NOK 1,5 million as of December 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.
