Introduction

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

Business review

Commercial

Sales performance: Q1 2026 was a strong quarter driven by above-average sales in both Molecular Tools and Biomanufacturing. Total sales development was strong year-on-year, increasing by 36%.

Biomanufacturing sales increased by +11% YoY to NOK 15.1 million, while Molecular Tools sales increased by 72% YoY to NOK 16.6 million. Growth in the quarter was driven primarily by Molecular Tools, while Biomanufacturing growth was supported by strong development in the M-SAN HQ product family.

Order development: ArcticZymes recorded more orders in Q1 2026 than in Q1 2025. Total orders up to 347 from 340. The increase was driven by higher order activity in M-SAN HQ and M-SAN HQ ELISA kits. Order growth was strongest in Biomanufacturing.

Revenue distribution: In Q1 2026, Molecular Tools accounted for approximately 52% of sales, with NOK 16.6 million, while Biomanufacturing accounted for approximately 48%, with NOK 15.1 million. Both portfolios performed above their historical quarterly averages, with Molecular Tools benefiting from a particularly strong quarter and Biomanufacturing delivering solid year-on-year growth.

Biomanufacturing

Biomanufacturing revenues reached NOK 15.1 million and continued to develop positively in Q1 2026, driven primarily by strong momentum in the M-SAN HQ product family. Both M-SAN HQ and M-SAN HQ ELISA delivered very strong yearon-year growth in the quarter, while the remainder of the portfolio developed more softly. The quarter also reflected continued progress in customer workflow penetration, supported by demand from direct customers as well as distributors and resellers.

Biomanufacturing: Unique Customers per Q1

Molecular Tools

Molecular Tools delivered a strong recovery and growth, with sales of NOK 16.6 million, up 72% YoY. The prior-year comparable was affected by customer order timing, and while the low base contributed to the percentage gain, the underlying volume increase reflects genuine commercial momentum that is expected to continue throughout the year. Growth was supported by increased volumes from established OEM relationships with recurring order visibility through 2026, as well as healthy contributions from direct accounts across research and diagnostic applications.

The strongest product sales development was seen in dsDNases, rSAP + ExoI and Cod UNG.

Strategic Initiatives

During Q1 2026, ArcticZymes continued to execute on the strategic priorities presented at the Capital Markets Day in March 2026, centred on building a scalable enzyme platform with growing penetration across critical customer workflows.

Innovation focus — RNA enzymes

Looking ahead through 2026, ArcticZymes will continue to strengthen its innovation focus, with particular emphasis on RNA enzymes for in vitro transcription workflows. Over time, innovation within the RNA space is expected to become an important contributor to growth, supported by both internal development efforts and selective collaborations and partnerships that broaden access to complementary capabilities and applications.

Channel strategy — broadening market access

In parallel, the Company is advancing a channel strategy designed to extend the commercial reach of its enzyme portfolio beyond direct accounts. Work is progressing with selected partners — including Brenntag and a focused set of regional distributors in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region — to ensure broad and reliable access to ArcticZymes' products across geographies and customer segments. This partner-led model complements the Company's direct sales engagement with strategic accounts, accelerates time-to-customer in markets where local presence is essential, and creates a scalable route to serve a wider base of research, diagnostic and biomanufacturing customers without proportionate growth in fixed cost.

Financial review

AZT reported sales of NOK 31.8 million for the first quarter of 2026 (Q1 2025: 23.3 M). Earnings before tax, interest, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) were NOK 1.6 million (Q1 2025: -3.7 M) and net profit was NOK 0.6 million (Q1 2025: -3.1 M) in the quarter.

Outlook

ArcticZymes enters 2026 with a clear strategic framework and strengthened commercial foundation, having outlined at its Capital Markets Day in March the priorities and financial ambition that will guide the business through 2026–2028. The Company's focus is disciplined: scale a highperformance commercial engine, deepen penetration in high-value workflows, and build RNA therapeutics as a third structural growth pillar alongside its established Molecular Tools and Viral Vector franchises.

In Viral Vector manufacturing, ArcticZymes continues to accelerate market penetration of its Salt Active Nuclease portfolio. Validated inprocess data demonstrates that M-SAN HQ can reduce nuclease usage by more than 75%, cut processing time by approximately three hours per batch, and deliver over 40% lower cost per dose compared to conventional nuclease approaches - outcomes that translate directly to customer margins and regulatory confidence.

In Molecular Tools, the Company is expanding its NGS franchise through targeted positioning across the metagenomics workflow, where its nuclease solutions have demonstrated clinical utility across blood, lung, urine, and CNS sample types. The growing body of peer-reviewed evidence - including 645 citations since 2019 and active use across seven NHS hospital intensive care unit sites - provides a credible scientific

platform from which to drive broader commercial adoption.

RNA therapeutics represents the Company's most significant medium-term growth opportunity. The in vitro transcription workflow, templated DNA digestion, and quality control steps present multiple high-value enzyme positions in a market growing at approximately 13% annually from a ~\$13 billion base. ArcticZymes is building and launching a portfolio of enzymes for this workflow with novel RNA enzyme launches planned for the QC market as an entry point.

The financial logic underlying this strategy is compelling. With stable gross margins and a largely fixed cost base, revenue growth translates directly into EBITDA expansion without requiring proportional cost investment. With 265 MNOK in cash, no debt, and a 94% equity ratio, the balance sheet provides both stability and optionality for selective, value-accretive expansion where strategically aligned.

ArcticZymes' ambition is sustainable double-digit growth, targeting outperformance of its served markets through disciplined commercial execution, increasing workflow penetration, and compounding operating leverage.

The Company is mindful of the broader geopolitical and macroeconomic environment, including evolving trade policy, tariff developments and currency volatility, which may introduce variability in customer ordering patterns and cross-border logistics. ArcticZymes is actively monitoring these dynamics and maintains a diversified geographic and customer footprint, established commercial partnerships, and operational flexibility that together support resilience. The Company will continue to assess the situation and adapt its commercial and operational planning as conditions evolve.

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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 is based on a tax rate of 22%. The deferred tax asset is decreased with NOK 0,07 million due to changes in tax loss in the period. The deferred tax asset was NOK 1,6 million as of March 31, 2026. 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.

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.
