Evolving Commercial Processes and Culture

Q1 2025 – All time high in customer numbers

Early indication of customer centric transformation

Unique customers reached their highest level in recent years, driven by biomanufacturing growth

Biomanufacturing

  • Orders increase, customer base continues to grow across NA and EMEA
  • Increase in both opportunities made and customer pipeline stage progression

Molecular Tools

  • Orders and customer base contracting, with stable AOV
  • Lower demand from key Life Science and Diagnostic customers impacted sales

Biomanufacturing Q1

Partnerships Biomanufacturing

CDMO opportunities

Becoming the standard nuclease on a CDMO platform

  • Trend in the CGT space a return to the CDMO model
  • Trough partnerships with CDMOs we will expand our reach significantly into several projects/clients
  • M-SAN and SAN has been tested in an initial studies with good data outcome at CDMOs
  • M-SAN enhances
    • Downstream recovery
    • Reduces DNA contamination
    • Minimizes vector aggregation, leading to cleaner, higher-quality lentiviral vectors
  • Two CDMOs staring Q2/3 to implement SAN on their platforms

RNA based therapeutics

Targeting a broader Advanced Therapies Market

  • Enzymes are key in development, analytics and manufacturing process of mRNA
  • AZT is now exploring new innovations in the field of RNA therapeutics through RCN funded collaboration project.
  • First major innovation is a sequence specific RNA cleaving enzyme enabling controlled fragmentation of RNA
  • First patent filed February 7, 2023 further filing ongoing to secure broader IPR and lead market
  • Multiple applications are possible, currently testing use for improving analytic methods for mRNA
  • In contact with numerous companies with ongoing testing at 7 sites

Due to its large size, mRNA needs to be fragmented prior to analysis e.g. using LC-MS. ET-N1 can speed up and simplify the cleaving process prior to analysis.

Outlook 2025

The market

  • Opportunities plentiful in a dynamic macroeconomic environment
  • Dialogues with Biomanufacturing customers are many and positive
  • Still ground to cover SAN is still new to many

Customer centric transformation:

  • Customer base is expanding new all time high
  • Will continue to invest in organization and activities

CDMO platform partnerships:

  • Platform implementation at two CDMOs
  • Working on onboarding more

Product portfolio expansion:

  • New GMP grade nuclease will be launched mid 2025
  • RNA restriction enzyme ET-N1 has entered development phase

Confident in our ability to execute on our strategic priorities and create shareholder value
