Vision

BioPorto aspires to be a world leader in diagnostics that improves kidney health

Our Expertise

BioPorto is an IVD (in vitro diagnostic) company focused on developing actionable biomarker tests designed to help clinicians detect the onset of disease states and help direct appropriate management and therapies.

BioPorto applies its expertise in test and antibody development that focus on conditions within kidney health where there is significant unmet medical need, and where its tests may help to improve clinical and economic outcomes for patients, providers, and the healthcare ecosystem.

BioPorto develops, offers clinical education, collaboration and support for laboratories implementing our tests, both directly and through partnerships.

Letter to Our Shareholders

It is with great enthusiasm that I reflect on the remarkable milestones BioPorto achieved in 2024 — a year marked by significant accomplishments and strategic progress. After receiving FDA clearance for pediatric use in December 2023, we have focused on establishing a strong commercial platform and initiating the ProNephro AKI™ (NGAL) clinical trial for adults. These achievements are a direct result of the dedication of our employees, the unwavering support of our customers and collaborators, and the confidence our investors have in our growth strategy.

Establishing the Foundation

The first half of 2024 was dedicated to laying a strong foundation for our future success. We developed a comprehensive 5-year strategic plan, established a new executive management team, and secured the initial phase of our planned USD 20 million in funding. Launched in February 2024, our strategic plan outlines an ambitious path to significantly grow our revenues to over DKK 700m (app. USD 100m) by 2029, while achieving both Adjusted EBITDA positive and cash flow positive statuses. With a target of double-digit growth over the next few years, we aim to be cashflow-positive by the end of 2026 at the earliest.

Securing commercial traction in the US for clinical NGAL testing while driving sales in CE-marked countries is the core of our strategy. Additionally, initiating and submitting a US FDA application for NGAL's use in adults will unlock significant growth potential for the future. In 2024, we bolstered our executive management team and expanded our organization to deliver on these ambitious targets. Another highlight was the successful completion of an oversubscribed direct issue, raising USD 11.7 million. We aim to secure an additional USD 8.3 million in the first half of 2025.

Building the Commercial Platform

Driving NGAL growth is key to our strategy. Following FDA clearance of the pediatric indication, we strengthened our commercial setup, particularly in the US, by adding sales staff and medical liaisons to convert NGAL awareness into demand. Our efforts have yielded promising results, including the first standing order from a US hospital and representation in 9 out of the top 10 best children's hospitals in the US.

"As we progress, we are well-positioned to meet our 2025 milestones, including the enrolment of the first patient in the validation study planned for Q3 2025."

Despite the delay in the commercial launch of the NGAL test in the US, now expected in the first half of 2025, we remain optimistic and managed to grow US NGAL revenue by 34% in 2024 compared with 2023. A new partnership with Beckman Coulter, a leading global life sciences and diagnostics innovator, was signed towards the end of the year, which expands our commercial reach and marks a key milestone. Leveraging existing partnerships and establishing new ones, we aim to boost awareness of NGAL testing through Key Opinion Leaders and Medical Science Liaisons, solidifying its role in AKI risk assessment.

Initiation of ProNephro AKI (NGAL) for Adult Use in the US

The ProNephro AKI (NGAL) study for adult use commenced in early 2024, with a goal to submit to the FDA by the end of 2026. Key milestones have been met, including the enrolment of the first patient ahead of schedule in October 2024. As we progress, we are well-positioned to meet our 2025 milestones, including the enrolment of the first patient in the validation study planned for Q3 2025.

A Year of Growth

Financially, we grew our total business by 17% to DKK 36.2 million, with solid growth in NGAL revenues, particularly in the US. Although we fell short of our ambitious sales target of DKK 40 million, we achieved a significantly betterthan-expected Adjusted EBITDA loss of DKK 70.6 million, compared to the guided loss of DKK 75-90 million.

Looking Ahead

After a strong 2024, we look forward to continuing BioPorto's growth journey in 2025. In 2025, we expect revenue of DKK 45-60m corresponding to 24-66% growth, driven by NGAL sales, especially in the US. Together with our talented colleagues, we are excited to embark on this new year, confident in our business and committed to realizing our strategic goals.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Peter Mørch Eriksen Group Chief Executive Officer

Outlook for 2025

Expected revenue growth of 24-66% in 2025

In 2025, BioPorto is targeting a total revenue of DKK 45-60m which corresponds to a growth rate of 24-66% compared to 2024. Growth will be driven by increased sales of NGAL products – primarily in the US following the FDA clearance, supplemented by growth in the rest of the world. Revenue is expected to be back-end loaded, as US clinical commercialization of NGAL is expected to commence in the first half of 2025.

For 2025, an adjusted EBITDA* loss in the range DKK 75- 85m is expected. The higher expected loss results from higher marketing costs for ProNephro AKI (NGAL) in the US, and the cost of new clinical trials to support FDA clearance for ProNephro AKI (NGAL) for adults.

*Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) is an alternative measure of performance utilized by management, investors and investment analysts to evaluate and analyze the Company's results. Adjusted EBITDA excludes noncash share-based compensation and non-recurring costs (e.g., merger and acquisition integration costs).

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial measure that does not have a standard meaning prescribed by IFRS and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner and thus may not be comparable with such measure.

Aspirations Towards 2029

BioPorto expects that the US market for testing pediatric and young adult patients with FDA-cleared ProNephro AKI™ (NGAL) will be the strongest contributor to growth for BioPorto through 2026.

BioPorto also believes that success in the US market will drive use of NGAL for testing pediatric, young adult and adult patients throughout the rest of the world. As a result, BioPorto aspires to reach total revenue of DKK 80-125m (app. USD 12-18m)* by 2026. It is expected that BioPorto will become cash flow positive by the end of 2026 at the earliest.

Following a potential FDA clearance of ProNephro AKI (NGAL) for adult use in the US, which is expected in 2027, BioPorto's ambition is to reach and exceed DKK 700m (app. USD 100m) in revenue and be highly profitable by 2029.

The revenue growth journey will be contingent on several key levers:

  • Kidney damage biomarkers included in the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines in the first part of 2026
  • Entered strategic partnerships with the remaining three of the "Big 5" clinical chemistry instrument vendors, and ProNephro AKI (NGAL) commercialized on their key instruments
  • ProNephro AKI (NGAL) approved for adult use by FDA in 2027

While commercialization of The NGAL Assays will be the primary contributor for growth, BioPorto expects a stable revenue from its existing antibodies business.

Capital Requirements

BioPorto's financing will come from existing cash and the second round of the USD 20m funding target of approximately USD 8.3m on Nasdaq Copenhagen during the first half of 2025. This will enable the company to continue to fully exploit the growth and value creation potential.

Strategy

Unlocking a USD 3bn available market potential for NGAL tests

The vision is supported by a 5-year strategy plan with the target to unlock a total estimated global available market potential for NGAL Test of USD 3bn.

Based on the achievement of FDA clearance for ProNephro AKI™ NGAL in US for pediatrics and young adults (3 months to 21 years of age) in December 2023, BioPorto is effectively changing status from a diagnostic innovator and a researchbased company only to also being a commercial growth company, as reflected in the updated strategy plan for 2025-2029.

For the next two years (2025-2026), the key strategic priorities and core elements to the strategy include the further development of the commercial platform by expanding the use of ProNephro AKI™ (NGAL) tests in the US for pediatrics and young adults and increase sales of NGAL test for adults in the rest of the world (ROW), and the preparation and submission of the application for ProNephro AKI™ (NGAL) test for adult use to the FDA.

THE THREE CORE ELEMENTS OF THE STRATEGY IN 2025-2026 ARE TO:

Expand the use of ProNephro AKI™ (NGAL) tests in US for pediatrics and young adults 1

Increase sales of NGAL tests for adults in the rest of the world (ROW) 2

3

Prepare and submit US FDA application for ProNephro AKI™ (NGAL) test for adults

Expand the use of ProNephro AKI™ (NGAL) in US for pediatrics and young adults

Commercial Strategy

In the US, BioPorto currently generates revenue from The NGAL Test for research use only (RUO). With the FDA clearance for US marketing of the test for pediatrics and young adults successfully received in December 2023, the primary focus in 2025 is to prepare and execute the US commercial launch of ProNephro AKI™ (NGAL) on the Roche Cobas® c 501 analyzer.

The initial pillars of the commercial platform have been established ahead of the commercial launch in the US. During 2024, BioPorto initiated building the commercial organization, particularly in the US, by adding sales staff and medical liaisons to convert NGAL awareness into demand.

BioPorto's initial focus with The NGAL Test product family is in the pediatric intensive care (ICU) setting, followed by expansion into new settings such as nephrotoxicity (toxicity in the kidneys) monitoring and testing in emergency departments (ECU).

The primary target accounts and customers for BioPorto's commercial activities are nephrologists, cardiologists, intensivists and laboratory directors at large hospitals and medical centers.

The commercial strategy for the pediatric launch of ProNephro AKI (NGAL) has three focus areas:

1. Peer-to-Peer Education

Leveraging KOLs and other experts to describe the value of using NGAL in daily practice to other doctors through grand round presentations, events, webinars, testimonials, and presentations at scientific meetings.

2. Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs)

Having a dedicated MSL team is critical to furthering deep clinical discussions with doctors. This team will consist of professionals with pediatric and adult ICU experience, who can engage in scientific discourse on the use of NGAL in the medical management of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). This team will support institutions in the development of their own process and protocols to guide hospitals' implementation of new NGAL testbased kidney biomarker programs.

3. Clinical Sales Representatives

A dedicated sales team with clinical and laboratory experience allowing BioPorto to engage with doctors at prospective accounts and have detailed clinical discussions about the product and its use and connect prospective customers with reference customers who are champions of the NGAL test product family. This sales team will also help to ensure alignment and buy-in among all decision makers in the hospital system.

In addition to the increased marketing and sales activities, BioPorto is participating in the open comment process of KDIGO's AKI guidelines update. KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) is the leading global organization developing and implementing evidence-based clinical practice guidelines in kidney disease. The next open comment period is expected spring 2025 and BioPorto plans to pursue including ProNephro AKI (NGAL), which is the first AKI biomarker test cleared for pediatric and young adult use in the US, in KDIGO's highly regarded and important guidelines for AKI.

Instrument Expansion

An important element in BioPorto's commercialization plan is to secure strategic partnerships and technical collaboration with the "Big 5" clinical chemistry instrument vendors to drive instrument expansion that are FDA cleared for ProNephro AKI (NGAL) use to enable more laboratories to implement the test and hence increase the serviceable market.

In February 2024, BioPorto expanded the collaboration with Roche to include the Roche Cobas c 503 analyzer in addition to the Cobas c 501 and c 502 analyzers. In October 2024, BioPorto entered a global distribution partnership with Beckman Coulter, a global diagnostics leader to include DxC and AU clinical chemistry analyzers.

In 2025 and 2026, BioPorto plans to engage in more strategic technical collaboration distribution partnerships with additional leading instrument manufacturers e.g. Siemens Healthineers, QuidelOrtho, and Abbott to enable the use of ProNephro AKI (NGAL) on their platforms, following completion of the necessary technical and clinical requirements.

Following the first FDA clearance, the Company can conduct validation work and file to expand the marketing authorization to include additional instruments. These subsequent submissions will follow FDA guidance offered through presubmission meetings. These are expected to be 510(k) submissions, leveraging the pediatric data and samples if needed, and expanding indications with additional clinical study data, such as our FDA adult ICU study, initiated in late 2024. With the first approval of ProNephro AKI (NGAL) serving as a predicate device referable for future submissions, it is anticipated that the regulatory review cycle should be less time intensive.

In CE-mark countries, the focus has been on the distribution network, which sells to laboratorians. Focus will now expand to clinician education, leveraging the sales model and clinical study from the US.

In February 2024, BioPorto expanded the collaboration with Roche to include the Roche Cobas c 503 analyzer in addition to the Cobas c 501 and c 502 analyzers. In October 2024, BioPorto entered a global distribution partnership with Beckman Coulter, a global diagnostics leader, to include DxC and AU clinical chemistry analyzers.

Increase sales of The NGAL Test for adults in the rest of the world (ROW)

The NGAL Test

BioPorto currently generates revenue from The NGAL Test for research use only (RUO), for general use in the European Economic Area (EEA) under the CE-mark, and subject to local registration in Canada, Israel, and South Korea.

The NGAL Test is currently available for In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD)* use in Europe and other geographies under its CE-mark for all patient populations, disease states, and instruments.

Market Adoption

Combined with the Company's global marketing organization, BioPorto's executive team will focus on activities to drive market adoption in targeted European markets, including extensive market education on AKI and the value of NGAL testing, while also strengthening the distribution sales channels.

BioPorto aims to drive market adoption by developing its commercial and medical affairs organization, leveraging distribution's laboratory connections in Europe, and strengthening and growing its distribution partnerships.

New Regulation

In Europe, new EU regulation related to in vitro medical devices (IVDR) has partly entered into force in May 2022. The new regulation will replace the current CE-mark for in vitro medical devices. The deadline for applying with IVDR has been postponed several times and is now extended to December 2028. BioPorto will take the necessary steps to apply in due time and expects that the experience gained through the FDA submission and subsequent clearance of ProNephro AKI (NGAL) for pediatric and young adult use will facilitate the process.

The new regulation focuses on a new classification of IVDs into four risk classes, a more precise description of their analytical and clinical performance, more stringent requirements for the conduct of clinical trials, more precise execution and planning of post market surveillance, as well as better traceability of IVDs and more transparency for patients. Commercially, IVDR approvals may help to drive demand as the lower requirements for clinical evidence of the former IVDD regulation, may have caused physicians to wait for better data for approval of specific tests and indications before considering clinical use.

*IVD – testing of samples taken from the human body

Prepare and submit US FDA application for ProNephro AKI (NGAL) for adults

Following the successful pursuit of FDA clearance for ProNephro AKI (NGAL) in pediatric and young adult patients for ICU risk assessment, BioPorto plans to obtain similar clearance for adults.

Adult Clinical Trial Initiated

BioPorto initiated its adult clinical trials during the second half of 2024. The literature review has been completed, KOLs have been engaged, and biostatisticians are being onboarded to move into protocol draft completion. Patient enrolment commenced during the fourth quarter of 2024. The goal is to submit a clearance application to the FDA in 2026. This could enable US commercialization of ProNephro AKI for adult use in 2027.

Products and Pipeline

AKI – Common, Costly and Critical

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is the abrupt loss of kidney function that develops rapidly over a few hours or days.1 It is a silent epidemic that impacts 13.3 million patients worldwide2 and contributes to as many as 1.7 million deaths.3 Often a complication of another serious illness or intervention, such as cardiac surgery, mechanical ventilation, solid organ or stem cell transplants, sepsis, or the administration of nephrotoxic pharmaceuticals,4 AKI is frequently painless and asymptomatic, making it difficult to diagnose.1

AKI is associated with prolonged length of stay in the ICU and hospital, as well as poorer outcomes. Increased AKI severity and duration correlates with increased morbidity, the need for dialysis, prolonged time on mechanical ventilation and increased mortality.5

Episodes of in-hospital AKI are steadily increasing – the U.S. saw an increase of 29% in the period from 2011-2021.6 It affects 10-15% of hospitalized patients, and 25-57% of those in intensive care units.7

When AKI is diagnosed early enough, preventive, or therapeutic procedures can be taken to maintain or restore full functionality.

The current standard of AKI care relies on changes in serum creatinine, an indicator of kidney function which is unreliable and often inadequate for AKI assessment.8 To preserve kidney health, it is essential that patients at risk of AKI are identified early and managed promptly. Patients who develop even one episode of AKI have a 30% higher rate of hospital re-admission9 , are 38% more likely to have a major cardiac event10 and 25% progress to chronic kidney disease11.

When AKI is diagnosed early enough, preventive or therapeutic procedures can be taken to maintain or restore kidney health. It is similarly important to identify patients who are not at risk of AKI so unnecessary treatments such as dialysis or aggressive fluid management therapies can be avoided and instead, more appropriate and possibly conservative interventions can be initiated.12

BioPorto's NGAL tests are designed to help clinicians identify the level of NGAL, a biomarker that rapidly rises within the first 2 hours of the onset of AKI.13

The NGAL Test and ProNephro AKI (The NGAL Assays)

The NGAL Assays are a particle-enhanced immunoassay (biochemical test) that measures the concentration of NGAL in humans. It uses an analytical method that can run on automated clinical chemistry systems such as the Roche Cobas®, Siemens Atellica®, and Abbott Alinity®

families of instruments that are used routinely in hospital core laboratories and fits seamlessly into their established test workflows. This facilitates laboratory adoption of the test and potential market penetration. The NGAL Assays do not require any proprietary instrumentation or capital purchase arrangements from the customer that could otherwise add months to the sales cycle.

As illustrated below, The NGAL Test identifies the risk of damage to the kidney as quickly as two hours after insult, whereas the current standard of care, serum creatinine (SCr), identifies potential kidney dysfunction after 48 to 72 hours and after >50% of total glomerular filtration capacity (the first step in creating urine where excess fluid and waste products are filtered out of the blood via the kidney) is already lost.16

This difference in both speed and more specific risk assessment of kidney injury is important for clinical patient management, as early detection of kidney damage can permit earlier and more tailored approaches such as close control of fluid levels, heightened attention to nephrotoxic medications, and consideration of renal replacement therapy (RRT). Used in conjunction with measurement of serum creatinine (SCr) levels, even more tailored therapy decisions can be considered. Each of these can be initiated to improve the chances of kidney recovery.17

Registrations

For a diagnostic product to be marketed for clinical use, it must undergo a registration process with the Health Authorities in each country and/or region. The NGAL Test is CE-marked in the EU as an IVD biomarker for AKI; certain countries outside of the EU recognize the CE-mark including South Korea, Israel and Canada. The NGAL Test is also registered in and/or has received regulatory approval for IVD use in several other countries.

ProNephro AKI™ (NGAL) received FDA clearance in the US for pediatric and young adult use (ages 3 months through 21 years) on the Roche Cobas® c 501 analyzer.

Serum Creatinine is Inadequate for Hospital Patients at Risk of AKI

ELISA Kits and Antibodies

BioPorto's existing revenue-generating product line includes a library of highly specific monoclonal antibodies for scientific, pharmaceutical, and clinical research. This library includes specific antibodies for NGAL and other analytes in areas such as allergy and immune system disorders. BioPorto also provides in-house scaled-up production of custom antibodies in bulk volumes to meet specific customer needs, i.e., for diagnostic kit manufacturers.

BioPorto offers NGAL ELISA kits (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) for research applications in humans (CE-marked) and five additional animal species, ranging from mouse to monkey. These NGAL ELISA kits target different forms of NGAL and help scientists bridge their development work from preclinical study to clinical development.

These research tools are often used to investigate nephrotoxicity (rapid deterioration in the kidney function due to drug toxicity) and/or effectiveness during the development of new pharmaceutical compounds.

BioPorto does not intend to actively develop new ELISA kits or seek FDA clearance for ELISA kits. However, it will continue to include ELISA kits as part of its product offering, as these kits may serve as research tools that could evolve into future products in the form of FDA-cleared actionable biomarkers. Through its research and development activities, BioPorto has developed expertise in the development of research and diagnostic assays to detect analytes present in various disease states. The Company's antibodies are proprietary. BioPorto believes that the success of its business depends on the Company's ability to commercialize its current and future products and develop innovative antibodies and diagnostic products utilizing the NGAL biomarker.

Financial Review

This financial review is based on the Group's consolidated financial information for the year ended December 31, 2024, with comparative results for the year ended December 31, 2023, in brackets.

Revenue

Revenue for 2024 was DKK 36.2 million (DKK 31.0 million), an increase of 17%, and comprised:

Revenue Source 2024
DKK million
2023
DKK million
%

NGAL tests 23.1 18.6 24%
Antibodies 10.8 10.7 1%
ELISA kits 2.3 1.7 36%
Royalty and other 0.1 0.1 -

NGAL test revenue increased by DKK 4.5 million, or 24%, over the prior year period. US NGAL revenue totaled DKK 14.7 million, which is an increase of 34% over the prior year period, meanwhile ROW NGAL revenue totaled DKK 8.3 million, which is an increase of 11%. Antibody revenue increased by DKK 0.1 million, or 1%, over the prior year period. ELISA kits revenue increased by DKK 0.6 million, or 36%, compared to the prior year period. Actual Revenue for 2024 was 9% below the latest disclosed guidance of DKK 40 million mainly due to lower ROW NGAL revenue.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for 2024 totaled DKK 24.5 million (DKK 20.2 million), and a gross margin of 68% (65%). The DKK 4.3 million increase in gross profit was mainly driven by a favorable sales volume.

Sales and Marketing Costs

Sales and marketing costs totaled DKK 30.2 million (DKK 18.9 million). The increase is mainly driven by staffing up in areas of business development and sales force to commercialize ProNephro AKI (NGAL) in the US, grow sales of Research Use Only (RUO) at existing customers and grow rest of world revenue by traveling to meet new customers and attending conferences and forums to increase NGAL awareness.

FIGURE 1: Revenue by quarter (DKK million) FIGURE 2: NGAL test product revenue by quarter (DKK million)

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs, consisting of reasearch and development, regulatory affairs, quality assurance, clinical, and medical affairs, totaled DKK 33.5 million (DKK 25.4 million). The increase was mainly due to higher staffing and clinical study costs. In 2024, BioPorto initiated the clinical study for adult use, and the costs totaled DKK 6.7 million for 2024.

Administrative Costs

Administrative costs totaled DKK 36.2 million (DKK 36.0 million). The main movements were severance costs for the former CEO Anthony Paul Pare who resigned effective January 9, 2024, offset by reversal of his warrant expense.

Lease Impairment

The Company recorded no lease impairment costs in 2024 and recorded a non-cash lease impairment charge of DKK 1.0 million in 2023. The sublease agreement was executed in November 2023 of its office space in Needham, MA, USA. The company established a lease receivable as described in Note 18.

Financials Items, Net

Financial income and expenses reflect interest income/ expense and currency transaction gains/losses, bank charges and interest. In 2024 there was an income for a net amount of approximately DKK 1.7 million (DKK 0.0 million), with the net amount related to currency rate changes and interest income.

Tax Benefit

A DKK 5.5 million tax benefit (DKK 4.9 million tax benefit) was realized during 2024. The tax benefit is related to tax credits derived by BioPorto's Danish entities associated with investments in research and development.

EBIT/Adjusted EBITDA

For 2024, EBIT was a loss of DKK 75.5 million (DKK 61.2 million), Adjusted EBITDA was a loss of DKK 70.6 million (loss of DKK 56.1 million), each reflecting the mix of variances described above.

Adjusted EBITDA loss for 2024 was favorable compared to the Company's original outlook of a loss of DKK 75 to 90 million and was within the updated guidance announced on January 6, 2025, of a loss in the range DKK 68 to 73 million. The improved adjusted EBITDA was mainly driven by the timing of clinical study costs and tight cost control.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As of December 31, 2024, BioPorto's balance of cash and cash equivalents totaled DKK 59.7 million (DKK 66.4 million) and is deposited at major, national Danish, Nordic, and US banks. The Company continually evaluates its liquidity requirements, capital needs and availability of capital resources based on its operating needs and planned initiatives. The Company assessed its liquidity and capital resources, and concluded that they are adequate to fund operations considering a twelve-month period from the date of this Annual Report. The Company's assessment as to the adequacy of liquidity relies inter alia on assumptions and significant judgements (in addition to those matters discussed cf. Note 2) applied in the Company's budgets and forecasts as well as customary sensitivities, existing capital resources and assumptions concerning the timing, costs and resources required to undertake the Company's strategic priorities and tactical decisions, including the timing of marketing ProNephro AKI™ (NGAL) in the US, commercialization activities for NGAL tests under CE-mark and Antibodies in Europe, supply chain management, and ongoing R&D, all of which under current circumstances remain difficult to predict.

Equity

In 2024, equity totaled DKK 67.8 million (DKK 60.2 million). In June 2024, BioPorto raised gross proceeds of DKK 81.4 million, from a private placement. In total, 50,000,000 new shares of common stock were issued.

See the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity below for further details in the movements in equity.

Net Working Capital

Net working capital (i.e., current assets minus current liabilities) as of December 31, 2024 totaled DKK 63.5 million (DKK 56.9 million). The increase is principally related to the private placement in June 2024.

Cash Flow Statement

Cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024, totaled DKK 83.6 million (DKK 55.5 million), with the increase over the prior year primarily associated with the timing of account payables, offset by lower share-based expenses.

Cash received from investing activities was DKK 1.2 million (use of DKK 0.3 million) which primarily consisted of a return of deposit.

Cash from financing activities was DKK 75.5 million (DKK 40.8 million), reflecting the net proceeds from the private placement, offset by facility lease costs.

The net cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2024, reflected a use of DKK 6.9 million (use of DKK 14.9 million).

Subsequent Events

There are no subsequent events.

Change of Control

The Danish Financial Statements Act, Section 107 a, contains rules relating to listed companies with respect to certain disclosures associated with change of control provisions in contracts. BioPorto has entered into agreements with external parties that may be subject to renegotiation in the event of a change of control in BioPorto. However, detailed information is not provided here, as it may be restricted from disclosure due to confidentiality provisions or is not otherwise expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position.

Risk Management

Risk management is a fundamental aspect of BioPorto' s operations.

The Company identifies and prioritizes significant risks that could impact revenues, development, production, future performance, regulatory affairs and other aspects of the business.

Risk Management is part of the Rules of Procedures for the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors receives updates and recommendations on initiatives, which then form part of the Board's overall assessment and decisions on the Company's activities and future plans.

In 2025, primary risks relate to the commercialization of ProNephro AKI and The NGAL Test in the USA and Rest of the World, securing market adoption and maintaining growth in NGAL revenues; ensuring the continued supply of The NGAL Test and ProNephro AKI; expanding instrument usage and conducting studies for adult indications and obtain regulatory approvals and attracting and retaining qualified personnel in a competitive environment.

Risk Factors

Expectations and assumptions in the annual report concerning BioPorto' s business – the market for diagnostics in AKI and NGAL, antibodies, and ELISA kits – and the Company's revenue, accounting results, and market share are subject to substantial uncertainty. There is no guarantee that the Company as a whole or in part will achieve its expectations for revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, or the profit/ loss for the year. Key risks that are specific for the Company that, among others, could cause the Company's results, prospects, and financial performance to differ materially from those expressed forward-looking statements.

To the extent these risk factors are within the Company's control, the Company seeks to address them in the ordinary course of business.

Risk Factors and Mitigation

T h e Co m p a ny 's p ro d u c t s a n d f u tu re products may fail to achieve the degree of market acceptance by physicians, laboratory management, healthcare payors and others in the medical community necessary for commercial success and market penetration. A failure to successfully commercialize NGAL tests for pediatric and later adult uses would have a material adverse effect on the Company's future revenues, future growth prospects, future cash-flows and future results of operations.

Market Acceptance

The product benefits of NGAL tests may not provide sufficient clinical and economic evidence to drive market adoption until or when the Company completes a direct health economic and outcomes study.

Economic Evidence

Clinical and

An impor tant element in BioPor to' s commercialization plan is to secure expansion of instruments that are FDA cleared for ProNephro AKI (NGAL) use to enable more laboratories to implement the test and hence increase the serviceable market. The Company may not be able to conduct the planned instrument expansion and thereby increase the serviceable market according to the plan. A failure to successfully perform instrument expansion would have a material adverse effect on the Company's future revenues, growth prospects, cash-flows and results of operations.

The Company may experience increased competition in commercially relevant markets. The ability to prevent competing companies from having Freedom to Operate in commercially relevant markets is tied to the Company's expiry of patents in ultimo 2028.

Further, the Company may experience competition from other tests, which is not based on NGAL.

Mitigation

Tra i n i n g o f Co m m e rc i a l a n d Me d i c a l Liaison personnel, HEOR and preparation of reimbursement dossiers to payers and institution administration, IIS programs for publication on NGAL protocols and KDIGO Guideline public responses.

Focus on key partner negotiations and commercial enablement, current lab customer case stories and peer-to-peers support and new product considerations.

Leveraging data from the recent FDA clearance of ProNephro AKI (NGAL), which contributes to establishing a new market in the US and creating synergies for revenue growth opportunities globally.

Strict planning and securing access to multiple instruments and products.

C re a t i n g n e w i n te l l e c t u a l p ro p e r ty, documenting the benefits of NGAL use. Moreover, entering fur ther strategic partnerships for distribution of the Company's NGAL products will secure a stronger competitive position.

Risk Factors and Mitigation (continued)

and Submission Manufacturing Financing

To realize its strategic objectives, the Company will require additional capital to fund its operations, which may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all.

The Company's future success depends in part on its ability to attract and retain its management team and key employees.

The Company is currently conducting a clinical trial in order to obtain regulatory clearance for adult use of NGAL in the US. Timing of future clinical trials depends on many factors outside of the Company's control, including regulatory pathways and their conditions associated with submissions presently under review that will serve as predicates to other submissions. Further, there is no guarantee that a submission will be approved by the FDA and result in a regulatory clearance.

The Company's products are complex to manufacture, and the Company is, in some instances, reliant on sole source suppliers. The Company may encounter difficulties in manufacturing that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's revenues, cash flow, results of operations and future growth prospects.

Maintaining a good and productive relationship with sole suppliers and securing in-house qualified production leadership and personnel to investigate alternative suppliers.

Executing the financing strategy and plan to generate investor interest and potential participation.

If the raised capital in the first half of 2025 should fall short of expected USD 8.3m, partly or in full, the Company will be able to manage costs to execute on the core elements of the strategy.

Challenging existing employees with meaningful work and growth opportunities in a dynamic environment.

Tools such as LinkedIn and other forums are used to market new job opportunities and exciting endeavors at BioPorto.

Aligning with competent CROs, and having internal R&D talent that can effectively and efficiently manage ongoing and future clinical trials. Further, the Company will leverage its knowledge obtained from the previous regulatory clearance for pediatric use obtained in December 2023.

Risk Factors and Mitigation (continued)

Several patents held by the Company will

The Company operates in a highly regulated industry. Failure to comply with changes in regulations or the implementation or enforcement of existing regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

External crises, disruptions, tensions

Public health crises, technological disruptions, or geopolitical tensions and situations, such as, but not limited to, epidemics, pandemics, cyberattacks, or political sanctions and other actions, could have a significant negative impact on the Company's business, financial stability, timelines, operational outcomes, and future growth potential.

Creating new intellectual property and new product introductions.

expire in the near term and no later than ultimo 2028, which may lead to increased competition and materially adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Conducting regulatory intelligence and securing compliance execution.

Continuously monitoring global events and media sources to implement proactive measures that safeguard the interests of the community and stakeholders.

Risk Description

Internal Controls

Evaluation of the Performance of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management

Annually, the Board of Directors conducts a self-evaluation of the Board's performance and composition. The Chair heads the annual evaluation, which at least every third year is conducted by an external consultant. The process, whether it is facilitated internally or by external consultants, evaluates topics such as board dynamics, board agenda, quality of the material that is submitted to the Board, discussions at the Board meetings, the Chair's leadership of the Board, strategy, Board composition and Board competencies. Typically, the process is further facilitated by each Board member completing a detailed questionnaire, and the Board

members are asked to score to which extent they agree to the individual questions.

The results of the questionnaire are then discussed at a subsequent Board meeting, and the individual comments submitted are used in the planning and handling of future Board meetings. The 2024 self-evaluation was conducted internally, and the key conclusions were positive with continued satisfaction with the Board's work as well as the work on the committees. Onboarding of new board members and succession will be focus areas in 2025.

Remuneration Policy and Report

The remuneration of the Board and the Executive Management is governed by the Company's Remuneration Policy, which was updated in 2023, and subsequently approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in 2023.

BioPorto's ongoing participation in the UN Global Compact reinforces these principles as a global standard for social engagement.

Human Rights

    1. Businesses should support and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights; and
    1. make sure that they are not complicit in human rights abuses.

BioPorto's human rights due diligence indicates a low risk of impacting human rights. BioPorto actively supports and respects internationally recognized human rights and working in compliance with them and labor standards is a priority. The Company opposes any form of discrimination and is committed to treating all employees and potential applicants equally, regardless of sex, age, ethnicity, disability, religion, beliefs, or personal interests.

In 2024, BioPorto recorded zero instances of human rights abuse. BioPorto continuously reviews and implements essential processes within its governance, strategy, and overall business model to ensure transparent internal operations. Core to the governance is our Code of Conduct, that is reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors on an annual basis, that combined with the Whistle Blower Scheme provides a framework for our operations.

Looking towards 2025, BioPorto will focus on enhancing internal procedures and further strengthening internal control measures to uphold data integrity and our dedication to human rights. Similarly, the statutory Work Environment Group at the Danish enterprise will continue its diligent efforts to enforce policies that promote a safe, inclusive, and equitable workplace environment for all employees.

Code of Conduct

BioPorto's overall compliance framework is guided by our Code of Conduct as well as observance of the national labor and anti-discrimination laws in the countries in which we operates. All employees are bound by the Code of Conduct, which is also being incorporated into supplier contracts to ensure respect for human rights throughout the supply chain. Employee training in human rights and the Code of Conduct is an integral part of the onboarding process and is reinforced through the Company's QMS System.

Whistleblower Scheme

The implementation of the Whistleblower Scheme in 2023 at BioPorto has empowered employees and facilitated improved internal reporting procedures which offers employees a confidential channel to report concerns about human rights violations or unethical behavior. Covering issues such as sexual harassment, bullying, discrimination, and physical violence, the initiative has effectively encouraged transparency and accountability within the organization. Any alleged incidents reported through the Whistleblower Scheme will be communicated to the Board of Directors, who will take prompt action. In 2024, no incidents were reported.

Clinical Trials

BioPorto also conducts clinical trials with the utmost respect for participants, prioritizing their safety. Having enrolled the first patient in our ongoing Adult Clinical Study in 2024, these trials adhere to the highest legal, ethical, and scientific standards, in full compliance with applicable laws and regulations. BioPorto's executive management team monitors and evaluates performance annually. Any alleged incidents of human rights abuse will be reported to the executive management, who will take prompt action. In 2024, no violations were reported.

Human Rights Initiatives

In 2025, BioPorto will continue to build upon its human rights framework, promoting our Whistleblower Scheme to ensure even greater accessibility and confidentiality for employees. We aim to foster an environment where human rights are at the forefront of all our operations. Through collaboration with the Work Environment Group and Corporate Affairs, we will ensure that our policies and practices not only comply with legal requirements but also reflect our dedication to ethical leadership and corporate responsibility.

Labor Rights

    1. Businesses should uphold the freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining;
    1. the elimination of all forms of forced and compulsory labor;
    1. the effective abolition of child labor; and
    1. the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation.

Danish and American traditions, culture and laws mean that labor rights are naturally supported and complied with by BioPorto in both Denmark and the United States. BioPorto has no external suppliers in countries that are known for the use of child labor or forced and compulsory labor, and BioPorto deems that there is a very low risk of this taking place in areas where BioPorto might be expected to operate. BioPorto has established a Code of Conduct covering these labor rights, which employees are bound by. The Company is also integrating this Code into supplier contracts to ensure compliance among its partners.

The BioPorto Group actively supports and respects human rights and labor standards, providing a safe and healthy working environment with opportunities for professional and personal development. BioPorto's employee handbook covers policies concerning employee rights. Employee safety and health are among the Company's highest priorities, with robust procedures in place to mitigate risks and promote well-being. Both physical and mental aspects of the work environment are closely monitored and refined by the Work Environment Group and Management Team to minimize the likelihood of accidents, injuries, or illnesses. Comprehensive training programs conducted on site and through external training equip employees with the necessary skills to handle hazardous materials and chemicals safely.

To address any breaches of labor standards, BioPorto has established reporting channels where such concerns can be escalated to executive management for thorough investigation and resolution. By maintaining a commitment to compliance and continual improvement, BioPorto strives to foster a work environment where every employee feels valued, protected, and empowered.

BioPorto monitors and evaluates performance yearly by looking at work related injuries, employee related cases with a union. During 2024 BioPorto had zero employeerelated cases with unions, and zero work-related injuries recognized or reported through the Work Environment Group, Whistleblower Scheme, or daily management engagement with the workforce.

BioPorto is committed to achieving an equal gender breakdown and fostering diversity in educational backgrounds, nationalities, and cultures among its staff. This diversity enriches the work environment and enhances collaboration, benefiting both employees and the Company. For more details, please refer to the section on diversity below.

In 2025, BioPorto will continue efforts to ensure that suppliers adhere to relevant standards, including its Code of Conduct, and will aim to maintain or improve a balanced diversity, including gender diversity.

Environment

    1. Businesses should support a precautionary approach to environmental challenges;
    1. undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility; and
    1. encourage the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly technologies.

BioPorto's in-house production is limited in scope and of such a nature that it has an insignificant environmental impact and related risk. BioPorto is committed to full compliance with all environmental laws, standards, and guidelines in the jurisdictions where it operates and continuously seeks to reduce its environmental impact as much as possible. Ongoing effort will be made in an environmentally conscious way to minimize any other possible environmental impact, including the consumption of water and electricity, which will cut costs at the same time. BioPorto's activities are primarily knowledge-based, and employees are encouraged to be mindful of the environment and climate, and to produce as little waste as possible. Employees are bound by BioPorto's Code of Conduct and trained in the Company's QMS, and the Company implements the Code of Conduct into supplier contracts. The company acknowledges that its activities have a relatively limited environmental footprint; however, it remains committed to minimizing environmental effects and significance wherever possible. In preparation for compliance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the Company has reinforced its efforts by appointing a Head of Group HR and ESG to lead and oversee these initiatives. Additionally, Management will continue to encourage employees to adopt environmentally and climate-friendly practices, fostering the company's growth and sustainability ambitions. In 2025, BioPorto will persist in its efforts to reduce its environmental impact further.

Any environmental incident would be reported to the executive management team, and they would take prompt action to make sure the incident would not happen again. Zero incidents have been reported in 2024.

Anti-Corruption

  1. Businesses should work against corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery.

BioPorto has a zero-tolerance policy regarding corruption, bribery, and similar methods. BioPorto's activities must follow the required country anti-corruption legislation and the UN Convention against Corruption. Corruption problems have not historically affected BioPorto's activities, and BioPorto has not been involved in any legal cases, rulings or other events related to corruption and bribery.

BioPorto's Code of Conduct covers the above. Employees are bound by BioPorto's Code of Conduct and the Company implements the Code of Conduct into supplier contracts. BioPorto does not permit or participate in money laundering.

All new employees receive training as part of their introductory program regarding anti-corruption and the Code of Conduct. To continue our commitment to integrity, we will continue to develop our anti-bribery and anti-corruption framework, including updating our Code of Conduct and training of our employees to create continues awareness and ensure a safe environment for speaking up.

Any incidents of corruption will be reported to executive management, and they will take prompt action to ensure that a similar incident will not happen again. BioPorto has not identified any risks caused by business activities corruption and zero incidents have been reported in 2024.

Risks

The Group's risk of impacting the environment and climate, human rights, and anti-corruption is assessed to be limited. This risk assessment has been conducted by analyzing selected topics for their potential impact on both BioPorto and the Group's stakeholders. Risk is evaluated as a product of the topic's proportional significance in daily operations and the likelihood of negative consequences for the Group or its stakeholders. Where risks have been identified, they are detailed in the Risk Management Section.

As part of its commitment to sustainability and in preparation for compliance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), BioPorto has strengthened its governance framework by appointing a Head of Group HR and ESG to guide and oversee activities in these areas. This role ensures a dedicated focus on minimizing environmental impact and promoting responsible practices across the organization.

Additionally, Management continues to encourage employees to adopt environmentally and socially responsible practices, supporting the Group's sustainability ambitions and maturing its approach to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives.

For further details on BioPorto's broader business risks, refer to the Risk Management section of this Annual Report.

Diversity

In pursuit of fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace environment, BioPorto's commitment to diversity remains steadfast as we take off on the journey of 2025.

BioPorto's Diversity Policy

Grounded in our core values of equality, respect, and integrity and to support our continued work regarding diversity in 2025 BioPorto's Board of Directors has adopted the following Policy:

"BioPorto is committed to continue working towards ensuring and furthering equal opportunities for all employees in respect of differences, such as gender, age, religion, sexual orientation and ethnicity, as all – in our view – serve as key components in ensuring a better, more dynamic and healthier business. We believe that employees should be recognized because of – and not despite – their diversity. The view extended through this policy also includes maintaining equal opportunities for women and men at all management levels in the BioPorto group. The Board of Directors annually discusses the Company's activities to ensure relevant diversity at management levels and evaluates the policy on diversity."

Central to our commitment is the principle that all employees should be valued and recognized for their unique perspectives, talents, and contributions. We reject the notion of "fiting in" and instead, champion a culture where every voice is heard, every perspective is respected, and every individual is empowered to thrive. As part of our ongoing efforts, BioPorto's Board of Directors diligently reviews and evaluates our diversity initiatives annually, reaffirming our dedication to fostering an inclusive workplace where diversity is not just a goal but a lived reality.

Diversity in the BioPorto Group

In 2024, the diversity landscape among our entire workforce continued to evolve positively. The proportion of male employees increased to 46% from 39%, reflecting the focus on gender balance within our organization. Additionally, the representation of non-Danish employees grew from 61% to 69%, underscoring our commitment to embracing cultural diversity.

As we mark the progress made in advancing diversity and inclusion within our organization, we recognize that our journey is ongoing. We remain committed to fostering a workplace where individuals from diverse backgrounds can thrive, make meaningfully contributions, and collectively drive our shared success.

Diversity in the Board of Directors of BioPorto A/S

Diversity in the composition of the Board is sought, with a reasonable age composition, several nationalities, and an equal gender ratio. The Board currently has five members, of which four are male and one is female.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, BioPorto has defined a target, that no later than in 2027 at least 40% members of the Board of Directors consists of the underrepresented gender, which will constitute equal representation according to applicable law. This target is not intended to detract from other competency requirements in the nomination of members to the Management team of the Company.

In 2024, the composition of the Company's Board of Directors changed as Peter Mørch Eriksen stepped down from the Board to assume the permanent role of Group CEO, and two new Board Members were elected at the Annual General Assembly. Following a thorough candidate selection process with a strong emphasis on gender diversity, the highly qualified candidates Henrik Juuel and Mats Thorén were presented to the AGM for election.

While the election of two additional male Board Members does not immediately enhance gender balance, the Company remains steadfast in its commitment to achieving a 40/60 gender balance by 2027. This commitment underscores our belief in promoting gender equality without compromising the selection of the most qualified individuals for these critical roles.

Furthermore, the representation of non-Danish members on the Board increased to 83.33%, highlighting the Company's dedication to integrating global perspectives and insights. This diverse composition ensures a broader range of viewpoints at the highest levels of governance, strengthening strategic decision-making and alignment with international best practices.

As of 31 December 2024, the following information applies to the Board of Directors.

The Nomination & Remuneration Committee has a policy for evaluating candidates of both genders for vacant Board positions. For future vacant Board positions, the Nomination & Remuneration committee will continue to evaluate candidates of both genders.

Executive Management and Other Layers of Management at BioPorto A/S

The Company has not set a target for the unrepresented gender in the Executive Management and other layers of the Management team, as the Company's size is below the minimum thresholds of 50 employees or more cf. guidelines from the Danish Business Authority, section 4.1.2. The Company has adopted a general Diversity Policy cf. above, but the Company is below the threshold of 50 employees or more cf. guidelines from the Danish Business Authority, section 4.2 and accordingly not obligated to adopt a Policy.

As of 31 December 2024, and as of the date of this Annual Report the following information applies to the Executive Management.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Reporting

Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements for listed entities in Denmark.

The Company assessed its liquidity and capital resources considering a twelve-month period from the date of this Annual Report. If the raised capital in the first half of 2025 should fall short of the expected USD 8.3m, partly or in full, the Company will be able to manage costs to execute on the core elements of the strategy.

The accompanying consolidated and parent financial statements have been prepared on the basis of going concern assumption.

In the event that the Company's strategic priorities and tactical decisions, including the marketing of ProNephro AKI (NGAL) in the US, commercialization activities for NGAL tests under CE Mark and Antibodies in Europe, and ongoing R&D are more positive than expected, the Company may choose to accelerate projects and/or increase spending, in which case the Company may be required or may choose to raise additional capital prior to the twelve month period after the date of this Annual Report.

The accounting policies set out below have been used consistently with respect to the financial year and comparative figures. Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

Applying Materiality

Material items are presented individually in the financial statements as required by IAS 1.

Items that are not individually material but support the understanding of BioPorto's business model and performance in the reporting period are also presented in the financial statements.

Currency

The Group's consolidated financial statements are presented in Danish kroner (DKK), which is considered the primary currency of the Group's activities and the functional currency of both the parent company and its most significant subsidiary. Figures are rounded to the nearest DKK thousand unless otherwise stated.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared as a consolidation of the financial statements of the Parent Company, BioPorto A/S, and its subsidiaries in accordance with the Group's accounting policies. All intra-group income, expenses, shareholdings, balances, and dividends are eliminated on consolidation. The accounting items of subsidiaries are included in full in the consolidated financial statements.

Implementation of new and amended standards and interpretations

All new and amended Standards (IFRS/IAS) and the new Interpretations (IFRIC) issued by IASB and adopted by EU effective as of January 1, 2024, have been adopted by the BioPorto Group as applicable and did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Standards and interpretations not yet in force

As of the publishing of this Annual Report, several new or modified standards and interpretations have been issued by the IASB but which are not yet required to be implemented. Therefore, they have not yet been adopted by the Group and are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The new or modified standards and interpretations will be implemented when they become mandatory, and none are presently expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Translation of foreign currency

A functional currency is determined for each of the Group's reporting entities. The functional currency of the Parent Company is Danish kroner (DKK). Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are considered transactions denominated in foreign currencies.

Upon initial recognition, transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rates in effect on the transaction date. Differences arising between the exchange rates on the transaction date and the date of payment are recognized as financial income or expense.

Receivables, payables, and other monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The difference between the exchange rates at the reporting date and at the date at which the receivable or payable arose or the exchange rate in the latest consolidated financial statements is recognized as financial income or expenses.

Upon recognition in the consolidated financial statements of entities with a functional currency other than the presentation currency (DKK), the income statement and statement of cash flows are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date, and the statement of financial position items are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date.

Differences arising from the translation of the opening balance of equity of foreign entities at the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting date, and on translation of the income statement from the transaction date to the reporting date, are recognized in other comprehensive income and attributed to a separate translation reserve in equity.

Incentive programs

The Company has issued warrants (options) to Management and employees. Share-based incentive programs in which employees only have the option of choosing to subscribe for new shares in the parent Company (equity-settled share-based payment transactions) are measured at the equity instrument's fair value on the grant date and are recognized in the income statement over the vesting period. The counter entry for this is recognized directly in equity. The fair value per warrant is specified based on a Black-Scholes model as of the grant date and is not subsequently adjusted. Warrants restricted by vesting conditions are forfeited if the vesting conditions are not met.

Issue costs associated with the exercise of warrants are recognized in equity.

Segment information

The BioPorto Group does not prepare segment reporting internally and therefore only reports one operating segment externally. The geographic distribution of revenue and revenue from major customers is presented in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. 50% of non-current assets were located in Denmark (42% in 2022).

Statements of Profit or Loss and Statements of Comprehensive Loss

Revenue

Revenue from contracts with customers comprises sale of goods, license fees, and royalty income. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized at the point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer, which generally takes place upon shipment. Contracts generally do not provide customers with a right of return.

Licenses that transfer the rights associated with ownership of intellectual property are recognized at the point in time when control is transferred. Royalties on net sales is recognized as the underlying customers' sale occurs in accordance with the terms of the relevant agreement.

Revenue from contracts with customers is measured at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods. Amounts disclosed as net revenue exclude discounts, VAT and other duties.

The Group considers whether contracts include other promises that constitute separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated. In determining the transaction price, the Group considers the effects of variable consideration. No element of financing is deemed present. Discounts generally arise from sales transactions where the customer receives an immediate reduction in the selling price. Payment terms are generally net 30 days.

Production Costs

Production costs include costs incurred to generate the revenue, including direct and indirect costs for raw materials and consumables, wages and salaries, freight and packaging material, rent and leasing, and depreciation of production equipment.

Sales and Marketing Costs

Sales and marketing costs include royalties and costs incurred for the marketing of goods sold during the year and for sales campaigns, etc. This includes costs related to sales and marketing staff, advertising, exhibitions and depreciation and amortization.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs include wages and salaries, laboratory materials, patent costs, clinical studies, rent, leasing, depreciation and amortization, and other costs relating to the Group's research and development activities that are not capitalized.

Administrative Costs

Administrative costs include management and administration, including expenses for administrative staff, office premises, office expenses, and depreciation and amortization.

Lease Impairment

Lease impairment is a non-cash charge to write-down the value of the Right-of-use asset for the Company's Needham, MA, USA lease, cf. Note 13. It is separately classified and the Company does not consider to be a part of its ordinary operations.

Financial Income and Expenses

Financial income and expenses include interest, capital gains and losses, transactions in foreign currencies, amortization of financial assets and liabilities, and additions, etc.

Income Tax

Income tax comprises current tax and changes in deferred tax for the year. The tax expense associated with current year results is recognized in the income statement, and the tax expense relating to changes is recognized in equity or other comprehensive income is recognized in equity.

To the extent the Group benefits from a deduction in the determination of taxable income due to share-based compensation, the tax effect of such programs is included in income tax.

Balance Sheets

Development Projects

In accordance with IAS 38 Intangible Assets, intangible assets arising from development projects are recognized on the balance sheet when the development project is clearly defined and identifiable, the technical feasibility has been demonstrated, and adequate resources to complete the development work and market or use the project have been documented. It must be adequately demonstrated that future income from the development project will exceed the costs of production and development, and costs used to sell and administer the product. Development costs concerning individual projects are only capitalized if there is adequate documentation that the future income from the individual projects will exceed not only the production, selling and administrative expenses, but also the actual development costs relating to the product.

Rights and Software

Rights and software are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Cost comprises the purchase price as well as costs directly related to the purchase until the date on which the asset is ready for use, and any future minimum royalty payments to which the Company is bound, discounted back to present value, cf. Note 11.

Assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives based on the following assessment of the expected lives of the assets:

Rights and software 3-10 years

Depreciation is recognized in the income statement under sales and marketing costs and administrative costs.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost comprises the purchase price and any costs directly attributable to the acquisition until the date when the asset is ready for use, cf. Note 12.

Assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives based on the following assessment of the expected lives of the assets:

Property, plan, and equipment 3-5 years

The basis of depreciation is cost less expected residual value at the end of the useful life. Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reassessed annually. To the extent that depreciation is not reflected in the cost of inventories as production overhead, depreciation is recognized on the income statement under production costs, sales and marketing costs, research and development costs and administrative costs, respectively.

Right-of-Use Assets

The Company leases facilities in Hellerup, Denmark. Rightof-use assets are initially measured at the amount equal to the lease liability, adjusted by the amount of any prepaid or accrued lease payments. Lease liabilities are initially measured as the net present value of the future lease payments discounted by the incremental borrowing rate, cf. Note 13.

The Company executed a sublease agreement of its office space in Needham, MA, USA in November 2023 to reduce its cash infrastructure costs. As a result of the sublease, the Company has a Lease Receivable Long-Term and Lease Receivable Short Term assets as of December 31, 2024.

The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life or the lease term on a straight-line basis. Depreciation is recognized on the income statement under administrative costs.

Deferred Tax Assets

Deferred tax is measured using the balance sheet liability method on temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax base of assets and liabilities. However, no deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences regarding non-deductible goodwill or other items for which temporary differences, with the exception of acquisitions, have arisen at the acquisition date without affecting either the profit/loss for the year or the taxable income. If the tax base may be calculated according to several sets of tax regulations, deferred tax is measured in accordance with the regulations that apply to the use of the asset or settlement of the liability as planned by Management. Deferred tax assets, including the tax base of tax loss carry-forwards, are recognized under other non-current assets at the expected value of their utilization, either as an off-set against tax on future income or as an off-set against deferred tax liabilities within the same legal tax entity or jurisdiction (joint taxation), cf. Note 9.

Deferred tax related to the elimination of unrealized intragroup profits and losses is adjusted upon consolidation. Deferred tax is measured based on the tax regulations and rates that, according to the rules in force at the balance sheet date, will apply at the time the deferred tax is expected to crystallize as current tax. Changes in deferred tax due to changes in the tax rate are recognized on the income statement.

Impairment of Assets

The carrying amounts of other non-current assets are tested annually to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is calculated. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value, less expected costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount of an asset or a cash generating unit exceeds the recoverable amount of the asset or the cash generating unit. Impairment losses are recognized in the income statement as production costs, sales and distribution costs or administrative costs. Impairment of assets is reversed to the extent changes have occurred to the assumptions and estimates leading to the impairment. Impairment is only reversed to the extent the new carrying amount of an asset does not exceed the carrying amount the asset would have had net of depreciation, had the asset not been impaired, cf. Note 13. Deferred tax assets are reviewed annually and recognized to the extent that it is estimated to be probable that they will be utilized in the foreseeable future.

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of first-in first-out (FIFO) cost or net realizable value. The cost of raw materials comprises the purchase price plus delivery costs. The cost of work in progress and finished goods comprises the cost of raw materials, direct and indirect labor, and production overhead. Production overhead comprises indirect material and labor costs, maintenance and depreciation of the property, plant and equipment used in the manufacturing process, allocations of rent, utilities and related items, and the cost of production management.

The net realizable value of inventories is calculated as the selling price less costs of conversion and costs incurred to execute the sale, considering marketability, obsolescence, and expected losses, cf. Note 14.

Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are measured at their transaction price, less an allowance for lifetime expected credit losses. Trade receivables are grouped based on business area and age to estimate credit losses. Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Allowances for expected credit losses and write-offs are classified in sales and marketing costs, cf. Note 15.

Taxes Receivable

Current taxes receivable are recognized on the balance sheet as calculated tax on the taxable income for the year, adjusted for tax on prior years' taxable income and for tax paid under the on-account tax scheme.

Companies covered by the Danish tax credit scheme (Skattekreditordningen) may obtain payment of the base of losses originating from research and development expenses subject to a statutory limit of DKK 25 million.

Prepayments

Prepayments are measured at cost. Prepayments comprise expenditures that relate to subsequent periods.

Treasury Shares

The cost and selling prices of treasury shares and dividends are recognized directly in equity. A capital reduction effected by the cancellation of treasury shares will lower the share capital by an amount equal to the nominal value of the shares.

Issue Costs

Issue costs include legal fees, placement fees, and other costs associated with the issuing of new shares.

Warrants

Proceeds received from the exercise of warrants are reflected in equity, cf. Note 5.

Lease Liabilities

The Group leases office space. Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group, except for low-value assets or short-term assets where the lease term is 12 months or less. Short term leases and leases of low value are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Lease liabilities are initially recognized at the present value of future lease payments. Initial recognition of each lease is assessed individually to determine the probability of exercising any potential extension options. Options to extend a lease term is included in the calculation of the lease liability if it is reasonably certain that the extension option will be exercised. The lease liability is measured using a discount rate equal to the incremental borrowing rate. If a lease contract is modified, the lease liability is remeasured.

Lease costs are accounted for as a single lease component. Variable service components invoiced separately are expensed as operational costs.

Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is recognized over the lease period to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period, cf. Note 13.

Tax Payable

Current tax payables are recognized on the balance sheet as calculated tax on the taxable income for the year, adjusted for tax on the prior years' taxable income and for tax paid under the on-account tax scheme.

Other Financial Liabilities

During 2024 and as of December 31, 2024, the company has no Debt to banks. Debt to banks is recognized at the raising of a loan at fair value less transaction costs. Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, applying the "effective interest rate method", to the extent that the difference between the proceeds and the nominal value is recognized on the income statement under financial expenses over the term of the loan.

Other liabilities are measured at amortized cost.

Cash Flow Statement

The cash flow statement is presented according to the indirect method and cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the year, the year's changes in cash and cash equivalents as well as the Company's cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the year.

Cash flows from operating activities are calculated as EBIT adjusted for non-cash operating items, working capital changes, financial income, financial expenses, establishment cost (subsidiaries), and income taxes paid.

Cash flows for investing activities comprise acquisitions and disposals of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and financial assets.

Cash flows from financing activities comprise changes in the size or composition of the share capital of BioPorto A/S and related costs, the raising of loans, repayment of interestbearing debt, and payment of dividends to shareholders.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand.

Financial Ratios

Earnings per share (EPS) and diluted earnings per share (DEPS) are calculated in accordance with IAS 33.

Financial ratios have been calculated in accordance with the guidelines from the Danish Society of Financial Analysts. See also "Non-IFRS financial measure".

The ratios listed in the key figures and ratios section were calculated as follows:

Revenue Growth (Revenue year 1 – Revenue year 0) x 100
Revenue year 0
Gross Margin Gross profit x 100
Net revenue
Equity Ratio Equity, closing x 100
Total liabilities, closing
Net Asset Value Per
Share at Year End
Capital and reserves, closing
No. of shares, closing

2. Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The calculation of the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities requires an estimate of how future events will affect the value of such assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. Estimates material to financial reporting are made in the calculation of, inter alia, development costs, incentive schemes, right-of-use assets, inventories, accounts receivable, and deferred taxes.

The estimates made are based on assumptions that Management finds reasonable given the circumstances, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. The assumptions may be incomplete or imprecise and unexpected events or circumstances may arise. In addition, the Company is subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to deviate from the estimates. Such estimates comprise judgements made on the basis of the most recent information available at the reporting date. It may be necessary to change previous estimates as a result of changes to the assumptions on which the estimates were based or due to supplementary information, additional experience, or subsequent events.

Similarly, the value of assets and liabilities often depends on future events that are uncertain. In that connection, it is necessary to set out e.g., a course of events that reflects Management's assessment of the probable course of events.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of estimates for some material amounts. In addition, the Group's management is required to make judgements and assumptions as to how the Group's accounting policies should be applied in certain areas.

The process of drafting financial statements involves the use of estimates and assumptions, and the application of judgement, about future events. These estimates represent the Company's assessment on the date of the financial statements. However, because of their very nature, each of these factors could produce material changes in balance sheet amounts in future years.

Estimates are updated on an ongoing basis by the Group's management and are based on past experience, other known factors, and the occurrence of future events that are reasonably expected to take place. Special care is used in this area in view of the high level of uncertainty that characterizes the macroeconomic context.

The main items affected by estimates are reviewed below.

Write-down for Inventory Obsolescence

The write-down for inventory obsolescence reflects management's estimates of the Group's loss expectations, determined on the basis of past experience and historical and projected trends for the related items. Cf. Note 14.

Non-Current Assets

Non-current assets include property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, right-of- use assets, and other financial assets. Management reviews the carrying amounts of non-current assets held and in use on a regular basis and whenever events or circumstances make such review necessary. There were no indications of impairment for 2024. The recoverable value of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets is evaluated using criteria that are consistent with the requirements of IAS 36.

Warrant Plans

The measurement of warrant plans at fair value requires the formulation of specific assumptions, the most significant of which include the value of the underlying shares on the valuation date and the expected volatility of the price/value of the underlying shares. Cf. Note 5.

Lease Impairment

Lease impairment is a non-cash charge to write-down the value of the Right-of-use asset for the Company's Needham, MA, USA lease, cf. Note 13. It is shown as its own line item in the Consolidated Statement of Loss and the Company does not consider it to be a part of its ordinary operations.

5. Share-Based Compensation

For the purpose of motivating and retaining Management and key staff and aligning their interests with those of its shareholders, BioPorto A/S uses warrants as an incentive scheme. The arrangements, which are exercised by the issuance of new shares (equity-settled share-based payment transaction), entitle the recipient to subscribe for new shares in the parent Company at a price defined on the date of grant.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, share-based compensation totaled a recovery of DKK 2.4 million and DKK 1.4 million, respectively. These amounts reflect the impact of DKK 15.3 million and DKK 5.9 million, respectively, of non-cash equity compensation recoveries related to forfeited warrants. The Board established warrant programs in 2024 pursuant to the authorization in section 18a of the Articles of Association. Each warrant granted in 2024 vests over a two to four-year service period, includes conditions on claw-back in case of e.g., erroneous financial information and provisions on accelerated vesting in case of e.g., a takeover bid and/or business combinations, other performancebased metrics and provides the holder the right to subscribe for one share in BioPorto:

Detailed terms of the new and existing warrants, including applicable vesting schedules, can be found in the Articles of Association on our website. At the end of 2024, a total of 12,470,000 warrants were outstanding, corresponding to 2.9% of the issued and outstanding nominal capital stock. Warrant terms are included in the Company's Articles of Association, which can be found at www.bioporto.com. Upon vesting, each warrant entitles the recipient to subscribe for one share in BioPorto A/S.

All share-based compensation is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Profit or Loss based on their grant date fair values. Using this model, fair value is calculated based on assumptions with respect to (i) the fair value of the Company's common stock on the grant date; (ii) expected volatility of the Company's common stock price, (iii) the periods of time over which the grantees are expected to hold their warrants prior to exercise (expected term), (iv) expected dividend yield on the Company's common stock, and (v) risk-free interest rates.

The grant date fair value of share options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The fair value of warrants are determined on the date of grant. The expected volatility is calculated based on historical data of the Company's common stock. The expected dividend yield per share is zero as the Company has never paid dividends and does not currently anticipate paying any in the foreseeable future. Risk-free interest rates are based on quoted Danish rates for securities with maturities approximating the warrant's expected term. The expected term of warrants granted is determined using the weighted average vesting period of the warrant.

Stock based compensation is reduced for actual forfeitures in the period in which the forfeiture occurs and generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period of the grant.

18. Financial Risks and Financial Instruments (continued)

Currency Risk

The Group's presentation currency is DKK, but part of its activities are denominated in currencies other than DKK, primarily USD and EUR. Consequently, there is a risk of exchange rate fluctuations having an impact on the Group's reported results.

The Group is exposed to currency risks through sales, production, R&D contracts, and payroll denominated in currencies other than Danish kroner. The Group is subjected to transaction risk related to sales and purchases in foreign currencies, and translation risk when translating foreign entities into the Group's presentation currency.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, 41% (36%) and 58% (63%) of the Group's revenue was transacted in USD and EUR, respectively, with the remainder in other currencies.

The Group has determined not to hedge its USD exposure. As the Danish kroner is pegged to the EUR, hedging of the Company's transactions in EUR is not found necessary.

Interest rate risk

The Group's exposure to interest rate risk is considered to be limited. Substantially all of the Group's assets consisted of bank deposits.

18. Financial Risks and Financial Instruments (continued)

Credit Risk

The Group's credit risk is primarily associated with trade receivables. The Company, at times, may maintain balances at banks in excess of insurance limits provided by The Danish Guarantee Fund (Garantiformuen) and US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The financial situation and ability of customers to pay trade receivables are regularly evaluated, with payment upon placement of an order required if ability-to-pay is evaluated to be low. Expected credit losses are estimated by grouping trade receivables by customer type and days past due. An estimated loss percentage is calculated based on historical credit losses and specific customer circumstances. Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.

Liquidity Risk

In connection with BioPorto's ongoing financing of operations, efforts are made to ensure sufficient financial resources are available. This assessment is performed by evaluating cash forecasts, monitoring the development of the cash position and operating cash requirements. Any potential cash shortfalls are evaluated for raising capital to ensure strategic plans are met and debt/equity could be a potential source of cash under the right facts and circumstances. If the raised capital in the first half of 2025 should fall short of expected USD 8.3m, partly or in full, the Company will be able to manage costs to execute on the core elements of the strategy. BioPorto's cash and cash equivalents totaled DKK 59.7 million and DKK 66.4 million as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, The Company's current liabilities are due within 12 months from the reporting date (in this case December 31, 2024). The only long-term liability of the Company is its lease obligation. See Note 13 for further information on when this liability is due.

Free funds are placed in bank deposits to maintain flexibility.

Capital Structure

The Board of Directors and Management regularly assess whether the Group's capital structure properly serves the interests of the Group and its shareholders.

19. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has a defined contribution 401(k) plan established for its US-based employees whereby it makes a non-elective safe harbor contribution of 3% of eligible compensation. Contribution expenses totaled DKK 0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 (DKK 0.4 million).

All of the Company's existing and proposed diagnostic products are regulated by the FDA and similar regulatory bodies in other countries and/or regions. Most aspects of development, production, and marketing, including product testing, authorizations to market, labeling, promotion, manufacturing, and record keeping, are subject to regulatory review.

After marketing or other applicable regulatory approval has been granted for its products, the Company must continue to comply with governmental regulations. Failure to comply with applicable requirements can lead to sanctions, including withdrawal of products from the market, recalls, refusal to authorize government contracts, product seizures, civil money penalties, injunctions, and criminal prosecution.

From time-to-time the Company may become involved in legal proceedings or may be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company currently believes that the final outcome of these ordinary course matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial condition or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Basis of Reporting

Differences Relative to the Group's Accounting Policies

The Parent Company's accounting policies for recognition and measurement are in accordance with the Group's policies with the exceptions set out below.

Income from Investments in Subsidiaries.

Income from investments in subsidiaries are recognized in the parent company's income statement as the proportional share of the subsidiaries results for year corresponding to the Parent Company's ownership.

Balance Sheets

Investments in Subsidiaries.

Investments in subsidiaries are recognized and measured under the equity method. Subsidiaries with a negative net asset value are recognized at DKK nil, and any receivable amount from these companies is written down by the negative net asset value to the extent it is deemed to be irrecoverable. If the negative equity value exceeds the receivable, then the remaining amount is recognized as a provision to the extent the company has a legal or constructive obligation to cover the negative value.

Current tax for jointlytaxed companies is recognized in each individual company. All jointly-taxed companies are covered by the joint-taxation liability. See disclosures related to "Deferred tax assets" and "Tax payables" in the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto.

BioPorto A/S regularly contributes capital to the subsidiary BioPorto Diagnostics A/S to support the subsidiary's operating activities. The receivable amount carries interest at an average annual rate for 2024 of 7.1%, which accrues at the end of each quarter. The Management members of BioPorto A/S and BioPorto Diagnostics A/S are identical. As BioPorto Diagnostics A/S activities account for the bulk of the Group's activities, reference is made to the Management Review, including the description of risks. Management believes that uncertainty attached to BioPorto Diagnostics A/S includes the possibility of repaying part of the Parent Company's receivable from the subsidiary which corresponds to the subsidiary's negative equity. Accordingly, a write-down has been made to reflect this.

Report on the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements

To the shareholders of BioPorto A/S

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements of BioPorto A/S for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2024, which comprise the income statement, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity and notes, including material accounting policy information, for the Group as well as the Parent, and the statement of comprehensive income and the cash flow statement of the Group. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional disclosure requirements for listed entities in Denmark, and the Parent financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the Group's financial position at 31 December 2024, and of the results of its operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2024 in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional disclosure requirements for listed entities in Denmark.

Furthermore, in our opinion, the parent financial statements give a true and fair view of the Parent's financial position at 31 December 2024, and of the results of its operations for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2024 in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act.

Our opinion is consistent with our audit book comments issued to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements" section of this auditor's report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical requirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

To the best of our knowledge and belief, we have not provided any prohibited non-audit services as referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014.

We were appointed auditors of Bioporto A/S for the first time on 23.11.2022 for the financial year 2022. We have been reappointed annually by decision of the general meeting for a total contiguous engagement period of 3 years up to and including the financial year 2024.

Key audit matters

We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.

Statement on the management review

Management is responsible for the management review.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements does not cover the management review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, our responsibility is to read the management review and, in doing so, consider whether the management review is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether the management review provides the information required by relevant law and regulations.

Based on the work we have performed, we conclude that the management review is in accordance with the Consolidated financial statements and the Parent financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the relevant law and regulation. We did not identify any material misstatement of the management review.

Management's responsibilities for the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act as well as the preparation of parent financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Group's and the Parent's ability to continue as a going concern, for disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern, and for using the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements unless Management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Entity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements and these parent financial statements.

As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's and the Parent's internal control.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Parent's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and the Entity to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content
  • of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements, including the disclosures in the notes, and whether the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and, where applicable, safeguards put in place and measures taken to eliminate threats.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on compliance with the ESEF Regulation

As part of our audit of the consolidated financial statements and the parent financial statements of Bioporto A/S we performed procedures to express an opinion on whether the annual report for the financial year 2024, with the file BioPorto-2024-12-31-en, is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the Commission Delegate Regulation (EU) 2019/815 on the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF Regulation), which includes requirements related to the preparation of the annual report in XHTML format and iXBRL tagging of the consolidated financial statements including notes.

Management is responsible for preparing an annual report that complies with the ESEF Regulation. This responsibility includes:

  • The preparing of the annual report in XHTML format;
  • The selection and application of appropriate iXBRL tags, including extensions to the ESEF taxonomy and the anchoring thereof to elements in the taxonomy, for financial information required to be tagged using judgement where necessary;
  • Ensuring consistency between iXBRL tagged data and the consolidated financial statements presented in human readable format; and
  • For such internal control as Management determines necessary to enable the preparation of an annual report that is compliant with the ESEF Regulation.

Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the annual report is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation based on the evidence we have obtained, and to issue a report that includes our opinion. The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material departures from the requirements set out in the ESEF Regulation, whether due to fraud or error. The procedures include:

  • Testing whether the annual report is prepared in XHTML format;
  • Obtaining an understanding of the company's iXBRL tagging process and of internal control over the tagging process;
  • Evaluating the completeness of the iXBRL tagging of the consolidated financial statements including notes;
  • Evaluating the appropriateness of the company's use of iXBRL elements selected from the ESEF taxonomy and the creation of extension elements where no suitable element in the ESEF taxonomy has been identified;
  • Evaluating the use of anchoring of extension elements to elements in the ESEF taxonomy; and
  • Reconciling the iXBRL tagged data with the audited consolidated financial statements.

In our opinion, the annual report of Bioporto A/S for the financial year 2024, with the file name BioPorto-2024-12- 31-en, is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation.
