Outlook 2009

Good start in financial year 2009:

  • •Upward trend in Revenue and EBIT continues
  • •No severe effects of global economic crisis until now

But the downturn cycle will hit us as well. When? How fast? How hard?

  • •Higher uncertainties and risks demand higher alertness and vigilance
  • •Capital allocation discipline
  • •Investments in capacity expansion and R&D
  • • First cost cutting measures initiated, cost control further enhanced

Our goals for the year 2009:

  • •Increase in sales of about 10 %, EBIT stable at € 55 m
  • • EBIT 2009 on level of 2008 due to potential exchange rate impact and unabsorbed facility costs resulting from expansion of production capacity

Cytotect® study is gaining speed

Study to prevent CMV infection and their sequelae in children of mothers who acquired a primary CMV infection during pregnancy

Pregnant women screened

Current status:

  • •1,502 women have been screened
  • •Very complex study protocol
  • • Project is in re-evaluation process to optimise recruitment and study procedures
  • • International extension of study ongoing
  • • Number of women to be screened(initially: 20,000) can most probably be reduced

Intratect® Human Immunoglobulin G

Treatment of chronic idiopathic pain syndromes

• Treatment of patients previously non-responders to available commonly accepted pain therapies

Time course of VAS scales: mean values

Preliminary analysis of pain scales (visual analogue scale, VAS) proves benefit of treatment, i.e. decrease of VAS, in a relevant proportion of patients (ca. 30 %)

Summary of results from ongoing clinical studies

Rheumatoid Arthritis −Phase IIa

  • •Multiple dose escalation study
  • •i.v and s.c. application
  • • 75 % of patients receive BT-061, 25 % receive placebo
  • • first effective s.c. dose levelsreached. Clinical response observed in62.5 % of patients
  • • maximal efficacy is expected to be identified by further dose escalation in ongoing study

Psoriasis −Phase I/IIa

  • •Single dose escalation study
  • •i.v and s.c. application
  • • 75 % of patients receive BT-061, 25 % receive placebo
  • • in relevant therapeutic dose ranges (i.v.) clinical response observed in 75 % of all patients
  • • individual patients show improvement of PASI score up to 88 %
  • • long-lasting effect already at low doses

Until today 146 individuals have been enrolled. BT-061 was generally well tolerated.
