Significant new partnerships based on data-driven platforms

H1 2022 – Highlights & lowlights

Highlights

  • Major expansion and extension of targeted protein degradation alliance with BMS
  • Several new integrated drug discovery, INDiGO, CMC, sample management agreements
  • New collaborations with Almirall (dermatology), Boehringer Ingelheim (iPSC; Ophthalmology), Eli Lilly (E.MPD), Janssen (TargetAlloMod) and Sernova (iPSC; Diabetes)
  • Strong demand and high capacity utilisation yields excellent gross margin in base business
  • Just-Evotec Biologics still in its build-up phase; Number and value of new partnerships more than doubled versus H1 2021
  • Co-owned pipeline projects progressing well
  • Addition of cGMP cell therapy manufacturing through acquisition of Rigenerand, now Evotec (Modena)
  • Expansion of EVOequity portfolio with new equity stakes in promising companies like e.g. Sernova

Lowlights

  • Delays in pipeline milestones and of revenue recognition from scaling continuous biologics manufacturing
  • Termination of development of P2X3 antagonist eliapixant by Bayer
  • Strong headwinds from rising energy and material costs and overall inflation

Keeping the pace

Financials H1 2022 & FY 2022 guidance
