Navamedic ASA: Q4 2020 financial results

Oslo, 18 February 2021 - Navamedic ASA (OSE: NAVA) grew revenues by 17% in the

fourth quarter of 2020 compared to the same quarter last year. The company

reported revenues of NOK 55.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 with an

EBITDA of negative NOK 3.7 million driven by both new product launches and

investments in further growth initiatives. The company reiterates its mid- to

long-term ambition of building a NOK 500 million company.

"The fourth quarter of 2020 displayed strong growth in our underlying portfolio

and new products introduced during the second half of the year. Key growth

drivers continued to be Mysimba and Alflorex, while we were also pleased that

the uptake of newly added products such as ThermaCare developed as planned.

During 2020, we have made strategically important investments in our

organisation and platform. These investments will be key as we embark on 2021

and continue to launch new products and push for continued growth in our

existing portfolio," says Kathrine Gamborg Andreassen, Chief Executive Officer

of Navamedic ASA, and continues.

"The Covid-19 pandemic is evolving. We are monitoring the situation closely and

will continuously evaluate measures to limit effects on supply and demand going

forward. In the fourth quarter, we experienced volatility for Imdur caused by an

out of stock situation. The impact was however offset by strong performance in

our consumer health, medical nutrition and specialty pharma product categories."

Shortly after the quarter, Navamedic launched Cysticina® in Norway, a

nonprescription drug for treatment of symptoms of urinary infection. The company

estimates an addressable Norwegian market of NOK 100 million, with no real

nonprescription alternatives available in Norwergian pharmacies.

"Urinary infection is a troublesome and unfortunately returning problem for

women, and we are pleased to introduce Cysticina as the first real

nonsubscription alternative for treatment of urinary infection symptoms. Women's

health is key to us and we plan to launch more products in this area going

forward," says Gamborg Andreassen.

Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2020 were NOK 55.3 million (47.3 million in

the fourth quarter of 2019). The gross margin was 40.4% (29.7%), while the

EBITDA was negative NOK 3.7 million (-8.0). In full-year 2020, revenues

increased by 11% to NOK 209.9 million (188.8), while EBITDA came in at negative

NOK 1.3 million (-6.5). Navamedic will launch products in at least one country

in each launch window going forward. The company targets 20% annual growth from

2021 and reiterates its mid- to long-term ambition of building a NOK 500 million

company with strong gross margins and underlying profitability.
