Vistin Pharma ASA: Fourth quarter 2021 financial results
Oslo, Norway, 17(th) of February 2022
Vistin Pharma ASA (Vistin Pharma, OSE: VISTIN) today announces the financial
results for the fourth quarter 2021
Revenue in fourth quarter ended at MNOK 78 compared to MNOK 64 in Q4 2020. The
revenue increase was driven by higher sales volume (+29%) and sales prices,
partly offset by a significant stronger NOK vs EUR compared to last year.
Fourth quarter EBITDA ended at MNOK 12.2 (Q4'20: MNOK 13.9) a 13% decrease
compared to similar quarter last year. The lower EBITDA in Q4'21 was driven by a
stronger NOK vs EUR, increased raw material prices, record high international
freight costs, bonus accrual and significantly higher electricity prices in the
quarter compared to last year. Currency neutral EBITDA in Q4'21 compared to
Q4'20 shows an increase of approx. 15%.
The net profit for the group ended at MNOK 7.2 (Q4'20: MNOK 8.6) for the fourth
quarter of 2021.
Vistin Pharma had cash of MNOK 36 (Q4'20 MNOK: 77) as of 31 December 2021.
