Announcement according to Article 17 European Market Abuse Regulation (MAR)
Biotest exceeds Revenue guidance 2021
Dreieich, 16 February 2022. According to preliminary and not yet audited figures, Biotest AG increased its revenues by more than 6.5 % to € 515.6 million in fiscal year 2021, compared to € 484.2 million in the previous year. The increase in sales, which is above the full-year guidance, is primarily due to the strong demand for immunoglobulins and the marketing authorisation in France for the human intravenous immunoglobulin preparation Intratect(R).
The depreciation at the end of the 2021 financial year for the plasmatic coagulation factor VIII deteriorated the operating result by € 40.1 million. The background to this is that the manufacturing process of Biotest preparations is a co- production. In the production of immunoglobulins, the precursor of factor VIII is always produced as well. However, the demand for coagulation factors cannot keep up with the enormous demand for immunoglobulins, especially since in the therapeutic field, Factor VIII plasma proteins also compete for use with synthetically produced drugs such as recombinant, half-life extended factor concentrates or non-coagulation factor therapies. Without this one-off effect of the impairment, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amount to € - 7.0 million in 2021. Biotest has thus achieved the original EBIT guidance of March 2021, adjusted for the one-off effect, of € - 5 to - 10 million.
Biotest will publish final results for the Financial Year 2021 and the annual report on March 24, 2022.
