Comments from CEO Fredrik Olsson 

The second quarter showed continued strong sales growth for the Company’s products and was the single best quarter in the history of the Company. Sales amounted to SEK 4.6 million, an increase of 30 percent year over year and 21 percent quarter over quarter. For the six-month period as a whole sales rose 31 percent, demonstrating stable organic growth in the product portfolio. It is particularly gratifying that we see growth in all product groups during the period.

At the end of the second quarter, we reached a settlement in the legal dispute that has been ongoing since 2014. We are pleased to have reached an agreement that gives us royalty income at good levels, but above all, the agreement is strategically important to increase the size of the market and to improve conditions for faster adoption of FabRICATOR in the production of antibody drugs. Now that there are two suppliers of the enzyme, the prospects have improved for the enzyme to be included in critical methods of analysis for the production of antibody-based drugs.

The market for antibody-based drugs is undergoing strong growth and there is a clear need to simplify and improve the analytical methods associated with production. We are now also seeing more requests for larger volumes for use specifically in quality control in the production of antibodies, for which reason I expect continued growth for FabRICATOR since we are still in an early stage.

While revenues from sales have increased sharply, the cost base--excluding the legal costs of the dispute with Promega--has declined 13 percent compared with the first half of 2015. However, the legal expenses associated with the dispute have had a negative impact on earnings for the period. As a result of the settlement, these expenses will end during the beginning of the third quarter.

It is worth noting that organic growth continues without any negative effect on gross margin, indicating efficient use of resources in the production of our products and that the price level remains at a satisfactory level.

As I look ahead to the rest of the year I expect continued good organic growth. We will increase our efforts in sales and marketing to further drive growth. A clearer presence in the Asian markets will be prioritized, while strengthening our own sales organization in North America and Europe. We will also continue to work to broaden the market for our existing product portfolio with new products aimed at new applications, at the same time that we follow the strategy of expanding the product portfolio by introducing new products. In line with this strategy, in the second quarter we launched two new products – GingisREX and FabULOUS Fab Kit. GingisREX opens a new market for us because the product can not only be used for antibodies, but also within general protein analysis. FabULOUS Fab Kit simplifies handling of antibody fragments for a certain type of antibody during production.

In May we carried out a rights issue that was oversubscribed. The additional capital, together with the strong growth we continue to demonstrate, will provide good conditions for further investments in market expansion and a continued positive trend for Genovis.

I would like to thank all of our engaged shareholders and dedicated employees for their efforts, which have resulted in yet another successful six months and created good prospects for a positive development moving forward.
