Chairman of the Board Marie Roskrow comments:

“With continuing headwinds in the markets, both macroeconomic and sector-specific, it is proving to be a tough year for sales so far. Our Q2 revenues and EBITDA were very similar to those of Q1 but positive progress was seen in all other areas of the business. Critically, we hired a CEO with a strategic mindset and a wealth of commercial experience to take AZT to the next level of excellence.

Additionally, we filed our first DMF for the SAN HQ GMP product on schedule, launched another enzyme to the market and expanded our senior management team to cover corporate development and regulatory affairs.”
