PRESIDENT AND CEO SEMI KORPELA:
Business recovered both in Europe and China in the second half of 2020
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Biohit’s business in the second half of the 2020 was more moderate than in the first half of the 2020. Our business recovered both in Europe and in China. The Middle-East market was almost at a standstill during the second half of the year 2020.
Our revenue decreased by 29 % compared to 2019. Our revenue on the second half of 2020 was EUR 4.1 million and it decreased by 19 % compared to the second half of 2019. Operative EBITDA decreased to EUR -1.2 million (EUR +0.6 million) of which the second half of the year generated EUR -0.2 million (EUR +0.2 million). We reached EUR 0.7 million savings in fixed costs as a result of the cost savings actions taken by the company. We accounted EUR -0.2 million in provision of obsolete inventory relating to products which sales stopped at the beginning of the year due to pandemic. Our cash at the end of the period remained on a good level EUR 1.0 million (EUR 1.3 million) due to the company’s effective working capital management. Cash flow from the operating activities was positive EUR +0.2 million during the second half of the year.
Comprehensive income for 2020 was very negatively impacted by the fair value change in the investment in not listed Genetic Analysis AS shares, EUR -2.9 million. The fair value change had no impact on the cash flow. The COVID-19 pandemic created an extra challenge on the Genetic Analysis AS financing round.
The pandemic has resulted in a shortage of components in some areas and the company has increased inventories for certain components in order to secure deliveries to distributors at the beginning of 2021.
Main agreements and GastroPanel® Quick Test
Despite the pandemic we made international distribution agreements for different product groups during the year 2020. We signed an agreement over the distribution of GastroPanel® QuickTest with Concile GmbH in Germany. In Algeria Hydra pharm s.a.r.l is our new QuickTest distributor. We also signed the exclusive distribution agreement with TPX Medik for distribution of Biohit GastroPanel® test in Malaysia. We also extended our agreement with SOK for the distribution of Acetium lozenge in their co-operative stores. In addition we signed an extension contract with GrandPharma for Acetium capsule production and distribution locally in China.
An important achievement during the review period was the new manufacture and licensing agreement with Biohit’s long term distributor Melon OOO regarding local GastroPanel® production in Russia. The local production enables better utilization of Russia’s Ministry of Health recommendation for early detection of gastrointestinal diseases. Business in Russia grew compared to the previous year despite the COVID-19 impact.
The development of the GastroPanel® Quick Test has been suspended since the beginning of the year 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The study will continue when the safety conditions for running the study can be secured. It is priority for Biohit to secure the safety of both its own personnel and partners in all operations including clinical studies. We estimate that the study will restart in the first quarter of 2021. The product will be CE marked as soon as the clinical trials are completed.
I want to thank all our stakeholders for good co-operation in 2020. Special thanks to the Biohit personnel for the excellent performance during this exceptional year.
OUTLOOK FOR 2021
Biohit expects its 2021 revenue to grow significantly comparing with 2020 (previous year EUR 7.1 million).
The COVID-19 pandemic still creates uncertainty for the 2021 outlook. More information on the risks can be found in the section “short-term risks and uncertainty factors”.
REPORTING
Biohit's product portfolio consists of diagnostic tests, analysis systems, products binding carcinogenic acetaldehyde into a harmless compound, monoclonal antibodies, as well as laboratory operations for research and development. The entire product and service portfolio is reported under a single segment.

BALANCE SHEET, FINANCING AND OPERATIONAL CONTINUITY
On the 31 December 2020 the balance sheet totalled EUR 10.8 million (EUR 17.4 million 31 Dec 2019). At the end of the reporting period our equity ratio stood at 80.8 % (83.9 % 31 Dec 2019).
The balance sheet have decreased mainly due to Hefei patents amortization by EUR 1.5 million, decrease in Genetic Analysis AS fair value by EUR 2.9 million, negative EBITDA EUR 1.2 million and decrease in the working capital EUR 1.3 million.
Biohit Oyj have relatively stable financing position despite the pandemic. On the 31 December 2020 company’s financial assets totalled EUR 5.3 million (EUR 5.6 million) which does not include Genetic Analysis AS shares.
The company has managed to keep its working capital on a good level and the management believes that working capital will cover the operations for the next 12 months and the company is not dependent on external financing to be able to guarantee the continuity of its operations. Cash flow from operating activities was EUR -0.0 million during the review period and EUR +0.2 million during the second half of the year. Company’s management assessment is that company’s ability to continue its operations is good and there are no indications towards events or circumstances that alone or together might give a significant reason to doubt the organisation’s ability to continue its operations.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND CLINICAL STUDIES
R&D operations focus on innovations, as well as product development and further improved usability. Biohit also employs external experts and subcontractors in its R&D operations.
Development expenditure has not been capitalised. Research and development expenditure during the 1-12/2020 reporting period amounted to EUR 1.0 million (EUR 1.2 million) of which the second half-year accounted for EUR 0.5 million (EUR 0.6 million).
In July 2020 the results of a clinical study conducted by the Oulu University Hospital Gastrocenter and Outpatient Department of Internal Medicine in 2017-2020 were published in an international scientific journal in the field of gastroenterology. This study was focused on patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), who are known to have a markedly increased risk of contracting also autoimmune-type atrophic gastritis (gastric mucosal atrophy and dysfunction). The result showed that atrophic gastritis is more common in AITD and DM1 patients compared to the general population and that the GastroPanel® is excellent test for early detection of gastric mucosal changes and the associated risks of gastric cancer and others in these patient groups.
The development of ColonView ELISA Test, automated screening test intended for detection of fecal occult blood (FOB) in stool samples has continued in 2020.
The status of GastroPanel® Quick Test is reported in CEO’s comments section.
INVESTMENTS
Gross investments during the the 1-12/2020 reporting period totalled EUR 0.0 million (EUR 0.0 million).
PERSONNEL
During the review period the Biohit Group employed on average 45 (46) people of whom 36 (37) were employed by the parent company and 9 (9) by the subsidiaries.
SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS
Biohit’s key risks are related to to prolongation of coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, the success of product registrations, the selection and development of new market areas and distribution channels and personnel recruitment.
Significant short-term risks are associated with the normalization of Biohit’s product demand and the success of product registration. The recent increase in uncertainty factors associated with international politics may have an unfavourable impact on the company's business. It is also critical in the short-term to implement the changes in Biohit’s product portfolio and processes according to new EU regulation, 2021 (MDR) and 2022 (IVDR), so that the sales of the existing products can continue.
Prolongation of COVID-19 pandemic can increase bad debt risk among Biohit’s international distribution network. The continuation of the shortage of components due to the COVID-19 pandemic may also have a negative impact on Biohit’s sales.
The duration of the product registration process is different in each market area. For this reason it is not possible to accurately assess the time taken for the authorities to handle registrations and for product sales to begin. The distributor is responsible for the registration process.
When investing liquid assets the objective is to gain a return on investment with a minimum risk of equity loss. The investment portfolio consists of deposits, money market investments and corporate loans. A fundamental aspect in portfolio management is sufficient diversification across different asset classes, investment instruments and counterparties. The investment portfolio is subject to interest rate risk, which is managed by adjusting the duration of the portfolio. In addition general instability in the financial markets impacts negatively on the value of the investment portfolio.
The Group’s investment in Genetic Analysis AS unlisted shares is subject to changes in the terms of transactions involving the company’s shares that take place between third parties. A negative change of 30 % in the valuation of Genetic Analysis AS shares would have a negative pre-tax impact of EUR 0.2 million on the Group comprehensive income. Investment in Genetic Analysis AS is also subject to changes in EUR/NOK foreign exchange rate. In addition Genetic Analysis AS is dependent on securing external financing in its operations. Genetic Analysis AS valuation changes have no effect on company’s cash flow.
Biohit’s customer base is widely diversified, with the exception of GastroPanel® sales in China, which currently represents a major single business for Biohit. For this reason the company is dependent on the success of this business in China. Otherwise the company is not significantly dependent on individual customers or project deliveries. Most of the company’s business is conducted in euro and the indirect effects of currency exchange rate fluctuations are considered insignificant.
BOARD’S PROPOSAL FOR DISTRIBUTIONS OF PROFIT
The parent company's distributable funds (unrestricted equity) on 31 December 2020 are
EUR 5,905,188.50 of which the period net loss is EUR 3,350,126.90. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that no dividend be paid for the fiscal year.
MAIN EVENTS IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR (H2)
The usefulness of Biohit GastroPanel® biomarkers in diagnosis of atrophic gastritis confirmed in a multi-center study in France
A significant confirmatory evidence to the previous studies on GastroPanel® biomarkers in diagnosis of atrophic gastritis and related gastric mucosal changes and associated gastric cancer and other risks was provided by a recently published multi-center study from France. This prospective multi-center study from a low-risk region of gastric cancer was conducted by the researches in the University Hospital of Nantes.
Decisions of the Annual General Meeting of Biohit Oyj
The AGM resolved that seven (7) members are elected to the Board of Directors and that professor Osmo Suovaniemi, CEO Franco Aiolfi, emeritus professor Matti Härkönen, Commercial Counsellor Eero Lehti, Ph.D. Lea Paloheimo, CEO Liu Feng and professor Timo Joensuu are elected as members of the Board of Directors until the end of the next AGM.
Biohit GastroPanel® test applicability was studied clinically in patients with autoimmune disease
This study was completed at the Outpatient Department of Internal Medicine (Oulu University Hospital), and the report of the results was recently accepted for publication in an international gastroenterology journal.
TPX Medik appointed as the exclusive distributor of GastroPanel® test in Malaysia
Biohit Oyj and TPX Medik (Selangor, Malaysia) have signed a contract on the exclusive rights for distribution of Biohit GastroPanel® test in Malaysia. This is a major milestone in the global expansion strategy of Biohit Oyj’s GastroPanel®.

FINANCIAL ASSETS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE 31.12.2020
*In the 2020 financial statement the fair value of Genetic Analysis share, 0.8 MEUR, was valuated based on the completed 3rd party transaction in a share issue of Genetic Analysis AS. The Genetic Analysis reached 3.2 MEUR financing in the share issue which decreased Biohit’s shareholding from previous 12 % to 8 %. Biohit did not participate in the share issue. FINANCIAL ASSETS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE 31.12.2019
The company has classified the hierarchies of financial assets according to the availability of data on market terms and other price data. In significant part, the fair values of level 2 instruments are based on other input data than the quoted prices included in level 1, although this data can be obtained for the assets or liabilities in question either directly (as a price) or indirectly (as a derivative of the price). The Group uses generally accepted valuation models to determine the fair values of these instruments, and the input data for these models are based in significant part on observable market data. The level in the fair value hierarchy at which a certain item measured at fair value is classified overall is determined on the basis of the significant input data on the lowest level with regard to the entire item measured at fair value. The significance of input data is evaluated in its entirety in relation to the item valued at fair value. The book value of trade and other receivables and payables and cash and cash equivalents which are measured at amortised cost corresponds to their fair value due to their short maturities. Other current financial assets on level 1 and 2 consists of fixed income funds and corporate loans. Other current financial assets on level 3 consists of the Group’s investment in unlisted shares of Genetic Analysis AS. In addition one of the corporate loans is categorized on level 3 in year 2020. |
