Highlights for 2020:

• Navamedic has made strategically important investments in its organization and platform, including strengthening its presence and positioning in the Dutch market and the launch of the company’s patient support program.

• In full-year 2020, Navamedic’s revenues increased by 11.2% to NOK 209.9 (NOK 188.8 million) with an EBITDA of negative NOK 1.3 million (negative NOK 6.5 million) driven by both new product launches and investments in further growth initiatives.
• Gross margin improved to 33.5% (30.5%), partly due to favourable revenues mix, reduced CoGS and other changes.
• Strengthened the company’s portfolio and offering across product categories. In 2020, Navamedic strengthened its hospital and prescription drug offering through the acquisition of Nordic marketing authorizations for a large hospital antibiotics portfolio.
• The company expanded its consumer health offering by entering a long-term exclusive distribution agreement for ThermaCare® in the Nordics and the Netherlands. Alflorex® launched in Denmark, Iceland and the Netherlands during the year, and continued growth in Norway. 
• Continued strong performance for Mysimba®, accelerated by improved reimbursement in Norway and Navamedic’s patient support program.
• Navamedic completed a private placement including a subsequent offering to raise a total of NOK 52.4 in order to fund growth initiatives as well as general corporate purposes.
