Formycon Reports Steady Performance in Q1 2024 Despite Challenges

Formycon AG disclosed its financial results for the first quarter of 2024, announcing a revenue of €17.7 million. Despite a decrease from the previous year's €32.4 million, the corporation aligns its outcomes with strategic investments and corporate ventures, contributing to a long-term growth plan. Notably, the adjusted Group EBITDA stood at €-1.2 million, reflecting robust participation in the FYB201 project alongside partner Bioeq AG.

The German biotech firm noted significant investment activities, including a cash capital increase involving Gedeon Richter, raising a substantial €82.8 million. This financial boost aims to further several biopharmaceutical projects, including FYB206, FYB208, and FYB209, with plans to initiate FYB210 later this year. Formycon's net working capital significantly increased to €84.2 million as of March 31, 2024, illustrating a strong financial position.

Operational achievements include the FDA and EMA's ongoing review of FYB202, a biosimilar candidate, with a commercial launch expected by mid-2025 tentatively. The company is also preparing for key approvals for other biosimilar candidates, potentially enhancing revenue streams from 2025 onwards.

New strategic partnerships and continuous product pipeline development reaffirm Formycon's commitment to expanding its market presence in the biosimilar sector, which is poised for significant growth. The company sustains its positive outlook for the 2024 financial year, backed by a comprehensive strategic and operational roadmap.
