Novo Holdings announces 2025 Annual Results

  • Total Income and Investment Returns in 2025 were DKK 21 billion (€2.8 billion). For 2025, Total Income and Investment Returns consisted of Income from dividends from the Novo Group companies (DKK 15 billion or €2.0 billion) and Returns from the Investment Assets Portfolio1 (DKK 5.8 billion or €0.8 billion).
  • Novo Holdings generated returns on the Investment Portfolio2 of 2.3% in DKK, and 9.2% in Constant Exchange Rates (CER). The return for 2024 in CER was 14.8%.
  • Novo Holdings’ 5- and 10-year returns are at 8.0% and 8.9%, respectively, in CER and stand well above benchmark.
  • Total Income and Returns were negatively affected by the lack of proceeds from a share buyback from Novo Nordisk A/S (Novo Nordisk A/S suspended its buyback in 2025), and the significant depreciation in the US Dollar.
  • Total Assets under Management amounted to DKK 694 billion (€93 billion) in 2025, down from DKK 1,060 billion (€142 billion) in 2024, primarily reflecting the significant drop in the market value of Novo Nordisk A/S. The Investment Portfolio grew from DKK 216 billion (€29 billion) in 2024 to DKK 226 billion (€30 billion) in 2025.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Novo Holdings today announced its financial results for 2025. The Novo Holdings Investment Portfolio continued to perform well on both an absolute and relative basis, with a return of 9.2% in CER. However, the depreciation of the US dollar by more than 11% against the Danish krone materially offset performance in Danish kroner.

Kasim Kutay, CEO of Novo Holdings, said: “We delivered a strong performance during the year, driven by, among other things, significant monetisations such as the exit of Clario and KabaFusion.3 This was achieved against a backdrop of considerable headwinds for the life sciences industry.”

Novo Holdings’ Investment Portfolio comprises Life Science Investments, the investment activities that are focused on human and planetary health, making up 52% of the total portfolio, and Capital Investments, making up the remaining 48% of the portfolio.

Activity across all Novo Holdings’ Life Science Investments teams remained high in 2025; however, there was a stronger emphasis on asset management and exits than on acquisitions. The Principal Investments Team announced the successful exits of both KabaFusion and Clario3 from the private portfolio and fully exited its public positions in Convatec and Evotec.

Novo Holdings deployed DKK 13 billion (€1.8 billion) into life sciences in 2025. In total, 12 new companies were welcomed to the Investment Portfolio, and several existing portfolio companies were supported by additional investments. During the year, Novo Holdings exited 36 companies, and the Investment Portfolio included 170 companies by year-end.

Life Science Investments closed the year with DKK 124 billion (€17 billion) of Investment Assets and generated a return of -0.3% in DKK and 9.8% in CER, corresponding to DKK -422 million (€-57 million).

Capital Investments provides global exposure beyond the life science sectors and is actively expanding and diversifying the total portfolio.

Capital Investments delivered a strong performance in 2025, outperforming benchmarks despite strong currency headwinds and a market heavily concentrated on technology and artificial intelligence (AI).
A strategy of providing global exposure beyond the life sciences sector by investing in less cyclical, resilient businesses with a high degree of recurring revenue, served Novo Holdings well throughout the year.

In 2025, Capital Investments closed the year with DKK 114 billion (€15 billion) of Investment Assets and had returns corresponding to DKK 6.2 billion (€0.8 billion). The Capital Investments Portfolio generated a return of 6.4% in DKK and 9.8% in CER.

Reflecting on a year marked by fundamental shifts within geopolitics, technology and the global investment environment, Kasim Kutay added:

“As a response to market volatility, we took a cautious approach to new investments in early 2025. Gradually, we picked up the pace which resulted in the addition of 12 new portfolio companies. Given the extreme volatility we experienced in parts of the market, I am pleased with the strong 9.2% CER return Novo Holdings generated in 2025, which comes on the heels of a 14.8% CER return in 2024. Geographically, we strengthened our position in Asia by establishing a presence in Mumbai. With enhanced asset and geographic diversification in Novo Holdings’ Investment Portfolio, I believe we remain very well-positioned to continue delivering on our purpose of improving people’s health and the sustainability of society and the planet by generating attractive long-term returns for the Novo Nordisk Foundation.”

BioVersys Announces First Patient Dosed in Phase 2b Clinical Trial of AlpE in Pulmonary Tuberculosis

 

Basel, Switzerland. March 12, 2026, 7am CET. 

  • Under the BioVersys and GSK collaboration agreement, AlpE clinical development advances with first patient dosed in Phase 2b trial within UNITE4TB, following completion of a Phase 2a in adults with drug-susceptible pulmonary TB (DS-TB) in combination with RZE.[1]
  • In the new Phase 2b trial in adults with DS-TB, AlpE will be dosed for two months together with RZE, patients then continue only with RH[2] for 18 weeks.
  • Phase 2b results are expected by the end of 2027.
  • In addition, BioVersys plans to initiate a Phase 2 trial in TB meningitis in H1 2026.

 

BioVersys AG (SIX: BIOV), a multi-asset, clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focusing on research and development of novel antibacterial products for serious life-threatening infections caused by multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria, announced today, that the first patient has been dosed in a  pulmonary TB Phase 2b clinical trial, evaluating the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of alpibectir-ethionamide (AlpE) in combination with first-line TB drugs (NCT05807399).

In this new Phase 2b trial, a portion of the recruited adults with drug sensitive pulmonary tuberculosis (DS-TB) will be dosed for 2-months with RZE in combination with AlpE, followed by 18 weeks with RH alone, to assess efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of AlpE. The study is being conducted in six African countries under the European Union’s IMI2 UNITE4TB project, with the Institute of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine, LMU University Hospital Munich as the trial sponsor. Through this Phase 2b TB drug combination trial, BioVersys and its partner GSK are progressing the development of this unique combination and taking the next step in terms of dose finding and potential positioning of AlpE in future TB drug regimens. This trial is expected to read-out by the end of 2027.

Preceding this Phase 2b trial, AlpE underwent a second Phase 2a trial in which AlpE was assessed over 14 days in an open-label trial in combination with first line TB drugs. Top-line data is expected to be available Q2 2026. AlpE was generally well tolerated in this trial, supporting the progression into Phase 2b. BioVersys also plans to initiate a Phase 2 trial in meningeal TB in H1 2026.

Alpibectir (previously known as BVL-GSK098) is a small molecule developed from BioVersys’ award winning Transcriptional Regulatory Inhibitory Compounds (TRIC) platform in a successful collaboration with GSK, the Institut Pasteur Lille and the University of Lille. AlpE’s development has been strongly supported by European Union and European Pharmaceutical Industry through Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI2) Joint Undertaking, EDCTP and now UNITE4TB. The compound represents a novel concept to overcome resistance and potentiate the activity of an existing antibiotic, ethionamide (Eto) or prothionamide (Pto), for the treatment of TB, as demonstrated in a previous 7-day early bactericidal activity Phase 2a clinical trial, recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine,[3] which provided a first human proof-of-concept. In 2023, the fixed-dose combination of AlpE was granted orphan-drug designation (ODD) for the treatment of tuberculosis by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and similarly in 2025, AlpE was granted Orphan Designation from the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

Dr. Glenn E. Dale, Chief Development Officer of BioVersys: “Alpibectir consistently shows promise as a new therapeutic option in combination with ethionamide for addressing tuberculosis. It’s considered to be generally well tolerated with a promising safety profile demonstrated across a number of Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials, and has already demonstrated clinical proof of concept, with 7-day early bactericidal activity similar to isoniazid in patients with tuberculosis in a Phase 2a study. We are now excited to investigate AlpE in this longer clinical study, in combination with first-line TB drugs.”

Prof. Michael Hoelscher, Director, Institute of Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine and Principal Investigator of the STEP2C trial: “With the evaluation of alpibectir, UNITE4TB is testing its fifth novel drug candidate in its innovative Phase 2b regimen selection platform, where we evaluate how novel assets are best combined with other licensed or new drugs. This approach will help to derisk the chance of progressing the wrong combination into Phase 3. LMU Hospital is proud to be the sponsor of a trial for such a promising drug.“

David Barros-Aguirre Head of Global Health Medicines R&D, GSK and UNITE4TB Project Lead: “Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public‑health threat, disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities in high‑burden countries. Advancing alpibectir‑ethionamide (AlpE) into a Phase 2b trial, in combination with first‑line TB drugs, represents an important step in addressing isoniazid resistance and evaluating the potential of this combination for the treatment of other forms of drug‑resistant TB. Through our longstanding partnership with BioVersys and UNITE4TB, we remain committed to changing the trajectory of the TB epidemic.”

Dr. Marc Gitzinger, Chief Executive Officer of BioVersys: “We are grateful to all our partners for their support of the clinical development of AlpE for TB patients. The unique clinical trial platform, UNITE4TB, provides the ideal opportunity to investigate AlpE’s potential benefit for TB patients. UNITE4TB is a landmark EU IHI program public and private partnership setting new standards in TB drug development and future regimen finding. We are excited to include AlpE in this program and investigate it alongside other novel assets with the potential to transform the future care for TB patients.”

 

 

 

About tuberculosis (TB)

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. It is caused by the bacterial pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). According to the WHO Global Tuberculosis Report 2025, an estimated 10.7 million people developed TB in 2024, and approximately 1.23 million died from TB.

Drug resistance continues to pose a major challenge. There were about 390,000 people who developed rifampicin-resistant TB (RR-TB) or multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) in 2024. MDR-TB remains a public health crisis and a health security threat, with global treatment success rates at only 71%.

The major burden of TB is concentrated within 30 high TB burden countries, accounting for 87% of the global total in 2024. Of those, the top eight countries for TB cases worldwide were, India (25%), Indonesia (10%), the Philippines (6.8%), China (6.5%), Pakistan (6.3%), Nigeria (4.8%), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (3.9%) and Bangladesh (3.6%). Globally, 8.3 million people were reported as newly diagnosed with TB in 2024, Significantly, it remains that 3.2% of new TB cases and 16% of previously treated cases are MDR/RR-TB.

 

About Alpibectir

Alpibectir (previously known as BVL-GSK098) is a small molecule developed from BioVersys’ award winning Transcriptional Regulatory Inhibitory Compounds (TRIC) platform in a successful collaboration with GSK, the Institut Pasteur Lille and the University of Lille. Alpibectir acts through a novel mode of action, potentiating the activity of the anti-TB drug ethionamide (Eto). Alpibectir is being studied for its potential to, lower the efficacious human dose of Eto, minimizing of dose-dependent side effects, and overcome Eto resistance. The combination alpibectir/Eto (AlpE) is being developed for the treatment of pulmonary TB and TB meningitis. In 2023 AlpE was granted orphan-drug designation (ODD) for the treatment of tuberculosis, by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) providing for certain incentives including seven years US market exclusivity. Similarly in 2025, AlpE was granted Orphan Designation from the European Medicines Agency (EMA), providing for certain incentives including 10-year EU market exclusivity.

Revenue

In 2025, PolyPeptide generated EUR 389.3 million in revenue, representing a 15.6% increase versus 2024 (+16.0% at constant currency rates).

Development revenue increased by 29.9% and commercial revenue increased by 7.9%, driven by the successful ramp-up of the new large-scale SPPS capacity in Braine l’Alleud, further improved utilization of existing assets, and continued strong demand for peptide-based therapeutics. The revenue share related to metabolics further increased to 57% (vs. 40% in 2024)2.

Throughout 2025, PolyPeptide remained committed to meeting the needs of its customers and maintaining a rich development pipeline. The active custom projects pipeline at the end of 2025 included 196 (201) projects, with 30 (32) projects for phase III. The number of commercial projects supported during 2025 increased to 68 (65).

1 This media release and key figures table include references to operational indicators and alternative financial performance measures (APM) that are not defined or specified by IFRS. These APM should be regarded as complementary information to and not as substitutes for the Group’s consolidated financial results based on IFRS. For the definitions of the main operational indicators and APM used, including related abbreviations, as well as for selected reconciliations to IFRS, please refer to the section “Definitions and reconciliations” of the Annual Report 2025.

2 The revenue share related to oncology declined to 10% (vs. 17% in 2024). Going forward, PolyPeptide will no longer separately disclose the revenue share related to oncology, as its external reporting will focus on metabolics as the main growth driver.

Profitability

In 2025, PolyPeptide delivered a marked improvement in profitability. Gross profit for 2025 was EUR 66.6 million versus EUR 39.3 million in 2024, and EBITDA was EUR 46.8 million (+84.4%) versus EUR 25.4 million in 2024. The EBITDA margin increased by 4.5 percentage points to 12.0% versus 7.5% in 2024.

The increase in EBITDA reflects an improvement of EUR 21.4 million, driven by higher production volumes, improved operational performance and product mix, as well as the ramp-up of the large-scale SPPS facility in Braine-l’Alleud (EUR +1.4 million), which was partially offset by exceptional costs from ERP-related investments (EUR -4.1 million). With an 8.1% increase in average full-time equivalents, personnel expenses were EUR 16.4 million (+13.4%) higher versus 2024, reflecting ongoing preparations for further growth, including the ramp-up of new assets and continued organizational development.

The operating result (EBIT) in 2025 was EUR 8.7 million versus EUR -7.4 million in 2024. The financial result was EUR -28.7 million versus EUR -10.8 million in 2024, driven mainly by an unfavorable revaluation of intercompany loans based on foreign exchange movements (unrealized) and non-cash financing components related to contract liabilities, while interest expense was broadly in line with prior year. The result for the year was EUR -21.2 million versus EUR -19.6 million in 2024.

Cash flow and financing

The increased profitability and preparations for growth with customer support contributed to a strong operating cash flow. Net cash flows from operating activities reached EUR 77.5 million in 2025 versus EUR 89.4 million in 2024. Inventories increased by EUR 7.9 million (+5.4% versus year-end 2024), reflecting an improved inventory turnover driven by disciplined working capital management and the Company’s procurement improvement initiative. Contract liabilities recorded further net inflows of EUR 27.4 million, bringing net proceeds from customer prepayments between 2023-2025 to EUR 156.2 million and reflecting continued customer support for capacity expansion initiatives.

Net cash flows from investing activities were EUR -111.7 million versus EUR -91.0 million in 2024, bringing free cash flow to EUR -31.4 million versus EUR 2.4 million in 2024. With net inflows from financing activities in the amount of EUR 33.8 million (2024: EUR -25.3 million), cash and cash equivalents at the end of 2025 were at EUR 74.6 million versus EUR 68.3 million at the end of 2024.

PolyPeptide announced the expansion of its existing credit facilities in May 2025. As at the end of 2025, EUR 20 million was outstanding under the unsecured short-term credit facility with the Group’s main shareholder. EUR 51 million remained available under the EUR 151 million committed revolving credit facility (RCF), with advanced negotiations for a further increase of the RCF ongoing. In addition, the capital band and conditional share capital for financing created at the general meeting held on 9 April 2025 (“AGM 2025”) provide the Group with further flexibility.

Capacity expansion

In 2025, capital expenditures reached EUR 110.0 million or 28.2% of revenue, in line with the Company’s revised guidance and reflecting investments across PolyPeptide’s manufacturing sites to meet strong customer demand.

The large-scale solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) asset in Braine-l’Alleud, Belgium achieved its target utilization rate at the end of 2025. During ramp-up, optimization measures were identified, raising potential revenues from the asset from ~EUR 100 million to EUR ~125 million. The newly added SPPS capacity at the site in Strasbourg, France, has become operational and is expected to ramp up production throughout 2026. In Malmö, Sweden, PolyPeptide achieved a significant milestone for its SPPS capacity expansion, where the pre-built modules were successfully delivered and installed in September 2025. The modules are currently undergoing mechanical completion and are on track to start ramp-up in 2027. In Torrance, plans were made in late 2025 to expand downstream capacity.

Throughout 2025, PolyPeptide engaged with customers to discuss their mid- and long-term capacity requirements as well as the evaluation of optimal manufacturing locations within the Group’s network. With geopolitical uncertainty remaining an important consideration, PolyPeptide’s manufacturing network across three continents puts the Group in a strong position to serve customers locally, as needed.

The Group continued to advance the specialization of its network as it transitions from laboratory-scale production to an industrialized manufacturing model. This increased focus on allocating activities to the sites best equipped to meet specific customer needs involved shifting projects between locations, supported by the necessary technology transfers, regulatory documentation and filings. Over time, these measures are expected to enhance operational efficiency, increase output, and contribute to revenue growth.

As part of its large-scale capacity expansion, PolyPeptide uses proprietary manufacturing technology with an integrated engineering design, advanced automation, and process control to ensure high productivity, safety, and sustainability. The Company also strives to leverage the potential for modularity and optimize the SPPS reactor size to reduce project complexity, while shortening time to market and enhancing flexibility.

Organizational progress

In 2025, the talent agenda has been further focused on enhancing the organization with industrial-scale manufacturing and supply chain capabilities, while strengthening competences for strategic growth readiness. To enhance PolyPeptide’s scalability, a new provider has been selected for the future enterprise resource planning system (ERP) to bolster the Group’s control mechanisms. To mobilize the program, technical experts were hired in 2025 to drive the ERP implementation and to support a seamless rollout across all sites.

After the successful close of the 2025 financial year, the Company announces a transition within the financial leadership of the Group. Marc Augustin has resigned as Chief Financial Officer and member of the Executive Committee for personal reasons effective 31 March 2026. During his tenure, Mr. Augustin successfully led the transformation of PolyPeptide’s global finance function, including the launch of the Group’s strategic ERP upgrade. The Board of Directors thanks him very much for his valuable contributions and wishes him well in his future endeavors. To ensure continuity, Tim Brandl, currently Director Financial Planning & Analysis and Investor Relations, will assume the role of Interim Chief Financial Officer effective 1 April 2026. Mr. Brandl joined PolyPeptide in May 2024, with broad experience in corporate finance and strategy at Lonza, and in venture capital investment management at Mountain Partners AG. In this interim role, Mr. Brandl will report directly to CEO Juan Jose Gonzalez, who will represent the finance function on the Executive Committee. The Board of Directors, together with Mr. Gonzalez, has initiated a structured search process to appoint a permanent Chief Financial Officer.

Mid-term outlook and guidance for 2026

The progress made in 2025 positions PolyPeptide well to meet its mid-term outlook. PolyPeptide targets doubling revenue reported for 2023 by 2028, with profitability approaching an EBITDA margin of 25% by 2028. Over the mid-term horizon and on average, PolyPeptide expects capital expenditures of 15% to 20% of revenue to ensure capacity also beyond 2028.

For 2026, PolyPeptide’s priority is to meet the strong and increasing customer demand. The ramp-up at the new large-scale SPPS facility in Belgium was completed successfully in 2025, providing a strong foundation for continued growth in 2026. PolyPeptide expects revenue to grow 20-25% in 2026 versus 2025, at constant currency rates. The EBITDA margin is expected to continue to rise, reaching mid- to high-teens based on top-line growth and further progress in operations, which will be partially offset by preparations for future growth as well as the ERP implementation previously announced. Growth is expected to be balanced across the year, with both the first and second halves contributing meaningfully to revenue and EBITDA development. Capex is expected to be in line with the Group’s mid-term outlook of 15-20% of revenue.

From a financing perspective, PolyPeptide expects further improvements in profitability and cash flow, customer funding support for large capacity expansion projects, and the utilization of its credit facilities.

As PolyPeptide continues to invest for growth, it will not be proposing the payment of a dividend to the AGM 2026.

Results of the 2026 Annual General Meeting for the 2024/25 financial year of BRAIN Biotech AG

BRAIN Biotech AG

/ Key word(s): AGM/EGM

Results of the 2026 Annual General Meeting for the 2024/25 financial year of BRAIN Biotech AG

Results of the 2026 Annual General Meeting for the 2024/25 financial year of BRAIN Biotech AG
 

ZWINGENBERG, Germany, March 11, 2026 – At today’s Annual General Meeting of BRAIN Biotech AG (Frankfurt Stock Exchange / BNN / ISIN DE0005203947 / WKN 5203949), shareholders approved all agenda items with a broad majority.

Dr. Ursula La Cognata of Berlin, the managing partner of ybe (Your Biotech Experts Partnership), was elected to the Supervisory Board by the Annual General Meeting for a term of four years. She had already been appointed by the Darmstadt Local Court as a new member of the Supervisory Board, effective 11 July 2025, until the next Annual General Meeting.

In his statement to shareholders, Supervisory Board Chairman Dr. Michael Majerus said: “We remain convinced that BRAIN Biotech AG has many positive development opportunities thanks to its successful product business, its strong market position in contract research, the expected revenues from the monetization initiatives as well as licensing of pharmaceutical projects, and further product innovations from the BRAINBioIncubator.”

Agile organizational structure enables fast and flexible customer solutions

In his speech, CEO Adriaan Moelker commented on the company’s strategy, stating: “We remain convinced that our two-pillar strategy, with the product-oriented BRAINBiocatalysts segment on the one hand and the BRAINBioIncubator segment on the other, is the right strategy. This approach enables us to continue to monetize our investments, achieve scientifically based breakthroughs, and organically expand a profitable, scalable, enzyme-focused business. Here we can offer our customers truly unique selling points.

According to Moelker, one of the group’s unique selling points is that, due to its relatively small size, it can respond quickly and flexibly to customer needs with short communication channels and offer innovative biotechnological solutions. The CEO emphasized the importance of maintaining this advantage, even when the company experiences stronger growth in the future.

Moelker also reported on the consolidation of the production and sales for enzymes and food ingredients for the baking and beverage industries at the new location in the Netherlands. The new building, which will house a modern baking application center, a laboratory, and production areas, is nearing completion.

A total of 61.82 % of the share capital, including postal votes, was represented at the time of voting. The detailed voting results and all other documents relating to the 2026 Annual General Meeting are available on the BRAIN Biotech AG website:

Solid Biosciences Provides Interim Positive Clinical Update on Phase 1/2 INSPIRE DUCHENNE Trial

Solid Biosciences Provides Interim Positive Clinical Update on Phase 1/2 INSPIRE DUCHENNE Trial




Solid Biosciences Provides Interim Positive Clinical Update on Phase 1/2 INSPIRE DUCHENNE Trial

– 40 participants have been dosed with SGT-003 in the INSPIRE DUCHENNE trial to date –

– Robust microdystrophin expression with consistent mechanistic evidence of dystrophin associated protein complex (DAPC) restoration and improvements in muscle integrity, including stabilization and improvement in cardiac function (LVEF) observed after treatment with SGT-003 –

– SGT-003 continued to demonstrate an encouraging safety profile and has been generally well tolerated in the 40 participants dosed as of March 11, 2026 –

– SGT-003 is administered using a lower-burden, steroid-only prophylactic immunomodulation regimen –

– The Company plans for additional meetings with the FDA in H1 2026 for guidance on a potential accelerated approval pathway for SGT-003 and expects to provide an update mid-2026 –

CHARLESTOWN, Mass., March 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Solid Biosciences Inc. (Nasdaq: SLDB) (the “Company” or “Solid”), a life sciences company developing precision genetic medicines for neuromuscular and cardiac diseases, today reported updated positive interim data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 INSPIRE DUCHENNE clinical trial of SGT-003. The new data, including additional muscle biopsy, serum biomarker, cardiac function, and safety analyses, add to a growing dataset that suggests the potential of the biological activity of SGT-003 microdystrophin therapy. The interim update was delivered in an oral presentation at the 2026 MDA Annual Meeting on March 11, 2026, by Aravindhan Veerapandiyan, M.D., Director of the Comprehensive Neuromuscular Program and Co-Director of the Muscular Dystrophy Association Care Center at Arkansas Children’s Hospital, and principal investigator in the INSPIRE DUCHENNE trial.

Bo Cumbo, President and CEO of Solid Biosciences commented, “These data continue to suggest that SGT-003 may be having a disease-relevant treatment effect, with observed robust microdystrophin expression, restoration of key components of the dystrophin-associated protein complex suggesting a direct biologic correlate of dystrophin activity, and improvements across multiple biomarkers of muscle integrity. Together with the promising safety and tolerability profile, these interim results reinforce our confidence in the potential of SGT-003 to meaningfully impact the disease course of Duchenne. Duchenne continues to have an unmet medical need. We are pursuing guidance on a potential accelerated approval pathway for SGT-003 and look forward to continued engagement with the FDA as we work toward that goal. Our focus remains on urgently advancing SGT-003 to provide the Duchenne community with an additional therapeutic choice.”

Dr. Veerapandiyan commented, “What stands out in these data is the biological consistency observed across multiple independent measures of muscle structure, health, and preservation. This, combined with an encouraging safety and tolerability profile, is compelling. Solid Biosciences’ uniquely comprehensive quantitative biomarker analyses provide critical insights into SGT-003, and based on these findings, I believe this therapy has the potential to become an important treatment option for patients living with Duchenne.”

INSPIRE DUCHENNE Updated Interim Clinical Data

INSPIRE DUCHENNE is a Phase 1/2 first-in-human, open-label, single-dose, multicenter trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of SGT-003 in pediatric participants with Duchenne at a dose level of 1E14vg/kg. SGT-003 is administered as a one-time intravenous infusion. The interim clinical data reported in this release are as of a February 23, 2026, data cutoff date.

SGT-003 has been generally well tolerated in the 40 participants dosed as of March 11, 2026. The safety and tolerability profile observed in the INSPIRE DUCHENNE trial continued to be promising; SGT-003 is administered using a low-burden, steroid-only prophylactic immunomodulation regimen. The trial is being conducted at 15 clinical sites across the US, Canada, Italy and the United Kingdom and participant dosing remains ongoing.

Microdystrophin transduction and expression levels, beta-sarcoglycan localization and nNOS activity were evaluated by biopsy in 20 participants (ages 1-10 years) at Day 90 and in 3 participants at Day 360 (Table 1). Results demonstrated robust mean vector copies per nucleus and microdystrophin expression as well as properly localized and restored beta-sarcoglycan-positive fibers and nNOS activity-positive fibers. Beta-sarcoglycan and nNOS are critical components of the dystrophin-associated protein complex (DAPC). In Duchenne, the absence of dystrophin destabilizes the DAPC, triggering a cascade of structural, signaling and metabolic defects that impair muscle integrity. Reconstituting critical components of the DAPC, including beta-sarcoglycan and nNOS, could suggest biologic correlation of SGT-003’s treatment effect. Solid’s microdystrophin construct is the only microdystrophin gene therapy, approved or investigational, that contains the R16/R17 binding domain, which uniquely localizes nNOS to the muscle.

These assays are conducted by multiple external vendors; at the time of analysis, one western blot sample and three mass spectrometry samples had not been received.

Additionally, Solid has identified an extensive biomarker panel to comprehensively evaluate treatment effect on muscle integrity. Collectively, these observed biomarker improvements at Day 90 and Day 360 suggest improved muscle fiber health and stability, reduced ongoing muscle damage, and an interruption of the chronic degeneration/regeneration cycle that is characteristic of Duchenne.

In particular, embryonic myosin heavy chain (eMHC) is an informative predictor of disease progression. eMHC is typically expressed during fetal development but is also expressed when muscle satellite cells differentiate into muscle fibers, which in Duchenne occurs in response to muscle fiber damage. In the absence of functional dystrophin, newly generated muscle fibers also fail, leading to continued but ultimately futile satellite cell activation. A mean 44% observed reduction in eMHC positive fibers seen at Day 90 (n=20) suggests that SGT-003 treatment has potentially disrupted this chronic and futile degeneration-regeneration cycle, stabilizing muscle fibers and preserving the reservoir of satellite cells.

Certain data from a subset of participants were not available at the time of analysis.

While cardiac assessments were initially included as safety evaluations, stabilization-to-improvement in systolic function continues to be observed as of the data cutoff date, as measured by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Observed improvements were driven largely by participants with low-normal baseline LVEF (defined as ≤ 60%1). Cardiomyopathy is a leading cause of death in Duchenne, with 25% of individuals displaying evidence of cardiomyopathy by six years of age, increasing to 59% by 10 years of age.2

SGT-003 Regulatory Status

As announced on February 9, 2026, Solid has reached alignment with the FDA on the overall study design for the Company’s randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 clinical trial of SGT-003, IMPACT DUCHENNE. The FDA agreed that the trial design was reasonable including: the patient population of ambulant participants 7 to <12 years of age, the primary endpoint of change from baseline in Time to Rise (TTR) velocity from supine position evaluated at 18 months and other key secondary endpoints. Participant screening is underway and the Company anticipates dosing the first participant in the IMPACT DUCHENNE trial in the first quarter of 2026.

The Company plans to have additional meetings with the FDA in the first half of 2026 to receive guidance on a potential accelerated approval pathway for SGT-003 and expects to provide additional regulatory and clinical updates mid-2026.

About Duchenne
Duchenne is a genetic muscle-wasting disease predominantly affecting boys, with symptoms usually appearing between three and five years of age. Duchenne is a progressive, irreversible, and ultimately fatal disease that affects approximately one in every 5,000 live male births and has an estimated prevalence of 5,000 to 15,000 cases in the United States alone.

About SGT-003
SGT-003 is an investigational gene therapy containing a differentiated microdystrophin construct and a proprietary, next-generation capsid, POLARIS-101™ (formerly known as AAV-SLB101), which was rationally designed to target integrin receptors, and has shown enhanced cardiac and skeletal muscle transduction with decreased liver targeting in data from the Phase 1/2 INSPIRE DUCHENNE clinical trial and in nonclinical studies. SGT-003’s microdystrophin construct uniquely includes the R16/17 domains, which localize nNOS to the muscle. Nonclinical studies have shown that nNOS can improve blood flow to the muscle thereby reducing muscle breakdown from ischemia and muscle fatigue. Together, these design features suggest that SGT-003 could be a potential best-in-class investigational gene therapy for the treatment of Duchenne.

About INSPIRE DUCHENNE
INSPIRE DUCHENNE is a first-in-human, open-label, single-dose, multicenter Phase 1/2 clinical trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of SGT-003 in pediatric participants with a genetically confirmed Duchenne diagnosis with a documented dystrophin gene mutation. INSPIRE DUCHENNE is a multinational trial designed to enroll participants in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Italy.

About IMPACT DUCHENNE
IMPACT DUCHENNE is a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of a single dose of SGT-003 in ambulatory participants aged 7 to less than 12 with a genetically confirmed Duchenne diagnosis. IMPACT DUCHENNE is a multinational trial intended to support potential regulatory authorizations.

2025 full-year results

  • Revenue: €786.4 million, down 3.5% at CER1 and like-for-like2, mainly due to the fall in activity in France
  • Profitability: restated EBITDA margin3 of 12.0% (at the high end of the adjusted range communicated in December)
  • Net Income: loss of €112.7 million, which includes a non-recurring impairment of €86 million
  • Free cash flow: in positive territory at €19.2 million
  • Indebtedness: net debt/EBITDA ratio of 4.0x, below the ceiling of 4.8x set in December 2025 under the waiver obtained by the Group from its lenders.

2026

  • Significant negative impact expected from the situation in Raleigh on revenue, profitability, cash generation and group indebtedness with a probable risk of covenant breach on June 30, 2026
  • No dividend distribution in respect of the 2025 fiscal year
  • Continuation of the transformation plan and strategic focus on sustainably improving the Group’s sales momentum and competitiveness

Villepinte, March 11, 2026, 5.45 p.m.: Guerbet (FR0000032526 GBT), a global specialist in contrast agents and solutions for medical imaging, is publishing its consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2025.

Full-year revenue came to €786.4 million, down 6.5%. After excluding the currency effect (-€22.8 million), mainly due to the depreciation of the US dollar, the Brazilian real and the South Korean won, this decline narrows to 3.8% at constant exchange rates (CER)1. At CER and on a like-for-like basis2, Guerbet’s revenue fell by 3.5% in 2025.

This decline is mainly due to two factors: the contraction in activity in France, without which sales would have been stable in 2025, and the loss of revenue in the fourth quarter linked to the situation at the Raleigh site (North Carolina).

In EMEA, full-year sales were down 2.5% at CER and on a like-for-like basis. However, after stripping out France, the region posted growth of 7.6% for the year. In France, the completion of the adaptation of manufacturing processes in line with the switch in the mix to comply with supply chain reform (from single dose to large vials) led to a return to growth in the fourth quarter of 2025.

In the Americas, full-year revenue was down 3.8% at CER and like-for-like. This decline, concentrated in the fourth quarter of 2025, was due to the delay in the release of batches produced at the Raleigh site because of the work being carried out under the compliance plan following the recommendations of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

In Asia, revenue for the year was down 4.8% at CER and like-for-like, due in particular to the loss of a major call for tenders in Vietnam.

By business, full-year revenue in Diagnostic Imaging was down 5.3% at CER and like-for-like, due to:

  • In the IRM division (-1.9%), an increase in the Dotarem® / EluciremTM franchise over the first nine months, followed by a decrease in the fourth quarter linked to the situation at the Raleigh site.
  • In the X-ray division (-7.2%), the decrease in volumes for Xenetix® and Optiray®, mainly in France.

In Interventional Radiology, revenue rose by 9.7% at CER and like-for-like in 2025, still driven by solid momentum in volumes and prices for Lipiodol®, particularly in vascular embolization.

Revenue 841.1 786.4
EBITDA 119.4 82.3
As a % of revenue 14.2% 10.5%

Operating income/(expense) 49.6 (88.2)
Net income/(loss) 13.5 (112.7)
Net debt 344.9 325.7

Net income includes a significant non-recurring impairment, with no impact on cash

In 2025, the Group generated an EBITDA margin rate representing 10.5% of revenue. Excluding non-recurring costs related to the optimization of the operating plan and the change in the sales model which totaled -€12.2 million (vs. -€6.0 million in 2024), the restated margin rate was 12.0%, at the high end of the adjusted range communicated on December 2 (between 10.5% and 12%), compared with 14.9% in 2024.

The fall in profitability is due to the decline in activity and pressure on prices, particularly in the United States where margins were penalized by the unfavorable increase in the weight of distributors in the customer mix. At the same time, the Group maintained good cost discipline, with a decrease in personnel expenses (-7.2%) and external expenses (-6.5%).

The Group made an operating loss for the year of -€88.2 million, after the recognition of €170.4 million in depreciation, amortization and provisions. This includes in particular a non-recurring impairment of €86 million recorded in relation to the current situation at the Raleigh site following the impairment tests carried out during the year, as well as a provision of €10 million relating to the future destruction of certain inventories at the Raleigh site. These two accounting items have no impact on the Group’s cash generation.

After taking into account lower financial expenses (-12.8%) of €19.4 million, and foreign exchange losses (€2.0 million) and tax (€3.1 million), the Group made a net loss of -€112.7 million, compared with a profit of €13.5 million in 2024. On the balance sheet, shareholders’ equity stood at €267 million at December 31, 2025, compared with €394 million a year earlier.

Free cash flow and Indebtedness

Free cash flow (FCF) was positive for the year at €19.2 million (versus -€9.1 million in 2024), driven by a significant improvement in working capital requirements (WCR), thanks in particular to the optimization of the average days sales outstanding (DSO).

Net debt came to €325.7 million (vs. €344.9 million in 2024), i.e. financial leverage4 (net debt/EBITDA) of 4.0x (compared with 2.9x in 2024), below the ceiling of 4.8x set in December 2025 under the waiver obtained by the Group for its covenant from its lenders.

In order to support Guerbet Group’s long-term development, the Board of Directors will propose at the General Shareholders’ Meeting of May 22, 2026 that no dividends be distributed to shareholders in respect of the 2025 fiscal year.

Update on the Raleigh site and significant negative impact expected in 2026 on revenue, profitability, cash generation and group indebtedness

At the Raleigh industrial site, the remediation plan initiated in the fourth quarter of 2025 is continuing with a new management team in place and the support of external experts. The corrective actions undertaken, including the modernization of equipment and processes, aim to respond as quickly as possible to the FDA’s requests, and thus allow a return to a normative release rate for batches produced at the plant. The batch release rate has increased compared to the fourth quarter of 2025 and will continue to increase throughout the 2026 fiscal year.

The Raleigh site plans to be ready for a new FDA inspection by the end of fiscal 2026.

It expects to return to a normative release rate by the end of 2026, allowing Guerbet to operate under normal conditions in full-year 2027.

The Group anticipates a significant negative financial impact in 2026 from the situation in Raleigh:

  • On activity mainly in North America and Latin America;
  • On profitability, due to expenses related to the compliance plan, the increase in unit costs caused by a lower level of production, and inventory destruction costs;
  • On cash generation, with free cash flow expected to be negative for the year and net debt expected to increase.

Guerbet draws attention to the probable risk of non-compliance with the net financial debt to EBITDA ratio of x3.5 tested on June 30, 2026 under the terms of the €350 million syndicated credit agreement and the €50 million EuroPP bond issue agreement and €50 million Relance bond issue agreement. If this non-compliance materializes, it would give lenders the right, subject to certain majorities being reached, to declare their debt due and payable in advance from the second half of 2026.

The Board of Directors has approved the Group’s consolidated financial statements today in accordance with the going concern principle. The audit procedures on the consolidated financial statements have been carried out and the auditors’ report, which will mention a significant uncertainty related to the going concern assumption due to the probable risk of non-compliance with the debt ratio mentioned above, is currently being issued.

The going concern assumption is therefore based on the assumption that a waiver will be obtained from the lenders. If this assumption is not met, the going concern assumption used for the financial statements as of December 31, 2025 may not be appropriate.

Guerbet is confident in its ability to find a satisfactory solution within a timeframe that is compatible with its contractual commitments.

Pursuing its transformation plan and strategic priorities

Guerbet’s teams remain fully committed to implementing the transformation plan launched in autumn 2025, aimed at strengthening sales momentum and restoring long-term profitability. This plan is based on three strategic priorities:

  • Strengthen operational efficiency in Diagnostic Imaging by improving the competitiveness of the X-ray activity – in particular by streamlining the reference portfolio, promoting multi-dose (large) vials and optimizing industrial processes – while continuing to gain market share in MRI thanks to the Dotarem®/Elucirem™ franchise, with a ramp-up for the latter through geographical expansion and new indications.
  • Support the strong momentum in Interventional Radiology (average full-year growth of +16.1% since 2012) by capitalizing on the positioning of Lipiodol® as the reference treatment for HCC (liver cancer), the growth in its use for vascular embolization, and the potential of Lipiojoint in the management of osteoarthritis.
  • Improve productivity and cash generation by focusing on the twin aims of reducing fixed costs by implementing a plan to completely overhaul the support functions across the Group’s entire geographical scope, improving commercial and industrial efficiency and strengthening the financial structure through cash generation, based on rigorous management of working capital requirements (control of payment deadlines, optimization of inventories) and strict control of purchases. The full effect of this transformation plan is expected to be visible in fiscal 2027. The implementation of these measures in the French scope will be subject to consultation with the employee representative bodies for projects falling within their remit.

In this environment, the Group will communicate its 2026 targets at the latest when it presents its first-half revenue on July 23, 2026.
