BRAIN Biotech AG reports final half-year figures for fiscal year 2024/25
ZWINGENBERG, Germany, May 28, 2025 – BRAIN Biotech AG, a leading provider of specialty enzymes and innovative biological solutions for industry, published its final financial figures for the first six months of fiscal year 2024/25. BRAIN Biotech Group generated €25.2 million in revenue during the first half of the fiscal year, which is a 7.2 % decrease from the previous year (€27.2 million). This decline is primarily due to the subdued general economic environment and resulting delays in concluding new contracts for tailor-made solutions projects. Revenue fell by €2.4 million in the second quarter of 2024/25 compared to the previous year's period, dropping from €14.5 million to €12.1 million. This decline is due to the negative economic effects mentioned above and a one-time effect in the previous year: €1.5 million milestone payment for the clinical progress in developing the investigational pharmaceutical drug compound deucrictibant (formerly PHA 121). Adriaan Moelker, the CEO of BRAIN Biotech AG, said, "The general economic environment for service providers in research-intensive areas has unfortunately continued to deteriorate. Our enzyme-focused product business is performing comparatively better, though still below original expectations at the beginning of the year. We are currently focusing all our efforts on laying the groundwork for accelerated growth in the future and optimizing our running costs." At the end of the second quarter, the company still holds a high level of cash and cash equivalents totalling € 14.9 million. Segment development Sales in the core segment BRAINBiocatalysts (enzymes, microorganisms, and ingredients) amounted to €22.7 million in the reporting period, representing a slight increase of 0.9 % compared to the same period last year (€22.5 million). Sales in this segment were below the original forecast due to the weakening general economic environment and negative currency effects from the US dollar in the second quarter of the fiscal year. Adjusted EBITDA was €1.4 million, down €0.2 million from last year due to weaker sales momentum and a higher cost base for the originally envisaged growth phase. Revenue in the BRAINBioIncubator segment (research-intensive R&D projects with industrial partners and internal projects) amounted to €2.5 million. This number was €2.3 million below the previous year, when reported revenue was €4.8 million. The previous year's revenue was strongly influenced by the €1.5 million milestone payment received for the deucrictibant (PHA 121) project. Additionally, delays in the conclusion of new contracts for Tailor-Made Solutions R&D projects contributed to the current period´s revenue decline. Adjusted EBITDA decreased slightly from €-0.3 million to €-0.7 million. BRAIN Biotech Holding primarily includes personnel and other expenses related to group administration, further development of the BRAIN Biotech Group, stock exchange listing costs, central group financing, and M&A activities. The segment adjusted EBITDA amounted to € - 1.8 million, which is only slightly below last year's level of € -1.7 million and in line with the full-year forecast. Fiscal year forecast As already previously announced, the company is lowering its fiscal year forecast due to the weakening general economic environment and strong currency fluctuations in the US dollar. The company now forecasts sales in its BRAINBiocatalysts core segment for the full 2024/25 fiscal year to be around the previous year's level and thus below the original forecast. The outlook for the adjusted EBITDA margin in this segment and the forecast for the BRAINBioIncubator segment remains unchanged. Key financial data for the six months of the fiscal year 2024/25
