Bavarian Nordic Announces 2011 Full Year Results
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
KVISTGAARD, Denmark, March 8, 2012 - Bavarian Nordic A/S (OMX: BAVA) today
published its 2011 Annual Report. The 2011 financial statements show improved
revenue, result before tax and year-end cash preparedness compared to the
announced outlook for the year. Revenue was DKK 524 million, compared with a
guidance of DKK 500 million. The revenue was primarily generated from the
deliveries of four million doses of IMVAMUNE® to the US health authorities. The
Group recorded a loss before tax of DKK 296 million, compared with a guided loss
of DKK 350 million. The improved financial result was due to costs that were
lower than anticipated, mainly related to a slight delay in the initiation of
the PROSTVAC® Phase 3 trial, as well as ordinary cost-saving initiatives. At
year-end 2011, the cash preparedness was DKK 704 million, compared with the
latest upgraded guidance of DKK 650 million.
For 2012, Bavarian Nordic expects revenue at the level of DKK 850 million and a
pre-tax loss at the level of DKK 200 million. The revenue will primarily be
generated from deliveries of seven million doses IMVAMUNE® to the US Strategic
National Stockpile. The cash preparedness at year-end is expected to be roughly
DKK 350 million.
Group key figures are found at the end of this announcement. The full financial
statements for 2011 are available in the annual report which can be downloaded
from the Company's website: www.bavarian-nordic.com
Anders Hedegaard, President & CEO of Bavarian Nordic said: "2011 was a year of
substantial achievements, making it among the best operational years in our
history. We met our two major objectives for the year: initiating Phase 3 trials
with PROSTVAC® and delivering four million doses of IMVAMUNE® smallpox vaccines
