Message from the CEO
The second quarter was characterized by strategic expansion. We completed the acquisition of KPL, launched new products across several parts of the business and strengthened underlying profitability. The reported figures were affected by one-off costs related to the acquisition, but beneath the surface, they reflect a broader and more resilient business.

Net sales amounted to SEK 34,316 thousand (28,871), an increase of 19 percent compared with the corresponding period last year, or approximately 21 percent adjusted for currency effects.

 Reported operating profit was affected by transaction-related one-off costs of approximately SEK 3.5 million associated with the acquisition of KPL. At the same time, underlying profitability strengthened significantly. Adjusted EBITDA amounted to SEK 10,336 thousand (6,036), corresponding to a margin of approximately 30 percent, while adjusted EBIT nearly doubled compared with the previous year. The acquisition will also result in increased depreciation and amortization of approximately SEK 0.7 million per quarter going forward. Excluding the one-off items, the underlying profitability trend was very strong and confirms the resilience of our business model during a period of strategic expansion.
 
Genovis is built on enzyme technologies used across three complementary areas:

  • protein analysis and drug development
  • Genomics based on our RNase inhibitor technology
  • Proteomics with a growing offering following the acquisition of KPL

The established analysis business performed strongly during the quarter. Excluding the service business, product sales grew by approximately 20 percent, or approximately 22 percent adjusted for currency effects. Demand was healthy across several customer segments, with growth among both large pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies. The service business, however, was significantly weaker than in the corresponding quarter last year. As it is project-based, revenue varies between quarters, but we continue to see good opportunities to develop the business.
 
Genomics performed very strongly during the quarter and delivered its best quarter to date. Sales of SEQguard were the clearest growth driver and gained broad traction among leading academic institutions, largely through our partnership with Plasmidsaurus. At the same time, the business is broadening and becoming less dependent on individual large customers, making it more resilient. Genomics is on track to become a central part of our future growth.
 
Within the analysis business, our ADC technologies are currently used primarily for research and method development. We are also seeing growing interest in applying the same technologies to the development and manufacturing of new ADC therapeutics. Over time, this creates an opportunity to complement our product sales with licensing revenue and recurring revenue linked to commercial manufacturing. We are currently engaged in discussions with several customers that are evaluating our technologies for their clinical programs. This development remains at an early stage but represents a significant long-term growth opportunity.
 
During the quarter, we also continued to strengthen our platform. The acquisition of KPL on June 1 broadens our product portfolio and customer base within Proteomics and strengthens our position in an attractive market with favorable long-term growth prospects.
 
We also continue to develop our innovation platform. On June 26, we launched AlligBAITOR — a new product for antibody enrichment and native antigen release — and received the first orders before the end of the quarter, confirming early market interest.
 
Overall, the second quarter represented an important step in Genovis’ development. We strengthened underlying profitability while continuing to broaden the business and create the conditions for sustained long-term growth.
 
A quarter of this magnitude places significant demands on the organization, and I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all Genovis employees for your commitment and your ability to deliver during a period of change. I would also like to warmly welcome our new colleagues from KPL. With a broader product portfolio and a more diversified business, I look forward to what we can achieve together during the second half of the year and to the opportunities ahead as we continue to create value for customers and shareholders.

Genovis AB today announces the commercial launch of AlligBAITOR™, a novel immunoglobulin-binding protein that expands the company’s offering in advanced protein analysis. The product enables capture of all major antibody isotypes and uniquely facilitates the release of antigens from antibody-antigen complexes under native conditions. Together with the high-performance enzymes added through the recent acquisition of KPL, AlligBAITOR strengthens Genovis’ proteomics offering by enabling new workflows for the analysis of complex biological samples. The product has already been evaluated by researchers and industry experts across multiple application areas, consistently demonstrating its potential to enable new and improved workflows.

AlligBAITOR represents a new category of tools within the Genovis portfolio and complements the company’s established SmartEnzymes™ platform. Through high-affinity binding to the Fab region of immunoglobulins, the product captures all major antibody isotypes, including IgG, IgA, IgM, and IgE, from complex biological matrices such as human serum.

Unlike traditional antibody-binding proteins such as Protein A and Protein G, which bind only selected antibody classes, AlligBAITOR provides broad isotype coverage. In addition, the product offers a unique capability to release antigens bound to antibodies while preserving their native structure. This opens new possibilities across proteomics, bioanalysis, and diagnostics.

Interest from early access users has been strong across multiple application areas, including proteomics research, bioanalytical characterization, and diagnostic development. The broad application potential is further supported by independent academic validation. A recently published preprint from Professor Albert Heck’s group at Utrecht University, one of the world’s leading centers in protein mass spectrometry, demonstrates the utility of AlligBAITOR in advanced proteomics workflows and the analysis of complex biological samples.

“What has impressed me most during the early access phase is the breadth of interest we’ve seen across very different customer groups. Researchers in proteomics, bioanalysis, and diagnostics have all identified applications relevant to their work. This confirms that AlligBAITOR is not built around a single workflow but rather represents a platform with the potential to enable entirely new analytical strategies,” says Rolf Lood, VP R&D at Genovis.

AlligBAITOR™ is available in two product formats.

AlligBAITOR™ Lyophilized enables pan-Ig capture in solution and can simultaneously release antigens from antibody-antigen complexes under fully native conditions without the use of denaturing reagents. This capability has been demonstrated using clinically relevant antibody-antigen pairs, including trastuzumab-HER2 and adalimumab-TNFα.

AlligBAITOR™ Affinity Purification is supplied as ready-to-use microspin columns and enables rapid enrichment or depletion of immunoglobulins from serum. This improves the detection of low-abundance proteins in complex biological samples and creates new opportunities across proteomics, bioanalysis, and diagnostics.

“AlligBAITOR represents more than a product launch. Together with the proteomics tools added through the acquisition of KPL, the product strengthens our offering in advanced protein analysis and enables integrated workflows for serum and plasma proteomics. By combining immunoglobulin capture, antigen release, and high-performance enzymes in a coordinated solution, we create new opportunities for researchers to analyze complex biological samples and develop next-generation proteomics methods,” says Fredrik Olsson, CEO of Genovis.

Genovis AB (publ) (“Genovis”) today announces that it has entered into an agreement to acquire, and completed the acquisition of, 100 percent of the shares in KPL ApS (“KPL”), a Denmark‑based life science tools company with a proprietary portfolio of precision enzymes (proteases), both commercialized and in development, for mass spectrometry‑based protein analysis across academic research, diagnostics and drug development. The acquisition expands Genovis’ enzyme platform into a complementary, fast-growing, high‑usage segment of protein analysis. By adding KPL’s proprietary protease portfolio alongside SmartEnzymes™, Genovis strengthens its coverage of LC‑MS‑based proteomics, creating tangible value through more reliable, scalable, and integrated workflows. The total consideration consisted of an upfront payment of MDKK 30.5, settled partly in cash and partly through 1,395,587 newly issued Genovis shares at a subscription price of SEK 20.03 per share (the “Consideration Shares”), issued pursuant to the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting on 18 May 2026, and a variable, sales-based earn-out, payable in 2030.

KPL is a Denmark‑based private life science tools company headquartered in Copenhagen, founded by Tanveer Singh Batth, Cristina Hernandez Rollan, and Jesper Velgaard Olsen, developing and marketing recombinant, sequencing‑grade proteases for bottom‑up proteomics workflows — Lys‑C, Arg‑C Zero™, Trypsin RMS, and Trypsin/Lys‑C premium mix. The company’s products are used in mass spectrometry‑based protein analysis across biopharmaceutical research and development, quality control, and academic research. Following completion of the acquisition, KPL’s portfolio will be commercialized through Genovis’ global sales and distribution platform, broadening market reach while maintaining a dedicated focus on enzyme innovation. KPL was founded in 2024 as a spin-out from the laboratory of Prof. Jesper Velgaard Olsen, one of the foremost researchers in mass spectrometry-based proteomics, at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Protein Research (CPR), University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

The acquisition encompasses not only KPL’s current commercial portfolio but also their proprietary enzyme engineering platform, several pipeline products under development, associated intellectual property, and the underlying recombinant manufacturing know‑how that provides a differentiated technological foundation for continued enzyme innovation within Genovis. This proprietary platform is a core element of the strategic rationale for the acquisition and is expected to generate additional product launches over the coming years.
Proteomics is the systematic analysis of proteins in biological systems. It is a fast-growing area of biopharmaceutical development, quality control, and research, where increasing automation and regulatory demands are raising the bar for enzyme performance and reproducibility. KPL’s proprietary recombinant manufacturing process delivers a level of batch-to-batch consistency and cleavage specificity that conventional animal-derived alternatives cannot match. The addition of KPL’s portfolio expands Genovis’ addressable share of the LC‑MS‑based protein analysis market and strengthens its position as a provider of high-performance enzyme tools to customers across the life science industry.

The acquisition of KPL is expected to have a marginal impact on Genovis’ consolidated earnings and other financial effects for the financial year 2026.

The upfront payment amounted to MDKK 30.5, of which MDKK 11.1 was settled in cash at closing and MDKK 19.4 was settled through the issuance of 1,395,587 Consideration Shares. The Consideration Shares were issued at a subscription price of SEK 20.03 per share, corresponding to the 30-day volume‑weighted average price of Genovis shares as of 29 May 2026, and were issued pursuant to the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting on 18 May 2026. The issuance of the Consideration Shares entails a dilution of approximately 2 percent of the share capital and votes in Genovis. The founders have entered into customary lock‑up undertakings pursuant to which the Consideration Shares may not be disposed of prior to 2030, subject to limited customary exceptions.

In addition to the upfront payment, the founders will be entitled to a variable earn‑out linked to the future commercial performance of KPL’s products between 1 June 2026–31 March 2029 (the “Earn‑out Period”). The earn‑out is contingent on KPL products realising accumulated sales of MSEK 24.4 during the Earn-out Period and it is therefore not determinable at the time of completion but would be payable in the beginning of 2030.

Genovis CEO Fredrik Olsson commented:

“We are delighted to welcome the KPL team to Genovis. They have built an impressive company — with a growing customer base and a proprietary enzyme platform that is genuinely differentiated. We look forward to making KPL’s unique portfolio available to significantly more researchers through our global commercial platform, and equally to the expertise and innovative capabilities they bring to Genovis as we continue to develop the next generation of enzyme tools.”

CEO and Co-founder of KPL, Tanveer Singh Batth (PhD), commented:
“My co‑founders and I are very pleased to become part of Genovis. Having worked with the Genovis team previously, we know firsthand that they share our commitment to developing high-quality enzyme tools for the research community. Our products have gained strong traction, and joining Genovis is the right step to support our continued development. We look forward to benefiting from Genovis’ commercial platform and industry reach, which will allow us to focus on further developing our protease portfolio and supporting customers more effectively.”

SEB Corporate Finance acted as exclusive financial advisor on the transaction.
