Financial review
Financial statements for the period January 1 – March 31, 2022
are un-audited. Comparison figures for the same period 2021 are
stated in brackets.
Revenue
The net value adjustment of deferred consideration consists of
three components; Adjustment of deferred consideration due to
change in estimated timing of payments DKK 7 million income
(income of DKK 0 million), currency adjustments of DKK 1 million
expense (income of DKK 1 million) and unwinding3 of the
discounting effect related to deferred consideration DKK 28
million (DKK 28 million), see note 6 and 7.
Revenue for the period was DKK 320 million (DKK 535 million).
Revenue was composed of DKK 186 million (DKK 179 million) from
sales of the two new products Rabipur/RabAvert and Encepur,
DKK 30 million (DKK 0 million) from sales of Mvabea to Janssen,
DKK 14 million (DKK 0 million) from sale of third-party products,
DKK 83 million milestone payments (DKK 0 million) from our RSV
partner Nuance and DKK 7 million (DKK 20 million) from contract
work.
Income before company tax was a loss of DKK 271 million (loss of
DKK 130 million).
Production costs
Production costs totaled DKK 292 million (DKK 377 million). Costs
related directly to revenue amounted to DKK 114 million (DKK
219 million), of which cost of goods sold totaled DKK 112 million
(DKK 206 million). Contract costs totaled DKK 2 million (DKK 13
million). Amortization of product rights related to
Rabipur/RabAvert and Encepur has also been recognized as part
of the production costs with a total of DKK 68 million (DKK 68
million). Other production costs totaled DKK 110 million (DKK 90
million). Since August 2021, the current bulk manufacturing
facility has been shut down due to the ongoing expansion of the
drug substance facility for future production of Rabipur/RabAvert
and Encepur, therefore limited absorption of indirect production
costs for Q1 2022. In Q1 2021 the production plant was utilized
for production of RSV Phase 3 clinical trial material, which gave a
very low utilization of the commercial manufacturing capacity
leading to low absorption of indirect production costs causing a
high level of other production costs.
Tax
Tax on income was DKK 1 million (DKK 1 million) and relates to
taxes in subsidiaries. The parent company’s taxable income for
the full year of 2022 is expected to be negative due to Phase 3
trial costs for both ABNCoV2 and RSV, leading to an effective tax
rate close to 0% for the Group as no tax assets will be recognized.

The Company retains the right to use the tax losses carried
forward that was written down in prior year, see note 14 in the
