Bavarian Nordic · H1 Report 2026 2
Key highlights
Financial highlights
→ Revenue in the second quarter (Q2) increased by 23% to DKK
2,034 million.
→ Travel Health revenue increased by 45% (56% when adjusting for
discontinued partnerships) to DKK 1,022 million, primarily driven by
continued strong RabAvert/Rabipur sales (DKK 649 million, +55%), as
well as strong Encepur sales (DKK 268 million, +58%) and the
continued launch of Vimkunya (DKK 37 million, +415%).
→ Public Preparedness revenue increased by 6% to DKK 975 million
driven by a stronger-than-expected contract base in 2026, while also
reflecting the normal quarterly phasing of revenue from this business.
→ EBITDA in the second quarter (Q2) was DKK 925 million,
corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 45%. Gross margin reached
61% driven by an advantageous product mix and strong
manufacturing performance.
First half (H1) total revenue was DKK 3,092 million, an increase of 3%,
reflecting the strong growth in Travel Health, offset by lower Public
Preparedness revenue in line with expectations (no material impact
from mpox outbreaks expected in 2026). EBITDA in the first half was
DKK 1,090 million, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 35%.
Business highlights
→ Additional regulatory approvals were obtained for the Vimkunya
chikungunya vaccine in Switzerland and Canada, and Bavarian Nordic’s
partner, Eurofarma, submitted a marketing authorization application to
the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (Anvisa) for the vaccine.
→ Vimkunya was launched in the Netherlands, Belgium and
Switzerland, and is now available in the US and 14 European countries.
Additional launches are planned for the second half of 2026.
→ Regulatory advancements were also made for the mpox and
smallpox vaccine as the European Commission in August approved
the use of MVA-BN for children 2 to less than 12 years of age
following a positive recommendation from the Committee for
Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) under the European
Medicines Agency in June.
→ The Public Preparedness business was strengthened as the US
Government exercised additional options valued at USD 97 million
under the existing contract to supply a freeze-dried formulation of
JYNNEOS
®
smallpox vaccine. Furthermore, another contract valued
over DKK 700 million with an undisclosed government was received
for delivery in 2026 and 2027.
A record half-year for Travel Health
“We delivered a strong first half of 2026, with record
Travel Health revenue, continued robust profitability and
solid execution across our manufacturing network.
Demand for our rabies vaccines remained exceptionally
strong across key markets, while our chikungunya vaccine
continued to gain traction in Europe following multiple
launches during the period. In Public Preparedness,
additional government contracts for our mpox/smallpox
vaccine strengthened our revenue base and enhanced
visibility beyond 2026, while further regulatory progress
broadened the potential use of the vaccine across wider
populations. Based on our first-half performance,
operational momentum and the business secured for the
remainder of the year, we remain confident in delivering
our upgraded financial guidance for 2026.”
Paul Chaplin, President and CEO.
Upgraded full-year guidance
→ The Company has upgraded its full-year guidance for 2026 and
now expects revenue of approximately DKK 5,700 million,
corresponding to the upper end of the previous guidance range (DKK
5,500 – 5,700 million). The EBITDA margin is now expected to reach
approximately 30% (previously approximately 28%).
Share buy-back
→ The planned share buy-back program of DKK 500 million was
completed in July. The Company will initiate another share buy-back
program in 2026 of up to DKK 750 million, reflecting the strength of
the Company’s balance sheet and cash generation while preserving
the ability to pursue value-accretive acquisition opportunities.
Q2 conference call
The management of Bavarian Nordic will host an investor/analyst
call today, August 21, 2026 at 2 pm CEST (8 am EDT) to present the
interim results followed by a Q&A session.

Bavarian Nordic · H1 Report 2026 5
Performance
Travel Health
Rabipur/RabAvert
Rabipur/RabAvert revenue grew by 40% in the
first half, driven by a combination of continued
market growth and strong brand performance.
The overall US market grew by 20% in the first
half versus the prior year. RabAvert market share
was 78%, 1pp lower than the prior year level.
The overall German market grew by 22% in the
first half versus the prior year, reflecting
underlying solid demand. Rabipur market share
was 96%, 1pp lower than the prior year level.
Revenue from other European markets contributed
with a 51% revenue growth versus prior year for
the first half and 91% for the second quarter in
isolation.
Encepur
Encepur revenue increased by 17% in the first half
compared to the prior year, following a strong
performance in the second quarter after the first
quarter that was somewhat impacted by supply
constraints that drove wholesaler stock levels
down.
The overall German market grew by 3% in the first
half versus the prior year and Encepur market
share was 31%, 1pp higher than the prior year
level.
During the second quarter, regulatory authorities in
several countries approved an extension of
Encepur shelf-life to 24 months, leading to a
partial reversal of write-down provisions in the
first half as further explained under Production
costs.
Vimkunya
Vimkunya revenue was DKK 78 million in the first
half, driven by strong performance in Germany,
while uptake in the US has been slower as the
CDC’s ACIP recommendation, issued in April 2025,
has not been published in the Morbidity and
Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) combined with a
conservative interpretation of the
recommendation. This is regarded as a temporary
challenge in the US market, and the long-term
market opportunity remains intact.
During the first half, Vimkunya was launched in the
Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland, and is now
available in the US and 14 European countries.
Vivotif
Vivotif revenue in the first half grew by 19%
compared to the prior year. The US market for
typhoid vaccines increased by 3% in the first half
and the Vivotif market share was 18%, 2pp below
the prior year level. Revenue for the period was
positively impacted by improved gross-to-net
deductions following reduced return rates.
Vaxchora
Vaxchora revenue decreased by 30% in the first
half, reflecting the niche and order-driven nature
of the cholera market.

Public Preparedness
JYNNEOS/IMVANEX/IMVAMUNE
Revenue from JYNNEOS/IMVANEX/IMVAMUNE was
DKK 1,269 million in the first half, a decrease of
18% compared to prior year. This is in line with
expectations, as 2026 revenue is not expected to
be materially impacted by mpox outbreaks.
For 2026, revenue of approximately DKK 2,500
million is expected from this business, of which
DKK 2,300 million has been secured to-date. This is
an improvement over the original expectations
(DKK 1,800 – 2,000 million) resulting from
additional contracts awarded during the year,
including the US Government’s exercise of
additional options under the contract for freeze-
dried JYNNEOS valued at USD 97 million to be
delivered over 2026 and 2027. Additionally,
approximately DKK 800 million has been secured
in revenue for delivery in 2027. See Outlook for
2026 for additional information.
Other revenue
Other revenue increased by 22% in the first half.
The revenue mainly stems from ongoing contracts
with the US government, including the contract to
develop an MVA-BN-based vaccine against equine
encephalitis viruses.

Financial review
Financial statements for the period January 1 –
June 30, 2026 are un-audited. Comparison figures
for the same period 2025 are stated in brackets.
Revenue
Revenue for the period was DKK 3,092 million
(DKK 2,998 million). Revenue was composed of
DKK 1,742 million (DKK 1,386 million) from the
Travel Health business, DKK 1,269 million (DKK
1,546 million) from the Public Preparedness
business, and DKK 81 million (DKK 66 million) from
contract work. The growth in Travel Health was
driven by strong Rabipur/RabAvert sales of DKK
1,090 million (DKK 778 million). In the first six
months of 2025, revenue included DKK 105 million
from discontinued partner agreements.
Revenue reported for the three months ended June
30, 2026, amounted to DKK 2,034 million (DKK
1,652 million).
Production costs
Production costs totaled DKK 1,387 million (DKK
1,404 million). Costs related directly to revenue
amounted to DKK 960 million (DKK 950 million), of
which cost of goods sold totaled DKK 905 million
(DKK 903 million). Contract costs totaled DKK 55
million (DKK 47 million). Amortization of product
rights was recognized as part of the cost of goods
sold with a total of DKK 194 million (DKK 183
million). Amortization of product rights relates to
Rabipur/RabAvert and Encepur, DKK 142 million
(DKK 142 million), and Vivotif, Vaxchora and
Vimkunya DKK 51 million (DKK 40 million). Other
production costs totaled DKK 233 million (DKK 271
million). Other production costs were positively
impacted by good production performance with
low scrap rates and a partial reversal of write-
down provisions, DKK 29 million, made in 2025 for
short Encepur shelf-life. The reversal follows the
regulatory approval in May 2026 of a shelf-life
extension to 24 months. During the second quarter
of 2026, a scrap provision of DKK 46 million for a
GSK rabies batch was expensed.
In the second quarter of 2026, production costs
were DKK 803 million (DKK 738 million).
Gross margin for the first half ended at 55%,
supported by a strong second quarter, reaching
61%. The high second quarter gross margin was
driven by an advantageous product mix and strong
manufacturing performance leading to a high level
of cost absorption, while also reflecting the first
year with full impact from the completed tech
transfer for Rabipur/RabAvert.
Sales and distribution costs
Sales and distribution costs totaled DKK 321 million
(DKK 236 million), split between costs for
distribution of products of DKK 35 million (DKK 50
million) and costs for running the commercial
organization and activities of DKK 286 million (DKK
186 million). The increase in running costs is
related to the launch of Vimkunya in more
countries and organizational expansion into new
markets.
Research and development costs
Research and development costs totaled DKK 339
million (DKK 465 million) with the main drivers
being the Vimkunya post-marketing studies and
the comparability study related to the cell line
project for MVA-BN.
Administrative costs
Administrative costs totaled DKK 304 million (DKK
263 million). An accrued amount related to the
severance agreement with the CEO is included.
EBIT/EBITDA
Income before interest and tax (EBIT) amounted to
DKK 742 million (DKK 630 million).
EBITDA was DKK 1,090 million (DKK 961 million).
Amortization of product rights amounted to DKK
194 million (DKK 183 million) whereas
depreciation on other fixed assets amounted to
DKK 155 million (DKK 148 million). The increase in
amortization follows the launch of the Vimkunya
vaccine in March 2025.
Financial items
Financial items totaled a net income of DKK 41
million (net expense of DKK 27 million) and
consisted of interest income of DKK 10 million
(DKK 13 million), financial net income from
securities of DKK 17 million (net income of DKK 4
million), and net foreign exchange rate gain of
DKK 23 million (net loss of DKK 14 million) due to
an increase in the USD exchange rate during first
half of 2026. This is partly offset by interest
Management’s review Financial statements Notes
Bavarian Nordic · H1 Report 2026 8
expense on debt of DKK 5 million (DKK 3 million)
and financial expenses DKK 3 million (DKK 3
million) related to the revolving credit facility. See
note 6 and 7.
Income before company tax was a gain of DKK 783
million (gain of DKK 603 million).
Tax
Tax on income was DKK 34 million (DKK 22
million). The effective tax rate was 4.4% (3.6%)
for the Group. Tax for the first half year is primarily
related to accrual of 50% of expected corporate
income tax for 2026 in the parent company (DKK
22 million) and taxes in the German and Swiss
subsidiaries.
Net profit
For the first six months of 2026, Bavarian Nordic
reported a net profit of DKK 749 million (net profit
of DKK 581 million).
Securities, cash and cash equivalents
Securities, cash and cash equivalents were DKK
2,358 million as of June 30, 2026 compared to DKK
3,334 million as of December 31, 2025. During the
first six months of 2026, DKK 447 million was
spent on the share buy-back program, which was
completed in July. The final milestone payment to
GSK was paid in first quarter (EUR 70 million).
Cash flow
Cash flow generated by operating activities was
negative by DKK 401 million (positive by DKK 883
million) as positive net profit for the period was
more than offset by an increase in net working
capital. Cash flow from changes in working capital
was negative by DKK 1,577 million (negative DKK
162 million), primarily following a very high
receivable position as of June 30, 2026 and the
payment of the last milestone payment to GSK of
EUR 70 million. The high level of receivables was
explained by significant Public Preparedness
revenue invoiced late in the second quarter and by
the strong growth in the Travel Health business.
The outstanding milestone payment was
recognized as a trade payable as of December 31,
2025.
Cash flow from investment activities was negative
by DKK 74 million (negative by DKK 1,082 million)
and consisted mainly of investment in IT projects,
developed production processes and tangible
assets. In the first half of 2025, DKK 1,105 million
was recognized as investment in products rights.
Last operational milestone and the completion
milestone to GSK were obtained (EUR 100 million)
and the last milestone to Emergent BioSolutions
(USD 50 million) became payable following the
regulatory approval of Vimkunya.
Cash flow from financing activities was negative
by DKK 464 million (DKK 173 million negative),
following the share buy-back program.
The net cash flow for the first six months of 2026
was negative by DKK 938 million (negative by DKK
372 million) with main drivers being payment of
the completion milestone to GSK (EUR 70 million)
and the share buy-back program (DKK 447 million).
Equity
The Group’s equity as of June 30, 2026, stood at
DKK 13,217 million (DKK 12,870 million as of
December 31, 2025).
Significant risks and uncertainties
Bavarian Nordic faces a number of risks and
uncertainties, common for the biotech/pharma
industry. These relate to operations, research and
development, manufacturing, commercial and
financial activities. For further information about
risks and uncertainties which Bavarian Nordic
faces, refer to page 31-33 “Risk Management” in
the 2025 Annual Report →.

Bavarian Nordic · H1 Report 2026 9
Outlook for 2026
Full-year guidance upgraded
The financial guidance for 2026 has been upgraded
reflecting continued strength in the Public
Preparedness business.
Total revenue is now expected at approximately DKK
5,700 million, corresponding to the upper end of the
previous guidance range (DKK 5,500 – 5,700 million).
The upgraded guidance comprises revenue of DKK
3,000 million from Travel Health, approximately DKK
2,500 million (previously DKK 2,300 – 2,500 million)
from Public Preparedness and approximately DKK 200
million from other revenue sources.
Revenue expectations for Vimkunya have been
revised to DKK 200 million (previously 250 million),
following lower than originally expected revenue
from the US market which is explained by the lacking
publication of the ACIP recommendation in the
MMWR. The overall revenue expectations for the
Travel Health business however remain unchanged,
supported by continued strong performance across the
core portfolio.
The upgraded revenue in Public Preparedness reflects
additional contract awards secured during the year
with approximately DKK 2,300 million now secured for
2026.
As a result of the favorable revenue mix and strong
manufacturing performance, the expected EBITDA
margin is increased to approximately 30% (previously
approximately 28%). All other assumptions underlying
the 2026 financial guidance remain unchanged.

The full-year guidance was upgraded on August 21, 2026.
Assumptions
The Travel Health revenue guidance includes DKK
200 million from the sale of Vimkunya (previously
DKK 250 million).
The normal seasonality of the Travel Health
business and the timing of revenue recognition of
orders from Public Preparedness will cause
variability in revenue and EBITDA throughout the
year.
R&D cost is expected to reach DKK 750 million for
2026 and will prioritize life-cycle management of
the commercial portfolio, including required
additional studies for the chikungunya vaccine, as
well as continued advancement of the early-stage
pipeline assets (EBV and Lyme).
CAPEX is expected at approximately DKK 250
million whereas inventory levels are anticipated to
be relatively unchanged. Approximately DKK 100
million related to process improvement initiatives
will be capitalized.
The outlook is based on currency exchange rates of
DKK 6.30 per 1 USD and DKK 7.45 per 1 EUR.
For additional key assumptions, see the 2025
Annual Report →.

Vimkunya has been launched in the US, Germany, Switzerland,
France, UK, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Italy, Spain,
Portugal, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands.
New approvals in 2026
Vimkunya was approved by Swissmedic in April
2026 and was launched in Switzerland in June. In
June, Health Canada approved the vaccine.
Regulatory process initiated in Brazil
Bavarian Nordic’s partner, Eurofarma, has
submitted a marketing authorization application to
the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (Anvisa)
for the chikungunya vaccine. Through the
agreement entered with Eurofarma in January
2026, Eurofarma has exclusive rights to sell and
distribute the vaccine in Brazil and was also
granted the right of first refusal for any future
opportunity to register and commercialize the
chikungunya vaccine in the rest of Latin America.
Ongoing clinical development
The long-term immunogenicity of Vimkunya is
currently being evaluated in a follow-up study
(NCT06007183 →) in healthy adults and
adolescents enrolled in two previous phase 3
studies (NCT05072080 → and NCT05349617 →). The
study will evaluate both the safety and long-term
immunogenicity of a single dose of Vimkunya in
up to 5 years after vaccination and antibody
responses after a booster vaccination administered
3, 4, or 5 years post-initial vaccination.
A pediatric study (NCT07003984 →) is ongoing to
evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the
vaccine in 720 children 2 to 11 years of age for
two years.
Additionally, in agreement with competent
regulatory agencies, an efficacy study
(NCT07467707 →) with more than 6,000
individuals is planned in a future outbreak area.

Mpox and smallpox vaccine
In June, the Committee for Medicinal Products for
Human Use (CHMP) under the European Medicines
Agency recommended approval of MVA-BN for
children aged 2 to less than 12 years. The
recommendation, supported by results from a
phase 2 clinical study (NCT06549530 →), was
referred to the European Commission for final
approval, which was granted in August 2026.
Ongoing clinical development
A phase 2b study (NCT07199569 →) comparing the
safety, immunogenicity and reactogenicity of MVA-
BN manufactured using different processes was
initiated in 2025. The study is part of the
Company’s efforts to scale manufacturing capacity
to meet future demand by introducing a
proprietary cell line, designed to significantly
increase manufacturing efficiency compared to the
current egg-based production
Other ongoing studies of MVA-BN, all co-funded by
CEPI, include two studies in the DRC, both led by
the University of Antwerp and the University of
Kinshasa: The first study (NCT06844487 →) is
evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of MVA-
BN in 344 infants aged 4-24 months and the
second study (NCT06844500 →) is evaluating the
safety and immunogenicity of MVA-BN in 359
women (pregnant or breastfeeding). A third
clinical study (NCT05745987 →) in the DRC, Uganda
and Nigeria, led by McMaster University in Canada,
is evaluating post-exposure vaccination with MVA-
BN in more than 3,000 participants including
children over 2 years of age.
Other pipeline updates
EBV
An IND for the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) vaccine is
expected to be filed in 2026, which, if successful,
could enable initiation of a phase 1 clinical trial
later this year.
Lyme disease
A novel Lyme vaccine candidate has been
developed, and preclinical studies have confirmed
the vaccine’s ability to induce a strong and durable
immune response against Lyme disease. Activities
to support clinical development, including clinical
trial manufacturing, will continue in 2027 and the
phase 1 study is now anticipated to start in 2028,
pending successful IND filing.
Equine encephalitis
The equine encephalitis vaccine program, funded
by the US Department of Defense (DOD), is
currently in phase 2 clinical development and
progressing according to plan.

Management’s review Financial statements Notes
Bavarian Nordic · H1 Report 2026 19
Notes
Note 1
Material accounting policies
The interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as
adopted by EU and the additional Danish requirements for submission of interim reports for companies listed
on Nasdaq Copenhagen. The interim report has not been audited or reviewed by the Company’s auditors.
The interim financial statements are presented in Danish Kroner (DKK), which is considered the primary
currency of the Group’s activities and the functional currency of the parent company.
The accounting policies used in the interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the
consolidated financial statements for 2025 and in accordance with the recognition and measurement policies
in the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by EU.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company has implemented all new or amended accounting standards and
interpretations as adopted by the EU and applicable for the 2025 financial year. None of the new or amended
standards or interpretations are assessed to have significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Note 2
Key accounting estimates, assumptions and uncertainties
In the preparation of the interim financial statements according to IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the
EU, Management is required to make certain estimates as many financial statement items cannot be reliably measured
but must be estimated. Such estimates comprise judgments made on the basis of the most recent information available
at the reporting date. It may be necessary to change previous estimates as a result of changes to the assumptions on
which the estimates were based or due to supplementary information, additional experience or subsequent events.
Similarly, the value of assets and liabilities often depends on future events that are somewhat uncertain. In that
connection, it is necessary to set out e.g. a course of events that reflects Management’s assessment of the most
probable course of events.
Further to the key accounting estimates, assumptions and uncertainties, which are stated in the Annual Report 2025, the
Management has not changed key estimates and judgments regarding recognition and measurement.
