Homerton study published in January
A study conducted by the London-based Homerton University Hospital confirms the accuracy of the Gastro-
Panel
®
test concluding that GastroPanel
®
is a reliable dyspepsia triage test distinguishing patients who can
be safely treated conservatively. The use of GastroPanel
®
can improve the current dyspepsia pathway. Its use
in clinical practice will produce a substantial financial and environmental impact by avoiding unnecessary
upper GI endoscopy procedures and help keep the focus on patients with high-risk precancerous lesions.
Chile shows the way in smarter endoscopy prioritization
Chile became the first country to integrate GastroPanel
®
into a national digestive cancer prevention strategy,
establishing a scalable model for biomarker-based risk assessment. In the public healthcare system, the
program targets individuals aged 40+ awaiting upper endoscopy and has demonstrated strong local vali-
dation, correctly identifying over 80% of premalignant lesions and 100% of gastric cancers. By eliminating
up to two-thirds of unnecessary endoscopies, the approach frees significant capacity for high-risk patients
while enabling earlier detection and more efficient resource allocation. Chile’s example confirms that guide-
line-compatible, cost-effective gastric cancer risk stratification can be successfully implemented at a national
level and replicated across healthcare systems.

CEO’s review
Growth Driven by Royalties
The year 2025 was a turning point for Biohit
in many respects. Our revenue grew to EUR
15.7 million, representing growth of 10.1%
compared with the previous year. Operating
profit amounted to EUR 2.9 million, resulting
in an operating margin of 18.6%.
During the first half of the year, escalation in
the Middle East kept us on the starting blocks,
and revenue increased by only 0.3% com-
pared with the reference period. In the second
half of the year, the pace accelerated and growth
reached 20.7% year-on-year. Deliveries inter-
rupted in the Middle East were resumed,
although volumes remained at only half of
previous levels.

BIOHIT Oyj
Annual Report 2025
Biohit in brief CEO´s review Strategy Corporate governance Financial statements
Growth was strongest in royalty income. The
multi-year royalty agreement signed with
Hefei in 2022 was extended in the autumn,
and at the same time closer cooperation was
agreed in relation to product development.
Royalty income increased to EUR 5.4 million
from EUR 2.8 million in the previous year.
Among product groups, rapid tests showed
the strongest growth. Sales of rapid tests
increased by 28.7% compared with the previ-
ous year.
GastroPanel
®
is still far from reaching its full
potential, but its importance continues to
grow. The regional focus remained in Asia,
but sales have also developed positively else-
where. Notably, sales exceeding the contrac-
tual minimum purchase volumes increased by
96.8% during the financial year.
At the end of 2025, a strategically significant
decision was made regarding Biohit’s operating
model. It was decided to close the Italian
subsidiary and, going forward, to cover the
Italian market through a more cost-efficient
distributor model. The better-scalable UK
subsidiary will continue to operate unchanged.
Net cash flow from operating activities was
negative, unlike in previous years. The key
factors were the timing of cash flows related
to OEM deliveries across the financial year-
end and an increase in long-term contract
assets.
Growing Momentum for GastroPanel
®
Biohit’s flagship product and most important
growth driver is GastroPanel
®
. Its value pro-
position is clear: GastroPanel
®
enables accu-
rate and reliable diagnosis of upper gastro-
intestinal symptoms in primary healthcare.
The benefits are evident—cost efficiency and
faster access to treatment.
In 2025, there was a clear shift in GastroPanel’s
momentum. The first turning point was seen
as early as January, when a study published
by London’s Homerton University Hospital
confirmed GastroPanel
®
as an accurate triage
test for identifying patients at high risk of
gastric cancer.
Homerton is part of a long continuum of pos-
itive GastroPanel
®
studies, but timing in this
case was particularly significant. Healthcare
systems are visibly under strain. The need
for more efficient allocation of scarce health-
care resources is global. The Homerton study
clearly increased interest in a product that
directly addresses this need.
For Biohit, the most significant event of the
year was the inclusion of GastroPanel
®
in
Chile’s national clinical treatment guidelines.
The results of the Chilean pilot study were
unequivocal. GastroPanel
®
reduced the num-
ber of endoscopies by two thirds, benefiting
both patients and society as a whole.
Entering 2026 with the Lessons
of the Previous Year
The year 2025 provides a solid foundation for
our operations in 2026. We have identified a
functioning business model through which we
systematically roll out GastroPanel
®
stake-
holder by stakeholder, via professional opinion
leaders, to end users.
Inspired by the Chilean example, similar pilots
are under way in other South American coun-
tries. In Europe, two validation studies will be
launched in early 2026, and clinical studies
related to FDA approval in the United States
are also planned to begin during 2026.
Our objective is clear: to have GastroPanel
®
included in the national treatment guidelines
of as many countries as possible. We are
working toward this goal. The greatest unpre-
dictable variable is the timeline. The time
required for change and its translation into
revenue has so far been slower than expected.
GastroPanel’s outlook is better than ever, but
our guidance for 2026 is more cautious than
in previous years. This is due to two factors.
First, GastroPanel
®
validations and implemen-
tations have consistently taken longer than
expected, and it is not realistic to assume that
the process will accelerate significantly.
Second, despite the extension agreement in
2025, the recognition of royalties from the
multi-year distribution agreement signed with
Hefei in 2022 is approaching its end. At the
current growth trajectory, GastroPanel
®
sales
may not be able to compensate for the declining
royalties as quickly as originally anticipated.
Royalties have been recognized in profit in
accordance with the applicable reporting
framework (IFRS) faster than the actual cash
flows.
Guidance for 2026: Financial targets
We expect revenue in 2026 to increase to EUR
16.5–17.3 million (growth of 5–10% compared
with 2025) and the operating margin to be at
least 10%.
In 2025, revenue was EUR 15.7 million, with
revenue growth of 10.1%. The operating margin
was 18.6%.

A unique innovation for monitoring stomach health
The GastroPanel
®
quick test assesses the structure and function of the
stomach lining. The test can be easily taken from a fingertip and results
are available in 15 minutes. The GastroPanel
®
quick test saves costs
and unnecessary visits to the clinic, enabling endoscopic examinations
to be targeted at patients who need them most urgently. Patient safety
is improved as follow-up examinations, treatment, and monitoring are
accelerated.
Acetium
®

®
capsules are a unique product developed by Biohit that pro-
tects the stomach lining from carcinogenic acetaldehyde, especially in
people with acid-free stomachs. The amino acid L-cysteine, which is
slowly released from the capsule, effectively binds acetaldehyde pro-
duced by alcohol, food, and microbial activity.
Acetium
®
lozenges are an innovation from Biohit that help you quit
smoking by binding acetaldehyde in saliva with L-cysteine. The product
offers a nicotine-free alternative to smoking cessation without the side
effects of medication.

BIOHIT Oyj
Annual Report 2025
Biohit in brief CEO´s review Strategy Corporate governance Financial statements
The recommendation of the Corporate Gover-
nance Code 2020 that both genders shall be
represented on the board of directors has
been replaced by a recommendation that
there shall be balanced representation of
women and men in the board of directors.
Balanced representation of women and men
shall be achieved no later than 30 June 2026.
Until then, Recommendation 8 of Corporate
Governance Code 2020 applies, according to
which both genders shall be represented on
the board of directors.
One Board of Directors member out of five is
woman and four are men. The share of women
is thus 20% and the share of men 80%.
The Board of Directors elects a chairman from
amongst its members.
Board members’ terms of office run from the
date of their election by the AGM until the end
of the next AGM.
The Board’s areas of responsibility are stated
in the written rules of procedure approved by
the Board. They are as follows:
Increasing shareholder value
Ensuring the appropriate organisation of
accounting and financial management
Approving Biohit Oyj’s financial statements,
consolidated financial statements and the
Report of the Board of Directors for the most
recent financial period
Approving the half year financial report
annually for the period ending at the end of June
Deciding on Biohit’s business plan, budget
and investment plan
Deciding on Biohit’s financing and risk
management policies
Approving the remuneration and incentive
schemes for senior managers
Appointing the President & CEO
Deciding on Biohit’s strategy, organisational
structure, investments and other wide-reaching
and significant issues
The Board’s decision-making is based on the
reports prepared by the company’s operative
management on the operational development
of the Group and its business units.
The Chairman is responsible for convening
Board meetings and arranging the work of
the Board. The Board convenes 5–12 times
per year, usually meeting once every month
or once every two months, and the meeting
schedule for the entire term is confirmed in
advance. When necessary, Board meetings
are held more frequently or by teleconference.
Diversity Principles
The objective of the Company’s Board diver-
sity principles is to ensure that the Board of
Directors has a sufficiently broad range of
expertise, experience, and perspectives rele-
vant to the Company’s business and strategy.
Diversity is assessed as a whole and includes,
among other factors:
• gender
age and international experience
education and professional background
industry and business expertise
strategic and financial competence
The Company aims to ensure that both gen-
ders are equally represented on the Board of
Directors in accordance with the recommen-
dations of the Finnish Corporate Governance
Code 2025.
Consideration of Diversity in
the Composition of the Board
and the Nomination Process
When preparing the composition of the Board
of Directors and the selection of its members,
the Board’s overall competence is primarily
assessed in relation to the Company’s stra-
tegic objectives and operating environment.
Diversity principles are also systematically
taken into account in the nomination process
as part of the overall assessment.
In the selection of Board members:
the competence profile of the current
Board is reviewed and potential gaps in
expertise and perspectives are identified,
candidates are assessed both on the basis
of their individual qualifications and from the
perspective of the Board’s overall composition,
diversity is considered as part of the for-
mation and evaluation of the candidate pool.
If the composition of the Board does not meet
the recommendation on balanced gender
representation during the financial year, the
Company will describe in its Corporate Gover-
nance Statement the reasons for the devia-
tion and the measures taken to promote the
objective in future nominations.
The implementation of the diversity prin-
ciples is regularly assessed as part of the
Board’s self-evaluation of its composition and
performance.
Selection Process of
the Board of Directors
Stages of the Selection Process
The process for selecting members of the
Board of Directors is based on the Company’s
Articles of Association, resolutions of the
General Meeting, and principles approved
by the Board of Directors. The objective of
the selection process is to ensure that the
Board possesses the expertise and experi-
ence required by the Company’s strategy and
operating environment.
The selection process consists principally
of the following stages:
1. Evaluation of the current composition of
the Board, assessing the Board’s compe-
tence, experience, and effectiveness in rela-
tion to the Company’s strategic objectives.
2. Definition of competence and profile
requirements, identifying any potential gaps
in expertise or perspectives.
3. Identification and assessment of candi-
dates, either through shareholders, a nomi-
nation body, or preparation by the Board of
Directors.
4. Preparation of a proposal to the General
Meeting, taking into account the overall com-
position of the Board and the recommenda-
tions of the Finnish Corporate Governance
Code 2025.
5. Election of Board members by the
General Meeting.
13
BIOHIT Oyj
Annual Report 2025
Biohit in brief CEO´s review Strategy Corporate governance Financial statements
Consideration of Evaluation and
Diversity in the Selection Process
In evaluating candidates for membership of
the Board of Directors, attention is paid to the
candidates’ professional qualifications, expe-
rience, independence, and ability to devote
sufficient time to Board duties.
Diversity is taken into account as part of the
overall assessment such that:
the composition of the Board is assessed as
a whole rather than on the basis of individual
members,
the formation of the candidate pool aims to
ensure sufficiently broad-based expertise and
a diversity of perspectives,
gender balance and other diversity factors
are systematically considered in the selection
of candidates.
The objective of the selection process is to
form a Board that is able to effectively sup-
port the Company’s long-term value creation
and the achievement of its strategic objectives.
The effectiveness of the selection process
and the appropriateness of the Board’s com-
position are regularly assessed as part of the
Board’s self-evaluation.
Board of Directors in 2025
Until the Annual General Meeting held on 4
June 2025, the following five people were on
the Board of Directors: Vesa Silaskivi (chair-
man), Liu Feng, Kalle Härkönen, Lea Palo-
heimo and Osmo Suovaniemi. At the Annual
General Meeting, the members of the Board
of Directors were re-elected to their positions.
No other candidates were proposed. The term
of office of the Board of Directors ends at the
Annual General Meeting in 2026. The Board of
Directors elected Vesa Silaskivi as its chairman.
Biohit Oyj’s Board of Directors convened 10
times in 2025 (10 times in 2024). The average
attendance was 97 per cent (96 per cent).
Gender Distribution of the Board
of Directors and Its Development
During the financial year [2025 / 2024], the
Company’s Board of Directors consisted of
five members, of whom four were men and
one was a woman. Accordingly, men repre-
sented 80% and women 20% of the Board
members.
The Company monitors the development of
the gender distribution of the Board of Direc-
tors as part of the evaluation of the Board’s
composition and the nomination process. The
gender distribution is assessed in relation to
the Board’s overall competence, the Company’s
strategic needs, and the recommendations of
the Finnish Corporate Governance Code 2025.
There have been no changes in the gender
distribution of the Board of Directors in recent
years.
Plans and Timetable Towards
Balanced Gender Representation
The Company aims to ensure balanced rep-
resentation of both genders on the Board of
Directors by 30 June 2026, in accordance with
the recommendations of the Finnish Corporate
Governance Code 2025.
To achieve this objective:
diversity, including gender distribution,
is systematically taken into account in the
Board nomination process,
efforts are made to broaden the candidate
search so that the candidate pool includes
representatives of both genders,
the composition of the Board is assessed
as a whole in connection with each nomina-
tion round.
The Company regularly evaluates the imple-
mentation of gender distribution objectives as
part of the overall assessment of the Board’s
composition and nomination process.

Main characteristics of internal control
of the financial reporting process and
risk management
Biohit’s internal control is responsible for
ensuring that the Group carries out its busi-
ness operations within the framework of
the current regulations and legislation and
in accordance with the instructions of the
Board of Directors. Internal control seeks to
ensure that the Group operates with maxi-
mum efficiency and that efforts are made at
various levels of the organisation to achieve
the objectives set in the strategy approved by
the Board of Directors. Risk management is
geared towards supporting the achievement
of these objectives by anticipating and managing
business-related risks.
Control environment
Biohit’s business operations and adminis-
tration aim to realise the company’s values,
of which the most important is to promote
health and well-being through innovation.
According to the strategy for 2024-2028, Biohit
is a global intestinal tract expert, relating to
which it carries out manufacturing, sales and
marketing activities.
Biohit’s control environment is defined by the
Board of Directors, which, as the highest adminis-
trative body, is responsible for organising internal
control. The President & CEO is responsible
for maintaining the efficiency of the control
environment and the functionality of inter-
nal control. Biohit’s financial department is
responsible for the functionality of financial
reporting as well as the interpretation and
application of financial statement standards
in line with the separately approved instruc-
tions.
Risk assessment
In the assessment of the risks related to
financial reporting, Biohit’s objective is to
identify the major risks associated with the
Group’s business operations and environ-
ment. The cost-effective management and
monitoring of these risks will then ensure that
the company’s strategic and operational tar-
gets can be reached as intended.
The Board of Directors carries the main
responsibility for risk assessment and
monitoring the implementation of risk manage-
ment. The President & CEO works with the
parent company’s operative management and
subsidiaries’ managers to ensure that the
Group’s risk management is duly arranged.
The parent company’s operative management
is responsible for identifying and managing
the risks involved within each business area,
while the subsidiaries’ Management Teams
are responsible for those in their own market
areas.
Risk management is one of the areas covered
by Biohit’s internal control processes, which
regularly monitor the risks associated with
the company’s business operations, identify
any changes and, if necessary, take appropriate
action to hedge against them. Risk manage-
ment focuses on ensuring the continuity of
business operations and preventing financial
misconduct.
Control measures
Internal control measures are integrated
into the Group’s general business manage-
ment and reporting process. The subsidiaries
report to Group Management on business
and earnings trends and the most significant
deviations on a monthly and quarterly basis.
The Group’s Management Team reports to the
Board of Directors on the overall develop-
ment of business; these two bodies, together
with the President & CEO, decide on overall
corporate strategies and procedures guiding
the operations of the Group.
The subsidiaries’ Boards follow business
developments and ensure that the parent
company’s approved instructions and guide-
lines are followed. As a rule, the Boards of
Directors of the subsidiaries meet monthly.
Board work in the subsidiaries is based on
financial reports and the written monthly
and annual reports drawn up by subsidiary
management.
Biohit’s business control is carried out in
accordance with the management system
described hereinabove. The company pro-
vides the reporting systems necessary for
business and financial management. The
financial department of the parent company
provides instructions for drawing up annual
and interim financial statements and pre-
pares the consolidated financial statements.
The parent company’s finance department
retains central control of funding and adminis-
trative matters within the framework of the
instructions provided by the Board of Direc-
tors and the President & CEO and is also
responsible for the management of interest and
exchange rate risks. The Managing Directors
of the subsidiaries ensure that the subsid-
iaries’ reporting is carried out in accordance
with the instructions given by the Group’s
Management Team.
The parent company’s administration depart-
ment controls and provides instructions on
Group-level personnel policies and any agree-
ments made within the Group.
Disclosure policy
Biohit aims to provide all its stakeholders
with information about the company’s opera-
tions in a proactive, consistent and timely man-
ner. The company seeks to take the special
requirements and interests of all its stake-
holders into account in its communications in
order to increase confidence in the company
and thereby promote its business operations.
Biohit’s Board of Directors has approved an
information release policy with a view to
ensuring the accuracy and reliability of any
information released. The policy also speci-
fies who is responsible for communications in
different situations.
Biohit’s financial department regularly pro-
vides information on processes related
to financial administration reporting. This
ensures the real-time availability of data,
which is a prerequisite for efficient internal
control.
Financial administration guidelines and the
company’s information release policy aim to
ensure the promptness and comprehensive-
ness of communications as well as the release
of the information required for internal control
purposes.
Monitoring
The efficiency of internal controls on financial
reporting is overseen by the Board of Direc-
tors, the President & CEO, Management Team
members and the Managing Directors of sub-
sidiaries. Control focuses on following weekly
and monthly financial reports and forecasts
16
BIOHIT Oyj
Annual Report 2025
Biohit in brief CEO´s review Strategy Corporate governance Financial statements
and analysing any deviations from business
plans. Monitoring is performed at all Board
and Management Team meetings where
reports are reviewed. It is supported by regular
contact between Group Management and the
company’s auditor, and analysis of any devia-
tions, which occurs at least once per quarter.
The audit frameworks for the Group’s subsid-
iaries and key audit areas are jointly defined
by the Group’s financial management and the
chief auditor. Biohit has not appointed a sepa-
rately organised function for internal auditing
purposes, but Biohit’s financial department
has the responsibility to implement it in practice.
The Group has internal control reporting
systems required for financial management
and monitoring business development. The
reporting systems produce monthly finan-
cial data so that financial management can
ensure compliance with the parent company’s
approved instructions on matters such as
authorisation.
The Group’s auditor and the auditors of each
subsidiary evaluate the effectiveness of the
internal control system in connection with the
external audit.
Audit 2025
The auditor elected by the AGM is responsible
for Biohit’s statutory audit. According to the
Articles of Association, the company must
have one auditing body approved by the
Central Chamber of Commerce. The 2025
Annual General Meeting re-elected auditing
firm PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy as the com-
pany’s auditor for a one-year term, with Tiina
Puukkoniemi, Authorised Public Accountant,
as chief auditor.
Auditor and auditor’s fees
The 2025 Annual General Meeting decided to
pay auditor’s fees in accordance with the audi-
tor’s invoice. The Group’s invoiced auditors’
fees for the 2025 financial period totalled EUR
178 thousand (EUR 166 thousand in 2024). In
addition to this, PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy
was paid a total of EUR 20 thousand for other
services (EUR 30 thousand in 2024).
Related party transactions
The company keeps a list of its related par-
ties, and it regularly engages in transactions
with some of these parties. These transac-
tions are related to the company’s ordinary
business activities, they are appropriate in
terms of the company’s operations and they
are executed on ordinary market terms. The
company’s financial management monitors
and supervises related-party transactions as
part of the company’s normal reporting and
supervision practices. Relevant transactions
between the company and its related parties
are reported annually in the notes to the com-
pany’s consolidated financial statements. The
company’s Board of Directors makes all the
relevant decisions concerning related-party
transactions. Decision-making is based on
particularly thorough preparation and appro-
priate reports, statements and estimates.
Preparation of the related-party transactions,
decision-making and approval have been
arranged to take account of the disqualifica-
tion rules and appropriate decision-making
entities.
Biohit Oyj’s Board of Directors made the
following decision on 2025 related party
transactions:
1. As part of his work as the head of scientific
advisory board, Osmo Suovaniemi’s compen-
sation amounted EUR 85,000
(2024: EUR 111,000).
2. As part of his work as the managing director
of Biohit Healthcare S.r.I, Franco Aiolfi will be
paid a fixed fee of EUR 18,000 in 2025

3. The members of the scientific advisory
board will be paid EUR 85 per hour for the
work outside the scientific advisory board.

In 2025, Biohit’s revenue increased by 10.1% compared with the previous year. The rate of reve-
nue growth was in line with that of the preceding financial year (9.2%). Revenue growth continued
to be profitable, with the operating margin amounting to 18.6% in the reporting period (17.9%).
Biohit’s strong balance sheet provides a solid basis for the further development of the business
and the continuation of growth. At the end of 2025, the Group’s equity ratio was 75.4% (78.6%).
Cash and other short-term financial assets amounted to EUR 4.8 million at the end of the finan-
cial year (EUR 6.6 million).

Reporting
Biohit’s product portfolio consists of diagnostic tests, analysis systems, products binding carcinogenic acetaldehyde into
a harmless compound and monoclonal antibodies. The entire product and service portfolio is reported under a single
segment.
Revenue and EBIT
Revenue grew by 10.1% from 2024. Revenue from international operations was 98.4% (98.5%) of total revenue. EBIT was
EUR 2.9 million (EUR 2.6 million).
Balance sheet, financing and operational continuity
On 31 December 2025 the balance sheet totalled EUR 19.8 million (EUR 15.5 million on 31 Dec 2024). At the end of the
reporting period our equity ratio stood at 75.4% (78.6% 31 Dec 2024).
Profitable financial period increased the balance sheet.
Biohit Oyj has a stable financial position. On 31 December 2025, the company’s financial assets totalled EUR 4.8 million
(EUR 6.6 million) which does not include Genetic Analysis AS shares. The Company has measured its financial instruments
at fair value in accordance with Chapter 5, Section 2a of the Finnish Accounting Act. The principles for determining fair
value are presented in the notes to the financial statements. The objective of the Company’s financial risk management is to
ensure liquidity and access to financing and to manage financial risks affecting profit and cash flow. The principal financial
risks relate to foreign exchange, equity price and liquidity risks, as well as credit and counterparty risks. Information on
financial risk management is presented at the Group level.
The company has managed to keep its working capital on a good level and the management believes that working capital
will cover the operations for the next 12 months and the company is not dependent on external financing to be able to
guarantee the continuity of its operations.
Cash flow from operating activities was EUR -0.7 million during the review period and EUR 0.2 million during the second
half of the year. The company’s management assessment is that the company’s ability to continue its operations is good
and there are no indications of events or circumstances that alone or combined might give a significant reason to doubt the
organisation’s ability to continue its operations.

Investments
Gross investments during the 1-12/2025
reporting period totalled EUR 0.6 million (EUR
0.4 million).
Personnel
During the review period, the Biohit Group
employed an average of 48 (46 in 2024 and 44
in 2023) people of whom 38 (36 in 2024 and 35
in 2023) were employed by the parent com-
pany and 10 (10 in 2024 and 9 in 2023) by the
subsidiaries.
Short-term risks and uncertainty factors
Biohit’s key risks are related to the success of
product registrations as well as the selection
and development of new market areas and
distribution channels.
The diagnostic industry is heavily regulated,
and this may have an effect on Biohit’s sales.
The duration of the product registration pro-
cess is different in each market area. For this
reason, conquering new markets may be slow.
It is also critical to implement the changes
required by the new IVDR EU regulation so
that sales of the existing products can continue.
When investing liquid assets, the objective
is to gain a return on investment with a low
risk of equity loss. The investment portfolio
consists of deposits, investment funds and
corporate loans. A fundamental aspect in
portfolio management is sufficient diversifi-
cation across different asset classes, invest-
ment instruments and counterparties. The
investment portfolio is subject to equity risk
that is managed by diversification and alloca-
tion decisions. The portfolio is also subject to
interest rate risk, which is managed by adjust-
ing the duration of the portfolio. In addition,
general instability in the financial markets
may have a negative impact on the value of
the investment portfolio.
The Group’s investment in listed Genetic Analy-
sis AS is subject to changes in share price and
the EUR/NOK foreign exchange rate.
Biohit’s customer base is widely diversified,
with the exception of GastroPanel
®
sales in
China, which currently represents a major
single business for Biohit. Biohit HealthCare
(Hefei) Co. Ltd. has, based on a security agree-
ment signed on 8 February 2022, pledged to
Biohit 1,500,000 class B Biohit shares as secu-
rity for its obligations referred to therein. The
pledge significantly decreases the risks that
are related to sales in China.
Single customer or geographical territory
related risk may have a financial impact. How-
ever, Biohit’s customer base is widely diversi-
fied and thus the company is not significantly
dependent on individual customers or project
deliveries.
The balance sheet and sales of Biohit’s UK
subsidiary are in GBP. As a result, Biohit is
exposed to the risk of GBP weakening. Other-
wise, most of the company’s business is con-
ducted in EUR and the indirect effects of the
currency exchange rate fluctuations are con-
sidered insignificant.
Outlook for 2026
Financial targets
We expect revenue in 2026 to increase to EUR
16.5–17.3 million (growth of 5–10% compared
with 2025) and the operating margin to be at
least 10%.
In 2025, revenue was EUR 15.7 million, with
revenue growth of 10.1%. The operating margin
was 18.6%.
Underlying assumptions for the guidance
• GastroPanel
®
validations and implemen-
tations have consistently taken longer than
expected, and it is not realistic to assume that
the process will accelerate significantly.
Despite the extension agreement in 2025,
Main events in the financial year
Revenue continued to grow profitably
Biohit’s revenue continued to increase in 2025,
amounting to EUR 15.7 million (2024: EUR 14.3
million), representing growth of 10.1%. The Com-
pany’s profitability developed positively. Opera-
tive EBITDA amounted to EUR 3.5 million, an
increase of EUR 0.5 million compared with the
previous year. Operating profit amounted to EUR
2.9 million (2024: EUR 2.6 million). The gross
margin was 64.6% (2024: 62.2%).
Growth was strongest in royalty income. The
multi-year royalty agreement signed with
Hefei in 2022 was extended in the autumn,
and at the same time closer cooperation was
agreed in relation to product development.
Royalty income increased to EUR 5.4 million
from EUR 2.8 million in the previous year.
The implementation of the strategy published
at the end of 2023 progressed as planned. In
2025, the most significant investments were
directed toward market expansion, with par-
the recognition of royalties from the multi-
year distribution agreement signed with Hefei
in 2022 is approaching its end. At the current
growth trajectory, GastroPanel
®
sales may not
be able to compensate for the declining royal-
ties as quickly as originally anticipated.
ticular focus on the Americas. GastroPanel
®
was included in Chile’s national clinical care
guidelines, opening opportunities for similar
breakthroughs in neighboring countries. The
FDA approval process for GastroPanel
®
in the
United States is progressing, and a pre-submis-
sion was submitted to the FDA in November.
In December 2025, the Board of Directors
decided to discontinue the Italian subsidiary
and replace its operations with a distribu-
tor-based model. In Italy, the subsidiary model
proved to be too cost-intensive. The change
may cause some short-term uncertainty; how-
ever, in the long term, the financial impact of
the change is expected to be positive.
In 2022, the Italian subsidiary recognized a
provision of EUR 0.3 million related to a deci-
sion by Italian regional authorities to seek
retroactive reimbursements from medical
device suppliers for regional budget overruns
in the years 2015–2019. Biohit, in line with
other industry participants, has contested
these claims. The provision reduced revenue
in 2022. In 2025, EUR 0.1 million of the provi-
sion was reversed through profit or loss, and
at the end of the year the provision amounted
to EUR 0.0 million

Government
Annual General Meeting in 2025
AGM decided on 4 June, 2025, as suggested by
the Board of Directors, that no dividend will
be paid for financial year 2024.
The AGM resolved that five (5) members are
elected to the Board of Directors and that
CEO Liu Feng, CEO Kalle Härkönen, PhD Lea
Paloheimo, LL.D, Lic (BA) Vesa Silaskivi and
professor h.c., MD, PhD Osmo Suovaniemi are
elected as members of the Board of Directors
until the end of the next AGM.
AGM decided to choose Pricewaterhouse-
Coopers as the audit firm.
Authorizations granted by
the General Meeting
The Annual General Meeting held on 4 June
2025 authorized the Board of Directors to
resolve on a share issue and on the issu-
ance of option rights and other special rights
entitling to shares as referred to in Chapter
10, Section 1 of the Finnish Limited Liability
Companies Act, in one or more instalments.
Under authorization, a maximum of 500,000
new Series B shares may be issued in total
(including shares issued on the basis of spe-
cial rights), corresponding to approximately
4.09% of all Series B shares outstanding on
the date of the resolution. The Board of Direc-
tors decides on all terms and conditions of
the share issue and the issuance of special
rights entitling to shares, and the authoriza-
tion may be used in derogation of sharehold-
ers’ pre-emptive subscription rights (directed
issue). The authorization is valid for two (2)
years from the date of the AGM resolution.
The authorization was not used during the
financial year.
Biohit Oyj’s Management Team
On December 31, 2025, the members of Biohit’s
Management Team were: CEO Jussi Hahtela,
CFO Jussi Sorvo, Production Director Suvi
Elomaa, Research and Development Director
Panu Hendolin, Head of Global Sales and Mar-
keting Graham Johnson and Quality and Reg-
ulatory Affairs Director Daniela Söderström.
Panu Hendolin left the Company on 14 Janu-
ary 2026, and the Head of Product Develop-
ment, Kati Piironen, was appointed as a mem-
ber of the Management Team in his place.
Research and development as well
as clinical studies
Research and development activities focus on
innovation as well as product development and
improvements in usability. The Company also
utilizes external experts and subcontractors in
its research and development activities.
In 2025, development costs of EUR 0.4 million
were capitalised (2024: EUR 0.3 million; 2023:
EUR 0.2 million). Research and development
expenses, excluding depreciation, amounted
to EUR 1.3 million during the review period
1 January–31 December 2025 (2024: EUR 1.1
million; 2023: EUR 1.2 million), of which EUR
0.6 million related to the second half of the
year (first half: EUR 0.7 million).
As in previous years, ensuring compliance
with IVDR and MDR regulatory requirements
required significant resources, as anticipated.
Several clinical studies were ongoing in 2025.
In January, a study conducted by Homerton
University Hospital in London was published,
concluding that GastroPanel
®
is an accurate tri-
age tool. Pilot studies in Chile led to the inclu-
sion of GastroPanel
®
in national guidelines.
GastroPanel
®
studies are also ongoing in other
South American countries and in Vietnam. In
Europe, preparations for two separate Gastro-
Panel
®
validation studies were initiated in 2025.
Preparatory work was also carried out for the
clinical studies required for FDA approval in the
United States.

BIOHIT Oyj
Annual Report 2025
Biohit in brief CEO´s review Strategy Corporate governance Financial statements
2.1 Basic information on the company
Biohit Oyj is a Finnish public limited company
that manufactures products that bind acetal-
dehyde, diagnostic products and systems for
diagnostic analysis for the use of research
institutions, healthcare and industry. The parent
company’s domicile is Helsinki, Finland.
A copy of the consolidated financial statements
is available on the website, www.biohit.fi, and at
the headquarters of the Group’s parent company
at Laippatie 1, Helsinki, Finland.
Biohit Oyj’s
Board of Directors approved the
financial statements for publication on Febru-
ary 11th 2026. In accordance with the Finnish
Limited Liability Companies Act, shareholders
have the opportunity to approve or reject the
financial statements at the Annual General
Meeting, which is to be held after the finan-
cial statements have been published. At the
Annual General Meeting, it is also possible for
a decision to be made to alter the financial
statements.
2.2 Accounting principles
Preparation principles
These financial statements have been pre-
pared in accordance with the International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
endorsed by the European Union. The IAS and
IFRS standards that were valid on 31 December
2025 have been followed, as well as SIC and
IFRIC interpretations. The IFRS refer to stan-
dards and interpretations thereof approved
for application in the EU in compliance with
the proceedings stipulated in Regulation
(EC) 1606/2002, as referred to in the Finnish
Accounting Act and subsequent regulations.
The notes to the consolidated financial state-
ments also comply with Finnish accounting
and corporate legislation.
The consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in compliance with the prin-
ciple of operational continuity. Despite its
loss-making financial periods, the company
Notes to the Concolidated Financial Statements
has succeeded in keeping its working capi-
tal at a good level and the company believes
that it is sufficient to cover the next 12 months
of operations. The company is not dependent
on external financing to guarantee operational
continuity. In the assessment of the company’s
senior management, the company’s capacity to
continue operating is good, and there are no
foreseeable events or conditions that could
occur individually or in combination to give
major cause to doubt the company’s ability to
continue operating.
The consolidated financial statements have
been prepared on the basis of acquisition cost
with the exception of equity investments rec-
ognised at fair value through other compre-
hensive income and financial assets and lia-
bilities recognised at fair value through profit
or loss. The financial statements are present-
ed in thousands of euros. The figures present-
ed in the financial statements are rounded
from precise figures, so the combined total
of individual figures may differ from the total
sum presented. Indicators have been calculated
using precise values.
The preparation of IFRS-compliant financial
statements requires the Group management
to make certain estimations and judgments
when applying the Group’s accounting poli-
cies. Information on judgements that the man-
agement has made when applying the Group’s
accounting principles and that have the most
significant effect on the figures presented in
the financial statements are presented under
Accounting policies calling for judgements by
the management and key sources of estima-
tion uncertainty”.
Presentation method
The Group’s income statement is presented as
a single calculation in which the share of the
income accounted for by the Group’s ongoing
operations is presented first and income due to
discontinued operations is then presented on
a single line. In the 2024 and 2025 financial
periods Biohit had no discontinued operation
to present.
32
BIOHIT Oyj
Annual Report 2025
Biohit in brief CEO´s review Strategy Corporate governance Financial statements
Consolidation principles
The consolidated financial statements include
the parent company, Biohit Oyj, and all its
subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are companies over
which the Group exercises control. The Group
has a controlling interest in a company if, by
being involved in the company, it is exposed
to fluctuating returns or is entitled to such
fluctuating returns and it is able to influence
these returns by exercising its control over
the company.
Mutual shareholdings of Group companies
have been eliminated using the acquisition
cost model. Acquisition costs include trans-
ferred assets at fair value, generated or
assumed liabilities and equity-based instru-
ments that are issued. Acquired subsidiaries
are consolidated from the moment that the
Group gains control over them and divested
subsidiaries are consolidated until this con-
trol ends. All internal Group business trans-
actions, receivables, liabilities, unrealised
profits and internal profit distribution are
eliminated when preparing the consolidated
financial statements. Unrealised losses are
not eliminated if the loss results from impair-
ment. The distribution of profits for the finan-
cial period to the parent company’s owners
and minority interest-holders is presented in
the income statement, and the minority inter-
est-holders’ share of equity is presented as
a separate item in the balance sheet under
equity. The minority interest-holders’ share
of accumulated losses is recognised in the
consolidated financial statements up to the
amount of the investment. The Group has no
associated companies or minority shareholders.
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are consolidated into the finan-
cial statements from the moment that the
Group gains control over them until this con-
trol ends. The consolidated financial state-
ments have been prepared using the acqui-
sition-cost method. The Group’s share of
assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities
on the date of acquisition is recognised at
fair value and the amount in excess of the
fair-value acquisition cost is recognised as
goodwill. If the acquisition cost of a subsid-
iary is less than the value of the net assets
on the date of acquisition, the difference is
recognised in the income statement. Internal
Group business transactions, receivables,
liabilities and unrealised profits from inter-
nal sales are eliminated in the consolidated
financial statements. Unrealised losses are
also eliminated unless an internal business
transaction demonstrates that an asset has
become impaired. The share of a subsidiary
owned by minority interest-holders is pre-
sented in the consolidated balance sheet
under equity, separately from shareholders’
equity. The accounting principles applied by
subsidiaries have been adapted to correspond
to the Group’s principles. On 31 December 2025
the company had no goodwill on its balance
sheet.
Translating items denominated in
foreign currencies
The profit and financial position of the Group’s
units are measured in the currency of the
main operating region of the unit in question.
The consolidated financial statements are
presented in euro, which is the functional and
presentation currency of the Group’s parent
company.
Foreign currency business transactions are
recorded in the functional currency at the
exchange rate on the date of transaction.
Monetary receivables and liabilities are trans-
lated at the exchange rate on the closing date
of the financial period. Non-monetary foreign
currency items have been translated into the
functional currency at the exchange rates on
the transaction date. Any exchange differenc-
es arising from translation are recognised in
the income statement. Any exchange differ-
ences arising from the translation of accounts
receivable and accounts payable within the
Group are recognised as financial items, also
corresponding external items are treated as
financial items. The income statements of
foreign subsidiaries have been translated
into euro at the average exchange rate for
the financial period and the balance sheets
have been translated at the exchange rate on
the closing date of the financial period. The
exchange difference resulting from translat-
ing income statement items using the average
exchange rate and balance sheet items at the
exchange rate on the closing date of the finan-
cial period has been recognised as a separate
item under translation differences in equity.
Exchange differences from monetary items
calculated as net investments made in foreign
subsidiaries are recognised as translation dif-
ferences.
Business segments
Biohit’s product portfolio consists of diag-
nostic tests, analysis systems, products that
bind carcinogenic acetaldehyde into harmless
compounds and monoclonal antibodies. The
company classifies its entire product and ser-
vice portfolio into one segment.
Segment information is provided to the most
senior operative decision-making body as
part of internal reporting in a consistent man-
ner. The reports that the most senior deci-
sion-making body monitors do not differ sub-
stantially from the reports presented in the
group’s income statement and balance sheet.
The Group’s Management Team is the most
senior operative decision-making body. It is
responsible for allocating resources to busi-
ness segments.
Revenue recognition
The Group applies IFRS 15 Revenue from
contracts with customers. The new standard
establishes a five-step model for recognizing
revenue from contracts with customers.
Revenue is recognised on a gross basis, as
Biohit acts as a principal towards customers.
The transaction price is estimated separately
for each contract at the amount of consider-
ation that Biohit is expected to be entitled to
in exchange of the goods or services trans-
ferred. The determination of the transaction
33
BIOHIT Oyj
Annual Report 2025
Biohit in brief CEO´s review Strategy Corporate governance Financial statements
price is normally straightforward, as Biohit’s
contracts include no variable consideration
such as retrospective discounts. Biohit applies
the practical expedient and therefore does not
recognise a significant financing component,
i.e. does not adjust the promised consider-
ation for time value of money when the time
between the delivery of the promised good or
service to the customer and the payment by
the customer is less than one year.
Revenue for each good or royalty from license-
based business is recognised as a distinct
performance obligation, as those are sepa-
rately identifiable and Biohit’s customers can
benefit from them individually. Revenue from
goods sold is recognised at a point of time
when control over them is transferred to the
customer in accordance with the commercial
terms of delivery, i.e. when the goods leave
the warehouse in accordance with “ex-works”.
Biohit also has licensing agreement, in which
Biohit fulfills the performance obligation at
one point in time. In that case, the sales rev-
enue is recorded in full when the license is
granted to the customer. The consideration is
then variable up to the extent that it is high-
ly probable that a significant reversal in the
amount of cumulative revenue recognised
will not occur when the uncertainty is subse-
quently resolved. Biohit values the variable
consideration as an expected value that cor-
responds to the sum of the amounts weighted
by probabilities. The variable amount of money
is based on the management’s estimate of
the annual payments that Biohit will likely
receive.
Biohit has a contractual obligation to with-
draw defective goods from the market and
replace them with new products without a
separate compensation. Costs relating to the
withdrawal are accounted for in accordance
with IAS 37 Provisions, contingent liabilities
and contingent assets. The amount of costs
relating to goods withdrawn has not been
material in Biohit’s business.
Contract assets arise when Biohit has satis-
fied a performance obligation under a con-
tract and recognized revenue in accordance
with IFRS 15, but Biohit’s right to consider-
ation is still partly conditional at the report-
ing date (for example, due to the timing of
invoicing or other contractual terms). Con-
tract assets are presented in the statement of
financial position as a separate line item from
trade receivables.
When the Company’s right to consideration
becomes unconditional and requires only the
passage of time (for example, once invoicing
has taken place), contract assets are reclassi-
fied to trade receivables. Contract assets are
expected to be converted into cash receipts
in future financial periods in accordance with
the contractual terms.
Contract assets are a financial-asset-like item
within the scope of IFRS 9 and are initially rec-
ognized at the transaction price. The Company
applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to con-
tract assets, under which the loss allowance
is measured based on lifetime expected credit
losses. The expected credit loss assessment
is based on management’s best estimate and
includes quantitative and qualitative indica-
tors as well as forward-looking information.
The assessment also considers the effect of
contract-related collateral on the loss given
default, using the collateral’s estimated real-
izable value and realization costs. Uncertainty
related to the realization of the collateral is
reflected through conservative assumptions
regarding the collateral’s realizable value.
Biohit has not incurred any significant costs
to obtain the contracts, such as sales commis-
sions. Biohit applies a practical expedient and
recognises the incremental costs of obtain-
ing a contract as an expense as incurred, if
the amortisation period for the related asset
would be one year or less.
Biohit applies the practical expedient and
does not disclose information about partly or
completely unsatisfied performance obliga-
tions that relate to contracts with a duration
one year or less. Biohit’s contracts with a
duration of more than one year consist of dis-
tribution agreements that are framework con-
tracts by nature and do not meet the criteria
in IFRS 15 for the existence of a contract with-
out specific purchase orders for quantities to
be delivered. In this case, future sales relating
to distribution agreements are not accounted
for as unsatisfied performance obligations,
and no transaction price is allocated to them.
Public grants
Public grants are recognized according to the
IAS20-standard. Public grants are recognized
as fair value when it reasonably certain that
they will be granted and that the company ful-
fils the requirements for them. Public grants
are accrued and recognised in the profit and
loss statement for the financial period in
which the right to receive the grant is fulfilled
based on actual costs. Product development
grants e.g., Business Finland, are recognizes
as Other operating income. Cost support e.g.
The State Treasury’s business cost support is
recognized as Other operating costs deduct-
ibles.
Estimates made relating to
revenue recognition
Biohit uses management’s estimate when rec-
ognizing sales revenue from customer con-
tracts that include a variable amount of money.
The variable amount of money is based on the
management’s estimate of the annual pay-
ments that Biohit will likely receive. The man-
agement uses the customer’s previous pay-
ment behavior as the basis for the estimate.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recognised
at original acquisition cost, less accumulated
depreciation and impairments. Acquisition
cost includes the direct costs arising from
acquisition. Costs that arise subsequently are
included in the book value of the asset or rec-
ognised as separate assets only if it is likely
that the future financial benefit associated
with the asset will benefit the Group and the
34
BIOHIT Oyj
Annual Report 2025
Biohit in brief CEO´s review Strategy Corporate governance Financial statements
acquisition cost of the asset can be reliably
determined. Other repair and maintenance
costs are recognised through profit or loss
in the period during which they have mate-
rialised.
Straight-line depreciation is applied to assets
according to the estimated useful life. No
depreciation is made on land. The estimated
useful lives are as follows:
Machinery and equipment: 3–10 years
The residual value and the useful life of assets
are checked in every financial statement and,
if necessary, adjusted to represent changes that
have occurred in the expectations of financial
benefit. Sales gains and losses accumulated
from the disposal or transfer of tangible fixed
assets are included in other operating income
or expenses.
Leases
Biohit Group applies the IFRS 16 Leases stan-
dard. According to IFRS 16, almost all leases
are recognised on the balance sheet by les-
see as the distinction between operating and
finance leases is removed.
Under the new standard, lessee recognises a
right-of-use asset (the right to use the leased
item) and a lease liability to pay rentals.
The standard includes optional recognition
exemptions for short-term leases (12 months
or less) and leases for which the underlying
asset is of low value. Biohit has decided to
apply the optional exemptions and recognises
these expenses as straight-line basis over the
period of the lease.
According to IFRS 16 -standard, the lessee’s
lease period is the period during which the
lease cannot be terminated. Also, a potential
extension or termination option should be con-
sidered, if the use of such option is estimated
to be reasonably certain. The lease term for
ongoing contracts is based on estimate by
Biohit’s management. Management regularly
estimates the length of those leases.
The lessee should value the lease agreement
by discounting the future lease payments to the
present value at the inception of the contract.
The internal interest rate implicit in the lease
is not easily available which is why the future
minimum lease payments are discounted using
Biohit’s incremental borrowing rate. According
to the standard, the incremental borrowing rate
is defined as the interest that the lessee would
have to pay when borrowing for a similar term
and with similar security to obtain an asset of
an equivalent value to the right-of-use asset
in similar economic environment. Biohit has
determined the incremental borrowing rate for
leases based on the debt based financing offers
received from the 3rd party. Biohit has applied
a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases
with similar characteristics.
Intangible assets
Research and development expenses
Research expenditure is recognised as an
expense in the income statement. Develop-
ment costs are capitalised on the balance
sheet in accordance with IAS38 when Biohit
can demonstrate that the development of the
product is considered to meet the following
criteria: 1) The product is considered to bring
financial benefit beyond its useful life, 2) The
product has already been developed, and Biohit
intends to sell the product beyond its useful
life, 3) The intangible asset will produce a
probable economic benefit, 4) Biohit has ade-
quate and available resources to complete the
asset, 5) Biohit is able to determine the costs
incurred during the development phase of the
asset. Development expenditure that has pre-
viously been recognized as an expense cannot
be capitalised at a later date. Depreciation is
booked for an asset from the time it is ready
for use. In 2025, the costs related to the five
development projects have been capitalised.
Other intangible assets
Intangible assets are only entered in the
balance sheet if the acquisition cost of the
asset can be reliably determined and if it is
likely that the expected financial benefit from
the asset will benefit the company. Other
intangible assets with a limited useful life
are entered in the balance sheet at original
acquisition cost, and costs are booked in
the income statement based on straight-line
depreciation over the course of the known or
estimated useful life of the asset. The Group
has no intangible assets with indefinite useful
lives.
The depreciation periods are as follows:
Patents: 4–10 years
IT software: 3 years
Other intangible assets: 5–10 years
Impairments of tangible and
intangible assets
Impairment of assets under construction is
assessed annually and whenever there are
indications of impairment. Finite-lived intan-
gible assets are tested for impairment when
there are indications of impairment. The cash
flow forecasts underlying the assessments
are based on forecasts approved by manage-
ment. Impairment is assessed at the level of
cash-generating units, i.e., the lowest level at
which the unit is largely independent of other
units and for which cash inflows can be iden-
tified separately from other cash inflows.
The discount rate used is a pre-tax rate that
reflects the market’s assessment of the time
value of money and the risks specific to the
asset being tested.
The recoverable amount is the asset’s fair value,
less costs arising from transfer or a higher util-
ity value. Value in use is the estimated future
net cash flow from the asset or cash-generating
unit, which is discounted to its present value.
Impairment loss is recognised if the book val-
ue of the asset is higher than the recoverable
amount. Impairment loss is recognised imme-
diately in the income statement. If the impair-
ment loss is allocated to a cash-generating
35
BIOHIT Oyj
Annual Report 2025
Biohit in brief CEO´s review Strategy Corporate governance Financial statements
unit, it is first allocated to reduce the good-
will of the cash-generating unit and then to
reduce the other assets of the unit pro rata.
The impairment loss is cancelled if there is a
change in the conditions and the recoverable
amount from the asset has changed since
the impairment loss was booked. However,
the impairment loss may not be reversed in
excess of what the asset’s book value would
be without the recognition of the impairment
loss. Impairment losses recognised for good-
will are never reversed.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at acquisition cost
or net realisable value, whichever is lower.
The acquisition cost is determined using the
weighted average price method. The acqui-
sition cost for finished and unfinished prod-
ucts consists of raw materials, direct labour
costs, other direct costs, and the appropriate
share of manufacturing-related variable over-
heads and fixed overheads at a normal level
of operations. The net realisable value is the
estimated selling price in the ordinary course
of business, less the estimated costs for com-
pleting the product and costs related to sales
Pension obligations
In Group companies, pension cover is
arranged in accordance with the pension
legislation and practices of the country in
question. The pension arrangements are
defined-contribution plans. The payments
related to defined-contribution pension plans
are recognised as costs in the financial period
in which they arise.
Share-based payments
In the future the Group might have incentive
plans where payments are made in the form
of equity instruments. The benefits granted
under the plans are recognised at fair value
on the date on which they were granted and
entered as costs evenly throughout the period
during which they were earned. The effect of
the plans on profit or loss is presented under
costs of employee benefits.
The cost determined on the date on which
the options were granted is based on the
Group’s estimate of the number of options
for which rights are presumed to arise at
the end of the incentive-earning period. The
Group updates the presumption of the final
number of options on the final day of every
reporting period. Changes in estimates are
treated through profit or loss. The fair value
of option plans is defined on the basis of the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. Terms
that are not market-based, such as profitability
and specific growth targets, are not taken into
consideration when determining the fair value
of options. Instead, they affect the estimate of
the final number of options.
When option rights are exercised, the assets
obtained from share subscriptions are entered
into the invested unrestricted equity fund in
accordance with the terms of the plan.
Provisions
A provision is entered when the Group has,
due to a past event, a legal or factual obliga-
tion, and the obligation is likely to materialise
and the sum of the obligation can be reliably
estimated. The amount to be recognised as a
provision corresponds to the best estimate of
the costs required to meet existing obligations
on the closing date of the financial period. If the
time value of money has a material impact,
the amount of the provision is recognised as
the present value of anticipated expenses.
Taxes based on taxable income for the
period and deferred taxes
The tax expense in the income statement con-
sists of the current tax expense and deferred
tax. The amount of tax based on the taxable
profit for the period is calculated from the tax-
able profit based on the applicable tax rate in
each country. The tax is adjusted by possible
taxes related to previous periods. Deferred
taxes are calculated from all temporary dif-
ferences between the book value and tax
base. The biggest temporary differences arise
from the depreciation of property, plant and
equipment, deferred tax assets and internal
margins on inventory.
No deferred tax is recognised for non-deduct-
ible goodwill impairment or for the undistrib-
uted profits of subsidiaries if the temporary
difference is not likely to dissolve in the fore-
seeable future.
Deferred tax is calculated using the tax rates
enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred
tax assets are recognised to the amount for
which it is likely that taxable profit will be
generated in the future against which the
temporary difference can be utilised.
Financial Assets
Group’s financial assets are classified in the
following measurement categories: amortized
cost, fair value through other comprehensive
income and fair value through profit or loss.
The classification depends on used business
model for managing the financial assets
and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
Assets are classified as current assets, except
for maturities over 12 months after balance
sheet date, which are classified as non-cur-
rent assets. Purchases and sales of financial
assets are recognised on the settlement date.
Financial assets are derecognised when the
rights to receive cash flows from the invest-
ments have expired or have been transferred
and the Group has transferred substantially
all risks and rewards of ownership.
Amortised cost category consists of cash and
cash equivalents, trade receivables and loan
receivables where the business model is to
hold the asset to collect the contractual cash
flows. Financial assets recognised at amor-
tized cost are valued using the effective inter-
est method.
Money market investments measured at fair
value through profit or loss include investments
36
BIOHIT Oyj
Annual Report 2025
Biohit in brief CEO´s review Strategy Corporate governance Financial statements
in funds as well as investments in bonds.
Financial assets classified as fair value
through profit or loss are held with the objec-
tive of generating profits, and their perfor-
mance is monitored based on their fair value.
All gains and losses arising from changes in
fair value are included in finance income and
expenses in the income statement.
Assets at fair value fair value through oth-
er comprehensive income consist of equity
investments to unlisted Genetic Analysis AS
shares. Dividends from equity investments
are recognised at profit and loss statement.
Genetic Analysis AS was listed on the Swed-
ish Spotlight Stock Market on October 1, 2021.
Despite the Swedish trading location, Genetic
Analysis AS’s share price is quoted in Norwe-
gian kroner.
Financial Liabilities
Group’s financial liabilities are classified as
amortized cost and measured at fair value net
of transaction cost at settlement date. Finan-
cial liabilities are subsequently measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest
method. Financial liabilities at amortized cost
consist of loans from financial institutions.
Financial liabilities are included in non-cur-
rent liabilities, except for items with matur-
ities less than 12 months after the balance
sheet date, which are included in current
liabilities. A financial liability is derecognised
when the related obligation is discharged,
cancelled or expires. The group does not have
any derivative liabilities. Currently, financial
liabilities consist of accounts payable.
Impairment
The credit loss is recognised based on individ-
ual assessment of receivable. The simplified
expected credit loss model is applied for trade
receivables. The impairment process is based
on historical credit loss experience combined
with current conditions and forward looking
macroeconomic analysis. Realised loss levels
are adjusted based on history, so that they
represent the current and future information
and macroeconomic factors, that influence the
customers ability to make the payments for
receivables. Financial items based on trade
receivables and contracts are recognised off
the balance sheet as final credit loss., when it
is not plausible to expect to receive payment
e.g. in the process of bankruptcy.
The impairment or credit loss is recognised in
the consolidated statement of income within
other expenses.
Maturity analyses for trade receivables,
movement in allowance account and general
provisioning matrix is presented at note 2.26
under section credit risk. The Other financial
assets at amortized cost consist of cash at
banks.
Concept of operating profit and loss
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements
does not define the concept of operating profit.
The Group has defined it as follows: oper-
ating profit or loss is a net total that can be
calculated by adding other operating income
to net sales, subtracting purchase expens-
es adjusted by the change in the stock of
finished and unfinished products as well as
expenses caused by production for own use,
subtracting expenses from employee bene-
fits, depreciation and potential impairment
losses, as well as other operating expenses.
All other items, including discontinued opera-
tions, are presented beneath operating profit
or loss. Exchange differences and changes in
the fair value of derivatives are included in
operating profit or loss providing they arise
from business-related items. Otherwise, they
are recognised as financial items. Exchange
differences related to the Group’s internal
receivables and liabilities are recognised as
financial items.
Accounting policies calling for judge-
ments by the management and key
sources of estimation uncertainty
When preparing the financial statements, the
management must make assessments and
assumptions concerning the future, and the
outcome may deviate considerably from the
original assessments and assumptions. In
addition, discretion must be used in applying
the accounting policies. Although the esti-
mates are based on the most recent informa-
tion available, the realised values may differ
from these estimates. The most important
areas in which estimates, and discretion are
used are described below.
Revenue recognition of
license agreements
If the consideration of the license agreements
includes a variable amount of money, Biohit
values the amount of money as an expected
value, which corresponds to the sum of the
amounts of money weighted by probabilities.
The variable amount of money is based on the
management’s estimate of the annual pay-
ments that Biohit will likely receive.
Contract assets
Contract assets arise when the Company has
satisfied a performance obligation in accor-
dance with IFRS 15 and recognized revenue,
but invoicing and cash flows will occur later
in accordance with the contractual terms.
Management judgement is required particu-
larly in identifying performance obligations
and determining when they are satisfied,
assessing the timing of revenue recognition in
relation to invoicing, and classifying contract
balances as either contract assets or trade
receivables. Uncertainty related to these
estimates may affect the amount of contract
assets and how the balance is expected to be
realized in future financial periods.
Expected credit losses (ECL)
Contract assets are within the scope of IFRS
9 and a loss allowance is recognized for them
based on expected credit losses. The Com-
pany applies the simplified approach, under
which the loss allowance is measured on the
basis of lifetime expected credit losses. Key
sources of estimation uncertainty include the
assessment of counterparty credit risk and
the probability of default (PD), the determi-
nation of loss given default (LGD), including
37
BIOHIT Oyj
Annual Report 2025
Biohit in brief CEO´s review Strategy Corporate governance Financial statements
estimates of the collateral’s realizable value
and realization costs, as well as the timing of
cash flows and the realization of receivables
over several future financial periods. Man-
agement reviews the key assumptions in each
reporting period and assesses the sensitivity
of ECL to changes in key assumptions. The
process is described in Note 2.26.
Impairment testing
The Group conducts impairment tests as
required on intangible assets. It also assess-
es any indication of impairment in accordance
with the aforementioned accounting policies.
The recoverable amounts of cash-generating
units are measured on the basis of value-in-
use calculations. Preparing these calculations
requires the use of estimates.
Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets for unused tax losses and
temporary differences in regard to recognised
deferred tax assets are estimated by the
Group at least once per year to determine the
likelihood of the company in question gen-
erating sufficient taxable income before the
unused tax losses expire.
Other liabilities
Biohit uses judgement when evaluating the
size of the expense provision for the subsidi-
ary Biohit Healthcare S.r.l. The expense provi-
sion is based on the compensation demanded
by the Italian state from suppliers of medical
equipment for the budget overruns of the Ital-
ian administrative regions in 2015-19. There
is uncertainty about the size of the actual cost
effect, but since the counterparty is the Italian
state, the provision has been recorded in full
under other liabilities and to reduce turnover.
Measurement of assets at fair value
fair value through other comprehensive
income where senior managers’
judgement is required
After being listed on 1.10.2021 the Genetic
Analysis AS share price is based on the stock
quote, and as follows does not require the
senior managers’ judgement anymore. Before
being listed, the input data for the valuation
of Genetic Analysis AS consisted of transac-
tions involving the company’s shares on mar-
ket terms between third parties. If there were
no third-party transactions the assessment
was based on the discounted cash-flow model
based on the budgets by the management of
Genetic Analysis AS.
Application of new or amended IFRS
standards and IFRIC interpretations
Biohit will apply new or amended IFRS stan-
dards and interpretations from their effec-
tive date, or from the date they have been
endorsed for use in the EU. The consolidated
financial statements have been prepared
using the same accounting policies as in 2024.
No significant new standards or interpreta-
tions were adopted in 2025. Biohit has not ear-
ly adopted any new or amended standards or
interpretations that have been issued but are
not yet effective. Biohit will begin applying IFRS
18 for the financial year starting on 1 January
2027, and will apply it retrospectively in the
comparative information. Biohit has initiated
preparations for the implementation of IFRS
18 and is currently assessing the impacts
of the standard on the financial statements.
The preparatory work has identified changes
related to the presentation structure of the
income statement and subtotals, classifica-
tion and presentation requirements for key
items of income and expense, potential pre-
sentation impacts on the statement of cash
flows, as well as management-defined per-
formance measures (MPMs) and the related
disclosure requirements. In addition, Biohit is
assessing how the principles on aggregation
and disaggregation affect the presentation of
the financial statements.

2.3 Revenue and segment information
The company’s product portfolio consists of diagnostic tests, products that bind acetaldehyde
and monoclonal antibodies. The company classifies its entire product portfolio into one segment.

Asia 6,886 5,173
Other Countries 2,691 2,860
Revenue from contracts with customers total 15,732 14,283
The majority of Biohit’s revenue is generated
from distributor agreements for diagnostic
products. Biohit’s customers, i.e. the distrib-
utors, buy and resell the products. Biohit has
no post-sales rights or obligations relating to
the control over the products, except for a right
of return relating to some distribution agree-
ments. The goods that are sold include sev-
eral various tests for diagnostics of diseases in
the gastrointestinal tract, such as celiac quick
test, lactose intolerance test, Vitamin D test,
GastroPanel
®
test for the first-line diagnosis
of dyspepsia measured on simple blood test.
Furthermore, the product portfolio includes
Acetium
®
lozenge and Acetium
®
capsule, which
are acetaldehyde-binding products sold under
the trademark Acetium.
In licencing agreements, Biohit transfers
licensed immaterial rights to a customer, and
the customer both produces and sells the
products. Licencing agreements cover both
diagnostic products and Acetium products.
Biohit also has contracts that include both a
distribution agreement and a licensing agree-
ment. In this case, Biohit sells to the customer
finished products and raw materials needed
for production and, in addition, receives a roy-
alty fee based on the sale of the product. Rev-

enue from the sale of finished products, raw
materials and royalty income from licences are
recognised as separate performance obliga-
tions. In the case of the licensing agreement,
Biohit fulfills the performance obligation
at one point in time. In that case, the sales
revenue is recorded in full when the licence
is granted to the customer. The consider-
ation is then variable up to the extent that it
is highly probable that a significant reversal
in the amount of cumulative revenue rec-
ognised will not occur when the uncertainty
is subsequently resolved. Biohit values the
variable consideration as an expected value
that corresponds to the sum of the amounts
weighted by probabilities. The variable amount
of money is based on the management’s esti-
mate of the annual payments that Biohit will
likely receive. As a consequence, the revenue
related to the contract has, by the reporting
date, been largely recognised, even though
invoicing and the associated cash inflows will
be realised over future financial periods in
accordance with the contractual terms.
The difference between the timing of invoicing
and the realisation of cash inflows, compared
with the recognition of revenue, results in
contract assets and trade receivables being
presented on the balance sheet. These con-
tract balances primarily relate to revenue
already recognised and are expected to con-
vert into cash inflows during future financial
periods.
Management assesses that the contract does
not include a significant financing component,
as the payment terms primarily reflect a com-
mercial arrangement rather than a financ-
ing arrangement. The timing of payments is
determined on the basis of the customer’s
realised sales, and the arrangement is not
intended to provide financing to the customer.
Sales to one of the most important customers
is presented in note 2.27 (Related party trans-
actions)
Contract assets and liabilities:
Biohit recognises revenue at a point of time
when goods are delivered. The payment terms
in Biohit’s contracts with customers vary from
a payment to be made one month in advance
to payment in 60 days.
39
BIOHIT Oyj
Annual Report 2025
Biohit in brief CEO´s review Strategy Corporate governance Financial statements
A contract liability is recognised for payments received where the goods have not yet been delivered. This is the case, among others, with countries
outside Europe, where as a result of a higher credit risk relating to customers, an advance payment is received, on the average, one month before
the delivery of the goods. The timing difference between the receipt of the advance payment by Biohit and the delivery of the products does not
exceed one year.

Contract Assets 8,445 4,200
Trade receivables 2,294 1,724
Contract assets and receivables total 10,739 5,924
In relation to long term license and royalty agreements, Biohit recognises contract assets at the reporting date when revenue is recognised ahead of
invoicing. These contract assets will be converted into invoices and cash flows in future years in accordance with the terms of the agreements. The
increase in contract assets is mainly due to the agreement between Biohit and Hefei which was originally signed in 2022 and extended for several
years in 2025.
The timing of the expected cash flows relating to contract assets is as follows: 12% within less than one year, 46% within two to five years, and 42%
after more than five years.
Contract assets are within the scope of IFRS 9 and are treated as financial-asset-like items, for which impairment based on expected credit losses is
recognised. Biohit applies the simplified approach under IFRS 9 to contract assets (lifetime expected credit losses). Further information on the loss
allowance, the assumptions applied and the sensitivity analysis is presented in note 2.26 (Financial Risk Management).

item was presented within “Other financial income/other financial expenses”. Comparative figures have been restated
accordingly to reflect the reclassification.
Money market investments measured at fair value through profit or loss include fund investments as well as investments
in debt securities. All gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in finance income and expenses

Impairments for the financial year
During the financial year, impairment losses totalling EUR 130 thousand were recognised in respect of intangible assets relating to Biohit Tube. The impairment was due to the reduced
economic viability of the product, and no significant future cash inflows are expected to be generated from it. The recoverable amount was determined based on value in use. The impair-
ment loss is presented within the income statement under Depreciation and impairment losses. No indicators of impairment were identified for the other intangible assets during the
annual impairment testing, and therefore no further impairment losses were recognised.

The Group leases mainly company cars and
premises. Rental contracts are typically made
for fixed periods of 12 months to 5 years but
may have extension options.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are
initially measured on a present value basis.
Lease liabilities include the net present value
of the following lease payments:
fixed payments
variable lease payment that are based
on an index or a rate, initially measured
using the index or rate as at the com-
mencement date
the exercise price of a purchase option if
the group is reasonably certain to exercise
that option
Lease payments to be made under reasonably
certain extension options are also included in
the measurement of the liability.
According to the standard, the incremental
borrowing rate is defined as the interest that
the lessee would have to pay when borrowing
for a similar term and with similar security
to obtain an asset of an equivalent value to
the right-of-use asset in similar economic
environment. Biohit has determined the incre-
mental borrowing rate for leases based on the
debt-based financing offers received from the
3rd party. Biohit has applied a single discount
rate to a portfolio of leases with similar char-
acteristics.The maturity analysis of lease liabilities is presented in note 2.26 (Financial Risk Mangement).
The Group is exposed to potential future
increases in variable lease payments based
on an index or rate, which are not included in
the lease liability until they take effect. When
adjustments to lease payments based on an
index or rate take effect, the lease liability is
reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-
use asset.
Lease payments are allocated between prin-
cipal and finance cost. The finance cost is
charged to profit or loss over the lease period
so as to produce a constant periodic rate of
interest on the remaining balance of the lia-
bility for each period.
The standard includes optional recognition
exemptions for short-term leases (12 months
or less) and leases for which the underlying
asset is of low value. Biohit has decided to
apply the optional exemptions and recognises
these expenses as straight-line basis over the
period of the lease.
According to IFRS 16 -standard, the lessee’s
lease period is the period during which the
lease cannot be terminated. Also, a potential
extension or termination option should be con-
sidered, if the use of such option is estimated
to be reasonably certain. The lease term for
ongoing contracts is based on estimate by
Biohit’s management. Management regularly
estimates the length of those leases.

The company has classified the hierarchies of
financial assets according to the availability
of data on market terms and other price data.
The fair values on level 1 of the hierarchy are
based on the quoted (unadjusted) prices of
identical assets or liabilities on active markets.
The group has mainly used valuations provided
by its asset management partner as a source
of price data for determining the fair value of
these instruments, and the company has veri-
fied that the price data represents genuine, fre-
quent market transactions involving the instru-
ments in question.
In significant part, the fair values of level 2
instruments are based on other input data
than the quoted prices included in level 1,
although this data can be obtained for the
assets or liabilities in question either direct-
ly (as a price) or indirectly (as a derivative of
the price). The Group uses generally accepted
valuation models to determine the fair values
of these instruments, and the input data for
these models are based in significant part
on observable market data. The fair value of
bonds and fund shares is determined using
valuation models that incorporate observable
market inputs (such as market yield curves,
credit spreads and price quotations for com-
parable bonds). Pricing data is obtained from
an external asset manager.
The level in the fair value hierarchy at which
a certain item measured at fair value is classi-
fied overall is determined on the basis of the
significant input data on the lowest level with
regard to the entire item measured at fair value.
The significance of input data is evaluated in
its entirety in relation to the item valued at fair
value.
The original book value of other receivables
corresponds to their fair value because the
effect of discounting is negligible in view of the
maturity of the receivables.
The company’s cash and cash equivalents
comprise bank accounts and, in the compar-
ative period, term deposits with an original
maturity of no more than three months at the
date of acquisition.
Financial liabilities include trade payables
EUR 1,041 thousand (EUR 679 thousand).

2.19 Deferred taxes
The Group has tax-deductible losses of EUR12.8 million for the periods from 2015 to 2022. The company reviewed previously unrecognized tax losses and assessed that the parent company’s taxable
income in 2026 is likely to be available for the utilization of these losses. As a result, in 2025 the Group and the Parent Company recognized a deferred tax asset of EUR 341 thousand related to these
losses. In addition the group has entered R&D costs for EUR 3.3 million in accounting but not in tax deduction. No deferred tax assets has been recognised for these R&D costs.
The table for tax losses carried forward is presented on the next page.

the translation differences arising when the
financial statements of foreign subsidiaries
and joint ventures are translated into euros.
The invested unrestricted equity fund
includes other investments similar to share-
holders’ equity and the subscription prices of

Capital management
For capital management purposes Biohit
defines capital as total equity and interest-bear-
ing liabilities less cash and cash equivalents
and current financial investments. The main
objectives of Biohit’s capital management are
to maintain a solid overall financial position
and to ensure sufficient financial flexibility to
implement long-term business strategy.
2.23 Share-based payment
Share-based payments terms
and conditions
During the financial period 2021 Biohit Oyj
established an option programme within
the framework of the share-based incentive
scheme. In accordance with the terms of the
option programme, options are granted with-
out cash payment, but a subscription price is
set for the shares. The key terms and condi-
tions of the incentive scheme are shown in
the adjacent table.

For series I 2021 and I 2022 the share subscription is 1.3.2023-1.3.2028 and for series II 2021 and II 2022 1.3.2024-1.3.2028. The right to exercise
shares requires the fulfilment of specifically determined profit objectives. If an option rights holders employment ends for whatever reason, they
are obligated to return those option rights whose subscription period has not begun when the employment or management position ceases to the
Company
The shares have no nominal value. Shares
in Series A and B differ from each other in
that each Series A share entitles its holder to
twenty (20) votes at general meetings, while
each Series B share carries one (1) vote. The
dividend paid for Series B shares is, however,
two (2) per cent of the nominal value higher
than that paid for Series A shares. When this
regulation is applied, the nominal value of the
shares is taken to be EUR 0.17, which was the
nominal value of the company’s shares when
it decided to discontinue using nominal values
for shares.
The shareholders’ equity has been paid in full.

and withholding tax liability EUR 825 thousand (EUR 410 thousand).
Other payables include Biohit Healthcare S.r.l. cost accrual EUR 30 thousand (EUR 205 thousand). This accrual has been recognised in revenue. The
Italian state is demanding ex post compensation from suppliers of medical equipment for the budget overruns of the Italian administrative regions
in the years 2015–2019.
Biohit’s management of financing risks focuses
on analysing and minimising the following
financing risks:
Exchange rate risk
Exchange rate risks are associated with inter-
national business activities. When calculated
using comparable currencies, Biohit’s net rev-
enue not materially different to the reported
values. Overall, exchange rate changes did
not significant affect the company’s profitabil-
ity in the last financial period. The company’s
sales are primarily denominated in euros and
the company does not have any exchange rate
hedging. Most of the Group’s trade receiv-
ables and payables are in functional currency
of each group company and do not involve sig-
nificant transaction risk. The Group monitors
the translation risk related to Biohit Healthcare
Ltd, but the risk is not hedged.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate changes have a minor effect on
Biohit’s earnings. For this reason, the Group
did not use any separate hedging against this
risk in the financial period.
2.26 Financial risk management Share price risk
Biohit has invested EUR 0.1 million (EUR 0.1
million) in publicly listed shares. In addition,
the value of the investment in stock funds is
EUR 0.1 million (EUR 0.8 million). A rise or
fall in share prices by nine percentage points
would cause Biohit’s result to change by
about one percent.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk management aims to safeguard
the Group’s finances under all circumstances.
The Group’s current financial assets on the
balance sheet date amounted to EUR 4.8
million (EUR 6.6 million). The company also
holds shares in Genetic Analysis AS worth
EUR 0.1 million (EUR 0.1 million). The aim of
the investment activities related to the com-

Commodity risk
The company is not using derivatives to hedge
against commodity risks because the company
is not exposed to commodity risks by virtue of
the nature of its business.
Credit and counterparty risk
The investment portfolio consists of direct
corporate bond loans, structured products,
corporate loan funds, money market funds
and cash in bank accounts. Some of the prod-
ucts in the investment portfolio are listed,
while others are not. Sufficient diversifica-
tion of investments between asset categories,
investment instruments and counterparties
is essential. The company uses at least two
partners in its investment activities. Approxi-
mately 0% of the investment portfolio is cash,
low-risk money market fund investments
and investment-grade investments. 90% of
the investments are high-yield investments
has occurred. Majority of the contract assets
are from one client. At the reporting date, the
Biohit’s credit exposure to the counterparty
amounted to a total of EUR 8.4 million (EUR
4.6 million) contract assets and EUR 0.3 mil-
lion (EUR 0.0 million) trade receivables.
When assessing counterparty risk, consider-
ation is given to both the value and liquidity
of the share pledge provided as collateral for
Hefei’s receivables, as well as Hefei’s histor-
ical payment behaviour. The risk assessment
also takes into account the interdependence
between Biohit and Hefei. Hefei owns 22.67%
of Biohit shares. At the reporting date the
market value of those shares was EUR 12.4
million. As Biohit’s largest shareholder, Hefei
has a significant economic incentive to contin-
ue to meet its contractual obligations.
Among macroeconomic factors, particular
attention is paid to the economic outlook and
financing conditions in the counterparty’s
exposed to interest rate risk and unclassified
investments. 9% of the investments are in
equity funds. The company has assessed the
credit risk assosiated with investments and
funds. Investments and funds are held in sol-
vent banks, so it is considered that they do not
carry credit risk. No expected credit loss has
been recognised. The maximum risk of invest-
ments and funds is their book value.
The business units are responsible for the
credit risks connected to their trade receiv-
ables, and they have evaluated the risk of
credit losses for each customer. Biohit’s
customer base primarily consists of solvent
companies. As such, Biohit’s risk of credit
losses cannot be considered significant. The
company has not used credit insurance. The
majority of customer relationships are long-
term in nature and business relations are
active, so the company will become aware of
changes in customers’ creditworthiness at
an early stage. The credit risk concentration
main market, as well as developments in the
industry and the regulatory environment.
Expected credit losses (ECL)
The Company recognises an impairment loss
on contract assets in accordance with IFRS
9 by applying the simplified approach, under
which the loss allowance is measured at
an amount equal to lifetime expected credit
losses. The assessment is based on manage-
ment’s best estimate and incorporates both
quantitative and qualitative indicators as well
as forward-looking information. The estimate
also reflects the impact of the collateral asso-
ciated with the contract on the loss given
default (LGD). The LGD is based on the esti-
mated realisable value of the collateral and
the related realisation costs. There is inher-
ent uncertainty associated with the realisa-
tion of the collateral, which has been reflect-
ed in the valuation by applying a conservative
realisable value. At the reporting date, the
loss allowance relating to this counterparty
amounted to EUR 0.2 million.
The company has also assessed the sensitiv-
ity of expected credit losses to key assump-
tions. The sensitivity analysis examines how
the loss allowance would change if the proba-
bility of default (PD) or the realizable value of
collateral differed from management’s base
assumption. If PD increased by 0.5 percentage
points, the loss allowance would be expected to
increase by approximately 68%. If the estimat-
ed realizable value of the collateral decreased
by 50%, the loss allowance would be expected
to increase by approximately 43%. The sen-
sitivity analysis is indicative in nature and is
based on the assumption that other factors
remain unchanged.
On 31 December 2025, trade receivables
totalled EUR 2.3 million (EUR 1.7 million). The
maximum amount of credit risk is the book
value of the trade receivables.

The impairment loss is calculated on the basis of historical data and is based on the payment behavior of Biohit’s customers in previous years. Management considers that trade receivables overdue
by more than 90 days do not contain a material credit risk, as a significant proportion of these receivables relate to customers who tend to pay with longer delays, although no signs of insolvency
have been noted.
Credit losses recognised for 2025 amounted to EUR 0 thousand (EUR 4 thousand).

5. Formulae For Calculating Key Indicators
The new instructions issued by the European
Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on
Alternative Performance Measures (APMs)
took effect for the 2016 financial period. In
conjunction with the transition to an income
statement model based on expense types,
Biohit will present APMs to describe the finan-
cial development of its business and improve
comparability between different periods.
APMs should not be considered substitutes
for the key indicators specified in the IFRS
norms for financial statements. The opera-
tional key indicators have been adjusted for
certain measurement items that do not con-
stitute part of ordinary business activities or
that do not affect cash flow during the period
but that affect comparability. The items that
affect comparability and the APMs used by
Biohit Oyj are defined as follows:
Items that affect comparability:
Certain business transactions that do not con-
stitute part of ordinary business activities or
measurement items that do not affect cash
flow but that have a significant effect on the
income statement for the period have been
adjusted for items that affect comparability.
These items arise through non-recurring
transactions such as:
Asset impairments
Asset sales or purchases
Expense entries for benefits in accordance with IFRS 2

Notes to the parent company´s
financial statement
6.1 Accounting principles
When preparing the financial statements in
accordance with good accounting practices,
the company’s senior managers are called
upon to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the content of the financial state-
ments. The outcomes may differ from these
estimates.
The parent company’s financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the
Finnish Accounting Act.
The financial statements present figures in
thousands of euros based on the original val-
ues of business transactions, with the excep-
tion of financial securities, a component of
current assets, which are measured at fair
value.
Valuation of property, plant
and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recognised
on the balance sheet at acquisition cost, less
received contributions, planned depreciation
and impairments. Planned depreciation is cal-
culated using a straight-line model based on
the useful life of the asset.
The planned depreciation periods
are as follows:
Intangible rights 3 -10 v
Other long-term expenses 5 - 10 v
Plant and equipment 3 -10 v
Valuation on inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost
and net realisable value. Cost is determined
using the weighted average cost method. The
cost of finished goods and work-in-progress
comprises the cost of raw materials, direct
labour, other direct costs, and an appropriate
proportion of variable and fixed production
overheads based on normal operating capac-
ity. Net realisable value is the estimated sell-
ing price in the ordinary course of business,
less the estimated costs of completion and
the estimated costs necessary to make the
sale.
Valuation of financial securities
Financial securities, which belong to cur-
rent assets, are measured at fair value in
accordance with section 5.2a§ of the Finnish
Accounting Act. The fair value of investments
is determined based on price quotations on
active markets, i.e., the buy quotation on the
closing date of the financial period. Unreal-
ised profits and losses due to changes in the
fair value of money market investments are
recognised in the income statement under
financial income and expenses in accordance
with the Group’s updated accounting policies.
Investments recognised via the fair value
reserve consist solely of the equity investment
in the unlisted shares in Genetic Analysis AS.
Genetic Analysis AS was listed on the Spot-
light Stock Market in Stockholm on 1 October
2021. Despite being traded in Sweden, the
Genetic Analysis AS shares are listed in Nor-
wegian krone. The valuation is consistent with
the accounting principles of the Group.
Research and development expenditure
Research expenses are recognised as annu-
al expenses in the year in which they were
incurred. Development costs are capitalised
on the balance sheet in accordance with
IAS38 when Biohit can demonstrate that the
development of the product is considered to
meet the following criteria: 1) The product is
considered to bring financial benefit beyond
its useful life, 2) The product has already
been developed, and Biohit intends to sell the
product beyond its useful life, 3) The intangi-
ble asset will produce a probable economic
benefit, 4) Biohit has adequate and available
resources to complete the asset, 5) Biohit is
able to determine the costs incurred during
the development phase of the asset. Develop-
ment expenditure that has previously been
recognized as an expense cannot be capital-
ised at a later date. Depreciation is booked
for an asset from the time it is ready for use.
In 2025, the costs related to the five develop-
ment projects have been capitalised.
Principle for revenue recognition
When calculating net sales, indirect sales
taxes and discounts are deducted from sales
revenues. Sales of work performances are
recognised when they are handed over. Roy-
alty income is recognised as revenue when
control is transferred to the customer and
the performance obligation specified in the
agreement has been fulfilled. Royalty income
includes variable consideration, which is rec-
ognised to the extent that, based on manage-
ment’s judgement, it is highly probable that
no significant reversal of cumulative royalties
will occur.
Trade receivables and contract assets
Contract assets presented separately in the
consolidated financial statements are included
within trade receivables in the parent company’s
financial statements.
Maintenance and repairs
Maintenance and repair expenses are rec-
ognised as expenses for the financial period.
Pensions
The company’s statutory pension cover and
any applicable additional benefits is insured
by a pension insurance company. Pension
expenses are recognised on the basis of work
performed by employees during working hours.
Deferred taxes
In accordance with general guidelines issued
by the Accounting Board on 12 September
2006, the amounts of deferred taxes that must
be entered into the balance sheet are pre-
sented in the notes, along with the amounts
of tax liabilities and assets that should not be
entered into the balance sheet because they
are unlikely to be realised.
Items denominated in
foreign currencies
Receivables and liabilities in foreign curren-
cies have been translated into euros at the
exchange rate quoted by the European Central
Bank on the balance sheet date.

Report on the Audit of the
Financial Statements
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with
good auditing practice in Finland. Our respon-
sibilities under good auditing practice are fur-
ther described in the Auditor’s Responsibili-
ties for the Audit of the Financial Statements
section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to pro-
vide a basis for
our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the parent company
and of the group companies in accordance
with the ethical requirements that are appli-
cable in Finland and are relevant to our
audit, and we have fulfilled our other ethi-
cal responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, the
non-audit services that we have provided to
the parent company and group companies are
in accordance with the applicable law and reg-
ulations in Finland and we have not provided
non-audit services that are prohibited under
Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014.
The non-audit services that we have provid-
ed are disclosed in note 2.9 to the Financial
Statements.

Our Audit Approach
Overview
Materiality
Materiality determined for the consolidated financial statements: EUR145 thousand, which is 5% of profit before taxes.
Audit Scope
Scope of the audit: In addition to the parent company, the group audit included one foreign subsidiary
Key Audit matters
Revenue recognition cut-off
Royalty income from license and contract assets recognition criteria (Biohit HealthCare (Hefei) Co. Ltd)
As part of designing our audit, we determined
materiality and assessed the risks of material
misstatement in the financial statements. In
particular, we considered where management
made subjective judgements; for example, in
respect of significant accounting estimates
that involved making assumptions and con-
sidering future events that are inherently
uncertain.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our
Materiality
Audit Scope
Key Audit matters
application of materiality. An audit is designed
to obtain reasonable assurance whether the
financial statements are free from material
misstatement. Misstatements may arise due
to fraud or error. They are considered mate-
rial if individually or in aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the eco-
nomic decisions of users taken on the basis of
the financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we
determined certain quantitative thresholds
for materiality, including the overall group
materiality for the consolidated financial
statements as set out in the table below.
These, together with qualitative consider-
ations, helped us to determine the scope of
our audit and the nature, timing and extent
of our audit procedures and to evaluate the
effect of misstatements on the financial state-
ments as a whole.

Overall group materiality EUR145 thousand (previous year EUR150 thousand)
How we determined it 5% of profit before taxes
Rationale for the materiality benchmark applied
How we tailored our group audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit, taking into account the structure of the group, the accounting processes and controls,
and the industry in which the group operates. Biohit Oyj is a Finnish biotechnology company operating on global markets,
which has foreign subsidiaries in Great Britain and Italy.
We determined the type of work that needed to be performed at group companies. This work was performed by the group
audit team. Audit was performed for the parent company and for Biohit Healthcare Ltd, UK. In addition, we performed audit
procedures on the group level.
By performing the procedures above, we have obtained sufficient and appropriate evidence regarding the financial infor-
mation of the Group as a whole to provide a basis for our opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as
a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other
matters consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
We chose profit before tax as the benchmark because, in our view, it is the benchmark against which the performance of the
group is most commonly measured by users, and is a generally accepted benchmark. We chose 5% which is within the range
of acceptable quantitative materiality thresholds in auditing standards.

See the accounting policies and notes to the Financial Statements 2.3 Net sales and segment information,
2.26 Financial risk management, 2.27 Related party transactions and parent company note 6.23 Related
party transactions Biohit Oyj’s shareholder, Biohit HealthCare (Hefei) Co. Ltd (“Hefei”), acts as the exclu-
sive distributor of certain Biohit GastroPanel
®
products in China. In February 2022, Biohit and Hefei signed
a multi-year distribution agreement in China for certain GastroPanel
®
products, which has been extended
during 2025.
As presented in notes 2.27 and 6.23 “Related party transactions”, the recognition of royalty income from the
licence to Hefei in the amount of EUR 5.4 million constitutes a significant share of the company’s revenue
(EUR 2.8 million in 2024). This is based on the extended distribution agreement and management’s estimate
of the probabilities and timing of future cash flows (Note 2.3).
According to Note 2.3, Biohit fulfils the performance obligation of the license agreement at one point in time,
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
We gained an understanding of the revenue recognition process; and we performed substantive audit proce-
dures to ensure revenue is recorded in the correctperiod.
Our substantive audit procedures included:
testing a sample of selected distribution agreements to ensure the correctness of revenue recognition
criteria applied
testing revenue transaction that occurred close to th year end
testing certain revenue related balances recognised in the balance sheet
testing a sample of revenue transactions occurred during the year
testing the basis for revenue recognition cut-off for selected general ledger journal entries posted in
revenue accounts
auditing the notes and accounting principles regarding revenue recognition
We obtained understanding of the impact of the distribution agreement to royalty income from license
and related balance sheet items. Our substantive audit procedures included following procedures:
we read the distribution agreement signed on 8.2.2022 and the extension agreement signed in 2025.
We obtained evidence that Hefei has pledged 1.5 million Biohit B shares to Biohit as security for payment
obligations under the distribution agreement
we performed an analysis of royalty income recognition in accordance with IFRS 15
we audited the management’s estimate of royalty income of EUR 5.4 million and verified its accuracy by
reconciling the calculation with the accounting, financial statements and minutes of the Board of
Directors with regard to revenue recognition
Key audit matter in the audit of the group and of the parent company
Revenue recognition cut-off
Refer to the financial statements accounting principles and the financial statements note 2.3 Net sales and seg-
ment information Biohit Oyj (“Biohit”) is a Finnish Biotechnology company operating on global markets. Biohit’s
product portfolio consists of diagnostic tests, analysis systems, products that bind carcinogen acetaldehyde
in monoclonal antibodies and service laboratory operations. The Group’s revenue is predominately generated
from distribution agreements signed with several distributors who then sell the products further to healthcare
operators.
Revenue from distribution agreement based product sales is recognised at a point of time when the control has
transferred to a distributor in accordance with delivery terms.
We determined cut-off of revenue recognition as an audit focus area,as there is a risk that revenue in the
financial statements is recognized in an incorrect period due to either errors or fraud

in which case the sales revenue is recognized in full when control is transferred to the customer. In this
case, the amount of the consideration includes a variable amount of money up to the extent that it is highly
probable that no significant reversal of the amount of accumulated recognized sales revenue will have to be
made when the uncertainty related to the variable consideration is later resolved. Biohit values the variable
amount as expected value, which corresponds to the sum of the probability-weighted amounts. The variable
amount is based on management’s estimate of the annual payments that Biohit is likely to receive. As a
result, most of the revenue related to the agreement has already been recognized by the reporting date,
even though invoicing and cash flows will be realized in accordance with the terms of the agreement during
several future financial years.
As stated in notes 2.27 and 6.23, as part of the agreement, Hefei has pledged 1.5 million Biohit B shares to
Biohit as collateral for its payment obligations under the distribution agreement.
As presented in Note 2.3, the assets based on the licence agreement have increased to EUR 8,4 million
(EUR 4.2 million in 2024). The contract-based assets will be realised as invoicing and cash payments in
accordance with the terms of the agreement in the coming years. Note 2.3 shows that 42% of the projected
cash flows are expected over 5 years, corresponding to approximately EUR 3.5 million.
The company applies a simplified procedure in accordance with IFRS 9 to estimate expected credit losses. Infor-
mation on the deduction of losses, the assumptions used and the sensitivity analysis are presented in Note 2.26
Financial risk management.
The sensitivity analysis shows that expected credit losses can vary significantly. According to management’s
estimates, an expected credit loss of EUR 0.2 million has been recorded in the item.
The recognition of the royalty income from the licence and the fulfilment of the recognition criteria for the
assets based on it requires significant management judgement.
We identified the recognition of royalty income from the licence and the fulfilment of the recognition criteria
for the assets based on it as the focus area of the audit due to their significance and the valuation of the items.
This matter is a significant risk of material misstatement referred to in Article 10(2c) of Regulation (EU)
No 537/2014.
we audited Hefei’s royalty payments to Biohit in 2025
we assess the eligibility of royalty revenue and the fulfilment of the conditions for the recognition of con-
tract assets in relation to the probability and timing of cash flows and in relation to pledges and pay-
ments received
we tested the balance sheet items related to revenue recognition (contract assets in the Group, trade
receivables in the parent company)
we audited that the receivables related to the recognition of revenue have been correctly presented as
contract assets in the consolidated balance sheet and as trade receivables in the parent company’s
balance sheet
we audited the company’s calculation of the impairment of the contract asset related to expected
credit losses
we audited the notes and accounting principles regarding the recognition of royalty income from
the licence
with regard to the parent company, we assessed the correctness of the accounting treatment of revenue
recognition and trade receivables, as well as the amounts recorded in the financial statements, and their
compliance with the Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting practice

Responsibilities of the Board of
Directors and the Managing Director
for the Financial Statements
The Board of Directors and the Managing
Director are responsible for the preparation
of consolidated financial statements that give
a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS
Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU,
and of financial statements that give a true
and fair view in accordance with the laws
and regulations governing the preparation of
financial statements in Finland and comply
with statutory requirements. The Board of
Directors and the Managing Director are also
responsible for such internal control as they
determine is necessary to enable the prepara-
tion of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the
Board of Directors and the Managing Director
are responsible for assessing the parent com-
pany’s and the group’s ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mat-
ters relating to going concern and using the
going concern basis of accounting. The finan-
cial statements are prepared using the going
concern basis of accounting unless there is an
intention to liquidate the parent company or
the group or to cease operations, or there is
no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the
Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assur-
ance about whether the financial statements
as a whole are free from material misstate-
ment, whether due to fraud or error, and to
issue an auditor’s report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high lev-
el of assurance, but is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance with good
auditing practice will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are consid-
ered material if, individually or in the aggre-
gate, they could reasonably be expected to
influence the economic decisions of users taken
on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with good
auditing practice, we exercise professional
judgment and maintain professional skepti-
cism throughout the audit.
We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material mis-
statement of the financial statements, wheth-
er due to fraud or error, design and perform
audit procedures responsive to those risks,
and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient
and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher
than for one resulting from error, as fraud
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the over-
ride of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal con-
trol relevant to the audit in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the parent company’s or the group’s internal
control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of account-
ing policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures
made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the
Board of Directors’ and the Managing Direc-
tor’s use of the going concern basis of
accounting and based on the audit evidence
obtained, whether a material uncertainty
exists related to events or conditions that may
cast significant doubt on the parent compa-
ny’s or the group’s ability to continue as a
going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw
attention in our auditor’s report to the relat-
ed disclosures in the financial statements or,
if such disclosures are inadequate, to modi-
fy our opinion. Our conclusions are based on
the audit evidence obtained up to the date of
our auditor’s report. However, future events
or conditions may cause the parent company
or the group to cease to continue as a going
concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, struc-
ture and content of the financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the
financial statements represent the underlying
transactions and events so that the financial
statements give a true and fair view.
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain
sufficient appropriate audit evidence regard-
ing the financial information of the entities
or business units within the group as a basis
for forming an opinion on the group financial
statements. We are responsible for the direc-
tion, supervision and review of the auditwork
performed for purposes of the group audit. We
remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

al Report is expected to be made available to
us after that date.
Our opinion on the financial statements does
not cover the other information.
In connection with our audit of the financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the
other information identified above and, in
doing so, consider whether the other informa-
tion is materially inconsistent with the finan-
cial statements or our knowledge obtained in
the audit, or otherwise appears to be mate-
rially misstated. With respect to the report
of the Board of Directors, our responsibility
also includes considering whether the report
of the Board of Directors has been prepared
in compliance with the applicable provisions,
excluding the sustainability report informa-
tion on which there are provisions in Chapter
7 of the Accounting Act and in the sustainabil-
ity reporting standards.
In our opinion, the information in the report
of the Board of Directors is consistent with
the information in the financial statements
and the report of the Board of Directors has
been prepared in compliance with the appli-
cable provisions. Our opinion does not cover
the sustainability report information on which
there are provisions in Chapter 7 of the
Accounting Act and in the sustainability
reporting standards.
If, based on the work we have performed on
the other information that we obtained prior
to the date of this auditor’s report, we con-
clude that there is a material misstatement
of this other information, we are required to
report that fact. We have nothing to report in
this regard.
