Comparative figures for 2022 are shown in brackets. Where market shares are mentioned, these are measured by value.

JYNNEOS/IMVANEX/IMVAMUNE

Revenue from sale of JYNNEOS/IMVANEX/IMVAMUNE in the first quarter was DKK 848 million (DKK 0 million) and includes revenue from ongoing contracts with the US government as well as contracts entered in 2022 with various other governments and organizations in response to the global mpox outbreak.

The Rabipur/RabAvert business continued the strong growth trajectory from 2022 and delivered revenue amounting to DKK 243 million (DKK 117 million) for the first quarter. The 108% growth in revenue versus the prior year was driven by continued and significant market growth in the two largest markets, US and Germany combined with strong brand performance in these markets.

The US market grew by 40% versus the prior year and RabAvert now has a market share of approximately 69%, which is 5pp higher compared to prior year.

The German market grew by 211%, reaching the pre COVID level for the quarter. Rabipur achieved a market share of 95%.

Encepur

Also, the Encepur business delivered strong growth with revenue amounting to DKK 87 million (DKK 69 million) for the first quarter, i.e. an increase of 26% versus prior year.

The Germany market grew by 33% versus prior year. Encepur market share was 25%, 4pp below prior year, but improved compared to the fourth quarter 2022, that was impacted by a temporary stock-out situation.

Third-party products

Revenue from sale of third-party products in the first quarter was DKK 43 million (DKK 14 million).

Other revenue

Revenue from contract work in the first quarter was DKK 31 million (DKK 120 million), mainly stemming from ongoing contracts with the U.S. government.

The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2023 and the process is progressing as planned. All statutory approvals, including antitrust, have been secured and only closing conditions between the parties remain outstanding.
