  • Audited results confirm full-year revenue of DKK 5,716 million and EBITDA of DKK 1,603 million.
  • Two new early-stage pipeline programs, Lyme disease and Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV), introduced.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, March 5, 2025 – Bavarian Nordic A/S (OMX: BAVA) today published its Annual Report for 2024. The consolidated, audited results were in line with the preliminary results announced on February 3, 2025. The full report is attached as a PDF file and can be found on the Company's website, www.bavarian-nordic.com.

We delivered strong results in 2024 after an extraordinary performance in our Travel Health business, demonstrating 22% growth year-over-year, combined with additional mpox vaccine orders, as we made significant strides in strengthening the public health response in Africa and other regions during the current outbreak,” said Paul Chaplin, President and CEO of Bavarian Nordic. “Our portfolio continues to grow, and we are truly excited to launch our chikungunya vaccine for travelers over 12 years later this year upon our recent approvals in both Europe and the US, while also continuing to expand our partnerships to improve access to critical vaccines for vulnerable populations around the globe. We are also pleased to advance two promising early-stage pipeline programs from our own research in Lyme disease and Epstein-Barr virus, both to enter clinical trials in 2026.

Significant events after the balance sheet date

  • In February, Bavarian Nordic entered a strategic partnership with Biological E. Limited, initially signing a contract manufacturing agreement with the aim to provide capacity for the future supply of chikungunya vaccines to endemic low- and middle-income countries.
  • In February, Bavarian Nordic received marketing authorization in Europe for VIMKUNYA® for persons 12 years of age and older. This followed a positive opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in January

Bavarian Nordic reported DKK 5,716 million in revenue in 2024, within the range of the latest guidance of DKK 5,400-5,800 million. The revenue was comprised of DKK 3,206 million from Public Preparedness, DKK 2,287 million from Travel Health, and DKK 223 million from other revenue.

Outlook 2025

DKK millionFY 2025 guidance
Revenue5,700 – 6,700
EBITDA margin26% – 30%

The expected revenue is comprised of DKK 3,000–4,000 million from Public Preparedness vaccines, of which DKK 2,500 million have already been secured by contracts. Furthermore, approximately DKK 2,500 million from Travel Health vaccines, and approximately DKK 200 million from contract work are expected.

Potential income from the sale of the Priority Review Voucher is not included in the outlook1.

Travel Health revenue includes DKK 50-100 million from the sale of chikungunya vaccines, which is planned for launch in the US and key European markets in the first half of 2025.

The normal seasonality of the Travel Health business and the timing of revenue recognition of orders from Public Preparedness will cause variability in revenue and EBITDA throughout the year, with the first quarter of 2025 being light.

The outlook is unchanged from the outlook announced on February 3, 2025 in company announcement no. 06/2025 which includes a full description of the key assumptions for the outlook, also available in the Annual Report 2024.

Conference call and webcast
The management of Bavarian Nordic will host a conference call today at 2:00 pm CET (8:00 am EST) to present the full year results followed by a Q&A session. A listen-only version of the call and presentation slides can be accessed here. To join the Q&A session, please register in advance here.
