EQL Pharma has experienced delays in deliveries from several suppliers during the second quarter, resulting in lost sales during the quarter. Deliveries will come, but the lost sales cannot be made up for in the third and fourth quarters. Full-year results for the 2025/26 financial year are expected to be closer to 15 than 30 percent growth.
The delivery delays have also led to postponements of launches that were supposed to take place in Q2. These will instead take place towards the end of Q3 or early in Q4.
As a result of the delivery delays, EQL Pharma announces that sales in the second quarter are expected to land just under 90 (85.2) MSEK, i.e. a single-digit growth compared to the same quarter last year.
Profit is also affected, but not as significantly as sales. Here, an EBITDA margin closer to 20 than 25 percent is expected for the full year 2025/26.
The problems are of a temporary nature and do not affect the prospects of delivering on the Company's recently communicated five-year target.
All figures are preliminary and unaudited. EQL Pharma's results for the second quarter will be presented in full on Wednesday, November 5, 2025.
