Carsten Buhl, BioPorto's Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) stated: "Our "Forward" plan represents a bold step in advancing our ambition to transform kidney care worldwide. By focusing our execution over the next three years, we are confident we can accelerate adoption, drive innovation, and improve outcomes for patients, all while staying true to our purpose."
Strategic focus areas
To succeed in building market adoption, the Company will build on its US commercial execution, initiated in early 2025. The Company plans to strengthen its core competencies and expand business development resources to set up the organization for future growth.
U.S. hospital adoption is growing quarter over quarter, driven by expanding research use only (RUO) deployments and uptake following the end of 2023 FDA clearance of ProNephro AKI for pediatric use.
A key component in the Company's commercialization strategy is to secure strategic partnerships with instrument manufactures and thereby drive product adoption. These collaborations will enable more laboratories to adopt and utilize BioPorto's biomarker more rapidly. The goal is to have over 60 active hospitals across the US by the end of 2026.
To achieve high growth, the Company will apply US market learnings to its European go-to-market strategy. Growth efforts will focus on a few targeted European markets, utilizing clinical education and business development resources. Preparation for the EU IVDR certification is underway to meet anticipated demand and facilitate market growth. IVDR certification is expected in 2027.
Market penetration will continue in both pediatrics and adults' segments, particularly as the future enhanced clinical guideline (KDIGO) is expected to gain traction and drive increased adoption. The goal is to reach over 100 hospitals actively using the Company's products globally by the end of 2027.
To expand the addressable market, the Company intends to broaden its product portfolio, to address additional clinical settings where the NGAL biomarker is relevant. While the initial focus has been in intensive care units (ICU), BioPorto plans to expand into new areas through label expansion, product development through partnerships or own development to further improve kidney health and the patient's quality of life. The goal is to have over 170 active hospitals globally by the end of 2028.
As a result, BioPorto's aspirations towards 2028 have been updated
- Positive Cash Flow in the second half of 2027
- Revenue in FY 2028 between DKK 150-200 million
- Adjusted EBITDA-margin in FY 2028 of at least 15%
- The above aspirations replace the previously announced aspirations
| Aspirations | Update - Nov 2025 (Replaces Feb 2024 aspirations) | Previously - Feb 2024 |
| Cash Flow Positive | Second half of 2027 | End 2026 at the earliest |
| Revenue | DKK 150-200 million FY 2028 | USD 100 million FY 2029 |
| Adjusted EBITDA-margin | +15% FY 2028 | Neutral end 2026 at the earliest |
Funding Needs
The Company aims to be cash flow positive in the second half of 2027, requiring an estimated DKK 60-70 million in funding.
The Company continues to evaluate financing alternatives, including share issuance and alternative financing solutions, to support the completion of the US clinical study for adults and further strengthen the commercial platform. The Company will announce process and timeline in the near future.

About BioPorto
BioPorto is an in vitro diagnostics company focused on saving patients' lives and improving their quality of life with actionable kidney biomarkers - tools designed to help clinicians make changes in patient management. The Company leverages its expertise in assay development to create a pipeline of novel and compelling products that focus on conditions where there is significant unmet medical need, and where the Company's tests can help improve clinical and economic outcomes for patients, providers, and the healthcare ecosystem.
The Company's flagship products are based on the NGAL biomarker and designed to aid in risk assessment and management of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), a common clinical syndrome that can have severe consequences, including significant morbidity and mortality, if not identified and treated early. With the aid of NGAL levels, physicians can identify patients at risk of AKI more rapidly than is possible with current standard of care measurements, enabling earlier intervention and more tailored patient management strategies. The Company markets NGAL tests under applicable registrations including CE mark in several countries worldwide and FDA cleared ProNephro AKITM (NGAL) in the US.
BioPorto has facilities in Copenhagen, Denmark and Boston, MA, USA. The shares of BioPorto A/S are listed on the Nasdaq Copenhagen stock exchange. For more information visit www.bioporto.com.
