CEO Comments
We are pleased to summarize 2024 with increased revenue, where sales of Strangvac in Sweden have grown by more than 50% during the year, new and improved methods and manufacturing processes have enabled further accelerated sales growth and significant progress in our project portfolio. With the new Strangvac orders received from Dechra at the beginning of 2025, the accelerated volume growth continues.
In the fourth quarter, sales of Strangvac vials in Sweden continued to increase, and for the financial year of 2024, sales growth exceeded 50% compared to the previous year. This growth indicates an increased interest in vaccination with Strangvac, and although total sales still are modest, we note that the positive trend continues. Our focus now is to ensure that this increased interest translates into further sales growth, and that Strangvac becomes a core vaccine for horses.
As announced in the company's press release in mid-January 2025, we have received orders from Dechra for Strangvac for a total value of SEK 5.8 million. The order value refers to vaccine vials for the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Austria, and is expected to be delivered within the coming months.
Our work with experts and the implementation of webinars builds knowledge about strangles and trust in Strangvac among both veterinarians and horse owners, forming the foundation for increased vaccination rates and sales growth.
The development and improvement work carried out together with our partners, aimed at providing increased stability and greater flexibility in manufacturing, resulted in the production of new vials based on new and improved methods and processes during the autumn. These new and improved methods and processes are in the final phase of regulatory approval through so-called variation applications. This work has taken nearly 1.5 years to complete and is an important milestone in ensuring a stable product flow over time.
At the end of the year, we faced delivery challenges with Strangvac, resulting in a shortage situation. After a short period of shortage, Strangvac returned to the market with new vials with long shelf life, from the production carried out during the autumn, which could be made available for sale through a special procedure, Special Batch Release, thus quickly resolving the shortage situation.
With approved variation applications, we will have established a platform that enables accelerated market penetration as vials with long remaining shelf life are a prerequisite for further intensifying sales efforts.
The EGM resolved to approve the Boards decision on a rights issue. The rights issue can raise up to SEK 225 million before issuance costs, meaning that the work initiated during the year to significantly strengthen the company's capital structure is considered to be in place. The rights issue is secured to 80% through subscription commitments and guarantee undertakings, including a top guarantee of SEK 75 million from HealthCap. HealthCap is a venture capital company that has invested in and built approximately 130 companies within Life Science. It is therefore gratifying that HealthCap is providing a top guarantee.
The financing will provide sufficient working capital to ensure successful development based on our growth-oriented business plan and strategy, which includes accelerated volume expansion of Strangvac, completion of the approval process for Strangvac in the USA, and further development of our vaccine against S. suis infection in pigs. Accelerated volume expansion of Strangvac will impact results not only through increased revenue but also through improved gross margins.
We have made significant progress in our project portfolio with the support of grants from the Eurostars 3 program to further develop our prototype vaccine against Streptococcus suis infections in pigs. Together with our partners at Testa Center and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, we have optimized the fermentation for the production of antigens. In collaboration with Moredun Scientific in the UK, we have also developed an experimental infection model to analyze the vaccine's efficacy against serotype 9 strains, and we are preparing for further studies of the vaccine's effectiveness planned for 2025.
Our vision remains to make Strangvac a core vaccination for horses, while also developing vaccines for other animal diseases based on our proprietary technology platform with fused recombinant proteins.
In conclusion, I would like to thank our employees, partners, and shareholders for your continued support and commitment to Intervacc. We look forward to a successful 2025 as we build on our achievements with Strangvac and our upcoming products.
