BRAIN Biotech AG, a leading provider of integrated solutions for the biologisation of industry, today published its 9M results of FY2023/2024.
BRAIN Biotech AG has built up a strong cash position of € 13.0 million within the 9M period by successfully executing several refinancing operations, primarily with debt instruments.
Turnover in the BioProducts segment, which comprises the product business with specialty enzymes and other proteins, increased slightly from € 30.3 million to € 30.4 million in the reporting period. Total operating performance amounted to € 30.1 million and was therefore 2.0% lower than in the same period of the previous year. Turnover in the third quarter amounted to € 10.5 million, representing a dynamic increase of 11.1 % compared to the same period of the previous year (€ 9.5 million). Adjusted EBITDA in the BioProducts segment fell from € 3.3 million to € 3.0 million. This is mainly due to higher personnel costs resulting from the recruitment of new production staff for future growth and operating start-up costs for the commissioning of the second large-scale fermenter.
The 9M period has seen a strong improvement of the operating cash flow from € -4.5 million in the period last year to € -2.7 million during this reporting period. This improvement was primarily driven by strong working capital control and stringent receivables management.
