CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S STATEMENT

Bioventix’s business continues to evolve, and the value created from our historic portfolio of core antibodies is increasingly supplemented by the addition of new antibodies for application in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases. 

Our results for the half year ended 31 December 2025 reflect this evolution with royalties from our Tau/neuro antibodies increasing five-fold for the reporting period from £30k to £150k.  These revenues relate solely to research use only (RuO) assays for Alzheimer’s disease as there are not yet any IVD assays approved for routine clinical use. The current leading blood-based biomarker assay for amyloid build-up in patients’ brains, a key element of Alzheimer’s pathology is brain-derived phospho-Tau217 or B-D pT217.  Amongst the RuO B-D pT217 assays being developed by the leading IVD companies (e.g. Roche, Siemens, Abbott, Beckman, Quidel-Ortho, Mindray etc.), three use at least one Bioventix SMA in their assay design.  For the newer high sensitivity research-orientated platform companies (e.g. Quanterix, Alamar, Spear, Bio-techne/Ella, Merck/SCM&Singulex, Stata etc.) three have also included at least one Bioventix SMA in their RuO pT217 assay design.  The royalty dynamics above, together with our increasing footprint in our customer’s Alzheimer’s assay designs, are clear causes for optimism that our revenues will grow significantly into the future as IVD assays for routine clinical use are approved.  The timing of these future IVD assay developments is difficult to predict.  Whilst there is an immediate demand for such tests to be made more widely available, new biomarker assays generally take longer to gain regulatory approval than revisions for existing biomarker assays although approval of the first new biomarker assay often leads to an acceleration in the subsequent approval for other such assays. 

Another key element of Alzheimer’s pathology is the rate of neurodegeneration experienced by Alzheimer’s patients.  There are a number of candidate blood-based biomarkers linked to neurodegeneration, all of which detect breakdown products of brain cell death.  Total brain-derived Tau is one such candidate biomarker and four leading global IVD companies and four high sensitivity RuO-orientated companies have at least one Bioventix SMA included in their total B-D Tau assay design. 

We believe that the next significant blood-based assay development for Alzheimer’s could be a test that reflects Tau tangle pathology, another important element of the disease that is currently assessed using Tau PET brain scans.  This is a critical part of our current research with our partners at the University of Gothenburg, and we hope to report further on this research later in the year. 

Additional neuro pipeline research projects are focused on peripheral neuropathies (i.e. non-brain neurological diseases) and vascular dementia which is linked to the build-up of amyloid in the blood vessels of the brain. 

Sales of our vitamin D antibody and other core antibodies were all broadly in line with last year’s sales reflecting the mature nature of the diagnostic products that our core antibodies support.  As we have reported previously the challenging market conditions in China have led to the loss of some limited revenue streams. 

Our sales relating to troponin antibodies were steady.  In November 2024, we reported that Siemens had received FDA approval for a revised label claim for their troponin assay covering a new prognostic application.  This was an encouraging development, but we have not yet experienced an uplift in our associated royalties. 

The water quality project mentioned in our November 2025 annual report continues to progress.  This project is based on the riverbank measurement of both caffeine and paracetamol, either individually or in combination, as markers of human-derived by-products in “fresh water”.  Laboratory-based tests are currently being used to measure E. coli and drug levels to establish the strength of the correlation between the two and therefore the opportunity to use drug levels as a simple, rapid surrogate measure for E. coli levels.  Quick and immediate riverside assays could be made possible by lateral flow devices that will become available for additional field trials during Q2.2026. 

We are increasingly confident that our progress in the development of SMAs for use in assays for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological conditions will materialise in tangible commercial success. Our strategy of partnering with academic research teams has also afforded a change in our business model and an increasing portion of our R&D costs are now linked to such success and incurred as a small percentage of the future revenue generated by SMA’s in neurological assays. These advancements alongside the resilience of our core product set and our relatively small operating base allow the flexibility to use reserves to maintain our dividend at historic levels and the Board is therefore pleased to confirm an interim dividend of 70p per share.  The shares will be marked ex-dividend on the 9th April 2026 and the dividend will be paid on 24th April 2026 to shareholders on the register at close of business on 10th April 2026.

In conclusion, the evolution of our business with a historic core of established SMAs being supplemented by a range of exciting new neuro SMAs is firmly taking shape.  Increased royalties for Tau antibodies for Alzheimer’s disease have been a highlight and we continue to remain excited about the future for these antibodies as the scientific output of our collaboration with University of Gothenburg increasingly translates into commercial success. 

We remain confident in the outlook for the year to 30 June 2026 and believe there are many reasons to be positive with the opportunities in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

General information

While the interim financial information has been prepared using the company’s accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the announcement does not itself contain sufficient information to comply with Financial Reporting Standard 102.

This interim financial statement has not been audited or reviewed by the auditors.

The accounting policies which were used in the preparation of this interim financial information were as below.

2.       Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The interim financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies (see note 3).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 

2.2 Revenue

Turnover is recognised for product supplied or services rendered to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria determine when turnover will be recognised:

Direct Sales

Direct sales are generally recognised at the date of dispatch unless contractual terms with customers state that risk and title pass on delivery of goods, in which case revenue is recognised on delivery.

R&D income

Subcontracted R&D income is recognised based upon the stage of completion at the year end.

Licence revenue and royalties

Annual licence revenue is recognised, in full, based upon the date of invoice. Royalties are accrued over period to which they relate and revenue is recognised based upon returns and notifications received from customers. In the event that subsequent adjustments to royalties are identified they are recognised in the period in which they are identified.

 

2.3 Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The Company’s functional and presentational currency is GBP.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non‑monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non‑monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

2.4 Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

2.5 Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

2.6 Current and deferred taxation

Current and deferred tax are recognised as an expense or income in the Statement of Comprehensive Income, except when they relate to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the tax is also recognised directly in equity.  The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that:

• The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and

• Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

2.7 Research and development

Research and development expenditure is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

2.8 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful live

2.9 Valuation of investments

Investments in unlisted Company shares, whose market value can be reliably determined, are remeasured to market value at each reporting date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income for the period. Where market value cannot be reliably determined, such investments are stated at historic cost less impairment.

 

2.10 Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

2.11 Debtors

Short‑term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

2.12  Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than twelve months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

In the Statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are

repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company’s cash management.

2.13 Creditors

Short‑term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.14  Provisions for liabilities

Provisions are recognised when an event has taken place that gives rise to a legal or constructive obligation, a transfer of economic benefits is probable and a reliable estimate can be made.

Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.

Increases in provisions are generally charged as an expense to profit or loss.

2.15  Financial instruments

The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless

the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after the deduction of all its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price after transaction costs. When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non‑current liabilities. Trade payables are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

2.16 Dividends

Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.

2.17  Employee benefits‑share‑based compensation

The company operates an equity settled, share based compensation plan. The fair value of the employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an expense over the vesting period. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted. At each balance sheet date, the company will revise its estimates of the number of options are expected to be exercisable. It will recognise the impact of the revision of original estimates, if any, in the profit and loss account, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised.

3. Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the company’s accounting policies (as described in note 2), management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

Carrying value of unlisted investments

The Company holds two unlisted investments in companies carrying out research in identifying biomarkers for diagnosing health conditions. The directors have continued to review the progress of this research over the last year.

In common with much scientific research, there is uncertainty, both in relation to the science and to the commercial outcomes, and no information to reliably calculate a fair value for these investments.

An impairment provision against the value of investment in shares of CardiNor AS was made in the year to 30 June 2024.

The carrying value of the other investment in Pre‑Diagnostics AS continues to be historic cost.

There were no areas requiring significant management judgment during the 6 months to 31 December 2025.

Royalty revenue accrual

The Company is notified and receives royalty revenue from one customer on a calendar year basis annually in arrears; it is therefore necessary to estimate this revenue for 12 months to 31 December 2025 and to process an accrual in respect of this.
