PolyPeptide Group AG (SIX: PPGN), a focused global CDMO for peptide- and oligo-nucleotide-based active pharmaceutical ingredients, today announced its detailed results for the first half of 2022, following the market update provided on 12 July 2022:
Raymond De Vré, Chief Executive Officer of PolyPeptide, commented:
“In the first half of 2022, we experienced the combined impact of an increased cost base ahead of planned growth and a more demanding operating environment, including a surge of inflation in the second quarter. Compared to the strong previous-year period, this resulted in a substantial and larger-than-expected drop in profitability. On the positive side, we continued to see encouraging progress in our active custom projects pipeline and consistently executed on our late-stage phase III pipeline. For the second half of 2022, we expect revenue growth and a partial margin recovery to be driven by our peptides business.”
