Highlights from Aquaporin A/S's Half-Year Results
Aquaporin A/S has showcased its commitment to innovative water filtration technologies in its latest financial report. The company released its Half-Year Interim Report for the period covering the first half of the year, detailing both financial and operational achievements.
Company Overview
Aquaporin A/S is a pioneering water technology firm known for its unique approach to water filtration using biotechnology. The company is dedicated to solving global water challenges by leveraging the Aquaporin Inside® technology, which transforms traditional filtration methods. This technology stems from Nobel Prize-winning research and is integrated into Aquaporin's membranes and solutions.
Financial Performance Summary
According to the interim report, Aquaporin recorded a revenue of DKK 9.1 million in the first half of 2025, a noticeable decline from DKK 29.2 million during the same period in 2024. This revenue dip was attributed to varying order completions and market dynamics.
The earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) produced a loss of DKK 28.0 million, slightly improved from a loss of DKK 33.5 million reported a year earlier. The overall cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2025, stood at DKK 29.4 million, down from DKK 103.5 million at the same point in 2024, reflecting shifts in the market.
Key Business Developments
Aquaporin's operational highlights illustrate resilience and growth potential even amidst challenges. The company successfully conducted a trial with Singapore’s National Water Agency (PUB), demonstrating rich results that exceeded project expectations. The biomimetic membrane showed up to 20% energy savings compared to traditional options, while adhering to stringent water quality standards.
Another notable advancement arrived with the appointment of Ulrik Lund Jakobsen as the new CEO. Jakobsen, effective from July 1, 2025, brings over 20 years of leadership experience from technology sectors, promising to steer Aquaporin towards accelerated growth.
Additionally, Aquaporin made a significant sale of 500 CLEAR membranes to a Beijing-based entity to enhance energy efficiency at municipal and industrial operations, showcasing real-world applications of their technology.
Future Outlook
The company has lowered its revenue guidance for the financial year to an estimated DKK 40-50 million, down from previous estimates of DKK 60-80 million, while maintaining its EBITDA guidance. The outlook indicates an awareness of the slow market recovery alongside ongoing efforts to optimize operations.
To support continued growth, Aquaporin has embarked on a strategic review aimed at raising capital. The company anticipates that future revenues will primarily be realized in the second half of the year, aligning with seasonal demand trends.
Investor Webcast
Aquaporin plans to host a live webcast where the management will present the findings of the Half-Year Interim Report and engage with investors through a Q&A session. This platform will serve as a proactive approach to share insights and foster transparency.
