Bavarian Nordic Upgrades its Expectations for 2016
Post# of 301275
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, January 3, 2017 - Bavarian Nordic A/S (OMX: BAVA, OTC: BVNRY) today announced that the Company upgrades its expectations for the 2016 year-end cash preparedness from approximately DKK 1,900 million to approximately DKK 2,300 million. The upgrade is primarily a result of payments for IMVAMUNE deliveries, which have been received earlier than expected and to a minor extent the increased USD exchange rate as well as deferred investments. For 2016, the Company maintains its expectations for revenues of approximately DKK 1,000 million and a break-even result before interest and tax.
The full financial statements for 2016 will be published in the annual report on March 15, 2017.
