Q1 2025Following a year of strong growth and continued global expansion, BioGaia enters 2025 with sales relatively flat versus last year, howeverwe anticipate getting back to growth next quarter. Americas is performing well with strong double-digit growth seen in the quarter. France has been added as a new direct market, and our percentage of direct distribution sales will continue to grow. We recently announced a shift in ownership that will represent the next chapter in our while maintaining our successful long-term strategy. Sales for the first quarter were in line with the same period last year. Our net sales reached SEK 366 million, representing a decline of 1% compared to Q1 2024 (a decline of 4% adjusted for currency effects). This has mainly to do with order variability for Asia Pacific and EMEA. In the quarter we have successfully increased our marketing and distribution investments. The operating margin was 27% compared to 39% in the same quarter last year.This quarter, the pediatric segment experienced a decline of 8%, while our adult segment continues to demonstrate impressive growth, increasing by 26% compared to the same period last year. In particular, our gut health and oral health range, led by BioGaia Gastrus and BioGaia Prodentis, continue to perform strongly across a growing number of markets.Mixed results in our market areasIn EMEA, sales decreased by 23% during the quarter, with a decline in sales in France mainly due to our decision to terminate the distribution agreement with our local partner. We also experienced a dip in sales in Romania, Poland, and South Africa, while Italy, Finland, and Belgium have delivered strong results. Asia Pacific decreased in sales by 19%, due to weaker sales toour key markets, China and Japan, and this is mainly due to order variability. It is also worth noting that the same quarter last year was an exceptionally strong quarter, making the comparison more challenging. In Australia, Hong Kong, and Indonesia, we had significantly strong results. In the Americas, we achieved excellent results in the quarter with a growth of 42%, thanks to increased marketing activities and broader distribution channels in the USA, along with continued strong development on Amazon. Both BioGaia USA and BioGaia Canada demonstrated robust growth in sales of our adult products: BioGaia Prodentis and BioGaia Gastrus. In Latin America, we had a double-digit increase with especially positive developments in Brazil, Chile, Guatemala, and Colombia, supported by regional training and marketing initiatives.Direct market expansion in FranceIn line with our long-term strategy to establish direct presence in key markets, we made the strategic decision to terminate our distribution agreement in France. This move allows us to take the business direct through our newly formed subsidiary, enabling closer customer relationships, greater agility, and stronger brand presence.

With growing consumer awareness around the benefits of scientifically footprint and product offering in this important market. While this transition may result in temporary sales fluctuations, it positions us for long-term growth and brand building in a high-opportunity market.Change in ownership a new chapter for BioGaiaThis quarter also marked a historic milestone for BioGaia. In March, a shareholder transition was announced in which Anatom Holding AG, a Switzerland-based, long-term investment firm with deep experience in the health and ingredients marketsshareholder. The transaction reflects a shared long-term belief in After more than three decades of dedicated ownership and a long-term successful strategyAnnwall, who have been with the company since its founding in 1990, have chosen to pass the torch to a new generation of long-term investors. Our current Chairman of the Board, Peter Rothschild, will step down in August of this year. On behalf of the entire team at BioGaia, I want to thank Peter and Jan for their vision and unwavering commitment in building BioGaia from the ground up into the global brand it is today. We are pleased that Peter will remain engaged as an advisor during the transition.We look forward to working with Anatom as we continue our mission to bring scientifically proven, probiotic-based health solutions to people around the world.Looking ahead to 2025We remain confident in our long-term focus: leveraging science-backed innovation, investing in key markets, and strengthening our brand visibility and engagement among consumers and healthcare professionals globally. 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year, fueled by ambitious plans and a growing team of dedicated and experienced colleagues.
