New product rollout
In the quarter, we launched an important new product. As mentioned, we
launched BioGaia Prodentis FRESH BREATH, our newest probiotic lozenge
designed to promote both instant and long -lasting fresh breath while
supporting healthy gums and teeth. Unlike conventional products like
mouthwash that may disrupt the natural balance of the mouth, BioGaia
Prodentis FRESH BREATH works with the oral microbiome to tackle bad
breath at its source, complementing daily brushing and flossing. The product
was launched in the US and will continue to be rolled out across other markets.
With this innovation, we will expa nd our specialized oral care portfolio and
continue to bring products that combine rigorous scientific research with real
benefits for everyday life.
Demand for our new product in capsules, BioGaia® Gastrus® PURE ACTION , is
high and is being rolled out to new markets . It is already available in the US,
Australia, Finland, Poland, Sweden and Hungary. This FODMAP -friendly
probiotic supports individuals with sensitive stomachs and participants who
used the product demonstrated significant reduction in IBS symptoms.
New patented strain
The scientific rationale and identification of our new patented strain, L. reuteri
BG-R46®, which will be featured in an upcoming next generation baby drops
product, has been published in the prestigious journal, Beneficial Microbes.
This new, evolved strain shows increased bile tolerance and potentiated
adenosine production. Bile is on e of the major stressors of the gastrointestinal
tract and increased tolerance implies increased bacteria survival. Additionally,
adenosine is a potent signaling molecule involved in combatting inflammation
among many other processes. In the publication, g enomic, phenotypic and
human safety were assessed and L. reuteri BG -R46® was found to be a safe,
well-characterized strain.
Continuing our journey
As previously announced, during the quarter, an extraordinary general meeting
elected a new Chairman. With great respect and gratitude, we acknowledge
that Peter Rothschild, our co -founder, longstanding CEO and then Chairman, is
stepping down. This marks a new chapter in BioGaia’s history as we welcome
Mauricio Graber as our new Chairman. Mauricio brings extensive experience as
a CEO in the food ingredients sector, as well as leadership roles within the
nutrition and health industries. He has previously ser ved as President and CEO
of Chr. Hansen A/S (today Novonesis), a large global bioscience company. His
broad expertise and proven leadership will be invaluable to BioGaia as we
continue to grow and innovate.
As we enter this new chapter and celebrate BioGaia’s 35th anniversary, I am
confident that the company is well -positioned to continue its journey of
innovation, scientific advancement, and strong international growth.
I look forward to the opportunities ahead and to driving BioGaia’s mission
forward.
BioGaia AB (publ.) Interim management statement 2025
The Board of Directors and the CEO of BioGaia AB hereby present the interim management statement for the period 1 January – 30 September
2025.
CEO’s comment
As reported, the third quarter showed solid overall growth of 7% (14%
excluding foreign exchange effects) and an adjusted operating margin of 26%,
underpinned by continued double -digit sales growth in the US market.
We see strong growth following increased media investments in the US and
our other prioritized direct markets, including Canada, UK and Australia,
attracting new consumers and enhancing brand awareness.
The AMERICAS (+10%) and APAC (+17%) regions delivered double -digit
growth, while sales in EMEA (-4%) declined for the quarter due to weak
performance in Eastern Europe.
We showed continued strong growth in the adult segment with a sales
increase of +6% (+13% excluding foreign exchange effects ) and year -to-date
+16% (+20% excluding foreign exchange effects ) with particularly strong
growth of our BioGaia Gastrus product line. The pediatric segment also
showed good growth of +7% (+14% excluding foreign exchange effects ) with
strong growth for BioGaia Protectis Drops in the Asia Pacific and Latin
America regions.
Quarterly performance across our regions
In the AMERICAS, overall region sales increased by 10% with the US market
achieving record breaking sales in the quarter. In the US market, we are
pleased to report that BioGaia Protectis Drops 5 ml was launched in over
1,000 Walmart stores, the largest retail chain in the world. We successfully
launched two new products with promising potential – BioGaia Gastrus
PURE ACTION in capsules, a new format, on Amazon which was well received,
and we launched the complet ely new product BioGaia Prodentis FRESH
BREATH with a strong online campaign. Canada is also performing well with
triple digit growth for BioGaia Prodentis . The BioGaia Prodentis line
has been well received by consumers and dental professionals in both Canada
and the US showing potential for continued significant growth.
Also, in the AMERICAS region our new digital campaign in partnership with
our Brazilian distributor Aché, targeting mothers and healthcare
professionals, has surpassed 10 million views effectively highlighting the
benefits and scientific evidence for our BioGaia Protectis Drops.
APAC sales increased by 17%. In our direct market, Australia, our expanding
distribution and marketing activities are yielding rapidly increasing market
shares. In Japan, our business development strategy is progressing well with
online sales growing in both the DTC and Amazon channels. Our partnership
with Alfresa, Japan’s largest pharmaceutical wholesaler is fully established fo r
the pediatric channel, as well as the announcement of a collaboration with
the Japan Midwives Association.
EMEA sales declined 4% for the quarter due to weak sales in Eastern Europe.
In our direct market France, we achieved record net sales driven by
pharmacies and expanded distribution. In the important market of Turkey, we
are pleased to have signed a long -term distribution agreement with Abbott, a
longstanding BioGaia partner in the Middle East, Latin A merica and other
markets. With Abbott’s local expertise and distribution network, we will be
able to drive a strong position in the market. Finally, we are ple ased to
announce two additional direct markets Germany and Austria that until now
have been lagging markets for BioGaia.

15 BioGaia AB (publ.) Interim management statement , January – September 2025
Note 3. Accounting policies
This interim management statement was prepared in all material
respects in accordance with Nasdaq OMX Stockholm’s guidance for
preparing interim management statements. Disclosures according to
IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting are provided both in notes a nd
elsewhere in the interim management statement. The accounting
policies applied in the consolidated income statement and balance
sheet are consistent with the accounting policies applied in
preparation of the most recent annual report. The financial acco unts
and segment information correspond to the statements used in
interim financial reporting prepared in accordance with IAS 34 to
provide comparability in the presentation between quarters. The
interim management statement includes a Message from the CEO ,
even if this is not a requirement of Nasdaq Stockholm’s guidance.
The information is nevertheless deemed important in satisfying user
needs.
For balance sheet items, figures in parentheses refer to previous
year-end figures. For income statement and cash flow items, they
refer to the same period previous year.
New accounting standards
Management’s assessment is that new and amended standards and
interpretations that came into force in 2025 have not had a material
effect on the Group’s financial statements. Management’s
assessment is that new and amended standards and interpretations
that have not yet come into effect will not have a material effect on
the Group’s financial statements for the period of initial application.
Incentive programs
The company has an incentive program for all employees based
partly on the company’s sales and profit and partly on individual
targets. The maximum bonus is equal to 12% of annual salary. In
addition to this program, BioGaia has also implemented an
employe e stock option program (“LTIP 2024”) and a performance
share program (“LTIP 2025”). The programs have been approved by
the Annual General Meeting.
LTIP 2024
490,000 Employee Stock Options (“options”) were granted on the
16th of March 2025 whereof 305,000 were granted to management.
In the quarter 20 000 options forfeited due to termination of
employment.
The options may be exercised for the subscription of Class B shares,
in accordance with the terms for the options, provided that certain
strategic and operational goals, set out by the board of directors,
are achieved. The goals will be set by the board of directors in
advance and will be linked to important events in the company’s
development such as the company’s financial performance and
fulfilment of the company’s strategic goals.
The determination of whether the vesting conditions have been met
shall be made by the board of directors, whose decision shall be
final and binding. Another requirement is also that the option holder
remains employed until exercise of the options.
The exercise price amounts to SEK 143.83. The options are valued
according to the Black -Scholes model with an expected volatility of
30.0% and an interest rate of 2.3%. This results in a value of SEK
11.02 per option.
LTIP 2025
332,500 Performance Share Awards (“awards”) were allotted on the
8th of August 2025 whereof 170,000 were allotted to management.
Each Performance Share Right (“rights”) shall entitle the holder to
receive Class B shares in the company free of charge upon
achievement of the specific performance criteria after a performance
period of approximately three years.
Below is a description on how each goal will be measured.
The operating margin represents 45% of the weighting in the
Performance Share Plan (“plan”). The target will be measured
between a threshold and maximum level over the program period,
with linear distribution of instruments given outcomes between the
two l evels. Provided that the result is lower than the threshold level,
no shares linked to the target will be distributed.
Sales increase represents 45% of the weighting in the plan. The
target, like the operating margin target, will be measured between a
threshold level, and a maximum level. Given an outcome scenario
between the threshold and the maximum level, a linear assig nment
will be assigned to the participant. Provided that the threshold level
is not reached, no shares will be paid to the participant.
ESG represents 10% of the weighting in the plan. Unlike the other
targets in the program, the ESG target will be measured as an
absolute hurdle. Upon fulfilment of the criterion, all shares will be
allotted. If the hurdle would not be met, no shares will b e allotted to
the participant.
The shares are linked to the participant's employment with BioGaia.
If the employment in BioGaia is terminated before the y have been
converted to shares, all the participant's unvested shares will be
cancelled, with certain exceptions for customary “Good Leaver” -
situations.
The exercise price amounts to SEK 0.2. The shares are valued
according to the Black -Scholes model with an expected volatility of
30.0% and an interest rate of 2.0%. This results in a value of SEK
80.16 per share.
Scope and costs of the LTIP programs
The programs are reported in accordance with IFRS 2, which means
that the rights are measured on the grant date at the fair value of
allotted equity instruments.
For LTIP 2024 the costs are SEK 0.4 million in the quarter including
social security costs, and the estimated total cost amounts to SEK 5.0
million based on the valuation at grant date, review of performance
criteria and an employee turnover of 10%.
For LTIP 2025 the costs are SEK 0.8 million in the quarter including
social security costs, and the estimated total cost amounts to SEK
15.9 million based on the valuation at grant date, review of
performance criteria and an employee turnover of 10%.
Further details about the programs are available on
biogaia group .com under Annual General Meetings 2024 and 2025.
If all options are exercised for subscription of new shares in the LTIP
2024 program this means a possible dilution of existing
shareholders by 0. 46%. The options are not in the money and are
thus not impacting the average number of shares after dilution and
earnings per share as of September 30, 2025.
The maximum dilution effect of the L TIP 2025 program is estimated
to amount to approximately 0.33 % of the shares . The average
number of shares after dilution is not affected as of September 30,
2025 and earnings per share is consequently not impacted.

Financial liabilities
BioGaia has a financial liability relating to the additional purchase
price in business acquisitions that is measured at fair value through
profit or loss. The additional purchase price is due to the acquisition
of Nutraceutics and is based on sales in Nut raceutics in 2026 or
2027. The amount, which will be settled in April 2027 or 2028, may
also be adjusted if the agreed budget for marketing costs is
exceeded.
Revaluation took place during the third quarter of 2025 and
BioGaia’s best assessment of fair value of the financial liability
related to the additional purchase price on 3 0 September 2025 was
therefore adjusted to SEK 61.0 million.
Estimates of fair value are based on Level 3 of the hierarchy for fair
value, which means fair value is determined using valuation models
where significant inputs are based on unobservable data. The
measurement was based on anticipated future cash flows di scounted
with a market -based interest rate. The value adjustment is
recognized as a financial expense of SEK 2.2 million (1. 9) during the
quarter. The weighted average cost of capital (WACC) amounted to
12.5% (12.7% on 31 December 2024).
Financial assets
BioGaia owns shares in the companies Boneprox AB and Skinome
AB through BioGaia Invest. These financial assets are measured at
fair value through profit or loss. Estimates of fair value are based on
Level 3 of the hierarchy for fair value, which means fair value is
determined using valuation models where significant inputs are
based on unobservable data.

A list of definitions of key ratios reported in the consolidated
financial statements is provided on page 164 of BioGaia’s annual
report for 2024. In this report, BioGaia reports information used by
Executive Management to assess the Group’s development. S ome of
the key ratios presented are not defined according to IFRS. The
company is of the opinion that these metrics provide valuable
complementary information to stakeholders and the company’s
management since they contribute to evaluation of relevant tren ds
and the company’s performance. Since not all companies calculate
key ratios in the same manner, these are not always comparable to
metrics used by other companies. These key ratios should therefore
not be seen as a replacement for metrics defined according to IFRS.
ESMA’s guidelines on alternative performance measures a re
applied, which means extended disclosure requirements regarding
key ratios not defined according to IFRS. A reconciliation of key
ratios that BioGaia considers relevant according to these guidelines

22 BioGaia AB (publ.) Interim management statement , January – September 2025
The company
BioGaia is a Swedish world -leading probiotic company that has been
at the forefront of microbiome research for more than 35 years. Our
vision is to be the most trusted probiotic brand in the world. We
develop, manufacture, market, and sell probiotic products for gut,
oral, and immune health. The products are primarily based on
different strains of the lactic acid bacterium Limosilactobacillus
reuteri , L. reuteri (formerly Lactobacillus).
The class B shares of the Parent Company BioGaia AB are quoted on
the Mid Cap List of Nasdaq Stockholm.
Business model
BioGaia has two types of distribution – sales through distribution
partners and direct sales (subsidiaries). Most of BioGaia’s revenue
comes from the sale of gut health products, such as colic drops,
immune - and oral health products. Revenues also include the sale of
bacterial cultures to be used in licensee products, such as infant
formula and dairy products, as well as royalties for the use of L.
reuteri in licensee products. BioGaia’s products are available in more
than 100 countries throu gh partnerships with nutrition and
pharmaceutical companies, as well as through our own subsidiaries.
BioGaia’s direct distribution, through subsidiaries, extends across
nine countries (Sweden, Finland, France, the UK, USA, Canada,
Australia, New Zealand and Japan).
BioGaia holds patents for the use of certain strains of L. reuteri and
certain packaging solutions in all major markets. At the end of 2024,
BioGaia held more than 600 granted patents for various bacteria
strains and territories.
The BioGaia brand
BioGaia launched its own consumer brand in 2006. Today, several
BioGaia’s distribution partners sell finished products under the
BioGaia brand in several markets. One important element of
BioGaia’s brand strategy is to increase the percentage of sales under
the BioGaia brand. Of products (drops, tablets for gut and oral
health, oral rehydration, etc.) sold in 2024, 92% (90%) were sold
under the BioGaia brand including co -branding.
Some of BioGaia’s distributors sell finished consumer products
under their own brand names. On these products, the BioGaia brand
is shown on the consumer package since BioGaia is both the
manufacturer and licensor.
BioGaia’s licensees add L. reuteri culture to their products and sell
these under their own brand names. On these products, the BioGaia
brand is most often shown on the package as the licensor/patent
holder.
Research and clinical studies
BioGaia’s strains of L. reuteri are among the most studied in the
world, in particular studies in young children, with strong pre -clinical
and clinical evidence. As of December 2024, over 270 clinical
studies with BioGaia’s various strains of L. reuteri have been
performed. These studies involved more than 23,000 individuals of
all ages.
Over the years, BioGaia has performed studies in the following
areas:
• Colic and constipation in infants
• Immune modulation and infection prevention
• Acute diarrhea
• Antibiotic -associated side effects, such as diarrhea
• Treatment of H. pylori infections
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• Oral health, such as gingivitis (inflammation of the gums) and
periodontitis (loosening of the teeth)
• Osteopenia
• Autism spectrum condition
• Urinary tract infections
