Bavarian Nordic Receives 440,000 Dose Contract to Supply Smallpox
and Mpox Vaccines for Undisclosed European Country
- The order was anticipated as part of the 2024 guidance and has
no impact on the remaining 2024/25 capacity for the Company’s
smallpox and mpox vaccine.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, August 21,
2024 – Bavarian Nordic A/S (OMX: BAVA) today announced the
award of a contract of 440,000 doses to supply its
MVA-BN® smallpox/mpox vaccine to an undisclosed European
country.
Paul Chaplin, President & CEO of
Bavarian Nordic, said: “Since the last mpox outbreak in
2022/23 Bavarian Nordic has established a strong strategic
partnership with a number of authorities that have recognized the
need to improve their preparedness against smallpox and mpox.
Importantly, the latest order was planned as part of our original
guidance for this year, and as such, will not impact the remaining
capacity that is available to support governments and organizations
to address the current WHO declared Public Health Emergency of
International Concern for mpox. Bavarian Nordic can still supply up
to 10 million doses of our smallpox and mpox vaccine by the end of
next year, with 2 million doses of this capacity available during
the remaining part of this year.”
All vaccines under this contract will be
delivered in 2024, bringing the total value of secured contracts in
the Public Preparedness business close to DKK 3,000
million, representing the upper end of the revenue guidance for
this business in 2024. Hence, Bavarian Nordic is now able to
confirm its new guidance for the year at the upper end of the
range, with aggregated revenue of approximately DKK 5,300 million
and EBITDA of approximately DKK 1,350 million. The total revenue of
approximately DKK 5,300 million consists of approximately DKK 3,000
million from Public Preparedness, approximately DKK 2,100 million
from Travel Health and approximately DKK 200 million from contract
work.
