BICO Group AB, a prominent player in the life sciences sector, specializes in providing innovative lab automation and bioprinting solutions to enhance efficiency and innovation in pharmaceutical and biotech industries. In its latest earnings report for Q3 2025, BICO Group AB reported a 4.8% increase in net sales compared to the same period last year, driven by a significant organic sales growth of 12.3%. The company achieved a gross margin of 55.0%, slightly up from 54.3% in the previous year. Despite these positive indicators, the company reported a substantial net loss from continuing operations amounting to SEK 1,107.5 million, primarily due to impairments in Discover ECHO and Biosero.
Key highlights from the report include a robust performance in the Lab Automation segment, which saw a 35% organic sales growth year-on-year, and the securing of significant orders by Biosero from a global pharmaceutical company. The Life Science Solutions segment also showed resilience with a 4% organic sales growth, aligning with market performance. The company’s strategic divestments of MatTek and Visikol generated SEK 740 million, bolstering its cash position significantly. However, the impairments totaling SEK 1,036 million impacted the EBIT for the quarter, reflecting a challenging trading environment and revised forecast assumptions.
Looking ahead, BICO Group AB remains optimistic about its long-term growth prospects, anticipating a compound annual growth rate of around 10%, in line with its financial targets. The company continues to focus on operational efficiencies and strategic investments in lab automation and selected workflows to drive sustainable growth. With a strengthened cash position and a more focused portfolio, BICO is well-positioned to capitalize on the increasing demand for lab automation solutions in the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors.
