Margins Climb as Efficiency Measures Take Hold

• Gross margin improved from 35% to 66% year-on-year, fueled by over SEK 60 million in annual cost savings and stronger sales of high-margin products.
• Analysts' consensus view highlights two key points:
  • Operational restructuring and efficiency gains provide the company with stronger leverage, potentially accelerating net margin recovery as revenue grows.
  • However, the persistence of large net losses keeps the path to profitability in focus, and realization of consensus forecasts will depend on further improvements in cost structure and clinical milestones.

Cash Runway Relies on Pipeline Success

• Hansa's continued negative equity means recent capital raises and debt restructuring are needed to fund operations only into early Q2 2026. This raises questions about financial flexibility if new funding or key trial successes are delayed.
• Analysts' consensus view stresses two major risks:
  • Pivotal clinical trial readouts could open up new markets and revenue streams, but failures or postponements may push the company toward further dilution or deep operational cuts.
  • Volatile commercial outcomes driven by organ allocation policy changes, as seen in Germany, could lead to unpredictable shifts in near-term revenue and margin outlook.

Valuation Gap Remains Despite Risks

• With shares at SEK31.20, the gap to DCF fair value of SEK503.14 is striking. The company’s price-to-sales ratio of 16.2x sits below the peer average (27.1x) but above the Swedish biotech industry average (9.6x).
• Analysts' consensus view notes two contrasting elements:
  • Analyst price target is 92.5, almost triple the current share price, implying confidence that earnings can swing from a SEK596.7 million loss to SEK375.4 million profit within four years.
  • Yet, strong upward momentum is contingent on delivering on high-growth assumptions, and ongoing share dilution (expected at 7% per year) could limit per-share upside for existing investors.
• Strong quarterly execution in margins and revenue expansion has turned analyst heads, but conviction depends on Hansa converting its pipeline opportunities into sustained profitability. 📊 Read the full Hansa Biopharma Consensus Narrative.
