In April, Evotec announced its new strategy for sustainable and profitable growth. A key element of this strategy is the refocused growth path, building on existing and new partnerships and further strengthened by leveraging its capabilities as a scalable technology and service provider. This also includes pivoting to a capex lighter model.

The Company expects this value creation strategy to result in tangible results earlier than initially expected, driven by stronger than planned revenue contributions from high-margin technology license deals.

After generating revenues below expectations in H1 2025, the Shared R&D base business is expected to continue to operate in a challenging market in the second half of 2025.

Dr Christian Wojczewski, Chief Executive Officer of Evotec, said:

"Our strategy for sustainable and profitable growth is progressing as planned. Strong demand for higher margin businesses reflects the strength of our platforms and validates the decisions we've made around focus, partnerships, and capital efficiency. While some parts of our business continue to operate in a challenging market environment, the execution of our Priority Reset, and new strategy gives us confidence that we are well-positioned to deliver on our long-term ambitions."

The changing revenue mix is expected to positively influence the margin profile of the Evotec Group.

In parallel, Evotec accelerated the implementation of its Priority Reset focused on ensuring sustainable profitable growth and right-sizing the business. The cost savings generated through these transformation efforts are now expected to exceed targets announced during the Q1 2025 results call on 06 May 2025.
