CEO Pär Fors comments:
“In Q2, we experienced continued strong growth within the Life Sciences International business, further highlighted by the subsequent acquisition of SL Controls in July. In addition, we announced the extension of the Novo Nordisk Infrastructure agreement – an important win for NNIT despite lower margins. While our Private & Public business was impacted by the competitive environment within the infrastructure business, resulting in margin pressure, positively our Winning Solutions now constitute 52% of NNIT’s total revenue. I am excited to head up NNIT in the pursuit of further value creation”.
- Group revenue increased to DKK 710m, up 1.3% (-1.8% organic) from Q2 2020.
- Life Sciences (excluding Novo Nordisk Group) grew to DKK 234m, up 35% (22% organic). This increase was related to the continued significant growth of the Life Sciences International business, where revenues increased by 56% (36% organic) to DKK 165m, while revenue from Life Sciences Denmark increased by 1.5% to DKK 69m.
- Winning Solutions now constitutes 52% of total revenue (44% in Q2 2020).
