Previous Earnings Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nov 13 | Q3 2025 earnings | Positive | -1.0% | Reported $9.1M revenue, +39% YoY, with 61% gross margin and guidance. |
| Aug 11 | Q2 2025 earnings | Positive | +0.7% | Q2 revenue grew 41% YoY to $8.5M with 60% gross margin expansion. |
| May 15 | Q1 2025 earnings | Positive | +1.1% | Q1 revenue rose 47% YoY to $7.9M, beating guidance with margin gains. |
| Mar 31 | FY 2024 results | Positive | +4.8% | Q4 and FY 2024 revenue nearly doubled with margins up to 55%. |
| Nov 25 | Q3 2024 earnings | Positive | -1.9% | Q3 2024 revenue doubled YoY to $6.5M with 1,200 bps margin expansion. |
Earnings releases have generally been positive fundamentally, with mixed but often modest price reactions and a slight tilt toward gains.
Across the last five earnings events from Nov 2024 through Nov 2025, BioHarvest consistently reported strong revenue growth and expanding gross margins, driven by the VINIA franchise and CDMO contracts. Price reactions were usually modest, with three positive and two negative moves, suggesting that strong fundamentals have not always translated into outsized upside. Today’s full-year 2025 report and 2026 guidance continue the themes of growth, margin expansion, and scaling CDMO, fitting into this ongoing execution narrative.
Historical Comparison
In the last 5 earnings releases, BHST moved an average of 0.76%, typically reacting only modestly to strong growth and margin expansion, so outsized swings would be atypical.
Earnings releases since late 2024 show a steady progression: quarterly revenue rising from $6.5M to around $9.1M, gross margins improving into the high-50s/low-60s, and ongoing guidance toward adjusted EBITDA breakeven while scaling the VINIA D2C and CDMO engines.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement highlights FY 2025 revenue of $34.5M with 59% gross margins, improved Q4 profitability metrics, and detailed 2026 guidance, including consolidated revenue of $42–48M and an adjusted EBITDA loss of $3–4M. It underscores VINIA’s scale with more than 85,000 active users and expanding CDMO partnerships. Historical earnings releases have shown similar themes of growth and margin expansion. Key elements to watch include progress toward narrowing losses, CDMO ramp versus investment needs, and the company’s ability to sustain cash levels around $23M while funding both growth engines.

Botanical Synthesis Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) Services Division Highlights
In 2025, BioHarvest secured new, significant contract partnerships based on BioHarvest's patented Botanical Synthesis platform:
- In May 2025, announced a development and commercial partnership targeting the multi-billion-dollar fragrance and scents market, to develop a plant-based fragrance compound derived from a plant that is under significant threat due to over harvesting and habitat loss.
- In May, announced the first successful Stage 1 CDMO partner contract has moved to Stage 2, which involves the delivery of a sufficient amount of biomass to be tested for suitability and involves the development of optimal growing conditions in liquid media.
- In September, announced the ability to produce plant-based exosomes at scale, in its bioreactor media, demonstrating a new capability within its Botanical Synthesis platform and a potential source of future product and CDMO revenue streams.
- In October 2025, announced a development and commercial partnership with Saffron Tech, a pioneer in revolutionizing advanced cultivation methods for saffron - one of the world's most valuable and health-promoting botanicals - to develop and commercialize saffron-derived botanical compounds.
- In the fourth quarter of 2025 and first few months of 2026, the CDMO division continued to make significant progress across existing projects including completing Stage 1 for a rare scent-producing plant used in the global fragrance industry. The program represents what BioHarvest believes to be the first-ever successful creation of a stable cell culture for this rare and endangered fragrance plant and positions BioHarvest to enter the growing premium fragrance segment, estimated at
$23B globally.***
Dr. Zaki Rakib commented "Since its creation in 2024, the CDMO has evolved beyond a traditional model in what we can describe more as partnerships with its customers. This shift reflects the collaborative nature of our engagements, where we often participate in long-term value creation, including royalties and, in certain cases, ownership in developed compositions. It also reflects the additional investments we are making in the form of building new capabilities that include AI- driven molecule discovery and exosomes production. This and the consumer products business form two separate growth engines, that requires a two-lens approach to maximize the Company's ability to generate value."

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This press release includes the following non-IFRS measure - Adjusted EBITDA, which is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted for stock-based compensation and fair value adjustment of convertible loan and or warrants, issuance of warrants as well as exchange rate impacts. The company believes this non-IFRS measure, when considered together with the corresponding IFRS measures, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to the company's results of operations. However, this non-IFRS measure has significant limitations in that it does not reflect all the costs and other items associated with the operation of the company's business as determined in accordance with IFRS. In addition, the company's non-IFRS measures may be calculated differently and are therefore not comparable to similar measures by other companies. Therefore, investors should consider non-IFRS measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance in accordance with IFRS. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, its corresponding IFRS measure, is shown below.

Forward-Looking Statements
Information set forth in this news release might include forward-looking statements that are based on management's current estimates, beliefs, intentions, and expectations, and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. For the CDMO Services Business Unit, there is no assurance of additional future contracts, and readers are cautioned that increased revenue is not necessarily an increase in net income or profitability as costs will likely increase as well. There is no assurance that signed research agreements will proceed past a contracted stage, or that a developed molecule or compound will be commercialized or will generate royalties to the Company. Successful commercialization of any compound developed will be subject to consumer preferences, advertising budgets and other factors affecting market acceptance of new products which are uncertain and cannot be assured. Launching new products is subject to risks and uncertainties including the risk that the market will not accept the product or that government approvals required for sale or import of the products will not be obtained. There is never an assurance that any product set will successfully disrupt established product categories. There is no assurance that the Company will maintain or improve current financial performance, as revenues and margins are dependent on a combination of factors such as supply chain efficiencies, input cost stability, marketing efficiencies and uncertain consumer preferences. All forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and actual results may be affected by a number of material factors beyond our control. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. BHST does not intend to update forward-looking statement disclosures other than through our regular management discussion and analysis disclosures.
