The business is progressing well and will be further strengthened with the inclusion of PharmaCept later this year, writes Västra Hamnen.

- Revenues lower but margins higher than expected
- Acquisition of PharmaCept closed during the quarter
- We keep our valuation interval of SEK 42.70 – 57.30 per share
Magle Chemoswed’s report for the first quarter of 2021 came in largely as expected; actual revenues were somewhat lower than we had forecast but the company’s margins were slightly better than our estimates. The COVID-19 pandemic meant that demand for manufacturing was lower this past quarter than in the first quarter of 2020, thereby decreasing revenues. Some of this revenue decrease was, however, offset by an increase in demand for their development services within CDMO. Royalty payments increased as well compared to the same period last year. No changes are made to the valuation model, hence we retain our valuation interval of SEK 42.70 – 57.30 per share.
