Shares of Alvotech (NASDAQ: ALVO) soared 9.15% in after-hours trading on Wednesday, following the release of the company's impressive financial results for the first half of 2025. The global biotech company, specializing in biosimilar medicines, reported a significant turnaround in its financial performance, driven by robust product revenue growth and improved operational efficiency.
Alvotech announced a net profit of $141.7 million for the first six months of 2025, or $0.49 per share, marking a substantial improvement from the net loss of $153.5 million, or $(0.61) per share, reported in the same period last year. The company's product revenue skyrocketed to $204.7 million, representing an extraordinary year-on-year growth of over 200% compared to $65.9 million in the first half of 2024.
Robert Wessman, Chairman and CEO of Alvotech, commented on the results: "The strong results from the first half of the year, with over 200% increase in product revenues year-on-year and the best quarter in our history in terms of operating cash flows, confirm our business momentum and the opportunities that lie ahead." The impressive growth was attributed to the expanded sales of AVT02 in the U.S., Canada, and European countries, as well as the successful launch and increased sales of AVT04 across multiple markets.
Despite a slight decrease in operating profit to $28.6 million from $43.4 million in the previous year, Alvotech maintained a strong financial position. The company reported a healthy cash balance of $151.5 million as of June 30, 2025, bolstered by robust operational performance and a successful Swedish private placement. Investors appear to be reacting positively to Alvotech's strategic investments in commercialization, regulatory progression, and pipeline development, which position the company for sustained long-term growth in the competitive biosimilar market.
