SUMMARY
- In 1H23, biologics division of Lonza Group (LONN SW) reported revenue decline of 1% YoY to CHF1.6B, due to low mRNA sales dragged by lower demand for the COVID-19 vaccines.
- Reflecting slower-than-expected growth in early-stage services and continued weak demand for nutraceutical capsules, Lonza has reduced 2023 sales growth expectation and cut core EBITDA margin guidance to 28–29%.
- Growth in 2024 will be impacted by high base, the subsequent mRNA revenue loss, and trial setback faced by small biotech client. Lonza anticipates 2024 margin in the high twenties.
