Gentian’s strategy for long-term growth and value creation

Gentian Diagnostic’s purpose is to deliver efficient diagnostics for better treatment decisions.

The growing diagnostics market puts increasing pressure on clinical laboratory efficiency. However, many of the existing, clinically relevant biomarkers are available only on slow and inefficient platforms. Gentian’s solution is to utilise PETIA (Particle-Enhanced Turbidimetric Immunoassays), based on proprietary nanoparticle technology and knowhow, to convert existing biomarkers to the most efficient automated, high-throughput analysers.

Gentian’s portfolio of high-impact diagnostic tests targets several large and growing disease areas such as infections and inflammation, kidney failure and congestive heart failure. The company has four established products – Cystatin C, fCAL® turbo, Canine CRP and fPELA® turbo – that contributed to 30% annual revenue growth in 2019-2023. The most recent launch in Q3 2023 of Retinol-Binding Protein (RBP) will support growth for this category. In addition, GCAL® has been launched and is in market development while NT-proBNP is in the product development phase – with the two latter having potential to become growth accelerators. The company also has undisclosed projects in exploration and ‘proof of concept’ phases.

In 2021, Gentian announced a long-term ambition to generate an estimated annual revenue of NOK 1.0 billion in 5-7 years, dependent on the timing of NT-proBNP launch yet to be concluded. In comparison, total revenue was NOK 111 million in 2022. The company’s roadmap for long-term growth and value creation is founded on six strategic pillars:

  • Grow annual revenue from the company’s established products by 20%+ annually – by expanding market access through additional commercial partners and regulatory approvals.
  • Demonstrate clinical relevance of GCAL® for the early detection of severe infections.
  • Bring a steady stream of new high-impact diagnostic tests to market.
  • Secure one new contract with a global commercial partner every year, building on already established partnerships with major diagnostic companies across products.
  • Grow gross margin from ~50% to 60%+ through economies of scale.
  • Deliver long-term EBITDA margins of 40% through operational leverage and cost discipline.

 

*5 established tests, 1 in market development and further 1 in product development.

** Dependent on timing of NT-proBNP launch
