Analysis
BioHarvest reported Q2 revenue of $8.8 million, up 3.8% year-over-year from $8.5 million. The underlying IFRS statement reported revenue of $ 8,837 and gross profit of 5,082, compared with $ 8,515 and 5,086, respectively, in the prior-year period. Gross margin declined to 58% of total revenue from 59%, indicating that the modest revenue increase did not translate into gross-profit growth.
Operating costs increased. Research and development expense was $1.7 million versus $1.4 million, sales and marketing expense was $4.4 million versus $4 million, and total operating expenses were $7.6 million versus $6.9 million. The company attributed the increase to technology development expenditures in CDMO Services and investment in the Products business unit's new marketing strategy. Consequently, operating loss increased to $2.5 million from $1.8 million, while adjusted EBITDA loss increased to $1.6 million from $1.2 million.
Net loss improved to $3.7 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share, from $4.1 million, or $0.24 per basic and diluted share. The six-month net loss was $ 6,356, compared with $ 6,418 in the prior-year period. Cash and cash equivalents plus bank deposits totaled $16.25 million as of June 30, 2026, while net cash used in operating activities during the first six months was $(4,170) and net cash used in investing activities was $(2,161). The balance sheet also reported current loans of 2,662 and non-current lease liabilities of 11,275.
The principal strategic development was the CDMO division's first manufacturing and supply agreement with an existing UAE-based fragrance customer. The agreement supports anticipated production of 20 tons of fragrance composition, although commercial manufacturing and delivery remain contingent on the composition meeting specified sensory parameters. Management said limited production could begin as early as the first half of 2027. Other CDMO activity included the $1.4M Israel Innovation Authority grant, a $1.125 million Stage 2 saffron contract, and expanded sweetener collaboration with Tate & Lyle PLC.
The outlook was revised to reflect a more cautious VINIA spending posture and further capacity investment. CDMO revenue guidance was tightened to $4-$5 million from $4-$6 million, while expected CDMO EBITDA loss was reduced to $1.5m - $2.5 million from $4m-$5 million. VINIA D2C guidance was reduced to $33-$35 million from $38-$42 million, and expected DTC EBITDA shifted to a $1.5m- 2.5 million loss from a gain of $.5m - $2 million. Consolidated EBITDA losses are now expected at $3m-$5 million, compared with the previous expected loss of $3m-$4 million.
Management, verbatim
We are extremely pleased to have signed a manufacturing agreement this morning with our UAE-based fragrance customer that secures commitment to produce a fragrance ingredient that is widely regarded as one of the most valuable fragrance raw materials in the world.
Dr. Zaki Rakib, Chief Executive Officer of BioHarvest
BioHarvest is transitioning from proving the breadth of our Botanical Synthesis technology across multiple industries to selectively converting our highest-value opportunities into recurring manufacturing revenue, royalties and sustainable profitability.
Dr. Zaki Rakib, Chief Executive Officer of BioHarvest
We are putting a stronger offer, stronger creative and a broader product range into market before we scale spend behind them - sequencing that costs us revenue this year and earns us margin next year.
