Evolva - Resilience in a challenging environment

Evolva’s H120 results demonstrate excellent progress in its transformation from an R&D-driven enterprise towards a commercial company with a product-based revenue model. It recently received US EPA registration for nootkatone, and H120 witnessed a record order intake. COVID-19 caused delays at its contract manufacturers and hence only part of these record orders could be realised in H1, though much of these should be shipped in H2. EBITDA was also adversely affected by lower sales in Flavours & Fragrances (F&F) due to the pandemic. The company is seeing early signs of recovery and reiterates its commitment to cash break-even by FY23.
