Evolva is a Swiss biotech company focused on the research, development and commercialisation of products based on nature. The company has leading businesses in Flavours and Fragrances, Health Ingredients and Health Protection.
Investment summary
Evolva’s overall geographical and product footprint continues to expand and the pipeline remains robust. In January 2021 Evolva announced the launch of a new product, L-arabinose, a natural sugar blocker and reducing sugar. The company’s aim remains to reach cash break-even by FY23. Due to COVID-19, Evolva has witnessed a softening in demand for some of its flavour and fragrance products, but H1 results demonstrated Evolva’s progress in transforming itself from an R&D-driven enterprise towards a commercial company with a product-based revenue model.
