Board Proposed NT$10 Cash Dividend Per Share

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 March 2026 - Bora Pharmaceuticals ("Bora"; TWSE: 6472; OTCQX: BORAY) today announced its financial results and operational highlights for full year 2025 and provides 2026 outlook. FY25 Business and Financial Highlights

• Company reported full year revenues, with discontinued operations reported separately, of NT$19,014 million, up 9.11% from the prior year and basic EPS of NT$23.90, or NT$2.63 for the fourth quarter. Full year EPS represents a 24.22% year-over-year decline, mostly due to a net loss per share of NT$11.24 from discontinued operations.
• In the fourth quarter, following the completion of tech transfer of production transitions out of the Plymouth area in Minnesota, the COGS of those originally Plymouth-made inventories have been reconsolidated to COGS line. Hence on a like-for-like basis when compared with other quarters in 2025, fourth quarter gross margin would have been approximately 38-39%. The reported high single-digit percentage sequential decline in gross margin, which also led to softened operational leverage, was primarily attributable to a temporary slowdown in DLS orders from following the entry of a new competitor in Nov. with limited launch visibility during the quarter. Higher effective tax rates during the quarter were a direct result of less sell-through downstream from related party transactions of the internally manufactured generic products. In addition, heightened generics competition of Topiramate ER, a leading generics product of Upsher-Smith, was also a negative gross margin mover.
• Management believes the 4Q25 OPEX profile more accurately reflects the expanded operating platform and our strategic repositioning into new focus areas. Sales and marketing expenses increased seasonally in line with market share cadence and channel expansion initiatives, while R&D spending sat on the disciplined side. Gross margin expansion serves as the key lever for operating leverage as scale improves fixed-cost absorption.
• Pharma sales revenue remained volatile in the fourth quarter as legacy inventory phased out and new product approvals remain pending. Generics portfolio competitiveness remains a key focus area in the near term for both top line and gross margin. Nevertheless, led by vigabatrin franchise, Bora's rare disease portfolio continued to gain impressive market share across dosage forms. The Company aims to actively refill pipelines in 2026 to regain profitable growth.
• The Group's CDMO business delivered another strong quarter in both revenues and gross margin. Supported by expanded capacity and the addition of new dosage forms, CDMO revenues grew 53.8% year-over-year in 2025 to NT$10.64 billion, including internal orders. Excluding internal orders, revenues reached NT$7.50 billion, representing a 19.53% increase compared to 2024.
• As 2025 marked a year of post-merger integration and strategic consolidation, Bora achieved its highest operating cash flow margin in recent years at 34.74% in the fourth quarter, compared with -4.00% in the same period last year. This improvement reflects the transformation of the Bora Group into a more efficient organization operating on a larger and stronger platform. The Board has proposed a NT$10 cash dividend per share, demonstrating confidence in the Group's strengthened cash generation and commitment to delivering sustainable returns to shareholders, reaching the highest yield rate proposed.
• Share capital increased 3.18% during the quarter from employee stock option exercise and convertible bond conversions.

Mr. Bobby Sheng, Chairman of Bora Group, stated, "2025 represented a pivotal year for Bora Group. Beyond post-acquisition integration, it was a year of disciplined capital allocation and balance sheet stewardship. Having stepped onto a larger growth platform, we deliberately reassessed optimal cash deployment, portfolio mix of both CDMO and Pharma Sales businesses and forthcoming return metrics under a stable equity structure. One year after closing the 2024 acquisitions, we achieved our highest operating cash flow margin, marking a complete turnaround from the same period last year when the Group first transitioned to its current scale. The external environment was marked by significant shifts. We operated against a backdrop of renewed U.S. trade and industrial policy shifts, triggering supply chain realignment and foreign exchange fluctuations. At the same time, rapid AI adoption began reshaping manufacturing competitive dynamics, if not capital market funding flow. Concurrently, the Group faced competition in a handful core generic products that remain meaningful contributors to revenue and EBITDA. Discontinued operations aside, based on the reclassified financial statements for 2025 and 2024, EBITDA for continued operations declined 19.0% compared to 2024, but remains 12.5% higher than 2023,...
