Automated Blood Testing

antibody

antigen

Bioventix creates and manufactures

sheep monoclonal antibodies (SMAs).

Customers incorporate these

antibodies in reagent packs for use on

automated blood-testing machines

Bioventix sells liquid “physical” SMAs and

derives royalties from their downstream use

3

Creating Antibodies

White blood cell (B cell)

mortal

Secretes a single antibody

Polyethylene

glycol (PEG)

Bioventix’s business is based on the ability

of sheep to make better antibodies than mice

Better antibodies can facilitate better tests

4

Myeloma fusion partner

Immortal

Secretes nothing of use

Why SMAs? (testosterone)

Roche published their prototype assay in

2008 and launched this assay in 2009

It is the Bioventix antibody that made this

possible

5

In 2003, it became clear that testosterone

testing for women was inadequate

Magnetic

Fluorescent

label

Why SMAs? (troponin)

Troponin is a component of heart muscle

that leaks out after a heart attack

A new improved Siemens assay for troponin

was released in ex-US markets in May 2017

6

Fertility

Clinician education and

familiarisation and the

need to change hospital

protocols is likely to mean

sales from the new

Siemens assay gear up

during 2018

Business Dynamics

Bioventix takes about 1 year to make antibodies

Customers take 2-4 years to: formulate a prototype

test; conduct field trials; submit data to regulatory

authorities; obtain marketing approval

This is an impediment to revenue growth – but

delivers longer term revenue continuity

Conclusions and Outlook

2016/17: excellent results for the year as additional growth

comes from our vitamin D antibody and other antibodies

2017/18: high sensitivity troponin project expected to gear up

during 2018 and help balance revenues lost through termination

of NT-proBNP revenues of ~£1,000k

2018-2020: growth linked to success of Siemens & their high

sensitivity troponin project

2020-2030: growth linked to new products emerging from the

company’s R&D pipeline and collaborative work with new

biomarkers
