Bioretec announced on Wednesday that it had concluded change negotiations focused on its Finnish production function, which the company initiated in early June to streamline operations and improve profitability. A total of 12 employees were included in the scope of the negotiations, and as a result, the employment of three of those employees will be terminated. The negotiations aimed to achieve additional annual savings of approximately 0.2 MEUR, in addition to the previously announced savings target of approximately 0.4 MEUR. We will account for the decreasing cost level in our estimates in connection with the next update.
Cost structure to be adjusted to reflect actual demand
These measures align with the production adjustment process that the company initiated last fall. Bioretec already stated in November 2025 that investments made in production have proven to be oversized in relation to the actual development of the business. At that time, the negotiations resulted in one person being made redundant and five people being temporarily laid off, but according to the company, these measures alone were not enough to adjust production to the current volume. The company had built up its production capacity in anticipation of faster ramp-up of sales of the RemeOs product family, but this has progressed more slowly than anticipated.
The targeted additional savings of 0.2 MEUR are limited in euro terms within the company’s overall cost structure relative to its clearly loss-making earnings level (our forecast for 2026: revenue of approximately 5.1 MEUR, adj. EBIT: -7.1 MEUR). However, the measures are moving in the right direction: the company appears to be adjusting its cost structure tightly to match actual demand while protecting the cash reserves raised through the share issue in the spring. In the short term, the focus remains on ramping up RemeOs sales in the US and Europe.
