SenzaGen’s Year-End Report 2025 | SenzaGen closes the year with continued strong GARD® sales
Message from the CEO
“As previously stated in the half-year report, 2025 performance was stronger in the second half of the year. GARD® continued to strengthen its market position with positive sales growth, driven in part by major orders from the US. This contributed to record-high GARD® sales in Q4 with 13% growth (18% at constant exchange rates). For the full year, the Group's growth was 4% at constant exchange rates. The number of orders received was particularly high in Q4, far above sales and previously reported figures during the year.
Our continued cost discipline plays a key role in our path to profitability and contributed to a lower cost base for the full year despite negative foreign exchange effects. The gross margin for the full year was stable at 65%, while the Q4 margin saw short-term decline, mainly due to a temporary change in the product mix. I am very pleased that, heading into 2026, we have a strong order book, a lower cost base, and therefore are starting the year stronger than ever to deliver growth and profitability in line with our 2030 growth plan.”
Peter Nählstedt, President and CEO

Transition to IFRS
As from the year-end report for 2025, SenzaGen has changed its accounting principles from K3 to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the IASB and adopted by the EU. Comparative figures have been restated as from 1 January 2024. The transition aims to enhance comparability with other listed companies and to strengthen transparency for international investors, as well as to enable a potential future change of the company’s listing.
