Iconovo AB (publ) announced that it has received an order from a company revenue wise ranking among the top ten largest pharma companies in the world to evaluate a multi-dose inhaler from Iconovo. The study is a so-called in-vitro study to assess the suitability of using the inhaler in the development of an originator medicine. The order value is 220 000 SEK and is to be performed during next three months. The order value is limited but may lead to
further collaboration if the evaluation concludes positive. Iconovo has successfully expanded its CDMO business performing contract development of original drugs in the company's inhaler platforms where Iconovo receives a fixed, healthy profit margin on work performed. Iconovo already has five active customer agreements in the CDMO area and is expected to add three to five new agreements per year. In the coming years, this area will constitute a significant part of the revenue. An important factor for the company's long-term value creation is that new and existing customer agreements in this area also have the potential to lead to license agreements or inhaler sales.
