Bora 3Q25 Delivers Renewed Profitability as Efficiency and Scale Improves
Strategic realignment powering Bora’s dual-engine businesses model
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 November 2025 – Bora Pharmaceuticals (TWSE: 6472) today announced its financial results and operational highlights for third quarter of 2025.
Quarterly Business and Financial Highlights
- Company reported quarterly basic EPS of NT$5.09, with a loss per share of NT$1.49 from discontinued operations. Operating income reached NT$1,063 million and net income for continued operations came in at NT$822 million, resulting in quarterly EBITDA of NT$1,283 million, well on track to reclaim 2023 core P&L indicators.
- By the end of 3Q25, Bora’s operational integration and strategic streamlining efforts have been fully executed, meeting all targeted objectives. This milestone has led to a record-high CDMO business profitability, clear evidence that Bora’s dual-engine model is now entering its next phase of balanced but scalable growth.
- Fueled by expanded capacity and the addition of new dosage forms, Bora’s CDMO business grew 56.5% year-to-date through 3Q25, reaching over NT$7.3 billion and returning to a sequential growth trajectory.
- Pharma sales revenues fluctuated as legacy inventory phased out, and new products are still awaiting approvals. Generics portfolio competitiveness remains a key focus area in the near term. Led by Vigafyde, Bora’s rare disease portfolio continued to gain impressive market share with the vigabatrin franchise across three dosage forms continues. The Company targets to file its next specialty pharma product by year end to accelerate the rare neurology disease business. The Company also targets to market branded Deflazacort tablets by 2025 year end as a new driver for the business.
- The Company expects NTD to remain in the range of NTD 30-31 per USD for its operational planning.
- Share capital increased 19.99% during the quarter from stock dividend distribution, employee stock option exercise and convertible bond conversions.
- The Board approved Level-1 ADR issuance with each ADR share corresponding to 1/5 common share and total ADR issuance <10% of outstanding shares to enhanced market trust and investor service.
Mr. Bobby Sheng, Chairman of Bora Group, stated, “Bora executed a record level of post-merger CAPEX investment in 2025 and we are progressing in line with our strategic plan. We have expanded our Maryland aseptic fill/finish capacity by approximately 10% while solid and liquid dosage capacity in Minneapolis and Mississauga grew around 3%. The investments allowed Bora to increase our operational efficiency and increase revenue per headcount in the CDMO business by ~30% during the quarter compared to beginning of the year.
The CDMO backlog rose to US$296 million, driven by 27 new contracts and over 20 new molecules year-to-date, providing solid visibility into 2026 with 72% commercialized projects. Bora continues to leverage a unified CDMO network to enhance cost competitiveness for our very own Upsher-Smith generics portfolio, while paving the way for selective in-house manufacturing of specialty assets in the U.S.
As we look ahead, Bora is entering a phase of disciplined expansion and broader global recognition. Across our CDMO facilities in Asia and North America, we continue to actively navigate tariff and geopolitical challenges and turn them into new opportunities, strengthening supply chain resilience, and deepening collaboration with multinational partners.
On the pharma sales side, we continue to shed legacy low margin generics, increase our cashflow, and focus on our high-value generics pipeline, with certain PIV opportunities progressing to maturity in 2026. We remain dedicated on enhancing portfolio quality and increasing our Branded assets through selective specialty drugs, in order to build a more predictable and margin-accretive revenue base that mitigates product commoditization and price degredation.
In parallel, we are expanding our capital-market reach into the United States through the OTCQX Level-1 ADR program. We believe the Bora ADR will improve access and transparency for global institutional investors, while enabling overseas employees to participate in Bora’s growth. With no dilution and increasing visibility, we are laying the foundation for a stronger and more global 2026, defined by scaled growth, operational synergies, and increasing investor confidence.
3Q2025 Operational Achievements & Full Year Outlook
Global CDMO Operations
Global CDMO Operations (excluding intercompany orders from Upsher-Smith) revenues arrived at NT$1.78 billion in the third quarter and back to the sequential growth zone, representing approximately 37.13% of total revenue. A total of 418 million doses were developed and manufactured. Revenue contribution from global top 20 pharmaceutical companies remained steady at approximately 33%. Year-to-date, CDMO revenues grew 18.98% over last year and reached NT$5.27 billion. Bora continues to execute on expanding this customer base to enhance business visibility and stability.
- As the Company ramps up its Maple Grove site, the momentum for U.S. manufacturing has been encouraging. Several clinical-stage clients are now transitioning into long-term strategic partnerships, with project scale and client size both increasing. Maple Grove is well positioned to be the Center of Excellence for scale-up and U.S. supply-chain integration for Bora.
- Large molecule CDMO operation revenues saw nearly 50% increase over the previous quarter, driven by one new ADC client and several change orders in addition to Cipla’s own labeled product launch under the collaboration agreement. Positioned as a one-stop CDMO platform alongside Bora Pharmaceuticals, Bora Biologics is now fully accelerating its CDMO operations
Pharma Sales Operations
Pharma Sales Operations in the third quarter reached a revenue of NT$3.02 billion, down 6.4% YoY, primarily due to discontinuing several products under significant pricing pressure. Pharma Sales accounted for approximately 62.83% of total revenues.
- Discontinued loss per share (from the closure of the Plymouth production area) reflected the clearance sale of higher-cost inventories from Upsher-Smith’s legacy generics and internal supply transfer delayed by regulatory hurdles. These inventory clearance sales are now nearing completion. The greater-than-expected pricing pressure across our low margin generics reinforces the need to accelerate Bora’s transition toward higher-value and Branded specialty pharma products.
- The Vigabatrin franchise market share expansion continues with the “total patient” indicator seeing breakthrough in October.
- Bora continues to focus on DEE (Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies), where legacy compounds fail to meet significant unmet needs. The market is poised for new NCE entrants, expanding the addressable opportunity to roughly US$10 billion over the next 3–5 years. Bora aims to capture this growth through a Ready-to-Use 505(b)(2) pipeline and branded generics.
Recent Investor Conference
Bora will host an English online earnings call at 8:00 p.m. Taiwan time on Nov. 13th, 2025, followed by an investor conference hosted by Taishin Securities at the Regent Taipei at 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 14th, 2025. Both events will cover the company’s Q3’25 financial and business results and outlook.

The Taiwan-born pet mobility brand opens its first SoHo pop-up inside Flying Solo, bringing its Nordic-designed pet stroller collection to the heart of New York City.
NEW YORK, USA – Media OutReach Newswire – 02 April 2026 – FikaGO, the design-led pet mobility brand recognized across Asia and Europe, has opened its first New York City pop-up store inside Flying Solo in SoHo. The opening marks a deliberate move for a pet brand into one of the world’s most competitive retail districts.
Since entering the online American market in 2025, FikaGO has built a growing community of pet parents who see their animals as a central part of everyday life. Positioned as lifestyle essentials rather than conventional pet gear, FikaGO’s range of products is designed for people who want the best for their fur babies.
“We’ve always believed that pet products should not only be functional, but also beautifully integrated into everyday life.” — Eric Guu, Co-founder, FikaGO
SoHo was a considered choice: Flying Solo, with locations in New York and Paris, is known for championing independent design with a distinctly global sensibility.
The pop-up showcases FikaGO’s auto-folding Free To Go 2 in Sandy Beige, the brand’s bestselling product. All FikaGO’s products are manufactured using eco-friendly fabrics made from recycled materials, reflecting a commitment to sustainability. This includes their large-capacity Agile 2 pet strollers to their airline-approved Truffle carriers and the heavy-duty Kross pet wagon.
“Launching in SoHo is a meaningful milestone for us; it allows customers to truly experience the quality, design, and intention behind every FikaGO product.” — Eric Guu, Co-founder, FikaGO
As pet ownership rises globally, particularly among urban millennials and Gen Zs, demand for products that combine functionality, design, and lifestyle integration continues to grow. FikaGO was built for precisely this moment, and SoHo is precisely where that moment lives.
