Bora Navigates A Transitional 1Q26 And Sets A Strong Foundation For Rest Of The Year

Published

on

Transformational Acquisitions Expected to Contribute to Long Term Growth Starting 2Q26

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 May 2026 – Bora Pharmaceuticals (“Bora”; TWSE: 6472; OTCQX: BORAY) today announced its financial results and operational highlights for 1Q2026 and provides full year outlook.

1Q26 Business and Financial Highlights

  • The Company reported 1Q26 revenues of NT$4,001 million, down 17.68% sequentially, with basic EPS of NT$0.21. Gross margin stabilized quarter-over-quarter. The quarter reflected temporary slowdown across both businesses: pricing and demand variability in the generics market through January and February left Upsher-Smith’s 1Q26 revenue 18.63% below the trailing four-quarter run rate, while the scheduled annual maintenance of 6 weeks of our Maryland fill-finish facility limited fixed-cost absorption during the quarter, weighed on earnings quality.
  • March saw a rebound in both businesses as conditions improved for both the top and bottom lines with steady demand. During the quarter, the Company advanced Maple Grove site ramp-up significantly, with several multi-year CDMO agreements signed or progressing across pharma clients of various sizes. Additionally, the Company continues to win new CDMO business as 12-month rolling backlog arrived at US$315 million. With a healthy order book at North American sites entering the second quarter, we expect fixed-cost leverage to resume, driving profit improvement as utilization builds across the installed asset base. Meanwhile, Upsher-Smith has successfully defended market share and is deploying lifecycle management initiatives that reinforce our ability to set the cadence of sales in a dynamic competitive environment.
  • Non-operating loss primarily reflected a wider equity loss from affiliate Tanvex Biopharma, together with higher tax expense driven by annual 1Q recognition of tax from undistributed earnings of the previous year.
  • Disciplined OPEX control has driven expenses down 14.87% quarter-over-quarter and 14.41% year-over-year. This signals that resources have settled in as we begin to see advantages in scale; The Company expects ROA and ROIC to trend gradually upward, albeit with some quarter-to-quarter variability as operating leverage builds.
  • Board of Directors approved the acquisition of the CDMO business of MacroGenics Inc. (NASDAQ: MGNX), for total consideration of US$122.5 million, leading to a total 12-month rolling backlog upon closing to approximately US$375 million.
  • Sunway Biotech’s Board approved the 100% acquisition of Weider Global Nutrition (“WGN”), an iconic Phoenix-based American sports nutrition brand with a strategic Costco U.S. supplier relationship, commercial presence in 60+ countries, and established positions on Amazon and Walmart. The transaction completes Bora Group’s three-platform architecture, namely CDMO, pharma sales, and nutraceuticals operated under our “dual engine” strategy.
  • Share capital increased 0.04% during the quarter from employee stock option exercise.


Mr. Bobby Sheng, Chairman of Bora Group, stated, “The beginning of 2026 was eventful and challenging both in the world and at Bora. We have seen supply chain disruptions, inflation from wars, and continuous geopolitical tensions. Yet through it all, Bora Group’s disciplined approach to growth-oriented investment remained unwavering.

Our CDMO business CAPEX-to-revenue ratio reached an all-time high of over 10% in 2025, marking another year of upward progression and bringing the Company to a level comparable with established global CDMO peers. This marked a deliberate shift in where we direct investments from capacity-led expansion that defined our earlier growth chapters to a sharper focus on capability demands and modality, anchored in innovation and technology. Over the past 18 months, we have pursued an ambitious growth trajectory against a dynamic macroeconomic backdrop – recalibrating expectations, sharpening our strategy, and reaffirming long-term plans. The underlying demand environment supports our conviction: global pharma is growing at 5-8% per year, biologics CDMO outsourcing demand at 15%+ and small-molecule outsourcing demand at 8-10%. With our investment foundation now in place, we believe our CDMO business is positioned to compound organically at 13-23% annually.

In the first quarter, we executed a series of organizational adjustments, each aligned to a specific dimension of customer demand. We established the MSAT (Manufacturing, Science and Technology) function within the CDMO business, the R&D backbone of the platform, to deepen scientific and technical capability across our entire client base, an increasingly critical asset as small and mid-sized biotech and pharma clients rethink their supply chain. In parallel, we repurposed the Strategic Enterprise Account Management team into a networked model to serve clients for whom customer proximity is paramount. Together, these capability investments target specific customer pain points and position Bora to navigate the evolving political and economic landscape and capture a new chapter of commercial momentum.

To sum up, CDMO business in 1Q26 delivered US$27.2 million in total external wins on top of orders on hand, 60% or 7 molecules from pre-commercial programs. For context, full-year 2025 saw 16 pre-commercial molecule signings; 1Q26 alone has already secured nearly half that count in a single quarter. This run-rate acceleration is a leading indicator: as our capability investments take hold, forward visibility and growth potential are set to compound. Bora’s CDMO business has entered a new phase. Reinforcing this trajectory, the Group’s recently announced acquisition of MacroGenics’ Rockville, Maryland CDMO facility adds a substantial commercial-stage monoclonal antibody programs backlog and manufacturing expertise to the Group. Equipped with five 2,000-liter and two 500-liter single-use bioreactors and integrated QC and analytical labs and currently generating more than half of revenues from commercial manufacturing, the transaction marks a pivotal step in scaling Bora’s integrated biologics CDMO platform, known as Bora Biologics. DS and DP capabilities shall be integrated over the next 12–18 months to offer global biotech customers a single partner from development through commercial supply in the U.S..

On the pharma sales side, the Group faced competition across a handful of core generic products. Upsher-Smith is navigating the competitive landscape with a clear focus on the most margin-accretive opportunities while continuing to scout niche, brand-oriented assets. Near-term, DLS market share has been defended; over the medium term, sustained market share maximization of the infantile spasm franchise coupled with swift pipeline replenishment weighted toward differentiated assets is critical. In the first quarter, we saw unique patients for VIGAFYDE grew by more than 140% over same period last year and a continuous increase in new patients. Both healthy signs of steady execution pace building up to durable resilience in the pharma sales business.”

1Q26 Operational Achievements & 2026 Outlook


Global CDMO Operations

Revenues declined 24.62% year-over-year and 30.15% quarter-over-quarter including internal orders, mainly due to above-mentioned maintenance at fill and finish facility in Maryland, a routine cycle factored into our operating plan, and seasonality at Canada site. To scale biologics CDMO one-stop-shop platform in commercialized projects with SUB (Single Use Bioreactors) in the US; Board of Directors approved the acquisition of Rockville, Maryland based drug substance facility from MacroGenics for US$122.5 million.

Following closing, Bora Group intends to leverage the Rockville Site in cooperation with Tanvex Biopharma (TWSE: 6541), which operates the Group’s biologics CDMO franchise under the “Bora Biologics” brand. Together with Bora’s sterile drug product capabilities, this is expected to expand and strengthen the Group’s end-to-end biologics platform. The Rockville facility has operated as an outsource manufacturing partner since 2022 and is equipped with five 2,000-liter and two 500-liter single-use bioreactors and fully integrated QC and analytical laboratories and has been inspected by both the U.S. FDA and Japan’s PMDA.

During the quarter, 0.44 billion doses, or 108 molecules, were developed and manufactured. Excluding internal orders, the business accounted for 37.73% of consolidated revenues. Contribution from the top 20 global pharmaceutical companies stood at 32.10%.

As the Company continues to expand its CDMO capacity and capabilities, this year’s CAPEX plan is closely linked to the contracting cadence of a key customer anchored at Bora’s North American CDMO network. The Group expects to complete Maple Grove’s capital expenditure program in the first half of the year, sequencing the investment to grow in step with major pharmaceutical partners’ supply chain plans and optimize return on capital deployed.

Pharma Sales Operations

Discontinued operations impact in 2025 has materially abated this quarter, positioning Upsher-Smith to re-accelerate organic growth in 2026. Management has defined two strategic priorities for 2026, designed to enhance capital efficiency and sharpen commercial focus:

First, R&D capital allocation optimization. 505(b)(2) Pipeline programs have been transferred to Salus Therapeutics, an equity-method affiliate. Under this structure, Upsher-Smith retains the right to economic participation in commercial outcomes while shareholders’ exposure to early-stage development and regulatory risks, and associated cash burden is meaningfully reduced. The decision is consistent with the Group’s capital discipline observed across businesses.

Second, institutionalizing pipeline expansion capabilities. An integrated business development and medical affairs function is being established to systematically evaluate in-licensing, co-promotion, and bolt-on opportunities. This integrates Bora’s proven asset-selection and M&A strategy directly into Upsher-Smith’s commercial infrastructure, enabling franchise compounding through targeted external sourcing rather than capital-intensive internal development. These lifecycle initiatives focus but are not limited to pediatric epilepsy opportunities.

Collectively, Management expects Upsher-Smith to evolve fully into a capital efficient, commercially led, and therapeutically centered vehicle designed to deliver sustained shareholder value before exiting 2026.

Vinmec Launches Vietnam’s First Integrated High-Tech Robotic Surgery Network, Establishing the Country’s First Multi-Connected Robotic Surgery Ecosystem

Published

on

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 June 2026 – Vinmec Healthcare System today officially launched its nationwide network of High-Tech Robotic Surgery Centers, marking a major milestone in the advancement of surgical innovation in Vietnam. Beyond investing in some of the world’s most advanced robotic surgical platforms, Vinmec is pioneering the country’s first integrated robotic surgery ecosystem, connecting multiple specialties, hospitals and global technology partners to expand access to cutting-edge surgical care for patients nationwide.

The official inauguration of the nation’s first high-tech robotic surgery network, an integrated ecosystem designed to redefine surgical standards in Vietnam.

The defining feature of the new network is Vietnam’s first and only multi-connected robotic surgery ecosystem. Rather than deploying standalone robotic systems, Vinmec has established an integrated operating platform that brings together multiple world-leading robotic technologies across its hospital network. Vinmec Times City International Hospital serves as the clinical coordination hub, linking robotic surgery centers at Vinmec Smart City, Vinmec Da Nang, Vinmec Central Park, Vinmec Can Tho and other Vinmec hospitals throughout the country.

For general surgery, Vinmec operates three of the world’s leading robotic surgery platforms: Da Vinci Xi at Vinmec Times City, Hugo RAS at Vinmec Da Nang and Vinmec Central Park, and Toumai MT-1000 at Vinmec Smart City and Vinmec Can Tho. Together, these technologies enable surgeons to access deep anatomical structures, perform highly precise procedures within confined surgical spaces, and select the most appropriate platform based on each patient’s condition. Notably, the Toumai MT-1000 also introduces the capability for 5G-enabled remote robotic surgery, laying the foundation for future models of connected healthcare delivery.

In orthopedic surgery, Vinmec has deployed a comprehensive portfolio of next-generation joint replacement robots, including ROSA at Vinmec Smart City, MISSO at Vinmec Times City and Vinmec Can Tho, and CORI across Vinmec Ocean Park 2, Hai Phong, Da Nang, Central Park, Phu Quoc and Nha Trang. These technologies enable personalized surgical planning based on each patient’s anatomy while supporting millimeter-level precision in implant positioning and joint balancing, helping optimize clinical outcomes and accelerate postoperative recovery.

For neurosurgery and spine surgery, Vinmec has integrated the StealthStation S8, Mazor X Stealth Edition robotic guidance system and the O-arm with StealthStation O2 imaging platform at Vinmec Smart City and Vinmec Da Nang. This advanced technology suite provides real-time navigation, intraoperative imaging and continuous surgical verification, enabling surgeons to accurately access complex anatomical structures while improving procedural safety and reducing the risk of complications.

Complementing its advanced technology ecosystem, Vinmec is also the first healthcare provider in Vietnam to develop a “3-in-1” robotic surgery model built on Personalization, Automation and Standardization. Every patient receives an individualized treatment plan through preoperative 3D reconstruction and surgical simulation, benefits from AI-enabled robotic assistance during surgery, and is treated according to internationally recognized standards in clinical practice, education and research.

Technology delivers value only when placed in the hands of highly skilled professionals. To operate this large-scale robotic surgery ecosystem, Vinmec has developed a multidisciplinary team of specialists who have undergone rigorous training, competency assessments and international robotic surgery certification programs. Their expertise forms the foundation for delivering safe, high-quality and consistently effective surgical care.

Alongside the launch of the robotic surgery network, Vinmec also announced the establishment of the Robotic Surgery Patient Support Fund, backed by nearly VND 300 billion in funding from Vingroup. The fund is expected to reduce financial barriers and expand patient access to advanced robotic surgery, particularly for those facing financial hardship.

At the event, Prof. Tran Van Thuan, MD, PhD, Deputy Minister of Health, remarked: “I highly appreciate Vinmec’s vision of not only investing in advanced medical equipment but also building a comprehensive ecosystem encompassing clinical care, medical education, scientific research, technology transfer, and international collaboration.” The Deputy Minister also acknowledged the humanitarian value of the Robotic Surgery Patient Support Fund, which helps expand access to advanced surgical technologies for eligible patients.

Speaking at the launch ceremony, Prof. Tran Trung Dung, MD, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Vinmec Healthcare System, said:

“Our High-Tech Robotic Surgery Network is built on a model of multidimensional connectivity connecting experts, hospitals and the world’s leading technology partners within a single integrated ecosystem. Our goal is to provide patients in Vietnam with access to the most advanced surgical innovations while progressively positioning Vietnam as a regional destination for high-tech healthcare and precision surgery.”

According to Assoc. Prof. Pham Van Binh, MD, PhD, Director of the Vinmec High-Tech Robotic Surgery Network, the true strength of the centers lies not only in their advanced robotic systems but also in their ability to transform technology into sustainable clinical excellence.

“Our vision extends beyond building a treatment center. We are establishing an academic institution for robotic surgery that integrates clinical practice, academic training, scientific research and technology transfer, bringing together leading robotic surgeons from Vietnam and around the world.”

The launch of Vinmec’s High-Tech Robotic Surgery Network represents not only a significant milestone in the healthcare system’s development but also an important step forward in accelerating Vietnam’s transition toward an era of precision, personalized and technology-driven surgery. By bringing world-class surgical innovation closer to patients, Vinmec is laying the foundation for Vietnam to emerge as a new regional hub for robotic surgery and advanced medical treatment in Southeast Asia.

  • Travel-ready flagship: At 14.9 mm and 2.14kg/4.71 lbs, the Blade 16 fits a regular sleeve, and Thunderbolt 5 plugs it straight into a full desktop setup when you’re back at base.

Razer Blade 18: Desktop-Class Performance for Power Users
The Blade 18 is built for users who want desktop-class performance without completely trading mobility. The natural audience includes professional creators editing 4K footage, hardcore gamers chasing high frame rates and developers running VMs or AI training jobs. It’s the right pick if you’d rather have one machine that handles everything than maintain a desktop and a separate laptop.

  • Desktop-grade silicon: A 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus paired with an RTX 5090 at 175 W TGP runs AI training, 4K rendering and maxed-out AAA gaming without throttling.
  • Swap and expand your memory and storage: The only Blade with slotted DDR5 RAM (up to 128 GB) and two M.2 NVMe slots (up to 8 TB), so your Razer Blade can grow with your project files, AI model weights or game library.
  • A desktop display in a laptop: The 18-inch dual-mode panel runs UHD+ at 240 Hz for content creation or FHD+ at 440 Hz for competitive gaming.
  • Sustained performance under marathon workloads: Triple-fan vapor chamber cooling handles hour-long renders, AI training runs and ranked sessions without throttling, with overclocking support in Razer Synapse when you want to push further.
