CEO Jethro Holter comments:

"We are delighted that the enzymes business continues to drive strong quarterly
sales growth and delivered on its promise to bring ArcticZymes Technologies into
profitability during 2020. Both the therapeutics and combined molecular
diagnostics (MDx)/molecular research segments have contributed towards growth in
Q4. Furthermore, our expanding product range and customer base have been
instrumental in fuelling underlying growth.

The divestment of the Biotec BetaGlucans subsidiary was successfully closed and
pathed new directions for both Biotec BetaGlucans and ArcticZymes. This
transaction thereby allows ArcticZymes Technologies to focus exclusively on the
profitable enzyme business and enables additional investments in new
infrastructure and personnel both of which will be key to drive innovation and
to expand our existing product portfolio."
