Specialty Pharmaceuticals & Contract Manufacturing

Strategic Profile

Rovi's flagship product Bemiparin is present in 89 countries, and the company markets an enoxaparin biosimilar developed in-house across 38 countries. Rovi continues to develop the ISM® Platform technology, a leading-edge line of research in the field of prolonged drug release with proven advantages. The company leverages vertical integration, proprietary manufacturing capabilities, and international expansion to compete in competitive specialty pharma and contract manufacturing markets.

Cyborg Score Rationale

In 2024, revenue declined 7.93% to €763.75M and earnings fell 19.64% to €136.88M. Positive interest cover and low net debt to EBITDA of 0.40 support financial stability, with EBIT covering interest expense 69.7 times over. However, profitability headwinds and cash conversion challenges offset these strengths.

Top Insights

  • In Q1 2025, the company obtained positive results in two phase one trials, enabling progress towards phase III clinical trials for ISM platform formulations.
