[{"type":"text","content":"HORSHOLM, DENMARK / ACCESS Newswire / August 20, 2025 / Revenue and earnings for Gubra Group (CPH:GUBRA) have been record-high in the second quarter of 2025 driven by the outlicensing deal with AbbVie in our Discovery & Partnerships business. While the CRO business also experienced revenue growth in the second quarter of 12% year-over-year, the full-year outlook for CRO revenue in 2025 has been revised to be slightly below CRO revenue level in 2024 (previous outlook 10-20% revenue growth). Outlook for EBIT-margin in the CRO business has been revised to around 20% (previously 25-31%).","length":594,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Our CRO business has grown very significantly over the last two years where revenue has by far outpaced our mid-term annual growth guidance of 10%. In 2025, we have experienced a decline in revenue from the US driven by macroeconomic uncertainty encompassing a difficult funding environment for some of our customers. This has translated into longer decision timelines. The development in Europe is on the contrary sound. As a result of the slowdown we experience in the US, we have adjusted our full-year 2025 outlook for CRO revenue to be slightly below the CRO revenue level in 2024 (previous outlook 10-20% revenue growth). EBIT-margin outlook for full-year 2025 for the CRO business has been adjusted to be around 20% (previously 25-31%).","length":743,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Outlook for 2025","length":16,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"table","headerItems":[],"items":[{"val":[{"colspan":"1","rowspan":"1","style":"border:1px solid #DDDDDD;padding:3px 6px;","val":[{"type":"text","content":"Key ratio","length":9,"tagName":"p"}]},{"colspan":"1","rowspan":"1","style":"border:1px solid #DDDDDD;padding:3px 6px;","val":[{"type":"text","content":"New outlook for 2025","length":20,"tagName":"p"}]},{"colspan":"1","rowspan":"1","style":"border:1px solid #DDDDDD;padding:3px 6px;","val":[{"type":"text","content":"Previous outlook for 2025*","length":26,"tagName":"p"}]}]},{"val":[{"colspan":"1","rowspan":"1","style":"border:1px solid #DDDDDD;padding:3px 6px;","val":[{"type":"text","content":"CRO Segment","length":11,"tagName":"p"}]},{"colspan":"1","rowspan":"1","style":"border:1px solid #DDDDDD;padding:3px 6px;","val":[]},{"colspan":"1","rowspan":"1","style":"border:1px solid #DDDDDD;padding:3px 6px;"...
