Vistin Pharma ASA ( (DE:VP4) ) just unveiled an update.

Vistin Pharma reported first-quarter 2026 revenue of NOK 112 million and EBITDA of NOK 27 million, with sales and earnings slightly above last year when adjusted for currency. Sales volumes rose 9% to 1,520 metric tons, but stronger NOK and lower global metformin prices weighed on topline growth, while net profit was stable at NOK 21.5 million and net cash stood at NOK 6 million.

Management highlighted that the company is currently shielded from potential supply chain issues stemming from the Middle East Hormuz situation due to earlier stockpiling of critical inputs. The board has proposed an ordinary dividend of up to NOK 1.50 per share, to be paid in two tranches, signalling confidence in cash generation and offering an attractive payout to shareholders despite expected increases in freight and raw material costs that could lift metformin prices globally.
