Valneva: Valneva, a specialty vaccine company, today announced that Health Canada has completed screening validation of the Company’s regulatory application for marketing approval of its single-shot chikungunya vaccine candidate VLA1553 in persons aged 18 years and above, and has determined that the New Drug Submission (NDS) application is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review. Based on Health Canada’s performance standard to process an NDS application, the Company believes the regulatory review could be completed by mid-2024. This is the second regulatory application for VLA1553 filed by Valneva, and the Company intends to make additional regulatory submissions in 2023.

Porr: In the first half of 2023, construction group Porr generated revenue of EUR 2,891.1m, 11.4% more than in the same period of 2022. On the cost side, purchased services in particular recorded a significant increase. The company increased its EBITDA by 8.7% to EUR 136.7m. EBT rose by 24.6% to EUR 27.5m, resulting in an EBT margin of 0.9% in relation to production output (HY/2022: 0.8%). The order backlog also increased (+11.7% compared to the first half of 2022) and approached the EUR 9 bn mark for the first time. PORR achieved production output of EUR 3,017m – an increase of 9.1% year on year. Growth was particularly strong in the permanent business in Poland and Romania: Here, production output for each market rose by over 40%. The railway construction segment in Austria also showed pleasing increases. PORR’s focus is on its seven European home markets, where it generated 96.9% of its production output.

Pierer Mobility: In the first half of 2023, the Pierer Mobility Group increased the group revenue by 20.2 % to a new record value of € 1,387.6 million (previous year: € 1,154.1 million), with the motorcycle segment (+19 %) and also the bicycle segment (+37 %) realising significant sales increases. Group-wide, about 59 % of the turnover was generated in Europe, 28 % in North America incl. Mexico and 13 % in the rest of the world. The operating result (EBIT) of € 96.9 million in the first half of 2023 is above the previous year's figure of € 92.8 million. The very strong operating result performance in the motorcycle segment (+16.6%) compensates for the negative deviation in the bicycle segment. The tight inventory situation at bicycle dealers increasingly led to discounts, which had a negative impact on the group EBIT. The bicycle market as a whole is characterized by major changes. The consolidation that has already begun and is expected will have profound effects on the entire bicycle industry.
Pierer Mobility: weekly performance: -1.55%
