Evotec Receives Grants to Advance Tuberculosis TreatmentApril 30, 2026 3:20 AM
ACCESS NewswireGrants support discovery and development of novel drug candidates and evaluation and prioritization of advanced drug regimens for clinical testingNew funding from the Gates Foundation extends Evotec's commitment to create more effective tuberculosis treatment regimens HAMBURG, GERMANY / ACCESS Newswire / April 30, 2026 / Evotec SE (NASDAQ:EVO)(Frankfurt Prime Standard:EVT) today announced that it has received two grants from the Gates Foundation for drug discovery and translation in tuberculosis (TB), following four earlier TB grants from the foundation, amounting to $4.9 million over 25 months and $5 million over 24 months. The new funding underscores Evotec's commitment to translating innovative science into impactful therapies addressing high-priority public health threats.The grant programs will expand the pipeline of novel TB drug candidates and advance the most promising combinations toward clinical evaluation, reducing development risk and accelerating progress toward a universal, shorter, safer and simpler TB drug regimen.Although most TB patients can be cured with existing antibiotics, treatments are long, complex and difficult to complete, especially for drug-resistant forms of the disease leading to treatment failures. The new grants will enable Evotec to apply its state-of-the-art translational platforms, including AI-enabled drug discovery and translational evaluation, to discover and prioritize novel therapies that address these critical challenges.The first grant supports Evotec's discovery efforts to advance a portfolio of novel small molecules with the potential to treat all TB patients. By combining its advanced AI-enabled drug discovery platform with deep TB drug discovery expertise, Evotec aims to accelerate time to candidate selection and increase the likelihood of success, ultimately contributing to the development of improved treatment options.The second grant enables the nonclinical characterization of next-generation TB drug combinations proposed for late-stage clinical trials, including those with potential for delivery as Long Acting Injectables. Long Acting Injectables represent a potentially transformative innovation in TB therapy. Using its cutting-edge translational platforms, Evotec will generate data on pharmacokinetics, efficacy and resistance potential to inform optimal development pathways and de-risk progression to clinical testing.Dr. Cord Dohrmann, Chief Scientific Officer of Evotec, said:"We are grateful for the foundation's continued support. Effective TB drug development requires both a robust pipeline of novel candidates and rigorous translational evaluation to identify the combinations most likely to succeed in the clinic. These grants empower us to leverage our integrated AI-driven discovery and translational platforms to identify and advance the most promising candidates and combinations."About TuberculosisTuberculosis (TB) is an airborne infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria that primarily affects the lungs but can also impact other organs. Although curable with appropriate antibiotic regimens, the disease continues to impose a substantial global health burden, with an estimated 10.7 million new cases and 1.23 million deaths in 2024. Persistent challenges such as drug resistance and complex, burdensome treatment regimens highlight the need for improved diagnostics, shorter and safer therapies, and sustained investment in innovation.Evotec has a strong presence in TB drug discovery and translational science and is an active participant in leading global collaborations across the philanthropic, non-profit and private sectors, including the TB Drug Accelerator (TBDA), ERA4TB, and the PAN-TB collaboration. Through these partnerships, Evotec contributes to the accelerated discovery and development of novel TB drugs and treatment regimens aimed at improving outcomes for patients worldwide.About Evotec SEEvotec is a life science company that is pioneering the future of drug discovery and development.

Evotec Receives $10 M Milestone from Bristol Myers Squibb Protein Degradation Collaboration for Clinical Study InitiationMarch 19, 2026 2:50 AM
ACCESS NewswireDosing of first patient initiates Phase 1 clinical evaluation of BMS-986506 for the treatment of advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma, the most common form of kidney cancerTransformative moment in strategic protein degradation collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) aiming to establish new treatment paradigm in advanced clear cell renal cell carcinomaStudy start highlights transition into the clinic for Evotec-BMS oncology platform and reflects robust pipeline of ‘molecular glues' being advanced as treatment options for different cancer typesValidates Evotec's high-performance multi-omics screening and AI-supported data analytics and drug design capabilities HAMBURG, DE / ACCESS Newswire / March 19, 2026 / Evotec SE (NASDAQ:EVO)(Frankfurt Prime Standard:EVT) today announced that its partner Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) has initiated a Phase 1 clinical study evaluating CELMoD agent BMS-986506, a cereblon E3 ligase modulator, in clear cell renal cell carcinoma, the most common form of kidney cancer.Initiation of the first-in-human study represents a significant advancement in the strategic protein degradation collaboration, bringing into the clinic a novel CELMoD or ‘molecular glue' candidate jointly generated through Evotec's powerful and fully integrated drug discovery platform. This platform combines high-performance multi-omics screening with AI-enabled data analytics and drug design capabilities, selectively prompting cancer cells to eliminate disease-driving proteins. As a result of this clinical progression, Evotec will receive a milestone payment of $10 million.Dr. Cord Dohrmann, Chief Scientific Officer of Evotec said:"In this unique collaboration, we follow a systematic approach to discovering molecular glues with tremendous therapeutic potential. Together with Bristol Myers Squibb, and building on Evotec's PanOmics and PanHunter platforms, we have identified a broad portfolio of high-potential molecular glue drug candidates that are now beginning to enter clinical development. The initiation of this Phase 1 clinical trial marks the first clinical milestone in the strategic protein degradation partnership with BMS. Molecular glues have the potential to address significant unmet medical need not only in oncology, but far beyond, by targeting previously undruggable, disease-causing proteins and thereby aiming to reshape future standards of care."BMS-986506 was developed under the strategic protein degradation partnership between Evotec and Bristol Myers Squibb. The collaboration combines PanOmics, Evotec's high-performance multi-omics screening platform as well as PanHunter, Evotec's AI-supported data omics analytics platform with BMS's industry-leading library of CELMoDs™ agents. Initiated in 2018 and expanded in 2022, the collaboration is continuing to deliver on its goal to identify novel molecular glue degraders for high-value targets in the field of oncology and beyond.About Molecular Glue DegradersConventional small molecule therapeutics work via a drug-induced interference with a protein activity. This limitation to agonistic or antagonistic functions renders about 90% of proteins "undruggable". Conventional small molecules only work while they are actively binding to the receptor, which typically requires a treatment regimen consisting of one or even several carefully dosed medications every day.Molecular glue degraders are compounds that induce interactions between an E3 ubiquitin ligase and a molecular target. The induced interaction results in ubiquitination and degradation of the recruited protein. This event-driven mechanism of action significantly expands the range of the druggable proteome. The molecular glue is not degraded in the process and can trigger the degradation process many times over, thus leading to longer-lasting therapeutic effects.About Evotec's Strategic Collaboration with Bristol Myers Squibb in Molecular GluesIn 2018, Evotec entered a long-term strategic drug discovery and development collaboration in the field of molecular glues with Celgene, now Bristol Myers Squibb. BMS is a leader in this field based on its unique library of CELMoDs™ agents. The collaboration aims to discover and develop a leading pipeline of molecular glue degraders for a range of therapeutic indications leveraging all of Evotec's proprietary PanOmics and PanHunter platforms as well as AI/ML-based drug discovery and development capabilities.Evotec applies high-end proteomics and transcriptomics at industrial scale to profile and select promising drug candidates based on comprehensive cell biological profiles. Evotec's leading PanOmics screening capabilities are delivering unmatched throughput. The selection of the most promising candidates for drug development is facilitated by Evotec's PanOmics data analysis platform PanHunter. It supports the integration and analysis of these data sets and thereby enables the selection of the most promising CELMoDs™ for further progression into lead optimization.About Evotec SEEvotec is a life science company that is pioneering the future of drug discovery and development.

Evotec jumps 8% after Berenberg starts coverage with “buy” on partner upsideFebruary 3, 2026 11:18 AM
IH Market News
Shares in Evotec SE (NASDAQ:EVO) climbed 8% after Berenberg initiated coverage of the German biotech group with a buy recommendation, arguing that the market is undervaluing the company’s strategic partnerships and core discovery platform.Berenberg assigned a €10 price target, well above Evotec’s previous close of €5.90 on Xetra.According to the brokerage, Evotec’s share-price weakness reflects cyclical pressures in biotech financing and short-term execution challenges rather than any fundamental deterioration in the business. Berenberg said recent investor concerns have incorrectly treated these headwinds as structural.Evotec operates as a contract research organization, offering drug discovery, preclinical development and biologics manufacturing services to pharmaceutical companies, biotech groups and academic partners. The company generated €781 million in revenue in 2023 and recorded negative EBITDA of €41 million that year, based on figures cited by Berenberg.The bank said its initiation is grounded in the belief that the biotech funding slowdown that weighed on Evotec in 2024 and 2025 has been misinterpreted by the market. Funding levels have now stabilized around pre-pandemic norms, which historically supported consistent demand for outsourced research services.“Evotec sits at the intersection of rising R&D outsourcing demand and a growing need for capital-efficient drug discovery innovation,” analyst Christian Ehmann wrote. He added that the company’s capabilities and long-term agreements “remain intact” despite near-term softness in early-stage discovery activity.A key pillar of Berenberg’s investment thesis is Evotec’s collaboration with Sandoz, which includes development work on 10 biosimilars using Evotec’s biologics platform. In July 2025, Evotec agreed to transfer its Toulouse biologics site, J.POD 2, to Sandoz, moving the partnership toward an asset-light model featuring upfront payments, development fees, milestones and royalties.Berenberg said the revised structure strengthens Evotec’s liquidity position and lowers execution risk, while still allowing the company to participate in the long-term upside of Sandoz’s biosimilar pipeline. The brokerage expects Evotec to earn low-single-digit royalties on net sales once products reach the market, alongside development and milestone payments between 2026 and 2030.Ehmann noted that the new structure accelerates cash inflows and eliminates a loss-making ramp-up phase, marking a return to Evotec’s traditional capital-light operating approach.The bank also highlighted Evotec’s exposure to large pharmaceutical customers under long-term contracts, including Bristol Myers Squibb and Janssen, as a stabilizing influence. Berenberg said this client mix, together with cost reductions and management changes introduced in 2024 and 2025, should gradually improve earnings quality.Evotec reported an EBITDA margin of -5.2% in 2024, which Berenberg expects to turn positive in 2025 and improve to 10.3% in 2026. Revenue is forecast to decline to €751 million in 2026 from €797 million in 2024, before rebounding to €817 million in 2027.At current valuation levels, Berenberg argued that the market assigns little value to Evotec’s biologics capabilities and long-duration partnerships. “The downside is increasingly reflected in the share price,” Ehmann said, adding that a normalization in demand and better earnings visibility could be enough to trigger a re-rating.Evotec stock price
