What BIOMM does
Biomm S.A. (B3: BIOM3) is a 100% Brazilian, publicly traded biotechnology company that develops, manufactures, and commercializes biomedicines for chronic diseases, with a focus on diabetes, oncology, ophthalmology, and thromboembolism. The company was created in 2001 as a spin-off of Biobrás (which was acquired by Novo Nordisk), inheriting recombinant human insulin production know-how, the original research team, and a USPTO-granted recombinant insulin patent from 2000. Biomm operates a US$90 million biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Nova Lima, Minas Gerais, with 20 million vials/year of insulin and analogue capacity, validated for vaccine and biologic production. The company operates a portfolio of ANVISA-approved products including Glargilin (insulin glargine — first nationally produced in Brazil), Wosulin N/R (human insulin), Afrezza (inhaled insulin), Herzuma (trastuzumab, now 100% commercialized by Celltrion since January 2025), Bevyx (bevacizumab), Ghemaxan (enoxaparin, approved in 22 countries), and Ranivisio (ranibizumab biosimilar, ANVISA-approved May 2025, launched April 2026).
The company's revenue model is bimodal. In the public market, Biomm supplies the SUS (Brazil's Unified Health System) through Productive Development Partnerships (PDPs) with Fiocruz/Bio-Manguinhos and Fundação Ezequiel Dias (Funed), distributing Wosulin and insulin glargine. In the private market, Biomm distributes through national pharmacy chains and distributors, anchored by Glargilin sales. The go-to-market relies on a direct sales representative field force, an SAC call center (0800-0572466), and digital channels (Scientific Portal, YouTube, Spotify podcasts). Exclusive licensing partnerships with Gan & Lee (China), Bioton (Poland), MannKind (USA), Celltrion (South Korea), Bioeq (Switzerland), and CanSino (China) provide Biomm access to originator biologic IP for Brazilian commercialization, with potential to manufacture locally.
Biomm reported Q1 2026 net revenue of R$92.5 million (134% YoY growth from R$39.5M in Q1 2025), a net profit of R$9.7 million (reversing a R$11.7M loss), and EBITDA of R$12.4 million (reversing negative R$10.7M). Management has established a 2026 EBITDA target of R$90–100 million. Major shareholders include Alaska Investimentos (26.15%), BTGP Gestão (12.20%), SAMOS/WMG (8.24%), TMG/IBR (7.25%), BNDESPAR (5.12%), and Grupo Ítalo (5.10%). The company has raised R$459.6 million across five capital increases from 2021 to 2025.

Revenue model
- Biomedicines Importation and Commercialization: Revenue primarily from importing and commercializing biotechnological medicines. Currently driven by insulin sales — Wosulin (human insulin) for the public market and Glargilin (insulin glargine) for the private market. Growth from 134% revenue increase in Q1 2026 to R$92.5M net revenue. Company is transitioning from import-only to national production.
- Licensed Product Partnerships: Biomm commercializes products under exclusive licensing agreements with international partners: Gan & Lee (China) and Bioton (Poland) for diabetes; MannKind Corp (USA) for Afrezza inhalable insulin; Celltrion Healthcare (South Korea) for oncology (Herzuma trastuzumab, Bevyx bevacizumab); CanSino Biologics (China) for Convidecia vaccine. Revenue model is commercializing licensed biologics in Brazil, with potential for local production under the same agreements.
