Navamedic on track to significant growth

Navamedic ASA (OSE: NAVA), the Norwegian pharmaceutical products company, today
announced its first quarter 2011 results. Sales were record high for the second
quarter running and Navamedic is on track towards additional growth in 2012
based on its new Generics pharmaceuticals business area.

Navamedics' sales were NOK 16.8 million in the first quarter, which is a 28 per
cent growth over last year's first quarter sales. All sales are generated by the
Vitaflo business area, a distributor of patented drugs and healthcare products
in the Nordic and Benelux markets.

Navamedic is currently ramping up its new Generics business area, targeting the
first product launch later this year. Navamedic has so far filed for marketing
license for a total of ten generic pharmaceutical products. The build-up of the
new business area represented costs and investments totalling NOK 3.5 million in
the first quarter.

EBITDA for Navamedic in the first quarter was heavily influenced by the generics
business costs, partly offset by a positive results development in the Vitaflo
business. Navamedic's EBITDA for the quarter came in at NOK -1.0 million,
compared to NOK -1.2 million in the first quarter last year.

"The first quarter results demonstrate the continued positive development in our
Vitaflo business area and that we are on track in building the highly attractive
Generics business area," said Navamedic CEO Olof Milveden.

The Vitaflo business is expected to grow by approximately 20 per cent per year
going forward. The Generics business area forecast an extremely strong growth
from 2012 onwards. The company targets sales of more than NOK 300 million at
attractive margins for this business area in 2015, making Navamedic on of the
top five generic pharmaceutical companies in its defined markets.
