Alvotech secures USD 75m term loan to fund FDA resubmissions and global launches

Iceland-based Alvotech (Nasdaq: ALVO) announced a USD 75 million term loan facility on July 1, 2026, adding non-dilutive debt capital to fund R&D pipeline advancement and global product launches at a point when the company is managing multiple pending FDA resubmissions and an active multi-market commercial rollout. Combined with a USD 165 million equity raise completed on June 18, 2026, the transaction brings total new capital secured to USD 240 million.

The facility amends Alvotech's existing credit agreement with funds managed by GoldenTree Asset Management LP and other existing lenders, adding a USD 75 million tranche alongside the USD 100 million term loan GoldenTree led in December 2025. The new tranche carries a 12.5% fixed interest rate payable monthly in cash and matures December 31, 2027. The facility is currently undrawn, preserving full optionality on deployment timing.

Alvotech has five biosimilars approved and commercially active across multiple markets — referencing adalimumab (Humira), ustekinumab (Stelara), golimumab (Simponi), aflibercept (Eylea), and denosumab (Prolia/Xgeva) — and reported full-year 2025 revenues of USD 593 million, up 21% year-over-year, with management guiding for USD 650–700 million in 2026. The company carries approximately USD 1.1 billion in total debt. The new capital is intended to support operating execution while the company works through FDA Biologics License Application resubmissions and expands its commercial footprint in Europe, Japan, and the US.

The company's development pipeline includes nine disclosed biosimilar candidates targeting autoimmune disorders, eye disorders, osteoporosis, respiratory disease, and cancer, with approximately 30 programs in total under development. Near-term regulatory catalysts include pending BLA resubmissions to the FDA — management indicated in Q1 2026 results that resubmissions were targeted for Q2 2026 — and the FDA has accepted a BLA for AVT16, a proposed biosimilar to vedolizumab (Entyvio). A Marketing Authorization Application for AVT16 and AVT80 was also submitted to the European Medicines Agency post-Q1 2026. In June 2025, Alvotech entered a co-development and commercialization agreement with Dr. Reddy's Laboratories for a pembrolizumab (Keytruda) biosimilar, with milestones of up to EUR 160 million, adding a high-value oncology asset to the pipeline.
