The Novo Nordisk Group 1994
    Income before tax was DKK 1,932 million, an increase of 4%
compared with 1993.  Net income was DKK 1,432 million, level with
that of 1993.  Return on stockholders' equity was 11.4%.
    Consolidated sales rose to DKK 13,524 million in 1994 from DKK
12,163 million in 1993, an increase of 11%.  Sales of Health Care
Business and of Enzyme Business increased by 12% and 8%,
respectively, compared with 1993.  For other businesses, sales were
11% higher in 1994 than in 1993.
    The increase in consolidated sales was almost exclusively
attributable to larger volumes sold and product mix improvements.
The weighted average value of Novo Nordisk's invoicing currencies in
1994 was 0.25% higher than the comparable average in 1993.
    As previously announced, in 1994 the company changed its method
for valuation of inventories by including direct labour costs.
Formerly, only direct materials and energy were included.  This
change, which is in conformity with Danish Accounting Guidelines No
8, has increased operating income by DKK 77 million and net income by
DKK 51 million.  The comparative figures for 1993 and earlier years
have not been conformed, because the net effect on each year is
considered insignificant.
    In addition, the company has changed the classification of costs
and expenses in the net income statement from type of expense to
function (see Appendix 1) to facilitate comparison with other
companies.
    "Production costs"  (cost of materials and direct labour)
increased by 8%, resulting in a slight increase in the contribution
margin in relation to 1993.  However, if direct labour had not been
included in the valuation of inventories, the increase would have
been 11%.
    Total capacity costs including "production overheads"  increased
by just under 15% from DKK 7,980 million in 1993 to DKK 9,138 million
in 1994.  Excluding "restructuring and other exceptional charges
(net)"  as mentioned below, the increase was less than 13%.
    Production overheads rose by 19% over 1993.  The considerable
growth is due to a significant staff increase necessitated by the
growing demand, running-in of several new production plants, and
costs directly or indirectly resulting from quality assurance
activities.  Finally, depreciation within the production area rose by
30% to DKK 584 million.
    Despite continued expansion of the international sales
organisation, "sales and distribution costs"  only increased by 8%.
This mainly reflects the fact that Novo Nordisk has replaced
marketing agreements with independent agents and distributors by
in-house sales organisations in several countries.
    "Research and development expenditure"  rose by 14% in 1994 to
DKK 1,896 million, corresponding to 14% of net turnover, from DKK
1,669 million in 1993.
    "Administrative expenses"  increased by 17% over 1993.  In 1994
these expenses were significantly affected by increased provisions
for debt relating to customers in countries subject to special
economic and political risks.  In contrast, these provisions fell in
1993.  Adjusted for the above provisions, the cost increase was 7%.
    Total employee costs rose by 14% to DKK 4,549 million in 1994
from DKK 3,981 million in 1993, due primarily to a 10% increase in
the number of employees.  At the end of 1994 the total number of
employees was 12,847.  The staff increases occurred mainly within
production and quality assurance, as well as in the international
sales organisation.
    Depreciation in 1994 totalled DKK 1,055 million, an increase of
32% over 1993.  The significant increase reflects initiation of
depreciation on a number of newly completed facilities and production
plants.
    In 1994 Novo Nordisk took a number of steps to implement a more
focused business strategy and to create a more efficient
organisational structure.  As a result, the cost development was
affected by restructuring and other special events; hence Novo
Nordisk has elected to present these incomes and costs in the annual
accounts under a separate caption, "restructuring and other
exceptional charges", which amounted to DKK 134 million.  The item
comprises:
    - Divestiture of the bulk antibiotics business, termination of
certain product lines, and rationalisation of the sale and
distribution network.
    - Provision of DKK 84 million to meet expected relocation costs,
severance pay, and depreciation on property relating to the merger of
two US companies in 1995.
    - Substantial one-time costs incurred in connection with certain
legal matters in the US and increasingly stringent quality assurance
and documentation requirements of the US health authorities (FDA).
    "Other operating income"  rose from DKK 227 million in 1993 to
DKK 342 million in 1994, an increase of 51%.  The predominant factor
behind this growth was the development in licence fees which grew by
DKK 141 million to DKK 277 million.  Of total licence fees
approximately two thirds came from SeroxatR/PaxilR.
    Net financial costs were DKK 118 million compared with DKK 71
million in 1993.
    Income taxes for 1994 have been provided at DKK 500 million,
corresponding to 25.9% of income before tax.  The increase in the
effective tax rate is due among other things to lower than expected
capital expenditure for fixed assets in 1994.
    The cash flow improved significantly in 1994 compared with 1993,
mainly as a result of the lower level of capital expenditure.  The
net cash flow was DKK (85) million compared with DKK (1,021) million
in 1993.
    Stockholders' equity rose to DKK 13,136 million at the end of
1994 from DKK 11,914 million at the beginning of 1994.  The increase
in stockholders' equity contains the inclusion of direct labour costs
in inventories as of 1 January 1994 at the amount of DKK 224 million.
Stockholders' equity accounted for approximately 62% of total assets
at year-end 1994.


Outlook for 1995
    For 1995, Novo Nordisk expects its operations to develop
favourably, envisaging continued sales growth of its core products in
key geographic markets.
    For 1995, Novo Nordisk expects a sales increase of up to 10%.
These expectations assume that exchange rates of Novo Nordisk's
invoicing currencies stabilise at the average level of the initial
months of the year, and that no significant new governmental measures
to reduce the price of pharmaceutical products are introduced.
    Owing to ongoing investment projects, Novo Nordisk expects a net
interest expense in 1995 versus a net interest income in 1994.
Developments in gains and losses on foreign currency and on Novo
Nordisk's portfolio of marketable securities will chiefly depend on
developments in the international currency and securities markets.
    On this background Novo Nordisk expects an increase in income
before tax at the level of the sales increase.  Earnings in 1995
could be affected by non-recurring income or costs resulting from
implementation of the newly published corporate strategy.
    In accordance with current Danish and international tax rules,
Novo Nordisk's effective tax rate is expected to increase gradually
towards 30% over the next years.  For 1995 the effective tax rate is
expected to be at the level of 25-27%.  If the proposed bill on
international taxation, L35, is passed by the Danish Folketing
(Parliament) in its present form, the consequences will be increased
taxes for the company.
    Capital expenditure for property, plant and equipment in 1995 is
expected to be at the level of DKK 2 billion.


1994
Health Care Business (HCB)
    Total HCB sales increased from DKK 8,225 million in 1993 to DKK
9,236 million in 1994.  The 12% sales growth reflects changes in
volume/product mix, while overall developments in prices and currency
exchange rates only contributed modestly to the positive development.
Sales of Diabetes Care products rose by 9% to DKK 6,499 million from
1993 to 1994.  The progress is mainly attributable to a better
product mix and increasing market shares in several markets, notably
Japan and Germany.  In contrast, market shares declined in the US,
due primarily to a difficult supply situation in 1994.  Diabetes
Care's contribution to HCB's total turnover amounted to 70% in 1994
against 72% in 1993.
    Sales of HRT (hormone replacement therapy) products rose by 21%
to DKK 671 million in 1994 due to larger volumes sold in a number of
markets, notably Germany and the Nordic countries.
    Sales of hGH (human growth hormone - NorditropinR) increased by
16% to DKK 1,337 million in 1994.  The positive development is
attributable to larger volumes sold in a number of European markets
and in Japan.  As Japan is still by far the most important market,
the 6% increase in the value of JPY vis- -vis DKK also had a
significant positive effect.
    Sales of other Health Care products increased by 30% to DKK 729
million in 1994.  A major reason for the progress was the fact that
sales of SeroxatR in the Nordic countries more than doubled.


Enzyme Business (EB)
    EB sales increased by 8%, from DKK 3,202 million in 1993 to DKK
3,472 million in 1994, due solely to volume/product mix changes.  The
overall price development was negative, and currency developments
were marginally unfavourable to EB in 1994.
    The sales growth was unevenly split on EB's two core product
areas: enzymes for the detergent industry and enzymes for the process
industries.
    Detergent enzymes recorded a limited sales increase.  The reason
was falling prices particularly of proteases, combined with the fact
that the launch of new enzyme- containing laundry and dishwashing
detergents by some of EB's customers occurred later than expected.
    The relative increase in sales of enzymes for the process
industries was somewhat bigger than EB's total sales growth.  This is
primarily due to volume/mix improvements for a number of industries,
notably the textile, animal feed and baking industries.  The dairy
industry was the only major industry segment that recorded a decline
compared with 1993.


Other businesses
    For other businesses as a whole, sales increased by 11% to DKK
816 million in 1994.  Other businesses comprise mainly Ferrosan,
Plant Protection and the bulk antibiotics business.
    Ferrosan's sales rose by approximately 15%, due primarily to
sales of products taken over as part of a company acquisition in
April 1993.  Ferrosan's sales account for approximately 75% of the
total sales of other businesses.
    Sales of biological plant protection agents increased by
approximately 50%, due among other things to sales for forestry pest
management programmes in Poland.
    As a result of reduced production during the running-in period of
the new plant in Anagni, Italy, sales of bulk antibiotics decreased
significantly compared with 1993.  The bulk antibiotics business was
divested with effect from year-end 1994, but will continue in a
transition period until 1 July 1996 to produce bulk antibiotics for
the buyer of the business under a toll manufacturing agreement.


Net financials
    Net financials encompass pre-tax income of investments in
associated and other companies, net interest income and expenses,
gains and losses on marketable securities, foreign exchange gains and
losses on accounts receivable and payable and bank deposits etc
denominated in foreign currency, and other financial income and
expenses.  In 1994, Novo Nordisk had net financial costs of DKK 118
million compared with net financial costs of DKK 71 million in 1993.
Net interest income decreased from DKK 52 million in 1993 to DKK 26
million in 1994.  This includes approximately DKK 20 million from
interest allowance on company tax overpayment in previous years.  The
total net loss on marketable securities in 1994 amounted to DKK 153
million, a result that is largely a consequence of negative
developments in the Danish bond market in 1994.  In 1993 net gains on
marketable securities amounted to DKK 109 million.  Novo Nordisk's
bond portfolio at the end of 1994 had an adjusted duration of 2.6
years.
    Novo Nordisk posted a net foreign exchange gain in 1994 of DKK 88
million on amounts receivable and payable and bank deposits etc
denominated in foreign currency, compared with a net foreign exchange
loss of DKK 160 million in 1993.  The gain was primarily due to the
relatively low levels of several currencies, including USD and JPY,
compared with the forward rates at the beginning of the year.


Capital expenditure
    Following completion of several large projects in 1992 and 1993,
Novo Nordisk's capital expenditure for property, plant and equipment
decreased from DKK 2,392 million in 1993 to DKK 1,738 million in
1994.  A contributing factor behind the lower level of capital
expenditure was the postponement of certain projects due to increased
focus on quality assurance.
    Approximately 75% of the capital expenditure was related to
projects in Denmark.  Many of the projects aim to expand production
capacity, necessitated by the sales growth.  Major ongoing projects
in Denmark include completion of a plant in Hillerod for the
manufacture of NovoLetR and a plant in M lov for the production of
HRT products.  Major investments were also made in new enzyme
purification capacity at the Kalundborg plant.
    Major ongoing projects outside Denmark include second phase of
the enzyme production facility in Franklinton, North Carolina, US.
Furthermore, planning and design of the enzyme production plant in
Tianjin, China, has been initiated.  A new research centre for
ZymoGenetics in Seattle, US, was completed.
    Capital expenditure for intangible and financial assets totalled
DKK 169 million.  This included among other things the purchase of an
equity interest in the Scotland-based company PPL Therapeutics plc.


Holding of own B shares
    As of 31 December 1994, Novo Nordisk's holding of its own shares
(treasury shares) was 295,950 B shares, unchanged from 31 December
1993.


Proposals for the AGM of Novo Nordisk A/S
    The dividend has remained unchanged at DKK 4 per share since
1983.  The Board of Directors will propose to the shareholders that
the dividend for 1994 be increased to DKK 5 per share of DKK 20
nominal value (DKK 1.25 per ADS).  No further changes of the dividend
rate are to be expected in the next few years.
    At the Annual General Meeting on 25 April 1995, the Board of
Directors will further propose renewed authorisation for the company,
in the period until the next AGM, to purchase own shares, up to 10%
of the share capital, at a price deviating up to 10% from the
prevailing market price at the time of purchase.
