LATEST RESULTS • OVERVIEW AND STRATEGY • MARKET OVERVIEW • SUSTAINABILITY • FINANCIALS AND GOVERNANCE
Solid sales growth in Q4 taking 2016 to 2% growth
• This was driven by a strong contribution in Asia from new
product launches in the liquid segment and good
underlying market growth. North America grew as
consumers traded up
• Latin America declined, while Europe grew slightly
• Our dishwash segment grew strongly due to increased
penetration. We also benefited from new innovation and
market share gains. Laundry growth was more modest

Technical & Pharma did well in 2016, while Q4 was down
• Good uptake of our Pharma enzymes and albumin. We also
saw increased royalties from GSK’s sale of Tanzeum®
• In sales to the Technical industries, textiles and wastewater
treatment performed satisfactorily, while leather ended the
year slightly positive
• Q4 ended down due to lumpiness in Pharma. Technical
ended slightly positive for the quarter supported by
continued growth in textile and wastewater treatment

plus customer-specific upgrades in biomass conversion
• Working with customers to improve plant efficiency through
digitalization and technical support
Q4 up 7% as both conventional and biomass contributed
• Strong performance in conventional biofuels, mainly from
outside the US
• Sales for biomass closed Q4 strongly, as production of
ethanol from biomass conversion becomes more stable

2016 showed solid performance of enzymes for Animal Feed
• Animal feed enzyme grew steadily across main markets,
plus good traction in trialing of our probiotics
• Modest growth in BioAg sales for 2016, as farmers were
influenced by low crop prices leading to lower inoculant
sales. New sales pattern led to a very strong Q4
• Commercial launch of Acceleron® B-300 SAT for corn

In 2017, we see growth coming from emerging markets, Starch
and Food & Nutrition
• To support strong growth in the emerging markets, we are
adding sales resources and technical service facilities –
including a baking development lab in Turkey
• We are prioritizing our starch business to capture growth in
the global starch-refining business and by opening a new
growth platform in grain milling
• Food & Nutrition will return to growth as we recover in infant
nutrition
• Baking growth opportunities in emerging markets, but price
erosion expected in the North American freshkeeping market
Food & beverages
grew 2% in 2016.
Beverages and
Starch showed
strong growth;
Baking flat
Food & Beverages growth driven by emerging markets and
sales to the starch industry
• Strong growth in Asia Pacific, broadly across segments
with baking and starch in China as key drivers
• The Middle East and Africa delivered good results, driven
by brewing and starch
• Europe overall was flat, with solid growth in baking and
starch offset by lost market share in infant nutrition
• Americas contracted, with modest growth in starch
outweighed by a decline in baking

The strategy for Novozymes when looking to expand into
new areas is to assume either the technology risk
(developing unproved technology) or the market risk (entry
into new markets). If we see both a technology risk and a
market risk, but it looks like the right opportunity, we will
search for a partner who can help us unlock the potential.
This is how we bring our “Partnering for Impact” strategy to
life, by leveraging the competencies of others and at the
same time minimizing the risk to our business.

Growth drivers
• Favorable regulatory environment benefiting sustainable farming
• Pressure on available farmable land (more with less)
• Demand for more efficient animal feed solutions to increase production
• Global growth in protein consumption due to changes in dietary habits
• Governments in emerging economies focusing on Ag productivity
• Rise of precision agriculture validating yield improvements and enabling
tailoring of microbial solutions to farmers’ specific soil conditions
• Growing calls for reduced use of antibiotics in farm animals
• High input costs for farmers driving demand for yield-enhancing and
sustainable solutions
Growth barriers
• Customer skepticism and lack of understanding of biologicals
• Fragmented and complicated regulation in local markets
• Lack of scientific proof for biologicals and understanding of the potential
of biotechnology in agriculture and feed
• Low pricing of traditional fertilizers and pesticides competing with more
sustainable solutions
• Low commodity prices forcing farmers to cut back on seed treatments

Relevance of innovation cluster
The world needs sustainable efficiency gains in animal production
• 9+ billion people by 2050
• Protein demand to double next 40 years
• Feed costs in 50% of costs in animal production
• Arable land per capita expected to decrease by 35% from 2000 to 2050
• Antibiotic resistance and regulation are driving the need for
alternatives to antibiotics
Improving the yield in animal production would have significantly positive
impact in terms of global warming and use of agricultural land
3838
Approach and status
As part of our efforts to leverage biological solutions to enable efficiency
gains in animal products, we aim to leverage our capabilities to develop
additives for natural growth promotion
In 2015 we initiated a partnership with Adisseo with the shared ambition
to enter and develop the market for probiotics
In 2016 H1, Alterion® was released together with Adisseo which is a
probiotic for poultry, as the first product in our innovation cluster “Natural
growth promotion”.
Alterion® consistently improves the gut
health of poultry which yields a lower Feed
Conversion Ratio (FCR) and increase Body
Weight Gain (BWG).
Launched in Asia, the US and MEA in 2016.
Alterion will be rolled out in China in 2017

• The incentive program consists of 50% stock options and 50% stocks with the
opportunity to double annual remuneration. Awards will depend on
accumulated economic profit generated (75%) as well as average organic sales
growth (25%).
• Economic profit is defined as: NOPAT - (Avg. inv. capital * WACC)
• NOPAT is adjusted for hedging result to eliminate impact of currency
fluctuations as well as for any impacts from major acquisitions. A fixed WACC
of 6% will be used during the entire program
• Stock options will be awarded annually (3-year vesting period), stocks in 2020
(no vesting period). Maximum clause caps upside (max. cap = 2x intrinsic value
at establishment ex. inflation)

fluctuations
Split of Cost of Goods sold*
Raw materials consist primarily of different carbohydrates. Approximately
50% of raw material input are e.g., sucrose, maltose, glucose, starch.
Factors impacting COGS
• Productivity improvements,
input prices, currency
• Note: accounting practice
implies that there is a time
lag between current price
levels and COGS
Factors impacting
Novozymes’ input prices:
• Geographical location, e.g.,
differences in input
• Contractual agreements,
e.g., timing, duration
• Substitution possibilities,
i.e., flexibility in use of
different inputs, not
dependent upon one
source
• Price development on
other products produced

Forward Looking Statements
This presentation and its related comments contain forward-looking statements, including statements about future events, future financial performance, plans, strategies and expectations. Forward-looking
statements are associated with words such as, but not limited to, "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "project," "could," "may," "might" and other words of similar meaning.
Forward-looking statements are by their very nature associated with risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from expectations, both positively and negatively. The risks and
uncertainties may, among other things, include unexpected developments in i) the ability to develop and market new products; ii) the demand for Novozymes’ products, market-driven price decreases, industry
consolidation, and launches of competing products or disruptive technologies in Novozymes’ core areas; iii) the ability to protect and enforce the company’s intellectual property rights; iv) significant litigation or
