Message from the CEO
"We continue to win new customers, and our order intake is significantly higher than our sales for the period, giving us a strong starting position for the coming quarters. Given that several orders were received late in June, sales came in at SEK 13.5 million. Adjusted for foreign exchange effects, this is on par with the previous year's SEK 14.7 million. We were impacted by ongoing global uncertainty, resulting in slightly lower sales per customer. However, we achieved high internal efficiency with a lower cost base, which contributed to improved cash flow. At the same time, we have significantly improved our market position. According to plan, GARD®skin was incorporated into OECD Test Guideline No. 497, marking an expanded approval that is expected to drive significantly stronger demand for the test in the coming years. We also broadened our test portfolio and took a key step forward for GARD® in the medical device industry. Overall, we are entering the second half of the year with a significantly stronger order book and costs under control. With the expanded regulatory approval for GARD® we are in a strong position to drive growth and deliver improved margins. Building on this progress and a strong starting position for the coming quarters, I look forward to an exciting rest of 2025!
Peter Nählstedt, President and CEO
