OptiCept Technologies AB (Publ.) announces that the Company is implementing additional savings beyond those previously communicated for 2025. Total cost savings are expected to amount to approximately SEK 8 million on an annual basis.
Employees in Lund, as well as consultancy and agency agreements, have been terminated. Furthermore, savings are being implemented by reducing the company's rental, patent, and IT costs.
The company announces that the commercial initiatives previously communicated will be carried out with existing staff and with the good support received from partners such as FPS and Tropical Food Machinery.
"These concrete measures are part of achieving the Company's goal of reaching a positive EBITDA result for the full year 2026," says Henrik Nettersand, CFO, OptiCept Technologies.
The savings package is estimated to total a net amount of approximately SEK 8 million (adjusted for the sales resources recruited regionally) on an annual basis. The savings program will entail one-time costs of approximately SEK 2.1 million, of which about SEK 1.5 million will impact the 2025 results, and the remainder will affect Q1 2026.
The savings will take effect gradually during 2026 and are expected to be fully realized in Q3 2026.
