- Significant company transformation through the purchase of real estate and continued progress in the medical device business
"We have taken significant steps forward in 2025. For the fourth quarter, we show both increased order intake and revenue, while considerably reducing our operating costs, compared to the same quarter in 2024. Gross order intake for the quarter increased by 13% to SEK 3.5 million and the trend for the fourth quarter follows what we have seen earlier in the year. The largest increase for the full year is in the U.S., where albeit from low 2024 figures we show growth of 65%. Our business outside the U.S. has been affected by the staff reductions, but despite this we are seeing an increase in order intake, up by 3%. In the U.S., we see a 120% increase in our customer base during 2025. The year ended strongly, with a record in number of procedures performed in the U.S. in a single quarter. This figure was 50% higher than in any previous quarter. On December 30, we announced that the company is adding a new strategic business segment in real estate. The purpose of the acquisition is to complement the existing operations with a stable platform of income-generating real estate assets. This will provide an opportunity to support the financing of the medical device business, while simultaneously building a new and exciting company. We look forward to updating our shareholders with more information on this" says Katarina Flodström, CEO, Episurf Medical.
