CEO’s statement
“I am very pleased to announce that our growth focus within existing markets is yielding results. We are experiencing a significant increase in sales while simultaneously adjusting our organization and production capacity in an economically sustainable manner to ensure continued stable growth. In parallel, we also aim to broaden our product portfolio through in-licensing or acquisition. During the second quarter, we achieved a positive cash flow of SEK 2.4 million, which marks an important step forward in our efforts to build a successful diagnostics company.

Revenue increased by 30% compared to the same quarter last year and by nearly 20% compared to the first quarter. We are now in our fourth consecutive year of strong sales growth. Compared to the first half of 2023, sales have grown by 23%, and we continue to see very strong order intake”.
