Financial summary

Second quarter 2024

  • Net sales for the quarter totaled MSEK 41.1 (37.3), equivalent to an increase of 10% compared to the same quarter 2023. At constant exchange rates, sales increased by 10%.
  • Gross profit was MSEK 29.0 (26.6) equivalent to a margin of 71% (71%).
  • Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) totaled MSEK -13.9 (-10.7), equivalent to an EBITDA margin of -34% (-29%). EBITDA ex-US for the quarter was MSEK -10.8 (-10.2) corresponding to a margin of -26% (-27%). EBITDA during the quarter was negatively impacted by exchange rate differences on operating balance sheet items of MSEK -2.2, while EBITDA in the second quarter last year included a positive such effect of MSEK 2.7.
  • Operating income (EBIT) totaled MSEK -19.1 (-16.3), equivalent to an EBIT margin of -46% (-44%).
  • Net income for the quarter was MSEK -17.2 (1.4) and earnings per share before and after dilution was SEK -0.18 (0.01). The decrease is mainly due to a lower financial net compared to the same quarter 2023. The financial net partly consists of unrealized currency effects on cash and cash equivalents held in USD, but also of interest revenue on cash and cash equivalents.
  • Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter totaled MSEK 304 compared to MSEK 361 at the beginning of the quarter.
  • Cash flow from operating activities totaled MSEK 1.9 (-36.0). The positive operating cash flow derives mainly from payments from customers following high sales in the first quarter and also increased short-term liabilities due to phasing of payments regarding the US clinical program.
  • Cash flow from investments in intangible assets, mostly driven by our US clinical program, totaled MSEK -55.6
  • (-45.8). Total cash flow from investment activities were MSEK -55.8 (-45.8). • Total cash flow for the quarter was MSEK -54.4 (-83.0).

January-June 2024

  • Net sales for the period totaled MSEK 89.9 (75.1), equivalent to an increase of 20% compared to 2023. At constant exchange rates, sales increased by 19%.
  • Gross profit was MSEK 63.7 (54.1) equivalent to a margin of 71% (72%). The decrease is mainly due to product mix effects.
  • Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) totaled MSEK -14.9 (-21.4), equivalent to an EBITDA margin of -17% (-28%). EBITDA ex-US was MSEK -9.2 (-20.3) corresponding to a margin of -10% (-27%).
  • Operating income (EBIT) totaled MSEK -25.6 (-32.6), equivalent to an EBIT margin of -29% (-43%).
  • Net income was MSEK 3.4 (-14.7) and earnings per share before and after dilution was SEK 0.03 (-0.15). The increase is due to a higher financial net compared to last year. The financial net partly consists of unrealized currency effects on cash and cash equivalents held in USD, but also of received interest on cash and cash equivalents.
  • Cash and short-term investments at the end of the period totaled MSEK 304 compared to MSEK 382 at the beginning of the year, supported by a positive exchange rate effect of MSEK 17.1.
  • Cash flow from operating activities totaled MSEK 10.3 (-43.0). The positive operating cash flow derives mainly from increased short-term liabilities due to phasing of payments regarding the US clinical program and also payments from customers following high sales in the first quarter together with received interest on cash and cash equivalents of MSEK 4.6 related to repaid deposits during the first quarter.
  • Cash flow from investments in intangible assets, mostly driven by our US clinical program, totaled MSEK -107.7 (-85.0). Including repaid deposits and the previous year's investment in deposits, total cash flow from investment activities totaled MSEK 47.4 (-391,4).
  • Total cash flow for the period was MSEK 55.9 (-436.7). Excluding the repaid deposits and the previous year's investment in deposits, the total cash flow amounted to MSEK -99.4 (-130.6).

Sedana Medical AB (publ) is a pioneer medtech and pharmaceutical company focused on inhaled sedation to improve patients' life during and beyond sedation. Through the combined strengths of the medical device Sedaconda ACD and the pharmaceutical Sedaconda (isoflurane), Sedana Medical provides inhaled sedation for mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care. Sedana Medical was founded in 2005 and is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm. The company's head office is in Stockholm, Sweden.

CEO comments

We continue to focus on our ambitious goals for 2024: achieving an all-time-high in sales, reaching EBITDA break-even outside of the US during the year, and progressing towards our single biggest growth opportunity, launching in the United States. The highlights of the past months include the enrollment completion of both our Phase III clinical trials in the US and the acquisition of our main supplier Innovatif Cekal, an important milestone in building a long-term profitable company. Despite more modest sales growth compared to the first quarter, we have delivered H1 sales above our guidance.

H1 growth above our financial guidance

During last year's restructuring, we turned Sedana Medical into a much more commercially oriented company by vigorously shifting resources from the corporate headquarter to the frontline and implementing a disciplined investment approach, focusing on countries with strong momentum and profitability. This strategy has resulted in a return to a solid growth path after the post-Covid-19 period and we now operate almost all of our country organizations in a profitable way.

With net sales of 41 MSEK, we report the highest Q2 sales so far, and with a year-over-year growth rate of 19% excluding exchange rate effects in the first half year, we track above our full-year growth guidance corridor of 14-18%. While I am pleased with these results overall, we also have to clearly state that the Q2 growth rate of 10% is quite soft, especially in comparison to the excellent first quarter.

Part of the explanation for the difference in growth rates between Q1 and Q2 lies in the fact that Q1 and Q2 had almost the same sales level last year, which is atypical. Normally, we see a seasonal decline in Q2 compared to Q1 by on average 10%1, as fewer patients require intensive care during the warmer months. With a 13% sales decline between Q1 and Q2 this year (correcting for the sizeable order from our South American distributor in Q1), the seasonal decline was more pronounced, especially in our main market Germany. In June, we measured the capacity utilization and the number of mechanically ventilated patients in a sample of 40 key German customers. We found that the share of mechanically ventilated patients relative to available ventilator beds was only 20%, compared to the normal range of 40-50%. This temporary absence of ventilated patients, likely due to the early onset of summer weather, led to very weak German sales in June, with a decline of over 20% compared to June 2023. Both April and May, as well as the first weeks of July, showed growth compared to the previous year, suggesting that the June decline was temporary.

Our other direct markets have continued their strong growth trajectory, achieving a growth rate for the second quarter of 46% excluding exchange rate effects. Spain remains our main growth engine, benefiting from an expanded customer base, pricing and reimbursement approval, and the launch of our pharmaceutical Sedaconda (isoflurane) in Q4 2023. Additionally, we have seen significantly accelerated sales growth in the UK following MHRA approval at the end of 2023. Our other direct markets now account for almost 30% of our total sales, underscoring the importance of our strategy to reduce dependence on our main market, Germany. This diversification is crucial as our direct markets outside Germany play an increasingly vital role in achieving our overall growth ambitions.

Our distributor business grew 29% year-over-year in Q2 excluding exchange rate effects, which is now the third consecutive quarter with solid year-over-year growth after a period of sales decline post-Covid. Our targeted approach, which focuses our support on select key partners with high potential and positive momentum, is bearing fruit.

Strategic acquisition for long-term profitability

We continue to take action to improve our bottom line, which underscores our commitment to financial resilience and our clear aim to reach ex-US break-even again during this year, as we did in Q1 (with some support from FX). In July, we have signed an agreement to acquire our main supplier Innovatif Cekal in Malaysia. After streamlining our non-customer-facing functions and shifting resources towards the frontline, this acquisition represents the next strategic move towards building a long-term profitable company. By taking control of the supply chain for our main product Sedaconda ACD and some accessories, we expect to add two percentage points to our EBITDA margin over time.

As anticipated, our Q2 EBITDA was lower than in Q1, when we achieved a positive ex-US EBITDA and nearly balanced group EBITDA. The primary driver of the decline is the seasonally lower sales level and an exchange rate effect of 4.5 MSEK. The remainder is explained by higher admin cost, which are mostly related to higher legal fees in connection with the acquisition of Innovatif Cekal and the long-term incentive program, which was approved by the AGM in May.

Enrollment completion in the USA

With a potential commercial launch upcoming already in 2026, we are becoming even more excited about the growth opportunity in the United States, where we estimate the market potential for our inhaled sedation products to 10-12 BSEK. This figure is approximately three times greater than the combined market potential of our current direct markets in Europe. Several factors contribute to this significant opportunity, including the larger population size, a medical practice

1 Based on the years 2016-2022, excluding the exceptional Covid-19 year 2020

more in favor of intubation, and an overall attractive pricing environment. With a good fit with the US healthcare and reimbursement system and a potentially significant positive impact on customers' economics, we feel well positioned for a successful US launch.

By recruiting the last patient in both INSPiRE ICU-1 and INSPiRE ICU-2 in April and May respectively, we have cleared a very important milestone on our road to the US market. Besides this great achievement, I am pleased that we remain on track with the activities that we can control, such as the ongoing long-term 3 and 6 month follow up assessment of the study patients, and the work on the different parts of the NDA dossier. We are hence still aiming for receiving top-line study data in the second half of this year and a submission in the first quarter of next year.

To meet this timeline, we will depend on the agency's acceptance of our analysis and submission plans and a positive data read-out. Also the FDA's decision regarding our eligibility for benefits based on the Fast Track Designation may have an impact on the timeline. We continue to be in close exchange with the FDA, leveraging our Fast Track Designation including more frequent access to the agency.

Exciting times ahead

Reflecting on the progress we have made in the first half of the year, I continue to see Sedana Medical well on track to deliver on our goals. I would like to thank the entire Sedana Medical team for their efforts for the benefit of patients and ICU care teams, and of course our shareholders for your continued trust and support. With the ambition of ex-US breakeven and hopefully positive topline data from the US, the second half of 2024 holds the potential to be an inflection point in Sedana Medical's journey. I am looking forward to updating you on our progress.

Johannes Doll, President & CEO

Significant events during the period

First quarter

  • During the first quarter, Sedana Medical achieved the highest quarterly sales in the company's history, including the Covid-19 period, where sales were inflated by high patient numbers and unusual stocking effects.
  • We achieved a positive EBITDA ex-US, in the first quarter which marked the first time in the company's history, with the exception of Q1 2020, when extraordinary Covid-related sales resulted in a slightly positive EBITDA.
  • An ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) Committee was established to underscore the commitment to build a long-term sustainable and responsible business.

Second quarter

  • Enrollment of both our US clinical studies was completed in April and May respectively.
  • Two new Board members were elected by the AGM in May: Donna Haire and Jens Viebke.

Significant events after the period

• In July, Sedana Medical announced the acquisition of Innovatif Cekal, the supplier of the company's main product Sedaconda ACD. Acquiring Innovatif Cekal enables better control of the supply chain and improved profitability by reducing the cost of goods sold. Closing of the acquisition is expected in the second half of the year.

Market potential

With its innovative product portfolio for inhaled sedation, Sedana Medical is targeting mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care units. Geographically, Sedana Medical has a clear focus on today's direct markets in Europe (Germany, Spain, France, UK, Nordics and Benelux) and its largest potential market, the United States.

The company's main device Sedaconda ACD is approved and sold in more than 40 countries. In 18 of these countries, Sedana Medical has approval for both its main device Sedaconda ACD and its proprietary pharmaceutical Sedaconda (isoflurane).

In today's direct markets in Europe, a bit less than 1 million intensive care patients annually require mechanical ventilation and sedation2. Based on this patient population, Sedana Medical sees a market potential for its current product portfolio of approximately 3-4 billion SEK.

In the United States, somewhat more than 2 million patients are mechanically ventilated and sedated each year3. Assuming a comparable approved label as in Europe, the market potential in the United States is estimated to be 10-12 billion SEK. This number assumes a relatively modest price difference compared to Europe. If Sedana Medical manages to obtain a price differential that is in line with other sedation therapies, the potential could increase accordingly.

The market potential is projected to grow at low-to-mid single digits per year in line with demographic trends.

In 2023, our sales level in Germany represented a penetration of approximately 12% of the market potential. The best performing sales territories in Germany had a penetration in excess of 20%. Meanwhile, the aggregate penetration in our other direct markets was still below 2%, leaving ample opportunities for growth.

In addition to the primary focus on Europe and the United States, Sedana Medical has distributors in more than 30 countries on all continents.

Strategic priorities

Sedana Medical has set 3 strategic priorities:

1. Achieve lasting and profitable sales growth in Europe

Our market authorizations in 18 European countries make Sedana Medical the only company offering an approved therapy for inhaled sedation in intensive care. With a strong focus on commercial execution and a prudent investment philosophy that prioritizes profitable growth, we aim at making inhaled sedation a standard therapy.

2. Maximize the opportunity in the United States

With more than 100,000 intensive care beds and a generally higher price level for sedation therapies, the United States represent our largest potential market. After completion of our Phase III clinical program, which has received FDA fast track designation, and assuming FDA approval, we aspire to launch our products through our own commercial infrastructure.

3. Build a long-term profitable company

Sedana Medical's model with high gross margins and a concentrated customer base (hospitals with intensive care) favours attractive profitability as continue to grow sales. It is a key priority to turn the Ex-US business profitable during 2024, so the US launch can be executed based on a stable financial platform. As we will gradually reach scale and grow the share of US sales, our long-term target is an EBITDA margin around 40%.

Financial targets

Sedana Medical provides short-term financial targets for net sales and EBITDA and updates these targets in the year-end report of each year or during the year, if needed.

Our financial targets:

  • 2024 net sales growth between 14 and 18%, compared to 16% in 2023*)
  • EBITDA break-even of our Ex-US business during 2024

Business update

Sales and commercial execution

Sedana Medical's vision is to make inhaled sedation the new standard of care in intensive care units (ICUs). Our therapy for inhaled sedation in the ICU consists of the unique medical device Sedaconda ACD, the pharmaceutical Sedaconda® (isoflurane) and accessories, and is being commercialized across Europe leveraging our own sales teams, and globally via distributors. We are focused on building a stronger commercial company by directing our investments towards profitable growth opportunities and enhancing the effectiveness of our sales organization. Our philosophy is to invest in countries that show good growth momentum and generate positive cash flow. For example, we have expanded our sales teams in Germany and Spain, and have recruited another Key Account Manager to the Spanish team who will start in the third quarter. Reversely, we have reduced or delayed further investments in lower-potential geographies until we see a clear trend towards break-even in the near term. With this approach, we ensure that all countries contribute positively to the company over time. At the same time, we are placing emphasis on enhancing our field force effectiveness. For example, we have implemented measures to maximize our customer-facing time, a better customer targeting process, more effective selling model and more rigorous performance management, including effective incentive schemes that reward high performance.

Our growth trajectory that was re-established in 2023 has continued during 2024. In Q2 we report net sales growth of 10% against a strong comparator period in 2023, and we report net sales growth of 20% for the first half of the year. In local currency, sales grew 10% and 19%, respectively.

The sales growth was lower in Q2 than Q1, and this was particularly the case in our main market Germany, where sales decreased by 3% relative to last year (4% in local currency). Two factors contributed to the decline. Firstly, 2023 showed an unusual sales pattern with Q2 sales in Germany exceeding Q1 sales, which was contrary to the normal seasonal pattern. In addition, we saw an exceptionally weak June, where our market research has shown that only 20% of ventilator beds were used by a mechanically ventilated patient. Apart from this outlier in June, sales in Germany grew in April and May, and also in the first weeks of July.

In our other direct markets (Spain, France, UK, Nordics and Benelux) sales grew by 47% during the quarter (46% in local currency). Among these markets, Spain continues to be a top performer, and now matched by the UK in terms of growth rate – albeit from a lower base – after we obtained MHRA approval in late 2023.

Also our French business showed positive growth rates during the quarter, even though the momentum was somewhat slowed down by two vacancies in the field team, which we expect to fill soon.

In our distributor markets, sales increased by 30% compared to last year (29% in local currency). The growth was driven by our prioritized distributor partners, and mainly in Europe during Q2.

Regulatory and pricing/reimbursement approvals in Europe

Sedaconda (isoflurane) has received regulatory approvals by the national authorities in all 18 countries where we have submitted an application: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. So far, the pharmaceutical has been made available in Germany, France, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Belgium and the Netherlands. In addition, Sedaconda (isoflurane) has been launched in Slovenia via our distributor in the country.

In Q4 2023, more than two years after submitting our application, we received regulatory approval for Sedaconda (Isoflurane) from the authorities in the UK (MHRA). Already in 2022, the UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended the Sedaconda ACD as a cost-saving option for delivering inhaled sedation in intensive care. According to NICE, cost modelling had shown cost savings compared with intravenous (IV) sedation of approximately £3,800 per adult patient (30-day time horizon for adult patients needing mechanical ventilation for 24 hours or longer in intensive care). The MHRA approval in combination with the positive NICE guidance is leading to more ICU patients in the UK benefitting from inhaled sedation, which we can clearly see reflected in our sales YTD. Also late 2023, the Spanish Ministry of Health granted pricing and reimbursement approval for Sedaconda (isoflurane) and we launched the pharmaceutical in the country, which is now contributing to the strong sales growth in this market.

Regarding our pediatric label expansion at the end of 2023 we filed the regulatory submission to the EU competent authority to obtain an approval for sedation of mechanically ventilated children in intensive care. We expect that the regulatory review process of the Reference Member State and Concerned Member States in Europe will be completed in H2 2024, after which the national approval processes will follow. The European Medicines Agency's Pediatric Committee issued a positive opinion regarding the compliance with the company's Pediatric Investigation Plan during Q4 2023. This confirms data exclusivity and market protection for Sedaconda (isoflurane) until 2031.

US clinical program and launch preparations

The US has the highest commercial potential of all markets for Sedana Medical, as it has over 100,000 ICU beds and higher sedation therapy price levels than Europe. Sedana Medical's US clinical program INSPiRE-ICU, aiming at obtaining NDA (approval) for inhaled sedation in the ICU, reached a significant milestone in Q2 when patient recruitment for both the INSPiRE-ICU 1 and 2 clinical trials was completed (as announced on April 25 and May 29, respectively). The two randomized double-blind clinical studies aim to confirm and ensure efficacy and safety, based on the same set-up and endpoints as our European study (SED001). The total number of patients included in the two studies is 557 (of which 470 randomized and the remainder run-in patients), recruited across 30 clinics. We remain highly encouraged by the enthusiasm expressed by the healthcare professionals participating in the trials when they see the benefits of inhaled sedation.

Our prediction is that NDA submission can be expected in the early part of 2025 with an estimated approval by early 2026. In early 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted our clinical program Fast Track Designation (FTD). Fast Track is a process designed to facilitate the development and expedite the review of therapies that treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need. The purpose is to get important new therapies to the patient faster. Sedana Medical will have the opportunity to discuss with FDA at a pre-NDA meeting if any of the potential benefits of the Fast Track Designation (accelerated approval, priority review, rolling review) will apply to Sedaconda, which might have a positive effect on overall communicated timelines.

We estimate the market potential for our inhaled sedation products in the United States to 10-12 BSEK. This figure is approximately three times greater than the combined market potential of our current direct markets. Several factors contribute to this significant opportunity, including the larger population size, a medical practice in favor of intubation compared to Europe, and an overall attractive pricing environment.

Beyond clinical benefits for patients, the key determinant of a medical product's success in the US market lies in its reimbursement status and impact on customers' economics. Although a variety of inpatient hospital payment mechanisms exist, the DRG ("diagnoses-related groups") system is the dominant one for ventilated patients in the ICU. Under the DRGs, a hospital is paid a preset rate based on the patient's diagnoses and procedures. For mechanically ventilated patients, this will in most cases mean that hospitals will see a tangible positive financial effect if patients wake up faster, spend less time on the ventilator and leave the ICU faster – all of which are benefits of inhaled sedation, which we are hoping to prove in our US clinical trial, as we did in Europe.

Moreover, heightened awareness of opioid risks in the US, exacerbated by the opioid crisis with over 100,000 overdose deaths annually, positions our inhaled sedation therapy as a compelling alternative. If our US study replicates the significant reduction of opioid use observed in our previous studies, we stand to benefit from the widespread preference for opioid-sparing therapies.

The benefits of inhaled sedation are also well aligned with existing treatment recommendations, such as the CDC's "Wake up and Breathe" Collaborative, which is intended to get patients off the ventilator sooner and improve recovery time, opening opportunities to get well positioned in treatment guidelines. Based on these insights, we are highly optimistic about the commercial success of inhaled sedation in the US.

As our US clinical program now has completed the patient recruitment phase and work intensifies on preparing our dossier for NDA submission, our US activities are also gradually becoming more commercial. In recent months, we have strengthened our Medical Affairs and Marketing presence in the US, to engage with key opinion leaders and healthcare professionals, and further enhance our understanding of the US market ahead of launch.

Importantly, Sedana Medical is financed to achieve US approval, with MSEK 304 in cash at the end of Q2.

Acquisition of Innovatif Cekal

The acquisition of Innovatif Cekal, the supplier of our main product (Sedaconda ACD), represents the next logical step in building a long-term profitable company, after the restructuring and cost saving program that was implemented last year.

Innovatif Cekal (IC) is a manufacturer of medical devices based in Klang near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. IC has two customers: Sedana Medical and another Nordic medical technology company. IC produces Sedana Medical's main product Sedaconda ACD and certain accessories such as adapters, and Sedana Medical has accounted for the majority of IC's sales in recent years.

The acquisition of IC is a good strategic fit and financially accretive for Sedana Medical:

By vertically integrating IC, we assume direct control over a larger share of our cost of goods sold, which reduces the risks related to future cost fluctuations and supply disruptions. The acquisition enables improved control of the future scale-up of production capacity to meet our growth plans. In addition, it allows for potential cost reduction initiatives to be implemented over time.

The acquisition will also improve our margin on our main device and drive value creation, in particular over time as sales are expected to grow further. Over time, when the existing stock at the time of closing has been depleted, the deal is expected to add two percentage points to Sedana Medical's EBITDA, which means that we expect value creation from the acquisition well in excess of the purchase price.

Sedana Medical will purchase all shares in IC for 34 MSEK on a cash and debt free basis. 75% of the purchase price is paid upon closing of the transaction, and the remaining 25% is to be paid 2 years after closing. Based on IC's financial result for the year 2023, the purchase price corresponds to an EBITDA multiple of 4.3x and a P/E multiple of 5.7x. There is no longterm debt in IC.

We will finance the transaction with existing cash. The acquisition is expected to have a net positive impact on our cash flow from operations from 2025 and a net positive impact on its cash balance from 2028. Importantly, we remain financed to deliver on the company's strategic plan also after the acquisition, including obtaining market approval in the USA.

Closing of the transaction is subject to certain deliverables on the part of the seller and is expected to take place during the second half of 2024.

Cost management and resource allocation

We reported positive EBITDA for our ex-US business in Q1 2024, helped by a positive currency effect, which reflects a significant improvement in resource effectiveness achieved through a combination of shifting resources to customer-facing functions in our main markets, as well as outright cost reductions in administrative and headquarter functions. In Q2, we report negative EBITDA, reflecting the seasonally lower sales level, unfavorable exchange rate effects, and a MSEK 2 increase in operational expenses compared with Q1.

We report a gross margin of 71% in Q2 2024, which is in line with Q2 2023 and also Q1 2024. A proportionately higher share of Sedaconda (isoflurane) in the sales mix had a slight negative effect on the percentage gross margin. In addition, we are experiencing cost increases for materials and key components and maintain a close dialogue with our suppliers. As communicated previously, our target gross margin remains at least 70%, even though we may see some volatility due to market and product mix effects.

We report operating expenses of MSEK 46 in Q2 2024, which is in line with the same quarter of last year. Operating expenses are MSEK 2 higher than in Q1 2024, driven by administrative costs mainly related to legal fees (related to the acquisition of Innovatif Cekal and the LTIP approved by the AGM) and personnel, of which 1 MSEK can be considered nonrecurring.

EBITDA for the quarter was MSEK -14 compared to MSEK -11 in the same quarter last year and MSEK -1 in Q1 2024. EBITDA Ex-US for the quarter was MSEK -11, compared with MSEK -10 in the same quarter last year. EBITDA for the quarter includes a net FX effect of MSEK -2, compared with MSEK 3 in the same quarter last year and MSEK 2 in Q1 2024.

We remain focused on profitable growth opportunities and making sure to manage our resources in a prudent way, to launch in the US backed by a solid foundation in Europe.

ESG sustainability

Sedana Medical aims to be a responsible partner to all customers, suppliers, employees, and other stakeholders, as well as an attractive long-term investment for our shareholders. Sedana Medical's Code of Conduct constitutes a framework for what the company considers to be responsible and appropriate conduct to build a long-term sustainable business. During the quarter, our ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) Committee has continued the work to map Sedana Medical's carbon footprint and provide life-cycle analyses of our main products.

Group performance

Net sales

Net sales for the quarter amounted to KSEK 41,056 (37,288), corresponding to an increase of 10 percent. Adjusted for currency effects, the quarter showed an increase of 10 percent.

In our main market Germany, sales decreased by 3%, which is mainly due to a reduced number of ventilated patients in June compared to the previous year. In addition, the first and second quarters last year were more even in sales levels, while the second quarter of 2024 showed a seasonal decline, which contributes to the uneven growth rate between the first and second quarters. In our other direct markets, sales increased by 47% and it is primarily Spain and the UK that have shown strong growth. For our distributor markets, sales increased by 30% and the growth was mainly driven by our distributors in Europe.

For the interim period, net sales amounted to KSEK 89,877 (75,069), corresponding to an increase of 20 percent. Adjusted for currency effects, the increase was 19 percent.

Other information

General information

Sedana Medical (publ), with corporate identity number 556670-2519, is a limited company registered in Sweden with registered office in Danderyd. The address of the head office is Svärdvägen 3A, SE-182 33 Danderyd, Sweden. The object of the company's operations is to develop, manufacture and sell medical devices and pharmaceuticals. Sedana Medical AB is the Parent Company of the Sedana Medical Group. Unless otherwise indicated, all amounts are stated in thousands of Swedish kronor (KSEK). All amounts, unless otherwise indicated, are rounded to the nearest thousand. Figures in brackets relate to the comparative year.

For the Group's financial assets and liabilities, their carrying amount is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value as they essentially refer to current receivables and liabilities, so that the discounting effect is insignificant.

Accounting principles

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The parent company Interim report has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and Swedish Financial Reporting Board recommendation RFR 2. Applied accounting policies agree with those described in the 2023 Annual Report of Sedana Medical. None of the other published standards and interpretations that are mandatory for the Group for the financial year 2024 are deemed to have any significant impact on the Group's financial reports.

Important estimates

Estimates and judgements are evaluated regularly and based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events considered reasonable under prevailing circumstances. For further information, see the Group's 2023 Annual Report.

Alternative performance measures

Alternative performance measures relate to financial performance indicators used by the senior management and investors to assess the Group's earnings and financial position which cannot be read or derived directly from the financial statements. These financial performance indicators are intended to facilitate analysis of the Group's development. The alternative performance measures should accordingly be regarded as complementing the financial reporting prepared in accordance with IFRS. The financial performance indicators presented in this report may differ from similar indicators used by other companies. These key ratios that are not defined according to IFRS are also presented in the report because they are considered to constitute important supplementary key ratios for the company's results. For information on these key ratios and how they have been calculated, please see definitions on page 22 and https://sedanamedical.com/investors/financial-reports-presentations/

Risk

Sedana Medical's operations, earnings and financial position are affected by a number of risk factors. These are principally related to demand for medical devices, fluctuating exchange rates and access to funding. More information about Sedana Medical's risks and management of these risks can be found in the 2023 Annual Report on pages 32-34.

Personnel

During the interim period, the Group had an average of 76 (80) full time employees and 5 (7) full time consultants, representing a decrease of 6 on the same period in 2023. In terms of total headcount (i.e. regardless of full-time or parttime positions), the total number of employees was 81 and the total number of consultants was 8 at the end of the quarter, compared to 84 and 9 respectively at the corresponding balance date last year. The decrease in the number of people is mainly a result of efficiency measures in central administrative and support functions.

During 2021, Sedana Medical provided a loan amounting to KSEK 300 to Stefan Krisch and as of June 30, the claim amounted to KSEK 267 which was fully repaid beginning of July.
