Interim Report

For the period January - March 2024

Ortivus continues to deliver solutions to improve the future of healthcare

The first quarter has been characterised by new contracts and marketing activities, as well as substantial efforts aimed at recovering from the cyberattack that impacted the company's subcontractor in July 2023.

The large-scale project concerning the delivery of MobiMed ePR, electronic patient record system, to Estonia's ambulance fleet is advancing and will soon transition to the next phase, which is a system acceptance test. The delivery is conducted in close collaboration with the Estonian Health Insurance Fund, Tervisekassa, and the company's strategic partner, Telia Estii. Anticipated for completion by 2025, this project aims to equip all of the country's approximately 100 ambulances with MobiMed, ensuring enhanced healthcare capabilities. The estimated value of the delivery stands at 26 MSEK, with a contract duration of 5 years and the possibility of extending it by another 5 years. This extension is also projected to have a similar order value of approximately 26 MSEK.

The delivery of MobiMed ePR and enRoute to Region Jönköpings län, as well as the delivery of MobiMed Life defibrillators to Region Kronoberg, has also commenced and is now being managed by Ortivus and the regions' project teams.

During the quarter, Region Norrbotten decided to award Ortivus a contract for supplying MobiMed ePR to the region's ambulance organisation. Having utilised MobiMed Monitor for patient monitoring for a long time, Region Norrbotten now enhances its prehospital care with a more comprehensive system through this contract. The contract duration is five years with the possibility of annual extension for an additional five years. The estimated order value is 6.0 MSEK for the initial period, with an additional 4.5 MSEK upon contract extension.

Ortivus' big delivery project to Estonia is soon to enter the next phase, which involves an acceptance test. The project is expected to be completed by 2025, by which time all of the country's vehicles are to be equipped with MobiMed ePR.

In the beginning of the period, contracts were signed with Region Sörmland for the delivery of MobiMed Monitor and MobiMed Life, allowing the project to kick off in March with a scheduled rollout slated for the autumn of 2024. The estimated value of the delivery stands at 10.0 MSEK, with a contract duration of 2 years and the potential for a 1+1 year extension.

The revenue for the quarter amounted to 22.1 (28.0) MSEK with a net loss of -2.2 (0.2) MSEK. The 24.3% decrease in revenue compared to the corresponding period 2023, is attributed to fewer large installation projects compared to last year. The gross margin at 41% (48%), is lower than the previous year due to increased purchase prices and the downtime related to the cyberattack. Consequently, the operating profit is pressured down to -2.2 (0.5) MSEK.

Following Ortivus' progress in the Swedish primary care sector, the company is now actively involved in the Danish home healthcare initiative, Acucare. This expansive partnership includes key stakeholders like Själlands University Hospital, Falck, and Ortivus. Acucare's primary objective is to, by leveraging cutting-edge technology, deliver personalised care remotely and to monitor the vital signs of acute and cardiac patients within the comfort of their own homes. MobiMed Monitor and MobiMed ePR are successfully utilised in the project that stands as one of the pioneering efforts aimed at relieving pressure on emergency healthcare services and enable advanced home healthcare.

2 Ortivus is part of the Danish Acucare, a large-scale collaboration project aimed at enhancing home care and enabling remote patient monitoring using innovative equipment.

Despite all systems being operational again, Ortivus' liquidity situation during the first quarter was significantly impacted by the criminal cyberattack directed at the company's subcontractor in July 2023.

The company is actively working on recovery efforts. To strengthen liquidity, Ortivus has decided to enter into an agreement for a bridge loan of 5.0 MSEK with the company's main owner, Ponderus Invest. Simultaneously, a legal process is underway to compensate for lost revenue and accrued costs incurred in connection with the cyberattack. The bridge loan will also cover the costs associated with the restructuring currently underway within the company.

The need for innovation in healthcare is substantial, and there's a high demand for our solutions. By maintaining close collaboration with our customers, we're able to develop systems that meet the evolving needs of the future. We're witnessing a growing interest in our new products, MobiMed FleetCtrl and MobiMed enRoute, across various markets and Ortivus continues to expand its international presence through strategic partnerships. We take great pride in addressing healthcare challenges, contributing to safer and more effective prehospital care.

Alternative key figures

Important estimates and

assessments

Ortivus assesses that there are no estimates in the current financial statement that are associated with significant risk of notable changes in the reported amounts.

The following text describes important estimates that are associated with risk of changes in the reported values, but where the risk is not significant or where the possible adjustment is not notable or where it is not expected to affect reported values in the coming year.

Value recovery of development expenditure

The risk that balanced development expenses would not be recovered is dependent on future market potential for the developed products as well as prices and manufacturing costs that form the basis for estimates and calculations made before each development project is initiated.

Alterations in these conditions could have a significant impact on the carrying amount of the project, presented in the consolidated balance sheet.
