Total revenue for Q3 amounted to SEK 73.9 million (Q3 2023: SEK 49.5 million), including net sales of SEK 67.3 million (Q3 2023: SEK 45.5 million), and EBITDA amounted to SEK 9.9 million (Q3 2023: SEK -9.5 million). OPEX totaled SEK 56.9 million for Q3 (Q3 2023: SEK 49.8 million) and the anticipated cost savings of SEK 25 million related to the strategic shift from 2023 are expected to be delivered on a full-year basis. Total cash flow for the quarter amounted to SEK 1.6 million (Q3 2023: SEK -38.7 million).
Total license revenues amounted to SEK 47.5 million (Q3 2023: SEK 20.8 million) and were mainly driven by increased revenues from the BD partnership which amounted to SEK 33.3 million (Q3 2023: SEK 9.2 million). Our partnership now has a more global approach, where we work closely together on the expansion of Bactiguardcoated Foley catheters into both existing and new markets. The BD relationship demonstrates how the license focused strategy is proving itself. Our collaboration has shifted into a close partner cooperation where Bactiguard now engages with BD across the entire value chain, from technology through go-to-market. In short, BD's success is our success.
Revenues in the third quarter from the Zimmer Biomet partnership amounted to SEK 10.7 million (Q3 2023: SEK 11.6 million) and consisted of both license revenues from royalties and application development revenues. Notably, most of the Zimmer Biomet revenues are related to the continuing trauma agreement.
Our Wound Management portfolio had a strong third quarter with revenues of SEK 17.9 million (Q3 2023: SEK 17.5 million) and continues to grow profitably. Revenues from the BIP portfolio decreased and amounted to SEK 1.9 million (Q3 2023: SEK 7.1 million), which is in line with our expectations following the decision to discontinue our own product portfolio and transition the BIP Foley markets to BD.
With an EBITDA of SEK 9.9 million for the third quarter (Q3 2023: SEK -9.5 million), we have turned profitable on an EBITDA level both for the quarter and year-to-date. The profitability was delivered from a combination of increased license revenues and a disciplined approach to costs.
The termination of the multiple orthopedic product segment agreement in early October was a disappointment, but the trauma agreement remains in effect. Zimmer Biomet informed us that they were not prepared to commit to a more complex and lengthier US FDA pathway than initially expected for the other orthopedic product segments. However, Zimmer Biomet are strong believers in the importance of infection prevention and in our technology. We continue working together in the trauma segment where the infection rate, and therefore medical need, is significantly higher compared to, for instance, reconstructive procedures. This collaboration includes, among other things, work with regulatory processes in Europe and the US. In addition, the commercialization activities for the ZNN Bactiguard trauma nail, especially in Europe, continues.
We are in close dialogue with Zimmer Biomet to evaluate further details and analyze the longer-term financial impact of the termination of the multiple orthopedic agreement. As a consequence, we have decided to review our 2028 financial targets, set in October 2023, and the outcome of the review will be announced during Q1 2025.
13 September was World Sepsis Day. Nearly 50 million people contract sepsis when an infection goes astray, and more than 11 million die each year. These data points put the need for infection prevention into perspective and for Bactiguard, this drives home our mission to work with leading MedTech companies to enable differentiated medical devices to be brought to the market. We see an increased interest in our infection prevention technology, and we are actively exploring its application across multiple therapeutic areas. Our R&D team is currently working with potential MedTech partners in early-stage testing on different medical devices, surfaces, and materials to demonstrate the performance of our technology. When early-stage projects with potential partners convert into exclusivity and license partnerships, we will announce to the market accordingly.
A year has passed since Bactiguard embarked on the journey to a sharpened license focused strategy and we have been through a fundamental transformation, from being a medical device company to a licensing partnership and knowledge organization. We have reached EBITDA profitability for 2024 already in the third quarter serving as evidence that our strategy and business model are effective. Regardless, we remain humble about the complexities in creating strategic long-term partnerships with leading global MedTech companies. We will continue to work relentlessly on advancing our current partnerships as well as continue to strengthen the knowledge and specialist areas within the organization further. This will enable us to deliver future partnerships in therapeutic areas where there is a strong unmet medical need for infection prevention.
Christine Lind, CEO
Bactiguard is a global MedTech company developing safe and biocompatible technology to prevent medical device related infections. The company's unique technology is based on an ultra-thin noble metal coating that prevents bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on medical devices.
Bactiguard's infection prevention solutions decrease patient suffering, save lives, and unburden healthcare resources while also fighting against antimicrobial resistance, one of the most serious threats to global health and modern medicine.
Bactiguard operates through license partnerships with leading global MedTech companies that apply the technology to their medical devices and sell them under their own brand or co-branded with Bactiguard. The company also has a portfolio of wound management products.
Bactiguard's revenues have two main components: firstly, charging license partners for the right to use our coating technology on their medical devices within a specific application and geographical area, and secondly, royalties; a variable remuneration once the license partners' products reach the market. Bactiguard's business model is scalable and has a high-margin potential. The revenues are generated across three phases of partnerships: application development partners, exclusivity partners and license partners.
An application development partner participates in a development project where we test the coating technology to different medical devices, surfaces, and materials. Bactiguard's coating development team works in close collaboration with the partner. Some application development projects will not materialize, and this is a natural part of our business.
An exclusivity partner gets an exclusive right to apply our coating technology to a certain medical device but has no products in the market yet, for instance due to pending regulatory approvals.
A license partner has the right to market and sell medical devices with Bactiguard's coating technology, in a certain region or globally. Most of our revenues are generated through partnerships at this phase. BD and Zimmer Biomet (their trauma implant ZNN Bactiguard) are examples of license partners.
Not all partnerships will follow all three phases. An agreement with a partner can generate revenues from different phases and streams simultaneously.

Zimmer Biomet has informed Bactiguard that they terminate the license agreement signed in 2022 covering multiple orthopedic product segments. The reason stated is the more complex and lengthier path with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) than initially expected by Zimmer Biomet. The partnership with Zimmer Biomet within the trauma product segment, related to the agreement signed in 2019, remains in effect.
The company's financial targets relate to growth and profitability and are expected to be delivered by year-end 2028. The financial and strategic targets should not be perceived as a forecast but rather reflect what
Bactiguard's Board of Directors and Executive Management consider to be reasonable mid-term expectations given the sharpened license focused strategy.
Due to the termination of the multiple orthopedic agreement by Zimmer Biomet, we have decided to review our 2028 financial targets, set in October 2023, and the outcome of the review will be announced during Q1 2025.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting and the Annual Accounts Act. Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting are submitted both in notes and elsewhere in the interim report. The parent company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and the Financial Reporting Board's recommendation, RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.
Accounting and valuation principles are stated in the annual report 2023. The accounting principles are unchanged from previous periods, except for a new assessment model of clients' risk classification, where more clients are assessed individually as a consequence of the change.
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may derive revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker and for which there is separate financial information. The company's reporting of operating segments is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker is the function that assesses the operating segment performance and decides how to allocate resources. The company has determined that the Group's executive management constitutes of the chief operating decision maker. The company is considered in its entirety to operate within one business segment.
During the period, the parent company has received compensation for services and interest on its receivables from group companies. No investments were made during the period.
Companies within the Group are exposed to various types of risk through their activities. Bactiguard continually engages in a process of identifying all risks that may arise and assessing how each of these risks shall be managed. The Group is working to create an overall risk management program that focuses on minimizing potential adverse effects on the company's financial results. The company is primarily exposed to market related risks, operational risks, and financial risks. A description of these risks can be found on page 16 and 45–47 in the annual report 2023. In addition to the liquidity and financing risk stated, the parent company has a credit facility with SEB with a term until May 2025, which is set to be extended during Q1 2025. In addition, the parent company has a shareholder-issued Liquidity Guarantee until June 2026.
In addition to identified risks, the macro situation and its impact is continuously monitored. The global healthcare challenges have a significant impact on society. The need for more efficient and safe healthcare is driven by both economic and demographic developments, as well as increased political unrest, conflicts, wars, and natural disasters. Particularly prominent are healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial resistance where we see an increased interest in infection prevention.
Bactiguard does not have suppliers in or sales to any of Russia, Belarus, or Ukraine. However, the global economy is affected by the situation of the war, and we follow developments closely and continuously evaluate the operational and financial effects as the global situation may change and affect the company's financial position. Bactiguard has a subsidiary in Israel. We are closely following the developments there and our primary focus is to ensure the staff's well-being and security. We make the assessment that the conflict in Israel will have a negligible effect on the group's result and financial position.
While we see falling inflation levels, inflation and higher prices can continue to affect the company negatively as it is not always possible to change the price to the customers, all of which can affect the financial position negatively. The falling inflation levels can lead to lower interest rates, which can positively impact the interest costs. Some countries are now in or close to recession, which can lead to a decreased ability for customers to pay their invoices. The company also has a large exposure to the USD and EUR, see the annual report 2023.

Bactiguard presents certain financial measures in its annual report that have not been defined in line with IFRS (referred to as alternative key performance indicators as set forth in the ESMA guidelines). It is the opinion of the company that these measures provide useful supplementary information to investors and the company's management as they allow for the evaluation of the company's performance. Since not all companies calculate the measures in the same way, these are not always comparable to measures used by other companies. These performance measures should therefore not be considered a substitute for measures as defined under IFRS.
The definitions and tables below describe how the performance measures are calculated. The measures are alternative in accordance with ESMA's guidelines unless otherwise stated.
EBITDA presents the company's earning capacity from ongoing operations irrespective of capital structure and tax situation. The key figure is used to facilitate comparisons with other companies in the same industry. The company considers this performance measure to be the most relevant, since the company's technology is depreciated by large amounts, which does not impact cash flow negatively. Bactiguard's patented, unique technology can be applied to a broad range of products in the licensing business.
The company defines EBITDA as operating profit/loss excluding depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets.

The table below shows the breakdown of financial assets and financial liabilities recognized at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet. Distribution of how fair value is determined is based on three levels.
Level 1: according to prices quoted on an active market for the same instrument.
Level 2: based on directly or indirectly observable market data not included in level 1.
Level 3: based on input data that is not observable on the market.
For description of how real values have been calculated, see annual report 2023, note 4. Fair value of financial assets and liabilities is estimated to be substantially consistent with posted values. The group holds derivative instruments for foreign exchange contracts which are recognized at fair value through profit or loss, considering the current exchange rate on the foreign exchange market and the remaining maturity of respective instruments. The balance sheet contains receivables and liabilities from the business that are held to maturity. These are reported at amortized cost, which also constitutes an approximation to fair value.
