CEO's comments
I´m pleased to see the positive sales trend we have seen since autumn last year is continuing. Sales in the quarter were SEK 47 million, with sales growth of 4 per cent and operating margin of 16.3 per cent. Developments in North America and EMEA lie behind the sales growth and for the first three quarters of the year we report growth of 26 per cent with an operating margin of 18 per cent. At the same time as we have had a good sales trend the work of sound cost control has continued. This contributes to our generating a strong cash flow from operating activities of more than SEK 13 million during the quarter.
The sales start for the new product CellaVision®DM9600, replacing the CellaVision®DM96, exceeded expectations even though some initial slowness was noted. Our new software, CellaVision®Advanced RBC Application, was launched in parallel, with the first order going to a Canadian customer. Much work still remains with both products' registration and market preparation. As our new products are fully introduced we will be able to further strengthen our position in the market.
Sales to the North American market and Europe make up 91 per cent of total sales for the quarter. The Asian market continued at a lower level than the previous year, largely due to the fact that marketing approval required for new products had not yet been granted in China. After the close of the quarter,
January 1–September 30, 2014
- Net sales increased by 26 % to SEK 144.4 million (115).
- Operating profit increased to SEK 26 million (9.6).
- The operating margin increased to 18 % (8.4).
- Profit before tax increased to SEK 26.8 million (8.4).
- Earnings per share increased to SEK 0.83 (0.26).
Significant events after the close of the quarter
- Zlakto Rihter was appointed as President/CEO, and starts no later than on February the 1st , 2015.
- Sysmex DI-60 and CellaVision®DM1200 approved by the CFDA to be sold in China.
- VP Engineering appointed on November 1st, 2014.
however, both Sysmex DI-60 and CellaVision®DM1200 received this approval, which provides the conditions for the growth we see before us in China and other countries in the region.
During the quarter a technical pre-study was started to evaluate the new technology platform acquired in the previous quarter. The pre-study is expected to be completed by the end of the year and the long-term ambition with this platform is to develop new products for laboratories that are smaller than those that have made up our target market to date. With three quarters behind us we are proud to deliver the strongest financial performance ever in the history of the company.
Zlatko Rihter has been appointed President/CEO, starting on February the 1st 2015, and I will leave my position as President/CEO of CellaVision on the last day of December.
It has been a fantastic journey that I have participated in – from a development project to a global company with products in some 50 countries. I want to thank all employees, shareholders and partners for entrusting the leadership of CellaVision to me during my 16 years as President/CEO. At the same time I wish Zlatko Rihter and CellaVision much continued success!
Yvonne Mårtensson, President and Chief Executive Officer

Sales, earnings and investment
July 1–September 30
Net sales for the Group in the third quarter were SEK 47.0 million (45.1), an increase of 4 per cent compared with the corresponding period in 2013. CellaVision invoices more than 90 per cent of its sales in euro or dollars, which is why exchange rate changes have an impact on the company's sales. Total exchange rate impact including forward cover was +4.5 per cent for euro and +1,8 percent for dollars compared with the same quarter in 2013.
The gross margin for the quarter was 65 per cent (61). CellaVision usually has great variations in gross margins between individual quarters, which is due to the distribution of sales via distributors as against own sales companies, as well as the product mix. Gross profit in the third quarter was reduced by SEK 1.2 million for an impairment loss on intangible assets.
Total operating expenses for the third quarter was SEK 22.7 million, an increase compared to the same quarter last year (16.8). This increase is partly due to fact that in 2013 a reserve of SEK 2.5 million regarding incentive program was dissolved.
CellaVision is conducting several development projects, aimed at strengthening the company's product portfolio in relation to customers in the field of hematology. Capitalized expenditure for development projects was SEK 0.3 million (1.3) for the quarter.
Investments in property, plant and equipment during the quarter amounted to SEK 0.6 million (0.0). Tax paid during the quarter was SEK 1.3 million (0.0) and refers to profits in subsidiaries.
Seasonal variations
Like others in the medical devices industry selling capital equipment, CellaVision's inflow of orders is unevenly distributed over the year, with a strong fourth quarter historically. This is due to the distributors' sales, inventory levels and agreed volumes, as well as the fact that the health care investment budget is released late in the year. Consequently, the variation in order volume in individual quarters may be great in the different geographical regions.
Financial targets
Our objective is to create a global standard for digital microscopy in the sub-field hematology, aiming in the long term to be a world leading supplier in several sub-fields of laboratory medicine. The objective is broken down into important financial targets.
- • Sales growth ≥15% Increase sales over an economic cycle by an average of at least 15 percent per year.
- Operating margin >15 % The annual operating margin is to exceed 15 per cent.
Net sales, Q3 47,0 MSEK
Operating margin, rolling 12 months 20,2 %
Development in geographical markets
North America
Sales in North America amounted to SEK 22.4 million, an increase of 15 per cent compared with the corresponding quarter in 2013. The company notes some reduction in sales compared with the previous quarter, mainly due to the transition from the discontinued DM96 analyzer to the new DM9600.
The DM9600 was launched in the American market at the AACC (American Association for Clinical Chemistry) Annual Meeting & Clinical Lab Expo in Chicago at the end of July. The analyzer became available towards the end of the quarter via our partners and that was when the first orders were received.
During the quarter the new software application for advanced analysis of red blood cells, the Advanced RBC Application, was approved for sale in Canada. The application was well-received by customers in the Canadian market and the first order was registered. The product has not yet been approved for sale in the USA.
Europe
The sales in Europe continued to increase also in the third quarter, amounting to SEK 20.5 million, an increase of 27 per cent compared with the corresponding quarter in 2013. CellaVision is seeing continued wide interest in automated solutions in hematology and interest in the integrated Sysmex analyzer, the DI-60, is considerable. Sales have been made to new customers with no previous digital morphology systems, but also as a replacement for the older DM96 analyzer.
The first DM9600 analyzers were sold in the quarter. Introduction of the new product has started in several markets, but is expected to achieve its full sales potential only when necessary initial marketing initiatives from our partners have been carried out.
The new Advanced RBC Application has attracted great interest and several market studies have been initiated in Europe. Since the application generates an entirely new working method for the customer the results of these evaluations will serve as guidance for the optimal use of the product. Before these studies are published we can expect a somewhat cautious attitude from the market.
Strong sales in North America
Sales continued to increase in Europe in the third quarter
Asia and the Pacific region
Sales in the third quarter amounted to SEK 4.1 million, which is a decrease of 57 per cent compared with the corresponding quarter in 2013 and somewhat lower than the previous quarter. The weaker sales are due partly to the phase-out of the DM96 and partly to the fact that neither the Sysmex DI-60 nor the DM9600 had been approved for sale to China by the Chinese Food and Drug Administration (CFDA).
After the close of the quarter the DI-60 and the DM1200 were approved for China, which means that the products can start to be sold in the fourth quarter. Pent-up demand for the DI-60 is expected and the DM1200 will probably be an interesting product for medium-sized hospitals.
The CFDA process for the DM9600 has been started and approval is expected in the second half of 2015. Until then the DM96 will continue to be available on the Chinese market.
Research and Development
CellaVision is continually conducting a number of development projects, aimed at strengthening the product portfolio in relation to customers in the field of hematology.
In the previous quarter a new technology platform was acquired, aimed at giving CellaVision the possibility of extending its long-term product portfolio to include cost-effective products for smaller laboratories. These are not included in the company's current target market, which is limited to large laboratories.
During the quarter a pre-study was initiated for continued evaluation of how to best make the technology platform the basis for the next major development project.
The company continuously capitalizes expenditure on new development. Capitalized expenditure for development projects was SEK 0.3 million (1.3) for the quarter.
The decrease is related to the fact that two major development projects were completed at the end of Q2. Pre-studies of new projects are ongoing but not yet in phase to be capitalized.
Financing
The Group's cash and cash equivalents at the close of the quarter amounted to SEK 58.5 million (42.6). Cash flow from operating activities for the quarter was SEK 13.3 million (1.2).
Total cash flow for the quarter was SEK 12.3 million (1.5).
Parent company
Parent company sales in the quarter were SEK 44.7 million (42.5). Profit before tax was SEK 6.4 million (8.4). The parent company has recognized an impairment loss on receivables in the Japanese subsidiary of SEK 1,7 million.
The impairment loss is due to the adoption of the business model in Japan where the company´s sales to a larger extent takes place through partners instead of directly through the subsidiary. This means that invoicing and business flows go via the parent company.
The parent company's investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets during the quarter amounted to SEK 0.9 million (1.3) and the cash flow to SEK 12.0 million (2.0). For other finacial data refer to the data of the Group.
Personnel
The number of employees of the Group, restated as full-time equivalents, was 72 (68) at the close of the period. Of these, 44 were men (40) and 28 women (28).
Information concerning risks and uncertainties
Reduced demand and changes in exchange rates constitute uncertainties but not material risks. For a more detailed description of the risks and uncertainties facing CellaVision, please refer to the risk and sensitivity analysis in the Annual Report for 2013.

Review Report
To the Board of Directors of CellaVision AB Corporate identity number 556500-0998
Introduction
We have performed a review of the interim report for CellaVision AB (publ.) as at September 30, 2014 and the nine-month period ending on that date. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for preparing and presenting this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
Emphasis and scope of the review
We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing standards. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion that is expressed on the basis of a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion based on an audit.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim report does not, in all material respects, accord with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act and, for the parent company, with the Annual Accounts Act.
