CEO's comments
Sales continue to be strong, with growth of 50 percent and an operating margin of 20 percent. Despite the profit being compared with the weak second quarter of 2013 this growth is very positive. Also in this quarter the North American market primarily accounts for the sales growth (+73 %) where we see continued sound development. EMEA also reports good sales growth (+72 %) and is now at a stabilized level.
During the quarter CellaVision received another award; the Bede Prize. This confirms that our team has created a new market in health care by driving a paradigm shift from manual to digital microscopy. Of the available market we have now taken just over eleven percent and in our present market segment CellaVision's products lead with an approximate market share of 95 percent.
We see growing interest in the market for digital solutions and increasing competition, with more similar products and new solutions, not least in China. As part of strengthening our product portfolio a new technology platform was acquired that we intend to

- Operating profit increased to SEK 18.3 million (-1.0).

use as a basis for an analyzer for smaller laboratories presently not included in our target market. With the new platform we may increase the potential numbers of customers three times to 45,000 laboratories. The potential world market will increase about 30 percent to 10 billion SEK. However, we estimate that it could take a couple of years before these products are available.
Our new products, the CellaVision® DM9600 and the Advanced RBC Application, have had a very positive reception, which strengthens our market position and is a recognition of our ability to develop technological solutions. The products will be shown at the AACC Annual Meeting in Chicago at the end of July and the first analyzers were delivered at the start of the month. Work still remains to be done on registration and market introductions to replace our most sold product, the DM96, with the DM9600. As a result of this sales of the DM9600 are expected to be somewhat slow, which may impact the next quarter.

Sales, earnings and investment
April 1 - June 30
In the second quarter of 2014 net sales for the Group amounted to SEK 54.2 million (36.1), an increase of 50 percent compared with the same period in 2013.
CellaVision invoices more than 90 percent of its sales in euro or dollars and thus exchange rate changes have impact on the company's sales. Total exchange rate impact including forward cover was +0.4 percent for euro and -0.8 percent for dollars compared with the same quarter of 2013.
The gross margin for the quarter was 67 percent (65). CellaVision usually has large gross margin variations from quarter to quarter. This is dependent on the share of sales via distributors or via CellaVision's own sales companies and the product mix.
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 7.7 million (6.0) during the quarter, of which SEK 4.3 million refers to the acquisition of a new technology platform from the Clear Lake Medical Foundation.
Investments in property, plant and equipment during the quarter amounted to SEK 0.3 million (0.2).
During the quarter it was announced that Yvonne Mårtensson will leave the post of President/CEO. Expenses of SEK 3.5 million connected to the succession were charged to income for the quarter.
Seasonal variations
Like others in the medical devices industry selling capital equipment, CellaVision's inflow of orders is unevenly distributed over the year, historically with a strong fourth quarter, depending on distributors' sales, inventory levels and contracted volumes and the fact that parts of the healthcare investment budget are 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 per cent per year.
- Operating margin >15 % The annual operating margin is to exceed 15 percent.
Net sales, Q2 54.2 MSEK
Operating margin, rolling 12 months 21.8 %

Development in geographical markets
North America
The company sees continued strong demand for CellaVision's products in the USA. The previous weak rate of investment in large items of laboratory equipment has improved, as reflected in sales of CellaVision's products, both analyzers and software. Sysmex, Beckman and Siemens report a high level of activity in the American market and have all included CellaVision analyzers in their sales for the past quarter. Sales in Canada continue to be weak, despite increased market penetration. One reason for the weak sales is lack of financing for this type of laboratory investment.
Sales for CellaVision in North America increased to SEK 32.5 million, an increase of 73 percent compared with the same quarter in 2013. The company can also see sales growth compared with the first quarter this year, despite slowing sales of the outgoing product DM96. The replacement product, DM9600, is now commercially available in the USA and will be launched on the
American market during the AACC (American Association for Clinical Chemistry) annual meeting in Chicago at the end of July. Introduction of the product to CellaVision's partners will take place in stages, which may initially mean slow sales. The new software application for in-depth analysis of red blood cells, the Advanced RBC Application, will require FDA approval in the USA, which the company will soon apply for. Both products will be sold by the company's global distributor network.
Europe
Sales and activity in the region continue to increase and, as in the previous quarter, the company sees an increased number of tenders and sales in previously weak regions such as the Nordics and southern Europe. A fall in sales of the outgoing DM96 analyzer has also been noted in Europe. As many laboratories that renew their hematology equipment prefer an automated analysis line
Stabilized sales in Europe
the integrated DI-60 analyzer from Sysmex has continued to attract great interest. CellaVision's new products, the DM9600 and Advanced RBC Application, were presented at the ISLH trade fair in the Netherlands in May. Interest in both products was great from both partners and end customers. The products will be available for sale in Europe from the third quarter. The introduction by the company's partners in Europe will also take place gradually. This, combined with evaluation by customers before any purchase may mean that it will take another quarter before sales of these new products gets under way.
Sales in the region amounted to SEK 16.7 million, an increase of 72 percent compared with 2013. The sales level is in line with the previous quarter, despite reduced sales of the DM96.
Asia and the Pacific region
CellaVision's sales in the second quarter were SEK 4.9 million, which is a decrease of 36 percent compared with the same quarter in 2013. Compared with the first quarter this year we can nevertheless note increased sales.
CellaVision assesses that interest and awareness in China regarding digital morphology and CellaVision's system are great. Despite this there is a cautious attitude among our customers while waiting for the replacement analyzer for the DM96, which is the only product that has market approval in China. The extensive CFDA processes for market approval of the DM1200, DI-60 and DM9600 are in progress and clearance for both the DM1200 and the DI-60 is expected in 2014.
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.
CellaVision has completed development of the DM9600, the successor to our most sold analyzer to date, the DM96. The DM9600 is based on the same patented hardware platform as our other two analyzers (DM1200 and DI-60), which delivers synergy effects for partners, end customers and not least at the production stage. The company has also completed development of the new software application for in-depth analysis of red blood cells, the Advanced RBC Application.
CellaVision has acquired a new technology platform from an American high tech company, Clear Lake Medical Foundation, specialists in digital microscopy. The technology acquisition gives CellaVision the opportunity to extend its long-term product portfolio to include cost-effective products for small laboratories that are outside the current target market. During the quarter CellaVision started to evaluate the possibilities of how the technology platform can best form the basis for the next development project. A pre-study will soon be initiated to enable the company to start a new technology project in the fall.
The company continuously capitalizes expenditure on new development. Capitalized expenditure for development projects was SEK 7.7 million (6.0) during the period, of which SEK 4.3 million refers to the acquisition from the Clear Lake Medical Foundation.
Financing
In May SEK 11.9 million was distributed as dividends to shareholders. The Group's cash and cash equivalents at the close of the quarter amounted to SEK 46.2 million (41.1).
CellaVision's financial position has strengthened over time and now allows the company to cease factoring its customer invoices. This means a saving of SEK 0.5 million per year on interest and transaction expenses. The one-off effect on the cash flow will total SEK 15 million, of which SEK 13 million has been charged to the second quarter this year. During the quarter the company invested in a new technology platform that reduced the cash balance by SEK 4.3 million.
Cash flow from operating activities for the quarter was SEK 2.5 million (4.2).
Total cash flow for the quarter was SEK -30 million (-11.4).
Parent company
Parent company sales in the quarter were SEK 51.8 million (32.8). Profit before tax was SEK 10.4 million (-0.3).
The parent company's investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets during the quarter amounted to SEK 8.0 million (6.6) and the cash flow was SEK -34.7 million (-11.2).
Personnel
The number of employees of the Group, restated as full-time equivalents, was 68 (68) at the close of the period. Of these, 42 were men (41) and 26 women (27).
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.

Significant events after the
period close
The DM9600 analyzer is commercially available in Europe and the USA. The first instruments were delivered according to plan at the beginning of July. Deliveries of analyzers have been made to our partners both in the USA and Europe. The Advanced RBC Application software is available in Europe but requires FDA approval for the USA.

New standards and interpretations that came into force on January 1, 2014 have not had any impact on CellaVision's financial reporting for the interim report period.
Financial instruments
Derivatives held for foreign currency hedging are valued at level 2, financial instruments where fair value is determined on the basis of valuation models based on other observable data for the asset or liability than listed prices included in level 1, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Currency forwards are valued on the basis of observable information referring to exchange rates on the balance sheet date and market rates for remaining maturities. The value of CellaVision's derivatives is SEK -1.2 million at June 30, 2014.
The carrying amount of financial instruments measured at amortized cost is consistent with fair value at June 30, 2014.
Segment reporting
CellaVision's operations only comprise one operating segment; automated microscopy systems in the field of hematology, and therefore reference is made to the income statement and balance sheet regarding operating segment reporting.
