  • Net sales decreased by 5.0% to SEK 51.5 million (54.2).
  • The operaƟ ng profi t was SEK 8.3 million (10.8).
  • The operaƟ ng margin was 16.0 % (19.9).
  • The pre-tax profi t was SEK 7.7 million (11.4).

CEO's comments

AŌ er seven quarters of growth, sales decreased in the second quarter by fi ve percent compared to the strong quarter in 2014, when growth was 50 percent. EMEA conƟ nues to show a strong trend with 35 percent growth while both Americas (-17 %) and APAC (-63 %) had decreasing sales. The operaƟ ng margin was in line with expectaƟ ons at 16 percent.

During the quarter we had a posiƟ ve exchange rate effect for both EUR and USD with a posiƟ ve impact on sales of about ten percent compared with the same period in the previous year.

As previously communicated, we have revised our fi nancial targets concerning the operaƟ ng margin from 15 % to 20 % over an economic cycle. The main reason for the new target is the scalable and cost-eff ecƟ ve business model.

CellaVision conƟ nues to successfully penetrate the veterinary market segment. AŌ er the close of the second quarter we received a follow-up order of more than SEK 30 million for a customer with a large number of laboratories in North America. The order will be delivered and installed before the end of 2015.

The veterinary market segment is a new segment for us that we iniƟ ally defi ned as limited and strongly consolidated between a few major actors. We now regard the veterinary market segment more posiƟ vely for two reasons; CellaVision's technology adds greater value and the market segment probably has greater potenƟ al than iniƟ ally esƟ mated.

January 1–June 30, 2015

  • Net sales increased by 6.0% to SEK 103.3 million (97.4).
  • The operaƟ ng profi t increased to SEK 18.8 million (18.3).
  • The operaƟ ng margin decreased to 18.2% (18.8).
  • The pre-tax profi t decreased to SEK 18.5 million (18.9).
  • Earnings per share decreased to SEK 0.55 (0.63).

Signifi cant post quarter events

  • Follow-up order in the veterinary market worth more than SEK 30 million and expected operaƟ ng profi t for the full year 2015 exceeding SEK 65 million (42.8).
  • Revised operaƟ ng margin target from 15% to 20% over an economic cycle.

CellaVision's soluƟ on for veterinary laboratories makes centralizaƟ on of the laboratories' experƟ se possible, which contributes to cost savings and more eff ecƟ ve workfl ows. With the increased analyƟ cal capacity, more blood samples can be analyzed than before. In future CellaVision will conƟ nue to evaluate and address the veterinary medicine market segment to map potenƟ al for future business.

During the quarter CellaVision introduced an organiza-Ɵ onal change to develop our scalable and cost-eff ecƟ ve business model. CellaVision has established a global funcƟ on-oriented organizaƟ on including market support organizaƟ ons with a local presence in our key regions. Apart from this, we will further develop our technology with innovaƟ ons close to the customer through a strengthened product manager organizaƟ on and development of our research and development organizaƟ on towards an agile working method. The ambiƟ on is to create a fl eet-footed organizaƟ on with clear roles to meet the requirements and needs of the market.

CellaVision conƟ nues to maintain a high pace of innovaƟ on and during the quarter launched CellaVision® Remote Review SoŌ ware Vet intended for the veterinary market. In addiƟ on to this is the technical pre-study for the future technology plaƞ orm that targets the market segment not yet penetrated by CellaVision of about 100 000 small and mid-size laboratories in human hematology proceeding according to plan.

Sales, earnings and investment

April 1 - June 30

Net sales for the Group in the second quarter were SEK 51.5 million (54.2), a decrease of fi ve percent compared with the corresponding period in 2014. CellaVision invoices more than 90 percent of sales in EUR or USD, which means that exchange rate fl uctuaƟ ons have a major impact on the company's reported sales. Adjusted for exchange rate eff ects, sales decreased by 15 percent compared with the corresponding quarter in 2014.

The gross margin for the quarter was 71 percent (67). CellaVision usually has variaƟ ons in gross margins between individual quarters, which is due to the distribuƟ on of sales via distributors as against own sales companies, as well as the product mix sold.

Total operaƟ ng expenses for the second quarter were SEK 28.4 million (25.5). In the second quarter last year a provision was made for costs related to the change of President/CEO. Despite last year's provision the costs have increased, which is partly due to increasing R&D costs. In addiƟ on has the non-capitalized R&D costs increased as many of the projects are in the pre-study phase. CellaVision has also increased investments in the markeƟ ng support organizaƟ on in order to drive sales.

CellaVision is conducƟ ng several development projects, aimed at strengthening the company's product off ering to customers in the fi eld of hematology. Capitalized expenditure for development projects was SEK 1.8 million for the quarter. Last year the corresponding fi gure was SEK 7.7 million, of which SEK 4.3 million referred to acquisiƟ on of a new technology plaƞ orm.

The operaƟ ng profi t for the quarter was SEK 8.3 million (10.8) with an operaƟ ng margin of 16.0 percent (19.9).

Investments in property, plant and equipment during the quarter amounted to SEK 0.0 million (0.3).

Seasonal variations

CellaVision has an unevenly distributed order fl ow over the year, depending on the distributors' sales, inventory levels and agreed volumes. The variaƟ on in order volume in individual quarters may be great in the diff erent geographical regions.

Financial targets

Our objecƟ ve is to create a global standard for digital microscopy in the sub-fi eld hematology, aiming in the long term to be a world leading supplier in several sub-fi elds of laboratory medicine. The objecƟ ve is broken down into two fi nancial targets.

  • Sales growth ≥15% Increase sales over an economic cycle by an average of at least 15 percent per year.
  • OperaƟ ng margin >20 % The operaƟ ng margin is to exceed 20 percent over an economic cycle.

Sales in the Americas amounted to SEK 27.1 million (32.5), which means a decrease of 17 percent (in local currencies -28 percent) compared with the corresponding quarter in 2014.

The decrease is mainly explained by changes in sales in the product mix, with a lower proporƟ on of soŌ ware compared with the historically strong comparaƟ ve quarter in 2014. The rate of sales of analyzers in the Americas is at the same level in relaƟ on to the comparaƟ ve quarter of 2014.

Development of the replacement market is slower in the Americas than in EMEA since CellaVision's products were introduced a couple of years later in the American market.

During the quarter CellaVision launched the CellaVision® Remote Review SoŌ ware Vet, which is specially developed for the needs of the veterinary market and enables laboratory chains working in networks to share test results and cell images eff ecƟ vely.

the Middle East largely due to the markeƟ ng acƟ viƟ es conducted by CellaVision's distribuƟ on partners in the region. During the year CellaVision aims to increase its direct presence in these markets by developing the company's markeƟ ng support organizaƟ on to strengthen CellaVision's establishment in the region.

APAC

CellaVision's sales in the second quarter fell to SEK 1.9 million (4.9) in the region. During the quarter sales in Japan developed in line with the company's expectaƟ ons. Sales in China has developed below expectaƟ ons mainly because of a slow start of launched products.

CellaVision is sƟ ll in the commercial start-up phase in China and will conƟ nue to fl uctuate between quarters. Both market penetraƟ on and sales are sƟ ll at a low level.

During the quarter the markeƟ ng support organizaƟ on in China was augmented through the recruitment of an APAC Director to be responsible for and conduct sales and markeƟ ng acƟ viƟ es in the region. This iniƟ aƟ ve also includes establishing a regional offi ce in Shanghai.

At the end of the quarter the Siemens distribuƟ on agreement was extended to include China. In that way Siemens becomes CellaVision's fourth distribuƟ on partner in the Chinese market.

Research and Development

CellaVision has several development projects conƟ nually in progress, aimed at further strengthening of the product porƞ olio.

During the quarter development resources were focused on compleƟ ng new soŌ ware for the veterinary market with soluƟ ons for larger, centralized networks, the CellaVision® Remote Review SoŌ ware Vet. AŌ er an extensive and successful beta test on site at the customer the soŌ ware is now ready and released on the market. The soŌ ware will be further developed with a view to a release for the human market as well.

The pre-study to produce products for small and mid-size laboratories conƟ nued during the quarter and prototypes were produced. The work of adapƟ ng the soŌ ware to the prototypes is in progress and will thereaŌ er be evaluated.

During the quarter CellaVision conƟ nued to conduct several patent cases regarding both geographical expansion of already patented invenƟ ons and as yet unpatented invenƟ ons. CellaVision's patent porƞ olio today consists of 23 patent families covering 57 registered patents.

Accounting policies

The Group applies InternaƟ onal Financial ReporƟ ng Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the EU. This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial ReporƟ ng, the Annual Accounts Act and the Nasdaq OMX Stockholm Rule Book for Issuers. The parent company applies the Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial ReporƟ ng Board recommendaƟ on RFR 2 AccounƟ ng for Legal EnƟƟ es. The accounƟ ng policies and calculaƟ on methods applied are consistent with those described in the annual report for 2014.
