IMPORTANT PROGRESS IN ESTABLISHING REFERENCE CENTERS WITHIN DIGITAL PATHOLOGY
FREDRIK PALM, THE COMPANY'S CEO COMMENTED:
Sales in the first quarter ended at 20.3 MSEK, which is 14% lower than previous quarter. While the pandemic continues to slow sales, sales decreases may also to a certain extent be related to quarterly variations. Currency exchange rates affected sales by -0.5 MSEK in comparison with previous quarter and -1.6 MSEK compared with last year's corresponding quarter. EBITDA ended at -1.1 MSEK, as our ongoing product development projects have not yet reached capitalization stage. Cash position was 47.8 MSEK at the end of the quarter.
Digital Pathology
We continue to focus on market entrance, through installations and evaluations at key reference centers in several important markets in Europe. INIFY Prostate Screening was installed for evaluation in Vall d'Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona, a region where digitalization is picking up speed.
The first quarter saw the addition of another important reference center, with installation carried out at Hôpital de Bicêtre in Paris, a fully digitalized, high-throughput laboratory in the forefront of digital pathology in France.
Additionally, we held a well-visited webinar with Dr Filippo Fraggetta, head of our reference center at Cannizzaro Hospital in Catania, Italy. During the webinar, preliminary results from the ongoing clinical study First Path were presented. The results indicate that using INIFY Prostate decreases variance between pathologists, which will benefit referrals and patients in the longer term. Dr Fraggetta also confirmed that INIFY is easy to install and user-friendly – important factors when digitalizing laboratories and easing the pathologists' heavy workload.
In parallel, we proceeded with development of the next-generation product for prostate, as well as research within colorectal cancer.
Medical Imaging
The first quarter revenues show a slight notch compared to the last three quarters' positive trend curve. However, it is normal for us to see lower sales in the first quarter of the fiscal year compared with the fourth quarter. It is obvious that catching up during the pandemic is taking longer than anyone could have anticipated. Ultrasound is still the largest modality, although also the area which has taken the largest toll during the pandemic. Despite the slight decline of this quarter, we are optimistic about maintaining solid revenue levels for 2021, as there is clearly a built-up need to replace systems. Although new sales show a slight lag, we continue to see strong interest from our current customers wanting to upgrade to our new product portfolio, both within Ultrasound (Rivent) and X-ray (Altumira).
While sales in Europe appear to have declined significantly in the first quarter, this is actually related to two customers being shifted to our Asian sales as production sites have been moved to that region. From now on, sales in Europe will be reported from this level.
During the first quarter, we continued our research within Ultrasound and have seen some interesting results in certain areas. We have also continued our internal development of tools that will enhance our ability to perform faster customer integrations, both remotely and on site.
In February, we attended the virtual European Conference of Radiology (ECR), where we initiated several interesting discussions with potential customers. We also completed our first global LinkedIn campaign, aimed at key decision makers of both new and current customers. We saw a significant increase in visits to our social media channels as well as to our website. Lessons learned from this campaign will serve as valuable input in the further development of our Digital Marketing strategy.
Summary
Sales continue to be affected by the pandemic situation, but the first quarter's lower level in comparison with the previous quarter is in part related to quarterly variations. What is most important is that there is no lack of interest or demand, nor are there any customer losses within medical imaging, so it is just a matter of persistence until we can return to positive sales development.
Within digital pathology, we are making progress with selected reference laboratories in Europe, and several new centers have started evaluations during the quarter. Preliminary results from the first evaluations have begun to arrive, and so far, they confirm our intended added values of implementing our decision support tool in the digital workflow.
Solid financials, paired with a close dialogue with present and prospective customers, allow us to continue developing the company further under the present circumstances. With ongoing vaccination programs we can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and we look forward to a gradual return to a reality with physical meetings and the sales growth we normally would expect.
