THE COMPANY AIMS TO EXTEND ITS SCOPE WITHIN PATHOLOGY AND BUILD ITS FIRST MODERN DIGITAL PATHOLOGY LAB. YET ANOTHER RECORD PERFORMANCE IN SALES.
FREDRIK PALM, THE COMPANY'S CEO COMMENTED:
Sales in the third quarter ended at 26 MSEK, an increase of 7% compared with the previous quarter and an increase of 18% compared with Q3 last year. EBITDA ended at 5.7 MSEK. Cash position was 48.1 MSEK at the end of the quarter.
Adding a pathology lab business
After more than five years of investment in technology, application knowledge and networking with the digital pathology profession, the picture has become clear. Extending the business by building a fully digital laboratory from scratch will enable us to advance faster and create greater value for patients, clinicians, and pathologists. An internal research project to investigate this path has been ongoing for quite some time, and the findings and conclusions in the project led to a board decision to proceed.
INIFY Prostate is, of course, the core machine learning technology intended to be seamlessly integrated in the lab. Naturally we aim to focus on prostate cancer diagnosis as a start. Statistical process control over the entire chain, from specimen delivery to diagnostic report, will enable an innovative pathology service with the highest efficiency and diagnostic quality.
First steps are already taken. Negotiations have been initiated regarding lab premises in Stockholm in proximity to world-class medical research and healthcare. We have recruited an experienced lab manager who will join us full-time in January 2022 – a vital team member in the construction and operation of the lab. There are plans to recruit medical professionals including pathologists, on a both employee and consultant basis, as the business is built up.
In connection with this, the board of directors has instructed the management to create a subsidiary for the intended laboratory operations.
Digital Pathology – INIFY progress
We have intensified evaluations of INIFY Prostate, and multiple hospital labs have now seen the algorithm perform on their own data. Feedback from pathologists has been very positive regarding the predictions made. However, we have concluded that the pathology society – labs as well as all involved suppliers – needs to intensify cooperation efforts to achieve an effective digital clinical workflow for all aspects of the pathology process.
One highlight during the quarter was the European Congress of Pathology in August, where we presented results from our EU multicenter study. The study showed that INIFY Prostate is robust across the four different sites involved, and that the pathologists and surrounding staff were positive to the product's performance.
Announced just recently, we are also very excited about the first results from our cooperation with Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center and Tufts Medical Center in Boston. Presented at the Pathology Visions congress in Las Vegas, the results showed an impressive 100% sensitivity when it came to identifying small cancer areas. The presentations confirmed that INIFY delivers high accuracy independently of scanner and staining variations, which will prove valuable for pathologists and clinicians in their demanding prostate cancer diagnosis workflow.
Lastly, at Pathology Visions, we presented our first research results within the colon cancer area. We were happy to see that the pathologists achieved about 30% faster diagnosis with maintained quality. This is very encouraging for further steps towards a future product.
Medical Imaging
Q3 has been an exciting quarter as we have finally been able to start traveling to meet our customers again. That said, the pandemic has proven that we can both sell and deliver our solutions through 100% virtual contacts. In just the last quarter we have closed several new contracts, with implementation initiated immediately after signing.
Sales were strong in the quarter, exceptional orders in America took us to yet another quarterly sales record. We expect sales growth in America compared with historical numbers, but it will most likely be more evenly distributed over the year, going forward.
During the period, we have completed several key recruitments, and started onboarding of – amongst others – a product manager for Ultrasound, a project manager, and a research scientist. In addition, we have made good progress with our future product portfolio, which we aim to launch at RSNA later in the year.
Summary
We wrap up yet another eventful period, in which we received important confirmation regarding the performance of our pathology product for prostate, and our research work within colorectal cancer.
Strong sales continue to give signals of a stepwise return to our expected pre-pandemic growth plan. With important organization additions strengthening our team, we look forward to Q4 and a strong year finish, while preparing for a successful 2022.
The most significant advancement, however, is our plan to set up a new, ultra-modern pathology lab. This confirms our strong dedication to substantially advancing digitalization within pathology, for the best of both patients and the medical profession.
