CONTEXTVISION AB 556377-8900//SECOND QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL REPORT/PAGE 2 OF 15
CONTINUOUS PROFITABLE GROWTH WITH STRONG MARGINS
Gerald Pötzsch, THE COMPANY'S CEO, COMMENTED:
Net sales for Q2 reached SEK 33.6 M (31.0), which is a record Q2 in the history of the company. Likewise, net sales for the first sixth months with SEK 66.2 M (59.7) is also a record high. The EBITDA reached SEK 16.0 M (15.5) for Q2, and SEK 29.2 M (24.8) for the first six months. Our cash position was 51.8 MSEK at the end of the quarter following dividends to shareholders of 11.6 M.
The company delivers continued profitable growth of 8.4% in net sales, strengthening the core business of Image Enhancement. There is a continued successful effort in increasing license revenue, by both increasing the share of wallet with larger customers and winning new business with strategic partners and new accounts, mainly in Asia. Versus previous quarter, growth was supported in particular by onsite customer visits and implementation as travel restrictions to Korea, Japan, and China have been lifted after the pandemic.
Currency fluctuations due to a continued depreciation of the Swedish Krona added 2.4 M in this quarter, leading to a 48% EBITDA margin. Operating expenses (OPEX) in the second quarter have increased compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the recovery of travel costs following the pandemic, but they have been kept below the expenses of the previous quarter.
The initial six months of the year have demonstrated robust growth, marked by an 11% increase in net sales and 42% EBITDA for the core business. Our service team has successfully finalized numerous product implementations, paving the way for anticipated license revenues starting from the fourth quarter of this year.
All in all, Q2 and the first half of the year are hitting an all-time high, and together with a particularly strong margin development have put the company in a very good position for a strong overall financial year 2023.
Delivering profitable growth in core business while entering new market segments
Behind the positive development of new customers and contracts during the first half year is the release of upgrades to our RIVENT image enhancement products in Ultrasound, presenting fine details and thin lines in 2D as well as smooth rendered surfaces with clear detail resolution in 3D. These features were exhibited at ECR (European Congress of Radiology in Vienna) and at CMEF (China International Medical Equipment Fair) in Shanghai for the first time after the pandemic. There we saw an increased interest from the Chinese market and Chinese manufacturers in our offerings and new features. Additionally, we noticed an extra focus on
Mobile Ultrasound solutions, including compact and handheld systems, which is in line with global predictions.
New product developments for our X-ray ALTUMIRA line are proceeding smoothly and in alignment with the established development path. Personnel costs in the quarter were activated respectively, with an increase compared to first quarter.
In addition to the portfolio, we are expanding our services organization to serve customers with more consulting and support services. This is estimated to be an incremental revenue generator, bearing fruit already during the fall. In preparation we have continued to evolve with a new setup for service organization, and key recruitments have been completed.
With a very strong performance in our core business, it is time to look forward. The company has therefore initiated a growth program with dedicated investments to grow the portfolio beyond the current image enhancement focus and into the Point of Care Ultrasound segment, making ultrasound systems easy to use for new and less trained user groups. This innovation will unlock opportunities for earlier diagnosis and more cost-efficient follow ups especially for chronic diseases. During the first half year, the strategic prework has been completed, new organizational structures have been defined for the R&D organization, and key, initiated recruitments have been made.
Summary:
With a record revenue, a 48% EBITDA, a solid cash position, and a strong customer base with the largest OEMs in the industry contracted, as well as having started executing our growth strategy, the future of ContextVision looks very bright.

DEFINITIONS
ContextVision presents certain financial measures in the financial statements that are not defined under IFRS. ContextVision believes that these measures provide useful supplementary information to investors and the management as they allow for evaluation of ContextVision's performance. Because not all companies calculate the financial figures in the same way, these are not always comparable to measures used by other companies.
| Earnings per share after tax (Return on equity) from continued operations | Net result for the period as a percentage of the average number of shares | Earnings per share shows the group's results in relation to shares and provides investors with additional information regarding the group's profitability. |
|---|---|---|
| Operating margin from continued operations | Operating income excluding non-recurring items as a percentage of net sales | The operating margin is helpful for investors when assessing the group's potential for dividends. |
| Profit margin from continued operations | Result after financial items as a percentage of net sales | The profit margin shows the group's results per SEK revenue and is of interest for both the group and for investors. |
| Solidity (Equity ratio) from continued operations | Equity at period end as a percentage of total assets | The equity ratio shows the group's long-term ability to pay its debts and is a complement to other key figures. It helps investors assess the possibility of dividends. |
| EBITDA from continued operations | Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization | EBITDA shows the group's underlying development, which is valuable as an indication of the group's underlying cash-generating capacity. |
