Building for the future and leading innovation
As we step into 2024, we have actively been laying the foundations for the future. Our presence at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR) has opened doors to new promising customer relationships, while internally, we're fine-tuning our processes for greater agility in product releases. We are also continuing our innovation within Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS), looking forward to announcing exciting advancements as we progress.
The first quarter of the year has financially been stronger than expected. We reached net sales of 34.7 MSEK, displaying a growth of 7.1% compared to the same period last year. EBITDA reached 14 MSEK with an EBITDA margin of 40.3% adjusted for investments in POCUS amounting to 1.2 MSEK (3.4% of net sales). The growing net sales can mainly be explained by favorable timing of large orders in the first quarter. However, we see market indicators suggesting a potential downturn in sales for some of our customers in Asia, which could impact us ahead.
In March, our attendance at ECR was marked by promising discussions with potential customers. We engaged in follow-up conversations with familiar prospects, including several large businesses, and we initiated dialogue with numerous new potential customers.
For many years, we have excelled in fostering our customer relationships. We consistently build new connections while expanding existing ones, thereby increasing our share of wallet. A testament to our success is the 25th anniversary of our partnership with a key customer this quarter – an occasion we proudly celebrated. With several partnerships exceeding a decade, we not only demonstrate the deep trust our customers place in us, but also affirm our long-lasting position as best in class. Our commitment to technological leadership remains unwavering, as we continue to keep our innovation efforts at a high pace.
During the quarter, we have also seen advancements in our process of refining our product development processes. This is something that will enhance our agility by accelerating the frequency of product releases, a key driver as we gear up for scaling the business in the long-run and moving further with our POCUS-program.
Looking at POCUS, we are methodically advancing, transforming into data quality to unlock new revenue streams. Our vision for growth in this sector is substantial, and with our expertise, I am confident of achieving considerable transformative growth in promising applications. An important step in this direction was appointing a new program lead in the USA for POCUS. He will initially be leading collaboration with clinical, academic and industrial partners as well as building the engineering team. We will continue investing to become a key player in the transformation of the healthcare sector we envision for the future, and we look forward to sharing more about our exciting progress soon.

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS)
Point of Care Ultrasound
Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is when ultrasound is used directly in the care setting to quickly assess a patient's condition and conduct diagnostic evaluation. This technology enables healthcare providers to immediately obtain imaging information at the bedside or in other immediate care settings. This can in the long run facilitate early identification of various health conditions that are today usually diagnosed later in specialist care, and to make rapid and well-informed medical decisions.
Today there are 110 million people in North America alone who suffer from a chronic condition, which translates into 800 billion USD spent on healthcare. Following the increasing prevalence of chronic conditions, escalating costs, and growing pressure on healthcare staff – there is a clear and pressing need for a transformation in clinical care paths, where the application of Pointof-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) could significantly transform and improve social health outcomes.
ContextVision's Focused Approach to POCUS
Our strategic entry into POCUS builds on our extensive expertise in real-time data processing to make the optimal image for the human eye in terms of quality. We specialize in the use of advanced image processing algorithms and artificial intelligence to achieve reliable and consistent quality in ultrasound images – a solid base for diagnostic confidence as well as for accurate analysis and measurements.
Building on top of image quality, we are also tapping into data quality, aiming to make ultrasound as user-independent and intelligent as lab tests. We are targeting compact ultrasound types, with the potential to also offer solutions for handheld systems in the future.
An example for using such solutions could be liver fat quantification, which is an important marker for several liver-related diseases. By improving image analysis and automating the interpretation of ultrasound images, we see an opportunity to make ultrasound diagnostics more accessible and accurate, which can have a significant impact on the diagnosis and follow-up of liver diseases such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. For instance, in North America, this disease ranks as the second leading cause for adult liver transplantation, and the third most common cause of liver cancer.
Business Model and Revenue
Streams for POCUS
ContextVision has a well-established business model as an industry leader in image enhancement for medical imaging and a long-term partner to some of the largest manufacturers of ultrasound.
These strong ties provide us with a solid foundation for continued growth, especially within the POCUS segment as a new business area offering a transformative growth potential. Our revenue streams generally come from licensing our software to OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and integrating our technology into their devices. It is a scalable and cost-effective strategy that lets us concentrate on research and development - the core of our business - while giving our partners the opportunity to offer more competitive products in the market. Our growth strategy for POCUS specifically, still under refinement as we develop the technology also includes strategic exploration of potential partnerships, possibly supplemented by mergers and acquisitions.
We are committed to investing up to ten percent of our net sales into developing a POCUS-platform organically, and in the next steps building disease-specific applications. ContextVision's POCUS-entry is a natural extension of our image quality business. With our deep expertise and strong partnerships in the fields of ultrasound, X-ray, and MRI, we are ideally positioned for growth and poised to take a leading role in a field that is set to revolutionize the future of diagnostics.
