Strong cash position supports continued investment in Image and Data Quality

In the second quarter of 2024, we have signed new customers in North America and Asia, and we are continuing our investments in both image quality and data quality. Our cash flow remains stable, with a good cash position, and we are confident that the investments we are making now will drive long-term growth.

The second quarter of the year saw a decrease in net sales compared to the same quarter last year. We achieved net sales of 31.7 MSEK, reflecting a decline of 6.2%. This decrease can largely be attributed to exceptionally favorable conditions in the second quarter of 2023, with a currency tailwind last year turning into a currency headwind this quarter. Additionally, as we mentioned in the previous quarter, there was a favorable timing of orders in the first quarter of this year, which impacted this quarter's sales.

EBITDA reached 9.0 MSEK with an EBITDA margin of 28.4% adjusted for investments in POCUS totaling 1.6 MSEK (5.0% of net sales). The decline in profitability can be explained by several factors. Since last year, we have recruited several experienced new hires as well as seen increased administrative costs and 1 MSEK in transactional FX. Furthermore, a change in capitalization policy in late 2023 has led to that no costs have been capitalized this year. These factors have all impacted our current profitability, and we anticipate that costs remain elevated as we continue to pursue our growth agenda in both image quality and data quality.

During the quarter, we signed several new customer contracts. Our footprint in the North American segment is positioned for significant growth with strategic customers, enabling faster

revenue streams due to shorter regulatory timelines. While we observe a downturn in certain parts of Asia which could in turn, affect us; we also recognize growth potential in other market segments, particularly the U.S., including handheld devices, where a new contract has been secured.

Regarding data quality, specifically our innovations in Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS), we are making progress on an expanded product pipeline for organ-specific applications aimed at streamlining disease management. This initiative is an extension of our current image quality portfolio, and holds great potential. We are also nearing the completion of an advanced development partnership with a world-renowned university in this field, as well as a collaboration with a medical device manufacturer to accelerate development and clinical validation.

Looking ahead, we see that we have good capacity to continue investing in both image quality and data quality to drive longterm growth.

Finally, I want to extend my gratitude to co-workers, customers, partners and other stakeholders. We will continue our journey of delivering best-in-class image quality technology while innovating in new, groundbreaking areas, positioning ourselves as a key player in the ongoing healthcare transformation. I look forward to sharing more updates on our progress, as we proceed and reach new milestones.

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.

Specifically, we are targeting organ-specific applications. 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 building organ-specific applications aimed at streamlining disease management. 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.

Financial information

Second Quarter 2024

Income

  • ContextVision's net sales in the second quarter 2024 amounted to 31.7 MSEK (33.8). This represents a decrease of 6.2% compared to the same quarter previous year. The decrease can be explained by exceptionally favorable conditions in the second quarter of 2023, with a currency tailwind last year turning into a currency headwind this quarter. Additionally, there was a favorable timing of orders in the first quarter of this year which impacted this quarter's sales. All license sales are generated outside Sweden and from external sales.
  • The currency exchange rates had an effect on sales of -3.5% in the quarter. Transactional FX affected total operating income negatively with 0.6 MSEK.

Expenses

  • Other external costs amounted to 10.9 MSEK (6.5). The increase is largely due to FX and higher general and administrative costs compared to last year.
  • Employee costs amounted to 14.6 MSEK (12.1). The increase can be explained by new recruits in 2023 and 2024 as well as a shift towards more experienced employees following our growth strategy.
  • The total operating expenses was 28.7 MSEK (20.7) and is a result of the above.
