Focus on internal efficiency and product development to drive long-term growth

During the third quarter of 2024, we focused on several key initiatives crucial to our continued progress. We continued the integration with our new customers in Asia and North America, as well as strengthened our internal teams. Additionally, we are working closely with the market to strategically enhance and develop our products – all of which are important steps for achieving increased growth.

In the third quarter of the year, net sales decreased compared to the same quarter last year, reaching 30.1 MSEK (32.8), reflecting a decline of 8.1%, or 1.7 MSEK. This decrease can be explained by non-recurring sales of services and licenses of 4.7 MSEK in the previous year for a product we decided not to market, which impacted Q3 2023 positively by 2.9 MSEK.

EBITDA for the quarter reached 11.4 MSEK (14.5) with an EBITDA-margin of 37.9% (44.2) when adjusted for investments in Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) totaling 2.1 MSEK (7% of net sales). The decline in profitability is mainly due to higher personnel and consultant costs as well as somewhat higher administrative costs. Furthermore, no costs have been capitalized, following an update in capitalization policy heading into 2024. Transactional FX affected the quarter negatively with 0.4 MSEK. As previously explained, we also anticipate our cost base to remain at a higher level compared to previous years, as we pursue our growth agenda in both image quality and data quality.

In the second quarter, we signed several new customers in Asia and North America, including a strategic partner with the potential to drive faster revenue growth in the future, and we are now integrating our software into these customers' products. At the same time, one of our existing customers is currently under going restructuring, which presents a potential risk.

In our pursuit of increased revenue growth across both our

existing image quality business and our new data quality segment, we reorganized our marketing and product teams during the quarter. This restructuring aims to strengthen our product and marketing teams, increasing effectiveness as we advance along our planned product development roadmap. While improving internal effectiveness, we also prioritize product enhancement through close collaboration with external partners. Together with our customers, we are strategically developing new products, guided by relevant market feedback.

In the area of data quality, commonly referred to as POCUS, we are laying the groundwork for our future product pipeline focused on organ-specific applications. Last quarter, we mentioned being close to signing an advanced development partnership with a renowned university and a medical device manufacturer. The agreement is still pending as we finalize the remaining details, but it is expected to be signed during the fourth quarter. We look forward to sharing more information once the partnership is officially in place.

Looking ahead, we remain strong and are actively taking steps toward increased future growth. While this does not happen overnight in our business, we are making the necessary preparations and investments to make advancements and reach our goals. Our cash position is solid and the Board has proposed a share buy-back program to be decided upon at our upcoming Extraordinary General Meeting.

Finally, I would like to extend my gratitude to our co-workers,

customers, partners and other stakeholders. We will continue our journey to deliver best-in-class image quality technology and to push boundaries in new, groundbreaking areas, positioning ourselves as a key player in healthcare's ongoing transformation.

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS)

Point of Care Ultrasound

Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is when ultrasound is used for near-patient testing, directly in the care setting to quickly diagnose a patient's condition. This technology enables healthcare providers to immediately obtain imaging information at the bedside or in other care settings. This facilitates early identification of various health conditions that are today usually diagnosed later in specialist care.

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 care pathways and reduced involvement of specialised readers. In this context the application of Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) and quantitative machine-aided diagnosis could significantly transform and improve health care efficiancy and patient outcomes.

ContextVision's Focused Approach to POCUS

Our strategic entry into POCUS builds on our extensive expertise in medical image quality to optimize image for visual diagnostic interpretation. 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 user-independent, more intelligent and easier to interpret. 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 physiological 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 systems.

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

Third quarter 2024

Income

  • ContextVision's net sales in the third quarter amounted to 30.1 MSEK (32.8). This represents a decrease of 8.1% compared to the same quarter previous year. The decrease can be explained by non-recurring sales of services and licenses of 4.7 MSEK in the previous year for a product that was decided not to market, which impacted Q3 2023 positively by 2.9 MSEK.
  • The currency exchange rates had an effect on sales of +1.6% in the quarter. Transactional FX affected total operating income with –0.6 MSEK.

Expenses

  • Other external costs amounted to 8.9 MSEK (7.9). The increase is largely du to higher general and administrative costs compared to last year.
  • Employee benefits amounted to 12.4 MSEK (10.7). 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 23.8 MSEK (21.3) and is a result of the above.
