2 Inify Laboratories AB – 559345-4431 Interim report for the first quarter 2024
This is Inify Laboratories
What we do
Inify Laboratories provides cancer diagnostics in histopathology, initially for diagnosis prostate cancer. We have built an ultramodern laboratory, offering diagnostic services to both public and private healthcare providers. The business model and technical structure allow for scalability in volume, diagnosis and geographical expansion.
How we do it
We have built an ultramodern laboratory and developed a unique structure of systems and processes that enable a fully digital, standardized and AI-assisted workflowm in order to optimize quality and shorten response times. We offer services for selected cancer types, where specialization contributes to high and reliable quality.
Why we do it
Clinical pathology is currently under great pressure, with high workloads and limited – even declining – resources in many parts of the world. An aging population, increasing cancer incidence, and more frequent examinations and screening programmes further increase the workload. Solving the problem through labor alone is not an option, due to the acute shortage of medical staff in pathology. It is simply necessary to work in new ways.
Who we are
Inify Laboratories is based in Sweden and became independent in 2022 through a spin-off from ContextVision, which has 40 years of experience in digital images for medical diagnostics. The company is listed on Euronext Growth Oslo.
Our vision: World leading cancer diagnostics for everyone!

Letter from the CEO
Significant increase in turnover and number of diagnoses
In the first quarter of 2024, we see a growth in sales of as much as 184% compared to the previous quarter. This is an effect of the fact that a number of customers joined late in the fourth quarter of 2023, after attained accreditation. More diagnoses were delivered in the first quarter alone than in the whole of 2023. Net sales amounted to SEK 2.2 million and the cash balance at the end of the quarter was SEK 59.2 million
Customers
Our existing customers are mainly located in the Stockholm region, which means that we can work closely with a high onsite presence. This provides us with important feedback that helps us sharpen our own processes while optimizing customer workflows, such as digital referrals and reports. The growth we see in the number of samples and turnover is a clear acknowledgement of the value we create and the trust we build with our customers.
Nhe 2023 quality report from the National Prostate Cancer Registry (NPCR) for the Stockholm-Gotland region was recently published. The report already indicates the positive effects of our contribution to shortening patient wait times.
We are experiencing a great deal of interest from new customers. During the quarter, we have worked intensively on preparations to onboard a number of these, and we expect continued strong growth during the year. Dialogues with new customers include both public and private healthcare providers, as structures for healthcare delivery vary between regions in the country.
In March, an article about our laboratory
service was published in Prostatanytt, a magazine linked to the Prostate Cancer Association, which is the Swedish patient association for prostate cancer. It describes how our innovative service, in close collaboration with urology clinics, creates significant added value for urology providers and their patients.
International mapping
In parallel with our establishment in Sweden, our evaluation of selected markets in Europe is ongoing. We primarily focus on countries that are able to initially send patient samples to Sweden, which gives us a good basis for a decision whether to establish laboratory operations in each country. Long, unpredictable response times and varying quality pose great challenges for most countries, and the number of cases of prostate cancer globally is expected to increase significantly by 2040. This, together with the knowledge we acquire through mapping markets outside Sweden, strengthens our conviction of successful international expansion.
Organization
We continue to grow our organization and
have both welcomed new colleagues and signed agreements with colleagues who will join us later in the year. Our team has been strengthened with employees in marketing, diagnostics, customer support and laboratory expertise. This is fully in line with our plans and means that we are well staffed for the growth we see ahead.
Outlook
–
Another successful quarter has passed, and our progress is fully in line with our development plan. We are inspired by the fact that we are now in an intense growth phase, and are motivated by the confirmation we receive regarding the significant value we add for caregivers and patients, on a daily basis.
With yet another strong quarter behind us, I, along with the whole team, look forward with great optimism to our continued development and growth journey.
Fredrik Palm Chief Executive Officer
First quarter 2024
Company history and development
Inify Laboratories AB (publ) is a Swedish company with it's registered office in Stockholm, Sweden. The company was incorporated in November 2021 as a subsidiary to ContextVision AB. After a resolution at an extraordinary general meeting in December 2021, Inify Laboratories was spun-off by a dividend of shares that was carried out in February 2022. During 2022 the company built it's first laboratory and office facilities, and moved in at the end of 2022. During January 2023 a wholly owned subsidiary was formed, to support the business structure with a suitable organization. The laboratory launched it's pathology services for healthcare providers in mid June 2023, focusing on prostate cancer for a start.

The group consists of the parent company Inify Laboratories AB (publ), company registration number 559345-4431, and the wholly owned subsidiary Inify Laboratories Nordics AB, company registration number 559416-6828.

The parent company's business consists of conducting research and development, managing the intangible assets, group management and other administrative services at the group level.
Transactions which are eliminated on consolidation
Internal group receivables and liabilities, income or expense and unrealised gains or losses which arise from intra-Group transactions among group comapnies, are eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

During the first quarter of 2024, Inify's operating income amounted to SEK 2,229 thousand (0) and other income amounted to SEK 190 thousand, which corresponds to an increase of 184% in operating income compared to the previous quarter. The large increase in revenue is due to the new customers who joined late in the fourth quarter of 2023, that started delivering patient samples on a full-scale in the first quarter
of 2024. All operating income relates to diagnostic services in Sweden and were invoiced in SEK. Other income relates to the sale of a non-current asset.
The Group's costs consist mainly of personnel costs and other external costs, but whilst revenues increase, the cost of goods is expected to increase proportionally. The increase in personnel costs compared with the previous year is a natural consequence of the growth of the organi-zation and the hiring of new employees.

The raised capital was paid to the company during July 2022. Cash and bank assets for the group at 31 March 2024 amounted to SEK 59.2 millions (108.6).

Alternative performance measures and definitions
In its financial reports, the company presents certain financial measures, including Key Figures, which are considered as Alternative Performance Measures (APM). The company believes that these figures provide useful supplementary information to investors and the company's board and management as they enable a better evaluation of the company's financial performance. Because not all companies calculate the financial figures in the same way, these are not always comparable to measures used by other companies.
| Key figure | Definition | Motivation for usage | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Earnings per share after tax (Return on equity) |
Net result for the period divided by the number of outstanding shares at period end. |
Earnings per share shows the company's results in relation to shares, and provides additional information regarding the company's profitability. |
|
| Solidity (Equity ratio) | Equity at period end as a percentage of total assets. |
The equity ratio shows the company's long term ability to pay its debts and is a complement to other key figures. It helps assess the possibility of dividends. |
|
| EBITDA | Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Operating profit/loss before interest, taxes, impairment and depreciation/ amortization. |
EBITDA shows the company's underlying development, which is valuable as an indication of the company's underlying cash-generating capacity. |
