Lifecare Q4 2023 Report Steady course
Bergen, Norway, February 27th, 2024: Today, Lifecare AS (LIFE) (the
"Company"), a clinical stage medical sensor company developing the next
generation Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), publishes Q4 financial report and
operational update.
Lifecare holds steady a course towards the upcoming automated pilot
production. The first three quarters of 2023, Lifecare reported on huge
achievements both clinically and in the laboratory. In the third quartal of
2023 the manufacturing preparations and Quality Management gained additional
speed, and throughout Q4 Lifecare has been able to manifest the company's
direction and goals.
The Group's costs were slightly increased compared to previous quartals due to
increased development activities, while Lifecare conclude a revenue in Q4 of
5,1 MNOK, including 3,4 MNOK calculated refund from "Skattefunn". The Q4
revenue represented an increase from 2,6 MNOK in Q1 and Q3 2023, and 1,2 MNOK
in Q2 2023. Due to strategic priorities the third-party service capacity has
been reduced to be able to allocate the Groups recourses to our main and
internal development projects. Consequently, the revenue decreased compared to
Q4 2022 (6,71 MNOK, included 1,6 MNOK from "Skattefunn").
Lifecare converted the accounting principles to IFRS in 2023 and on this basis
the valuation of the Group employee share option plan had a large impact on
the Q4 2023 numbers adding additional 3,7MNOK to the Salaries and personnel
costs, compared to 0,9 MNOK for 2022. However, this cost does not have effect
on the company's liquidity or total equity.
The Group's cash position and equity Q4 2023 was strengthened compared to Q4
- The Lifecare organization is focused and dedicated to meet the goals to
enable sensor pilot production in Q1 2024 and automated production in Q2 2024.
Furthermore, the commercial goal of 2024 is to launch our CGM in the
veterinary market. We expect to progress on the commercial preparations in the
first half of 2024, says CEO Joacim Holter at Lifecare.
Preparing the organization for continued progress on the corporate and
financial side, we have established two important new positions in the Group.
March 1st, 2024, Torsten Ernst will start as Lifecare's Production Manager in
Mainz, Germany. May 1st, 2024, Renete Kaarvik will start as Lifecare's Chief
Financial Officer. In addition to these important appointments, the Board of
Directors recently decided to initiate the process to prepare Lifecare for an
uplisting to the main market at Oslo Stock Exchange. - If all goes as planned,
Lifecare hope to uplist to the main market for trading in October 2024, says
Holter.
A live webast of the Q4 2023 report will be presented by Lifecare's CEO Joacim
Holter at 12:00 -- 12:45 CET.
