1. Adjusted for currency and Respiratory Motion Inc. (RMI), which was acquired in the third quarter 2022.

Successes in the USA boost growth

Our growth has started to gather genuine momentum. The clinical guidelines adopted at the end of last year have stimulated interest in, and demand for, our products. We have also seen an increased utilization rate of the monitors already installed in hospitals, which helped accelerate sensor sales. The value objective neuromuscular monitoring of patients under anesthesia brings in the form of improved patient safety, as well as reduced costs—validated in a range of studies—has now started to have an impact, and we are working intensively on optimizing our sales resources to satisfy the increasing demand.

In the first quarter, we were able to report high underlying growth for monitors and disposable sensors. Net sales grew by 161 percent to SEK 7.3 m adjusted for the acquisition of RMI and currency effects. Sales of sensors increased more than fivefold, which is an important signal for us. Our gross margin excl. amortization continued to improve, expanding to 68.5 percent from 61.2 percent, reflecting how sensors represent a growing sales share.

Increased use of installed monitors and the great success of our pediatric sensor boosted sensor sales in the USA to SEK 2.9 m. The customers who have a high degree of utilization are on a sensor usage corresponding to SEK 50,000 per year and installed monitor. We won an important order from a leading pediatric hospital in the US during the quarter, which is expected to generate annual sales greater than 2 million SEK when fully implemented. Total US sales were SEK 5.1 m, equivalent to underlying growth of 215 percent. In the US, our pediatric sensors were a key underlying factor for our success in the first quarter.

We advanced our positioning in Europe in the first quarter on several of the market opportunities we address. We expect more of the tenders we are participating in to make a positive contribution to sales in the second half-year 2023. In total, underlying sales in Europe were up by 99 percent to SEK 2.1 m.

The monitoring system ExSpiron®2Xi that we acquired in 2022 has been approved for production in our facility for the US market during the first quarter. The move contributes to positive cost synergies. Our distributors in Europe have shown great interest in the ExSpiron 2Xi and several of our US customers have implemented protocols for minute ventilation with the ExSpiron 2Xi to optimize patient flows.

We have increased our efforts in sustainability and started work on mapping our environmental impact end to end in the value chain in 2022. Our goal for 2023 is to reduce energy consumption, emissions, and waste, and to start measuring and setting targets for our climate footprint. The implementation of an

environmental management system (EMS) was a key stage of this work, and we secured ISO 14001 certification in April.

The collaboration with Masimo is progressing as planned and we just launched TetraGraph® Xcom connectivity with the Masimo Hospital Automation™ platform. This is an integration that enables the automatic transfer of neuromuscular data from TetraGraph through a Masimo connectivity hub and into a patient's medical records. The first joint product is expected in the beginning of 2024.

I am grateful for the continued support of shareholders that participated in the rights issue we conducted in March. This support and the hard work and commitment of our people have gotten us where we are today. I am really looking forward to our onward journey and the opportunities that lie ahead. For 2023, we anticipate continued high demand on our main markets, and significantly better sales than in 2022. Our outlook for 2025 is unchanged.

I will be making sure we keep driving innovation and improving patient safety to create positive change in healthcare.

Pia Renaudin, CEO Uppsala, Sweden, April 2023

Comments on the Report

Revenue and profit in the first quarter 2023

The group's net sales in the first quarter 2023 were TSEK 7,288 (2,361), corresponding to an increase of 209% on the first quarter of the previous year. Adjusted for sales of RMI products and currency fluctuations, sales increased by 161 percent.

The growth was primarily driven by strong sales of disposable sensors in the US, which reflects higher capacity utilization among existing customers. In Europe, growth was also strong, primarily driven by increased demand in the Nordics and Switzerland. In total, sales of monitors increased by 79 percent and disposable sensors by 406 percent adjusted for RMI and currency changes. In the US, underlying sales increased by 215 percent and in Europe by 99 percent. In our main markets, the strong sales growth was primarily driven by the installed base of monitors, as well as an increasing installed base of monitors in the US as we won several new customers during the quarter.

The gross margin excluding amortization in the period was 68,5 percent, compared to 62,1 percent for the corresponding quarter of the previous year. This increase relates primarily to the product and customer mix, where a higher share of total sales is sourced from the high-margin product TetraSens and TetraSens Pediatric compared to the first quarter 2022.

During the first quarter, the group's total operating expenses increased to kSEK 31,859 (20,238), which reflects continued expansion of the market organizations in the USA and Germany. In addition, negative currency effects have led to costs increasing by just over kSEK 1,500 compared to the same quarter last year. Indirect costs related to the rights issue that were carried out during the first quarter have also increased operating costs by just over kSEK 1,000. Direct costs related to the right issue are reported in equity.

Earnings before interest and taxes in the fourth quarter were TSEK -31,423 (-20,960). Accordingly, earnings before interest and taxes for the period were TSEK -31,691 (- 20,980).

Financial position

The group's equity was TSEK 313,397 (130,899) at the end of the fourth quarter. The equity/assets ratio was 85.4 percent (84.9).

At the end of the period, the company's cash and cash equivalents were TSEK 73,803 (56,356).

During the first quarter, a new issue was carried out with preferential rights for existing shareholders, which added SEK 83 million after issue expenses. The purpose of the rights issue is to implement a number of initiatives as part of scaling up the operational activities such as ensuring scope and delivery in hardware and software development as well as commercialization in relation to the strategic cooperation agreement with Masimo. Furthermore, Senzime intends to finance the general working capital requirement against the background of expected growth. Assuming a planned increase in sales and that individual investments are postponed; the board assesses that existing funds are sufficient to run the business at least until the beginning of 2024. The board assesses that increased expansion beyond this plan requires additional funding in 2023.

Cash flow and investments

Cash flow from operating activities including changes in working capital for the first quarter was TSEK -33,234 (-16,653). The negative cash flow is mostly due to the negative result and negative change in working capital, which mainly comes from the build-up of inventory and increased trade receivables due to strong sales in the first quarter. A reduction in accounts payable has also contributed negatively to the cash flow for the quarter. Cash flow from investment activities for the first quarter amounted to KSEK 2,045 (-1,684). Investments during the period are largely related to the activation of development projects. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to KSEK 82,102 (-271) for the first quarter. 83,010 KSEK is the net cash after the rights issue and -908 KSEK is a payment relating to leasing costs.

Stock options

Staff stock options

The group has four staff stock option programs, totaling 2,100,000 options. See note 8 of this Year-end Report for more detail.

Dilution

Based on the existing number of shares and outstanding staff stock options and share warrants, dilution from the programs, assuming all options (including those not yet granted) are exercised to subscribe for new shares, would be a maximum of 2.8 percent.

Parent company and subsidiaries

Most of the group's operations are conducted in the parent company. For comments on the parent company's results of operations, see the comments on the group. US company Respiratory Motion, Inc. was acquired in the third quarter 2022, and is a 100%-owned subsidiary of Senzime AB. US company Senzime, Inc. started operating activities in the second quarter 2020. Sales in the USA are conducted in-house and via local distributors. German subsidiary Senzime GmbH started operations in the first quarter 2021. The group's two other subsidiaries exclusively hold certain rights that have been licensed to the parent company against royalty payments.

Sustainability

Senzime's operations contribute to improved global health and patient safety by reducing anesthesia and breathing-related complications and lowering healthcare costs in connection with surgical procedures and emergency treatments. Senzime's sustainability work supports the commitment to patients and strives for sustainable development based on responsible action and in line with the fundamental values.

In 2023, Senzime aims to reduce energy use, emissions, and waste and to start measuring and setting targets for the climate footprint. An important step in this work was the implementation of an environmental management system (EMS), which was initiated during the end of 2022 and completed during the quarter, and in April the ISO 14001 certification was obtained. The certification lays a good foundation for the continued environmental work within the company.

Other significant events in the quarter

On January 23, 2023, the board decided on a new share issue of approximately SEK 100 million with preferential rights for existing shareholders. The purpose of the rights issue is to implement a number of initiatives as part of scaling up the operational activities. The rights issue was covered to 90.7 percent by subscription commitments, letters of intent and guarantee commitments. The final result of the rights issue showed that the issue was subscribed to approximately 67.8 percent, corresponding to 9,481,604 shares. In addition, 3,201,071 shares, corresponding to approximately 22.9 percent of the shares offered, have been allocated to underwriters. Senzime received approximately SEK 91.9 million through the issue before deductions for transaction costs. Through the issue, Senzime's share capital increased by SEK 1,585,334.375 from SEK 8,735,498.125 to SEK 10,320,832.500 through the new issue of 12,682,675 new shares, which means that the total number of shares increased from 69,883,985 shares to 82,566,660 shares.

Risks and uncertainty factors

A number of risk factors may have a negative impact on the operations of Senzime. Accordingly, it is important to consider relevant risks besides the company's growth potential. A review of the group's significant financial and business risks is included in the Statutory Administration Report and annual accounts for

  1. The company does not consider that any further significant risks have arisen.

Outlook

Just like many other companies, Senzime has faced major challenges from the Covid-19 pandemic. The fundamental need for neuromuscular monitoring has not reduced, even if surgery has been deferred to satisfy and enable the supply of medical staff. The pandemic impacted the number of trials conducted in 2020 and 2021. Access to hospitals has varied between countries. However, Senzime has enjoyed increased access to hospitals in 2022. Senzime has no operations in either Russia or Ukraine. It is also too early to judge the possible consequences of a long-term conflict between these countries.

Review

This interim report has not been reviewed by the auditors.

Board of Directors' certification

The Board of Directors and CEO certify that this interim report gives a true and fair view of the parent company's and the group's operations, financial position, and results of operations, and reviews the significant risks and uncertainties faced by the parent company and companies in the group.

Diluted earnings per share is not reported because it generates higher earnings per share because the company is loss making. In the rights issue that was carried out, there is an issue element. The effect is however immaterial as the subscription rights had a low value as the issue was not fully subscribed. Accordingly, no recalculation has been made.

Not 7. Alternative performance measures

Senzime has defined the following alternative measures.

Performance measure Definition Motive for use
Gross margin excl.
amortization
Gross profit (loss) excl. amortization of
intangible assets divided by net sales
The group uses the alternative
performance measure gross margin
excluding amortization because it
illustrates the impact of amortization of
capitalized development expenditure on
gross margin.
EBITA Earnings before interest and taxes
excluding amortization of intangible
assets
The group uses the alternative
performance measure EBITA because it
illustrates the impact of amortization of
capitalized development expenses on
operating profit.
Equity/assets ratio Closing equity in the period divided by
closing total assets in the period
The group uses the alternative
performance measure equity/assets
ratio because it illustrates the portion of
the total assets that consist of equity
and has been included so investors will
be able to assess the group's capital
structure.
Items affecting
comparability
Items of material value that do not have
any clear relationship with ordinary
activities and are of such nature that
they cannot be expected to occur often.
They may, for example, relate to
acquisitions, major one-off orders, other
unusual non-recurring revenue and
expenses, capital gains/losses from
divestments, restructuring expenses and
impairment losses.
Enables improved understanding of the
company's underlying operations.
Currency fluctuations Adjusted for currency fluctuations on
the net sales of operations excludes the
effect of exchange rates by restating the
net sales of operations for the relevant
period by applying the rates of exchange
used for the comparative period.
This performance measure is important
for understanding the underlying
progress of operations, and improves
compatibility between periods

Not 8. Staff stock option programs

The terms of the employee stock option programs are affected by the rights issue, recalculation is not yet complete.

Staff stock option program 2022/2026

The AGM on May 18, 2022, resolved on an additional staff stock option program comprising 900,000 options. These staff stock options will be offered and granted to employees based on participants' individual performance in an evaluation period that continues until December 31, 2022 (the "Evaluation Period"). However, granting may be earlier or later subject to a special decision by the Board of Directors. The maximum number of staff stock options that may be granted to participants is 200,000 staff stock options per person.

Granted staff stock options are vested for three years as follows: 20% of granted staff stock options will be vested on February 1, 2024; 20% of granted staff stock options will be vested on February 1, 2025; and 60% of granted staff stock options will be vested on February 1, 2026. Participants may exercise granted and vested staff stock options in the period February 1, 2026, to February 28, 2027. All 900,000 staff options are awarded in February 2023, 580,000 of these are allocated to the CEO and other senior executives. The subscription price is set at SEK 30.00.

Dilution from option programs

In total, the Group's four staff stock option programs comprise 2,100,100 options, which on full exercise, would entail dilution of 2.8%. This assumes that all options are exercised, including staff stock options that have not yet been granted. During the first quarter of 2023, 72,000 staff stock options have expired.
