With a strong margin of 28.4 percent for the quarter, we are further consolidating our position as a technology leader in sleep and health. We are making progress in both clinical validation – as in our study for screening sleep apnea – and commercialization, with growing revenues from partnerships. Revenue from partnerships now accounts for over 9 percent of our net sales. At the same time, the quarter was impacted by a tougher market environment with slower customer growth and a two percent decline in paying subscribers. Market trends show that our long-term strategy is the right way forward, with a diversified offering and more verticals based on our sleep technology.

Partnership sales is a key part of our strategy – and it is yielding results. Revenue from partnerships has increased by over 68 percent compared to the same quarter in prior year and now accounts for more than 9 percent of our total net sales, which for the quarter amounted to SEK 63.6 million. During the quarter, we welcomed HelloFresh, Factor and YouFoodz as part of Sleep Cycle's partner program and opened up a new platform of in-app offerings, tailored to our health-conscious target audience.
In June, we initiated our clinical study with over 700 participants for our AI-based screening of obstructive sleep apnea. The study is an important milestone towards medical certification and future approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The goal is to offer a simple and accessible solution without expensive hardware or the need for a sleep clinic. We envisage both a service for consumers and offers to partners available in part through licensing.
Despite a challenging market situation for sleep apps, the demand for sleep aid is high and predicted to grow in the coming years. The renewal rate is gradually improving and development is outperforming competitors thanks to targeted product development such as Sleep Stages. The number of paying subscribers is down two percent from prior year and totals 878,000 for the quarter. Developments in the sleep app segment in the
AppStore demonstrate the need to expand our business and that our strategy is the right way forward. We are working decisively on new customer acquisition, activation, partnerships, and tech licensing under the Powered by Sleep Cycle concept to reverse the trend and build an even stronger Sleep Cycle.
This marks a new chapter for us, and although sales cycles in B2B are longer than in the consumer business, we are confident that our technology meets a real need. We are building for long-term impact — and for a future where our technology becomes an integral part of the digital health ecosystem.
The market is changing — and we are changing with it. We are not only building for better sleep, but for a greater role in digital health, public health, research, and data analysis.
Thank you for your continued support and belief in our vision!
ERIK JIVMARK, CEO
With more than three billion nights analyzed, Sleep Cycle is helping people around the world understand and improve their sleep. Our patented AI technology enables advanced sleep analysis and personalized insights, promoting better sleep hygiene - one night at a time. Our subscriptionbased business model creates stable, predictable revenue, while low customer acquisition costs ensure strong profitability and sustainable cash flow.

During the quarter, we launched an upgraded audio model – the result of a year of focused development. The aim has been to identify and interpret subtle audio signals that often go unnoticed by the user but play a crucial role in understanding sleep patterns. This upgrade has significantly improved the model's accuracy and deepened insights into sleep structure, an important step in solidifying our position as a leader in advanced sleep analysis.
We have strengthened our partner program with a new platform for in-app offers. It gives external brands the opportunity to reach our health-conscious and engaged user base. During the quarter, we have entered into partnerships with HelloFresh, Factor and YouFoodz, which are now offering exclusive offers to Sleep Cycles users. The platform not only creates new revenue streams, but also helps increase daily usage and deepen engagement with Sleep Cycle.
Our Sleep Aid library for premium users has been updated with new video courses from our sleep expert. The courses focus on common sleep problems in children, teenagers, and women going through menopause. By offering content that meets specific needs, we strengthen both daily use and long-term engagement with the app.
As part of our product development, we have developed a sleep test based on the established RU-SATED concept*. The test provides users with insight into their sleeping habits and presents concrete suggestions for improvement. This initiative is an important part of our new acquisition strategy and contributes to a more personalized and engaging user experience.
Sleep Cycle has launched its first stand-alone web feature: Cough Radar. The feature makes community-level cough data available to everyone, free of charge and in real time. Users and partners can monitor global cough trends using an interactive map in the browser. Cough Radar is a key component of our Powered by Sleep Cycle initiative, enabling proactive public health interventions using real-time data on respiratory conditions.
Obstructive sleep apnea affects an estimated 950 million adults worldwide, nearly 80 percent of whom are undiagnosed. The condition is linked to serious health problems and is driving demand for more effective diagnostics. The home testing market is expected to grow from \$712 million in 2025 to \$966 million by 2035, clearly demonstrating the need for scalable and cost-effective solutions.
Sleep Cycle's upcoming sleep apnea feature is based on our smartphone technology and proprietary algorithms to offer an affordable and easy home test. As an initial step towards medical certification, we are now conducting a study to validate the technology's capabilities. The solution enables new revenue streams both through in-app subscriptions and through licensing of our technology. *RU-SATED is a standardized questionnaire that measures six key dimensions of sleep health:

Sleep Cycle's mission is to improve global health by helping people sleep better. In 2024, we launched an updated business strategy. It takes off from the trends that drive the market and creates opportunities for Sleep Cycle to achieve strong and profitable growth.

Increased focus on health and well-being, understanding the importance of sleep to people's well-being, and the increased acceptance of subscription-based applications are all examples of structural global trends driving the sleep health market.
Sleep Cycle's strategy consists of three main areas – User Growth, User engagement, and Platform & Data – within which we implement a range of tactical activities to achieve our goals. The new strategy aims to aggressively focus on increased growth and to explore new revenue streams based on the unique technology and vast amount of data Sleep Cycle possesses.
Our strategy has an aggressive objective: Doubled income over the medium term with an annual profitability of at least 25% operating margin. With a strong core business as a foundation and a competent team, we are convinced that these goals can be achieved.
This strategic initiative focuses on increasing visibility in earned channels through media exposure, simplified onboarding, continuous branding, new pricing strategy, and product development. With 80 percent of new users coming from referrals, thus demonstrating the quality and reputation of the product.
Partnerships play a central role in reaching new customer segments and growing the user base, with tailored approaches to maximize performance for both the company and our partners.
Retaining users is crucial to our subscription-based business model, and active users mean increased retention opportunities. This part of the strategy focuses on developing our capabilities to improve data quality and further increase trust in Sleep Cycle. There are many meeting points along the customer journey where we can help our users not only to create good habits, but also to maintain them. In this work, personalization is key. Launches such as Sleep Stages are a clear example of how we employ our unique technology and collected data to make Sleep Cycle an important part of people's everyday lives and contribute to their well-being. This type of personalized functionality increases user engagement and is also important for increasing conversion to paying users.
Sleep Cycle's platform processes over 300,000 hours of sleep data every hour. This means a large volume of health data that in itself has great value but also enables product improvements and business opportunities.
The new technology behind Sleep Stages combines sound analysis of respiratory patterns and movements with AI and machine learning based on extensive polysomnographic data. This unique technology is also used to explore solutions for breathing disorders, such as sleep apnea, which is a major public health problem.
Thanks to our proprietary technology, Sleep Cycle has full control over the platform and its use, creating opportunities to broaden our commercial offering – something we strive to further develop.
As all significant operations in the Group are conducted in the Parent Company, the comments below refer to both the Parent Company and the Group. For profit and cash flow, comparative figures refer to the corresponding period for prior year. For financial position, comparative figures refer to the balance sheet item as of December 31, 2024.
The Group's net sales during the second quarter totaled tSEK 63,559 (65,442), a decrease of -2.9% (+12.9%) from prior year. Currencyadjusted net sales growth amounted to -0.6% (10.5%) for the quarter. Revenue growth is attributable to lower sales through the AppStore and Google Play platforms, while sales through the web and partnerships are growing. Revenues generated from partnerships represented 9.3% of revenues during the quarter. The corresponding figure for the previous year was 5.4%, which shows that revenue generated from partnerships is growing at a rapid pace. While the second quarter is seasonally weaker for new customer acquisitions, sales to existing customers remain stable and continue to improve gradually.
Average Revenue Per Subscription (ARPU) decreased to SEK 271 (282), while currency-adjusted ARPU amounted to SEK 277. The decrease is explained by a lower inflow of new customers and negative exchange rate trends.
The number of paying users totaled 878k (898k). This decrease is explained by a lower inflow of new subscribers, while the proportion renewing their subscription remains stable with gradual improvement.
The company continued to show good profitability, although earnings were negatively affected by lower revenues compared with the previous year and by increased costs related to growth-promoting initiatives in line with the company's strategy to continue developing the product and find additional revenue streams. Operating profit for the second quarter totaled tSEK 18,019 (20,964) and the margin 28.4% (32.0%). The second quarter has not been affected by costs affecting comparability.
Currency fluctuations had some negative impact on results during the quarter. As sales are made in foreign currency but payments from the AppStore, for example, are made in Swedish kronor, revenues are affected by currency fluctuations – especially when the krona strengthens. Additional earnings effects occur when the exchange rate changes between sale and payment. During the quarter, the profit impact was tSEK -1,886, mainly related to price development in USD.
Net financial items for the quarter totaled tSEK 246 (426) and taxes on profit for the quarter totaled tSEK -3,777 (-4,429).
Profit for the quarter totaled tSEK 14,488 (16,960). Earnings per share before and after dilution amounted to SEK 0.71 (0.84).
Cash flow from operating activities in the first quarter amounted to tSEK 19,917 (16,221).
Cash flow from investment activities amounted to tSEK -2,971 (-912) related to capitalization of development expenses. The clinical study related to screening for sleep apnea was initiated during the quarter.
Cash flow from financing activities in the quarter amounted to tSEK -61,585 (-45,734) related to dividends paid, amortization of lease liabilities and option premiums in 2024. The change is mainly explained by higher dividends in 2025. The dividend paid amounted to tSEK 60,833 (46,638).
Cash flow for the quarter totaled tSEK -44,639 (-30,065). The group's cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period totaled tSEK 112,431 (120,443).
Consolidated equity totaled tSEK 46,904 as of June 30. Opening balance on January 1 was tSEK 79,457.
Changes in net sales, profit, cash flow and financial position for the 2025 period compared to the previous year are largely explained by the same reasons as for the second quarter. Development over a 6-month period is indicated below, with comments in cases where there are causes for development other than for the second quarter.
Consolidated net sales for the period amounted to tSEK 128,484 (128,899), a decrease of -0.3% (+13.0%) compared to the previous year. Currency-adjusted net sales growth amounted to 0.5% (10.8%). Average revenue per user (ARPU) decreased, totaling SEK 272 (279). Currency-adjusted ARPU amounted to SEK 274. The number of paying users totaled 878k (898k).
Operating profit totaled tSEK 35,110 (34,807) and the margin was 27.3% (27.0%). The 2025 period has not been affected by any costs affecting comparability. The previous year was affected by costs affecting comparability of tSEK 5,756 related to the reorganization and consolidation of operations to the head office in Gothenburg. The adjusted operating margin in the prior year was 31.5%.
Currency fluctuations had some negative impact on results during the period. As sales are made in foreign currency but payments from the App Store, for example, are made in Swedish kronor, revenues are affected by currency fluctuations – especially when the krona strengthens. Additional earnings effects occur when the exchange rate changes between sale and payment. During the period, the profit impact was tSEK -3,176, mainly related to price development in USD.
Net financial items for the period totaled tSEK 553 (1,113) and taxes on the profit for the period totaled tSEK -7,383 (-7,435).
Profit for the period totaled tSEK 28,280 (28,485). Earnings per share before and after dilution amounted to SEK 1.39 (1.40).
Cash flow from operations for the period amounted tSEK 36,629 (34,494).
Cash flow from investment activities amounted to tSEK -6,774 (-1 097) related to capitalization of development expenses. The change is explained by higher activation of development spending linked to sleep apnea screening, along with initiatives in line with the company's strategy.
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to tSEK -62,658 (-46,401) during the period, mainly related to dividend payments.
Cash flow for the period amounted to tSEK -32,803 (-13,004). The group's cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period totaled tSEK 112,431 (120,443).
Consolidated equity totaled tSEK 46,904 as of June 30. Opening balance on January 1 was tSEK 79,457.
The average number of employees in the Group for the quarter from April to June 2025 was 35 (30) and for the six months from January to June 2025 was 34 (34).
The group's over-arching risk management aims to minimize negative effects on profit and position. Significant risks and uncertainties are described in the annual report for 2024. No significant events have occurred during the period that affect or change the descriptions of the Group's risks and their management.
The Group's operations are essentially conducted in the parent company, which is why reference is made to the information above for the Group.
There have been no related-party transactions aside from transactions with senior executives in their capacity as such.
This report has not been reviewed by the Company's auditors.
