Our journey towards achieving the company's strategic goals has continued during the second quarter. We have worked purposefully towards a positive cash flow, which has yielded results in the form of an improved operating profit of 24% by the first half of 2024, compared to the same period the year before.
Our pipeline in the form of ongoing discussions and sent offers is still high and is around SEK 30 million. We see that customers are still waiting and taking longer before deciding on our offers. The general situation for the life science industry globally, a number of major reorganizations at several pharmaceutical companies and a continued tough investment climate for funding research projects are some of the underlying reasons that have affected us. However, we are hopeful and are working purposefully to convert a larger number of quotes into signed orders as soon as possible.
The ongoing research collaboration with the US FDA for our DissolvIt module continues to be delivered according to plan and we look forward to the final result in the second half of 2024. This will be a significant milestone for the company and given a positive result, it could lead to great opportunities and collaborations in inhalation and In-Vitro research.
We are also in continued dialogue with potential partners regarding clinical application and our goal is to be able to present one or more forms of collaboration shortly.
After our re-prioritization in accordance with our new strategy, with the focus now on the service side (IRS), we have supplemented our services further together with, among others, the German company Actarmo GMBH and this work will continue in the future.
More customers are now becoming more aware of ISAB, our unique technology and our services. During the first half of 2024, we have expanded our network and the work now remains to build on this and convert these contacts into formal contracts. The second half of the year will be very interesting for ISAB and together with my team and the board I am very much looking forward to new business opportunities and a continued improved result.
