CEO statement
Order intake in the third quarter was higher than in the same period last year, although revenues were slightly lower because of weaker order intake in the January-September reporting period.
During the third quarter, we continued our strategy of actively engaging in close dialogue with all customers who have requested quotes, as well as engaging in several new customer dialogues. We have also managed to adjust our costs efficiently in response to the lower order intake and turnover in the reporting period. The adjustment of costs is also part of the objective to bring the company to profitability and positive cash flow.
During the reporting period, we see an improved operating profit of 12% and have a steady pipeline of sent offers around SEK 40 million. We are working hard to convert these quotes into formal orders as soon as possible.
Our ongoing research collaboration with the FDA and our DissolvIt module is in its final stages. We are working with the FDA to present initial data before the end of the year, followed by publication of full data in the first half of 2025. This research collaboration with the FDA is a significant milestone in the company's history and we look forward to presenting the results and the future market potential of DissolvIt.
We plan to organise a webinar with our clinical contract partner, CTC, where the very good results from our clinical study will be discussed. We will also present the clinical market potential of "regional/precision targeting" which is important for clinical research and which we have been able to demonstrate in our clinical study.
The fourth quarter is an intensive quarter as we strive to finalise ongoing customer assignments and ensure order intake in the open offers negotiated with customers. We have adapted our costs to prevailing market conditions, which brings us closer to our goal of achieving profitability.
During the year, management and the Board continued to evaluate different strategic options for the company, with the aim of securing growth, expanding the portfolio of services, being a broader provider of inhalation services and laying the foundations for long-term financial stability.
