SUMMARY
In the second quarter of 2024, the Company achieved a new revenue record of kSEK 1 681, marking the third consecutive quarter of growth. This revenue growth, entirely driven by Animal Care, was primarily from the sale of vetIQure™ TSE systems and treatment kits. The Company also completed a successful rights issue, raising mSEK 9,73 before issuance costs, improving liquidity.
By the end of the quarter, the Company had 7 installed IQwave™ systems and 18 vetIQure™ systems, with treatment volume exceeding 100 treatments per month. The Company remains focused on cost control, though non-recurring expenses related to production, CE marking audits, and production line inspections, totaling approximately kSEK 450, impacted liquidity. Despite this, the operating loss for the quarter improved to kSEK -3 759, compared to kSEK -5 978 in the previous year.
In India, the registration process for the IQwave system is progressing as planned, with completion expected in the second half of 2024. The Company recently secured patent approval for TSE in India, allowing it to bypass competitive tendering in public procurements, though registration in government databases is still required for orders from the state healthcare system.
During the quarter, the Company’s notified body, ECM, conducted a successful audit of the CE marking for IQwave 3.0. Animal Care continues to be the primary revenue driver, and efforts are being focused on enhancing marketing strategies, particularly by leveraging key customers to promote TSE treatment. While recurring treatment kit purchases from customers remain strong, the Company is working to improve the implementation and usage of TSE in clinics, using health economics models to demonstrate the treatment’s potential benefits and positioning it relative to other options.
Given the current financial climate, the Company is prioritizing cost efficiency and resource optimization over short-term growth. Efforts to secure new partnerships and long-term investors are ongoing to support the company’s commercial and clinical objectives. The Company is increasingly confident in its ability to forecast future success, with a focus on achieving a paradigm shift in cost-effective treatments that benefit patients, clinics, and hospitals alike.
