CEO statement

Q3 is the third quarter in a row where we have shown continued revenue growth compared to the same period last year. With this outcome, in Q3 we have already exceeded our revenue figures for the full year 2022. It is of course very gratifying, and clearly shows that our adopted strategy, targeted sales efforts and customers' increased awareness of the value of our services, are paying the dividends we expected. The work continues and our focus now is to work our way through existing orders and ongoing negotiations on new assignments to be able to end the full year 2023 in the best possible way. Sales in the third quarter were not in line with our expectations and solid work is underway to intensify sales in the coming months. These activities have so far resulted in new assignments of approximately SEK 7 million after the reporting period.

We continue to monitor liquidity closely and we have made a significant improvement compared to last year. A stable turnover, where we have invoiced customers continuously, combined with the fact that we have streamlined the organization, has led us to reduce losses by more than 7 MSEK during the first 3 quarters of 2023, compared to the same period last year. These measures, together with the latest share issue, mean that we have a strong cash position even after our repayment of the credit loan we took earlier in the year. We endeavor to take the business to a positive cash flow and aim to achieve this goal in the foreseeable future.

Our ongoing research collaboration with the US FDA is proceeding according to plan and so far this year, we have invoiced about SEK 1.2 million, which is fully in line with the targets set in our agreement with the FDA.

Our other major multinational collaboration with APRINHA is also proceeding according to schedule and we are very much looking forward to the results of this collaboration, in the form of publications, by the end of 2025.

In the coming months, we expect to publish data from our Phase I clinical trial that we successfully completed last year. This will potentially open new collaboration opportunities with partners in a market that is four times larger than our current pre-clinical market.

The search for strategic partners to further broaden our service portfolio is ongoing and we are in continuous dialogue with potential companies to complement our offering. We are reviewing both organic and inorganic options to become a more complete service provider of inhalation services.

Historically, the last quarter is usually the most intense quarter for ISAB and 2023 is no exception. We are working purposefully to deliver on our strategic goals and reach positive cash flow as soon as possible.

Summary of the interim report  

Q3 is the third quarter in a row where we have shown continued sales growth compared to the same period last year. With this outcome, in Q3 we have already exceeded the sales figures for the full year 2022. It is of course very gratifying and clearly shows that our chosen strategy, targeted sales work and customers' increased awareness of the value of our services, are paying the dividends we have expected. The work continues and our focus now is to work our way through existing orders and ongoing negotiations on new assignments to be able to end the full year 2023 in the best possible way. Sales in the third quarter were not in line with our expectations and solid work is underway to intensify sales in the coming months. These activities have so far resulted in new assignments of about 7 MSEK after the reporting period.

We continue to monitor liquidity closely and make a significant improvement compared to last year. A stable turnover where we have invoiced customers continuously, combined with the fact that we have streamlined the organization, has led us to reduce losses by more than 7 MSEK during the first 3 quarters of 2023, compared to the same period last year. These measures, together with the latest share issue, mean that we have a strong cash position even after our repayment of the credit loan we took earlier in the year.
