    In selecting a vendor, our top priority was to find a robust solution with peak performance to enhance our workflow efficiency. We also needed to be proactive and choose a partner with security expertise and ongoing support to ensure a stable full featured system and reliable remote reading capability. Sectra’s cloud service surpassed all our requirements. This service will also enable us to explore additional technologies such as integrating AI-powered workflows and expanding into other enterprise imaging modalities in the future. We are excited to realize the positive impacts and advantages that this implementation will offer to our staff, patients, and community.
    Dr. Saulius Valadka, Chief of Diagnostic Imaging at Halton Healthcare.
    At Sectra, security is engrained in our roots and is an essential part of our enterprise imaging solutions. In fact, our company name is derived from ‘secure transmissions’ and reflects our commitment to upholding high security standards. I am thankful for the trust Halton Healthcare has in Sectra as we move towards a future-state for medical imaging in Canada with our service Sectra One Cloud. I look forward to embarking this cloud partnership with Halton and supporting them every step of the way.
    Nader Soltani, President, Sectra Canada Inc.
    As a first-of-type for public cloud in the NHS, we have proven this works. Being bleeding edge can be a challenge. But we have achieved a milestone in cloud adoption for NHS imaging. Feedback from radiologists has been nothing but positive. The system is highly reliable, secure, resilient and performs well, supporting our diagnostic teams with lots more functionality that is proving very popular with radiologists. This also has the potential to help us to adopt AI into the future.
    Adham Nicola, PACS manager for Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.
    Having imaging available in the public cloud will enable closer collaboration and better access to expertise, especially in areas where there are finite number of specialist radiologists. The team at Homerton Healthcare have not only made a significant achievement in demonstrating to the NHS what is possible in the cloud, but have completed a stage towards regional consolidation.
    Niall Canavan, IT director at Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and chief information officer for North East London Health and Care Partnership
    What has been achieved by pioneering imaging professionals in Homerton could very quickly become the norm in the NHS. I’m sure many trusts, integrated care systems and NHS imaging networks will look to the trust to learn how they can replicate success as they transition to public cloud. We will certainly be sharing knowledge from this deployment with other NHS customers, as public cloud adoption continues at pace with the potential to enhance how staff work and to save important time in technology adoption.
    Jane Rendall, UK and Ireland managing director for Sectra
    A sustainable future is about making our customers successful. I can’t repeat this enough. To succeed we must have satisfied customers, which in turn requires that we have satisfied employees and a corporate culture that encourages engagement and motivation. At Sectra, we are proud that our customers time and time again say how satisfied they are with our employees and our efforts to make a positive difference in society.
    Torbjörn Kronander, President and CEO of Sectra AB
    All of our operating areas are growing. Secure Communications is continuing to make a more significant contribution to the Group’s profit than in the past and, for the first time, exceeded SEK 300 million in sales for the rolling 12-month period. We are also in an expansive phase in medical imaging IT, with major investments in delivery capacity in parallel with transitioning our business to service sales instead of product sales.
    Torbjörn Kronander, President and CEO of Sectra AB
    The Group’s profitability for the nine-month period exceeded our target operating margin, even if variations between individual quarters still are significant. We will have to live with this for a while yet. The important things in the long term are that we continue to have satisfied customers and that we are continuing to grow. 
    Torbjörn Kronander, President and CEO of Sectra AB
    Healthcare and data security are both areas that are expected to grow for a long time to come, and that are relatively unaffected by the economic climate. While our strategic investment in service sales is having a short-term negative impact on our financial outcome and growth, it will be beneficial in the long term. Not least because Sectra’s customers are satisfied and stay with us for a long time. With loyal customers and long-term relationships combined with a strong brand in growing areas, we have every reason to remain optimistic about the future.
    Torbjörn Kronander, President and CEO of Sectra AB
    I am proud to be able to offer a solution that helps hospitals deal with both growing imaging volumes as well as cyberthreats. Our experience in assisting large health networks is key when helping customers on their cloud journey.
    Isaac Zaworski, President of Sectra Inc.
    Collaborating across sites and providing efficient radiology workflows are needed to cope with the increasing imaging volumes. This new customer is the 60th healthcare provider to use Sectra in the US Midwest and I’m pleased to be continuing our work in this area. With our local experience as well as our knowledge in providing multi-site solutions for large organizations we will help them on this journey in the best way possible.
    Isaac Zaworski, President of Sectra Inc.
    It makes me so proud and happy to extend our collaboration with the University of Saarland and to be able to enhance education for their radiographer students.

Also, with our library of real cases, the students will be better prepared for the upcoming professional environments. This will enhance their capability to rapidly integrate and contribute to the clinical environment.
    Johan Carlegrim, President of Sectra’s business unit Medical Education.
    We are looking forward to continuing to support EU organizations in protecting their information exchange. This once again confirms that Sectra has been entrusted to provide high-assurance encryption systems for various EU organizations, member states, and similar multilateral organizations.
    Magnus Skogberg, President of Sectra Communications. 
    These awards showcase our excellent employees who continuously go above and beyond to meet customer needs. Over the past year, we have restructured our organization into teams to ensure consistent and knowledgeable guidance throughout the sales, implementation, and support phases of the customer journey. This, along with product offerings that reduce IT costs, increase security, and grow with our users’ enterprise imaging requirements, has solidified our success.
    Marie Ekström Trägårdh, Executive Vice President Sectra AB and President Sectra Imaging IT Solutions.
    At KLAS, we firmly believe that the voice of healthcare providers and payers is paramount. The Best in KLAS awards are based on extensive feedback and evaluations from healthcare professionals across the nation. Winning a Best in KLAS award, therefore, is not just about recognition; it shows the trust and confidence that healthcare providers place in the winning vendors. It also helps validate each vendor’s commitment to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction. We are proud to recognize 2024’s Best in KLAS award winners! Their unwavering dedication to improving patient outcomes is wonderfully inspiring.
    Adam Gale, CEO of KLAS.
    Being able to communicate securely, regardless of the prevailing circumstances, is crucial for maintaining a secure society. These new orders confirm that Sectra plays an important role in the Swedish civil and military defense’s ability to share classified information. I’m proud that we—together with Swedish authorities—are developing a new communication solution in the form of a desktop phone with a very high security level. The solution will make it possible for multiple people to participate in a secure call, thereby further contributing to efficient collaboration within and between Swedish authorities.
    Magnus Skogberg, President of Sectra Communications.
    Our most valuable asset is our customers’ confidence in our ability to deliver the best possible quality and in our employees’ expertise. We drive innovation through partnerships with customers and various players in the industry. These partnerships aren’t just about research and development, or integration with systems from other suppliers. They are also part of a journey to discover and implement ground-breaking solutions for medical diagnostic imaging and advanced cybersecurity. Our work improves healthcare and makes society more secure. Each step forward that we take together with our customers confirms that Sectra is more than a supplier—we’re seen as a partner, a trusted advisor, who always strives to help our customers.
    Torbjörn Kronander, President and CEO of Sectra AB
    A long-term approach and long-term relationships lead to success. It is incredibly exciting to see all of our operating areas grow. Together, we reported our highest sales to date for a single quarter, and our operating profit exceeded previous second-quarter records. Overall, Sectra had a positive quarter and I look to the future with confidence. Healthcare and data security are both areas that are expected to grow for a long time to come, and that are relatively unaffected by the economy. Customer confidence is crucial in these areas, and Sectra has built up a strong brand in both areas over the course of several years, with happy customers and employees. While the transition to service sales is having a short-term negative impact on our financial outcome, it will be beneficial in the long term. Especially because we have low churn. Sectra’s customers continue to be satisfied and stay with us for a long time.
    Torbjörn Kronander, President and CEO of Sectra AB
    Our new partnership with Sectra will provide Scotland’s NHS radiology teams with an enterprise imaging service that will support our professionals as they deliver efficient and effective diagnoses for patients.

Scotland’s NHS boards are known around the world for delivering excellence in care, and I look forward to Sectra supporting their professionals in the years ahead.
    Jane Rendall, UK and Ireland managing director for Sectra.
    It is important to recognize that even though Sectra has considerable opportunities with new healthcare providers, 98% of our existing surveyed customers said Sectra was part of their long-term plans. This reinforces our belief that excellent products and happy customers will drive future business.
    Isaac Zaworski, President of Sectra Inc.
    This technology will enable THP to expedite the diagnosis and treatment of potentially fatal conditions where every minute counts for improved patient outcomes. We are proud to be the first Canadian adopter of this cutting-edge technology, which has the potential to reinvent how care is delivered within our walls and beyond. Using the Sectra Amplifier Service to deploy this tool, has significantly simplified the process in integrating AI into our workflow.
    Dr. Ivan Diamond, Program Chief and Medical Director Diagnostic Imaging, Trillium Health Partners.
    Over the last five years, AI has been a hot topic within healthcare, and we are seeing the early adopters; predominately in diagnostic imaging. It is encouraging to see Canadian hospitals embrace AI for both research and clinical use, leading to higher-quality patient care for our population. Sectra is committed to serve our customers on their journeys towards AI adoption.
    Nader Soltani, President, Sectra Canada Inc.
    We designed our AW Advanced Visualization family to be an open ecosystem and enable technology integrations — this one with Sectra is a great example. This potential integration aims to increase accessibility and functionality — not only to help clinicians save time and increase productivity, but also streamlining the cardiology care pathway by easing the transition between applications — or even workstations — and reducing total number of clicks.
    Jan Makela, President & CEO, Imaging, GE HealthCare.
    As radiology becomes increasingly specialized, the demand on radiologists intensifies and many more are experiencing burnout. Combating these challenges and addressing the shortage in radiology is our top priority as a diagnostic software company, simplifying daily tasks and ensuring instant access to crucial tools.
    Torbjörn Kronander, President and CEO of Sectra.
    Radiologists today face increasing workloads and the risk of burnout. While we may be unable to decrease the number of imaging studies or increase the number of radiologists, our technology can enhance workflow efficiency and improve work-life balance. We recognize a need for enhanced productivity, regardless of reading location. We aim to address this and other important topics through discussions and live demos at this year’s RSNA, with the goal of relieving some of radiologists’ burdens.
    Marie Ekström Trägårdh, President of Sectra Imaging IT Solutions.
    Sectra's innovative merging of conventional radiology imaging with digital pathology has significantly impacted healthcare institutions aiming for comprehensive diagnostic insights. Michigan medicine’s adoption of Sectra's digital pathology solution symbolizes the success of our ongoing partnership. It highlights the positive influence of an enterprise imaging strategy in providing the highest quality of patient care.
    Isaac Zaworski, President of Sectra Inc.
    We required a single system that could help solve our infrastructure limitations and provide fast access to medical images and data so our staff can make informed decisions faster. Sectra supports the technology and operations of the platform so our team can focus on delivering high-quality patient care in the region.

These successes demonstrate the value we provide for our customers and that our long-term initiatives in research and development are paying off.
    Torbjörn Kronander, President and CEO of Sectra AB.
    All operating areas are showing strong sales growth, which is a result of our desire to have satisfied customers and to offer the latest technology in our areas. I am pleased to report that in the most recent quarter, it was Secure Communications that displayed the strongest improvement. The operating area has achieved a turnaround after a few tough years and the future now looks bright. 
    Torbjörn Kronander, President and CEO of Sectra AB.
    Sectra’s success is the result of a long-term approach—both to research and development and when it comes to establishing good relationships with satisfied customers who then expand their use of Sectra’s solutions and recommend us to others. The major procurement we secured in the US during the quarter is an excellent example of this. Our relationship began when we developed a solution for ophthalmology imaging that the customer has been using for the past few years. Now that they plan to replace their old system for radiology, they have decided to continue building on a solution and supplier with whom they are satisfied and expand their system to include our services for medical diagnostic imaging, Sectra One Cloud.
    Torbjörn Kronander, President and CEO of Sectra AB.
    Health systems are under tremendous pressure to maintain patient excellence while balancing growing financial and staffing concerns. Regardless of size or infrastructure challenges, Sectra is focused on driving down the costs and complexity of traditional on-premise solutions with highly scalable, high-performance enterprise imaging solutions as a service. We are thrilled for the opportunity to help this health leader execute a long-term multi-departmental imaging strategy as they focus on growing quality and sustainability in their health system.
    Isaac Zaworski, the President of Sectra, Inc.
    It will support us in shaping the digital future of our hospital as it allows us to easily expand to other medical specialties and departments. The solution will also streamline our radiologists’ workflow, provide them with user-friendly tools and enable them to collaborate more effectively to ultimately deliver better patient care. The proven high quality and good service were other important aspects when we chose Sectra. Our mission is to provide high-quality medical treatments and customer care, provided by motivated staff. The digitalization of healthcare is important for the future; therefore, we are excited about partnering with Sectra and the implementation of their enterprise imaging solution at our hospital.

    Peter Osinga, Managing Director, Sectra Benelux and DACH.
    We won larger orders than ever before, received distinctions for high levels of customer satisfaction and cybersecurity, and were even ranked as one of the best employers in Sweden. These are just some examples of why 2022/2023 was yet another successful year. These positive results are proof of our ability to deliver value and build a long-term sustainable business.
    Torbjörn Kronander, President and CEO of Sectra AB.
    Sectra’s growth strategy is built on taking good care of our customers. In turn, they expand their use of our solutions and recommend us to others. The inherent growth in our business models has offset the effects of the ongoing shift to services and cloud deliveries, which means that certain sales and earnings will be reported later in time. At the same time, currency movements were incredibly advantageous for us and compensated somewhat for this transition.
    Torbjörn Kronander, President and CEO of Sectra AB.
    The need for increased productivity in healthcare and increased cybersecurity is greater than ever, and Sectra is well positioned to meet these challenges. Our plan for the future is to continue doing what we do well: customer satisfaction, innovation and corporate culture as well as delivering secure, scalable and user-friendly solutions that generate value within medical IT and cybersecurity.
    Torbjörn Kronander, President and CEO of Sectra AB.
    We are excited to begin working together in a more uniform way, and Sectra’s solution will open up that path for us by providing a unified imaging platform that is well integrated with our current IT systems.
    Jurryt Laleeuwe, Head of ICT Applications at AZ Sint Lucas.
    Moreover, the managed service and it being deployed in the cloud will give us more time to focus on the care of our patients.
    Annelies Meyns, Head of ICT Applications at AZ Sint Jan.
    We have identified growth opportunities in the cybersecurity area, where we see a growing need for both advisory and monitoring services to address the intensifying cybersecurity risks within critical infrastructure. Sectra’s already well-developed and established offering of monitoring services will therefore be an excellent complement to our services. We are looking forward to working with Sectra and providing joint support for our customers in tackling the challenges of OT security, which requires continuous development and a broad understanding of the risks that can arise in these complex systems, and how adequate security is created.
    Gustav Sandberg, Head of Business Area Cyber Security at AFRY.
    We saw the need for monitoring services for cybersecurity in critical infrastructure at an early stage and are convinced that this partnership will achieve additional synergies and lead to more growth. In AFRY, we have found a partner with strong expertise in OT security, and an established, broad customer base. We are convinced that our combined expertise in security assessments, monitoring and incident management will increase the security and availability of our customers’ production systems. This, in turn, will benefit society as a whole by increasing the resilience of critical operations such as electricity generation, energy distribution and water supply.
    Magnus Skogberg, President of Sectra Communications.
    It is crucial for us to always be able to communicate classified information, regardless of where and when it is needed. Our users also need to feel confident in the products they are using when discussing sensitive topics. Hence, we chose Sectra’s encryption solution since it is approved and used by similar government organizations in other EU countries.
    A governmental official at the Finnish authority.
    Given the unstable security situation in Europe, there is an increased need within many organizations for secure and approved solutions that can facilitate the exchange of highly classified information. This order shows that our solutions meet these high demands and thereby ensure that the exchanged information stays secure at all times. It is an honor to support the governmental officials in their daily work and to contribute to the information security of the Republic of Finland.
    Pekka Nurhonen, Vice President Sectra Communications OY.
    The need for secure and robust communication systems with high availability is greater than ever before. A quantum-resilient solution is therefore a necessity for our NATO customers to uphold their digital sovereignty. This approval confirms that our latest version of Sectra Tiger/S withstands today’s and future threats.
    Jeroen de Muijnck, Managing Director of Sectra Communications BV.
    We are excited to partner with Sectra and bring their comprehensive enterprise imaging solution to healthcare providers in Poland. We are seeing a growing trend in the Polish market where large hospitals want to transition from department-specific solutions to one enterprise-wide solution that covers all imaging needs. Sectra’s products provide exactly that, and this partnership will enable us to meet the evolving needs of healthcare providers. It has the potential to impact patient care in Poland, especially in complex diagnostics such as cancer.
    Pawel Wiencek, Head Manager at Spring Software Sp. z o.o.
    We are pleased to have found a partner with such a strong network within the Polish healthcare market and a solid understanding of the decision-making processes. We are confident that our enterprise imaging solution, combined with our partner’s local knowledge and experience within medical IT, will enable us to better serve our customers in Poland and help them improve patient care.
