Message from the CEO

“We are pleased to report another successful year. We closed on a historically strong note with our best quarter ever. The high number of quotes that we sent out during the year proved successful, as our sales increased by 20% in the second half of the year. Total sales increased by 19% during the year, reaching nearly SEK 50 million, driven by strong demand for both our core platform, GARD®, and VitroScreen’s pre-clinical efficacy tests. In the second half of the year, we cut our loss in half and are now very close to breaking even. This shows that we are on track to reach the sales volumes and margins required for sustained profitable growth.”

Peter Nählstedt, President and CEO
