CEO Comments in brief
"I am pleased to report a Q4 result delivering a positive EBITDA and strong Zubsolv® net sales both compared to Q4 2022 and Q3 2023. Zubsolv net sales year over year grew more than 6 percent in both SEK and USD, and nearly 8 percent quarter over quarter. I am also delighted to share that we are continuing to drive efficiencies across the business and have reduced operating expenses by 23 percent from last year. This recovery in financial performance is not driven by exchange rates, on the contrary, our EBITDA in H2 would have been nearly SEK 8 million higher if we had applied the exchange rates from end of 2022.
I am also pleased to announce that we, despite currency headwinds, reached our financial guidance for 2023, and in particular the positive EBITDA for H2. With relatively stable exchange rates and no other extraordinary events in 2024, we are confident we can reach a positive EBITDA for the FY 2024."
