CEO statement
Continued profitability and revenue growth for Bactiguard
Following the 2024 financial turnaround, we continue our profitable path with yet another strong quarter. EBITDA
amounted to SEK 9.4 million (Q1 2024: SEK -1.5 million) and revenues increased by 6.7 percent compared to Q1
last year and landed at SEK 62.7 million (Q1 2024: SEK 58.8 million). Our license business developed well,
primarily driven by the successful collaboration with license partner BD, demonstrating a consistent positive
financial performance thanks to our strategic transition. The Wound Management portfolio also had a strong
quarter with a revenue increase of more than 50 percent, fueled by a significant rise in sales of Hydrocyn aqua.
During the quarter, we also updated our strategic and financial targets and core therapeutic areas, areas where
our infection prevention solutions can play an important role in addressing the unmet need associated with
medical device related infections.
Solid BD partnership drives license revenue increase
Total license revenues for Q1 amounted to SEK 39.3 million (Q1 2024: SEK 35.1 million). Revenues from license
partner MedTech company BD (Becton, Dickinson & Company) were SEK 32.2 million for Q1 (Q1 2024: SEK
28.0 million). Our successful and expanding collaboration – spanning the entire value chain from technology
license to go-to-market strategies – remains the cornerstone in our partnership. A recent example from March this
year was when Bactiguard and BD were at leading healthcare conference in India, CRITICARE 2025. This
marked an important step in informing local stakeholders and key opinion leaders that BD will take over the sales
and distribution of Bactiguard-coated Foley catheters in India. Revenues from Zimmer Biomet for Q1 amounted to
SEK 0.9 million (Q1 2024: SEK 3.2 million) and consist of royalties related to the trauma agreement.
Commercialization of the ZNN Bactiguard orthopedic trauma nail continued, particularly in Europe. Our activities
on the MDR transition across Europe also continued during the quarter. In parallel, Zimmer Biomet has four
clinical trials ongoing, focusing on infection rates, safety, and clinical outcomes.
Wound Management revenue fueled by a rise in sales of Hydrocyn aqua
The Wound Management portfolio had a strong first quarter with revenues of SEK 19.2 million (Q1 2024: SEK
12.7 million). The increase was driven by a significant rise in sales of Wound Management’s main brand
Hydrocyn aqua. During the quarter, our Malaysia facilities were ISO 14001 certified from the British Standards
Institution manifesting our commitment to high quality and responsible manufacturing and production processes.
Refined core therapeutic areas and updated targets
In March, we announced our refined strategic therapeutic areas concentrating on where Bactiguard’s technology
offers the greatest and most realizable potential, in essence areas where our infection prevention solutions can
play an important role in addressing the unmet need associated with medical device related infections. This was
also reflected in our updated targets: delivering at least SEK 600 million in revenue and at least SEK 200 million
in EBITDA by year-end 2030 supported by a goal of securing at least ten application areas in exclusivity or
license partnership. Our scalable business model, combined with strong operational leverage, is expected to
deliver significant value beyond 2030 through partnerships established in the years ahead.
With our existing business as the primary driver of our 2030 targets, our strengthened R&D and regulatory
capabilities are empowering new business development. A key priority is deepening existing licensing
partnerships, such as with BD, while leveraging our innovation in infection prevention to forge new strategic
partnership collaborations.
Volatile global market conditions
Global market conditions are more volatile and unpredictable than ever. Still, we believe that companies with a
clear long-term strategy and strong fundamentals are better positioned to navigate these turbulent times. While it
is impossible to predict the duration of the current uncertainties, our current assessment indicates that the US
tariffs have no direct impact on Bactiguard. However, Bactiguard has substantial USD exposure in the license
business and a weaker USD will have a negative effect on our results. Notably, we do not hedge our currency
exposure. We continue to monitor developments closely, given the rapidly evolving landscape.
More importantly, by delivering yet another profitable quarter, Bactiguard has established a solid foundation to
achieve the updated strategic and financial targets, while maintaining a clear focus on growth and profitability.

Business model
Bactiguard is a global MedTech company developing safe and biocompatible technology to prevent medical
device related infections. The company’s unique technology is based on an ultra-thin noble metal coating that
prevents bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation on medical devices.
Bactiguard’s infection prevention solutions decrease patient suffering, save lives, and unburden healthcare
resources while also fighting against antimicrobial resistance, one of the most serious threats to global health and
modern medicine.
Bactiguard operates through license partnerships with leading global MedTech companies that apply the infection
prevention technology to their medical devices and sell them under their own brand or co-branded with
Bactiguard. Our license-focused business model is scalable with operational leverage.
Partnerships across three phases
Bactiguard’s license revenues have three components: we receive revenues for coating and process
development, we receive revenues for the right to use the coating technology on medical devices within a specific
application and geographical area, and we receive royalties – a variable remuneration once the license partners’
products reach the market. The revenues are generated across three partnership phases: application
development, exclusivity and license.
An application development partner works in close collaboration with Bactiguard’s R&D team exploring the
application of our infection prevention technology to the partners’ underlying device to enhance its performance.
The nature of development work means that not every project will succeed, but the learnings are valuable for
other application areas.
An exclusivity partner gets exclusive rights to apply our coating technology to a certain medical device but has
no products in the market yet, for instance due to pending regulatory approvals, which can take time depending
on the type of application and its classification.
A license partner has the right to market and sell medical devices with Bactiguard’s coating technology, in a
certain region or globally.
Not all partnerships will follow all three phases. An agreement with a partner can generate revenues from
separate phases and components simultaneously.

Key events
Key events during the quarter
At the beginning of February 2025, the company amortized SEK 51.0 million of the SEK 170.9 million financing
with SEB, while securing SEK 120.0 million in new financing on better terms. The new loan runs for two years and
with an option to extend it for another year.
New financial targets, to be delivered by year-end 2030, were published: Revenues SEK 600 million, EBITDA
SEK 200 million and 10 application areas in either exclusivity partnerships or license partnerships.
Key events after the end of the quarter
On 2 April 2025, the United States government announced a new tariff regime introducing a 10 percent baseline
tariff on all imported goods, with higher rates (up to 46 percent) applied to selected countries, including EU
countries. These tariffs are scheduled to take effect in phases beginning 5 April 2025. This policy change may
directly or indirectly impact the cost and flow of goods, potentially affecting pricing, margins, and future demand.
Bactiguard is actively monitoring the situation and assessing potential levers to mitigate any adverse effects.
Financial targets
Following a review announced in connection with the 2024 Q3 report, Bactiguard updated its strategic and
financial targets on 5 March 2025. The company has since then conducted a comprehensive analysis of the
market potential and partnership opportunities for its infection prevention technology. This included an in-depth
evaluation of key strategic therapeutic areas, targeted application areas, associated infection rates, regulatory
approval timelines, partnership timelines and commercial scale-up potential.
The updated targets reflect a sharpened strategic focus on the license business and EBITDA profitability, a
transformation which was delivered in 2024.
Revenues: deliver revenues of at least SEK 600 million by year-end 2030
EBITDA: deliver an EBITDA of at least SEK 200 million by year-end 2030
Partnership development: have at least ten application areas in either exclusivity partnerships or license
partnerships by year-end 2030
These targets replace the 2028 goals set in October 2023. Bactiguard remains committed to EBITDA profitability,
disciplined cost management, and growth in both license partnerships and wound management, with the latter
continuing its double-digit profitability.

Other information
Accounting and valuation principles
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS). The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting and the
Annual Accounts Act. Disclosures in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Reporting are submitted both in notes and
elsewhere in the interim report. The parent company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with the Annual Accounts Act and the Financial Reporting Board's recommendation, RFR 2 Accounting for Legal
Entities.
Accounting and valuation principles are stated in the annual report 2024. The accounting principles are
unchanged from previous periods.
Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may derive
revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision
maker and for which there is separate financial information. The company's reporting of operating segments is
consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision
maker is the function that assesses the operating segment performance and decides how to allocate resources.
The company has determined that the Group’s executive management constitutes of the chief operating decision
maker. The company is considered in its entirety to operate within one business segment.
Parent company
During the period, the parent company has received compensation for services and interest on its receivables
from group companies. No investments were made during the period.
Risk factors
Companies within the Group are exposed to various types of risk through their activities. Bactiguard continually
engages in a process of identifying all risks that may arise and assessing how each of these risks shall be
managed. The Group is working to create an overall risk management program that focuses on minimizing
potential adverse effects on the company's financial results. The company is primarily exposed to financial risks,
market risks and operational risks. A description of these risks can be found on page 18-19 and 53–55 in the
annual report 2024.
The geopolitical situation and macro trends
In addition to identified risks, the macro situation and its impact is continuously monitored. The global healthcare
challenges have a significant impact on society. The need for more efficient and safe healthcare is driven by both
economic and demographic developments, as well as increased political unrest, conflicts, wars, and natural
disasters. Particularly prominent are healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial resistance where we see
an increased interest in infection prevention.
Bactiguard does not have suppliers in or sales to any of Russia, Belarus, or Ukraine. However, the global
economy is affected by the situation of the war, and we follow developments closely and continuously evaluate
the operational and financial effects as the global situation may change and affect the company's financial
position. Bactiguard has a subsidiary in Israel. We are closely following the developments there and our primary
focus is to ensure the staff’s well-being and security. We make the assessment that the conflict in Israel will have
a negligible effect on the group’s result and financial position.
While we see falling inflation levels, inflation and higher prices can continue to affect the company negatively as it
is not always possible to change the price to the customers, all of which can affect the financial position
negatively. The falling inflation levels can lead to lower interest rates, which can positively impact the interest
costs. Some countries are now in or close to recession, which can lead to a decreased ability for customers to
pay their invoices. Bactiguard has substantial USD exposure in the license business and a weaker USD will have
a negative effect on the results, see page 55 in the annual report 2024. The company does not hedge the
currency exposure. Developments are monitored closely, given the rapidly evolving landscape.

Definitions of alternative key performance indicators
Bactiguard presents certain financial measures in its annual report that have not been defined in line with IFRS
(referred to as alternative key performance indicators as set forth in the ESMA guidelines). It is the opinion of the
company that these measures provide useful supplementary information to investors and the company’s
management as they allow for the evaluation of the company’s performance. Since not all companies calculate
the measures in the same way, these are not always comparable to measures used by other companies. These
performance measures should therefore not be considered a substitute for measures as defined under IFRS.
The definitions and tables below describe how the performance measures are calculated. The measures are
alternative in accordance with ESMA’s guidelines unless otherwise stated.
EBITDA
EBITDA presents the company’s earning capacity from ongoing operations irrespective of capital structure and
tax situation. The key figure is used to facilitate comparisons with other companies in the same industry. The
company considers this performance measure to be the most relevant, since the company’s technology is
depreciated by large amounts, which does not impact cash flow negatively. Bactiguard’s patented, unique
technology can be applied to a broad range of products in the licensing business.
The company defines EBITDA as operating profit/loss excluding depreciation and amortization of tangible and
intangible assets.
EBITDA margin
Presents the company’s earning capacity from ongoing operations, irrespective of capital structure and tax
situation, in relation to revenues. The key figure is used to facilitate analysis of the company’s result in
comparison with comparable companies.
Net debt
Net debt is a measure used to describe the Group’s indebtedness and its ability to repay its debt with cash
generated from the Group’s operating activities if the debts matured today. The company considers this key figure
interesting for creditors who want to understand the Group’s debt situation.
The company defines net debt as interest-bearing liabilities minus cash and cash equivalents at the end of the
period.

Equity ratio
Equity ratio is a measure the company considers important for creditors who want to understand the company’s
long-term ability to pay. The company defines equity ratio as equity and untaxed reserves (less deferred tax), in
relation to the balance sheet total.
Cash flow from operating activities per share
Cash flow per share calculated as the cash flow from operating activities divided by the average number of shares
outstanding during the period. The key figure is presented because it is used by analysts and other stakeholders
to evaluate the company – it shows operating cash flow per share.
Profit/loss from financial items
Financial income minus financial expenses. Direct reconciliation against financial report is possible.
RTM/Rolling 12 months
This performance measure implies the twelve months before and including a certain date.

Note 2 Financial assets and liabilities at fair value
The table below shows the breakdown of financial assets and financial liabilities recognized at fair value in the
consolidated balance sheet. Distribution of how fair value is determined is based on three levels.
Level 1: according to prices quoted on an active market for the same instrument.
Level 2: based on directly or indirectly observable market data not included in level 1.
Level 3: based on input data that is not observable on the market.
For description of how fair values have been calculated, see annual report 2024, note 4. Fair value of financial
assets and liabilities is estimated to be substantially consistent with posted values. The balance sheet contains
receivables and liabilities from the business that are held to maturity. These are reported at amortized cost, which
also constitutes an approximation to fair value.
