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.

These targets represent mid-term expectations rather than forecasts, as Bactiguard sharpens its focus on 
Orthopedics, Cardiology, Neurology, Urology and Vascular Access while investing in R&D and business 
development for long-term growth. 
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.
