CEO’s comment
The challenges experienced by CellaVision in 
the previous two quarters continued to impact 
the first quarter of 2023. Cautious working 
capital management by distribution partners, 
renewed confidence in the global supply 
situation, increasing inflation and interest rates 
led to a reduced need for safety stock in all 
geographical regions. This restrained sales in 
several key markets due to a lower order intake as 
distribution partners reduced the inventory levels. 
Growth was further slowed by the market 
conditions in APAC which continued to be 
shaped by some unpredictability of COVID-
implications in the important market of 
China. Recurring sales were less impacted by 
market volatility and our reagents showed solid 
performance in the quarter. 
The quarter saw a slight improvement in gross 
margin compared to the last two quarters in 
2022, as price increases negotiated last year for 
customers started to take effect. We expect the 
full effect of the price increases to be visible in the 
upcoming quarter. 
Our distribution partners indicate that the 
underlying growing demand for digital cell 
morphology remains and the end of the pandemic 
across EMEA and the Americas and the changing 
supply situation suggests that inventory levels 
now have normalized. Consequently, we expect 
our order pattern to improve throughout 2023. 
Increased cost control has been implemented but 
investments in research and development will 
be continued to support our long-term financial 
ambition. 
The first quarter in brief
Net sales for the Group were SEK 139 m (162) in 
the first quarter. Organic growth, adjusted for 
positive currency effects was negative 21 percent 
compared to the same quarter in 2022. It was 
only in EMEA that sales increased compared 
to the corresponding quarter last year. The 
Americas reported sales of SEK 59 m (82), which 
is a decrease in relation to relatively tough 
comparative figures. This is mainly explained by 
inventory reductions at distribution partners. In 
EMEA, sales increased slightly to SEK 65 m (62) 
driven by increased reagent sales and currency 
tailwinds. In APAC, sales declined to SEK 16 m 
(18), reflecting uncertain post-COVID market 
conditions in China. Operating cash flow was 
SEK 19 m (38). The Group’s total cash flow for 
the quarter amounted to SEK -15 m (15). 
Progress on strategic direction
The recently launched DIFF-Line™ solution for 
small and mid-sized laboratories is considered 
a big win for our customers, as well as an 
opportunity for us to increase sales of reagents 
and the DC-1 globally. 
Our hematology reagents continue to gain 
market share in EMEA, with significant 
growth in the quarter. In APAC, marketing 
efforts related to classic reagents are making 
good headway, and an increasing number of 
commercialization activities are ongoing in 
several local markets. 
We have continued to focus on the market for 
specialized microscopy analyses, which is an 
opportunity to integrate the DC-1 into large 
laboratories. Resources have been invested in 
the ongoing efforts to develop an application 
for analyzing bone marrow samples. A first 
version of the bone marrow application will be 
demonstrated in the next quarter. Our plan is 
to start the clinical validation during the year, 
with the aim to launch a CE-marked In Vitro 
Diagnostics (IVD) bone marrow application in 
2024.
Short-term challenges resulted in an 
unmet growth ambition, but our long-term 
commitment to resuming revenue growth and 
margin expansion is unchanged. Our strategic 
priorities remain firm, and we are committed to 
elevate healthcare as well as to create value for 
all stakeholders.

Sales, earning and investments
Sales and exchange effects
Net sales for the Group’s first quarter decreased by 14 percent 
to SEK 139 m (162), compared to the corresponding quarter 
last year.  CellaVision invoices most of the sales in Euros and 
US dollars, which means that exchange rate fluctuations have 
an impact on the company’s sales and earnings. Adjusted 
for positive currency effects of 7 percent, sales decreased 
organically by 21 percent compared to the corresponding 
quarter in 2022.
Gross profit and gross margin
Gross profit decreased by 16 percent to SEK 97 m (116) during 
the first quarter, corresponding to a gross margin of 70 percent 
(71).  The gross margin is primarily affected by purchase prices 
for materials and components, the product mix, depreciation 
of capitalized development expenses as well as currency effects. 
Price increases towards customers during 2023 resulted in 
an improved gross margin for the first quarter of the year 
compared to the last quarters of 2022 when gross margin 
was burdened by increased material costs and limited price 
increases to customers.   
Depreciation of capitalized development expenses were on par 
with the corresponding quarter last year and amounted to SEK 
2 m (2) for the first quarter.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased by 9 percent to SEK 72 m (66) 
during the first quarter.  The increase is most accentuated in 
cost for sales as well as research and development, as decided 
according to the strategic direction. During the latter part 
of 2022, increased cost control was introduced in the form 
of restrained recruitment and a reduced number of external 
consultants. The introduced measures have so far had only a 
marginal effect.
EBITDA and EBITDA margin
EBITDA decreased by 41 percent to SEK 35 m (59) during 
the first quarter, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 25 
percent (36). The lower EBITDA margin for the quarter is 
attributable to a decrease in sales at the same time as operating 
expenses have increased.  
Net financial items
The Group’s interest-bearing liabilities in the form of bank 
loans amounted to SEK 57 m (83).  Interest expenses from bank 
loans amounted to SEK 0.6 m (0. 3) in the quarter. In addition 
to interest expense from bank loans, net financial income is 
attributable to foreign exchange gain/loss on acquisition loans 
in Euro and interest on leasing liability in accordance with 
IFRS 16.
Investments
The Group continuously capitalizes expenses for product 
development. Capitalized development expenses increased 
during the quarter to SEK 14 m (10). The quarter’s total 
research and development expenses, before capitalization, 
increased to SEK 34 m (28).  The increase is attributable to 
CellaVision’s long-term product development goals.  Most 
of the capitalized expenses are related to development of 
instruments and software applications.

Cash flow
The Group’s cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 93 m (147).  
The cash flow effect from change in working capital amounted to SEK -13 m (-6) for the 
quarter and is mainly explained by more capital tied up in inventory as a result of lower sales. 
The Group cash flow from operating activities decreased compared with the corresponding 
quarter last year, which for the quarter amounted to SEK 19 m (38) which is a consequence of 
lower profit before tax and the increase in working capital.
Cash flow from investing activities for the quarter amounted to SEK -23 m (-13) and is mainly 
related to capitalized development expenses, as well as expansion of production capacity in 
France.
Cash flow from financing activities for the quarter amounted to SEK -11 m (-10) and has been 
affected by amortization of loans of SEK -8 m (-8) and amortization of lease liabilities of SEK 
-3 m (- 2).
The Group’s total cash flow for the quarter amounted to SEK -15 m (15).
Parent company
Apart from manufacturing of reagents, the group is in all material aspects represented by the 
operations in the parent company, the comments on the group’s result and financial position 
also refers to the parent company.

Development in the geographical markets
Americas: SEK 59 m (82)
In the Americas, sales decreased by 29 percent to SEK 59 m 
compared to the corresponding quarter in 2022. However, 
market activity remains high, and our distribution partners’ 
prospect funnels and order intakes are good, which is in sharp 
contrast to the decline in the quarter. The decrease in sales 
is related to significant reductions in inventory levels at our 
distribution partners. Order cycles are expected to stabilize as 
inventory levels normalize.
Large instrument sales reported a decline in the quarter, as did 
software, which is primarily associated with instrument sales. 
However, the frequency for which CellaVision instruments 
are included in an installation of a new hematology line, 
the so-called “attachment rate”, continue to be high and the 
shortage of skilled laboratory personnel continue to drive the 
underlying need for CellaVision technology.
EMEA: SEK 65 m (62)
In EMEA, sales increased by 4 percent to SEK 65 m compared 
to the corresponding quarter in 2022. The growth is partly 
explained by currency tailwinds, but mainly because sales 
of hematology reagents increased in mature markets. Sales 
of hematology reagents increased with 23 percent in local 
currency compared to the corresponding quarter last year. 
Instrument sales decreased by 5 percent compared to the 
corresponding quarter last year. A clear contributing factor 
is decreased inventory and safety stock levels by larger 
distribution partners. 
A positive driver is our Remote Review Software, which 
enables customers to work remotely with our instruments. 
Sales and marketing activities increased, as did initiatives to 
enhance collaboration with distribution partners.
The Medlab Middle East exhibition, one of the larger 
exhibitions in the industry in EMEA, took place in February. 
A large number of customers and distribution partners were 
present and showed great interest in our solutions.
APAC: SEK 16 m (18)
In APAC, sales decreased by 13 percent to SEK 16 m compared 
to the corresponding quarter in 2022. Even though pandemic-
related restrictions are lifting across the region, the installation 
rate is still below pre-pandemic levels due to postponed public 
sector bids in several markets across the region. Distribution 
partners are carefully monitoring the level of hematology tests 
and indicate that they are slowly returning to pre-pandemic 
levels.
Marketing and promotion activities are increasing across the 
region and are expected to have positive effects in the long-
term given the relative long sales cycles. 
Reagent sales grew steadily, although from a low level. The 
activities and interest in the region for hematology reagents is 
high and orders from several countries are now coming in.

Improving healthcare through continuous 
innovation is a fundamental ambition 
of CellaVision. The company devotes 
considerable resources to research 
and development to lead technology 
transformation and offer innovative solutions 
that meet customer needs and improve 
laboratory workflows.
The development of an analysis for bone 
marrow samples progressed well during the 
quarter, and some initial tests were performed 
with external experts. The feedback was very 
positive both regarding the analysis and the 
image quality. 
The planned update of the system software 
for blood analysis, which includes digitization 
of the edge of the blood smear, the so-
called feathered edge, has been expanded 
with further workflow improvements. The 
validation has now begun, and the goal is to 
introduce the software to the market in mid-
2023. 
Production was stable during the period 
and there were no significant problems with 
component supply. CellaVision has also 
built safety stock of critical components 
to reduce the risk of future production 
disruptions. However, the production costs 
for instruments are still increasing due to high 
inflation. 
The CellaVision patent portfolio at the end 
of the period included 25 patented inventions 
and 114 granted patents.

Total tangible fixed assets 119,088 79,340
The tangible fixed assets amounted to SEK 119 m on the balance sheet date. The majority 
of the right of use assets consists of leases for office premises. For all leases for which the 
Group is lessee (which are not short term leases or low value assets), the Group recognizes a 
right of use asset and a lease liability.  
                                                                                                                                                                            
When valuating the right of use asset, the acquisition method is used, i.e the right of use 
asset is calculated at acquisition cost, adjusted for any revaluation of the lease liability less 
depreciation.  
 
The right of use asset is reported as a tangible fixed asset, while leasing liability is reported 
separately in the Group's statement of financial position as long-term debt, interest-bearing 
and short-term debt, interest-bearing.
