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.

CellaVision Interim Report January-March 2023 / Page 4
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.
