CEO’s Comment
The first quarter showed a solid start to the year, with
all regions contributing to growth in a rapidly changing
environment. We continue to see strong traction for our
solutions, particularly in markets where laboratories are
connected within larger networks that recognize the value
our products bring to diagnostic workflows.
The volatile global macro-environment is closely monitored,
setting this aside, we remain optimistic in our ability to
drive growth and deliver long-term value across all markets.
CellaVision’s business is subject to quarterly fluctuations due
to its order-based sales process and delivery timing.
The First Quarter in Brief
Our financial results reflect the positive momentum of
digitalization in the dynamic macro-environment. Net sales for the
Group reached SEK 195 m (170), representing 14.1 percent organic
growth compared to the same quarter last year. EBITDA
amounted to SEK 66 m (49), corresponding to a margin of
34 percent (29). The gross margin amounted to 70 percent (66)
and the improvement was mainly driven by last year’s price
increases and the favorable sales mix during the quarter.
Cash flow from operating activities was strong, supported by
improved earnings and favorable changes in working capital.
It amounted to SEK 61 m (71), contributing to a total cash
flow of SEK 37 m (44) for the quarter. Our financial position
remains robust.
In the Americas, after two soft quarters, we saw increased
sales by 8 percent, reaching SEK 78 m (72). Sales increased,
particularly in software and CellaVision®DC-1 instruments.
Our offering in the U.S. market is compelling, as laboratories
within larger networks recognize the added value our products
bring to diagnostic workflows.
EMEA experienced strong sales across multiple markets,
resulting in net sales of SEK 96 m (79) for the quarter, which
represents 21 percent growth. Reagents related to hematology
continued with a good quarter, growing by 12 percent.
APAC showed strong demand from all submarkets, including
the important markets of Japan and China. Quarterly net sales
totaled SEK 21 m (19), a 12 percent growth over the same quarter
last year. Instrument sales continue to be the main source of
revenue, while strategic reagent segments are gaining foothold.
Progress on Strategic Direction
We maintained a high level of activity across our R&D portfolio
in the quarter. Our innovation capacity is expanding, with
development costs in the first quarter totaling SEK 43 m (36)
— an increase of 17 percent compared to the first quarter in 2024.
The first quarter of the year continued to solidify our long-
standing partnership that has been pivotal in delivering
enhanced diagnostic solutions. The partnership reflects our
shared commitment to improving patient care worldwide.
Additionally, we have initiated verification and validation of
an upgraded software version for the hematology analyzers.
This software version will further optimize the customers’
workflow and offer significant improvements in the user
interface, including several new features.
Finally, I want to extend my sincere thanks to our dedicated
employees. Your commitment to driving our R&D and
commercial agendas forward has been instrumental in our
continued success. Entering the year, we delivered a strong
quarter. Together, we remain focused on adding value to the
healthcare sector and strengthening our global presence as the
leader within digital cell morphology.

Sales, Earning and Investments
Net Sales and Currency Effects
Net sales for the first quarter amounted to SEK 195 m (170), an
increase of 14.6 percent compared to the corresponding period
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. Currency effects
were minor, contributing to a positive impact of 0.5 percent
compared to the same period last year. Organic growth amounted
to 14.1 percent.
Gross Profit and Gross Margin
Gross profit for the first quarter increased by 22 percent to
SEK 137 m (112), corresponding to a gross margin of 70 percent (66).
The gross margin is influenced by factors such as purchase
prices for materials and components, sales mix, amortization of
capitalized development expenses, inventory adjustments, and
currency effects. The improved gross margin in the quarter was
primarily driven by last year’s price increases and a favorable
sales mix.
Amortization of capitalized development expenses was
unchanged from the same period last year and amounted to
SEK 2 m (2).
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the first quarter increased by 9 percent
to SEK 80 m (73), compared to the same period last year.
Administrative expenses have increased due to inflation and a
rise in consulting expenses, primarily related to the adaption of
new regulatory requirements.
The increase in research and development expenses aligns with
CellaVision’s long-term product development strategy.
EBITDA and EBITDA Margin
EBITDA for the first quarter increased by 35 percent to
SEK 66 m (49) corresponding to an EBITDA margin of
34 percent (29). The performance was primarily driven by sales
growth and favorable gross margin, which more than offset the
increase in operating expenses.
Net Financial Items
As of March 31, 2025, interest-bearing liabilities in the form of
bank loans amounted to SEK 5 m (27). Interest expenses related
to bank loans for the first quarter totaled SEK 0.1 m, (0.4)
compared to the same quarter last year.
The net financial result for the quarter is primarily attributable
to exchange losses on financial items and interest expenses on
lease liabilities in accordance with IFRS 16.
Investments
CellaVision continuously capitalizes expenses related to
product development. During the quarter, capitalized
development expenses increased to SEK 18 m (15), driven
by a higher level of activity as several projects entered more
resource-intensive phases in the development lifecycle. Total
research and development expenses before capitalization
amounted to SEK 43 m (36).
The majority of the capitalized expenses relate to the
development of instruments and software applications.

Cash Flow
At the end of the quarter, cash and cash equivalents amounted
to SEK 182 m (167). In addition, CellaVision has an unutilized
overdraft facility of SEK 30 m (30).
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 61 m (71)
in the first quarter of 2025. The solid financial performance and
lower capital tied up in inventory contributed positively to cash
flow. At the same time, the increase in sales during the quarter
resulted in higher accounts receivable, which had an adverse
impact on operating cash flow.
Cash flow from investing activities for the quarter amounted to
SEK -21 m (-17) and was mainly related to capitalized expenses
for research and development.
Cash flow from financing activities for the quarter amounted to
SEK -3 m (-10), and was primarily attributable to amortization
of leasing debts.
The total cash flow for the quarter amounted to SEK 37 m (44).

Development in the Geographical Markets
Americas: SEK 78 m (72)
After two soft quarters, sales in the Americas increased
by 8 percent, reaching SEK 78 m (72), compared to the
corresponding quarter in 2024.
The growth was primarily driven by strong sales of software
and CellaVision® DC-1 instruments in the U.S., particularly
to connected laboratories, where CellaVision offers a unique
market solution. Our offering is compelling in the U.S market,
where laboratories, to a large extent, are connected within
larger networks that recognize the value our products bring
to the diagnostic workflows. Demand for digital morphology
solutions remains strong, particularly in smaller hospital
laboratories, where significant growth potential is anticipated.
However, the current turbulent trade situation adds a layer of
uncertainty, making it difficult to predict how this potential
will unfold.
In Latin America, we continue to make progress in expanding
our market presence. Brazil remains our strongest market,
where ongoing training, targeted sales initiatives, and focused
marketing activities have successfully enabled us to reach
previously untapped areas.
EMEA: SEK 96 m (79)
Sales in EMEA increased by 21 percent to SEK 96 m (79),
demonstrating the strength of our market strategy. The growth
was primarily driven by strong CellaVision™ DI-60 and
CellaVision® DC-1 instrument sales, reinforcing CellaVision’s
leadership in digital morphology solutions. The growing
adoption of our technology in networked laboratories reflects
the industry’s continued shift toward digitalization.
The close collaboration with our strategic distribution partner
and targeted investments in training and support have been
critical in maintaining our competitive position. Strengthening
relationships with both partners and laboratories is key to
remaining the preferred choice in an evolving market.
By participating in key industry events, such as MedLab Middle
East in Dubai and IGLD-INSTAND in Frankfurt, we have further
solidified our market presence. These platforms allow us to
showcase cutting-edge technology, engage with new customers,
and strengthen partnerships with key decision-makers.
Sales of hematology reagents continued to develop positively,
with 12 percent growth compared to the first quarter of
2024. Sales of sample preparation instruments also showed
significant growth. Active sales and marketing initiatives
throughout the quarter, carried out in collaboration with local
and regional partners, have generated increased interest in both
reagent and instrument product portfolios.
APAC: SEK 21 m (19)
Sales in APAC increased by 12 percent in the first quarter of
2025, reaching SEK 21 m (19), compared to the same period in
2024. The quarter reflects the strong momentum we have seen
across many submarkets in APAC over the past year, not least
in important markets such as Japan and China.
Demand for DI-60 instruments remains strong, and sales in
the strategic reagent segments continue to grow, although
from relatively low levels. CellaVision has intensified local
marketing efforts and customer engagement activities in
close collaboration with our key distribution partner. These
initiatives support sales growth across the entire CellaVision
product portfolio and are expected to drive further expansion
in the region.

Our vision is to elevate healthcare through
the evolution of microscopy. By devoting
considerable resources to research and
development, we continue pushing the
boundaries of innovation to lead the future
of microscopy. Thus, improving the quality of
care for patients worldwide.
CellaVision continues with clinical trials of
the application for bone marrow analysis. The
application’s high regulatory classification
requires a long registration process. Assuming
a positive outcome, we expect to have the
documentation reviewed to obtain CE-marking
by the end of 2025.
In parallel, verification and validation of an
upgraded software version for the hematology
analyzers have been initiated. This software
version will further optimize the customer’s
workflow and offer significant improvements in
the user interface, including several new features.
The development of adapting Fourier
Ptychographic Microscopy (FPM) in our core
hematology business continues. Through
the integration of FPM, we are pioneering
the next generation of hematology solutions
and strengthening our position as a leader in
advanced diagnostics. In parallel, we continue
to explore the technology’s potential in
adjacent fields such as pathology and cytology.
We see that the technology’s advantages of
speed and superior image quality are especially
valuable in these new areas. Preliminary
evaluations show that FPM has great
advantages over traditional technologies.
CellaVision’s patent portfolio included 26
patented innovations and 126 granted patents
at the end of the period.

and short-term debt, interest-bearing.

The company presents certain financial measures in the interim
report which are not defined according to IFRS. The financial me-
trics are used by the company’s management to evaluate relevant
trends, and the company believes that they can provide valuable
supplementary information to investors. CellaVision’s definitions
of these measures may differ from other companies’ definitions
of the same terms. These financial measures should therefore be
seen as a supplement rather than as a replacement for measures
defined according to IFRS.

Mission
To advance laboratory workflow and diagnostic certainty
through intelligent microscopy
Our tools for automating cell classification with
diagnostic certainty include analyzers, reagents,
smearing, staining devices, and software.
Vision
Elevating healthcare through the evolution of microscopy
We provide digital microscopy solutions to make
laboratory work easier and more efficient. Because
the faster a blood sample can be correctly analyzed,
the faster a patient can be diagnosed and treated.
About Us
CellaVision is an innovative, global medical technology company
that develops and sells its own leading solutions for routine
analysis of blood and other body fluids in health care services.
These analyses play a vital role in swift and accurate disease
diagnoses, particularly in cases of infections and serious cancer
diseases. The products replace manual laboratory work, and
secure and support effective workflows and skills development
within and between hospitals. The company has leading-edge
expertise in sample preparation, image analysis, artificial
intelligence and automated microscopy. Sales are via global
partners with support from the parent company in Lund, Sweden
and by the company´s 12 local market support organizations
covering more than 40 countries.
Our Strategic Ambition: The Power of Focus
Our strategic ambition is to digitalize and improve microscopy
workflows to provide diagnostic certainty in the medical labs
of the world. Our strategy is supported by our organization,
processes and culture. The strategy rests on five strategic pillars:
1. Maximize our leading position in large laboratories
2. Accelerate the worldwide adoption of the DC-1
3. Accelerate our global leadership in reagents
4. Expand into specialized microscopy analyses
5. Explore new areas of analytics with innovation
Financial Ambition
CellaVision’s objective is to create a global standard for digital
microscopy. The objective is broken down in two important
financial targets:
• Sales growth
Increase sales over an economic cycle by an average of around
15 percent per year.
• Profitability
The EBITDA margin is to exceed 30 percent over an economic cycle.
