CS MEDICA A/S: Publication of interim report Q3 2021-2022
CS MEDICA (”CS MEDICA” or the ”Company”) hereby publishes its interim report for the period October 2021 – June 2022. The report is available as an attached document to this press release and on the Company’s website (www.cs-medica.com). Below is a summary of the report.
Performance highlights third quarter (April 2022 – June 2022)
This year we have invested heavily in preparing our product portfolio for commercial success to reinforce proof-of-content. We were delayed due to COVID-19 with clinical trials, trademarks and our technology platforms CIM/PIM, which are now live. Additionally, the War in Ukraine has significantly impacted our sourcing and kickstarting of our revenue growth, especially in the European countries. Despite this, we have managed to speed up and get ahead with the commercial rollout in new markets and our three-year plan to generate growth and brand awareness is finally back on track. Since our Vitafoods Fair in May, our sales pipeline has accelerated with the new team and strategy, plus clinical trials finalized to support listings. With contracts signed or up for signature, we aim to match our 2021/2022 target. Further, additional 19 contract negotiations deliver a 26M DKK pipeline and a three-year forecast of 474M DKK. With our additional amounts of leads and more extensive negotiations with i.e., big pharma, we currently track the amount to DKK 650,5 million[1] up to 2025. This means that we no longer only focus on Europe as the go-to-market in the first commercial year but will now reach global distribution. With this broader market coverage, we will additionally be able to drive post-consumer tests and brand awareness faster than expected (year three).
- Operating profit in the third quarter amounted to tDKK -5.442 (tDKK 670)
- As of June 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents in the Company amounted to tDKK 1.836 (tDKK 0).
- At the end of the period, CS MEDICA’s equity/asset ratio was 62% (-1%).
- We see a strong global market potential in our top 25 distributor negations where we estimate the potential sales pipeline to DKK 650,5 million[1] covering the period up to 2025.
