CliniChain is based in Almere, Netherlands. The revenue for the last twelve months as of June 30, 2022, amounted to EUR 8.36 million, of which recurring revenue accounted for 63.9 percent, with an adjusted EBITDA of EUR 4.60 million, corresponding to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 55.0 percent.

ADDvise Group’s pro-forma revenue per June 30, 2022, including CliniChain, amounts to SEK 1.02 billion with an adjusted EBITDA of SEK 200.9 million, resulting in an adjusted EBITDA margin of 19.8 percent.
