In the second quarter of 2025, organic sales adjusted for currency effects increased, driven by steady demand for laboratory equipment and rental of equipment for clinical studies. Operating cash flow improved in the quarter, and EBITA was in line with last year with a stronger margin. Through the new capital structure, ADDvise’s annual interest expenses are expected to decrease by approximately SEK 56 million, which provides good conditions for continued growth.

CEO’s comment
A stable quarter and improved capital structure
It is gratifying to note that we continue to grow organically underlying – adjusted for currency effects, growth amounted to 3.8 percent in the second quarter. However, we have clear headwinds from exchange rate changes, especially in relation to the US dollar and the Brazilian real. EBITA is in line with the previous year with a slightly improved margin. Despite currency headwinds, EBITA is not affected to any great extent, which is due to the fact that a majority of costs are in the same currency as revenues and are positively affected by a stronger SEK.
Market demand remains stable, but we note some hesitation regarding larger capex-related investments. This caution reflects an environment characterized by both geopolitical tensions and concerns about potential tariff changes. We note that order intake is impacted by the fact that we received a large order in the Lab business unit amounting to USD 11.3 million in Q2 2024. Adjusted for currency effects, we see a stable order intake in the healthcare segment.
Operating cash flow amounted to SEK 16.8 million compared to SEK -18.6 million last year, which is a strong improvement. As before, we are working hard and methodically with our companies to improve cash flow, which further strengthens our financial position.
An important milestone during the quarter was that we successfully established our new financing where we now expanded the financial toolbox with bank financing and new bond financing with improved terms. This change means an annual saving in interest expenses of approximately SEK 56 million. In connection with the refinancing, we have had one-off effects that have had a negative impact on our net financial items. Pro forma, based on the new financing structure, our net income for the quarter would have amounted to approximately SEK 23 million.
With the new financing in place and stable market demand, we are now well positioned to continue our acquisition strategy with more value-creating acquisitions. We continue to see good acquisition opportunities at attractive valuations and that strengthen our position in both Healthcare and Lab.
I would like to extend a warm thank you to all our employees – it is your dedication and professionalism that allows us to live up to our promise every day: save, extend and improve people’s lives.
