CEO comment
“Once again XVIVO delivered a quarter with good sales growth across all business areas. Sales in the second quarter amounted to SEK 94 million (59), equivalent to growth of 59 percent. Organic growth amounted to 28 percent adjusted for currency effects.
Given the current inflationary climate and the uncertainty currently within the world, I am convinced that a profitable core business is key, now more than ever. Hence, it is pleasing that we continue to generate solid gross margins in disposables. Thoracic’s margins increased to 82 percent (80) and Abdominal’s margins increased to 56 percent (50), which were driven by the price increases incorporated across all markets together with focus on production profitability.
The launch of Kidney Assist Transport in the US has started and we are experiencing a significant interest amongst kidney clinics. We have a concept and structure in Europe which has enabled us to become market leader within liver transplantations in Europe and I am excited to start the same journey in the US with kidney transplants. “ – Dag Andersson, CEO XVIVO
