• The company's focus on becoming cash flow positive regarding operating activities is developing well.

• The organic sales growth, including the current order stock, is developing well. Through increased sales resources and strategic partnerships.

• The company's strong financial position and internal infrastructure enable future product portfolio expansion.

• New clinical studies are starting as feasibility studies for larger registration studies.

The company has a positive view of the future and can conclude that the work put in has yielded results in the form of good organic sales growth. With a specified five-point strategy as a starting point, AroCell works to increase sales growth while managing the company's cash and cash equivalents with care. The company has a strong financial position, and AroCell's focus on becoming cash flow positive regarding operational activities is developing positively.

"We are actively working to achieve a positive operational cash flow. Our focus on increasing sales has paid off and we are now seeing strong sales growth. This, in combination with streamlining the organization, has taken us quite a way to reach this goal. It is also quite encouraging to see how quickly we have managed to scale up production to meet the increased sales, which demonstrates the resilience of our company," says Anders Hultman, AroCell's CEO.

AroCell has a complete organization that covers the entire value chain from research and development to sales, production, and distribution. The company's infrastructure thus allows an expansion of the product portfolio if the opportunity arises. A larger product offering gives the company increased relevance and attractiveness in current markets and when establishing new ones.

AroCell's clinical strategy is based on studies and approvals that enable launch in new markets. New studies regarding the products TK 210 and UBC will be starting in Europe in the near future. These studies will serve as feasibility studies for larger registration studies and will be the basis for ensuring the most favorable approach to market approval.
 
More information will be presented at the Strategy Day today, at 09:30 live on redeye.se. Welcome!

A word from the CEO
"Another eventful and good quarter for AroCell has ended. The positive sales trend continues in our two product areas, oncology and bacteriology. It is particularly pleasing that the sales growth rate within our bacteriological segment increased during the quarter and sales within this segment have now more than doubled compared to the previous year. It feels good to see that our work is paying off. At the same time, we continue to work with our clinical programs and development projects.

Today, AroCell has a very advantageous position. We have a strong cash position, strong sales growth, and an organization that covers everything from research and development to sales, production, and distribution. Thanks to our very dedicated and competent employees, we are now seeing significant progress.”

A word from the CEO
”2021 has been an exceptional and important year for AroCell, which has been characterized by major changes and a high work pace. The acquisition of IDL Biotech was a significant step forward for AroCell and now the AroCell Group has a strong foundation that creates a good foundation for implementing our strategy.

To be able to continue the commercialization of our existing products, and to develop and apply for regulatory approval for new products and markets, we have completed a new issue of 86 MSEK. Thanks to the support we received from our shareholders in the now completed share issue, we have everything in place to implement our business plan.

It’s reassuring that despite the restrictions inflicted by the COVID 19 pandemic, we see a strong recovery and growth in the oncology segment, we also saw an all-time high in sales in Germany in 2021. Now that COVID restrictions are loosening and more markets are opening up, there is good hope for continued rapid growth in our oncology segment. During the pandemic, AroCell has systematically reached out to new markets for our bacteriology product TUBEX® TF, which we hope to see results of soon. In parallel with this, planning for future clinical studies that will form the basis for several approvals of our products on new markets are ongoing.”
