CEO-comment
“The year started with significant advances in heart preservation. This strengthens our belief that the XVIVO Heart Assist Transport will play a key role in heart transplantation globally. The first quarter started strongly financially: Net sales totaled SEK 186 million with growth in local currency of 32 percent. Progress was driven by increased transplant activity and strong momentum in the lung and liver business. When summarizing the first quarter, it can be concluded that our recent goal-oriented work is paying off in the form of strong growth, positive margins and success achieved together with our customers and partners. Our continued razor-sharp focus on commercial implementation and advances in development projects will lead to more patient lives being saved and help us move closer to realizing our vision that nobody should die waiting for a new organ.” – Christoffer Rosenblad, CEO
