Q2 – iZafe Group

Correction: iZafe Group Q2 Interim Report, April-June 2023

The MAR stamp was mistakenly not included in the initial PM.

iZafe Group AB (publ.) presents today, August 25, its report for the second quarter.

Financial Performance in Summary

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 403 (84) thousand, a growth of 380% compared to the corresponding quarter last year. The increase in turnover can partly be attributed to organic growth, partly to growth through acquisition, when Pilloxa was acquired in December 2022. Excluding the turnover from the acquired company, the growth amounted to 198%. The quarter’s turnover consists of income attributable to the sale of the digital pharmaceutical robot Dosell and the sale of the medical device Pilloxa. Pilloxa AB was acquired on 28 November 2022 and is therefore not included in the quarter’s turnover for the previous year.
Operating profit for the quarter amounted to SEK -5,097 (-5,184) thousand.
Profit after financial items for the quarter amounted to -5,136 (-5,233) TSEK.
Cash flow for the period amounted to SEK -3,496 (-7,155) thousand.
Earnings per share for the quarter before / after dilution amounted to SEK 0.0 (-0.1).
Equity per share amounted to SEK 0.2 (0.4) at the end of the period.
The equity ratio at the end of the period amounted to 82.4 (81.8) percent.

Significant events during the quarter

iZafe has signed a cooperation agreement with Spanish Ti-Medi for the rights to sell and market the medication robot Dosell. Ti-Medi’s minimum commitment over a four-year period is worth at least SEK 12 million.
iZafe has signed a cooperation agreement with MDM Pulse for the right to sell and market the medicine robot Dosell in Portugal. MDM Pulse’s minimum commitment over a five-year period amounts to SEK 12.2 million to subsequently generate a recurring license income of at least SEK 4.2 million annually.

Significant events after the end of the quarter

iZafe successfully completed all necessary technical integrations and adaptations to launch Dosell on the Dutch market. The company will now deliver 50 units for testing. After successful testing, the remaining 1,000 units will be delivered successively during the year.

Comments from CEO
I am pleased to share with you the latest progress and developments in our company during the past quarter. Despite an initially low turnover, our focus on the right strategies and measures has resulted in a positive increase in our turnover. This increase, although it may be modest, marks a turning point in the right direction. Together with our continuous effort to streamline and reduce costs, we now stand on a stable foundation.

I feel confident that the liquidity we obtained in March will be sufficient to bring us to a cash flow positive position. Our determination to optimize our finances and capital utilization has set us on this promising path forward. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you for your continued trust and investment in our company. Your faith in us has been a decisive factor in our success.

During the first half of the year, we communicated about several significant orders that lie ahead. Now our top priority is to ensure that the deliveries of these orders are carried out smoothly. One of our most challenging tasks is to deliver 1,000 units to the Netherlands before the end of this year. The first 50 units will be used to guarantee a seamless customer experience with our innovative solution, uniquely tailored to the needs of the Dutch market. The setup is a result of our joint work with investments from both the partner, Dutch IVE Ventures, and us, where IVE Ventures invested in a comprehensive system where Dosell has a key function. Tests are currently underway and are expected to be completed shortly. When potentially needed fine adjustments in the customized system solution are in place after feedback from the tests, we will gradually deliver the remaining units according to plan.

We also see positive progress in Spain, where plans are progressing as previously communicated. During Q2, an agreement worth minimum SEK 12 million over four years was secured, including 1,800 Dosell units. The Spanish partner Ti-Medi delivers today solutions to facilitate correct medication to over 650 pharmacies in Spain and Portugal. During the autumn, we are working intensively to adapt Dosell and the customer journey for the Spanish market, which will hopefully lead to an extensive launch during the first quarter of 2024.

Also in Italy we have worked further to develop our collaborations. Our partner has been working for some time to achieve a wider acceptance of sachets in the Italian market. They are currently conducting a funding round to secure the necessary capital to accelerate sales of our pharmaceutical robots along with their innovative sachets on a larger scale.

In the UK, we are on the verge of completing our first pilot, which is a milestone for us. This marks the start of gradually increasing sales that are expected to pick up from the turn of the year. The UK is a market with huge potential, and we foresee steady growth as the market matures.

In our home region, the Nordics, our work with municipalities in Sweden and Norway has yielded results. The decision to expand the use of Dosell within these municipalities is a clear indication that our product is appreciated for its simplicity, functionality and its ability to relieve care by ensuring correct medication at the right time. I am optimistic that we will see increasing demand also here in the Nordics during the autumn, and a positive trend that is expected to grow significantly in the coming year.

Our latest acquisition, Pilloxa, has added additional value to our portfolio. Our focus now is on ensuring customer satisfaction through smooth deliveries and maximizing the potential of our new customers. Going forward, we aim to merge our concepts into a world-unique concept that can help the patient at all stages; regardless of how they manage their medication, but right now our primary focus is on ensuring that Dosell deliveries to our partners around Europe.

In summary, we are stronger and more well prepared than ever. With a stable liquidity that is expected to bring us to a cash flow positive position, together with the majority of orders received and a growing demand, we are enthusiastically looking forward to the upcoming autumn. I am convinced that, together with my amazing team, we will be able to achieve outstanding results.

Again, many thanks for your invaluable trust as a shareholder.

Significant events after the end of the quarter

iZafe signs a Letter of Intent to acquire Pilloxa AB. Pilloxa has developed a technical platform for improved adherence that pharmaceutical companies use to design digital patient support. The purchase price will be paid in 70,874,308 newly issued iZafe shares with an indicative value of approximately 30 million SEK.

COMMENTS FROM THE CEO
Our vision is to ensure health through better adherence and in the last quarter we have taken an even bigger step through our updated vision and strategy presented in May.

During the second quarter, we focused on consumer advertising, which continues to deliver good results and improved Dosell's performance. At the same time, we are seeing increased interest among municipalities in both pharmaceutical robots and the data they can bring to medication management. After the end of the quarter, we announced a letter of intent to acquire Pilloxa AB.

The acquisition of Pilloxa creates a unique position in digital health
With the acquisition of Pilloxa, we have the opportunity to create a more comprehensive offering that meets the different needs of consumers, from independent medication management to the choice of a smart connected pillbox or a fully automated medication robot.

The acquisition of Pilloxa also gives us access to additional sales channels as we complement each other very well. Pilloxa has had pharmaceutical companies as its primary customer group and has developed a unique SaaS solution as well as support for the conduct of clinical studies. Immediately after the acquisition, we will start the journey towards making Pilloxa's solution more commercially viable in our existing sales channels.

Pilloxa's employees and the expertise they bring, are an important part of the acquisition. They come in with the right kind of knowledge and the experience we need to create a company that takes the position of being the leader in the market to ensure adherence to medication and ultimately, to demonstrate the health benefits of it. We are working to optimize our organization to cut costs and prepare for a future merge.

The company is continuing discussions with investors, who are keen to see more acquisitions and organic growth in a market that is largely untapped. Following our communication regarding the acquisition of Pilloxa, interest has increased further – which is positive for future funding of the company in addition to the warrant program TO10B which, depending on the stock price, will provide a better capital contribution.

B2C – continual increased sales and the potential outside Sweden
In recent months, we have invested in television advertising to spread awareness of Dosell. As a result, we now sell around 100 units a month via the Apoteket website and the consumer version of Dosell accounts for around 90% of all dispensations today. This is a very good start for a brand-new type of product and service, but not enough and hence need to find more ways to get higher volumes out.

Our investment here in Sweden with the consumer version of Dosell has been crucial in creating the experience and knowledge needed to export the solution to other countries and markets. In all dialogues with potential partners, there has also been interest in our vision's future solutions, which we will now be able to sell and distribute much more quickly in connection with the acquisition of Pilloxa.

However, the concept in Italy continues with delays due to production and software changes. The Italian market has great potential where we see great advantages in the customer being able to have their medicines packaged in sachet bags directly by the local pharmacy together with their Dosell. In the Swedish market this is a challenge where we see long lead times to get their medicines in sachet bags if they do not already use it when they have bought their Dosell. Therefore, we see great potential in the Italian concept, which is also applicable to more markets in Europe.

B2B – interest in medication data
We see a clear trend that more municipalities are starting to demand pharmaceutical robots, with many tenders just coming out in both Sweden and Norway.

We have also noticed strong demand from welfare platforms that want to get data on medication. With the acquisition of Pilloxa, this becomes a complete solution for welfare platforms as we can provide even more data around medication adherence.

Continuous improvement
We are constantly working to improve Dosell's performance. As we communicated in the spring, we had production challenges and a software release that included improvements necessary for our partners to deploy their Dosell in the field. These elements were completed too late into the summer holidays and as a result our partners are now able to go live after the summer months.

We have an exciting and intense period ahead of us. Our many partners and customers will start up the use of Dosell, we will finalize all the elements around the acquisition and ensure to develop an attractive joint future offering.
