Comments from CEO
I am pleased to present a quarterly report where we can show that we have further strengthened our positions and streamlined the organization within iZafe Group.
During the last quarter, we have worked hard to integrate Pilloxa into the organization, and I am proud to announce that we have retained Helena Rönnqvist, who was previously the CEO of Pilloxa, and appointed her as the company's Chief Medical Officer and Business Unit Manager for Pilloxa. At the same time, we have ended the employment of other personnel since we have been able to include their tasks into the existing personnel in iZafe Group. Therefore, we have paid out the remaining salaries, repaid loans, and debts that were in Pilloxa. At the same time, we have managed to reduce our costs, which will be even more evident in the upcoming quarter when the entire iZafe group, including Pilloxa, has scaled down costs.
During the beginning of this year, iZafe Group has signed cooperation agreements with several partners throughout Europe. We have established ourselves as a leading innovator in digital medication solutions, and our collaborations show the strength of Dosell and Pilloxa's innovative technology and its potential to improve the medication process for both patients and healthcare professionals worldwide.
The total value of all agreements amounts to over SEK 59 million, and the revenue from these agreements will gradually grow through monthly license income. We do not yet see the results of these significant agreements signed on the revenue line. I understand that it requires patience for you shareholders; adjustments and implementations take time, and we work every day to start our new collaborations as time-efficiently as possible.
Together, we can rejoice in a bright future where we have better opportunities than ever to enable safe and secure medication for many.
The most important parts going forward are to ensure that we can keep up with the production and integration work schedules. It will be tough since we are a small organization that needs to ensure a lot, but I am working with an incredibly dedicated team and feel confident that we will manage it.
We have had a fantastic outcome in the TO13B option program where we raised a total of SEK 19.4 million before issuance costs. With this money, reduced costs, and commitments from our new cooperation partners, these liquid assets are projected to last until we become cash flow positive.
We have also gained strong shareholders in the company who support and believe in us over the long term.
We have removed the exclusive sales of Dosell via Apoteket.se and initiated discussions to sell via more channels. Dosell as a consumer product is initially sold via Dosell's own website before gradually being sold through more players.
I am convinced that with strong growth in the global pharmaceutical market and an increased demand for digital medication solutions, iZafe Group is well positioned to continue its international expansion and revolutionize the pharmaceutical industry on a global level. We look forward to continuing to deliver positive results to our shareholders and partners.
Thank you for your continued trust.
