Comments from the CEO

2016 was a historical year for us at Sedana Medical since we first time ever reached a positive EBITDA of 994 TSEK. Sales developed positively reaching 32,154 TSEK, a 14% increase compared to 2015. Germany, representing 90% of our total sales, continues to grow with increasing demand from the more than 400 intensive care units, including nearly all university clinics, using the AnaConDa technology.

Strengthened by the positive development, we initiated a clinical study in Germany during the final quarter of 2016. The study will generate a registration of our pharmaceutical IsoConDa® (isoflurane) in inhalation sedation therapy in European intensive care by the end of 2019.

To secure the funding of our new business plan, including the clinical study in Europe, the initiation of a clinical study in the USA and a sales organization build-up, we initiated an investigation during autumn 2016 regarding the requisites for an IPO.

In December 2016, we finalized the development of the next generation of the AnaConDa technology – AnaConDa-S. This innovation, with its great advantages, increase the potential market by an estimated 25% and it is expected to replace the current AnaConDa completely. The commercial launch will start in the second quarter of 2017.

We ended 2016 at a high speed and we are certainly looking forward to 2017 with the clinical study and the launch of AnaConDa-S.
