Comments from Torbjörn Kronander, President and CEO of Sectra AB
– Our long-term efforts to create value for healthcare and society, and ultimately our shareholders, are continuing to deliver good results in 2024/2025. We took major steps forward in our core areas—medical IT and cybersecurity—where we deliver solutions that improve people’s quality of life and safety all over the world.

– The past fiscal year can be summarized as follows: record-breaking order bookings, a continued positive trend for secure communications and progress in the transition to selling medical diagnostic imaging as a service. We have not yet fully completed this transition. Our extensive deliveries will take many years to complete and have not yet started to generate meaningful revenue. Nor have we had the same support from currency effects as before. Nonetheless, profit for the year was good. The most important thing to note is that our customers remain satisfied. In our medical operations, we broke our previous record, winning more Best in KLAS awards than ever before. This provides external proof that we have the highest levels of customer satisfaction.

– In the short term, we expect that decreased license sales in Imaging IT Solutions will have a dampening effect on sales growth. Major customers will also go live in the coming year, which will place additional pressure on profitability before they start generating revenue. In the long term, however, the transition will be highly beneficial—for us and for our customers.

– Our success is built on the dedication and expertise of our employees. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all of our employees. Their passion and knowledge are what drives Sectra’s continued development. I would also like to thank our customers and partners for the trust they place in us, and our shareholders for their long-term support. Together we are making a difference in society.
