RaySearch Laboratories AB (publ) publishes preliminary figures for the first quarter of 2023. Preliminary net sales increase by 10 percent to SEK 230 (208) million, preliminary EBIT amounts to SEK 24 (30) million and order intake amounts to SEK 207 (273) million. RaySearch’s report for the first quarter will be published on May 17.
The preliminary figures mean that as of March 31, 2023, RaySearch does not meet a solidity- and an EBITDA-based covenant related to the company's credit facility with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (publ).

RaySearch will apply for a so-called waiver for this breach of covenants, but until such a waiver is obtained, the said credit facility is not available for drawdown.

Johan Löf, founder and CEO, RaySearch: "It is gratifying that we start the year with growth in net sales and an improvement in profitability compared to the full year 2022. It is regrettable that we are not meeting our covenants, but the company has a stable financial situation with liquid funds at a reassuring level.”
