Extract from comments from the CEO, Dan Pitulia
Our efforts to build a profitable business in the US market increased further during the period, and we can now show that we are on the right track.
Coala Life’s main focus is the US market, where over 120 million Americans are affected by chronic cardiovascular diseases. To qualify for Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), a patient must have an acute or chronic medical condition, which applies to almost half of the US population.
It is almost a year since we launched our venture into Managed RPM in the US as a full service under the name Qorum Partners, for remote monitoring of chronically ill patients in the home. In the middle of the previous quarter, we completed the acquisition of the US company Vitrics, which is also engaged in Managed RPM. Both these ventures began showing clear results during the quarter. The key ratios published in this report are in line with our financial target: to achieve sales of SEK 250 million by 2024 with a positive operating result and a maintained gross margin of over 80%.
