Strong cash flow and significant actions to improve profitability within Medtech
"Demand is healthy in the markets and segments where AddLife's companies operate. We can now summarize 2023 as a year with historically strong organic growth of 10%. In the fourth quarter, cash flow improved significantly and net debt decreased by approximately SEK 400 m. Labtech's profitability was high and in Medtech, profitability was generally good, but weighed down by AddVision and Homecare, where we are now implementing significant actions to improve profitability."
Fredrik Dalborg, President and CEO
