Carasent Q1 2025, Summary

Carasent Reports Improving Profitability in Q1 2025 While Investing in AI

Carasent reported continued improvement in its financial performance for the first quarter of 2025, with a notable shift from negative to positive EBITDA margins. The company is balancing growth initiatives with profitability while making strategic investments in AI technology.

Financial Highlights

  • Net sales amounted to SEK 85.2 million (66.1), representing a net sales growth of 29%.

  • Organic growth was 15%, while net acquisitions and divestments in the last twelve months accounted for SEK 9.7 million or 51% of growth.

  • Recurring revenue amounted to SEK 77.2 million (60.9), with organic recurring revenue growth of 14%.

  • EBITDA amounted to SEK 13.9 (6.3) million, representing an EBITDA margin of 16% (9%).

  • Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16% (12%).

  • Adjusted EBITDAC margin was 6% (-8%).

  • Operating profit, EBIT, amounted to SEK -1.8 (-14.3) million.

  • Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 4.6 (12.8) million.

  • Net income amounted to SEK -3.0 million (-10.4).

  • Earnings per share, before and after dilution, amounted to SEK -0.04 (-0.14).

Strategic Focus on AI

CEO Daniel Öhman highlighted Carasent's approach to AI, focusing on administrative support rather than clinical decision support. The company has launched "ambient listening" functionality that automatically generates medical records during patient meetings. This solution is already integrated into their Webdoc SC, Pilots, and Webdoc Germany systems.

Öhman emphasized that Carasent doesn't need to be a "first mover" in AI but can leverage their strong position as a dominant EHR provider to create tightly integrated solutions. The company is taking a balanced approach by both offering their own AI solutions and partnering with specialized providers like Nuance (owned by Microsoft) and Dennis Tandem.

Growth Strategy and Capital Allocation

Carasent outlined a three-pronged growth strategy:

  1. Growing new sales, particularly to startup clinics

  2. Expanding relationships with existing customers

  3. Pursuing selective acquisitions

Rather than becoming a "serial acquirer," management emphasized a targeted approach to acquisitions, focusing on companies that would create clear value. With 253 million SEK cash on hand and improving cash flow, Carasent plans to implement share buybacks, with specifics to be announced after their AGM.

German Expansion and Product Development

The company continues its expansion in Germany, with Webdoc X developing well and initial pilots underway. Management expects to replace the older Data-Cur product with Webdoc X for approximately 80 customers by the end of 2025, with plans to expand to doctors in 2026.

Other development projects showing strong progress include:

  • Surgery module for Sweden

  • E-prescription implementation (NLL in Sweden)

  • Meturk implementation in Norway

  • Patient platforms for Norway

Outlook

Carasent maintained its financial targets for the year, focusing on:

  • Continued revenue growth

  • Margin improvement

  • Efficient resource utilization

  • Cost control

  • Timely implementation of projects

CFO Sven Martin Bjørnstad noted that the company aims to convert approximately 80% of revenue increases into EBITDA, highlighting the importance of cost control initiatives to achieve this target.

The company's near-term growth potential appears strong, with three high-potential projects currently in pilot stage (Surgery Bolvat, MedSam ambient listening, and Webdoc X in Germany).

Good morning and welcome to our presentation of the first quarter of 2025. My name is Daniel Erman and I will start to present and then I will hand over to Sir Martin Bjornstead, our CFO to take the rest of the presentation. So looking at the first quarter we continued to improve rapidly. We have our EBITDA margin going from minus 8% to plus 6% and that's our most important financial metrics internally. And performance is in line with our plan. Overall, we have slightly higher costs in a quarter than we planned for. And that's. It's not a lot we're talking about. We're talking about 1 to 2 million more cost than we would have liked to have. So it's not. Not a big deviation. And this deviation is due to partly that we have chosen to invest more into AI and then we're talking AI in our products. AI in our development we've been working with for a long time. We've been able to offset most of the costs of development in AI by getting rid of other costs, but some of it has increased our total costs. We also had to do some write down of the receivables from the companies that went bankrupt as we spoke about in the last quarter quarter. We also have had discussions in the board about capital allocation and I will get back to that later on in the presentation. I feel that we have good progress in our large development projects. That's surgery for Sweden eprescription. There's a new regulation around e prescription called NLL in Sweden which means that in all HR systems you will be able to see all prescriptions from all other systems and you will also be able to change those prescriptions. So it would be a really good thing for our customers that even if you're not in one of the regional systems, you will still be able to see everything around medication and that way around. Also Volvo is proceeding according to plan the implementation of Meturk in Norway. We're also building our patient platforms for Norway. That's going well. And webdoc X continue to develop for the German market with a lot of new functionality. So in total I think that we see really good progress in our development projects. Nowadays the bank resists for some Weldo customers. The one we spoke about in the last quarter, there are no major new ones. Put a bit higher pressure on sales. Now we are selling better and better. Every quarter we get a bit better at selling. So I feel that's really good and we can follow that and we're learning we do new things in marketing, we see that we can do different things and that our reputation is getting stronger and stronger, which makes it easier to sell. So that's really positive and we need that because of those bankruptcies. Sign of invented error is now at 12 million. So that's slightly down. And that's because we have implemented med rate for vdr. So that's why that's. And we have not signed any new major contracts and we have 14 organic recurring revenue growth and 26% contract area growth. So as we have started talking a bit about AI in our products, I just want to take the opportunity to talk a little bit about what we're doing and how we're thinking about it. So just briefly, there are basically two types of AI support in our products that we could do. One is clinical decision support. So that's when we help doctors, nurses and physiotherapists to take decisions on what to do with the patients. So that could be automatic triage where AI decides on the severity of the patient's problem and automatically guides them to the right care level. This type of decision support we never aim to build ourselves. That's because this type of AI solutions or solutions in general, it doesn't have to be AI puts you in a very difficult legal framework called medical Device Directory mdr and you basically become a research company and you have to prove in large studies that you always do the same thing and that your advices the right ones and so on. So that will never be our aim to build those type of solutions, either with or without AI. It's also not a big topic for our customers. We sell mostly to the private sector. The private sector has a bit easier patience, that's what they're there for. So the clinical decisions is not what takes a lot of time for our customers. The other type of support is administrative support. This is what our customers really hate and what it's a lot of their time all they report into different places. For example, we already do a lot with it. So one being our systems are really user friendly, ease of use, good workflows. We also have a lot of automatic reporting connections and so on between systems. Using our products, you have to do much less administration than in many other systems systems, but still there are things we can do and what we invest in at the moment is what's called ambient listening. So that means that the AI is listening into the patient meeting and then automatically proposes a medical record for you. We've been playing around for it for quite some time, I think like two years We've been playing, staying with it and now we felt that actually last quarter we felt that now it's time to start really putting it into our products. We don't really feel that we have to be the first mover or the opposite actually we want to see that first that the use cases are there, that customers really appreciate new technologies, new solutions and having this strong EHR position where we are the dominant provider of a system to our customers and a difficulty change system we are in. We don't have to be the fast mover. It's easy to just replace whatever they're using or quite this at least. And our advantage in this type of scenarios is that we can build it directly into the system so we get really tight integrations and we have access to all types of data around the patients and visits and whatever it is within the clinic. So that means that we can build support that uses all that knowledge. And that's why I think that sometimes it's the right that we do it, but not always. And that's what I want to show you on this next picture. So different situations and different customers have different needs and we will not try to solve all by ourselves. And this is some examples when we talk about ambient listening, what we're selling now or start selling now. There are really big international companies like Nuance, that's owned by Microsoft that have, I mean really large resources, large training data. But what they lack is knowledge about how a no HR or medical note is supposed to be written in Sweden, how we set diagnosis and so on. So they are good at certain things but less good at other things. We sell their products today and they're really good at for example speech to text where the doctor phys therapist just talk and it writes exactly what the doctor, nurse or phys therapist say. Their ambient listening is not as well suited for circumstances at this point in time. There are also specialized products. Another example is Dennis Tandem which we also many of our customers appreciate that solution. It's built for our type of customers. They're niched, they can really focus on this and they can really invest in it in another way that we do and take higher risks than we would do with this type of solutions. They would be the right for certain types of customers. For example, they built an app so that you can take the listening with you when you leave your outpatient office. So if you're first therapist and you go out to the training floor, you can take that with you and record entire meeting. It might not make sense for us to build such an app, for example, because it's maybe 10% of our use cases for our customers and then we can have our own integrated. And the advantage we have is that we can build really seamless workflows as we do with other things. So it's always right patient, you start it all within the same system, you don't have to switch windows, you don't have to go into other things, you don't have to copy things. We also built for our type of customers and we have access to all the data that could be needed to write a really good metric record. But I think all three of them probably have their place. And it's also difficult to foresee exactly where technology will take us and what will happen. So we do not put everything on one horse or whatever to call it. So we're doing all these three things. But we think that for many customers our solutions are probably the best choice and we aim to make sure that it is just a little bit how we're thinking about AI in our products. And over time we see that we will add more and more administrative support in our systems. That's why it's important to start releasing those type of features in our systems. Also worth mentioning is that the thing we're releasing now is for all our systems. So it's already included in Webdoc SC in Pilots and also in Webdoc for Germany. It will soon be in our Nvidia systems and it's all using the same backend, but it's been trained on different languages. So slightly different backend but in the same organization that builds it. Moving on, we talked about how we use our capital and looking at how we grow new sales is of course very important. What's worth noting is that of most new sales are to startups. So clinics that start new and then we grow with them. So new sales are extremely important. More important looks like in the numbers because it's with those new startups that we then grow the coming years. So new sales is very important even if they often are small. With surgery we aim to also move over larger clinics and to increase that part of new sales. We grow with existing customers as mentioned, that's both since they are growing, but also since we add more and more value into our systems and different add ons we can sell and then we have acquisitions and what's really worth and important to note here is that we do not aim to start making acquisitions and looking at different types of structured process that come out from advisors and so on. We have A few companies that we know will add a lot of value to our organization that we would over time like to acquire. So what this means is that we would go and knock on the door and say hi, we think that we could add value to create more value together and then have a discussion. So that's very different from the acquisitions of old in this company. But it's the same study we had in Germany where we looked at all different providers and we knocked on a few doors and said, hey, we think that together we would be a good fit. And that's how I done acquisitions before also. I think that's where you really can create a lot of value that you have chosen this and this and this company product fits really, really well with our company. So. So we're not aiming at becoming a serial acquirer. So but we see that there are some opportunities to create real value and good value, strength and positions. So that's what we're talking about. It will not be many acquisitions and not in a rapid pace. And what that means for our capital location, that is that we see that we want to do some acquisitions, but they are very targeted and, and we know exactly who those are and we have no hurry to do those. But that means that we want to keep some cash on hand for that. And we also have, we have on on hand already 253 million sick and we have a rapidly increasing cash flow. So that means that we will do recurring share buybacks. The exact size of those will depend on the discussions we have with those M and A toys I spoke about earlier. So the board will decide on how much to buy back when I think it's the right time to do it. So I hope that we, quite soon after adm, we will come back with you all on that and what size it is at this year. But I cannot give you that answer today. But we see that share buybacks is a good way of distributing cash to our share owners. And then we will be looking at a few very selective M and A opportunities. And looking ahead, it continues to have a big focus on growth. Of course we have pilots in three very high potential projects ongoing at the moment. So we have Surgery Bolvat, where the first pilots are live now, and also MedSam, that's our ambient listening solution. We also have pilots live, so three very high potential projects that will be really fun to follow. We continue to focus on efficient use of resources every day, every month, every quarter, becoming more and more efficient in all parts of what we do. And I think that's extremely important. That's how we'll be able to scale in a really good way. And cost control is vital. And finally launching webdoc X in Germany and we also have our largest high potential project so the fourth one with first German pilots live as you know and we aim to replace Data cure there older product in data during 2025. So with those words I will hand over to Svet Martin. Thank you. Starting off by looking at high level metrics, we improved a lot also in Q1 our ARR grew 26% to 321 million including the including the backlog and our recurring organic recurring growth was more or less in line with previous quarters. Net resistance rate as well at 110%. And then margins also improved. We did expect the margins to improve a couple of percentage points more but we had this additional cost that that was mentioned. But overall quarter in line with our with our plan. If we take a closer look at the P and L, you see strong improvements year over year. Revenue growth was 29% and we have highlighted some points here when where webdoc grew at 15. So there you see that it's slightly lower than what we posted last year. And this is because these bankruptcies or churn took full effect from the end of Q1. So going into Q2 as well the pace will be affected by this churn. On the other hand we did have a very strong quarter on the sales side in webdoc in Q1. So we expect them to be back on track quite quite fast. Overall growth as mentioned 29% driven by the acquisition of data and strong organic growth. And you see also consulting revenues was very high. This was due to these big implementation projects being at full speed and also sort of weak comparables. Last year it was quite slow on consulting. Third point 10 million EBITDA improvement or 14 percentage point increase in margins. Worth noting as well is that in the first quarter we were close to being neutral on EBITDA for our German operations. And this was because of a very strong quarter on profitability side for data which had good consulting revenues, which helps of course and also that we have gone through the cost base after acquisition and removed particularly on the OPEX and COG side, removed unnecessary costs and also negotiated with suppliers. So the underlying profitability now is better than before the acquisition. If we look into the growth ARR growth it was as mentioned more or less in line with previous quarters in the reported figures. But there are some effects that pull in opposite directions. So as Daniel mentioned we implemented the VGR Contract for Medrave and also implemented some clinics for in Norway which also contributed to the growth that increased, that would have increased the growth a couple of percentage points. But then the webdoc churn for the bankruptcies took full effect from in these figures so that pulled in the other direction. So overall it was quite stable. If we look at the profitability it's improving rapidly. We have gone from minus 30% margin two years ago to plus 6 now. We are of course still far away from our potential. And the key, given that we have a strong backlog of revenue to implement and a good good underlying growth momentum, the key will be to convert as much as possible of those revenues into profits. And we look, if you look at this slide it shows how we are doing with this over the last year. So the left hand bar it shows the revenue growth, the revenue increase excluding Confrer which was sold and data which was acquired over last year. So the organic business and then we had the cogs increase naturally Opex was quite flat and then the personnel expense increased 2.6 million. But we did have last year we had some one offs related to layoffs of 1.7 so if we remove those from the comparison figures it increased 4.3 and then capex decreased by a similar amount. So in total we were able to convert 90% of the revenue increase into EBITDA and if we adjust for the non recurring last year it was 73%. So we have set an internal target to convert around 80%. And yeah we did have this extra cost this quarter. Next quarter we will have around a million in extra cost for the new incentive program. So it will be key that we succeed on these cost initiatives that we are taking. And over the last year we have removed roles that were not necessary and also replaced consultants for employees which typically generates a good saving. So that is why we are able to keep these costs quite flat even though of course we have wage increases etc. And add roles in other areas. Finally the the cash flow we had as mentioned, good improvements in profitability and lower investments but we had the working capital headwinds. So I mentioned this in the last report that we had a lot of outstanding invoices for the relisting at the year end and these were paid in Q1. This was an effect of around 1213 million. So if you look at the figures it would have been quite strong if we hadn't had this effect on the cash flow. So overall financially we developed despite some smaller items on the cost side. We develop it according to Plan and in line with our financial targets for the year, which we maintain. The key to reach those will be to roll out the implementation projects in time and also of course, keep a cost control. So with that we can open up for Q and A. If you wish to ask a question, please dial pound key five on your telephone keypad to enter the queue. If you wish to withdraw your question, please dial pound key six on your telephone keypad. The next question comes from Frederik Nielsen from Red Eye. Please go ahead. Thank you. Good morning, Daniel and Sven Martin, I want to start with the new AI functionality. Could you perhaps elaborate a bit on what share of customers do you believe will be interested in your solution relative to third party solution? And also if you could say something about the pricing. Yeah, sure. Thanks Eric. Good morning. So I believe that over time we will be able to sell to a really large portion of our customers these type of solutions. It has the potential to, I mean what doctors do when they have an outpatient, they office therapists or nurses for that matter, is that they meet the patients, but then they have a lot of documentation to do afterwards. And if the more we can automate that for them, they can really help more patients. So it's really a big potential in time saving for the user. Of course, none of the AI solutions today deliver 100% of their time saving, but they're doing a really good job. And therefore over time I think that we will see a really large part of our customers using these type of solutions. I think that also our solution will have clear advantages by being completely connected into the system and just being a part of it. It's a natural part of the HR system. It's not the system on the side, but you have to pay to get access to it and then it opens up and then you have access to it in the system or in our systems, so to speak. So I think the potential is really strong then. Healthcare is always slow to take on new technology, so I think it will take some time before it grows really big. But the reason why we have chosen to kind of over invest compared to plan is that I believe that the potential is really strong and the pricing from our side would be very competitive. So we build our solution based on open source products. So that means that our cost would be quite low and then we are hosting it with our own hosts, so to speak, just like we do with our other systems. So that means that we can scale costs in a very good way compared, compared if we would use ChatGPT, similar solutions and we can also make sure that there are no access from from the US to our solutions which cannot do if not 100% if you're an Azure cloud. So I think that we have some clear advantages and the pricing will also be lower than competition. In general these type of solutions today that are sold are a bit. Are more expensive than what the HR systems licenses per month. So it's. Yeah we will be a bit price it a bit lower than what the HR license is. But just in webdoc I think we have 18,000 users. Our estimate is that more than half of those generate medical nodes. So the potential is really strong and I mean over time that could really be an area for growth. So that's why we've taken this choice to over invest a bit. But most of the cost we've been able to offset by. I mean just had. Have had to out complete other projects and we've removed some roles we maybe haven't hadn't before planned to remove. So I think that's been a priority for us and that wants to. Yeah, there are really big potential in this types of solutions. I think over time we will see more and more built in AI support just like we have over time built more and more integrations that automate other type in other ways automate reporting for our customers. And given that types of customers we sell to we can be very quick at implemented this type of solutions. If you're selling to the public system it's completely different because they have to go through their tenant process and they have to go through all the committees and we can be a couple of years before. Before that easily. So I think it's also an advantage when comparing different systems. So that was share of use as you said. So I think that over time we will be able to sell to most and I think that our solution is likely to become the most popular around our users. But it's hard to tell exactly where these type of technologies go. So I think it's important not to put all eggs in the same basket and we're selling our own and we're selling the other solutions too so that's. I think it's fine but of course for our money so much better when we sell our own solutions. Did that answer your question? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. That was good answer I think so I want to. I have some questions about the opportunity for webdoc outside of the three largest regions in Sweden. What is the time like relative to the three large regions and what can you do to potentially open up additional regions? What's the time timeline that market at the time. Okay, sorry. I mean look at it at a long term timeline. Yeah, so. So private healthcare is by far the largest in the three largest regions and by far it's Stockholm that's the largest. So. So Stockholm is really the big market. So the most important market. Then there are private caregivers around the country. We have customers in all regions. So where we really are locked out kind of in many regions or is primary care, you have a few primary caregivers like two, three in a region. Then it's really no. Or maybe 10. I mean that's, that's very few, not much revenue. But in total all those regions that adds up to something. It's not. We're working a bit on it to open it up. So we have projects in or a project in one region where they've now rolled out Cambio and the private caregivers are really not happy and we have discussion where Cambus positive and we'll see if the region is positive. But we might be able to do something. But I think it, it will not generate a lot of revenue. But I think the point of that project is just to prove, prove it and to show whether it works well. I think that over time we will have the new regulation eho ds ehds I should probably say which says that all systems have to be able to and have to actually exchange information with each other. So I think that for us is an excellent opportunity. Then all those arguments go away because all systems have to be able to talk with each other and that's by 20. I think it should be implemented in most areas by 2030. So. And there's a lot of work going on with that. We're sitting in those committees working on those proposals together with other HR providers. So that will also open up a lot of markets. But at the moment we're fully focused on taking those. I mean there are so many caregivers to sell to and we can grow so much within existing potential markets that we don't need to focus really on the other markets. But I mean potentially in vgr if they go for one of the proposals that's been proposed there is that they will have a floor of different systems. Then potentially we could sell to the public primary care centers. That's never been a focus on us for us and it's not including our town numbers but if that would be the case that would open up. But it's not really. We don't need to fight to get those type of new situations where there are so many customers we can sell to already. Okay, I see. That makes sense. Thank you. And lastly, just a clarification regarding the churn. As you mentioned in the last quarter, you will see an uptick in churn in the beginning of this year. Is all of that taken in Q1 or should we expect a further increase in Q2? So that was the full effect of that was in the March figure. So in our ARR it's taken. Great, that's clear. Thank you very much. That's all for me, thank you. The next question comes from Elvin Rolder from Carnegie Investment Bank. Please go ahead. Good morning Daniel and St. Martin. I hope you can hear me. Congratulations on a good report. Solid growth. I have a couple of questions. More nitty gritty nature if I may. You mentioned that the OPEX increased partly due to the increased investments into AI, but also that there were some, some write down of receivables for for these customers that had gone bankrupt. Would it be possible to split or you said that the AI investments was 1, 2 million. How much were the write downs of receivables? So we get a feeling for the size there. So in total the extra cost were 1 to 2 million. So, so nothing dramatic but slightly higher than we expected. And then the write off of receivable was the majority of that. Okay, and if we think on the AI cost or the AI cost, you said that you were able to offset most of it here in Q1. How should one think about that for the rest of the year? I mean how much would that drive an increase in OPECs if you look at compared year over year? Or will you be able to offset it still? Or how should one think about that for the rest of the year? Yeah, no, we should be able to continue to offset most of it. What possibly could happen, because I think you need to be a bit flexible on these kind of things is that if we see that now we're running pilots, when we start selling, if you see that it really starts selling well, I think we might invest more in it. But we have chosen to invest more in it and go a little bit beyond our budget just because we see that there's so great potential in it over time. And then we have kind of made it a little bit more difficult for us to live up to the choice for this year. We still think we can do it, but made it a bit more difficult for us to deliver short term. But for the long term we really feel strong that that will create more value. So this choice we have taken. We try to offset most of it and we continue to have that offset. It's just purchase station between different roles and different projects. But we have chosen not to offset it completely because we believe strongly in many of the we had planned to run. And then this started to really show some great potential. And I think it's also important that I think this will be one of the technologies that will be used in our products. And then I think it's very important that we also start learning how to commercialize those type of technologies. But most of it will be offset and it will not be a major factor. Okay, great. And a bit related to the AI investments then. Is there any like hardware adaptations or, or anything you need to do on that front? I know that some of these, like AI assistants and so on, use a specific hardware that is, you know, adapted to that assistant or something. You can build that there is it just plug and play. You need just ordinary mic. It's a bit of a weird question, but. No, no, but you need to do. Yeah, that's some good. Yeah, there's some good points made there. So we're not running our own data centers. I think that's important. We do set them up ourselves. It's private clouds. So I think that's important for our customers and the type of data we handle. And we're the one configuring all of it. But it's not our hardware. And with the AI, we use much more hardware than we do for our normal solutions. So that means that cogs for these types of solutions is higher than what we used to. So they will be around 25 to 30% somewhere around there, I think it's difficult to foresee. Exactly. We're playing around with smaller LLM models also. And if you train and they can be really good, then you can get those costs quite down quite a lot. But at the moment our focus is not to get them down the most. It's to have really good quality in the outcomes. And then after that we can try to go to smaller models and in that way to have a better margin. But first we want to win customers. So I think we'll. We will not buy any hardware, but we will have COGS of 25 to 30% on those products to start with at least. And that's just all data. Yeah. Okay. Okay, cool. And then a bit on Germany, I guess. Can you comment a little bit on the initial feedback you have have gotten there with. With webdoc X And how should one. I mean, how should One think and when you're ready to like fully, fully sell the first version of Web Docx for like actual use and so on. How's the timeline there? Yeah, so the first pilots are seems happy, but those pilots, when we talk about the AI project that's called Mensum and also when we talk about surgery, those are full scale pilots. So they're using the systems every day, all the time and in all circumstances webdoc8s do not have the full functionality to be used and completely replace your existing systems. So that's a big difference from other types of the other pilots we have where they completely, you know, chosen away other types of solutions and they use it full time, all the time, every day. So these are users testing functionality for us, but then they also have to use the normal system. So we, and that's because we still have for example a building you cannot do yet in our system in Germany. So we really, we know exactly what to build. The data organization is really good at making sure that we build exactly what the customers need and there is a clear roadmap. And during this year our aim is to replace then all of the users that use Data Cure today with our new product. And that means that by the end of the year we should have around 80 paying customers I think in Webdock with Germany. And that's, I mean that's quite okay. It's done in physiotherapy, so they pay a little bit less than doctors. And in general clinics in Germany is a little bit smaller than in Sweden. So if you look at Webdoc Sweden, we have 800 customers a bit more. But there the mid, their average size is much bigger than those German first aid clinics. But from there on we can continue of course. And then we're moving to doctors the year after. So that's the timeline we're working towards and aiming for. Okay, perfect. I think that was all from my end. I'll get back in line so see if there's other questions. Thank you so much guys. Have a good day. Thanks. Thank you. There are no more questions at this time, so I hand the conference back to the speakers for any written questions. Okay, we have gotten quite a few questions in the chat here. First one's from Jesper. Are you able to charge extra for the AI transcription feature that you're launching? Yeah, yeah, for sure. So the cost for that would be roughly 70, 80% of the license cost somewhere around there. Next one. You mentioned strong new sales in Webdoc. What has improved from before is it Sales efforts or improved product? I think it's very different to break difficult to break those two things apart. The product is improving. I think it will re and and it will be improving more and more all the time because we get quicker and quicker in our development, so that really helps. But I think also it's within sales and marketing. We we learning and and improving all the time. I think I mentioned this course before that add on sales were something we were not that good at and it took a bit longer than we had hoped for to get started. But after the summer last year we really started to get moving on that and it has continued to improve and for all months so far this year we're selling both new customers and add ons at a higher pace than planned. And the plan was a bit up from last autumn. So. And in our plans we have increasing sales all the time, so we get better and better and better at it. So that's a little bit of the everyday improvement I've been talking about. Okay, next questions from Rasmus Persson. First one, can you give us more information on the operations module? How many trials do you have and have you closed any deals yet? Any large customer discussion and what do you expect from it by the end of the year? Yes, so we have one pilot using the Seri module fully and they are really pleased with functionality. They are just all happy. And as I remember the contract, they will stop it, start paying in half a year or now, I guess four months or something like this. We're getting this second pilot up and running and a day now and it could be already up and running, I'm not really sure. And they will also be paying customers after a couple of months. We have a third one going online quite soon also who will be paying customers. But all of these are existing web customers that been lacking this functionality. So for sure it adds some revenues for us, so that's good. But the real aim of this model is to add new customers, the large new. And we are in those discussions. It takes time to convince. If you have a small hospital of a couple of hundred or 100 users, they are not the quickest to change and they want to see that everything is top notch in all parts of it before they change systems. And I can understand them as previous customers. You've been promised a lot from software companies and then they don't really deliver what they've said on time. So they want to see everything in place, all parts before committing. I can understand that. So I think that month after month we should really have good development within new customers and it will help us add new customer sales. But it will not be like going from 1 to 200 in a couple of months. It will be customer by customer. But we have a new good tool to take on large customers. We have a big advantage to the competitor. So I think that step by step you will see sales increasing and partly thanks to the surgeon module. Great. Next one if you can give an update on your customers actions against VGR and Millennium. Yeah, so was judged against our customers. We believe that it was very faulty judgment. Of course we think but it's also. I think that anyone would think so because they the the reason they used saying that it was not proven that it was much less work or less. What's the right word? They said it was not proven that it would be much easier for our customers to live with their existing system than changing to Millennium. And that was not something that Vidyard tried to say. It wasn't the case. So it was not part of what was actually discussed. So they just ruled on something that was not discussed and not part of what shouldn't be part of the ruling. It should only be things that they the parties are not agreeing on that should be ruled on. So typically in these cases when you are in this type, of course it's only around 12 to 14% of the ones when you try to withdraw as a market appeal. Appeal. Thanks. When you try to appeal that actually get to go to an appeal. So it's not like normal courts. We believe that our customers have a good case of getting their appeal through. They have appealed and we think they should be able to get the ruling in an appeal court. But it's not given that since normally only 40% of all appeals go to the next level. That being said, I think that Millennium is a bit difficult to see how Millennium could go forward in its present form. And we have good discussions with primary care centers in the jar about switching to Webdoc now. So we'll see. But fingers crossed and we will have some new primary care customers in the yard within not too long. Great. Next one is on quantification of the receivable loss. I think we addressed that and then a question for me. 80% revenue to profit is that target for 25 or long term? So that is an internal goal that we have set and it's basically reflective of that we have. We are at a level on the margin side that we think, as I said, we are far from our potential margins. So we think we can be able to grow for quite some time without increasing the cost base significantly. So that's sort of the internal target then from Jesper that's also on the VGR appeal so I think we can skip that. And then the final question we have gotten is also related to this 80% incremental EBITA implying that basically all additional gross profit translates into EBITA. Is that correctly understood? Our gross profit is around 85% so it basically allows us to add some roles where we see the need but yeah not a lot of wiggle room there and I think that's important as well. If we should deliver on the plan we have to increase margins rapidly. Yeah and also to mention last part we have large capacity when it comes to development and we become more efficient in all roles so I think that's what it builds on. That were all the questions we had for today so thank you all for listening in and just you know reach out if you have any further questions. Thanks for this morning. Thank you.
