CEO Karin Bryder summarizes the quarter
During the third quarter, we noticed regional differences when it comes to how severe societies and healthcare systems are affected by the corona pandemic. The activity in Efemia’s segment has increased again in Sweden and Norway. This together with new agreements with Apotea and Kronans Apotek (the latter also including the distributor Oriola) as well as successful campaigns contributed to solid sales figures. However, our sales in the UK and Germany have not taken off as expected as these countries are more severely affected by the return of a higher Covid-19 infection rate. However, the future still looks bright considering the agreement on cost coverage with NHS England, and that Efemia was included in the German healthcare insurance companies’ list of medical products entitled to cost coverage in October. After agreements have been signed directly with the relevant insurance companies, Efemia will be approved for cost coverage in all possible markets in Europe. The fourth quarter has started on a positive note with our successful ”Stöd i kön” (“Support in the queue”) campaign in Sweden. At the same time, the preparations for a possible launch in the United States and possibly additional markets are proceeding, and the same is true for our work to extend our product pipeline.
