make it easier to analyse the underlying business as these investments do not
yet
bring revenues. The investments amounted to 1.2 MSEK in Q1, 1.6 MSEK in Q2 , 2,1
MSEK in Q3 and 2,3 MSEK in Q4 2024.

Progress in Data Quality and growing interest

During the last quarter of 2024, we made continued progress in our Data Quality
venture, with increasing industry interest confirming its transformative
potential. At the same time, we are advancing discussions with key customers on
strategic partnerships within Image Quality. These efforts set the stage for
continued success in both our Image Quality and Data Quality businesses as we
move into the coming year.

In the fourth quarter of the year, revenue increased compared to the same period
last year, reaching 34.1 MSEK (33.2) - a growth of 2.8%, or 0.9 MSEK. The
increase was largely driven by a sales push from a customer in Asia towards the
end of the quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter came in at 11.4 MSEK (6.4) with an adjusted
EBITDA-margin of 33.4% (19.2) when adjusted for investments in Point-of-Care
Ultrasound (POCUS) totaling 2.3 MSEK (6.7% of revenue). The increase in
profitability is primarily attributed to a positive FX impact of 2.8 MSEK
compared to the same quarter last year as well as an update in capitalization
policy that affected Q4 2023. Looking ahead, we anticipate our cost base to
remain higher than in previous years, though lower than this quarter, as
administrative costs related to the share buy-back program and setting up an
incentive plan framework are non-recurring. As we also relocated our
headquarters this quarter, there were some non-recurring costs related to the
office move, but the relocation will however lower our costs going forward.

For the full year we reached revenue of 130.7 MSEK (132.2), slightly below
previous year, with an adjusted EBITDA of 45.8 MSEK (50,0). In December we
executed a share buy-back offer totaling 1,2 million shares at a price of 6.5
NOK per share underlining our good cash position. We are hopeful 2025 will
generate growth as we are cautiously optimistic about better market conditions.

A key highlight of Q4 was our participation at RSNA in Chicago, where we
launched updates for Rivent Mobile and Smart Noise Reduction for Altumira. The
conference clearly demonstrated the industry's growing emphasis on quantitative
imaging and AI-driven solutions, validating our strategic investments in these
areas. Customer engagements at RSNA reached new highs, reflecting strong market
interest in our innovations - not only in in our venture into Data Quality, but
also in faster image processing.

Throughout the quarter, we have engaged in advanced discussions with key
customers, including tier 1 OEMs, on strategic partnerships and collaborations.
We anticipate these partnerships will translate into future revenues. In
addition, we are working closely with customers to expand our professional
service offering, positioning ourselves as a more integral part of their entire
image processing chain. This initiative is expected to strengthen customer
relationships and increase our share of wallet.

Regarding our venture into Data Quality, also referred to as POCUS, we are
making steady progress. We are currently conducting tests, measurements and
experiments, further validating our approach. After the quarter, we reached a
significant milestone, signing a partnership with the University of Washington
to enter clinical research aiming to develop AI-based solutions that can
interpret organ-specific data. The project goal is to develop digital biomarkers
that assist in early disease detection and monitoring of Metabolic Dysfunction
-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MALSLD). This partnership represents the
next step in our commitment to leveraging technology for clinical advancements
and shaping a new product line within Data Quality, with the potential for
future expansion to additional diseases and organs. It positions to deliver
diagnostic quality beyond visualization and quantification for medical imaging
making imaging less user dependent, reinforcing our leadership in this evolving
field.

Overall, 2024 has been a year of strategic progress and execution, and I am
confident in our trajectory. I want to extend my gratitude to our team,
customers, partners and other stakeholders for their continued trust and
collaboration.

Looking ahead, we remain committed to driving innovation and sustainable growth.
I look forward to communicating more updates on our journey and seeing what we
can achieve together in 2025.
