CEO’s Comments:
Our performance this quarter highlights CS MEDICA’s resilience and ability to execute our strategic initiatives effectively. The planned CANNORDIC IPO is set to provide capital to enhance our liquidity and scale operations. This quarter also saw significant strategic advancements, including a pivotal partnership with Nimbus Health, part of Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, to expand our footprint in the German market—our most mature market in Europe. Additionally, our compliance journey saw us successfully pass the second audit from our notified body as part of the MDR transition, further enabling us to convert more of our pipeline into active sales.
