TICKER: STENO
STENOCARE A/S (“STENOCARE”) today announces its results for the period 01.01.2023 – 31.03.2023. The report, which has not been reviewed by the Company’s auditors, is attached to this release and is also available on https://stenocare.com/investor-relations/
Thomas Skovlund Schnegelsberg, CEO of STENOCARE, comments:
”Stenocare had a busy start of 2023. Progress was made on several fronts despite a relatively uneventful news-flow and modest sales of 0,8mDKK in Q1-2023.
Stenocare’s brand and market footprint is growing, but despite being seen as an emerging market leader, we are still in the early phase of our scale-up. In a market like ours - that is emerging ‘in front of us’ - we have to accept and expect that our development is not linear, when it comes to sales. It is a pharma market – not a consumer market. In essence, our business is about so much more than simply driving monthly sales in existing markets and infrastructures. We are a small, highly dedicated team, pursuing a large and growing number of strategic development tracks, to further develop our position as emerging, European market leader”
