Significant events in the third quarter

• Allenex, in collaboration with its local distributor in France, won a public tender offered by the French blood center organization (EFS). The estimated value of the tender for Allenex is SEK 6 million per year over a four year period (a total of SEK 24 million). As half of the laboratories covered by the tender are already clients today, the contract will entail a net effect or direct sales increase of around SEK 3 million per year (a total of SEK 12 million).

CEO Anders Karlsson’s comments on the third quarter 2012: "Allenex continues to streamline its operations towards transplantation diagnostics. In the third quarter, we received good news that we had won a public tender bid in France with our SSP typing products. This is solid proof of the high quality and cost-effectiveness of our products. During the quarter, we also received our first orders for Conexio SBT. This introduction has gone slower than anticipated, but we now expect more as well as larger centers to follow suit. We also achieved further cost reductions in the third quarter, with lower costs internally and externally.”
