Interim report 1 May - 31 July 2026
New product launched: advanced bioinformatics as a cloud service
Qlucore faces a significant growth opportunity within its established customer base of world-leading pharmaceutical companies and cancer researchers. With increased access to cost-effective computing power, server-based analysis solutions for precision medicine and biomedical research are enabled. Through the strategic reseller agreement with BioTuring, Qlucore can quickly address this market opportunity. At the same time, the company's own software maintains its strong position in fast, interactive analysis and visualization based on a normal computer such as a laptop. Together, this strengthens Qlucore's offering and broadens the addressable market.

CEO’s statement
During the period, we signed an agreement with BioTuring Inc. Under this partnership, we will market, sell, and distribute BioTuring's portfolio of analytical solutions and services across Europe. These solutions complement our existing product offering and strengthen our value proposition to customers. By broadening our portfolio for the same target market, we expect to attract new customers while also increasing revenue per existing customer. BioTuring’s solutions enable detailed analysis of individual cells and how individual cells relate to other cells, further enhancing the breadth and flexibility of our offering.
Net sales during the first quarter increased to SEK 1,704k (811k), which is partly because we have gained a new industrial customer and partly because an existing industrial customer's renewal was postponed from the previous quarter.
To improve cost efficiency, we have implemented personnel cuts affecting three full-time positions during the period.
Liquidity was strengthened during the quarter through the partial payment from the EU as a result of the approved interim report in the accelerator project.
Diagnostics
Two large Nordic hospitals are now using our solution to diagnose children with leukaemia. Sales and marketing efforts are actively underway for all four tests, but we are experiencing caution from customers regarding the introduction of RNA sequencing-based measurements, which are the basis of our tests.
We are at the forefront of using genetic information to classify patients with regulatory approved products. Now we have a stable regulatory-approved platform to broaden our product portfolio. The cancers we focus on represent strategically important therapeutic areas with a high medical need for improved diagnostics.
Global landscape
The uncertain geopolitical and macroeconomic situation continues to contribute to some caution in the market and affects customers' license renewals.
