The fourth quarter turned out to be very weak as previously announced, but Cell Impact's sales will gradually increase in the coming quarters, albeit from a low level. During the quarter, financing for the company's ongoing development was secured, the cost reduction program announced in July 2023 was concluded and an additional cost reduction program was initiated. Our full focus is now directed toward developing both customer projects and taking further steps in Phase II, our productivity and profitability program.
The company's sales will gradually increase in the coming quarters, not least thanks to the 22 million SEK order Cell Impact received from the company's largest customer, as we announced in early October 2023. Our invoicing in January 2024 was twice as high as for the entire fourth quarter.
In addition to the cost reduction program we announced in August, another cost review was carried out during the fourth quarter 2023. These programs, once fully implemented in the spring 2024, will lead to a reduction of Cell Impact's workforce to about 50 people, more than halving the previous headcount.
During the quarter, we successfully carried out a rights issue, raising approximately SEK 129 million before issue expenses. In accordance with what was published in the prospectus, we expect that this capital injection will allow us to finance operations into 2025.
"We continue to experience significant interest in our products and confidence in Cell Impact as a participant in the green transition. This is something we've noticed not only from customers and suppliers, but also from the many investors who have chosen to be part of our journey. Without their trust, nothing would work." Said Daniel Vallin, interim CEO, Cell Impact.
