OSLO, NORWAY - May 29, 2024: Today, Microbiome DX company Genetic Analysis AS ("GA" or the "Company") hereby publishes the interim report for the period January 1 - March 31, 2024. The interim report is available as an attached file to this release and on the Company's website. Below is a summary of the report.
Ronny Hermansen, CEO of Genetic Analysis, comments:
"During Q1 2024, GA has continued to onboard new laboratory customers by implementing the GA-map® assay on their instrument. A key objective for GA is technology implementation in laboratories since this generates recurring reagent kit sales and the establishment of key account customer relationships. GA has established a new important customer in the German market and preparations are ongoing to install the GA-map® assay in yet another German laboratory during May. Both customers will strengthen GA's position in this strategically important territory.
This further builds on a growing and international install base of the GA-map® assays at laboratory customers with the prospect to offer new add-on GA biomarker assays as they are launched."
Q1 2024 (01.01.2024 - 31.03.2024)- Operating income amounted to NOK 4,8 million (6,4)
- Sales amounted to NOK 3,3 million (4,1)

Total operating income ended at NOK 3,3 million in Q1 2024 (NOK 6,4 million). Net loss was NOK -5,8 million compared to NOK -7,3 million in the corresponding quarter of 2023.
Sales revenues reached NOK 3,3 million (NOK 4,1 million) in Q1 2024.
