Significant events during the half-year period

-          Nightingale Health updated its strategy and will focus on B2B and B2G markets. The company sees these areas as the best opportunities to leverage its competitive advantages and create value for customers. As part of the updated strategy, Nightingale Health discontinued businesses where it had a direct relationship with consumers.

-          Nightingale Health expanded its partnership with Finland's largest health service company, Terveystalo, to cover Terveystalo's occupational health services. The agreement signed in August 2023 incorporates Nightingale Health's blood analysis technology into regular health checks performed as part of Terveystalo's occupational health services. Terveystalo begun using Nightingale Health's blood analysis technology as part of its occupational health services throughout Finland on 2 January 2024.

-          Nightingale Health entered into a collaboration agreement with Innoquest Diagnostics, a leading clinical diagnostics service provider in Singapore. Innoquest Diagnostics is a subsidiary of Pathology Asia, and it will offer Nightingale's blood analysis service to healthcare providers in Singapore. In addition, the blood analysis service can be offered in the Southeast Asia region by other companies within the Pathology Asia group.

-          Nightingale Health entered into an agreement to provide blood analysis service for a large U.S. healthcare system, Mass General Brigham. The agreement will make critical biomarker data available to Mass General Brigham's researchers as they work to bring scientific findings to the healthcare setting to improve patient outcomes.

-          Nightingale Health completed the analysis of blood samples from all 500,000 UK Biobank participants, creating the world's largest blood biomarker database for chronic disease research and prevention. The data is globally accessible to approved researchers undertaking health-related research that is in the public interest. The wide scientific use of Nightingale Health's biomarkers has already enabled the company's technology to be routinely adopted in clinical settings (Terveystalo in Finland), marking a leap forward in chronic disease treatment and prevention.

-          Nightingale Health rolled out a remote blood collection kit (VelvetTM) also for its medical research and clinical trial customers. The groundbreaking blood collection service enables study designs that have previously been constrained by geographical and logistic limitations.

-          A research study abstract submitted by experts from Nightingale Health won the American Heart Association's Paul Dudley White International Scholar Award.

-          Nightingale Health received three new patents.

* The table does not show the P/E ratio because it is negative.

** The company's potential dilutive instruments consist of stock options. As the company's business has been unprofitable, stock options would have an anti-dilutive effect and therefore they are not taken into account in calculating the dilutive loss per share. Thus, there is no difference between the undiluted and diluted earnings per share.

From the CEO

Nightingale Health's mission is to build sustainable healthcare and reduce health inequalities. We need a more sustainable healthcare system because the number of people suffering from chronic diseases has grown too large, and the healthcare system is overburdened.

The main function of primary care is to promote health and prevent the onset of diseases. Primary care continuously carries out preventative work against chronic diseases, but the tools available for this are not efficient. They require substantial time and resources from healthcare professionals, and therefore, can only be used for a small part of the population.

Primary care needs an efficient tool that makes it possible to extend the prevention of chronic lifestyle diseases to the entire population.

Nightingale Health's unique blood-based health check is such a tool. The health check can replace many of the current routine tests in healthcare, and it can be used to broadly assess disease risks at the population level without burdening the already scarce healthcare resources. The health check requires little background information (age and sex) and only a small amount of blood. By detecting health risks on a population level, health interventions can be targeted to the ones that need them the most, and the onset of chronic diseases can be prevented more efficiently.

In September 2023, we published a strategy update and announced that going forward, we would focus on the B2B and B2G markets. We updated our strategy so that we can concentrate on solving the biggest challenge in healthcare globally.

The implementation of the new strategy has started well. Terveystalo, Finland's largest private healthcare provider, has adopted our health check, utilizing the risk assessments and diagnostic blood values in regular occupational health checks. This demonstrates that our technology brings added value to healthcare and can be successfully integrated into existing clinical operations, where blood samples are taken systematically on a nationally significant scale. Terveystalo's occupational health services cover approximately 700,000 employees, almost a third of Finland's workforce.

In Singapore, we were excited to start our partnership with Innoquest Diagnostics, a leading clinical diagnostics service provider, and its parent company, Pathology Asia. Through this collaboration, our health check will become available in Singapore as well as other parts of the Southeast Asia region. Singapore's health ecosystem is one of the most advanced globally, and we have already been privileged to serve multiple medical research institutions in the country for several years. The clinical implementation of our health check in Singapore is a significant achievement, which allows us to contribute to the advancement of preventative healthcare in Singapore. The launch of the health check in Singapore is progressing in collaboration with Innoquest Diagnostics, and as we announced a few weeks ago, we have already received the first regulatory approval in Singapore.

During the half-year period, we also announced the completion of the analysis of blood samples from all 500,000 UK Biobank participants. Completing the project is a culmination point for the company's long-term product development phase, which has lasted almost ten years. No other company in the world has managed to reach a similar level of scientific scrutiny and medical evidence in understanding chronic diseases as Nightingale Health has. The evidence obtained has enabled the adoption of our technology at national and international levels in healthcare. From these starting points, we are in an exceptional position to expand the use of our technology in large-scale healthcare initiatives worldwide.

We are extremely proud of our achievements over the past ten years, but this is just a start. With this pace of scientific and technological progress, we will soon be replacing many of the current solutions in primary care with better tools for chronic disease detection to make our health systems more preventative, effective, and smarter. This will bring an exciting and better future for everyone.
