Commenting on the quarter, CEO Erik Jivmark says:

“We close the second quarter with continued revenue growth of 13 percent and an operating margin of 32 percent. This is an increase of 3 percent from the first quarter and an increase of 13 percent from the previous year. The growth comes from the increase in the number of subscribers in recent months, but also from the fact that we have managed to grow our existing partnerships.”

“With the recruitment of Elisabeth Hedman and Petter Höglander, the management team is now complete, and I see that our collective expertise makes us well equipped for Sleep Cycle's next phase. We have a strong team in place to continue our growth journey and as we now enter the third quarter, we have a clear idea of our priorities and what we need to achieve in the periods ahead.”
