Medicover AB - Chief Executive Officer, Director

Good morning everyone and welcome to the 1st quarter, 2025 results presentation.

In fact, I think it is robably the best report we have presented, possibly with the exception of one or two COVID, the doped pandemic reports, but in terms of the broad business, it is definitely the best report we have published since we listed the company now.

8 years ago. It's a combination of factors, we see continued strong top line growth.

Organic growth was more than 14%.

Most importantly, the further down, the profit and loss statement, you see, the more op operational leverage you see coming down in margins expanding.

I beta margin up 1.6% points. EBIT margin up 2.4% points, and you know it goes on as you flow through down the profit and loss statement, which is exactly what we have been focused on, it is exactly what we have been reporting to you over the past 4 or 5 quarters. It is just that it, as the numbers get bigger, it becomes a bit more pronounced, and that is really what we, what we see here.
