Continued underlying growth and strengthened customer relationships in a stabilising market
The second quarter of 2026 was a quarter of continued disciplined execution as we continued to strengthen the foundations for long-term growth. While market conditions remained stable, we deepened customer relationships, strengthened our presence in China, and continued to build the organisation to support the next phase of our transformation toward quantitative imaging.
Revenue for the second quarter of 2026 amounted to 35.3 MSEK (28.6), an increase of 23.6% compared to Q2 2025. As communicated in Q1 2026, ContextVision has refined the assessment of the timing of revenue recognition for certain customer contracts. In addition, a translational FX effect of –2.9% had a negative impact on sales, corresponding to –0.7 MSEK. Adjusted for these items, underlying revenue growth for the quarter amounted to approximately 1.6%. For the first half of the year, with the equivalent, adjustment the underlying growth amounted to 4.1%. This is consistent with our view of a market that remains broadly stable.
Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter amounted to 15.7 MSEK (5.1), excluding investments in Data Quality of 3.3 MSEK, corresponding to a margin of 44.4% (17.8%). The improvement in profitability reflects the combination of increased revenue as explained above, and continued cost discipline. R&D spend remained flat year-on-year, reflecting our continued commitment
to the long-term technology roadmap, while more efficient resource allocation within sales and marketing supported improved cost efficiency.
Across the industry, we continue to observe pricing pressure as customers increasingly favor high-end rather than premium product configurations. We view this primarily as a reflection of more value-conscious purchasing behavior rather than weakening underlying demand.
The reinforcement of customer relationships remained a priority in the second quarter, particularly in markets where procurement continues to be made cautiously. During the quarter, we participated in the China Medical Equipment Fair (CMEF), one of the region’s leading events. ContextVision was one of only two Swedish companies exhibiting at the fair, reflecting our strong position within advanced medical imaging software. Our presence at CMEF provided a valuable opportunity to deepen existing customer relationships, engage with new prospects, and introduce our clinically focused product portfolio.
As we anticipate an eventful second half of the year, a significant portion of our efforts during the second quarter focused on advan-cing our long-term technology roadmap and strengthening the partnerships that support our strategic ambitions. Our discussions with BeamWorks Inc. continued during the quarter. Our intention is that a potential collaboration will become an important building block in our long-term strategy within quantitative imaging and AI-driven diagnostics. In parallel, a major OEM successfully completed a supplier audit of ContextVision as part of its implementation of the IEC 62304 standard. The completion of the audit further reinforces our position as a trusted software development partner to leading global OEMs.
Looking ahead, building on the organisational changes communicated and implemented in the first quarter, we enter the second half of 2026 with stronger technical leadership and a more customer-centric sales organisation, which we believe will support improved conversion rates and create more opportunities for sales. The Annual General Meeting (AGM) in May saw the appointment of Homer Pien as a new member of the Board, bringing extensive experience from leading global technology and healthcare organisations that will be highly valuable as we advance our transformation towards quantitative imaging. With a stable financial position providing both financial strength and strategic flexibility, we remain committed to disciplined capital allocation while continuing to invest in our long-term ambition to lead the transition toward quantitative imaging.
