What management said
We don't guide on and disclose gross margin levels on any of our products and Cardiohelp is no exception. Generally though, when we work with product development and new launches, we make sure that the products that -- from the next generation of any therapy or product category have a better gross margin than the category -- the generation that they replace, and Cardiohelp II should be no exception to this.
Yes, I think you're right. We said that they peaked at about SEK 800 million in 2024. We saw a small decrease in 2025. We expect another small decrease this year and then a slightly bigger decrease from 2027 onwards. And the end game here is to at least halve those costs.
What analysts pressed on
Analysts expressed concerns about the ongoing headwinds from tariffs and currency impacts on margins. There were also questions regarding the sustainability of growth in Acute Care Therapies and the potential impact of product launches on gross margins.
