Message from the CEO
“SenzaGen has made history with a positive EBITDA for the first quarter 2024. I am incredibly proud and pleased with our growth and high gross margin, which have brought us to breakeven for the first time, a key step towards becoming a profitable growth company. The performance of our core platform GARD® was especially positive in the quarter, breaking sales records and growing by as much as 66% year-on-year. Our growing global customer base with high loyalty and several strong projects in development clearly show very exciting sales potential. Delivering strong sales combined with a high gross margin and effective cost controls will continue to be our highest priority.”

Peter Nählstedt, President and CEO
