LINKÖPING, Sweden, Jan. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity
company Sectra (STO: SECTB) is arranging a
Capital Markets Day today in Linköping, Sweden. The theme for the event is "Sectra
today and three years ahead within medical imaging IT – Sectra's
largest operating area."
The day will kick off with an update from President and CEO
Torbjörn Kronander on what Sectra is doing and where the Group
stands today. Afterwards, the focus will shift to the Imaging IT
Solutions business area and relevant customer offerings, market
trends, strategic priorities and growth areas. The program will
conclude with a review of the possibilities for AI within radiology
and pathology as well as how Sectra is positioning itself to meet
future changes within imaging diagnostics and medicine.
"We live in a rapid changing world where healthcare across the
globe is facing major challenges and responsibilities. Within
Imaging IT, we specialize in imaging diagnostics for radiology,
pathology and increasingly even cardiology. The day will be about
how we're positioning ourselves in relation to these areas to meet
customers' needs for solutions that increase productivity,
coordinate resources and improve quality of care. That's how we
help more patients receive care and save more lives," says Marie
Ekström Trägårdh, President of Imaging IT Solutions and Executive
Vice President of Sectra AB.
Sectra Group's long-term financial goals remain firm and are, in
order of priority:
1. Stability: The equity/assets ratio is to be at least 30%
2. Profitability: The operating margin (EBIT margin) is to be at
least 15%
3. Growth: Operating profit (EBIT) per share is to grow by at
least 50% over a five-year period
Helping customers to improve the efficiency and quality of
patient care and increase cybersecurity in critical social
functions is Sectra's most significant contribution to a more
sustainable society. With all of the financial goals achieved,
Sectra aims to continue growing in the long term. High customer
satisfaction, favorable profitability and long-term customer
contracts have laid a solid foundation for the company's
growth.
"This time we've chosen to dive deeper into our largest business
area, Imaging IT Solutions, but we also have other exciting
opportunities that we'll touch on briefly as well as our financial
goals. The focus is still on long-term growth, wherein we consider
the two financial goals of equity/assets ratio and operating margin
to be hygiene factors. Any profits we generate over a 15% operating
margin will be re-invested in growth opportunities—a strategy
that's historically been very successful for the company's
shareholders," says Torbjörn Kronander, President and CEO of Sectra
AB.
