Lund, Sweden - Clinical Laserthermia Systems AB (publ) ("CLS" or the "Company") today publishes its interim report for January - March 2026.
Highlights of First Quarter Interim Report 2026
During the first quarter, CLS continued to produce and deliver products, development, and support services to its partners, supporting the expansion of the installed base and adoption of its product portfolio.
Outlook 2026
With the agreement between CLS and its strategic partner in the US in place to accelerate the growth of the Prism business, CLS expects full-year 2026 revenue to show strong double-digit growth compared to 2025, with performance weighted toward the second half of the year.
Revenue development remains dependent on the timing of system placements and the ramp-up of LITT procedure volumes and will therefore vary between quarters.
This outlook reflects the Company's current expectations based on available information and may be subject to change.
Summary of the Year-end report (relates to the Group)

Comments from CEO
In the first quarter, sales were impacted by ongoing discussions with our neurosurgery partner regarding the conditions for scaling of the Prism business, reflecting a transition toward a significantly expanded commercial opportunity driven by the expanded FDA clearance for use with both 3.0T and 1.5T MRI guidance, our partner's increased capabilities and a growing LITT market.
While the discussions have impacted revenue in the short term, it is important to emphasize that the underlying fundamentals of our business remain strong. We continue to see solid clinical momentum and increasing adoption of neuro LITT procedures within neurosurgery, supported by updated clinical guidelines and established reimbursement.
Operationally, CLS remains well positioned. We continue to benefit from a structurally improved cost base, supporting a positive operational cash flow trend.
Following the end of the quarter, we announced two important milestones - the agreement with our strategic partner to accelerate the growth of the Prism business followed by purchase orders securing short-term revenue. This agreement establishes a clear and jointly committed plan within a long-term partnership framework extending through 2030.
This marks a clear shift for CLS - from a period of alignment and preparation into a phase focused on accelerated growth and scaling with more stability.
At the same time, we continue to execute our broader partnership strategy. The installation of the TRANBERG® system at Andros Clinics and the successful treatment of initial patients highlight continued clinical relevance and market interest in focal therapy of localized prostate cancer within urology.
Looking ahead
Looking ahead, we expect 2026 to be a transitional year, where the operational foundation for accelerated growth is established, with increasing commercial momentum as the year progresses.
Key priorities for the remainder of the year include:
As a result, we expect commercial activity and revenue to pick up in the coming quarters, with some variability between quarters depending on the timing of system placements and procedure ramp-up.
As mentioned in our earlier communication, significant unmet medical needs exist across several established and emerging indications addressed by the Prism product portfolio, including treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy, primary brain tumors, metastatic brain tumors, radiation necrosis, as well as future brain and spine applications.
To fully capture identified opportunities, CLS intends to invest in:
While the growth plan requires increased near-term investments, we believe it creates a stronger and more scalable path for CLS toward sustainable value creation. With a leading position in Neuro LITT, we will also be well positioned to expand into additional market segments.
With a clear focus on acceleration, scaling and long-term value creation we have updated our guidance on achieving positive cash flow from Q4 2026 to Q1 2028 and are evaluating financing alternatives intended at strengthening the Company's ability to execute on the growth plan.
With strong clinical momentum, lowered barriers to adoption, focused organization, and a strengthened partnership in neurosurgery, CLS is operationally well positioned to accelerate growth and expand access to minimally invasive laser therapy to a continuously growing patient population.
I would like to thank our employees, partners, and shareholders for your continued trust as we build CLS toward sustainable profitability and long-term value creation.
