## Geography

ScandiDos is headquartered in Uppsala, Sweden, and its development and support functions are centered there. The company sells directly or through subsidiaries in the Nordics, France, and the United States, while a wider distributor network covers other markets, especially in Asia. The business is exposed to mature replacement demand in Western markets and to capital spending cycles in faster-growing Asian radiotherapy markets.

- **Europe** (45%) — Direct sales in the Nordics and France; broader European presence via distributors.
- **North America** (30%) — The company states it is established on many leading clinics in North America.
- **Asia** (25%) — Asia is described as the main expansion market, with Japan specifically highlighted.

- Head office and core R&D are in Uppsala, Sweden
- Direct sales in the Nordics, France, and the United States
- Local distributors cover roughly 40 other markets
- Asia is an important growth region for radiotherapy investment
- Western Europe and North America are more mature replacement markets

## Strategy

ScandiDos focuses on radiotherapy quality assurance products that support precise and safe cancer treatment, with Delta4 Insight and newer stereotactic products extending the platform. The company’s commercial model combines direct sales in selected markets with distributors elsewhere, allowing it to reach installed radiotherapy centers globally. Its strategy also depends on product development, regulatory approvals, and maintaining relevance as radiotherapy techniques become more advanced.

- **Grow in Asia** (medium-term) — Asian radiotherapy markets still require new equipment and offer more expansion than mature Western markets.
- **Protect and renew the installed base** (short-term) — Western Europe and North America are mature, so growth depends on replacement sales and customer retention.
- **Advance product development** (medium-term) — New products help the company stay relevant as radiotherapy techniques become more complex.
- **Preserve market access through approvals and partners** (short-term) — Regulatory clearance and distributor coverage are essential to selling in multiple countries.

- Expand in Asia where radiotherapy investment remains strong
- Defend installed base in mature Western markets through replacements
- Develop new QA products such as Delta4 Insight and Delta4 SRS Pro
- Use distributors and channel partners to broaden global reach
- Maintain regulatory approvals to support market access

## Risks

ScandiDos faces exposure to currency movements because much of its sales are invoiced in euros and U.S. dollars, and it also depends on key personnel and distributor relationships. As a medical technology company, it must navigate regulatory approvals and product-registration timelines, while the value of capitalized intangibles depends on successful commercialization of new products. The business is also exposed to the usual radiotherapy-market risks of long sales cycles, customer budget timing, and technology adoption.

- **Foreign exchange volatility** [high] — Most sales are invoiced in euros and U.S. dollars, creating translation and transaction exposure.
- **Key-person dependence** [high] — The company relies on specialized technical and regulatory staff in a niche medtech business.
- **Distributor and partner concentration** [medium] — Sales in many markets depend on local distributors and industry partners.
- **Regulatory approval delays** [high] — Product registrations and renewals can take longer than planned in different countries.
- **Impairment of capitalized intangibles** [high] — Delta4 Insight and other development assets depend on future commercialization success.

- FX risk from euro and U.S. dollar invoicing
- Dependence on key employees and succession planning
- Distributor dependence in many export markets
- Regulatory approval delays can postpone sales
- Intangible asset impairment risk if product sales lag

## Accounting

The main accounting judgments for ScandiDos relate to capitalization and impairment of development-related intangible assets, especially products in commercialization. Revenue can also be affected by timing around product delivery, regulatory approvals, and distributor arrangements, while foreign-exchange hedging introduces derivative accounting and fair-value effects. Investors should also watch provisions, related-party transactions, and the treatment of company guarantees and pledged security.

- **Development intangible asset impairment** — Could accelerate write-downs if sales targets are missed
- **Foreign exchange hedging** — Can create gains/losses in other comprehensive income or P&L depending on hedge treatment
- **Revenue recognition timing** — Quarterly revenue can shift with shipment and approval timing
- **Related-party transactions** — Relevant for assessing transfer pricing and governance

- Capitalized development assets and impairment testing
- Revenue timing for direct sales and distributor channels
- Derivative accounting for FX hedges and fair-value changes
- Regulatory approval timing can affect shipment and revenue recognition
- Pledged security and related-party transactions require disclosure
