The report, which has not been reviewed by the Company’s auditors, is attached to this release and is also available on https://stenocare.com/investor-relations/
Thomas Skovlund Schnegelsberg, CEO of STENOCARE, comments:
”In Q4 and 2021 in general our endurance was tested once again in terms of commercial traction. On the other hand, we experienced solid progress on all other fronts:
- International sales are underway
- Multi supplier strategy is in place and proven
- The indoor cultivation facility is gearing up
- Legislation has been reaffirmed in Denmark
All this points to a very exciting 2022. Most importantly, though, we are enthused by the news in January (last month) that STENOCARE is now back in the role as sole supplier of medical cannabis oils under the new legislation with sales expected to climb towards the levels of Q1-2019 during the year (4-5mDKK per quarter)”
