TTM loss of SEK4.98b despite steady quarterly profits
- Over the last twelve months, Vitrolife reported total revenue of SEK3.39b and a net loss of SEK4.98b, even though the last four individual quarters, except Q4 2025, mostly show positive net income between SEK100 million and SEK129 million.
- Bulls point to the recent quarterly profits as early support for a recovery story, yet they are working against a very large trailing loss:
- Optimistic forecasts cited for Vitrolife expect earnings to move from a loss of about SEK5.0b today to SEK1.1b by around 2029. However, the current twelve month loss and the extreme Q4 2025 loss of SEK5.31b both highlight how far the company still has to go.
- This tension means the bullish case leans heavily on the idea that the more recent run of SEK100 million plus quarterly profits is a better guide to the future than the deep trailing loss embedded in the last year.
Current losses vs SEK190.53 DCF fair value
- The data shows Vitrolife is unprofitable on a trailing basis, with losses having widened at about 51% per year over five years. At the same time, the current share price of SEK92.30 is indicated as about 51.6% below a DCF fair value of SEK190.53.
- Skeptics question whether that valuation gap can close while earnings are still in the red:
- The bearish narrative flags that margins are currently described as deeply negative in the model, even though quarterly net income has recently been around SEK100 million, so the DCF fair value assumes a sharp inflection from today’s weak five year earnings track record.
- In addition, a P/S of 3.7x versus peer and industry averages of 20.3x and 9.1x suggests the low multiple is tied to those historical losses, which bears see as a sign that the market is still pricing in meaningful risk around the path back to sustained profitability.
6.5% revenue growth but profit quality in question
- Vitrolife’s revenue growth is reported at about 6.5% per year over the last twelve months, roughly matching the wider Swedish market, while trailing net profit margins remain negative with no improvement flagged despite several quarters of SEK100 million plus quarterly earnings.
- Consensus narrative supporters see steady revenue and product adoption as a base for margin repair, but the figures highlight a mixed picture:
- On the supportive side, quarterly revenue has hovered between SEK807 million and SEK892 million from Q2 2025 through Q2 2026, which is consistent with the idea of a resilient top line that could potentially support better margins if costs are contained.
- On the challenging side, the trailing EPS figure sits at a loss of SEK36.80 per share and past losses have reportedly grown about 51% per year, which sits awkwardly beside expectations that margins will turn positive to above 30% within a few years.
