CEO Review

Software segment and profitability continues to grow.

The sales growth of Optomed's Software business unit continued, driven by new healthcare software solution deliveries and increased recurring business. In addition to revenue growth, the Software Segment's profitability was very good during the review period. Similar to previous quarters, we are highly satisfied with this development, as it enables significant investments in launching new products into the market and expanding into the US market.

The Devices Segment that is currently in a transitional phase, had a relatively quiet quarter, although the gap from the comparison period of the previous year was not as significant as in the previous quarter. Sales of devices under our own brand, particularly through our international distribution channels, showed strong growth once again. However, OEM sales declined significantly compared to the previous year. As a result, the Devices Segment's sales slightly decreased compared to the comparison period. The trend where the number of devices sold under our own brand grows more than OEM sales in the Devices Segment, continued strongly during the quarter. This shift in trend has recently had a negative impact on revenue development but a positive effect on sales margins.

We are confident that our products are highly competitive and well-positioned in the global market. Our pipeline has expanded, including significant organizational tenders in multiple markets. With these initiatives, we anticipate a return to a growth trajectory for the Device's segment, driving revenue growth. Currently, our primary focus is on advancing the FDA approval process for the AI fundus camera Aurora AEYE, which is our most significant ongoing project. We are making progress during the review period and are approaching our target. However, until we have official updates to share, we will refrain from providing further comments on this matter. We have a good understanding of the FDA's expectations and are confident that we can meet them with the ongoing measures we have in place. Additionally, another important project for the company is the completion of the new device development project, which is currently in the CE approval phase.

The company's profitability and cash flow development continue positively. This is influenced by growing and profitable software sales, Devices segments improving sales margins, significant investment projects in their final stages, and declining fixed costs. Our products are technically excellent and competitive, and the development pipeline for new products is strong. The anticipated FDA clearance for AI fundus camera Aurora AEYE that we are targeting will be an extremely significant breakthrough for the company when it materializes.

I am satisfied with the current situation of the company and optimistic about its future prospects. The company and organization are ready to start the next phase.

Seppo Kopsala

Selected notes

Corporate information and basis of accounting

Corporate information

Optomed is a Finnish medical technology group (hereafter `Optomed' or `Group') that specialises in handheld fundus cameras and solutions for screening of blinding eye diseases, established in 2004.

The Group's parent company, Optomed Plc (hereafter the `Company'), is a Finnish public limited liability company established under the laws of Finland, and its business ID is 1936446-1. It is domiciled in Oulu, Finland and the Company's registered address is Yrttipellontie 1, 90230 Oulu, Finland.

Basis of accounting     

Optomed's consolidated financial statements has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. The preparation of this interim report also takes into account the amendments to IFRS standards that have become effective by January 1, 2023.

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with Group`s last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022. This Interim financial statements do not include all of the information required by IAS 34: selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group`s financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.

All presented figures have been rounded so the sum of the individual figures may differ from the presented total figure.

Financial ratios have been calculated using exact figures.

This report has been authorized for issue by the company`s board of directors.

Critical management judgments and related estimates and assumptions                                                                        

The preparation of financial statements under IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other justified assumptions, such as future expectations, that Optomed management believes are reasonable under the circumstances at the end of the reporting period and the time when they were made.                                                                                                                

Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis and when preparing financial statements. Changes in accounting estimates may be necessary if there are changes in the circumstances on which the estimate was based, or as a result of new information or more experience. Such changes are recognized in the period in which the estimate or the assumption is revised.             

       

Use of judgment and estimates

  

Judgements that management has made in the process of applying accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements, relate to the following areas:

- Determining trade receivables credit risk

- capitalisation of development costs: determination of development expenditure eligible for capitalisation

- impairment testing of development expenditures

Fair values - financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

Optomed considers that the carrying amounts of the financial liabilities measured at amortized cost substantially equal to their fair values.

Financial covenants

Optomed's borrowings from financial institutions contain a financial covenant (equity ratio) and Optomed also has to meet certain key operative targets.

Optomed has to comply with the financial covenant terms specified in the loan agreement terms at the financial year-end. Equity ratio is calculated using the agreed formula. The table below summarizes the Group's financial covenant term and compliance during the reporting period.

At June 30, 2022 35% 62.7% Optomed Group

Company's Equity ratio is calculated as follows depending on the lender:

Optomed was in compliance with the covenant as at June 30, 2023.
