Oslo, 3 November 2022 - Observe Medical ASA ("the Company" or "Observe Medical")
today release its results for the third quarter of 2022.
"In October, we announced that Observe Medical had entered into an exclusive
agreement with the intention to acquire Convatec's Unometer urine measurement
portfolio, consisting of several market-leading brand names such as UnometerT
SafetiT Plus, UnometerT 500, and UnometerT Abdo-PressureT. This proposed
agreement comes with significant revenue potential and positions Observe Medical
as the leading urine measurement system provider in Europe. The agreement will
provide direct access to hundreds of distributors across more than 50 countries
worldwide and will bring with it several synergies and fast-track the go-to
-market strategy for Sippi®," says Rune Nystad, CEO of Observe Medical, and
added:
"In the period, we also strengthened the management team by bringing in Carsten
Trygve Bøgh as CTO. Combined, these are events that will support our growth
efforts in the immediate and long term."
Portfolio update
In the third quarter of 2022, Observe Medical has worked closely with its
recently selected manufacturing partner for Sippi®. With preparations underway,
the distribution network that follows the potential acquisition of the Unometer
product portfolio will significantly strengthen the sales channels for Sippi®.
The US roll-out of the Biim ultrasound system also continues across Fresenius
clinics, and the Company continues to support Fresenius' multi-clinic training
efforts.
The Company is proactive in pursuing new tenders and products complementing
existing product lines as part of the Nordic sales and distribution platform.
The platform is well-equipped to take on new products, such as the Unometer
product portfolio.

For the third quarter of 2022, Observe Medical reported NOK 3.4 million in total
revenues, and the gross margin amounted to 41 per cent. The EBITDA for the
quarter amounted to negative NOK 10.7 million as the Group continues to invest
in line with the growth strategy.
