CEO comments

The negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the fundus camera market, the related software market and hence to Optomed's business continued during the third quarter. The demand for fundus cameras and artificial intelligence solutions showed signs of recovery in several countries, but this was not yet fully reflected in revenue growth. Deliveries and deployment of new devices and solutions remained challenging as hospitals and clinics limited vendors 'access to their facilities. Our Software segment continued its solid performance driven by stable recurring revenue streams from existing customers and maintained good profitability.

Despite the new wave of the pandemic and its impact on healthcare units' operations, the demand for our fundus cameras began to recover during the third quarter in China as well as in some European countries. This was reflected as revenue growth in our Devices segment compared to the very challenging second quarter. We expect the global market to continue this favorable development, despite the COVID-19 related restrictions will continue in hospitals and clinics at least throughout the acceleration phase of the pandemic, affecting our short-term revenue growth negatively.

Sales growth in China was driven by the general recovery of the market and especially due to our Chinese key customer's device purchases. Handheld camera sales in China are expected to remain strong throughout the rest of the year. A similar recovery in demand was also seen in parts of Europe and Russia. In contrast, the markets in the Americas, Asia and the Middle East are still suffering significantly from the slowdown caused by the pandemic. The company's global OEM customers continued to reduce their inventories and did not order significant quantities of new products from Optomed during the quarter.

Despite the pandemic, our market expansion to the USA is progressing well. During the quarter we signed strategic cooperation agreements with various clinical and commercial partners, started new pilot projects and made the first camera deliveries to major reference customers. In addition, the pilot phase of a clinical trial aiming for an FDA approval for the combined product consisting of Optomed Aurora and AEYE Health's diabetic retinopathy AI algorithm. The introduction of AI in eye disease screening is currently making significant progress, especially in the United States, where a new reimbursement code for autonomous AI for diabetic retinopathy screening has been opened and will be in use starting 2021. Optomed's goal is to continue to be among the leading companies in commercializing AI solutions. Additionally, Optomed has signed a distribution agreement with Eyenuk Inc, a global AI medical technology company. The agreement enables Eyenuk to sell Optomed's handheld fundus cameras in the Americas.

The development of our new products is proceeding as planned. After the review period, we received a medical devices regulatory approval in the People's Republic of China for Optomed's latest generation handheld camera, Optomed Aurora. This allows Optomed to start commercial operations of the Aurora camera in China. The commercial launch of Aurora IQ, our AI-integrated handheld fundus camera will begin with a global launch event on 26th November 2020. We expect these significant product launches to favorably support the sales development of our cameras starting next year. We also expect the Aurora IQ to significantly accelerate the growth in the number of users of our AI services. Although the pandemic will largely determine the near-term outlook for the Devices segment, the product launches described above, combined with various solution sales opportunities and the opening of potential new customer segments and geographies, will create a solid base for the company's revenue to return to growth in 2021. Optomed's strong financial position enables the company to be ready to respond to the recovery in demand and opportunities in the market.

CEO

Seppo Kopsala

Outlook 2020 (Unchanged)

 

We continue to progress our expansion towards the US market and grow our international distributor network. Additionally, we are currently investing in the development of our first fully integrated AI camera with expected commercial launch during 2020.

Optomed expects its revenue to decline during 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic has a negative effect on Optomed's growth and business in 2020.

Group performance

July - September 2020

In July-September 2020, Group revenue decreased by 6.0 percent to EUR 3,338 (3,551) thousand. The Software segment's solid performance continued, and its revenue increased by 6.7 percent. Postponed diabetic retinopathy screenings and other diagnostic examinations have also slowly started to recover during the review period. The Devices segment was still affected by the pandemic, but the market showed signs of recovery. Devices segment's revenue decreased by 17.5 percent. This is a clear improvement over the second quarter and an indication of market recovery towards the end of the quarter. The Group gross margin increased to 67.8 from 57.3 percent last year. The company recorded governmental grants of EUR 29 (-235) thousand during July-September. The grant received during the comparative period 2019 includes a negative project adjustment of EUR 317 related to an EU financed development project. The July-September Group gross margin excluding grants was 66.9 percent in 2020 and 63.9 percent in 2019. The increase is due to Software segment's increased share of total revenue.

In July-September 2020, Group EBITDA amounted to EUR 229 (-546) thousand and adjusted EBITDA totaled EUR 229 (-160) thousand. The July-September 2019 was affected by EUR 386 thousand of IPO expenses classified as items affecting comparability. The main reasons for the positive adjusted EBITDA variance versus 2019 were higher gross margin and lower operating expenses as a result of the company's swift response to the pandemic and the related cost reduction actions. The company has since April cut travelling, postponed external events and commenced part time temporary layoffs. The layoffs were still in effect during the quarter. EBIT was EUR -278 (-1,109) thousand and adjusted EBIT was EUR -278 (-723) thousand.

In July-September 2020, net financial items amounted to EUR -41 (-142) thousand and consisted mainly of interest payments to financial institutions and the translation effect of Chinese RMB to EUR. Third quarter of 2020 was also affected by an increase in investments in low risk money market funds.

January - September 2020

In in July-September 2020, Group revenue decreased by 15.8 percent to EUR 8,969 (10,649) thousand. The Software segment performed well considering the ongoing COVID-19 situation, and its revenue growth was 2.1 percent driven by stable recurring business from the existing customers. The Devices segment's revenue decreased by 34.8 percent. The decrease was a result of the COVID-19 pandemic which halted personal sales work to clinics and hospitals, and deliveries to our OEM customers have been postponed as they have reacted to this unusual market situation by reducing their own inventories. The gross margin increased to 68.5 percent from 67.6 percent of the comparison period. The company received governmental grants of EUR 117 (242) thousand in the first nine month of 2020 and 2019, which increased the gross margin of both periods. The grant for the comparison period 2019 included a negative adjustment of EUR 317 thousand for an EU-funded RD project. The January-September gross margin excluding grants was 67.2 percent in 2020 and 65.3 percent in 2019.

In January-September 2020 EBITDA amounted to EUR -671 (-885) thousand and adjusted EBITDA totaled EUR -671 (19) thousand. January-September 2019 was affected by EUR 904 thousand of IPO expenses classified as items affecting comparability. The main reasons for the adjusted EBITDA variance versus 2019 were lower revenue and gross profit which were partly compensated by lower operating expenses due to the layoffs, lower level of corporate travelling, as well as external events that had been cancelled or postponed due to the COVID-19 situation. EBIT was EUR -2,312 (-2,563) thousand and adjusted EBIT was EUR -2,312 (-1,659) thousand.

Net financial items amounted to EUR -272 (-289) thousand in January-September 2020 and consisted mainly of interest payments to financial institutions and the translation effect of Chinese RMB to EUR.

Cash flow and financial position

 

In January-September 2020, the cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR -400 (-530) thousand. Net cash used in investing activities was EUR -398 (-314) thousand and relates mainly to capitalized development expenses. Net cash from financing activities amounted to EUR -82 (43).

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to EUR 10,899 (1,721) thousand. Interest-bearing net debt totaled EUR -4,381 (8,354) thousand at the end of the period.

July- September 2020

In July-September 2020, the Devices segment revenue decreased by 17.5 percent. The decrease was, as in the second quarter, caused by the pandemic affecting personal sales work to hospitals and clinics. Deliveries to OEM customers were postponed as they have reacted to the unusual market situation by reducing their own inventories. Signs of recovery were seen in certain markets such as China and later in the European countries. The revenue grew in China driven by the major Chinese customer returning to normal order levels.

In July-September 2020, the gross margin increased to 60.7 percent from 41.2 percent in the previous year. The company received governmental grants of EUR 29 (-235) thousand in the third quarter of 2020. The grant in 2019 included a negative project adjustment of EUR 317 related to an EU financed development project. The gross margin excluding grants was 58.8 percent in 2020 and 53.8 percent in 2019. The remaining variance was due to decreased OEM sales and increased sales of the Aurora camera.

In July-September 2020, EBITDA was EUR 290 (-155) thousand or 18.9 (-8.3) percent of revenue. The key driver for the increase in EBITDA was the improved gross margin and lower operating expenses related to lower employee related expenses due to layoffs and COVID-19 outbreak affecting corporate traveling and external events.

January- September 2020

In January-September 2020, the Devices segment revenue decreased by 34.8 percent caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

In January-September 2020, the gross margin decreased to 55.7 percent from 59.9 percent in the previous year. The company received governmental grants of EUR 101 (175) thousand in 2020. The gross margin excluding grants was 52.7 percent in 2020 and 56.5 percent in 2019.

In January-September 2020, EBITDA was EUR -251 (-240) thousand or -7.5 (-4.7) percent of revenue. In spite the revenue decreased by 34.8 percent, the EBITDA was roughly on the same level due to the cost saving measures started in response to the pandemic.

Software segment

Optomed has two synergistic business segments: Devices and Software.

The Software segment develops and commercializes screening software for diabetic retinopathy and cancer screening for healthcare organizations. The segment also distributes off-the-shelf products from selected partners to supplement its own solutions and expertise and provides software consultation to support the Devices segment screening solution projects.

The company has one share series with all shares having the same rights. At the end of the review period Optomed Plc's share capital consisted of 14,003,144 shares and the company held 775,878 shares in the treasury which corresponds approximately 5.5 percent of the total amount of the shares and votes.

Risks and uncertainties

The key risks and uncertainties are described in the company's annual report 2019 which was published on 20 March 2020. The complete report is available at https://www.optomed.com/investors/. In this financial report, the company describes only the changes to the complete risks and uncertainties described in the annual report.

The COVID-19 coronavirus risk as disclosed in the H1-2020 report has been updated as follows:

COVID-19 coronavirus

The COVID-19 outbreak has turned into a pandemic the length and prolonged effect of which are uncertain.

The company's software segment continues to be largely unaffected due to recurring nature of the business and long-term customer agreements, however, the Devices segment sales have been negatively affected by the pandemic. The medical sector as a whole is concentrated on addressing the immediate pandemic and other supplier meetings and purchases are postponed. This has an effect on the company's ability to sell its devices and increase its customer base especially because face-to-face meetings are market standard for fundus camera sales.

Currently, it seems like the PRC and the APAC have recovered from the pandemic and demand is picking up again in these regions. However, Europe and the US have been hit by a new wave of infections which may have a negative effect on both the European sales and the US operations that are in the ramp-up phase. Further, Optomed recognizes the risk of a prolonged pandemic which may cause additional restrictions and other negative effects globally and especially also in the currently mostly unaffected regions such as the PRC and the APAC. The company has taken precautions to protect its currently strong cash position.

Other events

On 18 September 2020, Optomed announced that Optomed and AEYE Health agreed to enter into clinical and commercial collaboration to introduce an AI fundus camera Aurora AEYE. The collaboration includes a clinical trial with the aim to receive U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for autonomous AI for retinal screening.

On 11 September 2020, Optomed announced the composition of the shareholders Nomination Board. The shareholders represented in the shareholders' Nomination Board are Cenova Capital's controlled entities (Alnair Investments, Cenova China Healthcare Fund IV and Shanghai Cenova Innovation Venture Fund (Limited Partnership)), Robert Bosch Venture Capital GmbH and Aura Capital Oy.

· Hai Wu, Cenova Capital
· Ingo Ramesohl, Robert Bosch Venture Capital GmbH
· Jarmo Malin, Aura Capital Oy

The Nomination Board is to prepare proposals on the composition and members of the Board of Directors and their remuneration for the next Annual General Meeting and it will submit its proposal to the Board of Directors 31 January 2021 at the latest.

Events after the review period

On 13 November 2020, Optomed announced that it has received a medical devices regulatory approval in the People's Republic of China for Optomed's latest generation handheld camera, Optomed Aurora.
