CEO comments

The year 2020 started under extraordinary circumstances.

Healthcare priorities around the world have now temporarily shifted towards coping with the COVID-19 pandemic, and all non-urgent procedures and related investments are postponed in many clinics. Inevitably this will impact majority of businesses operating in the ophthalmic equipment industry including Optomed.

When the COVID-19 started to spread across the world, the fundus camera market slowed down significantly.  Optomed sales representatives and and our distributors were not able to travel or enter hospitals in majority of the 60 countries we operate in. During the first quarter, many ophthalmic clinics and optometrists postponed their non-urgent patient appointments and new investment decisions until further. These factors combined caused our Devices segment revenue to drop from expected levels. The drop in revenue was first seen in our camera sales in China, followed by other Asian countries and then Europe and Middle-East towards the end of the quarter. However, sales to our OEM customers remained on expected levels throughout the entire quarter.

The coronavirus impacts our fundus camera sales much harder than our Software segment. Despite the dramatic changes within the healthcare environment, our Software segment revenue for the first quarter grew slightly compared to previous year. Despite deliveries of new eye screening solutions to hospitals are currently on hold, our Software segment’s existing customer base continues to generate stable recurring revenue for Optomed.

In the beginning of the year when the first COVID-19 news started to emerge from China, we proactively started additional material sourcing and supply chain related actions to mitigate the possible negative effects of the pandemic in our production, and purchased certain key components from various suppliers. With these actions we are able to secure the supply of fundus cameras to all our customers globally also throughout the pandemic period. These arrangements increased our COGS during the quarter but as they are temporary, not material by nature, they do not affect our long-term profitability. The effect of these arrangements is visible on our first quarter Devices segment COGS and gross margin, and may continue to have some effect for one or two more quarters as we continue using this existing material stock. These proactive measures turned out to be the right decision as the virus escalated into a global pandemic.

We have evaluated the COVID-19 pandemic impact to our global business carefully and taken all reasonable actions to minimise the consequences. We expect the recovery to start during the second half of the year first in China, followed by other markets. Eye clinics and other eye examination and screening providers cannot seize their operations for too long periods. Retinal screenings and other non-urgent examinations and related equipment investments can be postponed by some months, but they cannot be postponed for years or blindness will dramatically increase.

Eye clinics around the world have started seeking alternative models to perform eye examinations to cope with the effects of the pandemic. Several hospitals, clinics and optic shops have started expanding their telemedicine, home care and remote screening services. COVID-19 will not totally disappear in any time soon, even after strict lockdown measures have been gradually removed. This means that a large number of patients who belong to risk groups such as the elderly, diabetics or people with cardiovascular disease, are not recommended to visit crowded eye clinics or optometrists for their routine eye examinations. Ophthalmologists and optometrists who have previously performed their eye examinations only inside their clinics using traditional stationary fundus cameras are now facing a new situation where a large amount of their patients should be screened outside of their clinic. It is easier to keep patients safe when screenings are performed in smaller local healthcare centres or at patients’ home instead of large and crowded eye clinics. This has made many traditional ophthalmologists and optometrists to consider buying their first handheld fundus cameras, since they need new diagnostic equipment to treat their patients in a remote way.

We see this as an opportunity to further accelerate ongoing transformation of the fundus camera market towards portable cameras and remote screenings using telemedicine and AI grading.

Despite the transient slowdown caused by the coronavirus, Optomed remains a financially solid company. We have significant cash reserves and sufficient cash flow to continue executing our strategy without major disturbance. The Optomed US subsidiary has been established and we have hired an Executive President for the subsidiary on April 1st. Our manufacturing and supply chain functions are secured and the development of our AI integrated camera and other new key products move forward without delays. The devices segment sales are affected at the moment, but recovery is expected to start from China by end of the year.

Handheld fundus cameras and AI based automated diagnosis continue growing faster than the overall market. We believe that Optomed has products that are more suitable in the current situation than many traditional alternatives. Therefore, we expect to continue taking market share from traditional desktop cameras during these times and also in the post-COVID world, and will overcome this crisis relatively stronger than our competition.

Seppo Kopsala,
CEO

Outlook 2020

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

January – March 2020

Group revenue decreased by 6.3 percent to EUR 3,034 (3,240) thousand in the first quarter. The Software segment performed well considering the ongoing COVID-19 situation, and  revenue increased by 1.5 percent driven by stable recurring business from existing customers. On the other hand, the Devices segment’s revenue decreased by 19.5 percent, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic affecting the world economy. The gross margin decreased from 77.7 percent to 65.2 percent. In 2019, the company received a governmental grant of EUR 282 thousand, which increased the gross margin of the comparison period. The first quarter 2019 gross margin adjusted for the total amount of the grants would have been 69.0 percent. The remaining decrease was due to the new sourcing arrangement for the Devices segment and a general customer and product mix.

EBITDA amounted to EUR -575 (-113) thousand and adjusted EBITDA totaled EUR -575 (93) thousand. The first quarter of 2019 was affected by EUR 206 thousand of IPO expenses classified as items affecting comparability. The main reasons for the adjusted EBITDA variance versus 2019 were lower revenue and lower gross margin which is partly compensated by lower other operating expenses while travelling and external events have been cancelled or postponed due to the COVID-19 situation. Optomed also strengthened its management, sales and marketing functions in 2019 as key investments in future growth, which partly explains the weakened EBITDA as compared to 2019. EBIT was EUR -1,061 (-664) thousand and adjusted EBIT was EUR -1,061 (-458) thousand.

Net financial items amounted to EUR -209 (70) thousand and consisted mainly of interest payments to financial institutions and the translation effect of Chinese RMB to EUR. First quarter 2020 was also affected by a decline in investments in low risk money market funds.

Cash flow and financial position

In the first quarter, the cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR -2,920 (-539) thousand, of which the decrease in payables of EUR 2.4 million mainly relates to previous year IPO fees and expenses that was concluded in late December. Net cash used in investing activities was EUR -354 (-399) thousand and relates to capitalized development expenses. Net cash from financing activities amounted to EUR -3,452 (-4) and are mainly related to loan restructuring.

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to EUR 12,145 (1,066) thousand. Interest-bearing net debt totalled EUR -5,566 (9,251) thousand at the end of the period.

Net working capital was EUR 3,529 (2,125) thousand at the end of the period.

Devices segment

Optomed has two synergistic business segments: Devices and Software.

The Devices segment develops, commercializes and manufactures easy-to-use, and affordable handheld fundus cameras, that are suitable for any clinic for screening of various eye diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and AMD (Age Related Macular degeneration).

*) Alternative performance measures, see section Alternative Performance Measures for definitions and calculations.

January-March 2020

The Devices segment revenue decreased 19.5 percent in the first quarter, mainly caused by the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak initially affecting the China sales, and later on the APAC and the rest of the world.

The gross margin decreased to 40.7 percent from 82.2 percent of the previous year. In the first quarter 2019, the company received governmental grants of EUR 217 thousand, which increased the gross margin of the comparison period. In 2019, the first quarter gross margin adjusted for the total amount of the grants would have been 64.4 percent. The first quarter 2020 was affected by sourcing arrangements and purchases of certain key components to secure our manufacturing capability in the current COVID-19 situation. This arrangement combined with higher than normal OEM share of the revenue lowered the gross margin for the period.

EBITDA was EUR -421 (-233) thousand or -43.2 (-19.3) percent of revenue. The key driver for the decrease in EBITDA was the decreased revenue and gross margin partly compensated by lower operating expenses due to COVID-19 outbreak affecting traveling and external events and the reallocation of certain costs to group wide expenses.

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.

January – March 2020

The Software segment had a solid first quarter and the revenue increased 1.5 percent and was EUR 2,060 (2,030) thousand. The Software segment performance remained on good level in spite of the COVID 19 pandemic due to its stable recurring business with the current customer base. 2019 gross margin included governmental grants of EUR 65 thousand. EBITDA was EUR 481 (514) thousand or 23.3 (25.3) percent of revenue.

Group-wide expenses

Group-wide expenses relate to functions supporting the entire group such as treasury, group accounting, legal, HR, IT and public listing expenses.

January – March 2020

Group-wide operating expenses amounted to EUR 635 (394). The increase is related strenghtend management functions and transfer of marketing from Devices segment to group-wide expenses. The first quarter of 2019 include IPO expenses of EUR 206 thousand.

The increase in group common functions is mainly related to the transfer of staff from Devices and Software segments to group common functions as a consequence of establishing an operating segment in accordance with IFRS 8, which was concluded in late 2019 in conjunction with the listing of the Company on the Nasdaq Helsinki main list.

Risks and uncertainties

The key risks and uncertainties are described in the company’s annual report 2019 that was published 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 annual 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 remains largely unaffected due to recurring nature of the business, 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. The length of the pandemic and its possible after-effect remain uncertain so the company has taken precautions to protect its currently strong cash position by executing temporary lay-offs and various other cost cuts.

Other events

On 18 February 2020, Optomed announced that Health Canada has granted a medical device license to Optomed’s handheld fundus camera. Previously, the similar medical devices license (FDA) has been granted to the US market. The Canadian registration now allows commercials activities throughout North America.

Later during the review period, Optomed incorporated a subsidiary in the USA and hired the leader for the US operations.

Events after the review period

On 1 April 2020, Optomed announced that it starts employee co-operation negotiations. The negotiations were completed 14 April 2020 and they resulted into approximately 50 temporary part time lay offs for a maximum of 90 days. The group leadership team was included in the part time lay-offs. The lay-offs in combination with other cost saving measures are expected to generate cost savings of approximately EUR 400 thousand in 2020.
