CEO comments

Optomed experienced very strong revenue growth during the first quarter. The Devices segment sales grew by an exceptional 49%, driven by strong demand from China and a positive start in our US camera sales. Also, the Software segment reported high growth numbers with revenue increasing by 21% during the quarter, due to significant new solution deliveries, as well as increased sales to existing customers.  In total the Group’s revenue increased by 30% compared to the previous year. This strong increase in demand is caused by the transformation in the eye screening market more towards primary care with the support of telemedicine services and artificial intelligence, which was accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic. This need for remote eye care services has increased the demand for mobile cameras. Especially in our key markets, such as China and the United States, the demand for handheld devices has been growing rapidly. We have also been able to increase awareness of the Optomed brand as the number one handheld camera manufacturer globally, and therefore strengthen our market position even further.

Revenue increased in most of our main sales channels, although the Covid-19 pandemic continues to negatively impact our traditional distribution channels in several countries. Overall, sales to our OEM partners have been slower than last year, but we expect them to reactivate their orders later on this year.

Most ophthalmology segment exhibitions and other business events are postponed, and face-to-face customer meetings are still not possible due to limited travel possibilities. As a result, our traditional distribution channel sales and solution deliveries have not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels. When the situation gradually adjusts to the new normal and personal sales work to hospitals is possible again, we believe that the demand for screening solutions will increase.

Demand for our products is currently strong in our key markets China and the United States. In China, we have started a distribution channel reform to expand our sales network to cover both a larger geographic area and more customer segments. We have started cooperating with a very well-known Chinese company focusing on pharmaceutical and medical device sales. The first camera deliveries to this new partner were made during the first quarter. This change in distribution will have a moderate effect on our expenses in the first half of the year, but we believe this expanded sales coverage will enable us to further increase our camera sales in China in both short and long term.

Our US business has progressed as expected. We have started new distribution collaborations and our strategic cooperation projects with hospitals, AI companies and our partners providing telemedicine services have proceeded as planned. These actions combined with accelerated demand for handheld cameras contributed to the strong sales in the US market compared to the previous quarter.

We believe that the transformation in the eye screening market accelerated by the coronavirus pandemic towards remote diagnosis will further increase the demand for handheld cameras. This new market situation has advanced the use of AI services and the transition of eye screenings to primary care. There is now a momentum for handheld cameras, AI services and screening solutions, and therefore we are investing heavily in clinical research of our products and solutions, development of new products and expanding our sales coverage globally. These investments are reflected in higher costs throughout the year. Our stable financial situation enables these growth investments, and we believe that we are now in a very strong position to take advantage of the opportunities brought by the new market situation. Our systematic pioneering work in the commercialization of handheld cameras and artificial intelligence services are now gradually starting to materialize, despite we are still in the early phases of our journey.

CEO, Seppo Kopsala

Outlook 2021

Group performance

January – March 2021

In January-March 2021, Group revenue increased by 30.0 percent to EUR 3,944 (3,044) thousand. The main driver for revenue growth was increase in demand for handheld cameras in China. In the US, the demand has also increased sharply due to the the transformation in the eye screening market accelerated by the coronavirus pandemic towards remote diagnosis. The Devices segment’s revenue increased very strongly by 48.6 percent. The Software segment’s solid performance continued, and its revenue also increased very strongly by 21.2 percent driven by stable recurring business from the existing customers in addition to new global solution delivery projects. The Group gross margin of 65.3 (65.2) percent was largely in line with first quarter 2020. The Group recorded other operating income of EUR 82 (1) thousand during January-March. The January-March Group gross margin excluding other operating income was 63.3 percent in 2021 and 65.1 percent in 2020.

In January-March 2021, both Group reported EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA amounted to EUR -315 (-575).  The main reasons for the positive adjusted EBITDA development compared to 2020 was the higher gross margin of the devices segment due to higher share of Optomed branded product sales with more favorable gross margins.

In January-March 2021, net financial items amounted to EUR 216 (209) thousand and consisted mainly of interest payments to financial institutions and the translation effect of Chinese RMB and USD to EUR.

Cash flow and financial position

January – March 2021

In January-March 2021, the cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR –257 (-2,920) thousand. The first quarter 2020 included deferred payments from 2019 because of the successful IPO in December 2019. Net cash in investing activities was EUR –557 (-354) thousand and relates mainly to capitalized development expenses. Net cash from financing activities amounted to EUR –71 (-3,452). The First quarter of 2020 included a loan repayment of EUR 3,2 million.

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to EUR 9,767 (12,145) thousand. Interest-bearing net debt totaled EUR –3,416 (-5,566) thousand at the end of the period.

Net working capital was EUR 3,689 (3,529) thousand at the end of the period.

January – March 2021

In January-March 2021, the Devices segment revenue increased very strongly by 48.6 percent and was EUR 1,447 (974) thousand. The growth was mainly driven by increase in demand for handheld cameras in China. In the US, the demand has also increased sharply due to the the transformation in the eye screening market accelerated by the coronavirus pandemic towards remote diagnosis.

In January-March 2021, the gross margin increased to 58.2 percent from 40.7 percent in the previous year. The positive variance is partly related to a higher share of Optomed branded products sold with a higher gross margin compared to OEM products and partly to special sourcing arrangements in first quarter 2020, as a consequence of the COVID-19 outbreak, which temporary increased our cost of sales.

EBITDA was EUR -231 (-421) thousand or –15.9 (-43.2) percent of revenue. The key drivers for the improved EBITDA were higher revenue and gross profit.

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 2021

In January-March 2021, the Software segment had another successful quarter and the revenue increased very strongly by 21.2 percent and was EUR 2,497 (2,060) thousand. Performance was driven by the continued stable recurring business with the current customer base in addition to new global solution delivery projects. In January-March 2021, the gross margin was 69.5 (76.7) percent. The gross margin decreased due to different product mix in sales as compared to previous year.

EBITDA was EUR 540 (481) thousand or 21.6 (23.3) percent of revenue, respectively. The travel restriction due to the pandemic have also in the first quarter of 2021 slowed down the global screening solution sales.

To estimate the impact of acquisitions on reported revenue, the revenue from the contributions of the acquired units for the current period is subtracted from the total revenue for the same period. To estimate the impact of divestments on reported revenue, the revenue from the contributions from the divested units for the current period is subtracted from the total revenue from the previous respective comparison period. Currency fluctuations: Shows how the reported revenue has been affected by the translation of revenue generated in other currencies than the euro (which is the Group’s accounting currency) when there are exchange rate differences between the current period and the corresponding comparative period.
