Regulatory News:

IMPLANET (Euronext Growth: ALIMP, FR0013470168, eligible for PEA-PME equity savings plans), a medical technology company specializing in implants for orthopedic surgery and the distribution of technological medical equipment, today announces its revenue for the first half of 2024.

Ludovic Lastennet, IMPLANET’s Chief Executive Officer, stated: “The revenue recorded in this first half is in line with our recent publications. We continue to perform in our domestic market while being penalized by the decline in activity observed internationally. The reorganization of our US subsidiary, coupled with the FDA approval of our unique hybrid posterior fixation system resulting from the combined expertise of the Implanet and Sanyou Medical R&D teams, represents the most significant progress towards strengthening our product offering in this high-stakes market. Our medical equipment distribution activity continues its strong commercial momentum, reinforcing our diversification strategy by becoming a genuine growth driver.”

Spine activity in France increased by +16%, with revenue of €2.07 million for the first half of 2024, compared to €1.79 million for the same period in 2023. In the United States, revenue was €0.48 million for this period compared to €0.82 million in the first half of 2023. Activity remains impacted by the reorganization of the sales department in this region, initiated during the fourth quarter of 2023. Export activity in the rest of the world recorded revenue of €1.09 million in the first half of 2024, compared to €1.33 million for the same period the previous year. This decline is mainly due to a slowdown observed in Europe (-40%) and South America (-30%).

The Company is also continuing the rollout of its medical equipment distribution activity, with commercialization in France of the ultrasound surgical scalpel from SMTP, a subsidiary of Sanyou Medical. Revenue generated by this activity in the first half of 2024 was €0.46 million, nearly doubling (+81%) from €0.25 million recorded in the same period the previous year.

In total, Implanet achieved revenue of €4.1 million in the first half of 2024, down 4% compared to the first half of 2023.
