VALENCE, France–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Regulatory News:

Amplitude Surgical (ISIN: FR0012789667, Ticker: AMPLI, eligible for PEA-PME plans) (Paris:AMPLI), a leading French player on the surgical technology market for lower-limb orthopedics, announces its sales for the first quarter of its 2021-22 financial year.

Olivier Jallabert, Amplitude Surgical’s CEO, commented: “In the first quarter of our 2021-22 financial year, Amplitude Surgical recorded a 7.1% decrease in sales, impacted by the level of knee and hip sales in France. Over the same period last year, activity benefited from a catch-up effect following the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, which wasn’t the case in 2021-22. On the contrary, we have seen lower operating room availability and a tendency by patients to postpone surgical procedures. Novastep, meanwhile, has continued its expansion, now accounting for approximately 15.6% of Group sales with growth of close to 31% over the period”.

Over the first quarter of its 2021-22 financial year (July-September 2021), Amplitude Surgical recorded sales of €20.2 million, down 6.5% in actual terms and -7.1% at constant exchange rates.

  • Knee and hip activity saw sales fall by 11.2% in actual terms and -11.8% at constant exchange rates. This decrease in activity corresponds primarily to the French market, with activity in the first quarter of 2020-21 having benefited from a catch-up effect in terms of surgical procedures following the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, which wasn’t the case this year. On the contrary, the first quarter of 2021-22 saw lower operating room availability and patients opting to postpone their surgical procedures.
  • Novastep, innovative solutions for foot and ankle surgery, recorded strong growth in the first quarter, with sales totaling €3.2 million (+30.8% at constant exchange rates), driven by the United States. Novastep’s activity thus accounted for 15.6% of total Group sales.
  • On the French market, across all segments, Amplitude Surgical’s activity was down by 13.3% last quarter, with sales totaling €12.3 million and accounting for 60.7% of total Group sales. This decrease in activity corresponds primarily to the impact of the knee and hip segments.
  • The Group’s international activity generated sales of €7.9 million, up 6.6% in actual terms and +4.7% at constant exchange rates thanks to the Group’s international subsidiaries. The Group’s subsidiaries recorded sales growth of 11.2% at constant exchange rates to €6.3 million thanks to the strong improvement in Novastep activity in the United States. Activity with the Group’s distributors was down 13.8% to €1.7 million;
  • Amplitude Surgical’s direct activity (French market and international subsidiaries), which accounted for close to 92% of the Group’s total sales, recorded a decrease of 6.5% at constant exchange rates.
