Third quarter of 2022

During the third quarter of 2022, the activity recorded a +5% growth, from €1.78M over the same period in 2021 to €1.86M.

Despite the fact that business in France is still affected by the shortage of hospital staff, which has prevented a return to normal levels of activity, the growth observed in the quarter is explained by:

• a 17% increase in sales in the United States, to €0.48 million from €0.41 million in the third quarter of 2021, enabling the company to return to an annual sales rate of €2.0 million in this territory. This growth is also marked by the resumption of orders and deliveries to SeaSpine.

• the acceleration of commercial development in the rest of the world, with growth of +13%, to reach €0.70 million compared to €0.62 million for the same period in 2021.

First nine months of 2022

In the first nine months of 2022, the activity increased by a factor of 1.4, i.e. by +37%, from €4.38 million in the same period in 2021 to €5.97 million. This increase is explained both by the organic growth of the JAZZ activity (+18%) and by the acquisition of OSD which generated revenues of €2.21 million in the first nine months of 2022.

In France, the activity amounts to 2.49 M€, a growth of +40% compared to the same period in 2021. Activity in the United States has returned to the level observed in 2021 thanks to the good performance recorded in the third quarter of 2022 (+17%), ensuring revenues of €1.28 million for the first nine months of 2022, compared with €1.30 million for the same period in 2021.

In the rest of the world, the export activity has been multiplied by 1.7, going from 1.27 M€ in 2021 to 2.18 M€.

Cash position

Following the success of the capital increase with preferential subscription rights announced on October 20, 2022, Implanet now has a cash position of €2.8 million. Sanyou has also informed the Company of its irrevocable intention to exercise the warrants it holds for an amount of €2.5 million during the first quarter of 2023. Completely, the payment of the balance of the MADISON business^TM for a total amount of €2.3 million, is spread over time depending on the achievement of regulatory milestones related to CE marking, of which €0.6 million is expected in 2022 and €0.9 million in the first half of 2023. These funds will be allocated to the commercial development of the JAZZ range in China, as well as to the finalization of the new complete range of ORION hybrid fixtures initiated with Sanyou Medical.

With these new financial resources, the Company has also decided to put an end to the issuance of new convertible bonds within the framework of the financing line, ensured by the company Nice Green and signed on January 13, 2021.
