LYON, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
SMAIO (Software, Machines and Adaptative Implants in Orthopaedics - Euronext Growth Paris ISIN: FR0014005I80 / Ticker: ALSMA) (Paris:ALSMA), a French player specialized in complex spine surgery with a global offer comprising software, adaptative implants and related services, today published its annual sales for the year to December 31, 2023.
Philippe ROUSSOULY, Chairman and CEO of SMAIO, said: "In 2023, we achieved several key milestones that enabled us to deliver operational performance and initiate our commercial expansion in the United States. Obtaining FDA 510(k) clearance for the customized version of our surgical planning software was an important first milestone, leading to a $3 million payment from our U.S. partner, NuVasive. Besides, we continued our efforts to train surgeons in the United States on our technologies and philosophy, in order to spread our offering in the world's leading spine market. Through our U.S. subsidiary SMAIO USA, we performed 27 surgeries in 2023, of which 24 in the fourth quarter alone with our Kheiron and K-rods implants and customized planning solutions. We intend to build on this momentum, by increasing the number of U.S. hospitals in which our solutions will be registered in 2024, and by intensifying our training initiatives on our technologies for surgeons practicing in these hospitals or expressing significant interest in our offerings."

* Unaudited data
In 2023, SMAIO SA's sales amounted to €7.6 million, up +212% compared to 2022. When excluding intra-group sales of implants between SMAIO SA and its U.S. subsidiary SMAIO USA, and considering only the hospital implant sales conducted by the latter, SMAIO Group's sales came to €5.4 million1, reflecting a +120% growth compared with 2022.
Excluding the NuVasive milestone payment, SMAIO Group's sales primarily consisted of sales of the Kheiron system, comprising customized implants and rods, amounting to €2.5 million over 2023. The latter were particularly strong in the last quarter of the year (+40% vs. Q4 2022), due to implants in the U.S. market following the gradual registration of 4 new centers initiated during H2 2023. As a result, 27 surgeries were performed in the United States in the 2nd half of 2023, including 24 in the last quarter, demonstrating the strong momentum of Kheiron system adoption by North American surgeons.
In addition to sustaining the performance achieved in the fourth quarter of 2023 over a full year in 2024, SMAIO expects to complete several registrations, currently underway, in other hospitals where surgeons who participated in the training programs organized in Dallas (November 2022) or San Diego (November 2023) are practicing, which should accelerate the Company's sales growth in the United States in 2024.
