EDAP TMS is known for its strong patent portfolio thanks to continuous investment in research and development. The company collaborates with globally acclaimed medical research institutions to push the boundaries of medical technology. Financially, EDAP TMS reported a gross profit of EUR 24.4 million (USD 26.4 million) for the year ending December 31, 2023, reflecting a slight increase from the previous year. However, the gross profit margin declined due to inflationary pressures and investments in U.S. operations to support long-term revenue growth.
Recent achievements include the launch of the Focal One and strategic partnerships to expand its product reach. The company’s commitment to innovation and patient care makes it a significant player in the medical device industry.
EDAP reported robust growth in Q1 2024 with a significant 92% increase in U.S. Focal One® HIFU procedures year-over-year. HIFU revenue rose 10.2% to EUR 5.8 million ($6.3 million), contributing to a total revenue of EUR 14.9 million ($16.1 million), up 0.8% from Q1 2023. Gross profit increased to EUR 6.4 million ($6.9 million), driven by higher treatment revenues. Operating expenses dropped to EUR 11.2 million ($12.1 million) due to a non-recurring compensation expense in Q1 2023. Despite an operating loss of EUR 4.8 million ($5.2 million), net loss improved to EUR 4.5 million ($4.9 million) from EUR 7.5 million ($8.1 million) in Q1 2023. Additionally, EDAP's Phase 3 study on endometriosis is expected to yield results in the latter half of 2024.
