BORDEAUX, France & BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Regulatory News:

IMPLANET (Euronext Growth: ALIMP, FR0013470168, eligible for PEA-PME equity savings plans), a medical technology company specialized in vertebral implants, today announced its 2021 fourth-quarter revenue, annul revenue and cash position at December 31, 2021.

Ludovic Lastennet, IMPLANET’s CEO, said: “The strategic shift undertaken at the end of 2020 enabled us to achieve, in under six months in 2021, the acquisition of OSD, strengthening our Spine business, and the divestment of our MADISON^TM Knee activity to SERF (MENIX group), confirming our refocus on the JAZZ® and OSD ranges. The benefits of these two operations are already visible, our revenue increasing by 58% excluding MADISON^TM activity. Our Spine business saw strong growth over the year, both in France and abroad, despite the still substantial impact of the pandemic on the scheduling of surgical operations. In 2022, we intend to continue the commercial development of our ranges and to intensify our growth on our traditional segment while capitalizing on the recent partnerships we have signed, the goal being to make Implanet a key player in the treatment of spinal pathologies”.

*Unaudited data

In the fourth quarter of 2021, Implanet recorded very solid growth in its Spine business (+65%), notably thanks to the strategic acquisition of OSD. Activity in France tripled to €0.9 million in Q4, while activity in the Rest of the World also almost tripled, reaching €0.7 million. In the United States, activity continued to be heavily impacted by Covid-19.

Over 2021 as a whole, consolidated revenue, restated for MADISON^TM activity in accordance with IFRS 5, totaled €6.1 million, an increase of +58% compared with the previous year. Excluding this restatement of MADISON^TM activity, revenue was €7.7 million, and was thus up 29% compared with 2020.

Spine activity recorded very strong growth of 62%, with revenue totaling €6.1 million in 2021. OSD’s contribution to revenue (between May 19 and December 31, 2021) corresponded to €2.0 million. Hence, despite the still substantial impact of COVID-19 in 2021, the Spine business generated organic growth of 7%.

In France, Spine activity more than doubled to €2.7 million. The Rest of the World represented €2.0 million, giving very buoyant growth of 168% compared with 2020. Lastly, the United States saw revenue decline by 20% to €1.4 million. This decrease was primarily due to surgical operations being postponed and SeaSpine’s orders being pushed back.

Cash position

At December 31, 2021, Implanet had a cash position of €1.9 million. At the same time, the payment of the remaining balance of the divestment price of the MADISON^TM knee business, i.e. €2.3 million, will be spread over time depending on the achievement of regulatory milestones related to the CE marking, with €0.6 million of this balance expected to be received in 2022. Lastly, in January 2021 the Company signed a convertible bond program with Nice & Green for a total of €5.0 million. At December 31, €2.1 million is still available and remains to be subscribed to by Nice & Green.

Key 2021 highlights

• Acquisition of Orthopaedic & Spine Development (“OSD”), which specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing implants for spine surgery

• Signing of a distribution contract in Germany with ulrich GmbH & Co. KG for Implanet’s JAZZ^® implants and the OSD cervical plate

• Signing of an exclusive agreement with GLOBUS MEDICAL for the distribution of its REFLECT® scoliosis correction system to 15 French university centers specialized in pediatric spine surgery

• Divestment of the MADISON^TM knee prosthesis range to the MENIX Group’s SERF company
