*Totals may not add up due to rounding.

For the first nine months of the year 2022, total revenues amounted to €4,812K, a slight decrease of 5% year-on-year. The national shortage of contrast agent (fluorescein) in the United States had a significant impact on the number of Cellvizio procedures year to date. While this issue seems to be mostly resolved, some high-volume centers may still be running short.

Total sales for Q3 2022 were €1,416K, down 20% from the corresponding period in 2021. Systems sales in Q3, by nature difficult to predict, were significantly lower than in Q3 2021 but the systems sales pipeline is solid for Q4, including a number of deals already closed but not invoiced. Consumables and services sales are up 8% and 17% respectively.

By geography, U.S. sales were up 23% in the first nine months of 2022, with a slight slowdown in the third quarter of 2022 (-1% vs. Q3 2021) due to the U.S. national fluorescein shortage and fewer capital sales. Within the EMEA & ROW region, sales generated in the first nine months are down -14% but are expected to recover in Q4. The Asia-Pacific market continues to be impacted by pandemic-related restrictions, resulting in a -59% decline in sales for the period.
