Regulatory News:

THERACLION (Paris:ALTHE) (ISIN: FR0010120402; Mnemo: ALTHE, eligible PEA-SME), an innovative company specializing in the development of medical equipment for treatment by echotherapy including varicose veins, announced today its annual sales for the 2018 financial year.

David Caumartin, Managing Director of Theraclion, says: "In 2018, Theraclion continued to develop its installed base of Echopulse® equipment on its historical pathologies, thyroid nodules and breast fibroadenoma. Seven machines were sold over the year and nearly 800 treatments performed, up 45% compared to 2017. Our echotherapy solution is gradually adopted by specialists. Reinforced by the financing agreement announced today, Theraclion intends to capitalize on this historic know-how to deploy further its technology on the treatment of varicose veins and offer an innovative treatment: non-invasive, without postoperative pain and without anesthesiologist."

• Sales to non-Group customers: + 8%

Theraclion SA achieved a turnover of K€ 1,928 in 2018.

Equipment sales, which account for more than 77% of the business, were impacted by an unfavorable base effect, as 2017 was marked by a significant one-off sale of 5 machines to the Chinese subsidiary. The number of machines sold restated for this exceptional sale remains relatively stable: 7 Echopulse® machines sold in 2018, compared to 6 in 2017.

Recurring revenue, consisting of the sale of consumables and services, doubled in 2018, from 154 K € to 306 K €, in line with the increase in installed capacity. The increase in consumable sales is growing faster than the number of treatments (+ 45% - see below) as processing centers are restocking their inventories. Services revenue growth reflects the signing of system maintenance contracts for system reaching the end of the warranty period.

Equipment rental revenue amounted to K€ 127 at the end of 2018.

External revenue generated by Theraclion SA and its subsidiaries1 rose by 8% to K € 1,932.
