In France, Amplitude Surgical continued to gain market share with new customers. Sales for the 9 months to the end of March amounted to €49.9 million, an increase of +5.1%, despite a 1.75% average reduction in prices in July 2018.

The Group's international activity continued to grow, +5.3% at constant exchange rates at the end of March, notably driven by its key markets (in particular Brazil and Australia). Over the first 9 months of the Group's financial year, this performance was driven by the buoyant activity of its distributors, up 8.0% at constant exchange rates. The Group's subsidiaries, meanwhile, recorded growth of +4.4% to €19.6 million. The sales generated in the United States saw a sharp increase of +31.5% over the quarter, to $0.8 million, with the launch of Hip & Knee activity in the country.

Amplitude Surgical's direct activity (French market and international subsidiaries) was up 4.9% at constant exchange rates, and accounted for almost 91% of Group sales. The ramp-up of the US subsidiary Amplitude Corp is continuing (+24.1% compared with end-December 2018), with commercial activity that should enable Amplitude Surgical to achieve full-year sales of over $2 million for hip and knee products in the United States.

Novastep, which markets innovative solutions for extremities (foot and ankle) surgery, recorded further sales growth, both in France (+18.4% over the first 9 months of the year) and in the United States (quarterly growth of more than 35%), with international sales accounting for almost 52% of its sales. Novastep's activity accounted for approximately 7.5% of Amplitude Surgical's total sales.
