Issoire (France), April 8th, 2021, at 8:00 am CEST - BIOCORP (FR0012788065 - ALCOR / Eligible PEA PME), a French company specialized in the design, development and manufacturing of innovative medical devices, today announces its annual results for the year ended on December 31, 2020, as approved by the Board of directors on April 6th.

"2020 was an extraordinary year in the purest sense of the word. The crisis related to COVID has caused the Company to fear that its projects may slow down. Fortunately, although they were delayed for a few months, its development contracts were not called into question. Similarly, there have been no delays or cancellations in the manufacture and marketing of our medical devices. In the end, and thanks to the strong mobilization of all BIOCORP teams, our production activity will have been stopped only 3.5 days over the whole year 2020. Thus, on the industrial level, BIOCORP signed́last year a host of technological and commercial partnerships allowing Mallya, a true showcase of our expertise, to prepare under the best conditions for its commercialization wherever diabetes goes to register a strong progression. More than ever, BIOCORP is the ideal partner for pharmaceutical companies looking for breakthrough innovations for the benefit of patients. Finally, on the financial front, strict adherence to our objectives and growth strategy has enabled the Company to welcome new European shareholders. The capital increase completed at the end of 2020 with qualified investors provides BIOCORP with strengthened means to meet its major ambitions in the field of digital health" said́Éric Dessertenne, CEO of BIOCORP.
