Financial guidance for 2022

Revenio Group's exchange rate-adjusted net sales are estimated to grow strongly from the previous year and profitability, excluding non-recurring items, is estimated to remain at a good level.

President and CEO Jouni Toijala comments on the first half year of 2022:

"Despite the global uncertainty, the first half of 2022 was very strong for us. Sales grew by double digits in all our key markets, resulting in 25.1% growth in net sales and 40.2 % in operating profit. Exchange rates supported our favorable development throughout the first half of the year. Our January-June revenue growth adjusted for exchange rate effects reached 17.6%.

We have achieved continued growth from one quarter to the next - while increasing our market share - in both intraocular pressure measurement devices and retinal imaging devices. The development of the sales of intraocular pressure measurement devices was very strong especially in the United States, key European countries, and Latin America. In the retinal imaging devices segment, demand was particularly strong for the iCare DRSplus and iCare Eidon UWFL. The resumption of conferences, which are the most important sales events in our industry, has boosted the demand for our products. We believe that the growth in our market share is driven by our long-term efforts with product portfolio, customer experience, and delivery capability.

As part of iCare Solutions, we launched iCare ILLUME, an AI-assisted software solution for the screening of diabetic retinopathy. The prevalence of diabetes is increasing at a high rate globally, and the world needs innovative solutions for increasing screening coverage. At the same time, the solution allows ophthalmologists to focus on patients with actual risk factors for eye diseases. The iCare ILLUME solution combines images taken with the iCare DRSplus fundus imaging system with AI technology. iCare ILLUME instantly detects signs of vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy with the help of AI. Images taken with the iCare DRSplus fundus imaging system are automatically transferred to the iCare ILLUME screening solution hosted on a cloud service, and the report is instantly available. This allows the utilization of the high-quality images generated by the iCare DRSplus fundus imaging system even more extensively to support clinical decision-making. In the future, the iCare ILLUME solution can be used for the screening of other eye diseases as well.

Based on the current outlook, it is likely that the uncertainties related to the slowdown in economic development and the geopolitical environment will continue towards the end of the year. The direct impacts of the war in Ukraine on our business operations have been limited. We stopped all business in

Russia and Belarus in the first quarter. The global challenges associated with the availability of electronic components continued throughout the first half of the year, which has not so far had an impact on our delivery capability. We estimate that the availability challenges will continue at least for the rest of the year, which we have aimed to prepare for with proactive measures. We increased our prices at the beginning of May as a response to the increasing costs.

I am proud of the commitment and performance of our global team in the challenging general market situation. We will continue to focus on building growth and strengthening our position in eye care solutions. As we enter the second half of the year, we are keeping a close eye on the global economy and the geopolitical environment."

The effects of the war in Ukraine on Revenio

The security situation in Europe has changed drastically since Russia invasion of Ukraine. Revenio stopped all its business in Russia and Belarus in the first quarter of the year. Revenio's sales in Russia have been limited prior to the war, accounting for less than two per cent of net sales.

Strategy

The cornerstones of Revenio's strategy are:

  1. Focus fully on the eye care market
  2. Improve the quality of clinical diagnostics with targeted product innovations
  3. Transform clinical care pathways with eye care focused software solutions
  4. Continue to develop stronger distribution and build on iCare brand awareness and client experience
  5. Continue strong profitable growth
