The COVID-19 pandemic
In Q3, the Company saw a strong recovery in sales as restrictions were eased primarily in Europe and more normal scheduling of neurosurgical procedures was noted during the period. Procedure volumes with OssDsign products grew significantly, returning back to pre-Covid 19 levels of Q1 resulting in an overall sales growth of 34% vs Q3 2019.
OssDsign is continuously monitoring the impact of Covid-19 on short- and medium-term basis. Many parts of the world currently see an increase in the number of Covid-19 cases with re-imposed restrictive measures and postponed elective surgeries. With a development of the pandemic that is difficult to predict there is a higher level of uncertainty in the company’s outlook. The underlying demand for OssDsign products in the long-term, however, remains intact, as evidenced during the third quarter. OssDsign further believes that collective learnings and experiences from the initial phase of the pandemic has resulted in better prepared healthcare systems and therefore fewer negative effects.
The results for the third quarter 2020 will also be presented at an investor webcast today November 11th at 13:00 CET. The webcast can be accessed via the following link https://www.finwire.tv/webcast/ossdsign/q3/ or via the OssDsign website.
