Financial guidance for 2019

Net sales is expected to show strong growth compared to the previous year and profitability is expected to remain at a strong level. 

Timo Hildén, CEO, on the year 2018:  

“The year 2018 was a year of strong and profitable growth for us. Our net sales increased by 14.4%, totaling EUR 30.7 million. Our operating profit was 33.3 percent, which I consider an excellent achievement for a growth company. Sales increased in all key market areas, which we are very pleased with. In particular, the sales of emerging markets, such as India and China, developed well in line with our expectations. 

During the review period, we invested heavily in product marketing that supports our growth, the launch of new products, and the development of our distributor network. It should be noted that all our current products are less than five years old, which indicates that our product portfolio is up-to-date. During 2018, we also strengthened our organization to support sales growth, especially in the Far East and the United States.

The Icare ic100, launched in 2018, has quickly become our number one product in terms of sales volume. The product has proven to be of very high quality, and the language versions have expanded its user base geographically. 

We launched our new product Icare ic200 in September 2018 in Europe and at the end of the year in Australia and Canada. We will file a sales license application in the U.S. during 2019.

The TonoVET Plus for the measurement of intraocular pressure in animals has been well received by veterinarians around the world.  

Interest in the Icare HOME tonometer device is gradually turning into demand. The cloud-based mHOME mobile app launched during the review period, which connects to the Icare HOME tonometer, facilitates the monitoring of daily fluctuations in intraocular pressure. 

Our growth drivers are the asthma product Ventica and the Cutica hyperspectral camera, developed for the screening and monitoring of skin cancer. Ventica was launched in September; since that time, we have signed distribution agreements in 10 countries. The development of the hyperspectral camera Cutica for skin cancer detection is also progressing as planned. We aim to apply for the European CE marking for the product at the beginning of 2019, after which we will continue with the clinical trials. Oscare Medical’s business did not show any significant signs of picking up during the review period. We will continue to monitor the situation and assess the options in this regard.  

During the review period, our probe sales nearly reached 18.5 million probes sold. We have concentrated the production of probes in Finland, where we opened the fourth production line at the end of 2018. Our flexible and scalable production model allows us to react rapidly to growth in demand.

We have updated our strategy with the goal of further strengthening our global position through strong growth. We want to strengthen our foothold in the growing market in Asia. We see significant new growth potential in China and India in particular. Our growth objectives are supported by global megatrends in health care, such as population growth and ageing. The importance of preventive health care is increasing throughout the world. 

While strengthening our position in the market with existing products, our product development includes screening-related product concepts for new markets and target groups, which we are developing further to ensure organic growth.

Although uncertainty in the global economy has increased, we have entered the year 2019 with positive expectations and confidence: we have a strong market position, high-quality products, a strong brand, and high customer satisfaction. I believe that these factors lay the foundation for good long-term growth prospects.”
