Financial guidance for 2018

Net sales growth is expected to remain strong. Profitability is expected to remain at a healthy level despite relatively increasing growth investments.

CEO Timo Hildén comments on the first quarter of 2018:

"Year 2018 started very strongly and we achieved the best first-quarter growth in our history, even though the exchange rate of the dollar decreased net sales by about 8 percentage points. Our net sales increased to EUR 7.0 (6.0) million, year-on-year growth of 15.9%. When assessing our performance so far in 2018, it is noteworthy that there were some large individual deliveries in the first quarter, the kind we are not expecting to get later in the year.

Excellent sales growth was seen in the United States, as well as in the Nordic countries, UK, Canada, South-Korea and Russia.

Device sales were strong, thanks in part to the 2017 launch of the Tonovet Plus tonometer, designed for the measurement of intraocular pressure in animals, and sales of the Icare HOME tonometer. In addition, our cloud-based mHOME mobile application has attracted plenty of interest in the countries where it already has been launched.

We have stepped up marketing of the Icare HOME tonometer in all key markets. We have also started selling the product directly to patients in selected markets.

Towards the end of the year, we will launch the new ic200 tonometer for professional use, replacing the earlier model Icare PRO. Intended in particular for use by eye surgeons, we are applying for CE marking during the spring and will later seek FDA approval in order to begin sales.

Growth continued in probe sales, as before, thanks to the active use of the installed devices.

We have strengthened our export organization with two new regional managers, covering the Middle East, Africa and South America. In addition, we have hired a marketing manager for the US sales organization, who will primarily focus on promoting sales of the Icare HOME tonometer. We believe that these measures will generate additional sales during the current year.

Our hyperspectral camera for skin cancer detection has been named Cutica®. Development of the product is proceeding according to plan. We seek to complete the commercial model by the end of the year, after which we will apply for CE marking to start up sales work.

Further research on the asthma product Ventica® has produced valuable information. We seek to update the product algorithm and begin sales efforts during the current year."
