Bordeaux, Boston, October 8, 2024 – 6:00 pm CEST: IMPLANET (Euronext Growth: ALIMP, FR0013470168, eligible for PEA-PME equity savings plans), a medical technology company specializing in implants for orthopedic surgery and the distribution of technological medical equipment, today announces its third-quarter 2024 revenue, ending on September 30, 2024, along with its revenue for the first nine months of 2024.

Ludovic Lastennet, IMPLANET’s Chief Executive Officer, stated: “We are pleased to report strong quarterly revenue growth compared to 2023. The effects of the reorganization of our US subsidiary are beginning to materialize, confirming the clinical value of our products as well as the capability of our local team to address this strategic market. In addition, our distribution business for medical equipment, particularly with the partnership signed with elliquence, is proving to be a genuine growth driver for the company. We think we are therefore well-positioned to continue this growth phase both in France and internationally. With the support of our reference shareholder and partner Sanyou Medical, we intend to deploy our strategy to its full potential, gradually positioning IMPLANET as a key player in spine surgery.”

The spine business recorded revenue of €1.52 million in Q3 2024, stable compared to Q3 2023.

France’s revenue continued to grow by 7%, with revenue of €0.78 million for the quarter compared to €0.72 million during the same period in 2023.

Finally, revenue from the distribution of medical equipment in Q3 2024 reached €0.79 million, compared to €0.73 million in the same period last year, driven by the ongoing deployment of ultrasonic scalpels (Olea) in France and abroad, as well as the first €0.5 million order in the US under the exclusive partnership signed with elliquence in the endoscopic spine surgery market.

Overall, total revenue for Q3 2024 amounted to €2.31 million, compared to €1.54 million in Q3 2023, representing an increase of 50%.
