Notes for Editors

Deltex Medical's technology

Deltex Medical's TrueVue System uses proprietary haemodynamic monitoring
technology to assist clinicians to improve outcomes for patients as well as
increase throughput and capacity for hospitals.

 

Deltex Medical has invested over the long term to build a unique body of
peer-reviewed, published evidence from a substantial number of trials carried
out around the world. These studies demonstrate statistically significant
improvements in clinical outcomes providing benefits both to patients and to
the hospital systems by increasing patient throughput and expanding hospital
capacity.

 

The Group's flagship, world-leading, ultrasound-based oesophageal Doppler
monitoring ("ODM") is supported by 24 randomised control trials conducted on
anaesthetised patients. As a result, the primary application for ODM is
focussed on guiding therapy for patients undergoing elective surgery, although
sedated patients in intensive care are still an important part of our
business. The Group's new, next generation monitor makes the use of the ODM
technology more intuitive and provides augmented data on the status of each
patient.

 

Deltex Medical's engineers and scientists carried out successful research in
conjunction with the UK's National Physical Laboratory ("NPL"), which has
enabled the Group's 'gold standard' ODM technology to be extended and
developed so that it can be used completely non-invasively. This will
significantly expand the application of Deltex Medical's technology to
non-sedated patients. This new technological enhancement, which will be
released on the new next generation monitor, will substantially increase the
addressable market for the Group's haemodynamic monitoring technologies and is
complementary to the long-established ODM evidence base.

 

Deltex Medical's new non-invasive technology has potential applications for
use in a number of healthcare settings, including:

§ Accident & Emergency for the rapid triage of patients, including the
detection and diagnosis of sepsis;

§ in general wards to help facilitate a real-time, data-driven treatment
regime for patients whose condition might deteriorate rapidly; and

§ in critical care units to allow regular monitoring of patients post-surgery
who are no longer sedated or intubated.

 

One of the key opportunities for the Group is positioning this new,
non-invasive technology for use throughout the hospital. Deltex Medical's
haemodynamic monitoring technologies provide clinicians with beat-to-beat
real-time information on a patient's circulating blood volume and heart
function. This information is critical to enable clinicians to optimise both
fluid and drug delivery to patients.

 

Deltex Medical's business model is to drive the recurring revenues associated
with the sale of single-use disposable ODM probes which are used in the
TrueVue System and to complement these revenues with a new incremental revenue
stream to be derived from the Group's new non-invasive technology.

 

Both the existing single-use ODM probe and the new, non-invasive device will
connect to the same, next generation monitor launched in July 2023. Monitors
are sold or, due to hospitals' often protracted procurement times for capital
items, loaned in order to encourage faster adoption of the Group's technology.

 

Deltex Medical's customers

 

The principal users of Deltex Medical's products are currently anaesthetists
working in a hospital's operating theatre and intensivists working in ICUs.
This customer profile will change as the Group's new non-invasive technology
is adopted by the market. In the UK the Group sells directly to the NHS. In
the USA the Group sells directly to a range of hospital systems. The Group
also sells through distributors in more than 40 countries in the European
Union, Asia and the Americas.

 

Deltex Medical's objective

 

To see the adoption of Deltex Medical's next generation TrueVue System,
comprising both minimally invasive and non-invasive technologies, as the
standard of care in haemodynamic monitoring for all patients from new-born to
adult, awake or anaesthetised, across all hospital settings globally.

Chairman's statement

Financial results

 

Revenues for the six months ended 30 June were £1.1 million (2022: £1.2
million). This reflects subdued activity levels in elective surgery across the
UK and the US as well as a combination of delays in the launch of the new
TrueVue monitor and the award of the national tender for haemodynamic
monitoring in Latin America, as originally stated in the Company's
announcement on 6 July 2023.

 

The Group's gross margin decreased to 69% (2022: 74%). This decrease was
linked to excess capacity within production. The Company is pleased to note
that this excess capacity has since been reduced as part of the Company
broader restructuring which completed in September 2023.

 

Adjusted EBITDA, which comprises the operating loss adjusted for depreciation,
amortisation, equity-settled non-executive directors' fees, share-based
payments and certain other items, was a loss of £361,000 (2022: £(418,000)).

 

The Group's overheads have reduced to £1.2 million (2022: £1.5 million).
This is as a result of a decrease in sales and marketing expenditure of
£130,000, due to a reduction in personnel and their associated costs, as well
as an increase in sales activity in relation to the new monitor leading to
higher capitalisation in H1 2023. There was also a decrease in administration
expenses as a result of lower share based payment charges in H1 2023, as well
as a modification gain of £89,000 on the extension of the convertible loan
note.

 

Loss before taxation was £536,000 (2022: £(662,000)).

 

Cash at hand at 30 June 2023 was £0.1 million (2022: £0.6 million).

 

Commercial activities

 

Unexpected delays in releasing the new TrueVue monitor and in the award of a
national tender for haemodynamic monitoring with one of the Group's Latin
American distributors significantly impacted the Group's financial position in
the first half of the year. As a result, on 26 June 2023 the Group's ordinary
shares were suspended from trading on AIM, pending clarification of the
Group's financial position.

 

As announced on 2 August 2023 the Group successfully completed a £1.89
million fundraise and capital reorganisation. Proceeds of the fundraise have
been used to strengthen the balance sheet and implement the Group's cost
cutting and restructuring plan, the objective being to reduce approximately
£1.0 million from the cost base. The restructuring has now been completed and
the cost savings will be fully effective from October 2023.

 

During the period, our business plan had anticipated that the UK and US
healthcare markets would recover, with improved access for our sales and
clinical teams. Whilst access has begun to improve, it is a long way from
pre-Covid 19 access levels. Accordingly, we have concluded that access to
hospitals, especially in the UK, will remain very challenging for the
foreseeable future. We also continue to see disruption in the UK from
shortages in clinical staff, as well as the knock-on effect from industrial
action, which disrupts and delays elective surgery. All of these issues
collectively reduce the opportunity for our sales and clinical teams to meet
face to face with clinicians in a clinical environment. It's for these reasons
that we have, amongst other areas, concentrated on reducing the Company's
direct sales personnel headcount in the UK and US in order to streamline the
business following completion of the fundraise in August 2023.

 

With reduced sales and clinical teams, it's now more important than ever to be
able to promote our technology across digital platforms. In 2022 we
established our on-line training programme, the TrueVue Advanced Learning
Academy (the "Academy"), which provides clinicians with a comprehensive
training programme on haemodynamics, including details on the published
evidence base, and how best to use TrueVue Doppler-based monitoring device.
The Academy provides detailed information on how to manage a patient's
haemodynamic status during surgery as well as while in intensive care. The
Academy is proving to be well received and works as a very good resource to
deliver training remotely.

 

Sales in our international division were suppressed due to delays in the award
of the national tender for haemodynamic monitoring with one of the Group's
Latin American distributors. Originally, the Group's expectation was that this
contract would be announced before the end of the Period. We now understand
that the government released funding for the national tender at the end of
August 2023 and hospitals are now in the process of choosing which equipment
to purchase. We remain confident that this national tender may potentially
result in significantly increased revenues being generated from this region.

 

Product development: new, next generation TrueVue monitor

 

As announced on 10 July 2023, the new next generation TrueVue monitor has been
released in the UK and EU and can now be deployed into UK hospitals for final
marketing evaluations to ensure there are no teething issues, with revenues
forecasted for the Group from new monitor sales to commence in November
2023.

 

The new TrueVue monitor is expected to help drive activity levels in the UK
and EU, with existing customers and distributors upgrading from the existing
device to the new next generation TrueVue monitor.

 

We continue to develop the new non-invasive Doppler-based haemodynamic
monitoring device that is complementary to our existing product range and
which will also run on the new TrueVue platform. Our prototype new
non-invasive Doppler-based haemodynamic monitoring device is anticipated to be
completed in Q4 2023. We believe this new device will form a very important
part of our future growth and long-term strategy. This non-invasive device
will also benefit from the substantial body of published evidence that
demonstrates that the appropriate use of the TrueVue Doppler gives rise to
improved clinical outcomes and reduced patient length-of-stay. Improved
clinical outcomes and reduced patient length-of-stay are going to remain
critically important goals for hospitals in the foreseeable future,
particularly as hospitals face increased governmental pressure to improve
healthcare infrastructure for an ever-growing population.

 

The development work for the non-invasive device is supported by an Innovate
UK Grant and completion of this development cycle is scheduled for the end of
September 2023. A clinical evaluation in a leading UK hospital has now been
approved to commence this year, subject to the non-invasive device gaining the
necessary regulatory approvals. This evaluation process is anticipated to last
six weeks.

 

Current trading and prospects

 

Following completion of the restructuring, the Group is fully focused on
generating positive monthly EBITDA at high gross margins. The Group
anticipates achieving this by the end of the calendar year having
significantly reduced Group headcount and therefore reducing overheads by
approximately £1.0 million.

 

Our international division is well positioned for growth. We are confident
that the Latin American national tender for haemodynamic monitoring will
progress in the Group's favour and that as a result, we will be well
positioned to further increase revenues across the region.

 

The launch of the new next generation TrueVue monitor will significantly
increase the Group's pipeline for capital purchases from existing customers
and distributors, who are anticipated to replace their legacy monitors. It
will also help to underpin existing probe revenues whilst providing the
platform for the development of the new non-invasive Suprasternal device.

 

We look forward to reporting further progress in due course, as the Board is
confident that the strategy and restructuring has positioned the Group for
growth and success.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

 

1.   Reporting Entity

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements ('Interim Financial
Statements') are the consolidated financial statements of Deltex Medical Group
plc, a public company limited by shares registered in England and Wales, and
its subsidiaries ('the Group'). Deltex Medical Group plc is quoted on the AIM
market of the London Stock Exchange.  The address of the registered office is
Deltex Medical Group plc, Terminus Road, Chichester, PO19 8TX, registered
number 03902895. These Interim Financial Statements are as at and for the
period ended 30 June 2023.

 

The Group is principally involved with the manufacture and sale of advanced
haemodynamic monitoring technologies.

 

2.   Basis of accounting

These interim financial statements are for the six months ended 30 June 2023
and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial
Reporting'. They do not include all of the information required for a complete
set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are
included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an
understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and should be
read in conjunction with the Group's last annual consolidated financial
statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2022 (Annual Report &
Accounts 2022).

 

These interim financial statements do not constitute statutory accounts within
the meaning of Section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The summary of results
for the year ended 31 December 2022 is an extract from the published
consolidated financial statements of the Group for that year which have been
reported on by the Group's auditors and delivered to the Registrar of
Companies. The Independent Auditors' Report on the Annual Report &
Accounts for 2022 was unqualified.

 

These interim financial statements have been prepared applying the accounting
policies and presentation that were applied in the preparation of the Group's
published consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December
2022 and are expected to be applied in the preparation of the financial
statements for the year ending 31 December 2023. There are no accounting
pronouncements which have become effective from 1 January 2023 that have a
significant impact on the Group's interim financial statements. The Group has
not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has
been issued but is not yet effective.

The interim financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of
Directors on 15 September 2023.

 

3.   Use of judgements and estimates

In preparing these interim financial statements, management has had to make
judgements and estimates that affect the application of the Group's accounting
policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
Although these estimates are based on the directors' best knowledge of the
amount, event or actions, it should be noted that actual results may differ
from those estimates.

 

The significant judgements and estimates made by the directors in applying the
Group's accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty were the
same as those disclosed in Annual Report & Accounts 2022.

4.   Revenue
The following table provides an analysis of the Group's sales by revenue
stream and markets. This information is regularly provided to the Group's

5.   Segmental analysis

Assessment of performance and the allocation of resources are made on the
basis of results derived from the sale of probes, monitors and other products
analysed by territory, of which revenues and gross margins are regularly
reported to the Group's Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as
the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM also monitors a profit
measure described internally as 'adjusted earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation and amortisation, share-based payments, non-executive directors'
fees, as well as any exceptional items' (Adjusted EBITDA). However, this
measure is reported at a Group level rather than an operating segment which is
based on the nature of the goods provided rather than the geographical market
in which they are sold.

The unaudited operating segment results for the six months ended 30 June 2023
