HIGHLIGHTS

Financial

§ Group returns to growth with revenues up 8% to £1.2 million (H1 2021:
£1.1 million)

§ International division revenues up 39% to £555,000 (H1 2021: £399,000)

§ Gross margin increased to 74% (H1 2021: 64%) as a result of improved
manufacturing efficiencies and the positive effect of weak sterling on US
dollar-denominated revenues

§ Adjusted EBITDA loss of £418,000 (H1 2021: loss of £242,000; the 2021
figure included receipt of £193,000 in furlough payments)

§ Operating loss of £0.6 million (H1 2021: £0.5 million) reflecting
increased commitment towards international sales and marketing spend

§ Cash at hand on 30 June 2022 of £0.6 million (H1 2021: £0.6 million)

Commercial

§ Strong performance from the International division, with further growth
expected

§ Commercial activities in the UK and the USA modified, via a number of new
initiatives, to target growth assuming that restricted access within hospitals
is now the 'new normal'

§ Since the start of H2, we have received two orders in the USA for monitors
from new accounts: one from a healthcare system covering multiple hospitals
and the second from a large university hospital; both of these accounts had
been close to ordering before the pandemic, but have now decided to proceed
with the TrueVue Doppler technology

§ Good progress made towards completing the new, next generation monitor,
despite ongoing supply chain challenges. The launch of the monitor is expected
later this year and we expect strong demand from distributors in relation to
replacing legacy monitors

 

Nigel Keen, Chairman of Deltex Medical, said:

"I am delighted that the Group has returned to growth after suffering severe
disruption to its business as a result of the pandemic."

"Our International division is performing strongly, with further growth
anticipated. In addition, there are preliminary but encouraging signs that US
hospitals are beginning to start to order our monitors after long delays due
to Covid-19."

"Our technical teams continue to make good progress with our new, next
generation monitor. The hardware is largely complete; we are now finalising
the software and regulatory compliance. This new product is expected to help
increase activity levels in all territories."

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.

During 2021, 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, an important capability for patients
presenting with COVID-19 symptoms;

§ 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 which is due for launch in 2022.
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 more than 30 major hospitals that
appreciate the value of Deltex Medical's evidence-based approach to
haemodynamic management. 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

During the Period, the Group returned to growth for the first time since the
pandemic. Our business, which is largely focussed on generating sales into
operating theatres carrying out elective surgery, was significantly adversely
affected by the pandemic.

Revenues for the six months ended 30 June increased by 8% to £1.2 million
(2021: £1.1 million). This increase reflects a strong performance from our
International division (which excludes the USA), with revenues increasing by
39% to £555,000 (2021: £399,000).

The Group's gross margin increased significantly to 74% (2021: 64%). This
increase was linked to substantially improved manufacturing efficiencies, as
our manufacturing team returned to work full time, as well as a positive
effect on profitability associated with the weakness of sterling and a high
proportion of US dollar-denominated revenues.

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 £(418,000) (2021:
£(242,000)). A substantial proportion of the year-on-year difference relates
to furlough payments received in H1 2021 which totalled £193,000.

The slight increase in overheads to £1.5 million (2021: £1.4 million) is
principally linked to an increase in sales and marketing expenditure focussed
on our International division, as travel routes re-opened and once again we
were able to provide direct support from the UK to our overseas distributors.

Loss before taxation was £662,000 (2021: £(531,000)).

Cash at hand on 30 June 2021 was £0.6 million (2020: £0.6 million).

Commercial activities

In 2022 our business plans had initially anticipated that the UK and US
markets would start to open up rapidly, as Covid-related restrictions were
withdrawn in hospitals. This would have given rise to improved access for our
sales teams and clinical educators to the key decision makers within
hospitals. Whilst such access restrictions have begun to ease, they are still
a long way from the access levels enjoyed by our experts pre-Covid. In some
hospital systems we are also seeing shortages in clinical staff which is
causing delays in elective surgery as well as a lack of availability of
clinicians to meet with our sales teams.

There continues to be a substantial backlog in elective surgical procedures
around the world as a direct consequence of the pandemic. We were expecting to
see increased demand for Deltex Medical's haemodynamic monitoring technologies
to help reduce this backlog, due to the evidence base which demonstrates that
TrueVue Doppler's technology is linked to reduced patient length-of-stay and
improved clinical outcomes. Whilst we have seen such demand emerging in our
International division, and more recently in the US, we have not yet seen this
increase in the UK.

Given these access challenges in our two key direct markets (the UK and US),
earlier this year we decided to modify our commercial plans on the basis that
restricted access to sales teams, and other third parties, has effectively
become the "new normal" in many UK and US hospitals. Accordingly, we have been
working on a number of new initiatives to help drive revenue, notwithstanding
the restricted access to operating theatres carrying out elective surgery in
UK and US hospitals. Such initiatives include:

§ establishing an on-line training programme - the TrueVue Advanced Learning
Academy (the "Academy") - that provides clinicians with a comprehensive
training programme on haemodynamics, including details on the published
evidence base, and how best to use TrueVue Doppler. The Academy provides
detailed information on how to manage a patient's haemodynamic status during
surgery, as well as if deployed in an intensive care unit ("ICU"), based on
data derived from peer-reviewed papers. Longer term we plan to expand this
on-line training programme further to include Continuing Professional
Development (CPD) qualifying points; and

§ starting to promote and sell the TrueVue Doppler into high-value veterinary
applications, working with a number of 'Key Opinion Leader' veterinary
centres. Although this is not expected to be a large addressable market, there
are preliminary indicators that veterinarians are increasingly interested in
monitoring the haemodynamic status of small and exotic animals which we
believe will become a profitable niche. We have started to see traction in the
UK, US and in parts of Europe, including establishing our first dedicated
veterinary distributor.

Although it is too early to pronounce that these, and various other
earlier-stage, initiatives have been successful, there are some encouraging
preliminary signs. Further, the launch of the new, next generation monitor is
planned for later this year. We anticipate that its launch will generate
significant activity levels, including from our overseas distributors where we
are expecting strong order demand in relation to replacing legacy monitors.

These initiatives have been specifically designed to help support our existing
user-base and develop new customers whilst our traditional methods of selling
into hospitals in the UK and USA are severely constrained.

Our modified plans also anticipate that the NHS is going to continue to face a
number of major challenges in the short to medium term and we therefore
reduced our UK sales resources in the first half.

Our International division enjoyed strong sales growth of 39% in the first
half of the year. This growth stemmed primarily from territories that enjoyed
unrestricted access to operating theatre staff and anaesthetists during the
pandemic. In many cases our experts were also able to assist the in-country
distributors with appropriate training. Being able to access these
territories, in conjunction with the distributors, during the past two years
has ensured that we have created a pipeline of orders that are now being
converted into revenues.

We are expecting our International division to continue to perform robustly in
the second half of 2022. We are also working on a small number of substantial
orders, including the potential expansion of an order from a distributor in
Latin America that was previously announced on 26 January, 2022.

Product development: new, next generation monitor

Our technical teams have been working hard to finish the new, next generation
monitor which is important to our future growth. This new device is needed to
help drive activity levels for our minimally invasive technology and our new,
novel non-invasive Doppler-based single-use probe sales.

We have continued to experience difficulties with extended and/or
unpredictable supply chains, including obsolescence of components as well as
long lead times and inflationary price increases. We have partially mitigated
these challenges by buying key components early.

The hardware engineering for the new monitor is substantially complete and we
are now focusing on finalising the software as well as working on a number of
regulatory compliance points.

We have also been developing the new non-invasive Doppler-based haemodynamic
monitoring device that is complementary to our existing product range which we
believe will form an 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 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 for hospitals in the foreseeable
future.

Current trading and prospects

The Group has returned to growth and the gross margin has returned to levels
that we were achieving before the Covid pandemic.

Weak sterling is also helping our gross margin to increase and we believe that
this phenomenon is likely to continue in the short to medium term.

Our International division is growing strongly, in large part due to a more
benign environment in terms of unrestricted access to hospitals, and we
believe that there is further growth to come.

Before the pandemic started, we had built up a stock of monitors in
anticipation of receipt of orders from a number of hospitals around the world
that we had been working with for some time. Since the beginning of the second
half of the year, we have begun to see encouraging, albeit preliminary, signs
of demand recovering in the USA for Deltex Medical's TrueVue Doppler
technology, including orders from US hospital systems that had previously been
put on hold when Covid-19 started. As we ship the monitors to fulfil these US
orders, we are not only benefiting from converting inventory into cash, but
are also converting US dollars into sterling at an advantageous foreign
exchange rate.

The launch of the new monitor is an important element of the future plans of
the Group. Good progress was made in the first half of 2022 and we are
planning on launching the new monitor later this year. We anticipate that its
launch will generate significant activity levels, including from our overseas
distributors where we are expecting strong order demand in relation to
replacing legacy monitors.

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 AIM 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 2022.

 

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 2022
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 2021 (Annual Report &
Accounts 2021).

 

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 2021 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 2021 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
2021 and are expected to be applied in the preparation of the financial
statements for the year ending 31 December 2022. There are no accounting
pronouncements which have become effective from 1 January 2022 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 20 September 2022.

 

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 2021.

4.   Revenue
The following table provides an analysis of the Group's sales by revenue

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 2022
are:

ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares issued
during the year.

of £666,000 and the weighted average number of shares in issue of
672,175,129.

For the six months to 30 June 2021, the loss per share calculation is based on
the loss of £525,000 and the weighted average number of shares in issue of

For the year ended 31 December 2021, the loss per share calculation is based
on the loss of £967,000 and the weighted average number of shares in issue of
