CEO comments

Very strong growth continued

Optomed's revenue continued to grow very strongly during the second quarter. The
Devices segment revenue increased by 124% especially driven by favourable
performance in China. Also, other key markets of the Devices segment grew well.
The comparison period was weak due to the Covid-19 pandemic.The Software segment
revenue also grew very strongly by 21% during the quarter. Overall, the Group's
revenue increased by 55%. The megatrends favorable for the company, such as the
increase in the total number of eye screenings and their increased prevalence
also in primary health care, as well as the increase in telemedicine services,
have remained unchanged.

Revenue increased during the review period in almost all our sales channels,
although the Covid-19 pandemic continues to negatively impact our traditional
distribution channels in several countries. During  the quarter, we saw
significant growth in both Optomed's own-branded products as well as our OEM
orders. Our international eye screening solution projects also progressed
favorably in both Asia and the Middle East.

During the first quarter of the year, we started collaborating with a new
strategic distribution partner in China. This new partner, China National
Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. (Sinopharm), is one of the world’s leading
healthcare companies. In addition to Optomed’s cameras, Sinopharm is also a
reseller for Optomed's long-term strategic customer, Phoebus Medical Technology
Co., Ltd. (Phoebus) for their telemedicine services in China. Optomed sells
cameras to Phoebus to be used as part of a complete solution that includes
Optomed handheld cameras and Phoebus’ telemedicine software and services.
Sinopharm acts as a distribution channel for this complete solution. The
agreement is an exclusive, China-wide distribution agreement. Through this
cooperation, our goal is to significantly increase the coverage of our
distribution in China and thereby grow our business. We delivered a significant
number of new devices to these partners during the quarter, and the current
focus is on training their sales and marketing staff. Initiating such a
collaboration with a large healthcare company is often time consuming, and we
expect this start-up phase to take approximately 12 to 18 months and incur
reasonable non-recurring costs for Optomed throughout this period. The long-term
potential and business growth can realistically be assessed at the end of the
start-up phase. Due to the same reason, it is still hard to estimate what our
second half of 2021 will look like.

In the United States, we have continued to sell our products through our own
direct sales organization and focused on establishing a distribution network as
planned. The demand for our products remained strong and revenue continued to
grow in line with our expectations.

During the quarter we launched a disposable eye cup for our handheld cameras, as
well as two traditional desktop cameras to complement our screening solutions
portfolio. All of these products are expected to increase Optomed’s long-term
growth and improve profitability, but we are not expecting these launches to
have a significant impact yet in 2021.

Optomed has continued the significant investments we started during the first
quarter in expanding our sales channels, focusing on clinical research, and
developing and launching new products. These investments are reflected in higher
expenses in the current and coming quarters. Our most significant strategic
development projects are the ongoing clinical trials to gain FDA clearance for
artificial intelligence solutions for diabetic retinopathy screening in the US
market, the validation and commercialization of other new artificial
intelligence algorithms in Europe and other key markets, and development and
subsequent market launches of new eye diagnostics devices in the coming years.

We are pleased with the progress we have made during the second quarter.

Seppo Kopsala

CEO

Outlook 2021



Optomed expects its full year 2021 revenue to grow strongly compared to 2020.

Group performance

April – June 2021

In April-June 2021, Group revenue increased by 54.5 percent to EUR 4,012 (2,957)
thousand. The main driver for revenue growth against the weak Covid-19 affected
comparison period of 2020 was the Devices segment’s solid performance in China,
but also other markets of the Devices segment showed good progress. The Devices
segment’s revenue increased by 123.5 percent. The Software segment’s strong
performance continued, and revenue increased by 21.0 percent mainly driven by
stable recurring business from existing customers. Global screening solution
projects continued well in Asia and the Middle-East. The clinical trials with
the aim to the FDA approval for Aurora AEYE, a handheld camera with autonomous
AI for retinal screening, are progressing as planned. During the quarter, we
also launched two third-party desktop fundus cameras as a part of our screening
solutions portfolio. Customers often demand both products, the more traditional
desktop cameras and handheld cameras. As Optomed does not have its own desktop
cameras, the company has complemented its product portfolio by acquiring desktop
cameras with a private label agreement. The cameras are competitive and of high
quality, and they integrate with Optomed's software and artificial intelligence
solutions. Offering also these complementary products is expected to increase
the demand and number of users of Optomed's complete screening solutions, but
they are not expected to have a significant impact on revenue or earnings in the
short term.

The gross margin increased to 82.9 from 73.4 percent of last year. The gross
margin was positively affect by a waived loan of EUR 538 thousand from Business
Finland related to a terminated product development project for the Devices
segment. The waived loan has been booked as grants. The Company received grants
and other operating income EUR 624 (87) thousand, which increased the gross
margin of both periods. The gross margin for the second quarter of 2021 adjusted
for grants and other operating income would have been 67.3 percent compared to
70.0 percent in 2020.

EBITDA amounted to EUR 177 (-325) thousand. The main reason for the improved
EBITDA is the EUR 538 thousand waived loan. The higher gross profit in the
second quarter 2021 compared to 2020 was offset by higher operating expenses as
2020 was strongly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the related cost savings
actions taken by the Company.   EBIT was EUR -859 (-973) thousand. EBIT was
affected by the amortization of the terminated product development program
amounting to EUR 482 thousand.

Net financial items amounted to EUR -25 (-22) thousand and consisted mainly of
interest payments to financial institutions and the translation effect of
Chinese RMB and USD to EUR.

January – June 2021

In January-June 2021, Group revenue increased by 41.3 percent to EUR 7,956
(5,631) thousand, driven mainly by the same reasons as for the second quarter.
The Devices segment’s revenue increased by 83.4 percent and the Software
segment’s revenue increased by 21.1 percent.

The gross margin increased to 74.2 percent from 69.0 percent last year. The
Company’s other operating income includes governmental grants of EUR 624 (87)
thousand in the first half of 2021 and 2020, which increased the gross margin of
both periods. The gross margin for the first half of 2021 adjusted for the total
amount of the grants  and  other operating income would have been 65.3 percent
compared to 67.4 percent in 2020.

EBITDA amounted to EUR -138 (-900) thousandand EBIT was EUR -1,710 (-2,034)
thousand.

Net financial items amounted to EUR 191 (-231) thousand and consisted mainly of
interest payments to financial institutions and the translation effect of
Chinese RMB to EUR. The positive variance versus 2020 are related to exchange
rate profit mainly in the first quarter of the year.

Cash flow and financial position



In April-June 2021, the cash flow from operating activities amounted to EUR
-1,403 (107) thousand. Net cash used in investing activities was EUR -489 (-411)
thousand and relates to capitalized development expenses. Net cash from
financing activities amounted to EUR -6 (-92).

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to EUR
7,818 (11,742) thousand. Interest-bearing net debt totalled EUR -2,042 (-5,165)
thousand at the end of the period.

Net working capital was EUR 4,804 (3,218) thousand at the end of the period.
This increase in working capital is due to higher product delivery volumes and
increased trade receivables, especially in China.

Devices segment



Optomed has two synergistic business segments: Devices and Software.

The Devices segment develops, commercializes and manufactures easy-to-use, and
affordable handheld fundus cameras, that are suitable for any clinic for
screening of various eye diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and
AMD (Age Related Macular Degeneration).

April-June 2021

In April-June 2021, the Devices segment revenue increased by 123.5 percent to
EUR 1,896 (848) thousand  against a weak COVID-19 affected second quarter of
last year. The increase was mainly driven by solid performance in China, but
also other key markets and sales channels showed good progress.

The gross margin increased to 95.5 percent from 64.1 percent in the previous
year due to the waived loan mentioned earlier. The Devices Segment’s other
operating income was  EUR 623 (71) thousand in the second quarter, which
increased the gross margin of both periods. In the second quarter of 2021 the
gross margin adjusted for grants and the total amount of other operating income
would have been 62.6 percent compared to 55.7 percent in 2020.

EBITDA was EUR 593 (-121) thousand or 31.3 (-14.2) percent of revenue. The key
driver for the increase in EBITDA was the increase in revenue and gross margin,
and higher operating expenses while the comparison period last year was affected
by the COVID-19 related savings.

January-June 2021

In January-June 2021, the Devices segment revenue increased by 83.4 percent to
EUR 3,343 (1,822) thousand, mainly driven by the same reasons as for the second
quarter.

The gross margin increased to 79.4 percent from 51.6 percent in the previous
year. The Company received governmental grants of EUR 704 (71) thousand in. In
2021, the first half year gross margin adjusted for other operating income would
have been 58.3 percent compared to 47.6 percent in 2020. The first quarter of
2020 was affected by sourcing arrangements and purchases of certain key
components, which were carried out to secure our manufacturing capability in the
current COVID-19 situation.

EBITDA was EUR 362 (-542) thousand or 10.8 (-29.7) percent of revenue. The
reason for the increase in EBITDA was mainly the same as for the second quarter.

Selected notes

Corporate information and basis of
accounting

Corporate information

Optomed is a Finnish medical technology group (hereafter ‘Optomed’ or ‘Group’)
that specialises in handheld fundus cameras and solutions for screening of
blinding eye diseases, established in 2004.

The Group’s parent company, Optomed Plc. (hereafter the ‘company’) is a Finnish
public limited liability company established under the laws of Finland, and its
business ID is 1936446-1. It is domiciled in Oulu, Finland and the Company’s
registered address is Yrttipellontie 1, 90230 Oulu, Finland.

Basis of
accounting


Optomed’s consolidated financial statements 31.12.2020 has been prepared in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by
the European Union. The preparation of this interim report also takes into
account the amendments to IFRS standards that have become effective by January
1, 2021. All presented figures have been rounded. Financial ratios have been
calculated using exact figures.

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34
Interim Financial Reporting, and should be read in conjunction with Group`s last
annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31
December 2020. This Interim financial statements do not include all of the
information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements: 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 performance since the last annual financial statements.

IFRS IC finalized in April 2021 its agenda decision Configuration or
Customisation Costs in a Cloud Computing Arrangement (IAS 38 Intangible Assets).
In this agenda decision IFRS IC considered, whether, applying IAS 38, the
customer recognises an intangible asset in relation to configuration or
customisation of the application software, and if an intangible asset is not
recognized,  how the customer accounts for the configuration or customisation
costs.  IFRIC agenda decisions have no effective date, so they are expected to
be applied as soon as possible. As the Group has cloud computing arrangements in
place, it has started to analyse, if this agenda decision has an impact to the
accounting policies applied to implementation costs in cloud computing
arrangements. The Group will undertake this analysis under the fall 2021, and
the possible impacts will be implemented retrospectively in the financial
statements 2021 at the latest.

This report has been authorised for issue by the company`s board of directors.

Critical management judgments and related estimates and
assumptions


The preparation of financial statements under IFRS requires management to make
judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the end
of the reporting period as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses
during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on
historical experience and other justified assumptions, such as future
expectations, that Optomed management believes are reasonable under the
circumstances at the end of the reporting period and the time when they were
made.


Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current
events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis and
when preparing financial statements. Changes in accounting estimates may be
necessary if there are changes in the circumstances on which the estimate was
based, or as a result of new information or more experience. Such changes are
recognized in the period in which the estimate or the assumption is
revised.


Use of judgment and estimates



Judgements that management has made in the process of applying accounting
policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in
the financial statements, relate to the following areas:

— capitalisation of development costs: determination of development expenditure
eligible for capitalisation

— impairment testing of development expenditures

Fair values - financial liabilities measured at amortised cost

Optomed considers that the carrying amounts of the financial liabilities
measured at amortised cost substantially equal to their fair values. This
estimate corresponds to the fair value hierarchy Level 3, as the measurement of
the said liabilities is based on Optomed management view.

Financial covenant

Optomed's borrowings from financial institutions contain a financial covenant
(equity ratio) and Optomed also has to meet certain key operative targets. The
borrowings will be repaid in accordance with the new repayment schedule.

Optomed has to comply with the financial covenant terms specified in the loan
agreement terms at the financial year-end. Equity ratio is calculated in FAS
figures using the agreed formula. The table below summarises the Group's
financial covenant term and compliance during reporting period.
