The Group pursue its growth by recording a turnover of € 3 441k up 3.7% compared to 2019. Europe and in particular France was more impacted by the health crisis during the second half of 2020 while its Chinese subsidiary outperformed overall for the year despite difficulties in the first quarter of 2020 due to the Covid-19 epidemic in Asia. The Group's strategy of investing in its two key markets, Europe and China, is therefore paying off.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) up by € 554k compared to 2019, is for the first time positive at the overall Group level (+€ 4k). EBITDA represents + 0.1% of net sales and shows a strong improvement compared to 2019 (where it represented - 16.6% of net sales). This achievement corresponds to the combination of a resilient and growing turnover as well as a rigorous management of the payroll and external expenses. This key element is the result of the structuring of the Group since 2018.

Personnel expenses down by € 166k, linked to a strict control of the payroll and the full-year effect of the operational efficiency actions initiated in 2018 and 2019.

External expenses decreased by € 180k. The Covid-19 epidemic having caused the cancellation of trade show type marketing events and the acceleration of the Group's digital marketing development.

Depreciation and amortisation increased by € 123k, due to the increase in R&D efforts over the last 3 years, as well as the launch of numerous additional applications and clinical modules.

Depreciation expenses and provisions represent € 188 or 5.4% of the turnover. This increase of € 414k is explained by the depreciation in 2020 of customer accounts impacted by the health crisis as well as by the reversal of customer provisions in 2019.

Events and 2021 outlook

Pursuit of the strategy and outlook

As previously announced, the Group is continuing its development and steps into a new strategic phase, and confirms its growth ambition based on its strong innovation capacity and its key markets, namely Europe and China.

The strengthening of the Management Committee continues under the leadership of Nicolas Reymond, aligning internal skills with the Group's ambitious growth objectives. The recent arrivals of Lionel Seltz, Chief Financial Officer, and Khalil Filali, Chief Business Officer, are structural elements for the success and future development of the Group.

The enrichment of the Myrian® platform continues to accelerate with the release of new versions integrating artificial intelligence within new advanced clinical applications. Partnerships, which accelerate the distribution of innovations to the largest possible number of users, continue to be strengthened with, for example, the recent signature of an agreement with Mevis (see the Company's press release of February, 10 2021).

Impact de health crisis

Intrasense was impacted by the global health crisis, particularly in the European markets where its commercial activity was slowed down. The Group was able to meet the challenge posed by this exceptional situation both by supporting medical teams around the world with the provision of a specific Covid-19 application and by maintaining its results.

The Group managed to increase its sales and significantly grow its EBITDA even though the industry and its immediate environment suffered greatly from the impact of Covid-19.

The strong reputation acquired during the distribution of Intrasense's Covid-19 solution has enabled the establishment of privileged relationships with its customers, partners and new reference centres, thus building a medium and long-term positive visibility for the Group.

Evolution of the Board of Directors around its new President Mrs Michèle Lesieur

2020 has seen the recomposition of the Board of Directors around its new Chairman, Mrs Michèle Lesieur, appointed on October, 8 2020. Mrs Anne Larpin also joined the Board of Directors in October 2020 as an independent director in order to accompany the company in its next stages of growth. These appointments were made following the concomitant resignations of Mr Nicolas Michelon and Mr Patrick Mayette from their positions as directors of the Company. The Board of Directors is thus composed of four members, two women and two men, respectively Mrs Michèle Lesieur (Chairman), Mrs Anne Larpin (independent director), Mr Patrice Rullier (independent director) and Mr Nicolas Reymond (director and CEO of Intrasense).
