Navamedic: Q3 2016 Results

Navamedic: Q3 2016 Results

Oslo, 11 November 2016 - Navamedic ASA (OSE: NAVA), reported revenues of NOK

65.2 million in the third quarter of 2016 (NOK 61.5 million in Q3 2015), and an

EBITDA of NOK 1.8 million (NOK 1.5 million in Q3 2015). The company initiated

the long-term strategic partnership with TopRidge Pharma in the period, with the

distribution of Imdur® commencing in the Nordic Markets. The development and

commercialisation of Sippi® continues to be on-track.

The third quarter marked the start of Navamedic's long term partnership with Top

Ridge Pharma Limited, as distribution of Imdur to customers in the Nordic region

was initiated. This is the first major product to launch under the collaboration

and Navamedic is working diligently to expand to additional markets.  Sales

revenue continued to perform well, up six percent compared to previous year.

Group EBITDA performance was, as expected, weighed by costs associated with the

launch of Sippi, while the base business in Pharma and Healthcare products

returned a positive EBITDA. In Q3, Navamedic moved the wireless communication

version of Sippi into production, expected to contribute with accelerated sales

uptake in the years to come", says Tom Rönnlund, Chief Executive Officer of

Navamedic.

Revenues in the third quarter of 2016 ended at NOK 65.2 million, compared to NOK

61.5 million in the third quarter of 2015, and with an EBITDA of NOK 1.8

million, up from NOK 1.5 million in Q3 2015. The Q3 2016 financial performance

reflects the high activity within business development, future growth

initiatives and the continued commercialisation of Sippi®.

In September, the distribution of angina prevention medicine Imdur® (isosorbide

mononitrate) commenced in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. The

strategic partnership and long-term distribution agreement represents

significant opportunities for Navamedic's continued development, as future

products planned for launch in Europe by TopRidge Pharma and its parent company,

will be offered on a first rights basis. The agreement is expected to contribute

with annual, future revenues of NOK 70-100 million.

During the third quarter, Navamedic continued the development and

commercialisation of its proprietary urine measurement system, Sippi®, with new

milestones reached with regards to the product's wireless capabilities, positive

feedback from key institutions and prospect customers, as well as initiation of

several important clinical studies.

"Navamedic aims to bring Sippi to additional European and other selected

international markets, and will work jointly with TopRidge Pharma on plans for a

future introduction of Sippi in China. Simultaneously, Navamedic is preparing to

introduce Sippi in the U.S., which is currently scheduled for late 2017", says

Rönnlund.
