Observe Medical ASA: Interim report for the third quarter and 2021

Oslo, November, 3rd, 2021 - Observe Medical ASA (OSE: OBSRV) today released

its financial results and presentation of the third quarter of 2021. The Company

reports strong revenue growth for the Nordic portfolio, continued progress in

the commercialization and go-to-market execution for Sippi® including an update

on preparations for US market entry.

CEO of Observe Medical, Björn Larsson commented: "We are building a Nordic-based

medtech company with global reach, with the Sippi® digital urine meter as our

first product. The roll-out of Sippi® is the key focus for the company, and

during the third quarter we have taken important steps forward. Sippi® has been

successfully pre-launched in Poland, and hospitals in Italy and Finland have

decided to implement Sippi® connected to their data management platform. In

Sweden, Nya Karolinska Sjukhuset is the first customer to expand the use of

Sippi® outside the intensive care unit. Together with further strengthened

indications of the clinical benefits of Sippi® and health economic evidence of

the cost savings and economical value of the system, this makes us well equipped

to continue execution of the go-to-market strategy."

The roll-out of Sippi® is done through a close collaboration with distributors

in markets outside the Nordics, whereas Observe Medical has a direct sales

operations in the Nordics.

"We aim to expand the network of distributors and are currently screening and

targeting additional European partners. There is also a significant potential

for launch in the US market. During the third quarter we have strengthened our

US patent protection, and at the same time clarified the regulatory pathway in

the USA," said Björn Larsson.

Observe Medical's revenue in the third quarter of 2021 was NOK 7.6 million (NOK

9,000 in the same quarter in 2020). The increase from 2020 was primarily driven

by the added revenue from the acquired sales and distribution operations in

Sweden. On a comparable basis, Observe Medical grew revenues with 148 percent in

the third quarter 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.

Observe Medical's EBITDA in Q3 2021 was negative NOK 6.7 million (negative NOK

4.8 million in the same quarter in 2020), affected by increased headcount and

development projects in the quarter. The net result in the period ended at
