ASX RELEASE│OSTEOPORE LIMITED

ACTIVITY UPDATE FOR QUARTER ENDING DECEMBER 2020

Highlights:

  • Fourth consecutive quarter of revenue growth with A$429,700 achieved for Q4 CY20.

  • Osteopore achieved revenue of A$1,504,578 for the full 2020 calendar year, marking a 36% increase over CY 2019 results.

  • Signed several exclusive Distribution Agreements to promote and sell Osteopore products in Australia and New Zealand, Germany and Austria, Scandinavia, and the Middle East.

  • Appointed Ex-ResMed finance executive, Carl Runde, as Chief Financial Officer.

  • Recently expanded manufacturing facility now fully operational.

29 January 2021: Osteopore Limited (ASX: OSX) (“Osteopore” or the “Company”), a revenuegenerating medical technology company that has commercialised a range of patented 3D printed bioresorbable products, is pleased to release its Appendix 4C cash flow statement for the three-month period ending 31 December 2020.

Financial Performance

Osteopore experienced continued sales growth, with Q4 CY revenue increasing to S$422,781 (A$429,700). This represents a 5% increase over Q3 CY sales and an 18% increase over previous year sales for the corresponding period. These results contributed towards Osteopore achieving revenue of A$1,504,578 for the full 2020 calendar year, marking a 36% increase over CY 2019 results or a 41% increase in constant currency terms.

Despite the ongoing disruption in the healthcare sector resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, Osteopore has delivered consistent revenue growth over 2020. This is a testament to the Company’s sales team, our established and growing distribution network, highlighting the ongoing demand for the Company’s unique 3D printed bioresorbable implants.

The Company continued to receive non-dilutive government funding in Singapore for business support due to COVID-19 and other grant schemes. Osteopore received grant funding and tax incentives totalling A$56,000 for the quarter. Osteopore also continued to be included as an “essential service” in Singapore, allowing it to remain open and operational while executing its growth strategy.

Distribution agreements secured to drive growth

In October, the Company signed an exclusive three-year Distribution Agreement with LMT Surgical to promote and sell Osteopore’s range of products for oculoplastic and neurosurgical procedures and patient-specific implants within the Australian and New Zealand markets.

Osteopore then signed an exclusive Distribution Agreement in November with MTG Medizintechnik Göhl (MTG) to promote and sell Osteopore products within the German and Austrian markets. MTG will market Osteopore’s range of products for craniofacial procedures, as well as patient-specific implants.

An exclusive Distribution Agreement covering cranial and neurosurgery applications was signed with Swedish based Nords Medical AB in December. The agreement to promote and sell Osteoplug and Osteomesh includes the Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, and Finnish markets.

Osteopore products already have European and Australian regulatory approval, which allowed the Company to immediately begin working with these distributors to train and support sales representatives to facilitate engagement with doctors and hospitals. While Osteopore continues to grow its underlying revenue base from its existing distribution network, the Company sees promising commercial opportunities within these territories, particularly the Australian market.

Osteopore took an initial step towards the Middle East market by securing Distributors in the United Arab Emirates and Qatar during the quarter.

Appointment of Chief Financial Officer

In November, Osteopore appointed ex-ResMed finance executive, Carl Runde, as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Mr Runde has more than twenty years of international medical device industry experience in corporate financial analysis, valuation modelling, and strategic business planning.

Based in Sydney, Mr Runde is overseeing all financial operations with a focus on facilitating growth and ensuring the creation of sustainable stakeholder value. Coinciding with Mr Runde’s appointment,

Mr Geoff Pocock transitioned from his executive role at Osteopore to a Non- Executive Director role and has remained on the Board.

Manufacturing improvements

The production floor is now fully operational after the recent expansion of the manufacturing facility in Singapore. Productivity and efficiency continue to remain satisfactory, and Osteopore received government support to work with A*Star SIMTech to plan and execute automation initiatives over the next 12 months starting from January.

New product development

Osteopore made progress in expanding its product applications with Key Opinion Leaders in chin reconstruction and augmentation. The first three products have already been implanted with satisfactory outcomes and further monitoring of patients will continue to track progress.

Osteopore recently received government support to initiate a study with Temasek Polytechnic to design and develop coating technology to enhance product bioactivity in orthopaedic applications.

During the quarter, an IRB submission was made to the National University Hospital to conduct the first-in-human study with the National University Hospital for high tibial osteotomy with biologics and is under review. And Osteopore is also developing the next generation microstructure design that expands product application into soft tissue augmentation and reconstruction.

Osteopore was admitted to the official list of the ASX on 19 September 2019 following completion of an IPO raising $5.25m. The December 2020 quarter is included in a period covered by a use of funds statement in the IPO prospectus lodged with ASX under Listing rule 1.1 condition 3.
