In#line#with#its#commitments,#Spineway#successfully%expanded%into%new%highGpotential%countries%such#as# the# United# States# and# Australia.# The# Group# also# maintained# strong# growth# in# the# other# regions# in# which# it# is# present. Indeed,#at#the#end#of#September#2017,#it#posted#sales#revenue#of#€7.4M (+125%).#
Spineway#also#showed its#capacity%for%innovation with#14#patent#families#filed#and#the#launch#of#its#new#line#of# innovative# MontKBlanc# MIS# implants# that# has# been a# resounding# success# in# France# and# Latin# America. In# addition,#the#Group repositioned%its%offer%in%order%to%better%meet%the%needs%of%its%clients%and%distributors. The# recent#recruitment#of#a#Director#of#Operations#specialized#in#managing#and#optimizing#the#supply#chain should# allow#Spineway#to#optimize#its#inventory#and,#at#the same#time,#continue#to#improve#its#WCR.
As#announced,#Spineway#also# strengthened#its% financial structure%by# €1.4M with#a capital#investment# by# the# Chinese#group#Tinavi#Medical#Technologies#(November 2016)#to#support#its#growth.#This#strategic#partnership# could# also# lead# to# a# collaboration for# the# development# of# new# products# in# the# spinalKimplant/instruments# market.
In#addition, Spineway#entered#into#an#issuance#agreement#with#the#Yorkville#SPV#Ltd#management#company#for# the#reserved#issue#of#Notes#in#several#tranches,#representing,#overall,#a#bond%issue%of%approximately%€2M, with% warrants%that%could%represent%an%additional%€2M%if#all#such#warrants#are#exercised#(see#press#release#dated#28# July#2017).#As#a#reminder,#this#issuance#is#subject#to#the#transfer of%the%Spineway%shares%to%the%"Public%Offer"% compartment% of%Euronext%Growth and# obtaining# prior#approval#from# the#Autorité( des(Marchés(Financiers of# the#prospectus#to#be#prepared#by#the#company#by#31#December#2017,#at#the#latest.
Although#remaining#a#key#objective#in#the#Group's#strategy,#reaching#financial#equilibrium#for#the#2018#financial# year# could# be# interpreted# as an# earnings# estimate so Spineway# no# longer# wishes# to# communicate# on# this# subject.
After# the# rapid# acceleration# of# its# activity# this# year,#the#Group is# focused# on# consolidating# its# new# positions# abroad,#for#which#it#is#deploying#all#its#marketing#and#sales#efforts.#This#momentum#allows#Spineway#to#confirm# its#2018#salesKrevenue goal#of#approximately#€10M.
