Press Release - 2019 Preliminary unaudited top-line figures
Medacta revenue up by 14%, with a strong revenue growth above the market in all regions and business lines
CASTEL SAN PIETRO, 21 January 2020 - Medacta Group SA continues to expand, achieving strong organic revenue growth significantly above market. The company realized 2019 preliminary unaudited sales equal to Euro 311M, with an increase of 14.0% over the prior year (11.4% on a constant currency basis).
'We are pleased with the full year results. We had a positive contribution from all product lines and a balanced geographic growth in all key markets' said Francesco Siccardi, CEO.
The Hip line continued to grow and benefit from the AMIS technique, while the integrated proposal of innovative implants, personalised MIKA approach and GMK Single Use Instrumentation sustained the strong Knee performance.
The Spine product line showed a nice acceleration in the second part of the year and a good full year performance. The patient-matched and minimally invasive solution, MySpine MIS MC, along with the successful refocus of the structure on the Medacta marketing approach, have been the key elements of this result.
In 2019 we completed the launch of our innovative Total Shoulder system, ended in December with the FDA clearance on the My Shoulder. Thanks to our comprehensive product portfolio and to a successful deployment strategy, we were able to achieve a very positive result in this product line as well.
