CEO Review
As we review the second quarter of 2024, it is crucial to reflect on our achievements, challenges, and the strategic decisions we are implementing to drive future growth.
Our revenue for Q2 2024 was EUR 3.5 million, representing a decrease of 6.4% compared to the same period last year. This decline is attributable to reductions in both our Devices and Software segments, In Devices, revenue decreased by 15.7% to EUR 1.1 million from EUR 1.3 million. In Software, revenue decreased by 1.6% to EUR 2.4 million from EUR 2.5 million.
The adjusted EBITDA stood at EUR -0.8 million, corresponding to -22.9% of revenue.
Despite the relatively soft sales in both business segments, we have made substantial progress in the most important strategic areas:
1. FDA Clearance for Optomed Aurora with AEYE-DS AI: U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance was successfully received for Optomed Aurora with AEYE-DS AI, a milestone that validates our innovative approach and opens new market opportunities in the United States.
2. Directed Share Issue: We successfully completed a directed share issue, raising gross proceeds approximately EUR 7.9 million. This capital infusion strengthens our financial position and supports our strategic initiatives.
3. Joint Venture with Zhongbao Fund: We signed a shareholder's agreement with Zhongbao Fund to establish a joint venture in China. This partnership aims to enhance our market presence and leverage local expertise for better penetration in the Chinese market.
4. Cooperation Agreement with Toku Eyes: We signed a cooperation agreement with Toku Eyes, whose algorithms have received FDA breakthrough designation for detecting kidney and cardiovascular risks through eye examinations. This collaboration will enable us to expand the range of diseases that can be assessed using Optomed's cameras.
We remain optimistic about our growth prospects. Our outlook for the full year 2024 remains unchanged, with an expectation of revenue growth compared to 2023. We are committed to executing our strategic plan, improving operational efficiencies, and expanding our market footprint. In accordance with our strategy, we will continue to invest in product development, clinical trials, and finally bringing new products to markets.
In conclusion, while the second quarter presented some financial challenges, we have made significant strides in key strategic areas that position us well for the future. Our focus remains on delivering long-term value to our shareholders through innovation, strategic partnerships, and market expansion.
Thank you for your continued support and confidence in Optomed. We look forward to updating you on our progress in the coming quarters.
Warm regards,
Juho Himberg

Shares and shareholders
The Company has one share series with all shares having the same rights. At the end of the review period Optomed Plc's share capital consisted of 18,130,397 shares and the Company held 353,973 shares in the treasury which approximately corresponds to 1.95 percent of the total amount of the shares and votes. Additional information with respect to the shares, shareholding and trading can be found on the Company's website www.optomed.com/investors/.
Directed share issue
Optomed completed a directed share issue consisting of 1,500,000 shares and collected gross proceeds of approximately EUR 7.9 million in June 2024. According to the assessment of the Company, the Share Issue supports the Company's target best compared to other equity financing options.
The Board has considered other financing options, including various capital market financing options. According to the assessment of the Board, the other alternatives involved significant costs, timetable requirements as well as uncertainties related to the implementation which are not in the interest of the Company and its shareholders when taking into account the Company's capital needs and the need for rapidly developing the Company's business to utilise its market position. Therefore, the Board of the Company has considered that there is a weighty financial reason for the Company to deviate from the pre-emptive subscription rights, and according to the Board of the Company, the Share Issue is in the interest of the Company and its shareholders.
The subscription price was EUR 5.25 per Share. The subscription price represented a discount of approximately 13.8 per cent compared to the closing price of the Company's share on 26 June 2024. The subscription price has been determined through negotiations corresponding to a bookbuilding, involving a limited number of institutional and qualified investors. The investors were identified on the basis of their investment potential, expertise in the Company and its industry, and knowledge of the Finnish market. The purpose of the procedure has been to ensure the realisation of the financing arrangement and the subscription price being market based. The subscription price was credited in full to the Company's reserve for invested unrestricted equity.
New shares subscribed for in Optomed Plc's directed share issue have been registered into the Finnish Trade Register, and the shares were admitted to trading on the official list of Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd on 1 July 2024.
Risks and uncertainties
The key risks and uncertainties are described in the company's Annual Report 2023 which was published on 29 February 2024. The complete report is available at https://www.optomed.com/investors/. The risk position of Optomed has not changed since then, except for that the risks titled "AURORA AEYE FDA CLEARANCE PROCESS" and "PUBLIC PROCUREMENT" are no longer applicable.

Selected notes
Corporate information and basis of accounting
Corporate information
Optomed is a Finnish medical technology group (hereafter `Optomed' or `Group') that specialises in handheld fundus cameras and solutions for screening of blinding eye diseases, established in 2004.
The Group's parent company, Optomed Plc (hereafter the `Company'), is a Finnish public limited liability company established under the laws of Finland, and its business ID is 1936446-1. It is domiciled in Oulu, Finland and the Company's registered address is Yrttipellontie 1, 90230 Oulu, Finland.
Basis of accounting
Optomed's consolidated financial statements has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. The preparation of this Half-year Report also takes into account the amendments to IFRS standards that have become effective by January 1, 2024.
This Half-year financial statement is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with Group`s last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2023. These Half-year financial statements do not include all of the information required by IAS 34: selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group`s financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.
All presented figures have been rounded so the sum of the individual figures may differ from the presented total figure.
Financial ratios have been calculated using exact figures.
This report has been authorized for issue by the company`s board of directors.
Critical management judgments and related estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements under IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other justified assumptions, such as future expectations, that Optomed management believes are reasonable under the circumstances at the end of the reporting period and the time when they were made.
Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis and when preparing financial statements. Changes in accounting estimates may be necessary if there are changes in the circumstances on which the estimate was based, or as a result of new information or more experience. Such changes are recognized in the period in which the estimate or the assumption is revised.
Use of judgment and estimates
Judgements that management has made in the process of applying accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements, relate to the following areas:
- Determining trade receivables credit risk
- capitalization of development costs: determination of development expenditure eligible for capitalization
- impairment testing of development expenditures
