Olivier Jallabert, Chairman and CEO of Amplitude Surgical, says: “With new record half and full-year sales, 2016-17 perfectly illustrates Amplitude Surgical’s excellent dynamism since its creation in 1997, with 20 years of continuous strong organic growth. The result of the Group’s numerous assets, and notably its innovation and execution ability supported by efficient and motivated teams in every country in which we operate, the 16% increase in sales recorded over the financial year is perfectly in line with our implementation strategy, and bolsters our target of doubling sales in five years.”

Amplitude Surgical’s buoyant growth momentum continued over its 2016-17 financial year to June 30, 2017, with sales totaling €93.3 million, up +15.6% in actual terms and +13.8% at constant currency. Over the fourth quarter (from April to June), sales totaled €24.2 million, an increase of +9.6%, or +8.5% at constant currency.

On the French market, Amplitude Surgical continued to record solid growth, with annual sales of €58.1 million, up +11.1%, and fourth quarter sales of €13.9 million, up +7.3%. Thanks to the recruitment of numerous surgeons, the Group has again recorded significant market share gains.

The +23.8% growth in international sales to €35.2 million over the year can be attributed to both the buoyant growth achieved by the Group’s subsidiaries and the strong level of sales recorded through its distributors, and it also benefited from a positive currency effect. Indeed, at constant currency sales growth was 10.2% and 18.8% in the fourth quarter and in 2016-17 as a whole, respectively.

Over the year, the activity recorded by the Group’s subsidiaries, accounting for 72% of international sales, notably benefited from the solidity of the German and Benelux markets, while billings exceeded $3 million in the United States and sales from the Group’s new subsidiaries in South Africa and Japan totaled almost €1.3 million.

During the third year of marketing of Novastep products, innovative solutions for extremities (foot and ankle) surgery, sales totaled €6.1 million, up by over 60%, and now account for almost 7% of total Group sales. On the French market, which accounts for 40% of activity, sales grew by almost 45%, while on the extensive American market they virtually doubled to exceed $3 million.
