Financial guidance for 2024
Revenio Group’s exchange rate-adjusted net sales are estimated to grow 5-10 percent from the previous year and profitability, excluding non-recurring items, is estimated to remain at a good level.
President and CEO Jouni Toijala comments on the second quarter of 2024
As expected, the second quarter of the year was a strong one for us. Our net sales increased by 14.2%, totalling EUR 25.4 million. Our adjusted operating profit was at a good level, at EUR 6.0 million, or 23.5% of net sales, which is clearly above the average in our industry.
Sales development in the second quarter of the year was strong, particularly in the US, and very strong in EMEA and APAC. Sales of fundus imaging devices developed very strongly, and sales of tonometers developed strongly during the review period. Of our products related to intraocular pressure measurement, iCare IC200 tonometer and probes sold particularly well. The sales of iCare DRSplus fundus imaging devices also continued to be strong throughout the first half of the year. In addition, the sales of iCare COMPASS and iCare EIDON product family developed very well in the second quarter. Exchange rates contributed favourably to net sales in the second quarter of the year.
Our reported operating result was weakened by the write-off of capitalizations, totalling EUR 0.73 million. The capitalizations were mainly related to Ventica, a non-strategic children's asthma product. In line with our strategy, we are focusing our capital allocations on eye care solutions. For this reason, we have not updated the CE certification pursuant to the MDD (Medical Device Directive) of Ventica to comply with the requirements of the new European Medical Device Regulation (MDR). The update would have required significant investment; instead, we decided to discontinue the product, leading to the write-off of the remaining assets.
Unlike the first quarter, the second quarter did not include significant costs related to the FDA approval process for the iCare ILLUME screening solution. The clinical trials are progressing and corresponding costs will be incurred as the trials progress during the latter part of the year and early 2025.
Our net cash flow was very strong. Net cash flow from operating activities was increased by the year-on-year improvement in net profit, and changes in working capital.
Our continued profitable growth is based on our state-of-the-art products and solutions. We have significant product development projects underway, including the development of the successor to the iCare MAIA microperimeter, which is progressing on schedule towards its launch during the second half of the year and first commercial deliveries in early 2025. The new iCare TONOVET Pro was launched during the review period. Other product development projects will be discussed in more detail during the year.
iCare ILLUME is a unique screening solution that combines images captured with the iCare DRSplus fundus imaging device with the iCare ILLUME cloud platform and AI. We have successfully expanded the sales of the iCare ILLUME screening solution to Germany, Spain, and the Middle East, which has brought us numerous new customers. The iCare ILLUME screening solution has been actively showcased at key industry conferences and the feedback has continued to be extremely positive. iCare ILLUME is clearly considered the most effective and usable screening solution for both clinicians and patients.
The process related to the iCare HOME2 tonometer reimbursement policy with the US CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) regarding the HCPCS reimbursement code for the iCare HOME2 tonometer continues. We estimate the process to be completed during the last quarter of the year. Our goal is to expand the reimbursement policy to cover the device either in full or in part as part of the patient’s care pathway in addition to the existing codes. The code is necessary for insurance companies to reimburse patients for the purchase of a tonometer.
In the United States, the willingness to invest among the private equity-funded optician chains is showing positive momentum compared to last year, even though the recovery has not yet materialized in the form of larger orders.
The implementation of our strategy is progressing with determination. In recent years, we have undergone a significant transformation from an ophthalmic device provider focused on eye health to a supplier of total eye care solutions. Our software solutions significantly streamline the patient’s eye care pathways and the work processes of ophthalmologists and opticians. This improves both the productivity and quality of eye care.
Recovery of the global macro economy, especially in terms of the interest rate environment, is currently progressing slower than expected, and the geopolitical situation continues to be challenging. Visibility around the future is still quite limited. We are committed to our growth targets despite the challenging operating environment. I would like to thank our partners and the entire organization for their commitment to our strategy and their daily work for it.

Risks and uncertainty factors
Risks Revenio Group is exposed to include strategic, operational, business cycle, damage, financial, and political risks. In addition, the threat of the global impact of pandemics and the risk of cyber threats have increased.
The Group’s strategic risks include competition in all sectors, the threat posed by new competing products, and any other actions of the Company’s rivals that may affect the competitive situation. Another strategic risk is related to the ability to shift the strategic focus towards integrated and predictive eye care pathways and to succeed in R&D activities and to maintain a competitive product mix. The Group develops new technologies under Icare Finland Oy, Revenio Research Oy, CenterVue Spa and iCare World Australia Pty Ltd, and any failure in the commercialization of individual development projects may result in the depreciation of capitalized development expenses, with an impact on the result. Strategic risks in the Group's segments that require special expertise are also associated with the successful management and development of key human resources and the management of the subcontractor and supplier network. The range and probability of cyber threats has increased. When realized, a cyber threat can affect the continuity of Revenio Group's business, the Group's reputation, or lead to significant sanctions. Risks caused by cyber threats are prepared with technical, administrative and organizational information security development.
Corporate acquisitions and the purchase of assets with growth potential related to eye health are part of the Group strategy. The success of these acquisitions has a significant impact on the achievement of growth and profitability targets. Acquisitions may also change the Group’s risk profile.
Strategic risks and the need for action are regularly monitored and assessed in connection with day-to-day management, monthly Group reporting, and annual strategy updates.
Operational risks are associated with the retention and development of major customers, the operations of the distribution network, and success in extending the customer base and markets. Operational risks in the eye health sector that the Company specializes in include, in particular, factors related to expansion into new markets, such as various countries' national regulations of marketing authorizations for medical instruments and the related official decisions concerning the health care market. Success in eye health R&D projects launched in accordance with the strategy can also be classified as an operational risk. Furthermore, the global availability challenges related to electronic components may cause operational risks.
The operational risks related to the manufacture, product development, and production control of medical instruments are estimated to be higher than average due to the sector’s ambitious requirements concerning quality. Damage-related risks are covered by insurance. Property and business interruption insurance provides protection against risks in these areas. The business activities of the Group are covered by international liability insurance.
Financial risks can be further categorized into credit, interest-rate, liquidity, and foreign exchange risks. The Board assesses financial risks and other financial matters in its monthly meetings, or more frequently, as necessary. If required, the Board provides decisions and guidelines for the management of financial risks including, for example, interest-rate and currency hedging decisions. Liquidity risk can be affected by the availability of external financing, the development of the Group’s credit standing, trends in business operations, and changes in the payment behavior of customers. Liquidity risks are monitored by means of cash forecasts, which are drawn up for periods of, at most, 12 months at a time.
The management of corporate responsibility risks is a part of the Company’s risk management process, according to which risks are assessed annually. Corporate responsibility is viewed through economic, environmental and social responsibility.
Revenio Group offers eye health diagnostics solutions under the iCare brand. Reputational damage might have a negative impact on Revenio Group’s business. Possible causes for reputational damage include cyber security or compliance challenges or notable delivery or product quality issues. Leakage of sensitive employee or customer data might also lead to reputational damage and notable financial consequences.
Revenio Group products are sold in nearly 100 countries. Economic and political uncertainties, interest and inflation risks and the unstable geopolitical situation may affect the demand for Revenio Group products. Revenio actively monitors political developments in different market areas from a risk management perspective. Developments in national government policies or changes to relevant legislation may have an impact on the Group’s business. The security situation in Europe has changed drastically since the Russia invasion of Ukraine. Revenio stopped all its business in Russia and Belarus in the first quarter of 2022. Revenio’s sales in Russia have been limited prior to the war, accounting for less than two per cent of Revenio’s net sales.
Moreover, global pandemics such as Covid-19 could have direct and indirect effects on Revenio Group's business, including and an increased risk of personnel being incapacitated. Government-mandated closures of factories or borders may weaken Revenio Group's operating environment and restrictions on the movement of people could hamper the sales and delivery of Revenio’s products.
