Key consolidated figures

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
“Despite the challenging operating environment in 2023, our core business without microperimeters showed an upward trend towards the end of the year. The growth for our core products recovered to its usual double-digit level. In the last quarter of the year, sales of retinal imaging devices, in particular, showed very strong growth. Furthermore, the sales growth of intraocular pressure measurement devices was almost double-digit year-on-year. The uptake of new iCare ILLUME screening solution customers continued to grow strongly. Operating profit was on a strong level, being 32.6% of net sales.

In the last quarter of the year, sales of our core products, especially the iCare IC200 intraocular pressure measurement device updated with the Quick Measure feature, performed strongly in our key markets. During the same period, iCare DRSplus and iCare EIDON family fundus imaging devices performed strongly. We received a significant order for the iCare DRSplus fundus imaging device for screening purposes in Germany. Deliveries are scheduled for 2023–2025. Additionally, we received significant orders for iCare DRSplus fundus imaging devices and iCare IC200 intraocular pressure measurement devices in the United States. The process regarding the reimbursement policy for the iCare HOME2 intraocular pressure measurement device proceeds in the United States, and an application for a HCPCS reimbursement code for the iCare HOME2 intraocular pressure measurement device has been sent to the CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) in the United States. This code is required by insurers for the reimbursement of the iCare HOME2 intraocular pressure measurement device to patients. Our objective is to expand the reimbursement policy to cover the device, either in full or in part, as a part of the patient’s care pathway.

Our medium-term growth targets and outlook remain unchanged. When investments in eye care recover, we will be in an excellent position to accelerate our growth. The drivers of our growth, including the increasing prevalence of eye diseases due to aging and rising living standards, along with healthcare cost pressures, create demand pressure. Our product portfolio is competitive and up-to-date to meet the demand. We have the capacity to complement organic growth with acquisitions due to our strong balance sheet, and we are actively scanning the market.

At the end of November, we introduced our strategy for the next three-year period, with a continued focus on the eye care market. We seek to grow at a rate three times faster than the market from 2025 onward. To achieve this objective, we aim to improve the level of clinical diagnostics through our products and to optimize patient eye care pathways through connected and predictive solutions. Strengthening customer orientation in operations and sales play a central role in our objective, while we also continue to develop our personnel and corporate culture. We have also set our ESG goals, focusing on the creation of value for our stakeholders, society, people, and the environment in particular. We develop sustainability in close cooperation with our partners and delivery chain.

We believe that the market situation will start to normalize from the second half of 2024 onwards, even though the recovery of the global macroeconomy currently seems slower than anticipated, and the geopolitical situation is very challenging. Despite this, we have faith in the future and remain committed to our growth objectives. I would like to express my gratitude to our team and stakeholders for their perseverance and commitment during the challenging year of 2023. It is good to continue our journey together forward from here.”

Revenio Group’s strategy
The cornerstones of the strategy for 2024–2026 are:

2. Optimize clinical care pathways with connected and predictive solutions
3. Enhance customer focus in operations & sales
4. Continue to develop People & Culture as a foundational strength
5. Continue sustainable and profitable growth

Corporate responsibility
Revenio is a supplier of holistic eye care solutions operating in the international market and a global leader in ophthalmological devices and software solutions. Through its business, Revenio produces a positive impact on people and society by promoting eye health. Revenio takes into account the unique characteristics of the sector’s business and operating environment in all its operations concerning responsibility and sustainable development.

During 2023, Revenio started preparing for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) by, among other things, involving its stakeholders in the assessment of its material sustainability impacts. The specification of materiality will continue in 2024 by applying the double materiality perspective. Materiality analysis is a continuous process that involves assessing changes in the operational environment and the impact of operations on a continuous basis. Revenio will be covered by the CSRD as of the financial year 2025.

Revenio’s responsibility program, which was updated in 2023, covers four main themes that are linked to the company’s basic business—promoting eye health and improving the quality of life through products and services and, for example, enhanced screening coverage—and HR responsibility, environmental responsibility and good corporate governance. The company is committed to the principles of sustainable development as defined by the UN, and it has selected eight UN Sustainable Development Goals that are closely connected to its business.

Revenio complies with laws, regulations, rules issued by Nasdaq Helsinki, principles of good corporate governance as well as its Code of Conduct and agreed on operating practices. Our group-wide ethical principles are aimed at supporting us in our decision-making in the global business environment and ensuring responsibility in all our actions.

In terms of personnel, the material responsibility themes are personnel safety, health and well-being, diversity and inclusion, good management and a corporate culture that supports innovation, as well as competence development and learning.

In terms of environmental impacts, the key responsibility themes are the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and other harmful environmental effects in our own operations and in the value chain, promoting sustainable and circular product design and reducing the lifecycle environmental impacts of our products. The progress we made in 2023 included increasing the coverage of emission calculations and committing critical suppliers to independent sustainability reviews.

Summary of trading on Nasdaq Helsinki on January 1–December 31, 2023

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.

The Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting of April 4, 2024, that the parent Company’s distributable assets are used in such a way that a dividend of EUR 0.38 (0.36) per share, total EUR 10,138,824.08, be paid out for the number of shares on December 31, 2023 with the remaining distributable assets to be added to equity.

The Board of Directors finds that the proposed distribution of profit does not endanger the liquidity of the parent Company or the Group.
