Photocure ASA: Results for the third quarter of 2024

13 Nov 2024 08:00 CET

Oslo, Norway, 13 November 2024 - Photocure ASA (OSE:PHO) today reported
Hexvix[®]/Cysview[®] revenues of NOK 120.1 million in the third quarter of 2024
(Q3 2023: NOK 107.3 million), and  EBITDA of NOK 5.0 million (NOK 3.3 million)
for the Company. Photocure reiterates its 2024 financial guidance and continues
to expect consolidated product revenue growth of 6% to 9% in constant currency
and positive EBITDA excluding business development expenses.

"We delivered solid performance in the third quarter, generating 12%
Hexvix/Cysview revenue growth and NOK 5.0 million in EBITDA. Year-to-date, we
have reported 9% growth in product revenues. Our business segments in North
American and Europe both generated positive contributions during the quarter,
and we made progress on key initiatives that we are pursuing to accelerate our
growth going forward,"  says Dan Schneider, President & Chief Executive Officer
of Photocure.

Photocure reported total group revenues of NOK 120.2 million in the third
quarter of 2024 (NOK 107.5 million), and EBITDA* of NOK 5.0 million (NOK 3.3
million), driven by revenue growth in North America and Europe. Hexvix/Cysview
revenues ended at NOK 120.1 million in the quarter (Q3 2023: NOK 107.3 million).
The EBIT was NOK -2.2 million (NOK -3.9 million) and the cash balance at the end
of the period was NOK 291.1 million.

At the end of the third quarter of 2024, the installed base of rigid BLC systems
in the U.S. was 387, up 13% since Q3 2023. This includes 18 mobile towers owned
by ForTec Medical. Photocure estimates that 25 flexible BLC towers remain in the
U.S. market. Photocure also entered into a strategic agreement with Richard Wolf
GmbH to develop and commercialize a next-generation flexible blue light
cystoscope based on Richard Wolf's system blue technology with the goal to
reintroduce and grow the use of BLC with Cysview/Hexvix in the surveillance
setting.

"We are also positioning for the future with our Richard Wolf partnership to
develop and commercialize a state-of-the-art flexible high-definition blue light
system. This partnership is focused on ensuring that physicians and patients
have reliable access to high quality BLC equipment in the surveillance setting.
The development project is well underway, with the goal to bring a new flexible
BLC system to patients globally as soon as possible. Additionally, the Karl
Storz' Citizen's Petition to have BLC equipment reclassified in the U.S. from
Class 3 to Class 2 is another significant opportunity that we continue to
monitor and pro-actively support,"  Schneider adds.

Photocure believes that the benefits of Blue Light Cystoscopy with
Hexvix/Cysview offering superior detection and management of bladder cancer will
continue to be adopted and become the standard of care. Photocure reiterates its
2024 guidance and continues to expect consolidated product revenue growth of 6%
to 9% in constant currency, positive EBITDA excluding business development
expenses, and new and upgraded SaphiraT installations in the U.S. in the range
of 55 to 70 towers.

"With our business continuing to show steady growth, industry trends in our
favor, and a number of initiatives underway that can enable Hexvix/Cysview to
grow faster, I believe that Photocure is well-positioned to deliver value to
patients and our shareholders in the coming quarters," Schneider concludes.
