USA Stille AB: Interim Report Q2 2020
Revenue in the second quarter was negatively affected by COVID-19 and decreased by 20.4 percent compared to the same quarter previous year. Revenue amounted to 29.3 MSEK (36.8). The operating profit decreased to -1.5 MSEK (5.1) and was negatively impacted by items affecting comparability of 5.4 MSEK following depreciation of stock and a weakened US dollar. Simultaneously, the operating profit was positively impacted by economic relief packages relating to COVID-19 by 2.6 MSEK.
It has been a tough quarter but we can still see positive tendencies where the Surgical Instruments business area has continued its growth in the US during the quarter, and the product line Medstone within the C-arm Tables business area displays growth in the first half of 2020, explains Hanna Ernestam Wilkman and continues. The decline in revenues primarily derives from a reduced demand for the product line imagiQ within the C-arm Tables business area following the healthcare system’s reprioritization to fight the pandemic.
The queues for planned surgeries are growing worldwide and the demand for Stille’s products will gradually return as the pandemic slows down, it is however difficult to specify when that is. For that reason, Hanna Ernestam Wilkman estimates that results and cashflow will be lower or significantly lower in the third quarter compared to the same record quarter in 2019.
We continue our efforts in balancing the effects of this through cost reductions where possible and continue our work to ensure future product leadership, says the CEO and concludes. It is a tough quarter we are now leaving behind us. As we move forward our focus remains to be the health and employment of our employees, and generating growth and profitability.
