VALENCE, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
Amplitude Surgical (ISIN: FR0012789667, Ticker: AMPLI, eligible for PEA-PME plans) (Paris:AMPLI), a leading French player on the surgical technology market for lower-limb orthopedics, announces its sales for the third quarter of its 2021-22 financial year.
Olivier Jallabert, Amplitude Surgical’s CEO, commented: “During the first 9 months of our 2021-22 financial year, Amplitude Surgical posted sales growth of 4.0% at constant exchange rates. However, the Group’s business continued to be negatively affected by the public health situation associated with the COVID-19 pandemic on a large part of its markets. Health restrictions and cancelled operations, as well as the reduced availability of operating rooms and medical staff, slowed the Group’s sales momentum. In March, we saw a gradual return to a more normal level of activity on the French market. Novastep, meanwhile, has continued its development and accounts for approximately 16.4% of Group sales, with growth of 29.9% over the period”.
