A year of solid growth

Photocure announced results for 2016 showing strong growth for the Hexvix/Cysview franchise. Total sales for the product were up 13% to NOK131m, driven by growth in both US sales (up 32% to NOK30.5m) and partner sales (up 14% to NOK61.5m). Total revenue for the period was NOK144m and there was NOK152m in operational spending. The company expects expenses in the US to increase significantly in preparation for the Hexvix/Cysview launch in the surveillance market. We now forecast profitability in 2019 instead of 2018.
