Strategy USA: it's showtime!

​Deltex markets minimally invasive and real time Doppler (ultrasound) cardiac function monitoring systems used for both surgery and critical care in hospitals worldwide.

FY2015 results highlighted satisfactory progress through a year affected by divergent market trends. The UK haemodynamic monitoring market declined again, with little turnaround prospects in sight; significantly, the US and International markets demonstrated good growth and a strong future potential.

Most encouragingly, US revenues increased 41% to £1.5m in FY2015. The growth trajectory continued to improve, with probe revenues hitting £1.3m, +33% (+23% local currency). Currently, DEMG has 24 platform accounts, adding 7 so far in 2016. ODM adoption rates in the US continue to out-perform other markets.

Although UK business prospects remain uncertain, aggressive efforts to reduce costs starting to pay off. Cash costs were reduced £100k per month from Q1, helping support US expansion plans.

On valuation, EV/Sales ratios and our DCF analysis support a fair value in excess of 8 pence/share.
