Hardman & Co Healthcare Index: 2024 – Tough year for Life Sciences
The Hardman & Co Healthcare Index (HHI) has been running since 2009. Its main function is to highlight the attractions of life sciences investments over the long term. For the third year running, despite generally good returns in global markets, particularly in the US, performance in 2024 was poor, not helped by the capital-intensive nature of the sector. The HHI fell 17.7% to 398.9, underperforming all its benchmarks – FTSE 100 (+5.7%), FTSE All-Share (5.6%) and the FTSE AIM All-Share Index (-5...

Creo Medical - Consumables business divested in strategic move
Creo Medical has announced the sale of a majority (51%) stake in its European consumable business to Chinese medical-device manufacturer Micro‐Tech for an enterprise value of €72m (2.3x EV/sales; 20x EV/EBIT). The deal is expected to complete in Q125 and will net the company c €30m (£25m) in dry powder. We see the sale of this mature business as a strategic move, providing liquidity as Creo accelerates its effort to launch its core suite of electrosurgical devices and partner its proprietary Kam...

Creo Medical - Intuitive deal expansion is a notable milestone
Creo Medical has expanded its collaborative agreement with leading robotics manufacturer Intuitive Surgical, to include additional sites in the UK and Europe testing MicroBlate Flex in combination with Intuitive’s Ion surgical system for combined lung cancer diagnostics and treatment. The first such successful procedure under a clinical trial setting was announced in March 2024 by Professor Shah at Royal Brompton Hospital and the addition of new centres could potentially drive accelerated adopti...

Creo Medical - Setting the stage for pivotal growth
Creo Medical’s FY23 results recapped strategic, regulatory and operational wins for its core electrosurgical device suite, including Speedboat’s approval for upper gastrointestinal (GI) procedures in Europe and launch of Speedboat UltraSlim. With MicroBlate and SpydrBlade nearing commercial launch and increased traction with partners Intuitive Surgical and CMR Surgical, we anticipate the product uptake curve to steepen in the medium term. FY23 was a solid year with 13.4% y-o-y revenue growth and...

Creo Medical - NHS data validates Speedboat’s economic merit
Creo Medical has presented real-world evidence of the economic utility of its minimally invasive electrosurgical devices, based on NHS data from 130 submucosal dissection procedures using Creo’s flagship Speedboat Inject device. The data demonstrated net cash savings of £687k for the NHS trust, driven by a significant reduction in both hospitalisation and critical care costs. We believe this provides external validation to Creo’s pursuit of improving patients’ outcomes through its novel suite of...

Creo Medical - MicroBlate Flex progresses with first robotics use
Creo Medical has marked another milestone in advancing utility of its electrosurgical devices with the first use of its MicroBlate Flex device in a robotic-guided lung tissue ablation procedure (as part of an ongoing clinical study). Although not disclosed by the company, we believe this procedure was performed on Creo’s Kamaptive technology partner Intuitive Surgical’s ION bronchoscopy-focused robotics platform. Proving and expanding compatibility with robotic platforms has been an overarching ...

Creo Medical - Solid FY23 lays the groundwork for 2024
Creo Medical has released a trading update for FY23, an active year for the company, with progress made across all business segments. Traction improved in H223, following Speedboat Inject’s European clearance for upper gastrointestinal (GI) procedures and the accelerated approval and launch of Creo’s slimmest electrosurgical device, Speedboat UltraSlim. Top-line growth was supported by continued streamlining of the cost structure, resulting in a better-than-expected underlying EBITDA loss (impro...

Creo Medical - UltraSlim launch – kicking off FY24 momentum
Speedboat UltraSlim, Creo’s slimmest surgical device, was employed in the first UK surgical procedure (lower gastrointestinal, GI) under the early adopter programme. The commercial launch came earlier than previously anticipated (early 2024), with quicker than expected regulatory acceptance, and this highlights the commercial potential. The device’s smaller dimensions allow providers increased flexibility compared to treatment alternatives and increase potential utility as it is compatible with ...

Creo Medical - FDA nod for UltraSlim
Creo Medical has received US FDA approval for its Speedboat UltraSlim device, which will enable the company to launch it in the coveted US market. Though expected, this marks a material regulatory win for Creo as UltraSlim is the company’s thinnest and most versatile device and it is now projected to be available in both Europe (via accelerated EU regulatory pathway) and the US in 2024. The UltraSlim device remains an important addition to the portfolio as it provides broader access to gastroint...
