The Board of Directors of Spineway, meeting on March 24, 2025 under the chairmanship of Stéphane Le Roux, approved the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The Spineway Group, a specialist in innovative implants for the treatment of severe spine disorders reported annual revenue of €12 million in FY 2024, representing organic growth of 14% (excluding changes in the scope of consolidation) compared with FY 2023. This acceleration benefited from the successful integration of the Distimp and Spine Innovations acquisitions, which have strengthened the Group’s premium ranges and boosted sales in this segment.
Improved results in 2024
The increase in revenue, also driven by the various presentations and surgeon training sessions on ESP2 prostheses, was accompanied by a significant improvement in FY 2024 results.
Good control of purchasing allowed the gross margin to be maintained at 69%. Similarly, the Group’s cost optimization plan, particularly with regard to personnel and operating expenses, paid off in full over the year, with these two items down 14% and 28% respectively compared with FY 2023. Over the period, Spineway continued its regulatory and clinical investments to obtain new export approvals and CE/MDR certifications.
The careful management of operating expenses, combined with the increase in revenue, was reflected in a €3.6 million reduction in the operating loss to €0.9 million in FY 2024, compared with a loss of €4.5 million in FY 2023.
Financial expense was penalized by the recognition of an exceptional financial expense of €1.5 million in the first half due to the compensation mechanism of the Negma financing agreement, and thus amounted to €2.5 million. Over the full year, the Group recorded an exceptional loss of €0.5 million, mainly linked to the reduction in headcount.
As a result, the net loss improved significantly to €3.9 million in FY 2024, compared with a loss of €6.5 million in FY 2023. Adjusted for the exceptional expense related to the Negma agreement, the Group’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 was €2.4 million.
Strengthened cash position of €4.5 million as of December 31, 2024
Between the start of the convertible bond (OCA) issue and subscription agreement concluded with Negma3 and December 31, 2024, 4,341 bonds were converted into 1,690,241,419 shares. After the reverse stock split in February 20244 and the reduction of the par value of the shares in December 2024, Spineway’s share capital as of December 31, 2024 was €57,584.57, consisting of 28,792,276 shares with a par value of 0.002 euros each. To date, 90 OCA bonds remain available for subscription prior to the expiration of this agreement, scheduled for May 2025.
At the end of December 2024, Spineway’s cash position was €4.5 million, i.e. a net cash position of €2.7 million (after deduction of financial debt).
Acceleration of strategic investments to drive future growth
This strong financial performance confirms the relevance of Spineway’s strategic focus on premium ranges and the success of the synergies implemented with Distimp and Spine Innovation, which are enabling the company to strengthen its position in the market for medical devices for the spine.
Following delays, the in-house ESP prosthesis production line is now scheduled to come into service in H1 2025. Once operational, in-house production will enable the Group to be more agile and generate higher margins. In addition, Spineway plans to step up its marketing activities and increase its regulatory investments in order to expand its international presence and access new markets.
These regulatory (product approvals, certifications, etc.) and marketing (training, trade shows, etc.) investments are long-term growth drivers. By combining targeted expansion and controlled cost management, Spineway aims to maintain solid organic growth in order to regain sustainable profitability and a sound financial base in the medium term.
