EOS imaging Reports Full Year 2015 Results and Q1 2016 Revenue


EOS imaging (Paris:EOSI) (Euronext, FR0011191766 - EOSI), the pioneer in 2D/3D orthopedic medical imaging, today announced consolidated results for the full year, ended December 31, 2015, as approved by the Board of Directors on April 28, 2016, together with its revenue for the first quarter of 2016.

Marie Meynadier, CEO of EOS imaging, commented: "A key highlight from 2015 was the development of new functionality in the EOS platform through EOS Apps. The expansion of our offering to online software applications allows physicians to further leverage the EOS 2D/3D images and the patient's anatomical data to plan and execute orthopedic procedures, with the goal of a better control of the quality and costs associated with orthopedic therapies.

"In 2015 we continued to expand our business in our three major markets, and the very strong growth we achieved in the first quarter of 2016 reflects excellent momentum in the United States and in Europe. We expect this momentum to spread to the Asia-Pacific region, driven by marketing approval in China, receipt of Innovative Technology status in South Korea, and formation of a strategic partnership in Japan, all in the first quarter of 2016."
