In a period still characterized by geopolitical tensions and volatile economic conditions, we remain focused on growth and long-term value creation through innovation and sustainability. I am grateful to all our Employees for their commitment and outstanding performance, and I also extend our thanks to our valued Customers and Suppliers for their partnership during these challenging times.”

Revenue by geography and product line

2022 shows strong growth in all geographies, with the strongest growth rate in Europe, where revenue registered an increase of 17.6% on a constant currency basis to Euro 187.4 million. The growth was driven by customer acquisition, together with normalization of surgical activities.

Revenue in North America increased to Euro 136.8 million, or 11.5% on a constant currency basis, thanks to our customer acquisition, which was limited by the impact of Covid-19 and hospital staffing shortages especially in the first months of the year.

Asia Pacific grew by 11.2% on a constant currency basis to Euro 94.4 million, mainly driven by the attainment of new customers in Japan. Australia was limited by significant longer than expected COVID impact, with recovery only in the last months of the year.

RoW registered revenue for Euro 18.6 million, an increase of 38.7% on a constant currency basis, mainly thanks to increased purchases from stocking distributors in Latin America.

Below we report the FY 2022 sales break-down by geographic area:

Revenue from our Hip products increased to Euro 203.6 million, or 9.2% on a constant currency basis; the good momentum was driven by the AMIS® strategy and roll-out of new products in the revision segment.

Our Knee offerings reached Euro 164.5 million, with an increase of 18.4% on a constant currency basis, thanks to the continuous customer acquisition on Kinematic Alignment, Efficiency single-use instruments, GMK® Sphere platform and related MySolution® technologies.

The Extremities business line reported an increase in revenue of 38.8% on a constant currency basis to Euro 27.5 million; the growth was driven by the acquisition of new customers through the completeness of the Medacta Shoulder System, supported by MyShoulder® and NextAR™ MySolution® technologies.

Revenue from our Spine offering increased by 19.2% on a constant currency basis to Euro 41.5 million, driven by the expansion of MIS Platform and MySpine® offering and NextAR Spine in the second semester.
