Chairman of SI, Jonathan Glenn, said:
"Revenues in the period to 30 June 2023 have continued to grow
and strengthen, with key markets showing positive growth which we
expect to continue for the remainder of the year. New geographical
territories have been slower than anticipated but are now gaining
traction. Our OEM business is back on track after a challenging H1
with the backlog of orders addressed in the period since the
half-year end and the supply chain delays resolved for these
activities. Overall, the revenue prospects for the Group are
encouraging.
"Despite recently reported operational challenges with
manufacturing productivity and supply chain disruptions, we are
confident the measures being implemented will help overcome these.
We have engaged an industry specialist to lead this project which
is well underway, and we expect to see significant benefits flowing
though into the P&L during the first half of the next financial
year."

About Surgical Innovations Group plc
Strategy
The Group specialises in the design, manufacture, sale and
distribution of innovative, high quality medical products,
primarily for use in minimally invasive surgery. Our product and
business development is guided and supported by a key group of
nationally and internationally renowned surgeons across the
spectrum of minimally invasive surgical activity.
We design and manufacture and source our branded port access
systems, surgical instruments and retraction devices which are sold
directly in the UK home market through our subsidiary, Elemental
Healthcare, and exported widely through a global network of trusted
distribution partners. Many of our products in this field are based
on a
"resposable" concept, in which the products are part reusable,
part disposable, offering a high quality and environmentally
responsible solution at a cost that is competitive against fully
disposable alternatives.
Elemental also has exclusive UK distribution for a select group
of specialist products employed in laparoscopy, bariatric and
metabolic surgery, hernia repair and breast reconstruction. In
addition, we design and develop medical devices for carefully
selected OEM partners. We have a number of long-term relationships
with key partner including the design, development and manufacture
of the FIX8 device for AMS and more recently for a new
collaboration with a Robotic company, CMR Surgical ('CMR') to
design and develop and access device for their unique
instrumentation.
We aim for our brands to be recognised and respected by
healthcare professionals in all major geographical markets in which
we operate and provide by development, partnership or acquisition a
broad portfolio of cost effective,
procedure specific surgical instruments and implantable devices
that offer reliable solutions to genuine clinical needs in the
operating theatre environment.
Operations
The Group currently employs approximately 100 people across one
site in the UK. Elemental Healthcare was acquired by the Group on 1
August 2017 and provides direct sales representation in the UK home
market and a range of third- party products for UK distribution.
Elemental was originally based in Berkshire and was successfully
relocated in 2021, with all operations now located at the Leeds
site.

Surgical Innovations Group plc Chairman's Statement
For the six-month period ended 30 June 2023
Market and Financial Overview
The Group recorded strong revenue growth in 2022 and we have
seen this continue, trading in the first half of the year increased
4.4% to GBP5.65m on the comparable period last year (2022 H1:
GBP5.41m). Sales continue to strengthen in the second half of the
year and remain on track to meet management's expectations.
The UK business continues to be strong which is driven by the
sustainability messaging, having a positive impact on activity.
SI-branded product sales were GBP0.92m (2022 H1: GBP0.68m) and UK
distribution sales were GBP2.11m (2022 H1: GBP2.01m), together up
12.7%. This will continue to grow as the NHS pushes its focus
sustainability and the implementation of its 'Net Zero' commitment
and implements measures to address the increasing backlog of
patients on waiting lists.
In Europe, the increased investment in sales and marketing is
starting to gain traction, achieving underlying sales growth of
18.2% which delivered revenue of GBP0.69m (2022 H1: GBP0.59m).
Despite being hindered by missed opportunities in component delays
with the new Optical trocar, this is expected to gain traction with
new business wins in the second half.
Revenues from the US are progressing more slowly than planned,
marginally lower than the comparable period for SI-branded products
as the first half decreased to GBP0.48m (2022 H1: GBP0.59m).
Progress with YelloPort Elite was slower than anticipated, but
increased focus, training and sales support has seen momentum
gained through the conversion of a number of smaller accounts in
H1.
The APAC region continued to generate strong revenue growth to
GBP0.54m, an 11.8% increase (2022 H1: GBP0.48m). The majority of
the growth was from our Japanese distributor as they continue to
gain market share, despite having delays with product registration
with the 5mm Elite launch. The launch is now expected in Q4, and
this presents a significant future opportunity. In addition, the
initial orders for India were sent out in the first half of the
year and we are encouraged by the initial interest from early
evaluations.
OEM revenues have endured the majority of challenges with supply
chain delays, with reported revenues of GBP0.68m (2022 H1:
GBP0.92m). Notwithstanding this, the order book remains strong for
the remainder of the year and the manufacturing disruption is
starting to ease for these product lines.
Commercial or underlying margins remained just within target
range at 40.5% (2022 H1: 45.3%, 2022 FY: 42.6 %). At the end of
2022 a review was undertaken to analyse the overhead absorption
rate, as operating expenses had continued to increase with
inflationary pressures, the overhead rate was uplifted, in addition
the pressures from material suppliers continue. A series of planned
price increases has been implemented across the period however,
some of these will be phased in over time due to the fixed term
nature of contractual agreements.
The reported gross margin of just under 33.0% (2022 H1: 34.6%,
2022 FY: 34.6%) includes the net cost of manufacturing, reflecting
the operational challenges the business continues to experience.
Manufacturing productivity and supply chain disruptions will impact
profitability in the second half of the year, as reported in the
recent trading update. A complete operational review of both
manufacturing operations and supply chain is currently being
undertaken, utilising an industry specialist. While measures are
already being introduced to improve efficiencies and productivity,
we expect the majority of the benefit to flow through to the
P&L in the next financial year.
Other operating expenses increased to GBP2.17m (2022 H1:
GBP1.93), driven by additional investment in Sales and Marketing to
enhance revenue and continued investment in regulatory costs due
the change in certification to Medical Device Regulation (MDR). In
addition, the inflationary pressure in employee remuneration has
continued to impact profitability. Excluding the effects of
non-recurring items and share based payments, operating expenses
increased by GBP0.26m to GBP2.14m (2022 H1: 1.88m). The Group is
trading at an adjusted EBITDA profit for the period of GBP0.01m
(2022 H1: GBP0.29m). The full effect of these additional costs will
impact the second half of the year, but management expects the
Group will continue to be profitable at the adjusted EBITDA level,
as a result of the operational review initiatives starting to be
implemented.
Adjusted operating loss before tax for the period (before
non-recurring items and share based payment charges) was GBP0.28m
(2022 H1: GBP0.01m). The reported net loss before taxation amounted
to GBP0.37m against a net loss before taxation of GBP0.11m in the
first half last year.
The Group reported a tax credit in the period of GBPnil (2022
H1: GBP0.09m) which related to an enhanced research and development
("R&D") claim for 2021. The Group received a tax credit of
GBP0.22m in August 2023, relating to its claim for 2022. In terms
of deferred tax, the Group continues to hold substantial
corporation tax losses on which management takes a cautious view,
and consequently the Group does not recognise a corresponding
deferred tax asset.
Adjusted net earnings per share amounted to a loss of 0.037p
(2022 H1: GBP0.004p). The net total comprehensive income for the
period amounted to a loss of GBP0.37m (2022 H1: loss of
GBP0.01m).
For the first half of 2023, cash used in operations was GBP0.07m
(FY 2022: GBP0.23m generated, 2022 H1: GBP0.22m generated). After
continued investment into R&D of GBP0.12m (FY 2022: GBP0.42m,
2022 H1: GBP0.17m), capital expenditure of GBP0.18m (FY 2022:
GBP0.66m, 2022 H1: GBP0.19m) and the refinancing of the existing
bank loan and lease liabilities, the Company had available cash
balances, including the unused invoice discounting facility of
GBP1.0m, totalling GBP2.41m (31 Dec 2022: GBP3.20m). The covenant
test (EBITDA to debt service) for the period ending 30 June 2023
was waived by the lender, they remain fully supportive with
approval obtained to waive the next two debt service covenant tests
dated 30 September 2023 and 31 December 2023.
Market outlook
The UK continues to demonstrate strong growth underpinned by the
sustainability messaging, highlighted by the growth in SI-branded
products, and has opened opportunities in both the NHS and private
sectors where the drive to 'Net Zero' is gaining momentum. Whilst
industrial action by clinical staff has impacted both the volume of
surgery and pace of evaluations, the UK business has proved to be
resilient and continues to show growth into Q3. The UK sales team
is at full strength and has benefited from a new enhanced training
programme, which will also be rolled out to support all of our
international partners over the coming months.
Sustainability messaging initiatives continue to drive sales in
many key markets and the ongoing investment in sales support,
marketing, training and development of the financial &
environmental calculator have proved to be powerful tools in
driving growth. APAC has continued to demonstrate growth and the
delayed launch of Elite 5mm and Optical, now expected in late Q4,
provides further opportunity before the year-end. Progress in
Europe has quickened, with sales in H1 above pre-Covid levels for
the first time, with sustainability a key driver and continuing to
provide opportunities in H2.
Revised targeting and incentive plans for the US sales team have
already seen an increase in the number of active evaluations with
the potential to drive sales from Q4 and beyond. Long-term partner,
Adler Instruments, continues to have a strong business
opportunities, however outside of the Southeast the consortium of
distributors has proven to be disappointing. The Company continues
to review the most effective routes to market for its scissor
sales.
Investment in new product development has continued and a number
of projects remain close to fruition. The YelloPort Elite family
was enhanced with the launch of the 5mm Optical and, whilst some
registration delays have slowed the launch in key markets, it is
expected these registrations will be completed to allow a Q4 launch
in the majority of key markets feedback from important markets has
identified the opportunity for a further line extension in the form
of a shielded cutting trocar specifically in Gynaecology. Under the
new MDR approved quality management system we have been able to
accelerate the development of this device and anticipate a launch
in late Q4. Some supply chain delays have slowed progress on the
Logi Dissect and Grasp instruments for which launch is now planned
in the earlier part of 2024. Investment in new product development
continues to build on the sustainability message.
Underlying revenues in the OEM segment continued throughout H1
to be suppressed, not by demand, but due to supply chain
constraints. Alternate suppliers of some key components to address
delays have taken substantially longer to come online. These
challenges slowed sales in the first half of the year, but a
significant improvement has been seen since the end of the first
half. Collaborations with CMR have moved to a new phase, and take
sales out of the OEM segment, leveraging the relationship with CMR
to open opportunity for SI's global partners to introduce YelloPort
Elite for both robotic and conventional laparoscopic cases. This
has substantially sped up the number and volume of evaluations in
two new markets, India and Germany.
Operational and Regulatory activities
The reduction in the Supply chain disruptions has not been as
fast as anticipated, leading to a delay to some sales orders into
the second half as a result. This has also led to higher levels of
inventory being held, though this is now reducing and is expected
to return to more normalised volumes over the coming months,
returning cash into the business.
The regulatory pathway continues to be on track for the EU
Medical Device Regulation (MDR), although the delay in implementing
the transition to MDR has seen the focus of the notified body move
to other, more current priorities. The Company's Quality Management
System, technical files and microbiology data have been made
compliant with MDR, audited by BSI and fully approved. Progress on
the product technical files continues with 2 out of 3 approved for
MDR, and the final file has clinical review in progress. UKCA mark
has been achieved and a further Medical Device Single Audit Program
(MDSAP) audit successfully completed.
Current trading and outlook
Group revenues have continued to grow in H2 in line with the
Board's expectations, with key markets and OEM in particular
performing strongly. Manufacturing challenges continue to be
addressed, to manage the impact of increased supply chain lead
times and the increasing cost base. An operational plan to improve
productivity and margins continues to be implemented with the help
of an industry operational expert.
The momentum in sales has continued into H2 and the order book
remains positive, leaving management confident of the H2 revenue
forecast. A robust operational plan will begin to drive
efficiencies and margins, the majority of the impact of which will
be seen from 2024 onwards.

Notes to the Interim Financial Information
1. Basis of preparation of interim financial information
The interim financial information was approved by the Board of
Directors on 18 September 2023. The financial information set out
in the interim report is unaudited.
The interim financial information has been prepared in
accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies and on a basis
consistent with the accounting policies and methods of computation
as published by the Group in its annual report for the year ended
31 December 2022, which is available on the Group's website.
The Group has chosen not to adopt IAS 34 Interim Financial
Statements in preparing these interim financial statements and
therefore the interim financial information is not in full
compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards as
adopted for use in the European Union.
The financial information set out in this interim report does
not constitute statutory financial statements as de- fined in
section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. The figures for the year
ended 31 December 2022 have been extracted from the statutory
financial statements which have been filed with the Registrar of
Companies. The auditor's report on those financial statements was
unqualified and did not contain a statement under sections 498(2)
and 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
Going concern and funding
The Directors have considered the available cash resources of
the Group, with the additional secured funding in September 2023
and the current internal anticipated forecasts the Directors have a
reasonable expectation that the Group have adequate resources. The
Group is expected to continue to generate cash from operations over
the next 12 months as inventory levels reduce and operational
efficiencies improve, therefore providing ample support and
continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future,
considered to be at least 12 months for the date of approval from
the financial statements.

Underlying gross margin (excluding net costs of manufacturing)
is an adjusted KPI measure. Nets costs of Manufacturing are
overheads that have not been effectively absorbed due to reduced
productivity.
Adjusted KPIs are used by the Board to understand underlying
performance and exclude items which distort comparability. The
method of adjustments are consistently applied but are not defined
in International Financial Reporting

number of shares in issue. Diluted earnings per share is calculated
by dividing the earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders by
the diluted weighted average number of shares in issue. Adjusted
Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the adjusted earnings
attributable to ordinary shareholders (profit before non-recurring
costs, amortisation, impairment costs and share based payments) by
the weighted average number of shares in issue.

been taken into account and therefore the diluted
earnings per share is equal to the basic earnings per share.

being share options issued to Directors and
employees. The impact of dilutive potential ordinary shares on
the calculation of weighted average number of shares is set out
