CurveBeam AI commences trading on ASX and provides business update

Highlights
• CurveBeam AI lists on the ASX today under ticker code ‘CVB’ after raising A$25m at A$0.48 per share under its IPO.
• CurveBeam AI is releasing its Appendix 4E to ASX today and has achieved A$11.48m pro forma revenue (unaudited) in FY23, driven by sales of HiRise™. This represents ~55% growth on the prior year with a US sales team of three.
• CurveBeam AI expects its co-marketing and distribution agreement with Stryker Corporation’s (NYSE: SYK) Foot and Ankle division for the US territory, which launched with the Stryker FLEX financing option in May 2023, to drive sales growth going forward through Stryker’s expanded market reach and financing options.
• Since 1 July 2023, Stryker has taken orders for two HiRise™ devices, representing a total of three devices booked or sold year to date by Stryker for calendar year 2023.
• Notably the Company sold and installed a HiRise™ system at the Hospital for Special Surgery located in New York in June 2023, a globally recognised orthopaedic specialty centre.
• The company as of the end of FY23 had 40 HiRise placed globally in hospitals and orthopaedic practices. With the two sales from Stryker so far this FY, and one HiRise sold by the company (Duke University), as of today there are globally 43 HiRise systems either placed or to be placed.
• CurveBeam AI and Stryker continue to work collaboratively to drive sales of the HiRise™ device to hospitals and group orthopaedic practices. The potential addressable market for the HiRise™ device in the US alone is A$10b.
• In addition to targeting sales growth in the US, the Company has recently established a German subsidiary, CurveBeam AI GmbH, to launch direct sales into Germany.
• CurveBeam AI is progressing the development of a CT bone mineral density analysis and reporting software module. Subject to regulatory clearance, the BMD module is targeting to be available to HiRise™ customers as a SaaS product in late FY25 and has the potential to generate future revenues of between A$150-200k per device per annum at a 90%+ gross margin.
• CurveBeam AI has developed an AI diagnostic tool to assess bone fragility and fracture risk called OssView®. In a clinical trial of 2,000 women, OssView® significantly outperformed BMD which is the current gold standard diagnostic (p=0.005). OssView® at the wrist has received Breakthrough Device Designation from the FDA.
• CurveBeam AI has recently published the world’s first application of a deep learning AI (DLAI) algorithm, called OssView® 2, to aid in determining fracture risk using images derived from high resolution peripheral quantitative CT (HR-pQCT) scans of the wrist.
 
...ah, that's better. Settle down

You must have been reading over my shoulder. Just placed CVB into a watchlist for a possible longer term spec position.
 
some gung-ho fund manager reckons there's potential here...
.
Producing weight-bearing scanning machines for orthopedic surgeons to use, he says it can use AI to help surgeons make better informed clinical decisions.

“Scanning patients while standing gives surgeons a better understanding of ligaments and bones, and allows orthopaedic practices to earn money from scans done in their own clinics."
.
so far, not ahead since IPO, but I'd be happy to stand corrected, as should the patients.

• Development and validation of the enhanced HiRise™ is expected to be completed by Q4 FY24 for knees, with hips to follow soon after. This is targeted to satisfy the requirements of several large group orthopaedic practices in the Company’s pipeline and to support a step change in Stryker’s HiRise™ placements in the US.

Half Year Financial Statements Released Period Ended 31 Dec 2023

Executive Summary
o Revenue
o H1 FY2024 revenue was $3.53m, versus $2.18m for the comparative period H1 FY2023, and $5.57m for the pro-forma revenue for H1 FY2023.
o Pro-Forma comparative period included:
§ Deliveries of back orders following the COVID related chip shortage in FY22, clearing in early FY23.
§ Clearance of first and second generation discontinued products.
o HiRise™ orders
o 7 Purchase Orders versus 4 in H1 FY2023.
o Enhanced HiRise™
o The company continues development of an enhanced HiRise™, a higher X-ray energy CT with clearer images for a broader range of patient body types, required for custom protocols for hip and knee robotic surgical systems.
o The enhanced HiRise™ has been targeted to address feedback from group orthopaedic practices in the Company’s US prospect pipeline, who have not been
willing to commit until CurveBeam’s device can deliver the required datasets for keyrobotic surgical systems for knee and hip surgery. Once in place, the enhanced HiRise is expected to bring a step change in orders and adoption.


CurveBeam AI CEO Greg Brown said: “During our first half year as a listed company we have endeavored to respond to our circumstances and preserve cash as much as we can, while expeditiously developing an enhanced HiRise™ to meet market requirements. We continue to get consistent market feedback from orthopaedic surgeons that the HiRise™ offers an appealing solution, for group practice settings, to deliver in one visit a diagnosis and surgical plan. The company expects the enhanced HiRise™ to meet the specifications needed for fabricating custom cut guides for the various body types needed by Patient Specific Instrumentation and robotic surgical systems. The Company continues to target the use of the enhanced HiRise™ datasets in routine Total Knee Replacement planning, including robot assisted procedures by Q4 FY24. With this milestone we are targeting a step change in demand for the HiRise™.”

.... lots of proforma accounts ..
... and issues to "meet the market". It's not IBM
