*Press Release
2019 GUIDANCE REVISION*
_CASTEL SAN PIETRO_, _5 December 2019_ - Medacta Group SA announces a
revision of the full year guidance.
The company continues to expand, achieving strong revenue growth well above
the market growth rate while maintaining a high profitability level.
Following an unexpected weak demand in the US and in some minor markets
covered by distributors, the overall growth rate in November was below
expectations, 8% compared to 17% of the same period of last year. This
performance changed the scenario of the year-end forecasted results.
Accordingly, the year-end 2019 guidance is as follows:
- *Revenue*: reported growth in the range of 12-14%, equal to 10-12% on a
constant currency basis (previously equal to 13-17%)
- *Adjusted EBITDA*: approximately 30% +/-1% (previously 32% +/-1%)
- *Change in Net Working Capital*: 5-7% of total revenue (maintained)
- *CapEx*: 12-15% of total revenue (previously 10-12%)
We expect that this revision on full year performance does not affect the
mid-term performance.
Medacta is planning to report preliminary unaudited top-line figures on 21
January 2020 and full-year 2019 results on 6 April 2020.
