  • The hardware configuration business was down in relation to Q3 2022, reflecting notably completion of the technical compliance campaign for the installed base combined with the rollout of Ségur functionalities.
  • The economic environment impacted by inflation and rising operating costs, combined with a financial context unfavourable for investment, also adversely impacted equipment purchases by pharmacies, including for electronic labels.
  • Driven by the success of new offerings, and in particular messaging, mobility and back-up solutions, sales of licenses and services remain buoyant.
  • Recurring revenue continue to show strong growth.
  • This Division accounted for 74 % of Equasens Group's total revenue.

• The AXIGATE LINK Division had revenues of €7.4m, up 6% on Q3 2022. Revenue for the first 9 months rose 6% to €22.3m.
  • The Division is continuing to grow in its historical market segments of nursing homes and hospital-at-home care.

  • Once again, the Division registered a very good performance for the quarter: Mobility solutions have been a genuine success, made possible by the Division's ability to meet the challenges of production capacity and component sourcing.

  • This decline in revenue reflects the end of Medistory 4 license sales in H1 linked to the Ségur rollout initiated in Q3 2022.
  • Today, the Division is offering a new subscription-based version of its Médistory software representing a source of recurring revenue.
  • This Division accounted for 4 % of Equasens Group's total revenue.

2023 outlook

• Excluding the comparison base effect from the end of the Ségur deployment in 2022 and its exceptional contribution to revenue, growth momentum of the PHARMAGEST Division's remains solid.
• The AXIGATE LINK and e-CONNECT Divisions are also confident that their growth levels will remain strong for the remainder of the year.
• The MEDICAL SOLUTIONS Division is currently restructuring its offering and organization in order to enhance its performance.
