Medical	66.7	60.0	+11%	+9%

The LUMIBIRD Group’s consolidated revenues came to €124.9m at September 30, 2022, up 8% like-for-like and at constant exchange rates. Due to the strong increase in the dollar over the period, revenue growth based on reported data rose to 11% for the first nine months of the year.

Over nine months, the Photonics and Medical divisions both progressed at the same rate, with the third quarter seeing slightly quicker business growth for the Medical division (+11% to €21.3m) than Photonics (+9% to €19.6m).

The increase in revenues for the Photonics division is linked to the third-quarter growth (+8% to €9.0m) for the Industrial and Scientific business (+4% over nine months to €26.3m), while the Lidar business was stable in the third quarter (+2% to €5.4m) following a very strong second quarter (+29% over nine months to €16.4m), and the third quarter’s growth (+18% to €5.2m) for the Defense / Space business (+6% over nine months to €15.4m). The integration of the Defense Rangefinder business (previously Saab) into Lumibird Photonics Sweden contributed €0.9m to revenues in the third quarter, with €1.2m since it was integrated at the end of May 2022.

The Defense / Space business (with the phasing of contracts and the integration of Sweden) and the Lidar business will strongly support the Photonics division’s robust development in the fourth quarter of 2022.

The Medical division is continuing to benefit from an acceleration in its sales across all the geographies. The strengthening of the sales and marketing teams, the extension of the product range to include buoyant markets, thanks in particular to the launch of CSTIM for dry eye treatment, and the achievement of several certifications and registrations support this positive trend.

As each year at the same period, based on the order book and delivery schedule, fourth-quarter revenues are expected to be significantly higher than the previous three quarters. (€49.8m of revenues for the fourth quarter of 2021 excluding Lumibird Photonics Sweden).

The Group is putting everything in place to achieve its 2022 revenue target in line with the consensus, against a backdrop of difficulties with supply chains, sourcing and rising costs (strong inflation, particularly for electronics).
