* Figures reviewed by the statutory auditors

Over the fourth quarter of 2016, STENTYS recorded revenues of almost €2.0 million, an increase of +5% compared with the fourth quarter of 2015. This limited growth rate was notably due to the commercial reorganization undertaken during the second half of 2016 in order to benefit from a more operational structure in 2017.

Over 2016 as a whole, revenues were up +20%, at €7.3 million.

Solid cash position of €17 million as a result of the €12.6 million rights issue and cost reductions

At December 31, 2016, STENTYS had a cash position of €17 million, versus €10.7 million at December 31, 2015, due firstly to the rights issue carried out in February 2016 and secondly to the cost reductions achieved over the second half of the year thanks to the reorganization of certain operational functions initiated in July.

Recomposition of the Board of Directors

On the initiative of the Chairman of the Board of Directors, and within the context of the refocusing of STENTYS' activities on high-potential markets in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America, the Company's two North American Directors, Mrs. Dianne Blanco and Mr. Michael Lesh, have stood down from the Board.

Christophe Lottin, Chief Executive Officer, comments: "We recorded annual growth of 20% in 2016, while reorganizing STENTYS' operational and commercial functions in the fourth quarter in order to better meet market expectations and maintain our cash position. In 2017, our ambition will be to accelerate our growth by maximizing the adoption of our stents by cardiologists in Europe and high-potential countries while continuing to control our operating costs."

Upcoming financial publication

STENTYS expects to publish its 2016 annual results on Wednesday March 22, 2017
