LONDON (Alliance News) - Surgical Innovations Group PLC warned Friday it expects full-year profit and revenue to be significant below market expectations as the group is hit by a number of issues.
The group said a continued fall in original-equipment-manufacturer (OEM) revenue and slower-than-expected revenue from its US dealer network, in combination with the decision made by the group to cut inventories in the customer supply chain, means it expects full-year profit and revenue to fall significant below market forecasts.
In addition, the group said that given the challenging trading environment, it will focus on the growth of its brand, cash conversion and OEM products which add value to its brand. As a result of this strategic shift, the group will book an exceptional non-cash impairment charge of GBP2.2 million.
Surgical Innovations said it will post its half-year results on September 25.
