Operational overview

Creo delivered a strong trading performance in 2025. Revenues were up 50% supported by continued clinical adoption of Creo's products by new users and increased demand from existing users as utilisation increased. 

The Company's core product portfolio, with a growing range of clinical applications and proven benefits for patients and healthcare practitioners, is gaining commercial momentum. In particular:

Resection:

· Speedboat® Notch continues to see increased use in advanced procedures, including upper GI per-oral endoscopic myotomies (POEMs), which have favourable reimbursement in major markets. There was also increased use in GI resection procedures, which are expected to benefit from reimbursement codes in the USA from 2027.

· Following regulatory clearance and its commercial launch in the US, UK and EU during the year, the reception of Creo's SpydrBlade™ Flex device has been encouraging.

Ablation

· MicroBlate™ Flex continued to be employed in multiple studies to treat lung tumours, with commercial sales from the initial sites now coming through.

· A limited market release of MicroBlate™ Fine has taken place in key research sites in Europe, APAC and the USA, where clinical data will be collected for the treatment of lesions in the pancreas and liver.

There is growing recognition amongst leading clinicians of the benefits of Creo's innovative products. This is reflected in a growing body of papers, abstracts and case studies. A selection of these can be accessed through Creo's Clinical Resources bibliography at:

The Company's vision is to improve patient outcomes through the development and commercialisation of a suite of electrosurgical medical devices, each enabled by CROMA, powered by Kamaptive. The Group has developed the CROMA powered by Kamaptive full-spectrum adaptive technology to optimise surgical capability and patient outcomes. Kamaptive is a seamless, intuitive integration of multi-modal energy sources, optimised to dynamically adapt to patient tissue during procedures such as resection, dissection, coagulation, and ablation of tissue. Kamaptive technology provides clinicians with increased flexibility, precision and controlled surgical solutions. CROMA currently delivers bipolar radiofrequency ("RF") energy for precise localised cutting and focused high frequency microwave ("MW") energy for controlled coagulation and ablation via a single accessory port. This technology, combined with the Group's range of patented electrosurgical devices, is designed to provide clinicians with flexible, accurate and controlled clinical solutions. The Directors believe the Company's technology can impact the landscape of surgery and endoscopy by providing a safer, less invasive and more cost-efficient option for procedures.
