Diaxonhit: 2015 Consolidated Income: EU29.5 M

PARIS, Jan. 27, 2016 -- DIAXONHIT (Alternext : ALEHT, FR0004054427), a French leader in specialty in vitro diagnostics for transplantation, infectious diseases and cancer, announces that its sales of in vitro diagnostic products increased by 4% and a consolidated income⁽¹⁾ as of December 31, 2015 at €29.5 million, compared to €30.6 million as of December 31, 2014, following the end of the collaboration with Allergan.

Total annual sales of in vitro diagnostic products reached €28.9 million, an increase of 4% compared to sales of €27.9 million recorded for the year 2014. This growth offsets to a large extent the end of the Allergan partnership and the corresponding revenues.

« Despite a French in vitro diagnostic market that was quite affected in 2015 with total yearly industry sales decreasing by 2,9% as of November 30, 2015, our sales of in vitro diagnostic products further increased by 4%. This performance validates our focus on specialty diagnostics, with an innovative product and service offering tailored to rapidly changing medical needs, » said Loïc Maurel, President of Diaxonhit Management Board. « In 2016, our group will be fully focused on specialty diagnostics, with innovative R&D, integrated manufacturing, a dynamic sales force, and the initial commercialization of two new proprietary products, AlloMap and BJI InoPlex, which benefit from new reimbursement systems for innovative tests that were recently introduced by the French Ministry of Health. »
