Positive data, H117 results and forecasts update

Allium has announced that Gardia Medical’s Wirion device has met the primary endpoint of its clinical trial, an important milestone for strategic partnering discussions. In other news, on 13 August Allium reported H117 financial results, with revenues down 5.7% y-o-y to NIS3.7m. The company has also announced approval of its prostatic and urethral stents in Mexico and expects to launch sales in H217. However, registration of Allium Stents and IBI Medical in Russia is taking longer than expected due to a lengthier and more complex regulatory process. We note that regional expansion is crucial for the company’s investment case in the long run. Updated for the recent newsflow, our valuation of Allium is now NIS1.89/share.
