Update on Ventilator Delivery to the NHS

Inspiration Healthcare Group plc (AIM: IHC), the global medical technology company is pleased to provide a further update on the status for the delivery of ventilators as the UK National Health Service demand for Covid ventilators likely diminishes, the Group continues to satisfy the orders received from the UK National Health Service announced on the 16(th) and 20(th) March 2020 with a value totalling approximately GBP5 million. In the last few days the Company delivered a further GBP1million of the orders, taking the total amount delivered under these contracts to GBP3 million.

On the 11(th) August 2020, the Company gave an update on trading stating that underlying revenues (ie prior to any contribution from S.L.E. or Covid opportunities) for the Group in the first six months were running 30% ahead of last year, with a healthy order book in place. This strong performance continues and, in addition, the recently acquired S.L.E. has, in the last few days, also delivered over GBP0.5 million of ventilators to the NHS as part of a separate order they had received. The integration of S.L.E. into the Group is progressing according to plan and is providing the significant short and long term commercial synergies expected by management.

Neil Campbell, Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We have continued to work tirelessly with our partners to get the ventilators into the UK and delivered to the NHS. At the same time, I'm pleased to report that the Company is trading well across all its operations and we are working well with our colleagues at S.L.E. to integrate the two businesses and also at Viomedex, which means that we remain optimistic of our continued progress for this financial year and beyond."
