Karim Bitar, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"We have made a good start to the year, continuing to deliver
for our customers and patients. In addition, we effectively
executed on our strategy, notably with the acquisition of Cure
Medical which strengthens our position as a leading developer and
manufacturer of continence care products in the large and growing
US market place."
"We are making good progress and remain focused on executing on
the significant number of strategic initiatives underway as we
continue on our journey to pivot to sustainable and profitable
growth. Despite the near term uncertainties, I remain confident in
ConvaTec's growth prospects."

Advanced Wound Care r evenue of $143 million increased 8.8% on a
reported basis and 3.8% in constant currency. The business
experienced a 5.0% currency tailwind given the proportion of
non-dollar sales and the relative movements in FX. Adjusting for
the disposal of the US Skincare products, which contributed $6.8m
of revenue in Q1'20, organic growth was 9.4%. We saw particularly
strong growth in Global Emerging Markets as we strengthen our
commercial execution across Asia and Latin America. There was
strong growth in Europe helped by some beneficial phasing and
enhanced by a relatively soft Q1 2020 comparative. In North America
we experienced some continued softness, in part a function of the
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic coupled with a tougher comparative given
the inventory building we saw in Q1 2020.
Ostomy Care revenue of $136 million increased 6.7% on a reported
basis and 3.0% on constant currency and organic bases. We achieved
strong growth in Global Emerging Markets. There was modest growth
in North America, with favorable phasing and growth in HSG Ostomy
helping to offset the relatively strong comparatives. These
positive performances were partially offset by a decline in Europe
given continued rationalisation and the inventory build-up we saw
in Q1 2020.
Continence & Critical Care revenue of $128 million increased
7.4% on a reported basis and 5.6% in constant currency. After
adjusting for the Cure Medical acquisition, which contributed $1.3
million of incremental revenue during the period, revenues rose
4.5% on an organic basis. Despite lower new patient starts across
the segment in 2020, Continence Care achieved moderate growth.
Demand for Critical Care products remained strong, up 7.5% in
constant currency during the quarter, although the performance
turned negative during the period as expected given strong COVID-19
related sales in 2020.
Infusion Care revenue of $93 million increased 13.9% on a
reported basis or 11.7% on constant currency and organic bases.
This was primarily driven by continued strong demand from diabetes
customers for our innovative infusion sets supported by growth in
non-diabetes, albeit off a small base. In April Medtronic announced
the launch, in selected European markets, of our new and
proprietary extended wear infusion set.
Strategic Transformation
We have continued to make progress implementing our FISBE
strategy, most notably with the acquisition of Cure Medical
LLC.
On 15(th) March we acquired the business (on a cash free/debt
free basis) for $85 million(3) . B ased in California the business
develops, manufactures and distributes intermittent catheters.
Bringing together Cure Medical and ConvaTec's Continence Care
business allows us to better serve continence customers in the US,
which accounts for the largest demand for such products in the
world. The two portfolios are complementary; together we will offer
a more comprehensive range of continence products and services for
patients and our partners to better serve their broad range of
needs. Had ConvaTec owned Cure Medical for the whole of 2020 it
would have contributed an incremental c.$32 million of revenue.
Outlook
Given the continuing macro uncertainties at this early point in
the year and relatively tougher comparatives in the second half,
our guidance remains unchanged with organic(1) revenue growth of
3-4.5% and a constant currency(2) adjusted EBIT margin of
18-19.5%.
