Revenio is a global provider of comprehensive eye care diagnostic solutions. The group offers fast, user-friendly, and reliable tools for diagnosing glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration (AMD). Revenio’s ophthalmic diagnostic solutions include intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement devices (tonometers), fundus imaging devices, and perimeters as well as software solutions under the iCare brand.

In 2023, the Group’s net sales totaled EUR 96.6 million, with an operating profit of EUR 26.3 million. Revenio Group Corporation is listed on Nasdaq Helsinki with the trading code REG1V.

Strategically speaking, using its own shares to acquire a smart OCT firm would obviously make sense. The target could be in that EUR 200+ M valuation range. It would result in dilution for current shareholders, but we would certainly have quite a strong player on our hands.

This is a bit tricky to answer, as acquisitions can of course be financed in many ways. But if we ignore share issues and using their own shares for now, Revenio’s balance sheet could very conservatively withstand at least 2x EBITDA in pure debt. That would be around 60 MEUR, if you trust our 2026 forecast. If they buy an entity that is already generating good cash flow, 3x would probably still be relatively painless, but then the focus would need to be on reducing the debt level. So perhaps something like 100 MEUR could be feasible for a strategically important acquisition that also directly generates more cash flow. In that case, the debt-servicing capacity would also directly improve. 4x would then be a risky level, at least in my opinion, and the market would probably start pricing in some degree of financial risk. And I don’t believe that the traditionally conservative Revenio would take on such large amounts of debt. But Revenio does have a lot of room to maneuver as such, because profitability is strong and cash flows are fundamentally good.

Yeah, my AI detector saw it in Jouni’s eyes in the interview that OCT will be in Reve’s portfolio within the current year : ) Juha’s extensive report stated just over a year ago: “In our view, the most obvious area for expanding Revenio’s device offering is Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), which belongs to the imaging market. This accounts for about 500 MEUR of the roughly 1.3 billion dollar imaging market, and Revenio currently has no offering in this segment. We expect Revenio to grow into this area in the medium term either through its own product development (extremely challenging) or through an acquisition (valuation levels are high). Expansion through an acquisition could even be rapid if the pieces fall into place.” Gemini gave an even bolder estimate: “The global size of the ophthalmology optical coherence tomography (OCT) market is estimated to be in 2026 approximately 1.61 – 2.19 billion dollars. Ophthalmology applications make up the largest part of the total OCT device market, and their share is estimated at approximately 69.2 %” In light of these figures, it’s pretty clear that Reve should get a device too, especially since the OCT market’s share of the whole pie also seems to be in strong growth. Exciting year ahead. Apparently, those ongoing US customs etc. messes have weighed on the valuations of Reve and Opto as well. Both still have fairly decent growth figures.

It would certainly be an excellent fit for Revenio. The company in question has an interesting story, as it was listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange from 2008 to 2010, when Canon bought the company and delisted it. In 2014, the founding family bought the company back from Canon. Their OCT devices are known for their ease of use, just like Revenio’s iCare.

Four years ago, I was looking into OCT players and wrote here, when the share price was over EUR 40, that Optopol from Poland would be the best fit for Revenio’s product portfolio and could be acquired through a share swap. It is just over a third of Revenio’s size. Time has passed, but I still think it’s a perfect fit. Let’s hope for the best.

Acquiring OCT technology in one way or another would certainly be a great addition to Revenio’s product portfolio. Don’t Thirona’s AI algorithms analyze specifically OCT images? So, Revenio currently owns the “intelligent brains,” but doesn’t own the “eye” used to take the OCT images. After this, they would have the entire value chain and the data it produces pretty well in-house. It’ll be interesting to see what happens. I’d imagine we won’t have to wait very long for any strategic moves. Hopefully

Rumor has it that the OYS eye clinic has studied and found Revenio’s Thirona to be effective in screening for retinopathy, maculopathy, and apparently glaucoma as well. It was disappointing to hear that OCT was used in the studies with Thirona—well, obviously—but Revenio doesn’t HAVE such a device. @Von_Wangell

<p>Revenio’s investor story remains interesting, as the strategy’s next phase begins after the acquisition of CenterVue. The core business continues to grow very profitably, the underlying market has strong structural growth drivers, and the products have exceptionally strong competitive advantages. Revenio has also shown over the years how capable they are in value creation through investments into product development, structural transitions, and long-term growth development projects.</p>
