Third party sterilisation failure

Winsford, UK, 29 November 2019: Advanced Medical Solutions Group plc (AIM: AMS), the surgical and advanced woundcare specialist company, has today been notified by one of its third party medical device sterilisation partners of a failure at one of their UK e-beam sterilisation facilities. Consequently, many of the December orders for the Company's topical adhesive product, Liquiband®, will not be sterilised and shipped to customers during this financial year ending 31 December 2019.

The full financial impact will not be known until after the closing of the financial year but it is potentially up to £2 million of EBITDA.

AMS has been informed by the supplier that they expect to be back in operation from January 2020, at which point the backlog will be addressed.

We do not expect any significant impact on end user sales given the inventories held by our key customers.

AMS expects to announce a post period end trading update in mid January 2020.
