Notes

   1.     All numbers given are for the quarter ended 1 April 2017 unless stated otherwise. 

2. Unless otherwise specified as 'reported' all revenue growth throughout this document is 'underlying' after adjusting for the effects of currency translation and including the comparative impact of acquisitions and excluding disposals. All percentages compare to the equivalent 2016 period.

Underlying revenue growth is used to compare the revenue in a given period to the comparative period on a like-for-like basis. Underlying revenue growth reconciles to reported revenue growth, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with IFRS, by making adjustments for the effect of acquisitions and disposals and the impact of movements in exchange rates (currency impact), as described below.

The effect of acquisitions and disposals measures the impact on revenue from newly acquired material business combinations and recent material business disposals. This is calculated by comparing the current year, constant currency actual revenue (which include acquisitions and exclude disposals from the relevant date of completion) with prior year, constant currency actual revenue, adjusted to include the results of acquisitions and exclude disposals for the commensurate period in the prior year.

Currency impact measures the increase/decrease in revenue resulting from currency movements on non-US Dollar sales and is measured as the difference between: 1) the increase/decrease in current year revenue translated into US Dollars at the current year average rate and the prior year revenue translated at the prior year average rate; and 2) the increase/decrease being measured by translating current and prior year revenue into US Dollars using a constant fixed rate.

Forward calendar

Smith & Nephew's H1 results will be released on 27 July 2017.

First quarter trading update

First quarter revenue was $1,142 million (2016: $1,137 million), flat on a reported basis with foreign exchange a -1% headwind and the disposal of the Gynaecology business last year a -2% headwind. Underlying revenue growth was therefore 3%, in-line with our full year guidance.

Q1 2017 comprised 64 trading days, the same number as Q1 2016.

Unless otherwise specified as 'reported' all revenue growth rates throughout this document are underlying increases/decreases after adjusting for the effects of currency translation and including the comparative impact of acquisitions and excluding disposals.

Regional performance

Revenue grew 1% in the Established Markets in the quarter, with the US and Other Established Markets both up 1%. In Europe we are making progress improving our execution, although the slight headwinds seen last year in some European countries continued.

Performance in the Emerging Markets was good, returning to double-digit growth, with China growing 14% in the quarter.

Franchise highlights

Sports Medicine Joint Repair had a good quarter, growing revenue 7% over the same period in 2016, driven by demand for our shoulder repair portfolio. In Arthroscopic Enabling Technologies revenue fell -1% with continued softness in mechanical resection. The roll-out of our LENS visualisation and WEREWOLF COBLATION systems are underway and we expect an increasing contribution from these exciting new products across the year.

Trauma & Extremities revenue was up 5%, the best quarter of growth for two years. This reflects both the annualisation of the reduced tender activity in the oil-dependent Gulf States and a good quarter of growth from our TRIGEN INTERTAN hip fracture system where new clinical evidence continues to support increased uptake.

Other Surgical Businesses grew revenue by 7%. This is slightly slower than recent quarters following a softer performance in Ear, Nose & Throat ('ENT'), the larger business within this franchise. Capital sales of the NAVIO robotics-assisted surgery system are included in this franchise. Our Total Knee Application for NAVIO was well received when we previewed it at the Annual American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons meeting in March. This is expected to enter full market release for our JOURNEY II, LEGION and GENESIS II Total Knee Systems in Q2 2017.

In Reconstruction, our Knee Implants franchise grew strongly, with revenue up 5%. This was underpinned by continued high demand for our JOURNEY II Total Knee System. In Hip Implants revenue was flat. We expect the benefits of the investments in the REDAPT Revision System and POLARSTEM Cementless Stem System to increasingly contribute to growth through 2017.

In Advanced Wound Care revenue was up 1%. Strong growth in the US, led by demand for the ALLEVYN range of foam dressings, was offset by the continuing destocking in China and expected weakness in some European markets. After the quarter end we signed a worldwide distribution agreement for MolecuLight i:X(TM) , a handheld point-of-care imaging device that uses fluorescence imaging to display potentially harmful concentrations of bacteria in wounds in real-time.

Advanced Wound Bioactives revenue was down -8%, in-line with our internal forecasts, as SANTYL continued to see quarterly variation driven by distributor stocking patterns. We expect SANTYL to benefit from new analysis demonstrating its effectiveness in treating pressure ulcers, supporting a better performance in the second half of the year.

Revenue in Advanced Wound Devices was up 16%, with our disposable negative pressure wound therapy ('NPWT') device PICO continuing to perform very well. During the quarter we made a strategic investment and signed a distribution agreement with Leaf Healthcare, a developer of a unique wireless patient monitoring system for pressure ulcer/injury prevention. Leaf is highly complementary to our pressure ulcer treatment portfolio including ALLEVYN Life dressings and SECURA skin care products, allowing us to offer hospitals a solution for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers and injuries.

Outlook

Our full year outlook for underlying revenue growth in the 3%-4% range and a 20-70bps improvement in Trading profit margin remains unchanged.

On a reported basis, we expect 2017 revenue growth to be in the range of 1.6%-2.6% based on prevailing exchange rates at the end of April and reflecting the 80bps headwind from the disposal of the Gynaecology business.

Over the last few years we have successfully put in place the right structures and capabilities to make the Group stronger, simpler, more agile and efficient. We continue to focus on execution and expect to see progress through the year.
