Mauna Kea Technologies Posts 44% H1 Sales Growth on Cellvizio Expansion
Event summary
- H1 2026 sales reached €3.2M, up 44% at constant exchange rates (+39% as reported), driven by Cellvizio adoption in pancreatic cysts and CellTolerance expansion.
- CellTolerance revenue surged +142% YoY, with EMEA & ROW sales up +261%, supported by direct patient-pay model penetration in new markets (UAE, Switzerland, Spain).
- U.S. probe sales grew +33% CER, with pricing power strengthening as average discounting fell from 23% to 10% on AQ-Flex.
- Company secured €4M shareholder loan facility in July 2026, extending financial visibility beyond 2027.
The big picture
Mauna Kea's strong H1 performance reflects strategic bets on high-value indications (pancreatic cysts) and a scalable commercial model for CellTolerance. The €4M loan facility underscores investor confidence in the company's trajectory, but execution risks remain tied to U.S. system sales volatility and international expansion pacing. The broader shift toward real-time cellular imaging in gastroenterology positions Mauna Kea as a key player in a $25B+ therapeutic market.
