• Royalty revenue from Axiron® decreased 84.3% to $2.2m reflecting a decline in global sales by our partner Eli Lilly and Company due to generic competition and the termination of the licensing agreement • R&D investment was $5.30m, up 49.3% on prior half year due to the increase in expenditure on our generic pipeline • Other operating costs were $1.68m, up 79.7% on prior half year materially due to non-recurring legal fees of $0.70 million associated with the Axiron® patent appeal litigation • Non operating costs are comprised of depreciation and amortisation • Impairment loss is a result of a reassessment of the estimated future discounted cashflows from Axiron®. The assessment included consideration of termination of Axiron® licensing agreement and U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit decision. • Income tax benefit of $1.64m is attributable to the lower operating profit (excluding the impairment loss) and the reversal of the deferred tax liability associated with the impaired portion of Axiron® capitalised development costs not being realised as initially contemplated 31 December 2017 31 December 2016 $'000 $'000 % 2,420 13,969 (82.7%) 323 359 (10.0%) 2,743 14,328 (80.9%) (5,303) (3,551) 49.3% (1,682) (936) 79.7% (448) (791) (43.3%) (7,433) (5,278) 40.8% (4,690) 9,050 (151.8%) (5,647) - - (10,337) 9,050 (214.2%) 1,643 (2,728) (160.2%) (8,694) 6,322 (237.5%) (0.05) cents 0.04 cents 32,363 33,974 (4.7)% Half Year Ending |
