ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

PRELIMINARY FINANCIAL REPORT

Admedus Limited (ASX: AHZ) ( Admedus or the Company ) releases its Appendix 4E– Preliminary Financial report for the period ending 31 December 2019.

In a transformative year, Admedus completed its transition to a structural heart company focused on the development of novel products using its proprietary ADAPT[®] tissue technology. Admedus is poised to begin its pivotal first-in-human surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) trial of its 3D aortic valve in Q1 2020.

FY2019 included the following highlights:

  • Successful recapitalisation with the sale of the distribution rights to CardioCel[®] and VascuCel[®] patch business to US-based LeMaitre Vascular Inc. (including a $21.2 million upfront payment) and the part-divestment of the infusion business for $6.3 million, resulting in a closing cash balance (including term deposits) of $16.1 million;

  • Total revenue of $17.1 million for the 2019 financial year compared with $25.6 million in 2018. FY2019 revenue includes $10.2 million from sales of ADAPT[®] products and $6.9 million of Infusion products. The revenue shift reflected the contribution from the Infusion business until its part-divestment in May 2019 and the patch business until its sale to LeMaitre in October 2019;

  • Gross profit for the group for the year was $8.3 million, representing a gross margin of 49% (in line with 2018);

  • Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) reduced to $31.6 million from $34.3 million in the prior year following a significant reduction in global headcount. The full impact of this reduction will be reflected in the 2020 accounts; and

  • Net loss after tax reduced to $6.2 million compared with $24.7 million in 2018, including gains from the patch business sale as well as the part-divestment of the infusion business.

The 2019 financial year was significant for the Company as it completed the divestment of non-core assets. Admedus is now focused on the development of its ADAPT[®] single-piece 3D aortic valve for the SAVR and TAVR (transcatheter aortic valve replacement) markets and generating revenue from manufacturing products for LeMaitre.
