Financial overview
Admedus continues to achieve its near term objectives of diligent cost management, resource optimisation, prioritisation of near-market products, optimisation of commercial operations, expansion of the product portfolio focused on increasing revenue opportunities as well as addressing internal policy, systems and processes across the globe to ensure lean and efficient operating models.
Sales growth in line with guidance - The Company commenced the financial year with quarterly sales of $6.05M. This is in-line with previous guidance and represents 50% growth from the past quarter and 100% from the corresponding period in 2015. The Company continues to see quarter-on-quarter sales growth for CardioCel[®] , closing the quarter with $1.6M.

The Company successfully completed a capital raise of $18.3M (before costs). Admedus also received $1.25M in R&D rebates relating to R&D activities in the 2014/15 financial year and anticipates receiving approximately a further $2M in R&D tax rebates this financial year. The Company closed the quarter in a strong financial position with $19.5M in cash.
Infusion division record sales quarter – The first quarter to September was a record sales quarter for the infusion division as it begins to deliver its infusion products to the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, adding to overall ongoing growth within this division.
Continued cost management - The overall loss for the quarter was down 36% to $3.4M. This excludes the settlement of the legal proceeding as announced on the 9[th] of September 2016 which resulted in the Company owning 100% of Admedus’ regenerative technology. The majority of this cost was in the Company’s budget and has been brought forward into this quarter following resolution of the proceedings. The loss of $3.4M also included $0.7M of one-off costs in relation to the restructure and changes to the headcount. The Company forecasts approximately 25% further net loss operational reductions for the next quarter with anticipated ongoing cost reductions for the rest of the financial year.
Forecasts for Financial Year 2017
The Company is continuing to implement numerous cost savings and has made significant improvements in its sales and marketing globally. Admedus is reshaping its presence in the cardiovascular market with a particular focus on the US, EU and emerging markets. The Company is also expanding its marketing programs to ensure increased levels of market penetration in key markets. This has placed Admedus in a strong financial position with a clear path to profitability in FY18.
Admedus has also focused on implementation of manufacturing yield and cost of good improvements, together with expansion of its on-market product range. As announced on the 14th of October 2016, the Company has received FDA clearance for its VascuCel[®] product and is on schedule to launch VascuCel[®] into the market in November 2016. Admedus believes VascuCel[®] will take significant market share in the US vascular market as it offers a next generation collagen scaffold for restorative vascular repair. In line with the Company’s guidance of expanding its portfolio and focus on greater market penetration, the launch of VascuCel[®] and other new products into the market will add revenue to the Company’s growing sales this financial year.
During the quarter, the Company announced a number of key appointments that will strengthen the management team, in particular the appointment of Mr Mark Ziirsen as CFO and Mr Michael Walker as EVP of Europe. Admedus is continuing to structure its sales teams around performance and regional growth to maximise returns for CardioCel[®] .
The Admedus Annual General Meeting will be held at 11am at the Rydges South Bank Brisbane on the 10th of November 2016, during which Mr Wayne Paterson will provide an update on the future direction of the Company.
Yours sincerely
