FY2018 – Performance Review

  • Core: US business grows 8%, albeit at slower rates than expected. Europe and DWL also grow in FY18, compared to FY17

  • Core: Asia business and China in particular strong with 28% lift in sales over pcp.

  • Core: Profitability grows as a result of the overall growth in sales, including the partial invoicing of the first MEG sale. The selective outsourcing of production, along with other efficiency gains also contributes to growth in profitability at the EBITDA and NPAT lines

  • MEG growth initiative: First sale to Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix, AZ, USA, is currently being installed with completion expected before the end of H1 FY19. Further MEG opportunities identified with 3 identified sales in the advanced stages of negotiation.
