Cryosite Limited Directors' report 31 December 2023

Overview
The financial results for the half-year ended 31 December 2023 exceeds the previous financial result for the half-year ended 31 December 2022 (prior corresponding period), continuing to build upon our long-term strategy.
There has been a return of year-on-year positive momentum at Cryosite in the second half of 2023 as customers' trading patterns emerge from the aftermath of the pandemic.
-
Revenue from ordinary activities increased by 11.9% to $6,402,000 in the current period from $5,722,000 in the prior corresponding period.
-
Net profit after tax of $846,000. An increase of 24.6% on prior half-year.
-
Earnings per share: 1.73 cents. An increase of 24.7% on a fully diluted basis from prior half year.
-
$5,927,000 of cash and cash equivalents as at 31 December 2023. This is an increase of $196,000 over the $4,731,000 in cash plus an additional $1,000,000 in a longer duration term deposit held at 30 June 2023. The Group has no external borrowings.
-
Net cash from operations of $1,219,000 up by 276% from $324,000 in the prior half-year.
-
Net tangible asset backing per share increased to 6.20 per share as at 31 December 2023 from 5.86 cents as at 30 June 2023.
The Group reporting revenues from ordinary activities of $6,402,000 (31 December 2022: $5,722,000) and delivered net profit after tax of $846,000 (31 December 2022: $679,000). It is particularly pleasing to report a 11.9% growth in revenue from ordinary activities in the first half of 2024.
The Group tightly controls costs but purposefully invests in facilities, systems and staff, to optimally position the Group for continued growth. A positive expansion in gross margins was offset with an increase in operational expenses, primarily driven by inflation.
The Board declared a 50% increase in the final unfranked dividend to 1.5 cents per share, for 2023, following the resumption of a dividend payments in 2022 with a final unfranked dividend of 1.0 cent per share declared for that year. The net tangible assets per ordinary share have been increased by 0.3 cents, from 5.9 cents on 30 June 2023 to 6.2 cents on 31 December 2023.
Cashflow
The Group has no debt facilities and continues to hold $5,927,000 cash on hand as at 31 December 2023. Compared to $4,731,000 of cash plus the $1,000,000 long-term deposit of the Group as at 30 June 2023, is an increase of $196,000 over the six months.
The reported net cash from operations of the Group during first half financial year 2024 was $1,219,000 (1HY23: $324,000). The significant increase was driven by the increased collections in the first half year of 2024, as well as the receivable timing differences which negatively impacted the same period last year.
Cashflow from investing activities was $859,000 (1HY23: -$37,000). This is the result of the $1,000,000 longterm deposit as at 30 June 2023 which was now classified as cash as at 31 December 2023 (1HY23: $nil), plus payments for Capex -$196,000 (1HY23: -$70,000) and interest income received $55,000 (1HY23: $33,000).
Cashflow from financing activities was -$882,000 (1HY23: -$644,000), which include the lease payment of our facility -$150,000 (1HY23: -$156,000) and the dividend payment of -$732,000 (1HY23: -$488,000).
Environmental, social and governance (ESG)
Our facility improvements reflect decisions to improve the design, construction, and operations of the facility to reduce our environmental impact. Past and current investments in new capital equipment contributes to our GHG reduction strategy. Our unwavering commitment to sustainability has resulted in our recent achievement of a silver medal from EcoVadis in February 2024. Our updated Governance Policies reflect our commitment to ethical, transparent, and responsible business practices.
Stability in the State of Affairs
Our stability in a changing industry landscape reflects effective strategic planning and execution. It highlights our ability to maintain a steady course while adapting to the evolving needs of our clients and the market.

Cryosite Limited Directors' report 31 December 2023
==> picture [87 x 27] intentionally omitted <==
Governance and Management
In Governance and Management, our Board steadfastly upholds the highest standards of corporate governance and ethical behaviour. We significantly enhanced our ESG policies in the last quarter, integrating environmental guidelines, a robust supplier code of conduct, and stringent modern slavery policies. These updates are designed to align with and reinforce our Group's strategic objectives while enhancing transparency and accountability at all levels.
Further demonstrating our commitment to continuous improvement, we actively engage in external assessments through the EcoVadis platform. These assessments not only provide valuable insights but also serve as a crucial benchmark against industry standards, guiding our ongoing efforts to elevate our operational practices and ethical standards.
Material business risks
We remain vigilant in the face of macroeconomic risks, climate change and regulatory compliance challenges. We continue to update and invest in the latest HVAC technology and equipment to manage and monitor the impact of the climate on our operations. Our diverse customer base and strategic partnerships are key in helping us manage these risks.
Macroeconomic
Despite our strong position in the specialist clinical trials storage and logistics sector, we recognise that we are not immune to external economic factors such as inflation, supply chain disruptions and new competitors. Our strategy involves monitoring economic indicators, maintaining strict internal controls, and diversifying our customer base into the new growth sectors such as biological storage and cell & gene therapies storage and depot services leveraging our 22 years of cryogenic cord blood expertise.
Regulatory compliance
The Group’s purpose-built, modern facility is licensed by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) of Australia and is Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certified to support the specialised needs of highly regulated, temperature-sensitive products. We take our quality obligations and responsibilities seriously. Cryosite maintains accreditations, has thorough knowledge of regulatory systems and utilises best-in-class management systems to ensure our quality processes.
Cryosite employs regular and extensive audits to mitigate our risk and ensure our storage facilities meet TGA and our customers’ standards. Additionally, the Group maintains sufficient internal controls to ensure continued compliance with its regulatory obligations as well as all Australian laws and regulations.
Privacy and cybersecurity
In an era where data security is paramount, we have invested in staff training and infrastructure to protect sensitive information and maintain cybersecurity. Cryosite has initiated its journey to align with the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) Essential Eight Maturity Model.
Work, health and safety (‘WHS’)
The Group has a zero-risk tolerance for serious safety incidents. The Group deploys a continuous improvement process to its WHS practices, emphasising its established safety culture throughout the organisation, and providing scheduled training for the workforce.
Operating risks
-
Supply Chain disruption. The Group is part of a global supply chain facilitating the conduct of clinical trials in Australia. Disruption to this supply chain, as we saw during Covid, brings both challenges and opportunities requiring the Group to remain agile in its response.
-
Commercial Partners: The Group is aware of the importance of global pharmaceutical and bio-tech companies within its Clinical Trials division and mitigates risk through consistently high levels of customer service, the attraction of new clients, and expansion of its licenses and services.
-
Competition: The Group is vigilant regarding the possibility of a new market entrant or a change in the delivery model for Clinical Trials in Australia. It mitigates this risk by holding a number of licenses and certifications, investing in its facilities, services and people and by remaining closely connected to its customers. The Group continually invests in its brand and enjoys a high reputation in Australia and internationally.

Review Report on the Half-year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Cryosite Limited and its controlled entity (the “Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023 and consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, significant accounting policies, explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Cryosite Limited and its controlled entity is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2023 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(ii) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (ASRE 2410) . Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the half-year financial report section of our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
Directors’ responsibility for the half-year financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors' determine is necessary to enable the presentation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2023 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
