Bioshares Session Theme Medical Devices: Does the End Justify the Means?
“It is a costly, capital intensive process to develop cutting-edge medical devices and diagnostics and then to launch and compete with products in global markets in a bid to create a viable, high growth business. This can be a long-term process.” (Bioshares)
-
Getting cutting edge medical devices to global markets can only be a long-term process!
-
Once-off Investment is required in setting up People, Culture, Facilities, Processes, Equipment, QMS, Partnerships, Regulatory Approvals, etc… and the core technology
-
Then: Expect the Unexpected
-
Nobody does that for one product
-
The big once-off investments need multi-product returns
-
The technology platform must provide sustainable competitive advantage for the long-haul
-
With each new product the risk profile reduces
-
Medical devices is a long-haul business.

Valuing MX1
Does the End Justify the Means? - Valuing the whole Product Roadmap
-
MX1’s investment to date in its capability and its platform technology will support
-
multiple future valuable products
-
Commercialising products quickly is important to derive most value
-
Building Micro-X brand image (and value) by first product recognition also important
-
NPV of the 9-year cashflows from these products (at 15% discount) is being used in partnership/ investment discussions.
-
The NPV points to a A$ 1.17B company ($4.86 per MX1 share fully diluted for future capital raising).
-
The end does justify the means.
