OUTLOOK: INVESTING FOR LONG TERM GROWTH

  • Directors have noted the sharp shift in global share market sentiment since the start of the year and the impact that this has had on company valuations, particularly among growth companies such as Pacific Edge.

  • We remain focused on the things that we can control and that is building long-term sustainable value through the execution of our strategy and prudent management of the capital shareholders have entrusted us with.

  • We expect our investment in innovation, evidence, people, and brand to drive growth in total testing volumes, clinical studies enrolment and revenue generation and shareholder value.
