Appendix 4E Preliminary Final Report

2.6 Australia
The Group’s Australian employees undertake research and development of Pro Medicus products
(RIS) as well as sales and service/support functions.
The Group’s Australian revenue increased by 19.2% compared to the previous year, with the
rollout of the Healius (ex-Primary Health) contract and extension of its contract with I-MED being
the main contributors to the increased revenue.
Promedicus.net, the company’s e-health offering, continued to hold its market position.
North America
The North American team fulfil sales, marketing and professional services roles. Revenue from
North America increased by 23.7% compared to the previous year. This was attributable to
increase in transaction-based revenue from sales of Visage technology as more contracts came
on stream.
Europe
The Group’s employees in its Berlin office undertake research and development of Visage Imaging
products worldwide as well as sales, marketing and service/support functions for the Group's
European operations. Revenue for software from our European operations was in line with
expectations despite a decrease of 37.7% period on period, as a result of a one-off $3.049m
capital sale to the German government in FY19.
Financials
Reported profit after tax for the period was $23.08m an increase of 20.7% from the previous year.
Full year revenue of the Group increased from $50.11m to $56.82m, an increase of 13.4%. As the
Group’s costs are relatively fixed, an increase in sales has a significant impact on profitability.
The key drivers of the profit increase were increases in transaction revenue in North American and
as well as increased RIS sales in Australia.
The result from the underlying operations for the year was a pre-tax profit of $30.24m compared to
an underlying pre-tax profit of $22.66m from the previous corresponding period, an increase of
33.4%. The underlying profit comprises reported profit before tax of $30.02m and adding the net
currency loss of $0.22m. The underlying profit from 2019, comprises of reported profit before tax of
$26.12m less the currency gain of $0.41m and subtracting the one-off capital sale to the German
government of $3.05m.
During the period the Company continued to make strong inroads into the North American market
winning key contracts with Ohio State University (A$9.0m – 5 year deal), a large multi-disciplinary
academic medical center in Columbus, Ohio; Nines (A$6.0m – 5 year deal), a Palo Alto based
teleradiology business; and Northwestern Memorial (A$22.0m – 5 year deal), a large, highly
respected tier 1 academic hospital system in Chicago, Illinois . The Company also continued to make
significant progress with all key implementations being on or ahead of schedule.
COVID-19
The company successfully transitioned its entire global operations to “work from home” in mid-
March 2020 ensuring full continuity of all R&D and client support services.
In addition, customer-facing activities including meetings with prospective clients, product
demonstrations and training and implementation were performed remotely using a combination of
the company’s own Visage 7 technology and third party video conferencing tools, thereby enabling
these activities to continue unabated throughout the period.
Exam volumes, particularly in Australia and the US, declined during the last week in March 2020 and
into the first two weeks of April 2020 as clients deferred all elective, non-urgent radiology
examinations. Since that period to the end of the financial year, volumes steadily increased to a level
just below that of the months prior to COVID. The impact on the full year results is estimated to be
that profit after tax would have been higher by approximately $1.2m, which equates to approximately
5% of underlying NPAT.
Cash Reserves
The directors are confident that the holdings of reserve cash are sufficient to underpin the
development and foreseeable expansion needs of the company as the business looks to increase
its penetration of existing markets.
