Peter Terence Kempen FCA, FAICD (Chairman) Dr Sam Aaron Hupert M.B.B.S. (Deputy Chairman and Chief Executive Officer) Anthony Barry Hall B.Sc.(Hons), M.Sc. (Executive Director and Technology Director) Roderick Lewis John Lyle LL.B., B.Com, LL.M (Lond), MBA (Melb) (Non-Executive Director)

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company reported a first half after tax profit of $4.80m, an increase of $1.86m (up 63.1%) compared to the same period last year. Revenue for the 6 month period of the Company increased from $14.28m to $15.20m, an increase of 6.4%.

The result from the underlying operations for the period was a profit of $4.08m compared to an underlying profit of $2.82m from the previous corresponding period, an increase of 44.7% (The underlying profit is made up of reported profit after-tax of $4.80m and subtracting the after-tax net currency gain of $0.72m (Dec 2015: $0.12m)).

During the period the Company continued to make strong inroads into the North America market winning an $18.0m contract with Mayo Clinic, one of the most recognised health systems in North America as well as globally. The Company made significant progress with its installations, with all key implementations being on or ahead of schedule.

The Company is looking to further build on its presence in North America and is actively pursuing key opportunities, both within the enterprise imaging/large teaching hospitals and private imaging centre markets.

The Company's European business performed in line with expectations. A capital sale of $1.5m in the previous corresponding period was not repeated in the current half.

The Company's Australian business improved as a result of increased adoption of the Visage RIS and Visage PACS products. Promedicus.net, the Company's e-health offering, continued to perform well throughout the period despite increasing competition.

The Company continued its significant investment in R&D, both in Australia as well as overseas.

The Company's cash reserves have increased by $3.17m for the 6 month period with cash reserves remaining high at $20.28m at the end of December 2016. The Company remains debt free.

The Board is of the view that there are sufficient cash reserves to fund the anticipated growth of the business from internal sources. As a result the Company has announced an unfranked interim dividend of 1.5c per share.

ROUNDING

The amounts contained in this report have been rounded to the nearest $1,000 (where rounding is applicable) under the option available to the company under ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors Reports) instrument 2016/191. The Company is an entity to which Legislative Instrument applies.

1. Corporate Information The interim consolidated financial statements of the Group for the half-year ended 31 December 2016 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of directors on 17 February 2017.

Pro Medicus Limited is a for profit company limited by shares incorporated and domiciled in Australia whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange.

The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Company are described in note 2.

BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Basis of Preparation The interim consolidated financial statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2016 have been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting.

The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2016, together with any public announcements made by the Company during the half-year ended 31 December 2016.

(b) Significant accounting policies Apart from the changes in accounting policy noted below, accounting policies and methods of computation are the same as those adopted in the most recent annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2016.

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016

2. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the executive management team (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

The operating segments are identified by management based on country of origin. Discrete financial information is reported to the executive management team on at least a monthly basis.

*** - On 19 October 2016 90,000 performance rights were granted under the current long term incentive plan in relation to the 2016-17 financial year. The performance rights vest over 4 years from grant date on completion of service. The fair value of the 90,000 performance rights at grant date was $439,326 ($4.88 per performance right), a portion of which has been expensed for the half-year ended 31 December 2016.

A further 180,492 performance rights were also granted on 19 October 2016 under a new long term incentive plan in relation to the financial years ending 2017, 2018 and 2019. The performance rights vest over 4 years from grant date on completion of service. The fair value of the performance rights at grant date was $3.61 per performance right. The amount of share-based payment expense for the half-year ended 31 December 2016 takes into consideration the probability of certain performance conditions vesting.

In accordance with the Group's accounting policies and process, the Group evaluated each cash generating unit ('CGU') at 31 December 2016, to determine whether they were any indications of impairment. Where an indicator of impairment exists a formal estimate of the recoverable amount is performed.

After consideration of potential indicators which could impact the valuation of the CGU's at 31 December, the Group concluded there are no impairment indicators for the Group's CGU's as at 31 December 2016.

Impact of judgements and estimates on valuation outcomes

It should be noted that significant judgement and assumptions are required in making estimates of an asset's recoverable amount. This is particularly so in the assessment of long life assets. The projected cash flows used in the recoverable amount valuation are subject to variability in key assumptions, including, but not limited to revenue forecasts. A change in the revenue forecasts used in the estimates could result in a change in an asset's recoverable amount as outlined in the 30 June 2016 annual financial report.

Notes to the Financial Statements

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016

To the members of Pro Medicus Limited

Report on the 31 December 2016 Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Pro Medicus Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2016, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

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 controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that 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. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and 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. As the auditor of Pro Medicus Limited and the entities it controlled during the half-year, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

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.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 . We have given to the directors of the company a written Auditor’s Independence Declaration, a copy of which is included in the Directors’ Report.

Conclusion

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 Pro Medicus Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

  • a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2016 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
