ASX MEDIA RELEASE
Uscom CEO Associate Professor Rob Phillips said, “Our first cash flow positive quarter is especially satisfying as it comes on top of four consecutive years of 40%+ CAGR revenue growth. While both revenue and costs will continue to be lumpy, our strategy remains firmly focused on long term sustained revenue growth, profitability and, ultimately, shareholder dividends. During the quarter we have been completing the BP+, BP+ Reporter, SpiroSonic and SpiroReporter devices (seven products in all), and finalising regulatory submissions for approvals for their sale in the main jurisdictions of China, Europe and the USA. Once the devices are approved then a number of one off costs will be replaced by revenue. The devices are now all in regulatory cycles in all regions and we look forward to receiving the revenue growth that will flow once the approvals are received and our new and established distributor channels are activated. It is these supplementary revenue streams which we expect to accelerate our current growth over the coming years. We have invested wisely in acquisitions and new product development, and we are now poised for continuing and accelerated revenue growth.”
Uscom manufactures and markets the USCOM 1A, the Uscom BP+, and the Uscom SpiroSonic digital ultrasonic spirometry technologies.
