    Nanosonics (ASX: NAN), a leader in infection control solutions, today released its
    Appendix 4C Quarterly Report for the quarter ended 30 June 2015.
    Sales in the fourth quarter were $4.132 million which were in line with plan as the
    company successfully continued through the transition phase of establishing direct
    sales operations in North America.
    Importantly sales to customers continued to increase strongly during the quarter with
    the installed base in North America now in excess of 5,000 units.
    Cash at the end of the quarter totalled $45.724 million which provides a strong balance
    sheet to support the Company’s growth objectives.
    Sales for the total year of $22.214 million were up 3.4% despite the foreshadowed lower
    purchases from GE Healthcare during the transition to a non-exclusive partnership and our
    direct sales model.
    Nanosonics’ North American direct sales organisation has now been successfully
    established. Recruitment for all sales territories is complete with all sales professionals
    trained and focussed on building the pipeline for direct sales. Warehousing, service
    operations and order procurement facilities are now in place and operating effectively.
    “The fourth quarter has been a very busy period and one of significant achievement for
    Nanosonics,” said Michael Kavanagh, Nanosonics’ Chief Executive Officer and
    President. “Our direct operations in the United States are now fully operational and we
    are very pleased with the high calibre sales professionals we have attracted to the
    organisation and the speed by which the operations have been established and gaining
    traction”
    “Customer feedback to our direct operations has been very positive and a number of
    important contracts with Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs) in the USA were signed
    during the quarter. Our current focus is on building a strong pipeline for direct sales,
    which is progressing positively.
    “Sales in Europe continue to grow led by the UK where new guidelines were introduced
    this year in Wales with further new guidelines from England and Scotland expected in
    the first half of FY16. A new Nanosonics facility was also opened in the UK during this
    quarter”
    “In May we announced the results of a significant clinical study conducted by researchers
    from Penn State College of Medicine and Brigham Young University. The study
    demonstrated that trophon EPR is the only high level disinfection system for ultrasound
    transducers proven to be effective against high-risk cancer causing strains of human
    papilloma virus. The results of this study have been presented at two national conferences
    in the USA and a publication is currently under review in a peer reviewed journal. The
    outcomes of this study further highlight the opportunity for trophon EPR to become the
    standard of care in North America.
    “In May we successfully moved to our new Global Headquarters, manufacturing facility and
    R&D centre in Lane Cove, Sydney. These new facilities which more than double the space
    available to the Company are now fully operational resulting in increased flexibility in
    manufacturing capacity and efficiency. New ‘state of the art’ research and development
    laboratories have also been built at the new facility to further support our ongoing R&D
    capabilities and pipeline activities”.
