ASX Announcement Full Year Results FY21
The company is pleased to report we have reached breakeven/profit, excluding non-cash expenses. This significant
milestone has been achieved with strong sales growth and significant investment in sales personnel. Audited results were a net loss after income tax of $4.61m (2020 $4.19m) but this includes $2.63m in share-based
payments expense ($2.63m), unrealised foreign exchange losses ($1.12m), and depreciation & amortisation ($1.12m). Total revenue of $29.34m includes:
• NovoSorb BTM of $25.51m up 33.8% on the prior year
• Revenue from the BARDA clinical trial program of $3.65m up 18.1% on the prior year
• As at 30 June 2021, the Company held $7.69m in cash and short-term investments. COVID had a significant impact on hospital trauma, burn and elective surgery activity. Notwithstanding limited hospital
access, lockdowns, and travel restrictions, we adapted our business and had continued material sales growth globally
and notably in the US with BTM sales up by 49% in $US and distributor sales up by 53.1%. We continued to invest in building our capacity to drive revenue with personnel growing from 78 to 106. Investing in our
sales teams is a significant driver of sales momentum. In the second half we saw a strong improvement in revenues and
new accounts. This trajectory and new US sales staff are expected to deliver a strong FY22.
PolyNovo expanded in Europe using our distributors to rapidly reach new geographies and establish revenue flow.
