Tzarr68 and ShaunP -
I got shares in the IPO and this was in the Liberum document -
Whilst COVID-19 has impacted the business, particularly the Healthcare Diagnostics and Genomics
business units, there has been significant growth in capacity and associated revenues generated by
the Infectious Disease Testing business unit.
Infectious Disease Testing revenues totalled £15.2 million in the five month period ended
30 September 2020 and has accelerated as COVID-19 testing capacity has grown month-on-month
since launch in May 2020, as shown below:
(there is a bar chart i can't cut and paste showing Covid revenue ramping up from May to September with £7,000,000 in revenue from Covid testing in September - I also know that they are were doing 7,500 Covid tests per day in September and are now doing over 8,000 per day because the CEO said he projected over 10,000 per day by December)
11. CURRENT TRADING AND PROSPECTS
The Company’s unaudited results for the six months ended 30 June 2020 show revenue of
£10.6 million (which included £2.2 million of revenues from COVID-19 testing services) and EBITDA
of £1.7 million.
Trading in the period from 30 June 2020 to the date of this document has been consistent with
the Board’s expectations, with revenues from Infectious Disease Testing rising strongly
month-on-month through the second half of the year so far. The Company has continued to build
COVID-19 testing capacity, from approximately 1,250 tests per day as at 30 June 2020, to
approximately 6,000 tests per day at 30 September. Trading in the other three business units
continues to be impacted by COVID-19, mostly within Healthcare Diagnostics, where Cellular
Pathology grew strongly in the first quarter of the year but volumes have not yet returned to
pre-COVID-19 levels.
In the near term, the Company anticipates that the financial results will be dominated by the scale
of Infectious Disease Testing revenues, earnings and cash generation.
The Directors believe that the net proceeds of the Placing and Admission will help accelerate the
growth of the business, including a further scaling-up of COVID-19 testing capacity in response to
current exceptionally high market demand.
As at 30 June 2020 the Company’s net debt was £28.7 million, comprising cash of £1.5 million, bank
borrowings of £4.4 million and outstanding shareholder loans of £25.8 million.
If either of you want the Liberum floatation document I can send to you.
Was there a presentation today? Do either of you have the link?
