RE: SWK Revenue Target25 Sep 2024 19:51
There were some typos in my last message which may have led to some confusion.
Regarding Q3'23 > Q4'23 growth being 5%, that was in reference to net sales. So, although actual scrips increased by 22% the $ value of this increase in net sales was an increase of 5%; net sales went from $4.1m in Q3'23 to $4.3m in Q4'23. See slide 16 on the interim deck you posted.
Further, scrip prices haven't gone up every quarter. Infact, every quarter they increased has been followed by 2 down quarters with an upto 6% correction.
Assuming the 20% increase QoQ you put forward alongwith a conservative 10% correction in scrip prices gives us total revenues across the 2 upcoming quarters of $14.7m. Add the $1.1m for ex US and the $1.4m for the Paed and Canada payment brings the total to $17.2m. A approx $2.2m shortfall. 2x that to apply the cure and we're looking at a potential capital raise of $4.4m along with the Q1'25 target being bumped up by the $2.2m shortfall.
If we instead get only a 5% net sales increase in Q4'24 as we did in Q4'23 then the total revenue across the 2 quarters is $13.7m leaving a shortfall to the target of $3.2m and a capital raise requirement of $6.4m along with the Q1'25 target being bumped up by the $3.2m shortfall.
Ultimately we will have to see what happens but it is certainly not out of the woods yet and the real risk of breaching the loan covenants does remain.
