EBITDA
The Group continued its profitability trend delivering an EBITDA of €49.4m in the first half of 2020. The underlying Primerdesign EBITDA margin has increased to over 80% from 40% in H1 2019 when management charges are excluded, demonstrating that the division can be scaled without significant additional overheads. With Primerdesign delivering approximately 98% of Group revenue in H1 2020 at 85% gross margin, its continued success contributes substantially to the Group's positive EBITDA as the effect of increasing Primerdesign revenues as a percentage of overall Group revenues has been to enhance the overall profitability of the Group.
To support the substantial growth seen by the Group in 2020, investment has been made in overheads including the hiring of new staff and additional facilities spend to maximise manufacturing output. As a percentage of revenue these incremnental costs are negligible, which is reflected in the Group delivering an EBITDA margin of 68% in H1 2020.
the new product news due next week
The Company has also developed a plan to expand its Pathflow® brand of products and expects to launch a number of additional tests over the next few months to expand its rapid testing portfolio for infectious diseases.
The Company continues to make good progress in the development and launch of a central lab-based serology test for the detection of the IgG antibody to COVID-19. To date, the product has demonstrated significant levels of sensitivity and specificity for detection of IgG in patients 14 days after testing positive for COVID-19 by a PCR test. Novacyt now expects to launch a CE Mark approved product by the end of September 2020.
