AUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR TO 31 MARCH 2025

30 May 2025

Pacific Edge today reports a resilient financial result for the year to the end of March 2025. Improvements in the performance of the sales force, operating efficiencies and cash collection gains over the financial year have positioned the company well as it works towards regaining Medicare coverage of its tests.

Pacific Edge today also announces a NZ$20 million equity raising to capitalize on recent clinical and commercial milestones, grow in non-Medicare channels and regain Medicare coverage. The details of the capital raising are covered in a separate announcement to the NZX and ASX today.

FY25 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE2

• Operating revenue down 8.6% on FY 24 to $21.8 million, reflecting Medicare uncertainty. Total revenue is down 16% on FY 24 to $24.6 million
• Total laboratory throughput3 (TLT) of Cxbladder tests fell 11.5% on FY 24 to 28,894; commercial tests fell 9.9% on FY 24 to 26,42 tests
• Tests/Sales FTE in the US for Q4 25 were reported at 405.6, up 6.4% on Q4 24; ASP4 for all commercial tests in the US increases to US$594 in FY 25 vs US$584 in FY 24 as operating efficiencies and cash collection gains continue to improve
• Strong performance from the Southern California Permanente Medical Group, increased APAC volume and sustained sales force efficiencies reduce the impact of Medicare uncertainty and the reduced sales team reach
• Net loss after tax +1.4% on FY 24 to $29.9 million, 2H 25 net loss +6.4% on 1H 25 led by increased expenditure on clinical research, Triage Plus commercialization and legal fees

FY 25 STRATEGIC PERFORMANCE   

• Cxbladder Triage included in the American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines with a ‘Grade A’ evidence rating, the only biomarker to achieve this status
• Triage Plus achieves a draft Medicare price of US$1,018.44, a significant premium to the current US$760 per test; full scale commercial launch is now contingent on re-coverage
• Medicare coverage discontinued following Genetic Tests for Oncology (Specific Tests) (L39365) becoming effective after balance date (24 April 2025); Pacific Edge is now focused on regaining coverage for Triage and Monitor and obtaining coverage and launch of new products Triage Plus and Monitor Plus
• Commercial team focused on profitable territories, non-Medicare revenue streams and selling the clinical and economic value of Cxbladder; Cxbladder Detect discontinued
