Record sales order growth helps to propel CMP full year result

 

BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

  • Record sales orders taken for H1 FY25 of $32.8m were 12% higher than H1 FY24. Excluding MEG and DWL, sales orders taken for the sleep and neurology business for H1 FY25 were 73% higher than H1 FY24, propelled by sales in the USA business and Somfit SaaS
  • Somfit® and Nexus 360 SaaS revenues were 50% higher at $2.9m for H1 FY25 compared to $2.0m for H1 FY24 as initial sales traction takes hold in the USA and ongoing sales in Australia
  • Revenues lagged sales orders taken at $23.5m for H1 FY25 and were 12% lower than H1 FY24. Excluding MEG and DWL, the sleep and neurology revenues booked for H1 FY25 were 10% higher than H1 FY24
  • Given the heavy investment in sales and marketing, primarily in the USA, to drive growth there, EBITDA was $0.7m for H1 FY25, compared to $2.2m for H1 FY24
  • Reported NPAT for H1 FY25 is $1.1m loss, compared to $0.1m in H1 FY24. This reflects the significant investment in sales and marketing, primarily in the USA
  • CMP confirms guidance of revenues of more than $55m for full year FY2025 (excluding MEG as the next shipment will occur in H1 FY26) and expects EBITDA to be about $5.0m.

 

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW H1 FY25 (six months to 31 December 2024)

  • Sales orders taken for H1 FY25 were a record $32.8m or 12% higher than H1 FY24. Excluding the MEG sales orders taken in H1 FY24 ($9.2m) sales orders taken for H1 FY25 are 55% higher than H1 FY24. Revenues for H1 FY25 were $23.5m compared to $26.4m in H1 FY24 or 12% lower. Excluding the MEG sale in H1 FY24 revenues for H1 FY25 were 8% higher on a like for like basis
  • The business EBITDA profit of $0.7m for H1 FY25 compared to $2.2m for H1 FY24. The EBITDA result for H1 FY25 reflects the significant investment in sales and marketing, primarily in the USA to underpin renewed growth there, as evidenced by the 208% increase in sales orders taken for H1 FY25, compared to H1 FY24. It also reflects investment in R&D to accelerate the Somfit D (disposable) version for the HST (wearable) market in the USA. Given the record sales orders taken, EBITDA will strengthen in H2 FY25
  • Operating cash flow (OCF) of $(2.0) for H1 FY25, compared to $1.2m for H1 FY24, also reflects the heavy investment in sales and marketing activities in the USA. Given the record sales orders taken, this position will improve in H2 FY25. H1 FY24 OCF improved due to substantially higher sales and better gross margins
  • NPAT was $1.1m loss for H1 FY25 compared to $0.1m loss for H1 FY24 for the reasons already noted.

During the period H1 FY25, Compumedics revenues were $23.5m, which were 12% higher than H1 FY24, excluding the MEG sale booked in the prior period. On an as-reported basis, revenues for H1 FY25 were 12% lower than H1 FY24.

Compumedics booked record sales orders for H1 FY25 of $32.8m. Excluding the MEG sales orders taken in H1 FY24 this represented growth of 55% over H1 FY24. On an as-reported basis, sales orders taken for H1 FY25 were 12% higher than H1 FY24. The table below highlights sales orders taken for H1 FY25 by business area, compared to H1 FY24 and H1 FY23:

 

As the Company invests significantly in sales and marketing activities, primarily in the USA, as well as in new products, such as a disposable version of Somfit and the MEG business the EBITDA breakeven result for H1 FY25 of $0.7m reflects this and compares to a profit of $2.2m in H1 FY24.

The main impacts to EBITDA in H1 FY25 were largely a result of the following key factors:

  1. The lack of an MEG sale in H1 FY25, whilst the Company continues to invest in this business
  2. The significant investment ($2.0m for H1 FY25) in increased sales resources, primarily in the USA business, to grow our business in this key market, as evidenced by the 208% growth in sales orders taken during H1 FY25 in the USA business
  3. Other one-off costs ($0.5m), such as recruiting fees which were incurred to seek and secure key sales leadership for the USA business and other critical business roles
  4. Foreign exchange movements led to a favourable $0.2m movement to profit and loss in the current 6 months to 31 December 2025, compared to the pcp.

The Company is currently focused on continuing to grow revenues with resources in the USA, Australia and in other key markets around the world engaged to achieve this outcome and actively working through other operational and expense efficiency opportunities to continue to restore sustainable profitability over H2 FY25 and into H1 FY26.
