Appendix 4E and updated guidance for FY25

Compumedics expects to release Appendix 4E to the ASX by 26 August 2024 and will update FY25 guidance at that time.

Compumedics Limited (ASX: CMP) a global medical device company that develops, manufactures and commercialises diagnostic technology for sleep, brain, and ultrasonic blood flow monitoring is pleased to advise that the Company has taken record sales orders of approximately $52m and has shipped record revenues of approximately $49m for FY24, subject to audit.

The strong sales performance has resulted from growth in the Australian sleep and neurodiagnostic businesses in FY24, two new MEG orders received in December 2023 ($9.2m) and higher sales in European sleep and neuro diagnostics. There were strong European sales off the back of Okti, the world’s first wireless EEG amplifier, as significant sites in Germany were secured.

USA market development is starting to produce significant results, with 67% growth in sales orders taken during H2 FY24 compared to H1 FY24.

The Company also expects to build on H1 FY24 EBITDA of $2.2m, but it may not achieve the prior guidance of about $5.0m due to the continuing investment and commitment to the US sales and marketing team and the positive resumption of DWL’s China business, which is taking longer than anticipated.

Sales orders for Somfit were a 133% improvement in FY24 ($2.1m) over FY23 ($0.9m). This was without material contribution from the USA. Revenues from Somfit were more than 20 times higher in FY24 ($2.1m) than FY23 ($0.1m). Including Nexus 360 lab management enterprise software as a service (SaaS) revenue, total SaaS revenues (Somfit and Nexus 360) for FY24 were $4.2m, 140% higher than FY23 ($1.7m). The USA Somfit launch is now underway and is a key focus for the Company following FDA approval (ASX announcement, 4 December 2023).

The ongoing market strategy for Somfit continues to be focused on point-of-care testing. The initial focus was in Australia, but will now move to the USA following FDA approval and the appointment of Craig Gallivan as National Vice President of Sales – Home Sleep Testing (ASX announcement, 17 June 2024).

The Company’s market strategy targets three main areas:

  • The existing Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) and Home Sleep Apnoea Testing (HSAT) market (reimbursable in the USA and non-reimbursable in Australia).
  • Based on our assessment, the Compumedics Somfit platform has captured about 75% of the pharmacy-based HSAT market in its first introductory phase, primarily through its national relationship with Phillips Pharmacy Sleep Services. This relatively new and growing consumer-accessible sleep-health monitoring sector will underpin future growth in similar or adjacent areas.
  • The Australian primary care market for sleep screening and supporting the diagnosis of insomnia and circadian rhythm disorders.

Compumedics expects to complete the installation of its second MEG sale and its first MEG contract in Asia to Tianjin Normal University (TJNU) in Tianjin, China, in the short term. The installation is now largely complete with customer acceptance planned for August 2024. The Company received two further MEG sales orders in China (12 December 2023). Together, these three orders represent incremental and new revenue for Compumedics of about $14m over a 12-month period. These sales are expected to be shipped and installed during calendar 2025. The Company is currently assessing various options for further developing the MEG business.
