Losses Narrow On A TTM Basis
- On a trailing twelve month view, revenue came in at US$642.8 million with a net loss of US$43.5 million and a basic EPS loss of US$0.35, compared with a TTM net loss of US$182.6 million and a basic EPS loss of US$1.52 a year earlier.
- What stands out for the bullish narrative is that this five year trend of shrinking losses at an average rate of 28.7% per year now lines up with the most recent TTM move, even though forecasts used here still do not show a return to profitability in the next three years.
- Bulls point to improving loss levels as a platform for future earnings, while current forecasts explicitly assume revenue growth of around 3.4% to 5.3% per year and continued losses for several more years.
- This mix of smaller losses and no near term profit in the models keeps the bullish argument focused on longer term margin improvement rather than any quick turnaround.
Quarterly Profit Line Still Uneven
- Across FY 2025, net income swung from a profit of US$34.5 million in Q2 to losses of US$34.4 million in Q1, US$27.5 million in Q3 and US$16.3 million in Q4, with basic EPS ranging from a profit of US$0.28 to losses between US$0.13 and US$0.28.
- Bears highlight that this choppy pattern, together with forecasts that do not project profitability in the next three years, supports a cautious view on how quickly the business can turn higher revenue into steady earnings.
- The FY 2025 quarters show revenue holding between roughly US$149.0 million and US$172.9 million while the income line flips between profit and loss, which fits the bearish concern about earnings sensitivity to spending and funding conditions.
- At the same time, the move from a Q4 FY 2024 net loss of US$49.0 million to a Q4 FY 2025 net loss of US$16.3 million shows the income statement is not simply deteriorating, which tempers the most pessimistic angle of that bearish story.
Valuation Signals Versus Slower Growth
- The stock trades at US$22.42 with a P/S of 4.5x, compared with a peer average of 9.2x and a US Life Sciences industry average of 3.4x, while the DCF fair value used here is US$34.65.
- Consensus narrative comments that modest revenue growth of 4.9% per year, alongside ongoing losses and a DCF fair value above the current share price, leaves investors weighing slower growth against a valuation that some may see as more attractive than peers on a sales multiple basis.
- The 4.9% revenue growth rate is below an 11.4% market growth rate, so the lower P/S versus peers and the DCF fair value gap of roughly US$12 per share are being assessed in the context of a business that is currently growing more slowly than the broader US market.
- Recent significant insider selling also sits next to this DCF fair value gap, which gives investors extra information to consider when deciding how much weight to place on the implied upside from the valuation models.
