Highlights
Sold approximately 120,000 Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Tests in 2024.
Expanded access to the Nu.Q® Vet Cancer Test – now available for purchase in over 20 countries worldwide.
A range of independent studies completed, demonstrating the value of our Nu.Q® platform in both sepsis and oncology.
Advancing several active commercial discussions with significant players in the human diagnostic and liquid biopsy space for sepsis and oncology, constituting multibillion dollar markets.
Strengthened the Board of Directors in the appointment of experienced chair, Timothy Still and Independent Director, Dr. Ethel Rubin, both of whom bring significant commercial and financing experience in the diagnostic sector.
Cameron Reynolds, President and Group Chief Executive Officer, said:
"Our focus in 2024 was on generating sufficient clinical data to convince the biggest players in the diagnostic, screening, and liquid biopsy world that our Nu.Q® platform will play a significant role in both the oncology and sepsis markets. I believe this was achieved beyond our expectations: a range of independent studies demonstrating the value of our platform have been completed. We built impressive data rooms in 2024, and 2025 will see the publication of many of these studies.
"2025 is about signing multiple licensing deals for human indications, and we are making good progress on this.
There is a strong and broad interest in potential out-licensing and/or supply agreements for both Nu.Q® NETs and our oncology portfolio, with a range of commercial discussions progressing well with multiple large companies.
We aim to replicate what we previously achieved in the vet space: a range of deal structures, all with ongoing revenue and some to include large milestone.
"We have made excellent progress in 2024 and I look forward to sharing more progress in the coming months."
Financial Highlights
$1.2 million revenue 2024, up 59% over the prior year.
Nu.Q® Vet revenue up 75% and Nu.Q® Discover revenue up 40% versus 2023.
Operating expenses were down by 23% vs prior year as cost reduction measures took effect, with second half expenses down by 31%.
