Update on Life Sciences expansion

Despite continued strong revenue growth from the existing Point-of-Care and Life Sciences activities, it is now apparent the new capacity expansion programme for enzymes fermentation will not contribute to revenues this year. As a result, management is now guiding to FY23 group revenues of ~£53m and Adj EBITDA of ~£10m, both around £4m lower than previous expectations. We update our forecasts accordingly and expect more information around the shape of the revenue ramp up in FY24 at the upcoming

Ongoing manufacturing issues impact margin

Whilst underlying demand drivers remain strong and FY23 revenue expectations are unchanged, ongoing supply chain disruption and legacy manufacturing productivity issues are dragging on margins.
