Trinity Delta Lighthouse: ANGLE

Trinity Delta view: Despite significant progress during 2022, including the FDA clearance of Parsortix and the highly positive ovarian cancer data, broader market headwinds dictate a more cautious stance into 2023. These challenging conditions have led to increased focus on cost control at ANGLE’s potential partners and customers, causing delays in commercial uptake. Consequently, revenues are unlikely to accelerate as rapidly as previously anticipated. Regardless of these external factors, ANGL

Trinity Delta Lighthouse: ANGLE

Trinity Delta view: May’s FDA clearance was a major validation of Parsortix’s utility; with numerous further studies endorsing its value as a diagnostic in multiple tumour settings. Management’s challenge is addressing these wide-ranging potential uses in a systematic, effective, and efficient manner. H122 results highlight the strategy to address a variety of distinct diagnostic segments, with both near- and longer-term objectives, is gaining momentum. The recent £18.9m equity raise removes nea

Trinity Delta Lighthouse: ANGLE

Trinity Delta view: The FDA clearance of the Parsortix system in mBC was a major turning point for ANGLE, providing gold standard validation of the unrivalled flexibility, consistency, and clinical insights it provides. The challenge now shifts to maximising industry awareness and capitalising on the multiple clinical opportunities. Management is pursuing a well-articulated strategy addressing a number of distinct diagnostic segments, with both near- and longer-term objectives. This equity raise

Trinity Delta Lighthouse: ANGLE

Trinity Delta view: FDA clearance of the Parsortix system in mBC has been a clear focus for many investors. Achievement of this gold standard validation could transform ANGLE, with a potential near-term acceleration in revenues from the Pharma Service business, in which we see significant value. Longer-term, this could also drive revenues in mBC. We continue to believe ANGLE is well positioned to capitalise on growing recognition of the utility of CTC analysis in investigating protein markers on

Trinity Delta Lighthouse: ANGLE

Trinity Delta view: During 2021 ANGLE laid important foundations ahead of key events that should accelerate commercial prospects. Positive momentum in pharma services contracts and corporate partnerships coupled to new assay and LDT development will contribute to top-line growth. However, potential FDA clearance of the Parsortix system in mBC is a clear focus for many investors and will provide important validation for external partners. ANGLE is well positioned to capitalise on growing recognit

FDA approval awaited, LDT data expected H122

ANGLE’s updates reveal dialogue with FDA for Parsortix’s approval for use in mBC (metastatic breast cancer) is continuing and constructive, first submissions for accreditation of UK and US clinical laboratories have been made, but development of the ovarian cancer LDT (Laboratory Developed Test) has been hampered by a delay to data read out from a key study (due to third-party supply issues) to H122.

Positive full year update highlights upside risk

VLG has reported a positive year end update after a strong Q4 performance, particularly across its Customer Brands division. The team at Biokosmes delivered an exceptional year, helping to protect key customers against the ongoing supply chain difficulties. This performance puts VLG on track to at least deliver FY profit expectations, and we have upgraded FY22 EPS by 5.5%. While we make no changes to FY23 forecasts at this stage, on balance we see risk to the upside. On just 5.0x EV/EBITDA, and

Kromek - Interim results – strong revenue growth

Kromek reported interim results with revenues up 44% to £6.8m, an EBITDA loss of £2.7m and period-end cash of £1.0m. A record order book and good visibility over our FY 2023 revenue forecast of £18m (c.91% of which 84% is already contracted or shipped) should still deliver a positive EBITDA in H2, but given inflationary cost pressures and a negative FX impact on translated US costs, it is unlikely to offset the H1 loss as previously anticipated. We reduce FY 2023 EBITDA and PBT by £2.4m and £2.8

Confirming further upgrades post positive update

At the trading update earlier this week, NIOX indicated FY22 EBITDA would be around £7.0m, ~15% ahead of already upgraded expectations, with net cash coming in at £19.4m. This was driven by 15% underlying revenue growth, improved gross margins on mix and ongoing operational efficiencies. We formally update our estimates in this note, increasing our FY22 PBT/EPS forecast by 20% but, prudently, leaving FY23/24 unchanged for now.

In line Q4; opportune time to capitalise the Swiss giant’s sell-off

Q4 sales met expectations, with both Pharmaceuticals and Diagnostics witnessing healthy growth, excluding receding COVID-19 testing tailwinds. In Oncology, newer drugs largely compensated for sustained biosimilar erosion for off-patent drugs. Other areas, including Neuroscience and Haemophilia, also contributed healthily. However, 2023 guidance was weak, because of the declining COVID-19 business contribution. Now all eyes are on recently-approved drugs and late-stage pipeline candidates. Overal
