Trinity Delta Lighthouse: Avacta
Trinity Delta view: The upsized fundraise of £31.1m (gross), together with existing cash of £16.6m (at 1 January 2024), are expected to provide a cash runway of c 24 months (ie into early 2026) covering a number of value inflection points in AVA6000’s development pathway, which could bring opportunities for non-dilutive funding for the broader pre|CISION platform. Monetising Diagnostics through divestment would also bring in non-dilutive funding, but may, in our view, be targeted for later in this period, giving management time to embed the acquisitions, and improve the sales and profitability trajectory. As usual in such situations, we suspend our valuation and forecasts; for context our last published Avacta valuation was £672m (equivalent to 237p per share).
