Tristel - Strong interims and US regulatory progress

Tristel reported interim results that were c.2% above the trading update at its AGM on 17 December with adjusted pre-tax profit of £3.4m (+12%) driven by a 15% increase in revenues. Despite the strong first half there is a cautionary tone to the second half, given the lacklustre start to H2 FY 2021 as a result of lockdown in many of its markets impacting out-patient procedures. That said, our forecasts assume 5% revenue growth in H2 with adjusted PBT 5% below H2 FY 2020. With the prospect of vaccination rollout opening markets, there is a clear route to achieving and exceeding our forecasts, but for the time being we leave forecasts unchanged. However, confirmation that it has completed a Usability and Form Factor study in the US is a significant milestone, underpinning our confidence for US market access and the reason for increasing our target price to 550p, which implies a prospective 3.0% free cashflow yield.

Muted end to FY20, promising FY21 pipeline

Smith & Nephew reported an in line Q4/FY20 top line (-7.1%/-12.1%). The Q4 decline was attributable to other reconstruction (-45.6%), knees (-16.2%) and ENT (-33.1%), while Hips surprised with a flattish performance (-0.5%) in a difficult operating environment. The firm missed profit estimates, as trading profit fell 42% (margin -7.8pp to 15%). The dividend of 37.5c/share was unchanged from the prior year. FY21 sales/profit outlook remains suspended due to COVID-19 uncertainties. We will lower our estimates to factor in the softer than expected bottom-line showing.

Gloomy outlook for FY21; R&D setbacks worrisome

Although GSK witnessed a sales recovery in Q4, fresh lockdowns meant the top line was still in the red – Consumer Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals were the key drags, though Vaccines posted a strong show. Given the COVID-19-related disruptions, management anticipates a soft H1 21 with normality guided for H2. Ergo, the FY21 EPS is seen mid-to-high single-digit lower (vs. FY20: -4%). The spin-off of Consumer Healthcare remains on track for FY22 but a couple of recent R&D setbacks raise questions over the company’s innovation/acquisition capabilities.

Interim results shows strong financial progress

Today’s interims is the latest evidence that the strategic progress made in 2020 is translating into financial results and improved fundamentals. Headline H1 revenue growth of 593% vs. H1’20 and 259% vs. the entire of FY’20 is eye-catching (albeit from a low base), but for us the encouraging factor is that this performance is on a much leaner cost base with losses in the period significantly narrowing. We believe this is the first step along a path towards sustainable growth and profitability, and we are confident in the management’s ability to meet our forecasts and make no changes to our numbers at this stage. We reiterate our view of Oncimmune as one of our Best Ideas for 2021.

ANGLE - Placing raises £19.6m

ANGLE raised £19.6m (gross) to capitalise on the first-mover advantage that the FDA clearance for Parsortix will create, catalysing ANGLE’s ability to exploit the emerging multi-billion dollar liquid biopsy market. It will enable ANGLE to pursue multiple parallel revenue streams: (i) as a service provider to the pharma industry particularly looking to improve on immunotherapy patient outcomes (companion diagnostics) and (ii) to develop a number of specific clinical applications. Not only does it strengthen the balance sheet ahead of partner discussions but it provides the resources to develop in parallel relevant laboratory developed tests and fund the necessary clinical utility studies that will accelerate clinical adoption. We re-introduce forecasts and raise our target price to 150p (c.£310m EV), which is supported by risk-adjusted DCF and peer group analyses.

Shield Therapeutics - Beefing up for the US opportunity

Shield Therapeutics’ (STX’s) shares fell sharply in December 2020 on the announcement that a US partnering deal would not be completed in 2020 and that the company is considering launching Accrufer itself in the US. We believe the market reaction has been overdone and the current share price fully discounts any value from the US and China opportunities. Until STX provides further clarity, we have continued to evaluate it based on a US partnering deal. Our modelling suggests an STX-led US launch could more than double longer-term shareholder value, but this is accompanied by increased near-term financial and investment risk, as STX will need to raise funds to establish a small but focused US marketing organisation. We value STX at £298.5m.

Omega Diagnostics - Government contract and trading update

The announcement that Omega has agreed a manufacturing contract with the UK Government to produce lateral flow antigen tests, as part of its plans to control the spread of the coronavirus, is a significant endorsement of Omega’s capabilities and competencies, as the government seemingly seeks to ensure the security of supply of such tests from within the UK. We have adjusted FY 2021 forecasts downwards to reflect the concomitant trading update, which highlights a c.£3.3m shortfall in revenues, largely attributed to COVID-19 disruptions. With confirmation that Omega is on track to produce c.2m tests per week (c.100m tests per annum), the financial impact to the business could be very substantial in FY 2022; however, we await news of future purchase orders from the UK Government. Thus, we leave our FY 2022 forecasts and target price under review.

Strategically important US distribution deal

Hot on the heels of signing up Adler as US distributor for its range of surgical instruments, SUN has further strengthened its US market position by appointing Microline Surgical to distribute its range of port access devices and trocars. This is a five year exclusive agreement and comes after SUN achieved 510k approval for its Yelloport Elite device in late 2019. This opens up a ~$380m market opportunity for SUN and even modest penetration would result in material additional revenues over the next few years. Whilst we currently have no outer year forecasts given the ongoing uncertainty caused by Covid on elective surgical volumes, this latest announcement adds to a string of positive recent developments which we believe could collectively transform the growth prospects for the group.
