Free cash flow totaled AUD 9.4 million after AUD 13.8 million in capital expenditures.

The company’s cash balance increased to AUD 35.4 million at year-end, up from AUD 33.5 million a year earlier. Gross margins remained at 89% for the full year, with the second-half figure exceeding 90% and July’s margin approaching 95%. Capital expenditures included AUD 12.4 million for the new Port Melbourne manufacturing facility and AUD 1.4 million for R&D lab reconstruction, fully covered by insurance.

U.S. sales reached AUD 102 million, up 15.6% in reported currency and 21.1% in constant currency, marking the first time Americas revenue exceeded AUD 100 million. The company added 200 new hospital accounts in the U.S., bringing the total to over 880, supported by a sales team of 106.
