• Revenue from test sales up 43% on prior comparative first half year period (pcp).

• Billable test volumes up 12%, relative to a strong pcp and currently account for 82% of total laboratory throughput.

• Net operating cash outflow has reduced to ($8.6m) for the period, a 15% decrease on the previous first half year.

• Commercial adoption of Cxbladder by national healthcare providers is at a high level in Pacific Edge’s home market

of New Zealand and continues to improve, with 62% coverage providing significant local and international validation

(1H18: 36% coverage).

• Completion of two of the three milestones required for the USA national reimbursement being receipt of product

codes and notification of a national price (US$760 per test).

• Increased focus on large healthcare organisations in all markets is providing commercial traction; resulting in the

commercial evaluation of Cxbladder by Johns Hopkins Medicine, an US$8 billion integrated global health enterprise

and one of the leading health care systems in the USA.

• Commercial engagement with Raffles Medical Group and User Programmes with the five largest hospitals in

Singapore is driving strong engagement with other potential strategic partners across South East Asia.

• Pacific Edge intends to undertake a placement of up to $7m of new shares, followed by a share purchase plan of up

to $5m, to assist the company to progress its commercial objectives and become cash flow positive as soon as

possible.


Cancer diagnostics company, Pacific Edge Limited (NZX: PEB) has today announced its preliminary, unaudited results for

the six months to 30 September 2018 (1H19), reporting a 43% increase in test sales, a 15% decrease in operating cash

outflow and a 13% reduction in the net loss for the period.


The company, which is primarily focused on the US$1.2 billion annual addressable market

1

for its Cxbladder bladder

cancer diagnostic test in the USA, continues to grow sales and build awareness amongst leading urologists and healthcare

institutions.


The FY19 financial year to date has seen some notable firsts, including Cxbladder being added into local guidelines for

several of the public healthcare providers in New Zealand, engagement with a number of large healthcare organisations

including commencement of a commercial evaluation with Johns Hopkins Medicine, and notification of the national CMS

reimbursement price in the USA of US$760 per test.

2

Validation from the New Zealand market is now at high levels, with approximately 62% of New Zealand’s population now

covered by contracts with the national public healthcare providers (up from 36% at the same time last year). This is

expected to increase further as remaining providers come on board. The majority have now adopted Cxbladder into their

standard of care and, in some cases, their clinical guidelines, replacing the gold standard cystoscopy. The company

expects to see the contribution from New Zealand’s public healthcare providers positively impact on commercial test

throughput in the second half of FY19.


The USA market remains the priority for Pacific Edge. Management is focused on completing agreements and building

sales from the large institutional accounts and payers it is targeting, including Kaiser Permanente, the recently

announced Johns Hopkins Medicine, the Veterans Administration and Tricare, the CMS and other blue chip institutions.


The company has now completed two of the three cornerstones of the USA national reimbursement process, and

progress continues to be made with the third of these cornerstones, which is to have Cxbladder included in the Local

Coverage Determination (LCD). This will allow for reimbursement of tests used by patients covered by the CMS. The

process is largely driven by peer reviewed, published clinical and utility evidence for the Cxbladder products, with a

general ‘rule of thumb’ being that it takes around five years to generate the specific evidence and gain inclusion into the

LCD. Pacific Edge commenced the LCD process in 2014 and continues to make good progress.


Following the success in New Zealand with the increased uptake by the national public healthcare providers, Pacific Edge

has increased its focus on large institutional healthcare organisations in its USA, South East Asia and Australasian markets.

While these customers can take longer to bring to completion, once commercial agreement is reached they can provide

significant volume, require lower sales maintenance and deliver more sustainable, longer term growth opportunities.


User Programmes are now underway with all five targeted hospitals in Singapore. Several are nearing completion and

the focus is on transitioning these to commercial customers. In Australia, Pacific Edge has taken over the sales and

distribution of Cxbladder, building on the successful practices developed in the New Zealand market.


Adoption of Cxbladder is growing and commercial sales are increasing. Pacific Edge has experienced a year on year 12%

lift in billable tests in 1H19, consolidating and growing on the strong numbers in 1H18. Total laboratory throughput,

which includes commercial sales as well as tests from User Programmes, grew to 7,397 tests in 1H19.


Operating revenue

2

from test sales was up 43% to $2.0m, with total revenue for the period of $2.6m. The company

accounts for its US revenue on a cash basis, and therefore operating revenue excludes tests sold in the US for which cash

payment has yet to be received, as well as tests completed for patients covered by the CMS

3

. The average payment

received per test by Pacific Edge is dependent on the mix of payers and insurance plans of each patient and can vary

significantly from period to period.


Pacific Edge has a prudent approach to its investment into the growth of the company. Total operating expenses for the

half year were down 6% to $11.4m with revenue outgrowing expenses by a net 13%. Operating expenses include research

and development costs of $1.7m (a 23% year on year decrease), with the remainder being direct operating costs.


2

Pacific Edge adopted NZ IFRS 15 in FY18. This means revenue for US based customers is now only recognised when the cash is received.

Under the previous accounting standard, which took into account all tests sold but which may not have yet been paid for, operating revenue

would have been $5.6m in 1H19, compared to $4.2m in 1H18 (an increase of 33%).


3

CMS tests account for approximately 47% of annual US laboratory throughput and cumulatively totalled in excess of 14,000 tests as at 30

September 2018. Pacific Edge will seek reimbursement for these when it is included in the CMS’s Local Coverage Determination (LCD).

Until then, these tests remain in the billing and reimbursement process and revenue will be accounted for when the cash is received.


3


Net operating cash outflows reduced to ($8.6m) for the period, a 15% decrease on 1H18. Cash receipts from customers

increased 22% to $2.0m with a large portion of the cash received in 1H19 being for tests sold in prior years.


Overall, the company reported a net loss of $8.7m for the half year, an improvement of 13% on the 1H18 loss of $10.0m.


Pacific Edge had $10.1m in cash, cash equivalents and short term deposits at 30 September 2018 (1H18: $4.0m), which

includes the investment of approximately $2.6m by US private investment fund, Manchester Management Company,

which specialises in biotech and life sciences investments. The company is undertaking a capital raise to assist in

progressing its commercial objectives and becoming cash flow positive as soon as possible.


Outlook


Pacific Edge is expecting a stronger second half of FY19, in line with annual trends as Americans with private healthcare

insurance reach their annual fixed deductible level

4

. The company also expects to see demand from public healthcare

providers in New Zealand positively impact commercial test throughput volumes in the second half of FY19.


Laboratory throughput is expected to increase by 23% in the second half of FY19, taking laboratory throughput for the

full year to approximately 16,500 tests (FY18: 14,448 tests)

5

. Approximately 82% of these tests are expected to be

billable, equating to a 14% year on year increase in commercial test volumes. The expected laboratory throughput in

FY19 excludes test volumes from any new commercial agreements which have yet to be signed. The New Zealand market

is expected to contribute approximately 18% of total laboratory throughput in FY19 (FY18: 14%).


Forward growth in commercial tests in the US will benefit from having a national product specific code for Cxbladder and

a national CMS reimbursement price. These milestones allow the company to move into the process of negotiating

contract terms with private payers, which will enable a shortening of the overall commercial transaction time and a

positive reduction in the time to receipt of cash.


CEO of Pacific Edge, David Darling, said: “Many of the foundations for commercial success have now been completed.

We have a proven business model, as can be seen in the uptake of Cxbladder in New Zealand, and we are using learnings

from this to replicate our success in other international markets.


“We are focused on growing adoption of Cxbladder by the large healthcare organisations which will be drivers of success

in our business. Gaining inclusion in the Local Coverage Determination remains a priority.”


Chairman Chris Gallaher said that the Board remained committed to the company’s strategy and to achieving the key

milestone of cashflow breakeven.


“The impact Cxbladder makes for the large healthcare providers that have burgeoning patient needs, few resources and

need to show value changes for their clinical services, is very clear. We are looking forward to successfully executing on

the next phase of our global growth plan as we continue to progress our objective of taking Cxbladder to the world.”




4

Annual fixed deductible is the amount a patient must pay before their insurance cover commences and they start to undertake the

medically recommended actions and treatments for which they will be reimbursed by their insurance company.


5

The company’s estimate for laboratory throughput for FY19 is expected to fall within a range of 16,000 and 17,000 tests

Capital Raising


Pacific Edge intends to undertake a placement of new shares at $0.35 to raise up to $7 m. The placement will occur today

while Pacific Edge is in trading halt, with participants including a range of institutional investors. Following completion of

the placement, a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) of up to $5 m will allow each New Zealand resident shareholder to subscribe

OVERVIEW www.pacificedge.co.nz www.pacificedgedx.com

Pacific Edge Limited (NZX: PEB) is a New Zealand publicly listed, cancer diagnostic company specialising in the discovery and

commercialisation of diagnostic and prognostic tests for better detection and management of cancer. Its Cxbladder suite of non-invasive,

simple to use and accurate diagnostic tests provide actionable results, and better detection and management of urothelial cancer. The

company is developing and commercialising its range of Cxbladder bladder cancer tests globally through its wholly owned central laboratories

in New Zealand and the USA. The company’s products have been tested and validated in international multi-centre clinical studies.


ABOUT Cxbladder Triage www.cxbladder.com

Cxbladder Triage combines the power of the genomic biomarkers with additional phenotypic and clinical risk factors to accurately identify

patients with haematuria who have a low probability of bladder cancer and may not require a more extensive urological evaluation.

Cxbladder Triage is a tool for use by clinicians and physicians in primary evaluation of patients

with haematuria and is intended to reduce the need for an expensive and invasive work-up in patients who have a low probability of having

urothelial carcinoma.


ABOUT Cxbladder Detect www.cxbladder.com

Cxbladder Detect enables the non-invasive detection of bladder and other urinary tract cancers from a small volume of a patients’ urine.

Cxbladder Detect provides clinicians with a quick, cost effective and accurate measure of the presence of the cancer as an effective adjunct

to cystoscopy.


ABOUT Cxbladder Monitor www.cxbladder.com

Cxbladder Monitor allows urologists to monitor bladder cancer patients for recurrence of the disease. Bladder cancer has a recurrence rate

of 50-80% and requires life-long surveillance. Cxbladder Monitor accurately identifies patients with a prior history of urothelial cancer (UC)

whose Cxbladder Monitor score shows that they have a low probability of recurrent urothelial carcinoma. Cxbladder Monitor is designed to

be used as the preferred adjunct test to cystoscopy in the management of patients for ongoing evaluation of recurrent bladder cancer.


5

ABOUT Cxbladder Resolve www.cxbladder.com

Cxbladder Resolve identifies those patients who are likely to have aggressive or more advanced bladder cancer. Cxbladder Resolve, when

used as part of the primary evaluation of haematuria and/or in conjunction with other Cxbladder tests (Triage, Detect), is designed to assist

clinicians by accurately identifying patients with a high probability of having high grade or late stage bladder cancer, for whom alternative or

expedited treatment options may be warranted, or who can be prioritised for further investigation in high throughput settings.

4. RESTATEMENT

NZ IFRS 15: Revenue from contracts with customers (NZ IFRS 15)

The Group previously reported in the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March

2018 it had early adopted NZ IFRS 15 from 1 April 2017 which resulted in changes in

accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

In accordance with the transition provisions in NZ IFRS 15, the Group adopted the new

rules retrospectively and has restated comparatives for the 2017 financial year. None of the

available practical expedients have been applied.

Following its initial assessment of NZ IFRS 15 in 2017, the Group previously indicated that

there would not be a significant impact on the financial statements from the adoption of

this standard. This assessment was based on the expected completion of large customer

agreements during FY18, in particular inclusion in the Local Coverage Determination (LCD)

with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) and signing a commercial contract with

Kaiser Permanente. As these agreements were not concluded during FY18, the Group

reassessed the impact of NZ IFRS 15 and decided that the adoption of this standard

would have a significant impact on the recognition of revenue relating to Cxbladder tests

undertaken for US customers. There is no material impact for contracts with customers not

based in the US.

The Group presented the FY18 Interim Financial Statements on the basis it was not intending

to adopt NZ IFRS 15 from 1 April 2017. Due to this significant impact on the Group’s reported

financial results, the Group subsequently decided it was appropriate to early adopt NZ IFRS

15. An explanation of the change in revenue recognition can be found in Note 2 of the

2018 Annual Financial Statements. The tables below outline the changes required to the

previously reported comparative Interim Financial Statements from 30 September 2017.

Impact of NZ IFRS 15 on Previously Reported Financial Results

The specific financial statement line items affected by the change to the accounting policy

for revenue recognition are shown below. The 31 March 2017 balance sheet adjustments

were disclosed in the 31 March 2018 financial statements. These have been included again

here for transparency of movements.

Reclassification of Expenditure

Expenses within the Statement of Comprehensive Income have been reclassified from the

previously reported Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended 30 September

2017. The expenses from the six months ended 30 September 2018 have been prepared on

this new basis. The expenses for the year ended 31 March 2018 are consistent with what

was previously reported in the 31 March 2018 financial statements. The reclassification has

been made to better represent the nature of the costs as the business evolves to allow for

improved comparability.

These reclassifications do not change the total expenses recognised for the six months

ended 30 September 2017. However, total expenses for the 2017 half year have changed

as a result of the implementation of NZ IFRS 15, which is further explained in Note 4 above.

The following reclassifications have been made for the six months ended 30 September 2017:

• Employee benefits, including salaries, wages, superannuation and health and disability

plans, previously included in other expenditure and totalling $3,262,000, have been re-

allocated to the functional areas as follows:

• Laboratory Operations: $700,000

• Sales and Marketing: $2,562,000

• Overhead expenditure, previously included in Other Expenses, totalling $2,195,000 has

been re-allocated to the functional areas as follows:

• Laboratory Operations: $971,000

• Research: $397,000

• Sales and Marketing: $827,000

7. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting

provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is

responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments,

has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer who makes strategic decisions.

There are two operating segments at balance date:

1. Commercial: The sales, marketing, laboratory and support operations to run the

commercial businesses worldwide

2. Research: The research and development of diagnostic and prognostic products for

human cancer.

The reportable operating segment Commercial derives its revenue primarily from sales

of Cxbladder detection tests and the reportable operating segment Research derives its

revenue primarily from grant income. The Chief Executive Officer assesses the performance

of the operating segments based on net (loss) for the period.

Segment income, expenses and profitability are presented on a gross basis excluding inter-

segment eliminations to best represent the performance of each segment operating as

independent business units. The segment information provided to the Chief Executive

Officer for the reportable segment described above, for the period ended 30 September

2018, is shown below.

Sales between segments are carried out at arm’s length. Post adoption of NZ IFRS 15,

the revenue from external parties reported to the Chief Executive Officer is measured in a

manner consistent with that in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Six months to 30 September 2017 5,439 1,680 7,119

Laboratory Throughput is a key metric for the Group: Laboratory Throughput provides

evidence of the increasing usage of Cxbladder products globally and the rates of adoption

between different customer segments. Total laboratory throughput includes billable/

commercial tests, which are invoiced to customers (including CMS tests), and tests which

are not considered to be billable as these tests relate to user programs or other non-

chargeable activities.

Billable/commercial test numbers are also a key metric for the Group: the tests are those

for which the Company is actively seeking reimbursement and cash receipts. Given the

time lag in the US between processing a Cxbladder test and receiving the associated cash

receipts, reported revenue based on the application of our accounting policy and billable

tests do not correlate in the same time period with one another. Billable test numbers also

include tests for CMS patients, which are all invoiced to CMS but for which revenue is not

being recognised.

Note that the Commercial and Research split shown above is reflective of the Billable/

Non-Billable split of laboratory throughput. Therefore the total of the Commercial tests

equals the total of the billable tests and all Research tests shown above are non-billable.

Non-billable tests may however be commercial in nature (ie. will lead to a commercial

relationship).

assets and liabilities are allocated based on the operation of the segment and the physical

location of the asset.

There are no unallocated assets or liabilities.

The Company announced on the 29th of November 2018 that it is completing a private

placement to new and existing shareholders. This private placement is expected to result

in additional capital for the Company of up to $7m. The Company also announced on the

same day a Share Purchase Plan to raise up to $5m of capital from existing shareholders.

The Share Purchase Plan has not been underwritten and is expected to open in December

2018 and close in January 2019.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2018

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

National Pricing for CMS

On the 12th of October 2018, the Company announced that the preliminary national CMS

reimbursement rate of US$760 per Cxbladder test had been publicly notified. This pricing

was finalised during November 2018 and takes effect from 1 January 2019. Obtaining the

pricing is the second of three steps to enable the Company to be reimbursed by CMS for

Cxbladder tests performed for CMS patients. The third and final step is the inclusion of

Cxbladder in the Local Coverage Determination (LCD) which the Company continues to

work towards achieving.

13. GOING CONCERN

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which

assumes that the Company will have sufficient cash to pay its debts as they fall due for a

minimum of 12 months from the signing of the Interim Financial Statements.

As at 30 September 2018, the Company had $10.060m of cash and cash equivalents on

hand (2017: $3.997m) and net assets of $10.894m (2017: $5.221m). Cash receipts totalling

$2.939m were received in the six month period to 30 September 2018 (2017: $1.962m) along

with additional capital of $2.623m (2017: $94k). Net cash out flows from operating activities

for the six month period to 30 September 2018 were $8.612m (2017: $10.185m).

While the Company continues to incur operating losses, the Company remains solvent and

continues to pay its debts as they fall due. The Company continues to progress commercial

negotiations with targeted large scale health organisations in the USA and whilst these

negotiations are taking longer than expected to complete, the Company continues to

make good progress with these negotiations. The new contracts that will result from these

commercial negotiations will have a significant positive impact on the Company’s financial

position once they are concluded.

The Company has prepared cash flow forecasts which indicates that if these commercial

negotiations continue to be delayed, the Company may not have sufficient cash to meet its

minimum expenditure commitments and support its current levels of activity. The Company

may therefore need to raise additional funds to continue as a going concern.

To address the future additional funding requirements of the Company, the Directors have:

- Entered into discussions to secure additional equity funding from current or new

shareholders,

- Continued to monitor the Company’s ongoing working capital requirements and

minimum expenditure commitments, and

- Continued to focus on maintaining an appropriate level of expenditure in line with the

Company’s available cash resources.

The Directors are confident that they will be able to obtain additional equity funding to

enable the Company to meet its minimum expenditure requirements and support its planned

level of expenditure. However, in the event that the Company is not able to successfully

complete the fundraising, a material uncertainty may exist which may cast significant doubt

on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern with the current capital and cost

structures.

HIGHLIGHTS:

•43% increase in test sales

•6% decrease in operating expenses

•Operating cash outflow reduced 15%

•Reported net loss of $8.7m

•November 2018 placement and SPP

will assist the company to progress

its commercial objectives and

become cash flow positive as soon as

possible

1 Revenue excludes tests sold in the US for which cash payment has yet to be received, as well as tests completed for patients covered by the CMS. CMS tests account for

approximately 47% of annual US laboratory throughput and Pacific Edge will seek reimbursement for these when it is included in the CMS’s Local Coverage Determination (LCD).

KEY METRICS: LABORATORY THROUGHPUT

Slide 9

•12% increase in billable test volumes, consolidating and

growing on the strong numbers in 1H18

•Billable tests account for 82% of total volume (1H18 76%)

•CMS tests account for approximately 47% of annual US

laboratory throughput and cumulatively totalled in excess

of 14,000 tests at 30 September 2018

•Implied average price of NZ$923 per test in 1H19, up 19%

from the pcpaverage of NZ$778 per test

•Total laboratory throughput expected to be stronger in

the second half of FY19

Pacific Edge FY19 Half Year Result and Capital Raise Presentation
KEY METRICS: OPERATING CASHFLOW

Slide 10

Operating cash outflow reduced 16%

•Net operating cash outflow reduced to ($8.6m), a 15%

decrease on 1H18: ($10.2m)

•Monthly cash outflow for 1H19 reduced to average $1.4m

(1H18: $1.7m). The first half of the financial year traditionally

has higher cash outflows due to annual costs being incurred in

the first half (e.g. insurance payments)

•Cash receipts from customers reflect the long reimbursement

processes, particularly in the US, with a large portion being for

tests sold in prior years

•Payment terms currently average 7 to 12 months lag between

completion of test and payment by relevant US payer

(insurer). Improvement expected now that national product

codes and a national CMS reimbursement price have been

received

•The growth in billable test volumes in 2H18 and 1H19 will

therefore progressively convert to cash in 2H19 and beyond
