• 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.

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
4
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

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.

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.

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%

•Total laboratory throughput expected to be stronger in

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
