• Conducted successful $103.5m capital raise and dual listed on ASX
• Well positioned to capitalise on commercial milestones as Covid-19 restrictions ease, with a strong balance
sheet and scaled up operations in the U.S.
Cancer diagnostics business, Pacific Edge Limited (NZX/ASX: PEB) has reported continuing growth for the six months
ended 30 September 2021 (1H22), with key performance metrics significantly ahead of the same time last year,
driven by reimbursement milestones, increasing insurance coverage and adoption by urologists and healthcare
organisations.
CEO of Pacific Edge, David Darling, commented: “The momentum seen in 2H21 has continued with growth in test
volumes, sales and cash receipts. This is particularly pleasing given the resurgence in Covid-19 restrictions due to
the spread of the Delta variant, which further restricted access to clinics and urologists for both patients and for
our sales people in both the U.S. and New Zealand. As Covid-19 restrictions are lifted and access improves, we
expect to see a positive impact on our business.
“With a restructured balance sheet and significant cash resources now in hand, we continue to focus on scaling up
our commercial operations to accelerate our growth in the U.S. and other targeted markets. We continue to make
good progress as we position our Cxbladder suite of tests as the diagnostic product of choice for urologists and
patients. The clinical evidence supporting the outperformance of our products, growing endorsement by key
opinion leaders and our first mover advantage all serve to provide a strong competitive advantage for our business.”
In particular, the recent clinical papers published in the leading Journal of Urology, highlight a pivotal shift in clinical
utility from, firstly, an increase in clinical resolution from the combined use of multiple Cxbladder tests for each
patient presenting with haematuria and, secondly, the gain in clinical utility from Pacific Edge’s PIHSS for

25 November 2021
management of patients outside the clinic. These publications are expected to provide added impetus to the
adoption of Cxbladder by urologists and healthcare organisations.
1H FY22 Financial Result Summary
Total Revenue increased 66% to $6.7m and Operating Revenue from Cxbladder sales increased 62% on the prior
comparative period (pcp) to $5.4m. This record result reflects the continued positive impact from the commercial
milestones achieved in 1H21, particularly LCD inclusion for Cxbladder Monitor and Cxbladder Triage from 1 July
2020 as well as growing adoption and use by urologists and healthcare organisations.
Total Laboratory Throughput (TLT) increased 62% on pcp and 24% on the prior six month period (2H FY21) to 11,136
tests.
Commercial test volumes increased 64% on pcp and 24% on the prior six month period (2H FY21) to 9,192 tests,
and accounted for 83% of TLT (up from 82% in FY21).
The U.S. market accounted for 81% of TLT, 81% of commercial test volumes and 93% of operating revenue. CMS
related tests (Medicare and Medicare Advantage) accounted for 65% of total U.S. commercial test volumes.
Cxbladder Detect and Cxbladder Monitor (the two Cxbladder tests included in the LCD) accounted for 95% of total
U.S. commercial test volumes.
Cash receipts from customers increased 110% on pcp to $5.4m, reflecting the positive impact of cash
reimbursement from the CMS and increased volumes.
Operating expenses increased 41% on pcp to $15.7m as the company invested for growth, and particularly the sales
and marketing efforts in the US.
For the six month period, Pacific Edge reported a Net Loss After Tax of $9.0m, an increase of 27% on pcp.
The recent capital raise of $103.5m has significantly strengthened the Company’s balance sheet. As at 30
September 2021, net cash, cash equivalents and short term deposits were $91.6m (which excludes the $23.5m
raised in the Retail Offer that was completed post-period end in October 2021).
Commercial Progress
The company continues to achieve commercial milestones as it progresses its global growth strategy. In particular,
in 1H22, Pacific Edge reported:
• Growth in the US sales force from 16 to 28 (75%) and the addition of two new sales territories
• Commercial adoption of second Cxbladder product (Cxbladder Triage) by Kaiser Permanente
• Expansion of coverage in New Zealand, with Northland and Taranaki public healthcare providers (DHBs)
adopting Cxbladder into use taking the total coverage to more than 70% of New Zealand’s population
Company Announcement
25 November 2021
• Acceptance of an important clinical paper outlining the significant increase in clinical resolution that can be
achieved from using multiple Cxbladder products in the evaluation of a patient presenting to the clinic with
haematuria
• Publication of real world lookback study in the U.S, highlighting the clinical utility of Cxbladder in a Covid19
setting for managing patients outside the clinic
• Analysis of results from Singapore study on-track for publication in early 2022. This will form the basis of
Pacific Edge’s planned commercial rollout in Southeast Asia, which is expected to become a market of scale
for Cxbladder over time similar to the U.S
• Dual listing on the ASX in September 2021
• Completion of successful $103.5 million capital raise to enable the company to capitalise on recent
commercial milestones and to accelerate the execution of its global growth strategy in markets of scale
• In October 2021, announced the appointment of new CEO, Dr Peter Meintjes, who will commence in the
role in January 2022.
Outlook
Pacific Edge has a positive outlook for FY22 and beyond and is well positioned to capitalise on the opportunities
available to the company.
The U.S. market remains the primary focus and continued growth is expected once Covid-19 restrictions ease. The
scaled up U.S. commercial operations provide the capacity and resource to drive growth opportunities and positive
results from this investment are now starting to be seen. The U.S. sales team grew to 28 experienced sales
representatives over the last year, with 30 sales reps expected to be operating by end-November.
The focus for FY22 is on growing the commercial adoption of Cxbladder by Kaiser Permanente and other large
healthcare organisations, further increasing reimbursement coverage from private payers, and achieving a positive
shift in guideline inclusion language following the publication of new clinical evidence further supporting the clinical
utility of Cxbladder.
Full integration into Kaiser’s patient referral system and Electronic Medical Records has yet to be concluded and
continues to constrain the growth rate expected from this important customer. Despite this, commercial test
numbers continue to grow.
The recent clinical papers supporting the combined use of multiple Cxbladder products will further evolve how
urothelial cancer is diagnosed and managed, with Cxbladder once again leading the way and delivering a greatly
enriched clinical proposition for urologists. These papers also provide additional support in favour of inclusion in
guidelines and national standards, which remains a key component that will drive widespread adoption of
Cxbladder.
Pacific Edge’s rest of world markets – New Zealand, Australia and Singapore – are markets of strategic importance,
with tailored plans being executed dependent on each market’s commercial maturity.
Chairman of Pacific Edge, Chris Gallaher, said: “Pacific Edge’s growth momentum over the last six months, despite
the ongoing headwinds from Covid19, confirms the validity of our global growth strategy and the way we go to
market. We have a committed and experienced team, with significant funding in place to allow us to scale up and
to deliver revenue growth and value creation for our shareholders in FY22 and beyond. We are confident in our
Company Announcement

future and the actions we are taking now are positioning us to accelerate our growth trajectory once Covid-19
restrictions ease.”

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.
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.

Laboratory Throughput is a key metric for the Group: Laboratory Throughput provides
evidence of the usage of Cxbladder products globally and the rates of adoption between
different customer segments. Total Laboratory Throughput includes commercial tests,
which are invoiced to customers, and research tests which are not considered to be
billable as these tests relate to user programs or other non-chargeable activities.
Commercial test numbers are also a key metric for the Group: Commercial Tests are those
tests for which the Company is actively seeking reimbursement and cash receipts, and
tests performed at no charge in order to gain new customers.

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
10. UNRECOGNISED REVENUE
Approximately 40% of Cxbladder tests performed by the Group in the US up to 30th June
2020 relate to patients covered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
The Group invoiced CMS for test performed for all patients with CMS coverage, however
no revenue from these tests has been recognised.
On 3rd July 2020 the Company received a positive coverage decision from CMS, which
results in the Company receiving reimbursement for all Cxbladder Monitor and Detect
tests performed after 1 July 2020 for patients covered by the (CMS) across the US that are
deemed medically necessary. Reimbursement for these tests is at the already determined
national CMS price for Cxbladder of US$760 per test.
The Company has commenced discussions with Novitas Solutions Inc who administer the
health insurance for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid CMS seeking reimbursement for
tests performed prior to 30 June 2020 for patients covered by the CMS.
Tests performed prior to 30 June 2020 for CMS total 22,634.
No revenue has been recognised for these tests as they do not meet the definition of
revenue as per IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as there is no certainty
of any reimbursement on any of these tests performed prior to 30 June 2020, and
there is no ability to reliably estimate the level of consideration that would be received if
agreement can be reached with Novitas Solutions Inc over these previously performed
tests.
11. CAPITAL COMMITMENTS
There are no capital commitments at 30 September 2021 (September 2020: Nil and
March 2021: Nil).
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Retail Offer of the capital raise detailed in Note 7. Share Capital was opened on the
28th September 2021, and closed on the 13th October 2021. The Group raised a further
$23.487m capital via the Retail Offer, with 17,389,099 shares allotted at $1.35 on the 20th
October 2021. Proceeds of the Retail Offer have not been included in the Balance Sheet as
at 30 September 2021.

13. THE IMPACT OF COVID-19
Covid-19 continues to have an impact on the throughput, revenue and expenses of the
Group.
In the markets the Group operates in, measures have been employed by Governments in
an attempt to limit the spread of the virus. This has restricted the ability for people to visit
clinics and have tests performed for the occurrence of bladder cancer. This resulted in
reduced throughput quantities for the group for the twelve months ended 31 March 2021.
While throughput quantities have increased in six months to 30 September 2021 (up 62%
on the prior corresponding six months ended 30 September 2020, and up 24% on the
previous six months ended 31 March 2021) the markets we operate in are still feeling the
effects of Covid-19, which is impacting the rate at which the Group can grow.
Offsetting the reduced access to urologists has been the increased adoption of the unique
in-home sampling system which allows patients to perform tests at home, with the results
provided to their urologist.
14. RELATED PARTIES
