AUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR TO 31 MARCH 2025

PACIFIC EDGE REPORTS RESILIENT PERFORMANCE IN FY25

DUNEDIN, New Zealand – Cancer diagnostics company Pacific Edge (NZX, ASX: PEB) today

reports a resilient financial result for the year to the end of March 2025. Improvements in the

performance of the sales force, operating efficiencies and cash collection gains over the

financial year have positioned the company well as it works towards regaining Medicare

coverage of its tests.

Pacific Edge today also announces a NZ$20 million equity raising to capitalize on recent clinical

and commercial milestones, grow in non-Medicare channels and regain Medicare coverage.

The details of the capital raising are covered in a separate announcement to the NZX and ASX

today.

FY25 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

1


• Operating revenue down 8.6% on FY 24 to $21.8 million, reflecting Medicare uncertainty.

Total revenue is down 16% on FY 24 to $24.6 million

• Total laboratory throughput

2

(TLT) of Cxbladder tests fell 11.5% on FY 24 to 28,894;

commercial tests fell 9.9% on FY 24 to 26,42 tests

• Tests/Sales FTE in the US for Q4 25 were reported at 405.6, up 6.4% on Q4 24; ASP

3

for

all commercial tests in the US increases to US$594 in FY 25 vs US$584 in FY 24 as

operating efficiencies and cash collection gains continue to improve

• Strong performance from the Southern California Permanente Medical Group, increased

APAC volume and sustained sales force efficiencies reduce the impact of Medicare

uncertainty and the reduced sales team reach

• Net loss after tax +1.4% on FY 24 to $29.9 million, 2H 25 net loss +6.4% on 1H 25 led by

increased expenditure on clinical research, Triage Plus commercialization and legal fees

• Cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits of $22.6 million at the end of FY25; cash

burn of $13.4 million in 2H 25 down 6.7% on 1H 25

FY 25 STRATEGIC PERFORMANCE

• Cxbladder Triage included in the American Urological Association (AUA) guidelines with a

‘Grade A’ evidence rating, the only biomarker to achieve this status

• Triage Plus achieves a draft Medicare price of US$1,018.44, a significant premium to the

current US$760 per test; full scale commercial launch is now contingent on re-coverage

• Medicare coverage discontinued following Genetic Tests for Oncology (Specific Tests)

(L39365) becoming effective after balance date (24 April 2025); Pacific Edge is now

focused on regaining coverage for Triage and Monitor and obtaining coverage and launch

of new products Triage Plus and Monitor Plus

• Commercial team focused on profitable territories, non-Medicare revenue streams and

selling the clinical and economic value of Cxbladder; Cxbladder Detect discontinued

• FY25 Climate Disclosures released in compliance with NZCS


Chairman Chris Gallaher said: “While a significant disappointment, the adverse determination

based on out-dated evidence on Genetic Testing for Oncology: Specific Tests (L39365) LCD

should not overshadow the major strategic progress we’ve made over the past year.

“Cxbladder Triage was included in the American Urological Association’s new microhematuria

guideline with a ‘Grade A’ evidence rating

4

– the only biomarker to receive that level of

endorsement.

“Meanwhile, with the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announcing a draft

price of US$1,018.44 for Cxbladder Triage Plus – a significant premium over the current

US$760 price for our existing tests – Pacific Edge is positioned for a rapid acceleration of

revenue growth in the US once Medicare coverage is achieved

5

.

Chief Executive Dr Peter Meintjes added: “The AUA guideline cements Pacific Edge’s position

as the market leader in non-invasive bladder cancer diagnostics, reinforcing our first-mover

advantage. In combination with evidence not considered during the finalization of L39365, the

guideline puts Pacific Edge in a strong position to regain Medicare coverage for Cxbladder

Triage. We also believe we can make a strong case for Medicare coverage of Cxbladder

Monitor, and longer-term Triage Plus and Monitor Plus tests.

“Supported by our peer-reviewed clinical evidence – and the capital we are seeking – we are

confident we can continue to advance the commercialization of our tests in the US. And, as we

advance the development of in vitro diagnostic (IVD) kitted versions of Cxbladder, we are also

confident we can deliver the same performance and value in other markets with kits run in

partner labs.”

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Operating revenue of $21.8 million was down 8.6% from $23.9 million in FY24, but steady

against 1H 25 reflecting the ongoing Medicare uncertainty and the reduced reach of the sales

team following the restructuring at the start of 2H 24.

FY 25 TLT of 28,894 tests was down 11.5% on the 32,633 tests in FY 24, but 2H 25 volume

steady against 1H 25. Commercial test volumes was down 9.9% on FY 24 to 24,642 tests, but

steady against 1H 25. However, since the LCD became effective, we have seen its impact in

reduced volumes.


4

The AUA defines ‘Grade A’ evidence as evidence with a high certainty rating and notes evidence of this grade

makes it "very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect"

5

Although Pacific Edge is confident that it will regain coverage for Triage as a result of recent AUA guideline

inclusion and new clinical evidence, there are no guarantees as to the timing or outcome of the re-coverage process.

Regaining Medicare coverage could be delayed or not achieved at all.



3


Tests for Medicare and Medicare Advantage – those affected by L39365 – represented 53%

of commercial tests in FY25 vs 60% in 1H 24. This improvement reflects rising demand from

contracted payers such as the Southern California Permanente Medical Group, rising APAC

volumes and sustained sales force efficiencies.

The Average Sales Price for US testing increased to US$594 in FY 25 vs US$584 in FY 24

as cash collection improvements were sustained. Throughput per Sales FTE improved again

to 405.6 tests in Q4 25 from 381.2 in Q4 24. Tests per unique ordering clinician (our preferred

metric for measuring customer commitment to Cxbladder) was 7.1 in Q4 25 compared to 6.7

in Q4 24 as we focused efforts on profitable accounts and territories.

The net loss after tax of $29.9 million was steady on FY 24 (down 1.4%), reflecting the benefits

of the cash conservation initiatives. Costs were higher in 2H 25 led by the increased investment

in clinical research, the costs associated with the commercialization of Triage Plus and an

increase in legal fees as we challenged the LCD.

Cash and cash equivalents and short-term deposits stood at $22.6 million at the end of March

2025, down from $35.9 million at the end of September 2024. The 2H 25 cash burn of $13.4

million was lower than the $14.3 million in 1H 25, but after considering the higher cash spend

related to payments that cover a 12-month period, the underlying cash burn was steady as

operating cash conservation initiatives continued to deliver.

STRATEGIC PROGRESS

Pacific Edge has taken steps to mitigate the uncertainty linked to L39365 by focusing

commercial operations on profitable territories, non-Medicare revenue streams and selling the

clinical and economic value of Cxbladder. This has delivered tangible improvements in the

performance metrics we track for sales force efficiency and customer stickiness.

With L39365 becoming effective on 24 April 2025 – despite Pacific Edge undertaking vigorous

political advocacy efforts and pursuing potential legal avenues – we have two paths forward.

The first is the definitive path to change the non-coverage determination to a coverage

determination by submitting a reconsideration request to Novitas with the evidence that has

previously not been reviewed.

We submitted a reconsideration request for Cxbladder Triage in March 2025, based on

evidence not considered in the LCD, including the groundbreaking STRATA

6

study and the

AUA microhematuria guideline. We lodged a reconsideration request for Cxbladder Monitor in

May 2025 supported by two new real-world studies out of Australia.

The second is to appeal claim denials through the Medicare Appeals Process providing the

AUA guideline as evidence to an Administrative Law Judge to reverse the claim denial. Our

success is not guaranteed, but guideline inclusion has typically been viewed as more than

sufficient to meet the standard of medically reasonable and necessary.

The AUA microhematuria guideline provides Pacific Edge with a number of options to build

momentum despite the non-coverage determination on L39365. We expect to continue to

receive reimbursement from contracted commercial US payers without interruption, notably

Kaiser Permanente, the US Veterans Administration, Blue Cross Blue Shield plans under a

group purchasing agreement and from non-contracted private payers.

Similarly, we expect to improve collections from non-contracted private payers through two

initiatives. The first is to appeal denied claims to “external review”, using the AUA

microhematuria guideline as evidence to reverse the initial claim denial. The second is to

establish ‘client billing’ relationships with hospitals and large urology group practices that are

committed to Cxbladder Triage and agree to seek reimbursement from the commercial payers

rather than Pacific Edge. For commercial claims that ultimately result in a denial, we intend to

continue our enhanced patient responsibility and patient assistance programs to drive some

payment from patients for our test.

Beyond the challenges of the new operating environment and these new initiatives, our clinical

evidence program will continue to generate published evidence for further reconsideration

requests or to embed them in guidelines. Importantly, our DRIVE Study and STRATA

Concordance Study

7

are on track for publication later this year. The publication from the DRIVE

study is expected to be sufficient to establish coverage of Triage Plus and the STRATA

Concordance Study will confirm the clinical utility of Triage Plus in the microhematuria patient

population.

Recognising that no new evidence has been published that can be submitted for

reconsideration of Cxbladder Detect, we have decided to discontinue the test in the US. Users

are being migrated to Triage, accelerating a plan previously intended to coincide with the

commercial launch of Triage Plus.

In New Zealand – our largest market outside of the US – we are seeking to further entrench

Cxbladder with a national pathway for hematuria evaluation. The moves to extend our global

reach and diversify our revenue with distribution agreements in Israel, Latin America and

Southeast Asia continue to offer promise, delivering still small but steadily growing test volumes

from these markets. We are targeting the development of a kit-based IVD to accelerate

momentum in these markets and other markets globally.

Finally, we have continued to invest in the digitalization initiatives that will further drive the

adoption of our tests and improve the experience for clinicians and patients. We are seeing

evidence that these initiatives are embedding Cxbladder in clinical practice, with tests ordered

and resulted through our digital integrations being less impacted by the adverse LCD.

The concordance study seeks to demonstrate the clinical utility of the test by comparison of Triage Plus to Triage.



5


OUTLOOK

In the short-term Pacific Edge expects to see a reduction in US test volumes reflecting the

impact of L39365. However, in the medium to long-term we see a resumption of growth as we

increasingly change physician behavior off the back of guidelines inclusion.

“The AUA microhematuria guideline, the positive Triage Plus price, and the efficiency and

operational improvements we have driven over the last two years position Pacific Edge to

accelerate the company on the path to profitability after re-establishing Medicare coverage,”

Dr Meintjes said.

“The capital raising we have announced today will assist our commercialization efforts in the

US, our digitalization initiatives that improve the customer experience, our clinical evidence

generation, and our innovation in R&D to bring Cxbladder to more physicians and more

patients globally,” Dr Meintjes said.

“We look forward to updating investors on our progress.”

AUA MICROHEMATURIA GUIDELINE INCLUSION
A COMPANY-DEFINING STRATEGIC MILESTONE ACHIEVED IN FEBRUARY 2025

The 2025 amendment to the AUA microhematuria guideline supports the use of urine-based

biomarkers for intermediate-risk patients as an alternative to a cystoscopy

•Primary driver for the change in the guidelines was clinical utility evidence for Cxbladder Triage from a

randomized controlled trial, i.e. the STRATA Study

1

•Cxbladder Triage specifically mentioned as the only urine-based biomarker test that has ‘Grade A’

2


evidence cementing first-mover advantage and building a moat vs competitors

•The change was significant:

•The 2020 guideline expressly prohibited the use of urine-based biomarkers in lieu of a cystoscopy

•The 2025 guideline brings genomic testing to hematuria evaluation for bladder cancer as already

established for prostate, breast, colon and other cancers

•Intermediate-risk patients represent a large cohort (~70%)

3

of microhematuria patients (up to 3.5 million

patients annual in the US)

•Offers significant benefits to patients, reduces the burden of unnecessary cystoscopies, improves access to

care at a lower cost and reduces legal liability for using biomarker alternatives

AUA guideline inclusion provides significant global clinical validation for Cxbladder which is

expected to pave the way for further wider global adoption by healthcare providers and

payers – we have already noticed increased interest from physicians

“... [for] intermediate-risk

patients who want to avoid cystoscopy and

accept the risk of forgoing direct visual

inspection of the bladder urothelium, clinicians

may offer urine cytology or validated urine-based

tumor markers to facilitate the decision

regarding utility of cystoscopy.”

3.Pacific Edge estimate based on the new risk categories created with the 2025 microhematuria guidelines

MEDICARE COVERAGE COMMENCED IN 2020 BUT CEASED IN 2025
•Medicare reimbursed Cxbladder tests >98% since 2020 at US$760 per test – these tests

have accounted for the majority of US volumes and ~61% of revenue in FY25

•Novitas – the Medicare Administrative Contractor that determines Medicare coverage

for our tests – proposed non-coverage for Cxbladder in July 2022 (2H 23)

•We challenged this determination with more recent evidence and support from the

American Urological Association (AUA), but Novitas finalized its non-coverage

determination in January 2025 without considering the most-current evidence available

•This decision removed coverage for AUA guideline-recommended testing, after

following a process that failed to review the most-current evidence

OUR RESPONSE: DRIVING CXBLADDER DEMAND WITH AUA GUIDELINE INCLUSION

•~47% of US volumes are from other contracted payers (e.g. Kaiser Permanente, the US

Veterans Administration and various Blue Cross Blue Shield plans) and non-contracted

private payers – these volumes are expected to continue to grow without interruption

•Our commercial team will continue to promote and supply tests to existing US users

and drive demand to maintain the momentum building from the guideline

SEEKING RE-COVERAGE VIA LCD RECONSIDERATION AND MEDICARE APPEALS
RECONSIDERATION REQUESTS FOR TRIAGE AND MONITOR; APPEALS TO RELY ON GUIDELINE INCLUSION

RESTORING MEDICARE COVERAGE FOR TRIAGE AND MONITOR

•Cxbladder Triage: A reconsideration request was submitted to Novitas in March 2025 consisting of STRATA

1

and the

AUA Microhematuria guideline and is under review

•Cxbladder Monitor: A reconsideration request was submitted to Novitas in May 2025 consisting of two new real-world

studies from Australia and is under review

•Cxbladder Detect: Detect users are being migrated to Triage, accelerating a plan previously intended to coincide with

the commercial launch of Triage Plus

•Industry experts typically estimate it is likely to take 6-9 months for Novitas to consider a valid submission of a single

product with only a small number of new supporting publications to be reviewed.

•We will attempt to get reimbursed on all Triage tests based on the 2025 AUA microhematuria guideline through the

Medicare appeal process; the guideline supports our claim for reimbursement on the grounds of being “medically

reasonable and necessary” despite a non-coverage determination

ESTABLISHING MEDICARE COVERAGE FOR TRIAGE PLUS

•The analytical validation (AV) and clinical validation (CV) publications for Triage Plus have been submitted for peer

review in appropriate scientific journals seeking publication in FY26 Q1

•Pacific Edge will submit a reconsideration request for Triage Plus when the AV and CV is published

•Inclusion of Triage in the AUA microhematuria guideline provides medical policy for Medicare coverage of Triage Plus,

meaning AV and CV should be sufficient for coverage

•Further evidence for Triage published by Kaiser Permanente as a presentation at AUA and in peer review by FY26 Q3

further confirms Triage and Triage Plus clinical utility and health economics

•Draft Triage Plus pricing at US$1,018 is expected to become effective from January 2026

FOUNDATIONS FOR GROWTH – US CASH COLLECTIONS IMPROVE
•Despite the dip in 2H 25 Average Sales Price (ASP

1

) due to

timing variances related to accruals and increased provisions

against revenue, ASP per test has increased to US$594 in FY 25

from US$584 in FY 24 lifted by:

•Enhanced Patient Responsibility - patients with non-

contracted private insurance (i.e. non-Kaiser) pay a fixed

dollar amount “maximum out of pocket”

•Increased utilization of appropriate patient types from

Kaiser Permanente after EMR integration

•Medicare reimbursement of Triage since Jan 2023

•Improved medical necessity documentation to improve

billing and appeals processes for Medicare Advantage

•Improved cash collections are typically permanent

improvements that we expect to maintain as we scale

AUA GUIDLINE OFFERS NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR CLIENT BILLING

•With AUA guideline inclusion, a new opportunity exists to get paid

per test by hospitals and large urology group practices (LUGPAs) and

let them handle the commercial reimbursement

•This provides a revenue incentive to hospitals/LUGPAs and has the

potential to drive volume, since they are commonly "in-network"

with commercial payers and have sophisticated billing teams

MEDICARE PRICE FOR TRIAGE PLUS ACCELERATES PATH TO PROFITABILITY
DRAFT PRICE FOR TRIAGE PLUS OF US$1,018 PER TEST PUBLISHED APRIL 2025

MEDICARE COVERAGE NEEDED BEFORE FULL-SCALE COMMERCIAL LAUNCH

•The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) draft price of US$1,018

for Triage Plus materially lifts margin per test from the previous pricing at

US$760, expected to become effective in Jan 2026

•Lowers the profitability threshold for number of tests per Account Executive,

facilitating more rapid scaling and a faster path to profitability

•A reconsideration request will be made to Novitas for coverage of Triage Plus

as soon as the analytical validation (AV) and clinical validation (CV) studies

have been published (estimated in June 2025)


ACCELERATING THE PATH TO PROFITABILITY

•Adding digital capabilities and FTE capacity to PEDUSA laboratory

•Simplifying laboratory workflow for improved efficiency

•Optimizing sales team structure for expanded product adoption

•Sales and marketing materials to reflect AUA Guideline messaging

•Enhancing medical education with a speaker bureau, podium presentations,

and evidence development

AUSTRALIA & ASIA PACIFIC

•Southeast Asia is still in business development, and we are extending

our reach into the market through a distributor network which has

seen testing volumes grow

•While our primary near-term focus remains on the US, Southeast

Asia has large population centers, private healthcare systems, and

favorable cultural and demographic considerations to be a high-

OUTLOOK

RECENT CATALYSTS FOR STRONG GROWTH – VOLUME AND PRICING

•AUA microhematuria guideline enables sales, marketing and reimbursement activities. We are

determined to maximize this milestone through existing and new initiatives

•Triage Plus draft pricing at US$1,018 supports stronger unit economics, margins and sales force

efficiency for a faster path to cash flow breakeven if successful in re-establishing Medicare

coverage

GROWTH STRATEGY – TO BE ACCELERATED WITH NEW CAPITAL

•Entrench first-mover advantage and “moat” for Triage given AUA guideline inclusion

•Continue clinical evidence generation in an AV, CV and CU framework for coverage, guidelines and

medical policy for Triage Plus and Monitor Plus

•Increase Triage throughput, throughput/sales headcount and throughput/clinician

•Seek reimbursement through the Medicare Appeals process, relying on the AUA guideline, ahead

of the resolution of multiple reconsideration requests

•Increase the percentage of electronically ordered tests and patients with commercial insurance

•Emphasize the clinical and economic value of Cxbladder as a value-based care solution in our sales

messaging for selling to institution, integrated hospital systems and payers

•“Client Billing” program to allow LUGPAs and hospitals to pay Pacific Edge for a test and bill

commercial insurers themselves for reimbursement

•Invest in innovation and product development for IVD kits to support entry into international

markets in a de-centralized deployment model

FURTHER CATALYSTS

•Cxbladder is under consideration by Te Whatu Ora for a National Pathway in New Zealand

STRUCTURED CLINICAL EVIDENCE DEVELOPMENT

•Pacific Edge’s clinical study program is focused on developing clinical evidence for Cxbladder tests in a structured framework

•Analytical Validity (AV): Evidence that a test is repeatable in the lab for a given indication and population

•Clinical Validity (CV): Evidence a test works in the same way on an independent eligible population for a given indication

•Clinical Utility (CU): Evidence that a test changes clinical practice in the hands of a physician, typically in prospectively recruited RCTs

•Real World Evidence (RWE): CU verification of the real-world use of the test in clinical practice, usually through regular use of the test by physicians

•Clinical Utility evidence obtained through randomized control trials is required to change standard of care guidelines (in addition to AV and CV evidence)

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the twelve months ended 31 March 2025

1. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION

Reporting Entity

The consolidated financial statements (hereafter referred to as the ‘financial statements’) presented for the year

ended 31 March 2025 are for Pacific Edge Limited (the ‘Company’) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as

the ‘Group’). The Group’s purpose is to research, develop and commercialise new diagnostic and prognostic tools

for the early detection and management of cancers.

Pacific Edge Limited is registered in New Zealand under the Companies Act 1993 and is a Financial Markets

Conduct (FMC) reporting entity under Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The financial statements

of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013

and the NZX Listing Rules. The financial statements presented are those of the Group, consisting of the Parent

entity, Pacific Edge Limited and its subsidiaries. The Company is dual listed, with its primary listing of ordinary

shares quoted in New Zealand on the NZX Main Board, and a secondary listing in Australia as a Foreign Exempt

Entity on the ASX.

These financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on the 29th May 2025.

Basis of Preparation

These financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting

Practice in New Zealand (NZ GAAP). The Group is a Tier 1 for-profit entity for the purposes of complying with

NZ GAAP. The financial statements comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting

Standards (NZ IFRS), other New Zealand accounting standards and authoritative notices that are applicable to

entities that apply NZ IFRS. The financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards

Accounting Standards (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) as issued by the IASB.

The financial statements are presented in New Zealand Dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency and

Group’s presentation currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000). The accounting

principles recognised as appropriate for the measurement and reporting of earnings, cash flows and financial

position on a historical cost basis have been used.

The Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows have been

prepared so that all components are stated net of GST. All items in the Consolidated Balance Sheet are stated net

of GST, with the exception of receivables and payables

Management of Capital

The capital structure of the Group consists of equity raised by the issue of ordinary shares in the Company. The

Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going

concern in order to provide returns for shareholders, provide benefit for other stakeholders and to maintain an

optimal capital structure to support the development of its business. The Company meets these objectives through

closely managing revenue and expenditure, and where required issues new shares.

Going Concern

The 2025 financial statements have been prepared on a 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 date of signing the

Financial Statements.

As at 31 March 2025, the Company has $22.568m of cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits (2024:

$50.261m) and net assets of $26.085m (2024: $54.622m). The Company made a net loss after tax of $29.936m

(2024: loss of $29.535m). Net cash out flows from operating activities for the 12 month period to 31 March 2025

were $24.740m (2024: cash outflow $25.750m).

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

debts as they fall due.

As noted in Note 25 - Subsequent Events, the Company has lost Medicare coverage for Cxbladder tests in the

US from 24 April 2025. These tests generated approximately 56% of Operating Revenue in the year ended 31

March 2025. The Company is seeking to regain coverage through the submission of reconsideration requests for

Cxbladder Triage (made 21 March 2025), and Cxbladder Monitor (submission for reconsideration made May 2025).

Industry experts typically estimate a coverage decision 6-9 months after a submission of a single product with only

a small number of new supporting publications.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2025

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the twelve months ended 31 March 2025

While the loss of Medicare coverage is expected to have a significant impact on testing volume, the Company

expects to continue to bill and receive reimbursement from contracted commercial US payers without interruption,

notably from Kaiser Permanente, the US Veterans Administration, various Blue Cross Blue Shield plans under the

group purchasing agreement and from non-contracted private payers in line with historic reimbursement rates.

The Company will also increase appeals activity, leveraging the February 2025 inclusion of Cxbladder Triage in the

American Urological Association Microhematuria Guideline. Additionally, the Company expects collections from

it’s enhanced patient responsibility and patient assistance programs to continue in line with the rates since the

introduction of that program in July 2023.

Offsetting the negative coverage outcome for Medicare, the inclusion of Cxbladder Triage in the February 2025

American Urological Association Microhematuria Guideline (the only biomarker test included with A Grade

evidence) is expected to drive demand from clinicians in the US and if coverage is resumed, provide increased

volumes and revenue in the United States. Cxbladder Triage Plus, the replacement product for Triage, has also

received draft Gapfill pricing of US$1,018.44 per test. The price for Cxbladder Triage Plus is expected to be made

effective on 1 January 2026, and if covered by Medicare, will be a meaningful increase (when compared to the

US$760 Medicare approved price of our existing tests) because it would increase both the gross margin and gross

margin percentage per test and improves the profitability of operating our front-line sales force.

The Company has prepared cash flow forecasts which indicate that with the Medicare non-coverage decision, the

Company may not have sufficient cash to meet its minimum expenditure commitments and support its current

levels of activity.

To address the future additional funding requirements of the Group, there are a number of options available to the

Directors, including:

•raising additional capital. On 29 May 2025, the Board approved a capital raise which is being progressed with

the intention of raising at least $20m via a Placement and Share Purchase Plan. Completion of the Placement

will be dependent on shareholder approval, with anticipated settlement date no later than 31 August 2025; and

•continuing to monitor the Company’s ongoing working capital requirements and minimum expenditure

commitments, including identifying cost management options to maintain a level of expenditure that is in line

with the Company’s available cash resources.

While the Company is confident about revenue opportunities in the US market and obtaining additional funds via

an equity raise, the Directors acknowledge that there are a number of material uncertainties set out above related

to unknown future events that are not fully in their control. These material uncertainties are related to events and

conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore it

may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be required if the Group was unable to continue

as a going concern.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2025

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the twelve months ended 31 March 2025

The financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of all subsidiaries of Pacific Edge Limited as at

31 March 2025 and for the year then ended. All subsidiaries have the same balance date as the Company of 31 March.

Pacific Edge Limited consolidates all entities over which Pacific Edge Limited has control. Control is achieved when

the Group:

•has power to direct the activities of the entity;

•is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from involvement with the entity; and

•has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

Subsidiaries which form part of the Group are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the

Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. The consideration

transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the

equity interest issued by the Group.

The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration

arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and

contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition

date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either

at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets. Inter-company

transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised

losses are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure

consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

In preparing these financial statements, the Group made estimates and assumptions concerning the future.

These estimates and assumptions may differ from the subsequent actual results. Estimates and assumptions are

continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors including expectations or future

events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Group has performed an assessment of potential climate related risks and considered the location of

laboratories and other key operations in each region that it operates in and concluded that there is no material

impact on the current financial statements.

All other material accounting policy information has been applied on a basis consistent with those used in the

audited financial statements of Pacific Edge Limited for the year ended 31 March 2025.

2.NEW STANDARDS

NEW DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS AND CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP

Disclosure of Fees for Audit Firms’ Services (Amendments to FRS-44)

The amendments to FRS-44 aim to address concerns about the quality and consistency of disclosures an entity

provides about fees paid to its audit firm for different type of services. 

Application of this amendment is required for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024. The Group

has adopted these amendments to FRS-44 in the 2025 financial statements.

The IFRIC have released an agenda decision on Segment Reporting providing details on how an entity applies the

requirements in paragraph 23 of IFRS Operating Segments. The agenda decision does not have a material impact

in the 2025 financial statements.

There are no other NZ IFRS or NZ IFRIC interpretations that are effective that would be expected to have a

material impact on the Group.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2025

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the twelve months ended 31 March 2025

NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTED BY THE GROUP

The following new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for

31 March 2025 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. 

NZ IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18)

NZ IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (IFRS 18) was issued in May 2024 as replacement

for IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (IAS 1). Most of the presentation and disclosure requirements would

largely remain unchanged together with other disclosures carried forward from IAS 1 IFRS 18 primarily introduces

the following:

•a defined structure for the consolidated statement of comprehensive income by classifying items into one

of the five categories: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations. Entities will

also present expenses in the operating category by nature, function, or a mix of both, based on facts and

circumstances;

•disclosure of management-defined performance measures non-GAAP measures in a single note together with

reconciliation requirements, and

•additional guidance on aggregation and disaggregation principles (applied to all primary financial statements

and notes).

IFRS 18 also made limited change to certain presentation and disclosure requirements in the financial statements;

as well as consequential changes to various IFRS Accounting Standards.

IFRS 18 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 and entities could

early adopt this accounting standard. The Group expects to adopt IFRS 18 and relevant consequential changes of

other accounting standards in the 2028 financial statements. The Group is currently assessing the impact and will

disclose more detailed assessments in the future.

3.EARNINGS PER SHARE

(a)Basic

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit (or loss) attributable to equity holders of the Company

by the weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue during the year excluding ordinary shares purchased

by the Company (Note 18).

(b)Diluted

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding to

assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Group’s dilutive potential ordinary shares are in the

form of share options. As the Group made a loss during the current year and losses cannot be diluted, basic and

diluted earnings per share are the same.

4.LABORATORY THROUGHPUT AND COMMERCIAL TESTS –

NON-GAAP REPORTING

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. The inclusion

of this non-GAAP reporting is considered helpful to readers of these financial statements, as it allows readers

to compare the current period to prior periods and assess usage trends on a consistent basis. Total laboratory

throughput includes commercial tests, which are invoiced to customers (including tests for patients covered by

the US government’s medical program through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)), and

tests which are not considered to be commercial as these tests relate to Research Tests 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. The inclusion of this non-GAAP reporting is considered helpful to readers of these financial

statements as it allows readers to compare the current period to prior periods and assess trends on a consistent

basis.

5.REVENUE

Background information on US customers and the payment process

A physician orders a Cxbladder test when a patient presents to their clinic with symptoms that indicate the

possibility of bladder cancer. The most common and significant symptom is haematuria or blood in their urine.

A urine sample is collected from the patient and sent in the Cxbladder Urine Sampling System to the Group’s

laboratory in the US or in New Zealand. The Group receives and processes the urine sample and returns the results

of the test back to the ordering physician. The individual patient is the Group’s customer, however typically in the

US market, the patient’s insurer may pay the Group for some or all of the cost of the test.

When a physician orders a Cxbladder test, the Group has an obligation to perform the test and report the results to

the ordering physician irrespective of the patient’s insurance contract. A patient may have private insurance cover,

be covered by the US government’s medical program through CMS, self cover or have no insurance cover.

Once the Cxbladder test has been completed, all information required for insurance purposes is sent to the Group’s

billing and reimbursement agent to begin the process to collect reimbursement from any applicable insurance

companies for the Cxbladder test performed.

For patients with private insurance cover, the relevant patient and test order information will be sent to their

insurance provider. When the Group does not have an individual agreement with that insurance provider to pay

for Cxbladder tests (“out of network”), the insurance provider will assess that individual patient’s test for medical

necessity and the level of insurance cover (if any) available to cover the cost of the test. This process of assessment

can take many months to work through before the Group receives payments (if any) from the insurance company.

The Group does have agreements with some insurance providers but these currently cover a small proportion of

the Group’s customers.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2025

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the twelve months ended 31 March 2025

For patients covered by CMS, invoices are sent to CMS. Prior to 3 July 2020, Pacific Edge was not included in the

Local Coverage Determination (LCD) and as a result, did not normally receive any amounts for tests performed

for patients covered by CMS. On 3 July 2020, Pacific Edge received notice of inclusion in the LCD, resulting in

the Company receiving reimbursement for Cxbladder Monitor and Detect tests performed after 1 July 2020 for

patients covered by the CMS across the US that are deemed medically necessary.

For uninsured patients, the Group has no certainty of when or if the patient will pay.

Refer to note 25 - Subsequent Events for details on the Local Coverage Determination change that has the

potential to negatively impact future revenue.

Rest of World Customers

Revenue from Rest of World customers is primarily from Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand. In all Rest Of World

locations, there is a clearly defined contract with the customer meeting the requirements of NZ IFRS 15. Pacific

Edge Diagnostics New Zealand Limited has individual contracts with regions across New Zealand and revenue is

recognised as described on the following pages.

Critical Accounting Estimate

The application of NZ IFRS 15: Revenue from contracts with customers (NZ IFRS 15) requires the application of

significant judgement in determining whether the Group meets the five key criteria identified in NZ IFRS 15, which

allows revenue to be recognised as performance obligations are satisfied. For the Group this would result in some

revenue recognised in advance of the receipt of cash.

The significant judgements adopted by the Group relate to :

- determining if a contract with the customer exists;

- identifying the rights of each party;

- identifying the payment terms;

- ensuring the contract has commercial substance; and

- determining whether it is probable that the Group will collect the consideration to which it is entitled.

While there has been significant judgement applied to all five criteria, there are two criteria that have higher levels

of uncertainty, requiring increased levels of judgement. The significant judgements applied to determine the

Transaction Price and determining the probability of collecting consideration are detailed in the Accounting Policy

relating to Revenue from Cxbladder Tests.

ACCOUNTING POLICY

Revenue from Cxbladder tests – USA

The Group performs Cxbladder tests when requested by a patient’s physician. At the point the test results are

returned to the physician, the Group has satisfied its performance obligation and has the right to issue an invoice.

Revenue can be recognised at this point in time. On return of the test result, the Group has determined a contract

exists, that the payment terms are identified, that the contract has commercial substance and there has been

identification of the rights of each party.

On the 3 July 2020, Pacific Edge received notice of inclusion in the LCD, resulting in the Company receiving

reimbursement for 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, less a 2% sequestration fee.

Since Cxbladder’s inclusion in the LCD, based on historical data, the Group has been able to reliably estimate

both the probability and size of payment received from the CMS. The inclusion within the LCD combined with the

growing support for the use of Cxbladder within the US has also allowed the Group to reliably estimate both the

probability and size of payment received from customers covered by Medicare Advantage policies provided by

private insurers and customers covered by Kaiser Permanente.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2025
13

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the twelve months ended 31 March 2025

Tests performed for patients covered by other private policies, or tests performed for those with no insurance

cover continue to be recognised as revenue when cash is collected and the Group has satisfied its performance

obligations and that the contract is considered terminated and the amount received is non-refundable. Revenue

is recognised on a cash basis is due to not being able to reliably estimate both probability and size of payment

received. Management continually re-assess its probability to collect payments to be able to account for the

transaction under NZ IFRS 15.

The Group have concluded that the contracts with the CMS and customers covered by Medicare Advantage and

Kaiser Permanente include variable consideration because the amounts paid by Medicare, Kaiser Permanente or

the commercial health insurance carriers that provide Medicare Advantage may be paid at less than our standard

rates or not paid at all, with such differences considered implicit price concessions. Variable consideration

attributable to these price concessions is measured at the expected value, and are determined by historical average

collection rates by test type and payor category taking into consideration the range of possible outcomes and

predictive value of our past experiences. Such variable consideration is included in the transaction price only to the

extent it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur.

As a result of the Significant Judgements applied, the Group have determined the criteria under NZ IFRS 15 which

allows revenue to be recognised in advance of the receipt of cash have been met, and the Group has recognised

revenue for tests which were performed from 1 October 2024 to 31 March 2025 (6 months prior to balance date)

for which payment has not been received by 31 March 2025 from CMS and Medicare Advantage. Following a

change in commercial agreement, revenue for Kaiser Permanente is recognised in the month the test is performed.

Rest of World revenue recognition from tests performed

There has been no change in accounting policy or estimates for Operating Revenue for the Rest of World. The

Group performs Cxbladder tests when requested by a patient’s physician in New Zealand, Australia and Southeast

Asia. At the point the test results are returned to the physician, the Group has satisfied its performance obligation.

At the end of the month an invoice is issued to the customer based on the number of tests performed. Revenue is

recognised when the invoice is issued.

OTHER INCOME

Grant Income

Government Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the

conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received. Government Grants are recognised in Other

Income in the consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, on a systematic basis over the periods in which

the Group recognises the related costs as expenses for which the grants are intended to compensate.

The Company receives grants from Callaghan Innovation for postgraduate internships and summer students.

All conditions of the grants have been complied with.

Research Rebates and Tax Incentives

- New Zealand R&D Tax Incentive (RDTI)

The New Zealand RDTI is a 15% tax credit on the money invested in eligible research and development (R&D) that

has occurred in New Zealand. As the New Zealand companies are in a tax loss position, the Group is eligible for the

Tax Incentive to be refunded.

The RDTI is recognised at its fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the credit will be received and

the Group will comply with all attached conditions.

All conditions of the New Zealand RDTI have been complied with. Payment will be received after submission of

each annual research and development tax claim.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2025

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the twelve months ended 31 March 2025

- Australia Cxbladder Research Rebate

A Cxbladder research programme is administered by Pacific Edge (Australia) Pty Limited and tax rebates are

received as a result of this programme.

The Cxbladder research rebate is recognised at its fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the rebate

will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.

For the year ended 31 March 2025, Group revenue is over $20m Australian Dollars, resulting in research rebates

being issued as a tax credit. The Tax Credit is not recognised as a tax asset in the financial statements for the year

ended 31 March 2025.

6.RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS

ACCOUNTING POLICY

Research is the original and planned investigation undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific

knowledge and understanding. This includes: direct and overhead expenses for diagnostic and prognostic

biomarker discovery and research; pre-clinical trials; and costs associated with clinical trial activities. All research

costs are expensed when incurred.

Development is the application of research findings to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially

improved processes or products prior to the commencement of commercial production.

When a project reaches the stage where it is probable that future expenditure can be recovered through the

process or products produced, expenditure that is directly attributed or reasonably allocated to that project is

recognised as a development asset within intangible assets. If the expenditure also benefits processes or products

for which it cannot be recovered, it will be expensed. The asset will be amortised from the date of commencement

of commercial production of the product to which it relates on a straight-line basis over the period of expected

benefit. Development assets are reviewed annually for any impairment in their carrying value.

Employee Share Scheme

The Company has an Employee Share Scheme where ordinary shares in the Company may be issued to selected

employees to recognise performance or a significant contribution to the Company. These shares may be issued

in lieu of a cash bonus or in addition to the employee’s remuneration. The ordinary shares are issued directly to

the employee and the Company accounts for the cost of the shares. The shares are allocated to the employee on

the date that the Board approves the issue of the share capital. All employees who hold ordinary shares in the

Company must comply with the Company’s Share Trading Policy.

The issuance of ordinary shares to employees is treated as equity settled share-based payments. Equity-settled

share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date

based on the market price at the time of issuance. The fair value of shares granted is recognised as an employee

expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income when the shares are issued. During the 2025

financial year, 644,630 (2024: 906,000) ordinary shares were issued to employees as part of the Employee Share

Scheme. The associated non-cash cost of these shares was $58,000 (2024: $83,000). Refer to Note 18 for further

details on the shares issued during the financial year.

Attract and Retain Options

The Board believes that the issue of share options provides an appropriate incentive for participating employees to

grow the total shareholder return of the Company.

Attract and retain options are issued to selected employees as a long-term component of remuneration in

accordance with the Group’s remuneration policy. Incentive Options entitle the holder, on payment of the exercise

price, to one ordinary share of the Company.

The exercise price of the granted options is determined using the fair value of the Company’s share price at the

time of the options being granted.

Incentive Options issued prior to 31 March 2022 generally vest over three years and contain the requirement to

remain as an employee of the Company in order for the options to vest. Tranches of options are exercisable over

four to ten years from the relevant vesting date. No options can be exercised later than the tenth anniversary of the

final vesting date.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2025
17

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the twelve months ended 31 March 2025

Options issued after 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2024 generally vest equally in three tranches over a four year period,

with 1/3 on the second, third and fourth anniversary of the issue. The Options are exercisable up to four years after

vesting date. Option holders are required to remain as an employee of the Company in order for options to vest.

No options can be exercised later than the fourth anniversary of the final vesting date. The exercise price increases

annually for each vested tranche at the equity cost of capital.

Options issued after 1 April 2024 generally vest equally in in three tranches over a three year period, with 1/3 on

the first, second and third anniversary of the issue. The Options are exercisable up to four years after vesting date.

Option holders are required to remain as an employee of the Company in order for options to vest. No options can

be exercised later than the fourth anniversary of the final vesting date. The exercise price increases annually for

each vested tranche at the equity cost of capital.

ACCOUNTING POLICY

All options are accounted for as equity settled share based payments as the Group has no legal or constructive

obligation to repurchase or settle in cash. The fair value of all options granted is recognised as an expense in the

Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income over their vesting period, with a corresponding increase in

the employee share option reserve. The options expense for the year ended 31 March 2025 was $1,316,819 (2024:

$1,189,000).

The fair value is determined at the grant date of the options and expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting

period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase

in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revisits its estimate of the number of equity instruments

expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in the Consolidated

Statement of Comprehensive Income such that the cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a

corresponding adjustment to the share based payments reserve.

During the financial year ended 31 March 2025, there were no share options exercised (2024: Nil). There was no

resulting increase in share capital (2024: $Nil).

Movements in the number of options outstanding and their related weighted average exercise prices are as follows:

The Group used the Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of the equity instruments granted.

The Black-Scholes valuation model has been determined as the most appropriate method as it estimates the

theoretical value of options taking into account the impact of time and other risk factors. The significant inputs into

the Black-Scholes valuation model were the market share price at grant date, the exercise price shown below, the

expected annualised volatility of 50-106%, a dividend yield of 0%, an expected option life of between one and ten

years and an annual risk-free interest rate of between 0.65% and 5.63%.

The volatility measured is the standard deviation of continuously compounded share returns and is based on a

statistical analysis of daily share prices in the past one to ten years.

ACCOUNTING POLICY

Property, Plant and Equipment are those assets held by the Group for the purpose of carrying on its business activities

on an ongoing basis. All Property, Plant and Equipment is stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation

given to acquire the assets, and the value of other directly attributable costs that have been incurred in bringing the

assets to the location and condition necessary for their intended service. This includes the laboratory equipment for

the establishment of the laboratories.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the net proceeds with the carrying amount and are

recognised within the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income when they occur.

Depreciation

Depreciation of plant and equipment is based on writing off the assets over their useful lives, using the straight line

(SL) and diminishing value (DV) basis.

Main rates used are:

Plant and Laboratory Equipment 5% to 40% DV

Computer Equipment 5% to 67% DV

Leasehold Improvements 6% to 10% SL

Furniture and Fittings 5% to 25% DV

The assets’ useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

14.INTANGIBLE ASSETS

ACCOUNTING POLICY

Intellectual Property

The costs of acquired Intellectual Property are recognised at cost. All Intellectual Property has a finite life.

The carrying value of Intellectual Property is reviewed for impairment, where indicators of impairment exist.

Amortisation is charged on a diminishing value basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible assets (1-20

years). The estimated useful life and amortisation method is reviewed at the end of each reporting period.

The following costs associated with Intellectual Property are expensed as incurred during the research phases of

a project and are only capitalised when incurred as part of the development phase of a process or product within

development assets: Internal Intellectual Property costs including the costs of patents and patent application.

Software Development Costs

Costs associated with the development of software are held at cost. Amortisation is charged on a diminishing value

basis over the estimated useful life of the intangible assets (2-10 years). The estimated useful life and amortisation

method is reviewed at the end of each reporting period.

15.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 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 their 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 year

ended 31 March 2025, is shown below.

16.INCOME TAX

ACCOUNTING POLICY

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated

Statement of Comprehensive Income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other

comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income

or directly in equity, respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the

balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income.

Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable

tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts

expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the

tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements in accordance with NZ

IAS 12. Deferred income tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be

available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by

the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the

deferred income tax liability is settled.

The Company and Group has incurred an operating loss for the 2025 financial year and no income tax is payable.

and financial position of the Group entity are expressed in New Zealand dollars (‘NZ$’), which is the functional

currency of the Parent and the presentation currency for the Group financial statements.

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s

functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the

transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated

at the rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Non monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are

translated at the rates prevailing on the date the transaction occurs.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the twelve months ended 31 March 2025

Exchange differences are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in

which they arise.

Foreign Operations

For the purpose of presenting the Group financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign

operations are expressed in New Zealand dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting

period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange

rates fluctuated significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions

are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated as

a separate component of equity in the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve. Such exchange differences

are reclassified from equity to profit or loss (as a reclassification adjustment) in the period in which the foreign

operation is disposed of.

Foreign Currency Translation Reserve

Exchange differences relating to the translation from the functional currencies of the Group’s foreign subsidiaries into

New Zealand dollars are brought to account by entries made directly to the Foreign Currency Translation Reserve.

21.FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

ACCOUNTING POLICY

Foreign Currency Transactions

Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short term deposits, receivables, security deposits, finance

lease liabilities and trade creditors. The particular recognition methods adopted are disclosed in the individual

policy statements associated with each item.

Managing Financial Risk

The Group’s activities expose it to the financial risks of changes in interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and

foreign currency risk. Management is of the opinion that the Company and the Group’s exposure to market risk

during the period and at balance date is defined as:

Risk FactorDescription

(i)Currency RiskFinancial assets and financial liabilities are denominated in NZD, USD, AUD, SGD,

CAD and EUR currencies

(ii)Interest Rate RiskExposure to changes in Bank interest rates resulting in cash flow interest rate risk

(iii)Credit RiskRisk of financial loss if counterparty fails to meet contractual obligations

(iv)Liquidity RiskRisk the Group may not be able to meet its commitments as they fall due

(v)Other Price RiskNot applicable as no securities are bought, sold or traded

(i) Foreign Currency Risk

The Group faces the risk of movements in foreign currency exchange rates in relation to the New Zealand dollar.

The Group has significant operations in United States Dollars and less significant operations in Australian dollars,

Euros and Singapore dollars. As a result of this, the financial performance and financial position are impacted by

movements in exchange rates.

The Group manages foreign currency risk by purchasing overseas goods only when necessary and in line with the

approved treasury policy. It will also purchase foreign currency to fund overseas operations based on cash flow

forecasts in line with the approved treasury policy. There are no formal foreign currency hedges entered into.

A 10% increase or decrease in the foreign currency against the NZD will reduce/increase the loss reported by

approximately $180,000 (2024: $260,000) and increase/reduce equity by the same amount.

(ii) Interest Rate Risk

The Group’s interest rate risk arises from its cash and equivalents, and short term deposits. Cash and equivalents

comprise cash on hand and deposits at call with banks. Short term deposits comprise of term deposits placed with

New Zealand banks on fixed rates for different periods of time.

Management regularly review its banking arrangements to ensure it achieves the best returns on its funds while

maintaining access to necessary liquidity levels to service the Group’s day-to-day activities. The mixture of bank

deposits at floating interest rates and short term deposits at different rates over various periods of time mitigate

the risk of interest rates being received at less than market rates. The Group does not enter into interest rate

hedges.

A 1% increase or decrease in bank deposit interest rates will reduce/increase the loss reported by approximately

$214,000 and increase/reduce equity by the same amount (2024: $491,000).

(iii) Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to

meet its contractual obligations.

The Group incurs credit risk from:

a)Cash and short term deposits;

b)Receivables in the normal course of its business; and

c)Other assets.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2025
32

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the twelve months ended 31 March 2025

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk other than bank deposits, with the exposure as at

31 March 2025 expressed as a percentage of total assets: 14.0% at ANZ, 12.5% at BNZ, 16.7% at Westpac, 14.8% at

Kiwibank and 2.8% at Wells Fargo. The Group’s cash and short term deposits are placed with high credit quality

financial institutions including major banks who have at least a A+ credit rating and concentrations are managed

within the approved treasury policy.

Regular monitoring of receivables is undertaken to ensure that the credit exposure remains within the Group’s

normal terms of trade. These receivables balances mainly relate to Kaiser Permanente, New Zealand customers,

and the New Zealand Government. Refer to note 10 for further details on expected credit losses for receivables.

The Group continues to invoice for every billable test completed in the US, and the billing and reimbursement

process continues to maximise the cash that is received by the Group. The Group has included an accrual for tests

performed from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025 for which payment has not been received by 31 March 2025.

Regular monitoring of other assets is undertaken to ensure that the credit exposure is limited.

The carrying values of financial assets represent the maximum exposure to credit risk as represented below:

27,91455,158

(iv) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may encounter difficulty in raising funds at short notice to meet its

commitments as they fall due. Management maintains sufficient cash balances and uses cash flow forecasts to

determine future cash flow requirements. Liquidity risk is managed within the approved treasury policy. The Group

has one external loan for $300,000 which relates to to the New Zealand Research and Development Tax Incentive

in-year payment loan scheme. The Group also has three finance leases.

Payables and Accruals totaling $7,863,000 are due within 3 months of balance date (2024: $6,753,000).

Fair Values

In the opinion of the Directors, the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair

values at balance date.

23.FINANCE AND OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS

ACCOUNTING POLICY

The Group leases various properties and equipment. Rental contracts vary depending on the type of asset

being leased. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and

conditions. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants, but leased assets may not be used as security for

borrowing purposes.

Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. The Group allocates the consideration in the

contract to the lease and non-lease components based on their relative stand-alone prices.

Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is

available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance

cost is charged to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income over the lease period to produce a

constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is

depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

(i) Measurement basis

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the

net present value of the following lease payments:

•fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;

•variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate;

•amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

•the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

•payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of

the liability.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily

determined, which is generally the case for leases in the group, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used. The

incremental borrowing rate is the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary

to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms,

security and conditions.

To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Group:

•where possible, uses recent third-party financing received by the individual lessee as a starting point, adjusted to

reflect changes in financing conditions since third-party financing was received;

•uses a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for leases held by Pacific

Edge Limited, which does not have recent third-party financing; and

•makes adjustments specific to the lease, e.g. term, country, currency and security.

The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are

not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or

rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the Consolidated

Statement of Comprehensive Income over the lease period to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the

remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

•the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;

•any lease payments made at or before the commencement date;

•any initial direct costs; and

•restoration costs.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2025
35

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the twelve months ended 31 March 2025

Right-of-Use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on

a straight-line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the Right-of-Use asset is

depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life.

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis

as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets

include IT equipment and small items of office furniture.

a)Contingent Liabilities

There were no known contingent liabilities at 31 March 2025 (March 2024: Nil). The Group has not granted any

securities in respect of liabilities payable by any other party whatsoever.

b)Capital Commitments

There are no capital commitments at 31 March 2025 (March 2024: Nil).

25.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Medicare Non-coverage of Cxbladder Tests

On 24 April 2025, Local Coverage Determination (L39365) ‘Genetic Testing in Oncology: Specific Tests’ became

effective in the US, halting Medicare coverage of Cxbladder tests.

Pacific Edge, which currently generates approximately 60% of its US revenue from Medicare and approximately

56% of total Operating Revenue, will now focus on the paths available, which include Medicare appeals for

Cxbladder Triage to get paid based on its inclusion in the AUA microhematuria guideline, despite the non-coverage

determination and reconsideration requests for Triage and Monitor.

Pacific Edge submitted a reconsideration request for Cxbladder Triage under ‘Biomarkers for Oncology’ LCD

(L35396) on 21 March 2025, a request that has already been deemed valid by Novitas, meaning they will now assess

the evidence submitted. During May 2025 Pacific Edge has also submitted a reconsideration request for Cxbladder

Monitor under ‘Genetic Testing in Oncology: Specific Tests’ (L39365) requesting non-coverage to be removed.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2025
37

However, Pacific Edge will not seek re-coverage of Cxbladder Detect as no new evidence has been published that

can be submitted for reconsideration. Detect users will be required to move over to Triage in an acceleration of a

plan intended to coincide with the commercial launch of Triage Plus.

Novitas controls the timeline for these reconsideration requests and is not bound by any maximum period to

complete this work. Industry experts typically estimate the time at 6-9 months for a valid submission of a single

product with only a small number of new supporting publications and not the protracted period of consultation

that results from creating a new LCD as was done with L39365.

Regarding Cxbladder Triage Plus, the Company will continue to develop, publish and subsequently submit a

reconsideration request in line with our previously published roadmap – those activities remain on track. The

Company will also continue to work with Kaiser Permanente on a peer-reviewed publication confirming the real-

world utility of Cxbladder Triage.

While the impact of ‘Genetic Testing for Oncology: Specific Tests’ (L39365) is expected to have a significant impact

on testing volume, Pacific Edge expects to continue to bill and receive reimbursement from contracted commercial

US payers without interruption, notably Kaiser Permanente, the US Veterans Administration, various Blue Cross

Blue Shield plans under the group purchasing agreement and from non-contracted private payers in line with

historic reimbursement rates. Similarly, Pacific Edge expects collections from our enhanced patient responsibility

and patient assistance programs to continue in line with the rates since the introduction of that program in July

2023.

The impact on revenue and revenue recognition is unable to be determined at this stage until the Group can

determine the impact of the non-coverage on the number of tests that the Company receives payment for and the

level of payment received.

Equity Raise

As detailed in the Going Concern section of Note 1 - Material Accounting Policy Information, to assist in the future

additional funding requirements of the Group. On 29 May 2025, the Board approved a capital raise which is being

progressed with the intention of raising at least $20m via a Placement and Share Purchase Plan. Completion of the

Placement will be dependent on shareholder approval, with anticipated settlement date no later than 31 August 2025.

Independent auditor’s report

To the shareholders of Pacific Edge Limited

O

ur opinion

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements (the financial statements) of

Pacific Edge Limited (the Company), including its subsidiaries (the Group), present fairly, in all

material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31 March 2025, its financial performance,

and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to

International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and International Financial Reporting

Standards Accounting Standards (IFRS Accounting Standards).

What we have audited

The Group's financial statements comprise:

•the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2025;

•the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended;

•the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;

•the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and

•the notes to the financial statements, comprising material accounting policy information and other

explanatory information.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs

(NZ)) and International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are

further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our

report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis

for our opinion.

Independence

We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1

International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence

Standards) (New Zealand) (PES 1) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards

Board and the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International

Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA

Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Other than in our capacity as auditor, our firm carried out other assignments in the areas of other

services relating to half year review procedures, assurance on carbon emissions and the provision of

a training workshop. The firm has no other relationship with, or interests in, the Group.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We draw attention to the disclosures in Note 1 to the financial statements, which indicates that the

Company incurred a net loss after tax of $29.936m (2024: loss of $29.535m) and had net cash

outflows from operating activities of $24.740m (2024: cash outflow $25.750m). The Company has

cash, cash equivalents and short term deposits of $22.568m at 31 March 2025. In addition,

subsequent to year end the Company lost Medicare coverage for its Cxbladder tests which represents

approximately 56% of operating revenue. An equity raise intended to raise at least $20m was

approved by the Directors on 29 May 2025, to be completed by 31 August 2025, to provide additional

funding.

As stated in Note 1, if the Company is unable to raise additional funds via the equity raise and control

its costs appropriately it may have insufficient funds to meet its obligations. These events or

conditions, along with other matters set forth in Note 1, indicate the existence of material uncertainties

that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is

not modified in respect of this matter.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in

our audit of the financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context

of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not

provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matter described in the Material

uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be

the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Description of the key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit

matter

Re

venue recognition for US revenue

As disclosed in Note 5 of the consolidated financial

statements, the timing of revenue recognition for

US based revenue varies by revenue stream

between completion of the Cxbladder test and

receipt of cash. As disclosed in Note 5, US revenue

was $20.1m out of total operating revenue of

$21.8m for the year ending 31 March 2025.

The Company has three material United States

(US) revenue streams:

1.Coverage via Centers for Medicare an

d

Med

icaid Services (CMS) and Medicar

e

A

dvantage;

2.Tests performed for Kaiser Permanente; and

3.Other private insurance.

In July 2020, the Company received Local

Coverage Determination ("LCD") and Local

Coverage Article (LCA) for CMS. This

determination created a set price for the Company's

tests of US$760 per test from July 2020, and

established a clear transaction price for the tests.

This transaction price, along with a history of

payment, satisfies the NZ IFRS requirement for

revenue recognition.

In the US derived revenue for tests performed for

CMS, Medicare Advantage, and Kaiser

Permanente have been recognised in advance of

cash being received. Revenue for these customers

is recognised once the test is invoiced.

All other US derived revenue is accounted for on a

cash receipt basis as disclosed in Note 5.

As disclosed in Note 25, subsequent to year end

Medicare ceased coverage of Cxbladder. Whilst

this does not have an impact on operating revenue

recognised in the current financial year, it does

create uncertainties regarding future operating

revenue.

We determined this to be a key audit matter due to

the significance of the judgements applied by

Directors for revenue recognition and the

significance of US revenue to the Company’s

operations.

Our audit procedures included the following:

We obtained an understanding of

management's processes and controls for

the CMS, Medicare Advantage, Kaiser

Permanente, and private insurance US

revenue streams, including the relevant

controls at the external billing

reimbursements service organisation.

We obtained the SOC1 System and

Organisation Controls Report for the external

billing reimbursement service organisation,

and evaluated the evidence provided over

the design and operating effectiveness of the

relevant controls.

We evaluated management's determination

of the timing of revenue recognition by:

●Assessing the data supporting revenu

PwC 40
Our audit approach

Overview

Overall group materiality: $545,000, which represents approximately 1%

of total expenses.

We chose total expenses as the benchmark because, in our view, it is

the benchmark against which the Group is most commonly measured by

users, and is generally accepted benchmark.

As reported above, we have one key audit matter, being:

•Revenue recognition for US revenue

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material

misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we considered where management made

subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved

making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our

audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other

matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material

misstatement due to fraud.

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain

reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the

aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on

the basis of the financial statements.

Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality,

including the overall Group materiality for the financial statements as a whole as set out above. These,

together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit, the nature,

timing and extent of our audit procedures, and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both

individually and in the aggregate, on the financial statements as a whole.

How we tailored our group audit scope

We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an

opinion on the financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the

accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which the Group operates.

Other information

The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the

information included in the Annual Report, but does not include the financial statements and our

auditor’s report thereon. The Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of

this auditor’s report.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express

any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other

information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the

financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially

misstated.

PwC 41
When we read the other information not yet received, if we conclude that there is a material

misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to the Directors and use our

professional judgement to determine the appropriate action to take.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the financial statements

The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the Company, for the preparation and fair presentation of

the financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such

internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial

statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to

continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern, and using the

going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease

operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements, as a

whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s

report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a

guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) and ISAs will always detect a

material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered

material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the

economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the

External Reporting Board’s website at:

CLIMATE REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
Pacific Edge Limited and the subsidiaries listed below (collectively referred to as Pacific Edge) are a climate-

reporting entity under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. This report outlines our climate-related

disclosures for the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025 (FY 25) in compliance with the Aotearoa New

Zealand Climate Standards (NZCS) issued by the External Reporting Board (XRB). Unless noted otherwise,

all numbers and commentary relate to the full FY 25 period.

• Pacific Edge Diagnostics New Zealand Limited

• Pacific Edge (Australia) Pty Limited

• Pacific Edge Diagnostics USA Limited

• Pacific Edge Diagnostics Singapore Pte Limited

• Pacific Edge Analytical Services Limited

In preparing our climate-related disclosures, Pacific Edge has applied some of the adoption provisions

available under the NZCS in the initial years of reporting:

Adoption Provision 4: Scope 3 GHG emissions – provides an exemption from the requirement to

disclose all scope 3 emissions in an entity's first or second reporting period. On the basis that FY 25 is

Pacific Edge's second reporting period, the scope 3 emissions detailed in Table 9 on page 19 have been

excluded from our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Adoption Provision 6: Comparatives for metrics – Pacific Edge has elected to use Adoption Provision 6,

which permits any entity to provide one year of comparative information for each metric in its second

reporting period. Accordingly, Pacific Edge has disclosed comparative data for the preceding period,

being FY 24.

Adoption Provision 7: Analysis of trends – provides an exemption from the requirement to disclose an

analysis of the main trends evident from a comparison of each metric against the preceding comparative

periods. As FY 25 is our second year of reporting, we have provided a one-year trend analysis based on

FY 24 data, and applied the exemption for earlier years where data is not available.

Adoption Provision 8: Scope 3 GHG emissions assurance – in line with this provision, Scope 3 GHG

emissions were excluded from the assurance for FY 25.

We acknowledge the growing importance of understanding climate-related risks and opportunities. Our

analysis is based on current data, which continues to evolve. We will review and update our assessments

annually to reflect the latest information.

This report includes forward-looking statements and climate metrics, which involve a degree of uncertainty.

These are not predictions, forecasts or guarantees of future outcomes or financial performance. The

statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, many of which are

beyond our control, and actual results may differ significantly. We encourage readers to interpret this

information with care, given the limitations of current climate modelling and data.

This report has been approved by the Board on 29 May 2025 and is signed on behalf of the Board by

Chris Gallaher (Chair) and Tony Barclay (Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee).

BOARD OVERSIGHT

Pacific Edge’s Board is ultimately responsible for the Company’s strategy, including how we address

sustainability and build resilience in response to climate-related changes in the business environment. It also

oversees the identification and management of climate-related risks and opportunities, and is accountable

for setting and monitoring progress against our metrics and targets in these areas.

The Board delegates oversight of sustainability and climate-related matters to the Audit and Risk Committee

(ARC). Under its charter the ARC is responsible for ensuring Pacific Edge has a clear and effective

sustainability strategy, supported by the appropriate processes and resources to deliver on it.

The Board also approves the risk management framework and oversees the company’s management of

key risks. The ARC supports this by identifying and reviewing the key risks (including climate-related risks),

assessing their materiality, ensuring the adequacy of risk management processes, and ensuring the Board

receives reliable and timely information. The ARC also considers emerging risks and future events that may

impact the company.

Risks, including climate-related risks, are reviewed by the Board at every scheduled meeting, with a “deep

dive” annual review led by the ARC.

The ARC meets at least four times per year. As part of the meetings it receives updates from the business

and the Sustainability Committee (refer Management Responsibilities section). These updates enable the

ARC to assess progress against strategy, oversee risk management practices and engage the appropriate

external experts when needed to support Pacific Edge with its climate disclosure efforts.

In line with its role, the ARC assists the Board to set, monitor and oversee progress against climate-related

metrics and targets for the management of Pacific Edge’s climate-related risks and opportunities.

Board skills and competencies

To ensure strong governance, Pacific Edge uses a Board skills matrix to assess and maintain the appropriate

competencies and skills required of the Board. Relevant skills for overseeing climate-related risks and

opportunities include legal, regulatory and risk management expertise, governance of listed or other

climate-reporting entities, and environmental and sustainability experience. The current skills matrix is

included in the FY 24 Annual Report (page 47), and an updated version will be included in the FY 25 Annual

Report, expected by 30 June 2025.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CLIMATE REPORT 2025

External advisors and capability building
To continue upskilling the Board and management as well as having access to subject matter experts

when required, Pacific Edge engages Toitū Envirocare to provide a software solution for the collection and

reporting of carbon data and Deloitte for additional analytical support.

Several directors are members of Chapter Zero, a governance group hosted by the Institute of Directors

New Zealand and associated with the Global Climate Governance Initiative.

Chapter Zero membership supports directors in building climate knowledge, integrating climate

considerations into board decision-making, and identifying and addressing the risks and opportunities that

climate change presents to long-term business resilience, while taking into account all stakeholders.

Looking ahead, further training opportunities for Board members are planned for FY 26 through

organisations such as INFINZ and the Institute of Directors, as we continue to strengthen our climate

governance capability.

Policy oversight and incentives

Policies related to climate change are reviewed by the relevant committees and the Board as required. While

climate-related metrics are not currently incorporated in executive remuneration, the People and Culture

Committee ensures that Pacific Edge’s remuneration policies and practices are aligned with the company’s

strategic goals and incorporated into short-term and long-term incentives, where appropriate.

The climate-related metrics and targets outlined in this report have been reviewed and approved by the

Board. Progress against targets is reviewed by ARC and Board at least once a year.

MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES

Accountability for delivering Pacific Edge’s sustainability goals sits with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Oversight of this responsibility is delegated to the Sustainability Committee, chaired by the Chief Financial

Officer (CFO). The committee comprises senior leaders including the Chief Operating Officer (COO) and key

functional representatives from both our New Zealand and United States operations.

The Sustainability Committee is responsible for executing Pacific Edge’s sustainability strategy. This

includes overseeing transition initiatives, management of the ESG programme and ensuring compliance

with reporting requirements. It meets at least four times per year to monitor progress and performance and

meets with the ARC at least annually.

Pacific Edge’s risk management framework supports a consistent approach to identifying, assessing,

managing and monitoring risks and opportunities, including those related to climate. All departmental

leaders are required to report any relevant risks to the CEO, CFO or COO during each board meeting cycle,

with an assessment of those risks incorporated into the risk register provided to the Board.

For FY 25, climate-related risks and opportunities were captured in a standalone detailed climate risk

register. This approach supports our climate reporting obligations while allowing for the longer time

horizons associated with climate-related risks and their potential impacts.

Integrating climate considerations into the broader enterprise risk framework ensures alignment with our

company strategy, capital deployment and funding decisions. Pacific Edge continues to invest capital and

other resources in key strategic projects that are expected to deliver significant economic, social and climate

benefits. In our day-to-day operations, emissions reduction is a key consideration as we drive continuous

improvement initiatives to increase operating efficiency and improve our customer experience.

3. STRATEGY

CURRENT CLIMATE-RELATED IMPACTS

The effects of climate change have not materially impacted Pacific Edge’s operations to date and have

not changed between FY 24 and FY 25. However, this may change over time, with anticipated risks and

opportunities identified in Table 5. The current key climate-related impacts that could be experienced by

Pacific Edge are described in Table 1 on page 5.

Area of ImpactImpact DescriptionQuantified Impact

PHYSICAL

Severe or extreme

weather events

Interrupted laboratory operations in US and New Zealand –

due to extreme weather events such as flooding, wildfires,

tornados or severe storms.

While current risk and impact is low, the frequency of events

is increasing. We are therefore preparing for a period of

time where samples cannot be processed due to loss of

electricity and/or access to the laboratories.

We are working to ensure we have either owned or

contracted access to backup power to ensure preservation

of both patient samples and research samples. If patient

samples are frozen and run at a later time, there would be

minimal revenue loss.

Revenue / Cost Impact

Both low (under $2.0m)

If research samples previously frozen are lost due to loss

of electricity, there could be a sizable impact on future

research. New samples could be obtained, but would incur

a significant cost, and there could be delays releasing new

products and publishing clinical studies to support wider

uptake of Cxbladder products.

Revenue / Cost Impact

Increased costs - including freight and travel. Climate

change has the ability to extend delivery times (as seen in

SCENARIO ANALYSIS UNDERTAKEN

In FY 24 Pacific Edge conducted its first climate scenario analysis to better understand climate-related risks

and opportunities, and to assess the resilience of our business model and strategy. This analysis was based

on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) framework, due to its science-based approach

and comprehensive detail.

The analysis was developed internally by the Sustainability Committee and reviewed by external consultants

Te Whakahaere, before being presented to the Board for discussion. Following this, the scenarios were

refined by the Sustainability Committee with further input from our United States operations, before

receiving final approval.

In FY 25, we reviewed the Climate Change Scenarios for the Health Sector to identify any additional

insights that could further strengthen our analysis. We also considered changes in our business and the

markets we operate in to ensure the scenario analysis remains relevant. The Board has confirmed that the

scenarios developed in FY 24 continue to be appropriate for understanding our climate-related risks and

opportunities, and the resilience of our business model and strategy.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CLIMATE REPORT 2025

5

The scenario analysis draws on three Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) greenhouse gas
trajectories. The ‘Orderly’ (1.5ºC) and ‘Hot-house World’ (>3ºC) scenarios are in line with the requirements

of the NZCS, providing a transition risk-weighted scenario (Orderly) and an extreme physical risk-weighted

scenario (Hot-house). The Disorderly (2ºC) scenario meets the requirement for a third climate-related

scenario, presenting an intermediate pathway where transition and physical risk are both serious challenges.

We believe all three scenarios present a sound range of plausible climate futures, with each scenario

showing different challenges that Pacific Edge would face. Our scenarios are summarised below:

pathways

This very stringent pathway

would see CO

emissions

growth decline to zero by

2100.

This scenario involves the

greatest level of transitional

risk as regulations and

market-driven changes

focused on decarbonisation

significantly impact the

way business is conducted.

This intermediate pathway

sees emissions increasing

at current rates until

2080 then stabilising and

dropping back between

2080-2100.

There would be higher

rates of physical risk, with

transition risks becoming

greater as action is taken to

reduce the rate of increase.

This pathway involves

minimal transition, with

continued emission increases

until 2100, and therefore the

greatest exposure to physical

risks.

There would be significantly

fewer transition risks

with minimal impact on

regulations and business

practices, other than as

required to adapt to physical

risks.

Pacific Edge

potential impacts

We would expect higher

levels of regulation within

our sector to rapidly

transition to reduced

emissions, with one

possible scenario a drive to

eliminate single use plastics

from within the sector.

We would expect increased

exposure to physical risks,

with the laboratories in

New Zealand and the

United States at higher risk

of shut-downs, along with

higher risk of supply chain

disruptions. We would also

expect transition risk, albeit

later and less extreme than

an Orderly Rapid Transition

(scenario 1), with one

possible scenario a drive to

eliminate single use plastics

within the sector.

We would expect the highest

exposure to physical risks,

with the laboratories in New

Zealand and the United

States at higher risk of shut-

downs, along with higher risk

of supply chain disruptions.

Data sourcesRecent releases from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have been used

to determine macro potential shifts in sea levels, wind patterns, temperatures, and extreme

weather events.

These have been localised to the Dunedin Laboratory location through tools available through

NIWA in New Zealand, and for the US laboratory based in Hershey Pennsylvania, tools available

from organisations such as the US Climate Vulnerability Index the National Integrated Heat

Health Information System and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The Climate Change Scenarios for the Health Sector 2024 also provided consensus views from

New Zealand healthcare providers as to potential inputs into the Pacific Edge scenario analysis.

6

We have used these scenarios to test the resilience
of our business model and strategy. Each scenario

explores a different mix of transitional and physical

climate outcomes, capturing the potential impacts

and key uncertainties relevant to both Pacific Edge

and the broader health technology sector.

Our analysis considered the climate-related risks

and opportunities most likely to significantly

impact our business. One important insight is the

inverse relationship between transition risks and

physical risks. Where governments intervene to

reduce emissions, the likely impact from transition

risk is greater. If the interventions are successful,

the resulting lower peak climate warming will

reduce the likelihood of physical risks eventuating. Alternatively, low or ineffective government intervention

will increase the likelihood of impacts from physical risks from higher peak temperatures.

RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Climate-related risks and opportunities are embedded within our broader business and risk management

processes. We use a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) template to assess risk, considering severity,

probability and detectability alongside factors such as geographic location and localisation of impact.

These assessments feed directly into our enterprise risk management framework, influencing Pacific Edge’s

broader company strategy, internal capital deployment and funding decisions. We have assessed both

current and anticipated physical and transition risks and opportunities, considering their likely severity and

time horizon.

Time horizons

As a growth company operating in the healthcare technology sector, Pacific Edge has identified risk

horizons which align with key parts of the product lifecycle. These horizons (Table 3) are also considered in

business modelling, strategic planning, capital deployment and asset management decisions.

Table 3

Time Horizons for Assessing Climate-related Risks and Opportunities

Short-term0-5 yearsAligned to asset deployment focused on existing products.

Medium-term5-10 years

Aligned with the time to get a new/replacement product to market and

validated with studies

Long-term10-20 yearsAligned to transformational changes within healthcare

Quantification of impacts

In some cases, financial impact is difficult to quantify due to challenges in attributing an impact directly to

the risk, and the cause being climate-related. For example, pricing increases for reagents could be due to

several known factors including (but not limited to) economic turmoil, geopolitical instability and inflation,

as well as climate-related impacts.

We have quantified financial impacts using a materiality range, shown in Table 4.

TRANSITION PLANNING

Current Business Model

Pacific Edge operates two CLIA-certified laboratories with associated office facilities – one located in

Dunedin, New Zealand, and the other in Hershey, Pennsylvania, USA. Cxbladder test kits, used to collect

patient samples, are distributed via a third-party logistics provider to clinicians offices, hospitals, or directly

to patients.

Once collected and stabilised, urine samples are couriered to one of the two laboratories for processing.

The Hershey laboratory services the United States and distributors in South America and Israel; and the

Dunedin laboratory services New Zealand, Australia and South East Asia

After testing, the results are returned to the clinicians or, in some regions, directly to patients.

Sales and support are decentralised with people located close to key markets. The United States market is

supported by Account Executives spread across the country, while additional sales and support teams are

based in Australia and Southeast Asia.

Research and development is primarily conducted from Dunedin, with additional clinical support provided

from other locations, including Australia and the United States. Business administration and support

functions are centered in both Dunedin and Hershey, with digital support operations primarily located in

Christchurch, New Zealand.

Pacific Edge’s carbon emissions primarily result from the logistics involved with transporting Cxbladder kits

to and from collection points, as well as from travel undertaken by the sales team to service and support

clinicians. International travel between the United States and New Zealand, along with domestic travel across

target markets, also contributes significantly to Pacific Edge’s carbon emissions.

While the current business model does generate emissions – particularly through the transportation of

samples to centralised laboratories - we anticipate that the overall carbon footprint of the Cxbladder

diagnostic pathway for bladder cancer diagnosis is lower than the existing standard of care, which relies

heavily on cystoscopy and in-clinic procedures.

In FY 25, Pacific Edge collaborated with Te Whatu Ora – Health New Zealand Waitaha Canterbury and Toitū

Envirocare to assess the GHG emissions impact of incorporating Cxbladder into a revised standard of care

for bladder cancer assessment, compared to the existing standard of care. Initial findings show this revised

approach can reduce emissions by up to 30%, highlighting the potential for clinical innovation to help reduce

emissions.

Pacific Edge creates stakeholder value via three pillars of value creation:

1. Adoption, retention and revenue generation (near-term)

2. Evidence coverage and guidelines (medium-term)

3. Research and innovation (long-term)

In pursuing our growth objectives, we have prioritised product innovation and development, the generation

of robust clinical evidence, improvements on production efficiency, strengthened supplier management, and

enhanced business resilience. These initiatives are designed to mitigate risks and capture opportunities, and

will deliver long-term value to stakeholders in line with our pillars.

Transition Plan

We are implementing a number of strategic initiatives aimed at positioning Pacific Edge for a low-emissions,

climate-resilient future. By focusing on greater efficiency in test result delivery and increasing the adoption

and use of Cxbladder tests, we aim to achieve both financial gains and a reduction in carbon intensity per

test. This strategic alignment ensures that capital deployment and funding decisions support our strategic

priorities.

A brief description of these key initiatives and how they will mitigate impacts of climate change, follows.

Figure 2 on page 13 summarises the key elements of our transition plan.

Product simplification

We are actively working to simplify the laboratory processes for running Cxbladder tests. The ultimate goal

is to transition away from a centralised laboratory model towards a decentralised solution, delivering tests

closer to the patient’s location via in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test kits. From a climate perspective, localised

testing - including the potential for at-home sampling – would significantly reduce travel requirements, lower

associated emissions, and reduce physical risks related to reliance on two centralised laboratories. From a

social perspective, this model would also increase patient access to testing and improve the speed of results.

Automation of testing

The first stage of automated testing was implemented in New Zealand in March 2024, and in the United

States in April 2024, with continued enhancements over the past year. This initiative also aligns with the

product simplification workstream. Expected climate benefits include reduced use of single-use plastics and

hazardous chemicals. Social benefits include faster processing times, higher sample throughput (leading to

faster results) and reduced health and safety risk through the minimisation of repetitive human movements.

Supplier engagement

We are building climate resilience by reducing our dependency on single-location suppliers and engaging

new suppliers to manufacture reagents closer to our US laboratory. This initiative is expected to lower

emissions related to reagent transportation from New Zealand to the United States, and eliminate the use of

dry ice, itself a source of carbon dioxide, for trans-Pacific shipping. Additional benefits include lower logistics

costs, improved regulatory compliance and faster delivery times.

Efficient test sales, distribution and support

We are continuously working to enhance the efficiency of our test kit sales, distribution and support for

medical professionals and patients. Investments in clinical studies to support the evidence coverage and

guidelines pillar have resulted in the inclusion of Cxbladder Triage in the American Urological Association’s

Microhematuria guidelines. These advancements, combined with guidelines inclusions, are expected to

increase the number of tests conducted per clinic or urologist, thereby reducing the emissions per test.

As our test volumes have grown, we have been able to distribute test kits in bulk or larger packs, particularly

for large customers such as Kaiser Permanente, further improving distribution efficiency and reducing

emissions per test.

4. RISK MANAGEMENT
Pacific Edge has a comprehensive risk management framework, using Failure Modes and Effect Analysis

(FMEA) to assess and manage climate-related risks as well as other business and market-related risks. As a

health provider, we must meet stringent regulatory, quality, health and safety and manufacturing standards

in each of the countries we operate in. Risk management is therefore embedded in everyday practices,

which include regular internal and external audits, training, quality management systems, risk reporting and

promotion of a strong risk culture.

Risks are identified and assessed in each board reporting cycle through a bottom-up process which

includes:

• ensuring staff are appropriately trained on the use of FMEA, risk assessment and management (including

climate-related physical and transition risks)

• reporting by departmental leaders of any new or changed risks associated with their area in the risk

register

• all new or changed risks captured in the FMEA template – overseen by the COO

• assessment of climate-related risks and opportunities by the Sustainability Committee

• review and prioritisation of risks by the CEO, CFO and COO using risk priority number (RPN) and heat

maps

• review and oversight of risk register and risk management processes and policies by the Audit and Risk

Committee (ARC)

• presentation and summary of risk movements provided to the Board at each meeting, with an annual

deep dive on risk led by the ARC.

The ARC reports to and assists the Board by ensuring that there is an effective risk management framework

in place. This includes robust policies and procedures to effectively identify, treat, monitor and report key

business risks, and to assess their potential financial impact on Pacific Edge. Risks, including climate-related

risks, are reviewed by the Board at every scheduled meeting. To ensure comprehensive oversight, the ARC

leads a focused ”deep dive” into these risks.

The ARC typically meets at least four times per year and receives risk updates from across the business.

In regard to sustainability and climate matters, the Sustainability Committee provides updates that enable

the ARC to assess execution of strategy, monitor risk management practices and engage external climate

experts to support Pacific Edge’s disclosure and risk mitigation efforts. The ARC also updates the Board

annually on broader sustainability matters, including climate-related matters.

The Sustainability Committee meets at least quarterly to review and prioritise climate-related risks. These

are assessed over short (0 - 5 years), medium (5 – 10 years) and long (10+ years) time horizons using FMEA

methodology. Each risk is scored based on potential severity, probability and detectability, with a maximum

score of 10 per assessment. Multiplying these provides an overall risk score, with a maximum of 1,000.

Since January 2024, climate-related risks and opportunities have been documented in a dedicated climate

risk register. While this register is separate, it is fully aligned with the enterprise risk framework and uses the

same methodologies and processes, with the exception being the longer time horizon relevant to climate

related risks.

The Sustainability Committee meets with the ARC at least annually to conduct a deep dive of climate-

related risks, reviewing time horizons and climate scenarios based on the IPCC pathways (Orderly, Disorderly

and Hothouse). For Board reporting purposes, climate-related risks are presented using a medium-term (5-

10 year) horizon and under an IPCC RCP 6.0 scenario, which provides a longer outlook and ensures physical

and transition risks are included and assessed.

All materially significant parts of Pacific Edge’s value chain – such as materials supply, couriers,

transportation and travel – are included in the climate risk management process, ensuring a comprehensive

view across operations.

5. METRICS AND TARGETS
FY 25 was Pacific Edge’s second year of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions measurement, with FY 24

providing the baseline for comparative analysis. Accordingly, there is only one comparative year available

for analysis of emissions trends. Consistent with FY 24, our FY 25 reporting covers Scope 1, Scope 2 and

selected Scope 3 emissions, along with key intensity metrics.

OUR METRICS

We recognise the challenge of managing emissions in a growing business and remain committed to playing

our part in transitioning towards a low-emissions, climate-resilient future. To support this, we have developed

intensity-based metrics that reflect our focus on becoming more efficient as we grow.

Our emissions performance is measured against two intensity-based key performance indicators (KPIs), with

GHG emissions per test throughput identified as our primary reporting metric. This KPI was selected as it

reflects both social and environmental objectives – capturing our operational growth while ensuring climate

impact remains an important consideration.

Table 7

Rationale for using the KPI

Test throughputGHG emissions

Test throughput is the single best metric of Pacific Edge’s production

for any given year. As test volumes increase, so will our activities

to support sales, training and freight associated with test volume.

Reducing our GHG emissions to an intensity target based on test

throughput will demonstrate our efficiency gains over time.

Activities responsible for generating significant emissions

Scope 1 and 2 emissions are relatively limited, primarily arising from refrigerants and electricity usage used in

our laboratory equipment. Purchased electricity is used to power our CLIA certified laboratories and office

facilities in Dunedin, New Zealand and Hershey, Pennsylvania, USA.

Scope 3 emissions are broader and include travel, freight, waste and electricity transmission and distribution

losses. Adoption Provision 4: Scope 3 GHG emissions – provides an exemption from the requirement to

disclose all scope 3 emissions in an entity's first or second reporting period. On the basis that FY 25 is

Pacific Edge's second reporting period, the scope 3 emissions detailed in Table 9 on page 19 have been

excluded from our GHG emissions.

limited assurance by PwC. The Scope 3 emissions data for 2025, and the emissions intensity for 2025 are not subject to assurance. The 2024 emissions

data for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 and the emissions intensity for 2024 have not been subject to independent assurance by PwC.

16

Travel is by far the largest contributor, accounting for 80.8% of all emissions in FY 25 (82.1% of all emissions
for FY 24). Due to the specialised nature of cancer diagnostic tests, in-person support and training remain

essential for clinicians and patients, making travel unavoidable in many instances. Most staff travel, including

air travel and business travel in non-company owned vehicles, is attributed to our Sales team (supporting

and growing the use of Cxbladder) and Clinical Studies team (for study site visits to build our clinical

evidence portfolio).

Air freight is primarily used to transport test kit components from suppliers to our laboratories; to ship test

kits to customers; and to return samples from customers for processing. Business travel has been identified

as a key area for improving emissions efficiency.

Influences over the activities

We expect staff air travel and business travel in non-company owned vehicles to rise in the short to medium

term as we work to expand test throughput and fulfil the unmet need for a diagnostics tool that assists in

the detection and treatment of bladder cancer. While the increasing size of our team will likely drive higher

absolute emissions, our focus on improving sales team efficiency – specifically, increasing the number of

tests per physician - is expected to reduce GHG emissions intensity per test.

Air freight is also projected to grow in the short term as we focus on increasing test throughput. However,

once a critical mass is reached, we anticipate opportunities to improve efficiency in procurement,

distribution and sample return logistics. These efficiencies are expected to reduce emissions intensity over

time.

Significant sources that cannot be influenced

There are limited options to significantly reduce our use of electricity as this is an essential input to

operation of our diagnostic labs and associated office space.

RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES

Pacific Edge’s business assets are currently assessed as a low-risk rating and are not materially vulnerable

to either physical or transition risks. Likewise, no business assets are specifically aligned with climate-related

opportunities. Given this risk profile, internal emissions pricing has not been applied in the assessment of

climate-related risks, opportunities or impacts.

However, Pacific Edge continues to invest in strategic projects (outlined on pages 12 and 13), that are

expected to deliver significant social, economic and climate benefits. These projects are guided by our

culture of continual improvement, with emissions reduction considered alongside broader strategic

considerations. While climate-specific risks to physical assets are limited, we remain proactive in identifying

and managing risks through our enterprise risk management framework and scenario analysis approach.

Remuneration

FY 24 was the baseline year for reporting. As outlined on page 12, our transition plan was implemented

through FY 25, with key initiatives focused on simplification, automation, supplier engagement, and

efficiency in test distribution and support. These initiatives are foundational to Pacific Edge’s growth

strategy and have been implemented to support both business performance and emissions reduction.

Progress and success in delivering these key initiatives are reflected in key performance indicators (KPIs)

that help determine the remuneration of relevant employees across Pacific Edge. This ensures alignment

between Pacific Edge’s sustainability objectives and the incentives provided to its workforce, embedding

climate-related priorities into day-to-day operations and long-term strategic goals.

PACIFIC EDGE LIMITED CLIMATE REPORT 2025

OUR TARGETS
Pacific Edge is committed to managing and reducing its GHG emissions in line with climate reporting

requirements. We have set a clear target to reduce total emissions per test throughput by 20% by

31 March 2029.

In setting this target, we have considered relevant policies and frameworks such as the Science Based

Targets initiative (SBTi), as well as our core mission – to improve social outcomes through the early

detection and better management of cancer.

Delivering improved social outcomes involves increasing access to our tests for more people around the

globe. As we expand globally, we anticipate an increase in absolute emissions, particularly from staff and

related travel, which remains essential to support the wider adoption of our tests. Due to the nature of our

service, virtual delivery of the support and training expected by patients and physicians is not always a

viable alternative.

However, while travel-related emissions may rise, we expect the growth in test volumes to outpace emissions

growth. By improving operational efficiency while accelerating test adoption, we will lower the emissions

intensity per test.

Our key target is to reduce total emissions per test throughput

by 20% over a 5-year period i.e. by 31 March 2029.

The 5-year target period aligns with Pacific Edge’s 5-10 year product development timeline, ensuring climate

goals support long-term business strategy. We believe the social benefit of early cancer detection justifies

an increase in absolute emissions as we expand global access to Cxbladder.

Our focus remains on growing test volumes as carbon-efficiently as possible, reducing emissions intensity

and contributing to efforts to limit global warming to 1.5 ̊C. Importantly, incorporating Cxbladder into the

clinical pathway has been shown to reduce carbon emissions per patient compared to traditional standards

of care, which are heavily reliant on cystoscopy to diagnose or rule out bladder cancer.

We have not relied on offsets to achieve this target. By prioritising real reductions through accelerated test

adoption and improved travel efficiency - key organisational performance drivers – we consider that offsets

would deliver minimal additional value.

PERFORMANCE AGAINST TARGET(S)

Pacific Edge has achieved a 5.9% reduction in emissions intensity, lowering the total emissions per test from

0.034 tCO

2

e in FY 24 to 0.032 tCO

2

e in FY25. This progress reflects the early success of our transition plan

and reinforces that meaningful emissions reductions can be achieved without compromising our broader

goal.

Key measures contributing to this reduction include initiatives focused on simplification, automation,

supplier engagement and increased efficiency in test distribution and support. These efforts are described

in our transition plan (see page 12). Progress against our intensity target will continue to be monitored and

reported annually.

In FY 25, Pacific Edge collaborated with Te Whatu Ora – Health New Zealand Waitaha Canterbury and Toitū

Envirocare to assess the GHG emissions impact of incorporating Cxbladder into a revised standard of care

for bladder cancer assessment, compared to the existing standard of care. Initial findings show this revised

approach can reduce emissions by up to 30% when compared to the existing standard of care, which is

heavily reliant on cystoscopy.

This reduction highlights the potential for clinical innovation to help drive environmental benefits, supporting

global efforts to limit warming to 1.5 ̊C.

Baseline period1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024 (FY 24)

Measurement

standard (subject to

assurance)

The GHG emissions included in this inventory were measured in accordance with

the methodology described in the Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting

and Reporting Standard (GHG Protocol).

Consolidation

approach (subject to

assurance)

An equity share consolidation approach was used to account for emissions. This was

adopted because it most accurately reflects the nature of Pacific Edge and its

subsidiaries.

Organisation

boundaries (subject

to assurance)

Organisational boundaries were set with reference to the methodology described in

the GHG Protocol. Pacific Edge has accounted for all parts of its business and has

included the entities Pacific Edge Limited, Pacific Edge Diagnostics USA Limited,

Pacific Edge Diagnostics New Zealand Limited, Pacific Edge (Australia) PTY Limited,

Pacific Edge Diagnostics Singapore Pte Limited and Pacific Edge Analytical Services

Limited.

Emissions factors

and Global Warming

Potential (GWP)

(subject to assurance)

All emissions were calculated using Toitū emanage system based on emissions factors

and GWPs collated by Toitū Envirocare. The original source that Toitū Envirocare has

used in its collation of emissions factors and GWPs is detailed in Table 10.

Calculations and

uncertainties (subject

to assurance)

A calculation methodology has been used for quantifying the emissions inventory

based on the following calculation approach, unless otherwise stated below:

Emissions = activity data or spend-based calculation x emissions factor

Where applicable, unit conversions applied when processing the activity data have

been disclosed.

The systems and procedures in place are consistent with the prior year.

All purchased and generated energy emissions are reported using the location-based

method. Pacific Edge aligns to location-based reporting for tracking energy-related

emissions and reductions over time.

GHG emission quantification is inherently uncertain due to the necessity to estimate

and apply judgements, and because of incomplete scientific knowledge used to

determine emission factors and the values needed to combine emissions of different

gases. Uncertainties and assumptions are described in Table 10 on pages 20-22.

Actions to improve

data quality (not

subject to assurance)

Pacific Edge has projects underway to improve data quality for:

1. Air travel – implementation of a travel management platform to use a centralised

portal for booking and recording travel across the company

2. Air freight – working with third-party freight suppliers to gain access to data in

respect of freight-related emissions

Exclusions (not

subject to assurance)

Pacific Edge has not excluded any material emissions sources, facilities, operations or

assets from its emissions inventory. An exercise was undertaken to distil immaterial

emissions sources from those that were material to Pacific Edge. The immaterial

emission sources form less than 1% of the total scope or category and do not

exceed 5% of our total inventory. The excluded emissions sources are not considered

significant to our inventory, intended use or users and include:

• Exhibition and conference booths and collaborations

• Compliance and regulatory affairs

• Digital marketing activities

• Collaborations with academic institutions to generate clinical evidence

• General office expenditure including IT maintenance and subscriptions

• Calibration and maintenance of lab and office equipment

• Staff training and development

ASSURANCE

The assurance requirements of NZCS1 apply to Pacific Edge for FY 25 and beyond. In this regard, for FY

25, Pacific Edge has sought assurance for its scope 1 and 2 emissions. However, we have elected to use the

adoption provisions which allow climate reporting entities to not seek assurance for their scope 3 emissions.

From the year ending 31 March 2026 (FY 26) and beyond, our intention is to seek assurance over our scope

1, 2 and 3 emissions in accordance with NZCS1.

To the Directors of Pacific Edge Limited


Limited Assurance Report on Pacific Edge Limited’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG)

Disclosures

Our conclusion

We have undertaken a limited assurance engagement on the gross GHG emissions, additional

required disclosures of gross GHG emissions, and gross GHG emissions methods, assumptions and

estimation uncertainty (the GHG Disclosures), within the Scope of our Limited Assurance Engagement

section below, included in the Climate Report of Pacific Edge Limited (the Company) and its

subsidiaries (the Group) for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence we have obtained, nothing has come

to our attention that causes us to believe that the GHG Disclosures are not fairly presented and are

not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the Aotearoa New Zealand Climate

Standards (NZ CSs) issued by the External Reporting Board (XRB), as explained on page 2 of the

Climate Report.

Scope of our Limited Assurance Engagement

We have undertaken a limited assurance engagement over the following GHG Disclosures on page 16

of the Climate Report for the year ended 31 March 2025:

● gross GHG emissions:

○ Scope 1 Direct emissions on page 16; and

○ Scope 2 Indirect emissions from imported energy on page 16;

● additional required disclosures of gross GHG emissions on page 19-20; and

● gross GHG emissions methods, assumptions and estimation uncertainty on pages 19-20.

Our assurance engagement does not extend to any other information included, or referred to, in the

Climate Report on pages 2 to 22. The comparative information for the year ended 31 March 2024

disclosed in the Group’s Climate Report is not covered by the assurance conclusion expressed in this

report. We have not performed any procedures with respect to the excluded information and,

therefore, no conclusion is expressed on it.

Other matter - comparative information

The comparative GHG Disclosures (that is, GHG Disclosures for the year ended 31 March 2024) have

not been subject to assurance. As such, these disclosures are not covered by our assurance

conclusion.

Directors’ responsibilities

The Directors of the Company are responsible on behalf of the Company for the preparation and fair

presentation of the GHG Disclosures in accordance with NZ CSs. This responsibility includes the

design, implementation and maintenance of internal controls relevant to the preparation of GHG

Disclosures that are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

Inherent Uncertainty in preparing GHG Disclosures

As discussed on page 19 of the Climate Report, the GHG quantification is subject to inherent

uncertainty because of incomplete scientific knowledge used to determine emissions factors and the

values needed to combine emissions of different gases.

issued by the External Reporting Board (XRB) (NZ SAE 1). NZ SAE 1 is founded on the fundamental

principles of independence, integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality

and professional behaviour.

We have also complied with the following professional and ethical standards and accreditation body

requirements:

●Professional and Ethical Standard 1: International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners

(including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand);

●Professional and Ethical Standard 3: Quality Management for Firms that Perform Audits or

Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other Assurance or Related Services Engagements; and

●Professional and Ethical Standard 4: Engagement Quality Reviews.

We are independent of the Group. Other than in our capacity as assurance practitioner and provider of

audit and other related assurance services, our firm carried out other assignments in the areas of

other services relating to half year review procedures and the provision of a training workshop. The

firm has no other relationship with, or interests in, the Group. The provision of these other services has

not impaired our independence.

Assurance practitioner’s responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the GHG Disclosures based on the procedures we

have performed and the evidence we have obtained. NZ SAE 1 requires us to plan and perform the

engagement to obtain the intended level of assurance about whether anything has come to our

attention that causes us to believe that the GHG Disclosures are not fairly presented and are not

prepared, in all material respects, in accordance NZ CSs, whether due to fraud or error, and to report

our conclusion to the Directors of the Company.

As we are engaged to form an independent conclusion on the GHG Disclosures prepared by

management, we are not permitted to be involved in the preparation of the GHG information as doing

so may compromise our independence.

Summary of work performed

Our limited assurance engagement was performed in accordance with NZ SAE 1, and ISAE (NZ) 3410

Assurance Engagements on Greenhouse Gas Emissions. This involves assessing the suitability in the

circumstances of the Group’s use of NZ CSs as the basis for the preparation of the GHG Disclosures,

assessing the risks of material misstatement of the GHG Disclosures whether due to fraud or error,

responding to the assessed risks as necessary in the circumstances, and evaluating the overall

presentation of the GHG Disclosures.

A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in scope than a reasonable assurance

engagement in relation to both the risk assessment procedures, including an understanding of internal

control, and the procedures performed in response to the assessed risks.

The procedures we performed were based on our professional judgement and included enquiries,

observation of processes performed, inspection of documents, analytical procedures, evaluating the

appropriateness of quantification methods and reporting policies, and agreeing or reconciling with

underlying records. In undertaking our limited assurance engagement on the GHG Disclosures, we:

●Obtained, through enquiries, an understanding of the Group’s control environment, processes and

information systems relevant to the preparation of the GHG Disclosures. We did not evaluate the

design of particular control activities, or obtain evidence about their implementation;

●Evaluated whether the Group’s methods for developing estimates are appropriate and had been

consistently applied. Our procedures did not include testing the data on which the estimates are

PwC 25
based or separately developing our own estimates against which to evaluate the Group’s

estimates;

●Tested a limited number of items to, or from, supporting records, as appropriate;

●Assessed a limited number of emission factor sources and reperformed a limited number of

emissions calculations for mathematical accuracy;

●Performed scanning analytical procedures of Group’s owned and leased asset registers to assess

the completeness of the emissions sources including site visit;

●Performed scanning analytical procedures over the expenses general ledger against the keywords

related to emissions to assess the completeness of the reported emissions;

●Performed analytical procedures on particular emission categories by comparing the expected

GHGs emitted to actual GHGs emitted and made enquiries of management to obtain explanations

for any significant differences we identified; and

●Assessed the presentation and disclosure of the GHG Disclosures.

The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are

less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance

obtained in a limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would have

been obtained had we performed a reasonable assurance engagement and does not enable us to

obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that we otherwise might

identify. Accordingly, we do not express a reasonable assurance opinion on these GHG Disclosures.

Inherent limitations

Because of the inherent limitations of an assurance engagement, together with the internal

control structure, it is possible that fraud, error or non-compliance may occur and not be detected.

Who we report to

This report is made solely to the Company’s Directors, as a body. Our work has been undertaken so

that we might state those matters which we are required to state to them in our assurance report and

for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility

The engagement partner on the engagement resulting in this independent assurance report is Victoria
