AFT Pharmaceuticals - Poised for international market expansion

AFT continues to focus on expanding its product portfolio and broadening its geographical footprint (including increased investments in its affiliates), which we expect to translate into stronger market traction and an increased top-line for AFT over the medium term. The company has updated the market on its international growth efforts, announcing new manufacturing agreements for Maxigesic Rapid and Crystaderm (ahead of their expected launches in the US and Chinese markets, respectively) and partnership expansion with Hikma (its US licensee of Maxigesic IV) to commercialise Combogesic IV in Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Jordan. Concurrently, AFT has made inroads into the UK market through the recent launch of Combogesic tablets and IV.

AFT Pharmaceuticals - H125 profitability weighed down by one-offs

AFT Pharmaceuticals has released a trading update ahead of its H125 results, expecting to report a c NZ$2m operating loss for the period ending September 2024, driven by one-off factors affecting the top line, as well as increased investments in expanding its international footprint. While the domestic Australian and New Zealand (ANZ) market continued to perform well (double-digit growth), stocking rationalisation by certain international customers, a doctors strike in South Korea (a key market for Maxigesic IV, which drove 57% y-o-y revenue growth in Asia in FY24) and higher sales and marketi...

AFT Pharmaceuticals - Maxigesic IV reaches the Chinese shores

AFT Pharmaceuticals has taken another major step in extending its international footprint, with the signing of an exclusive license agreement for Maxigesic IV in China, the second-largest pharma market globally after the US. The agreement has been signed with Xizang Weixinkang Pharmaceutical, a major hospitals injectables focused company, and includes an upfront payment of US$300k along with development and sales-related milestones and royalty payments. Partner Hyloris Pharmaceuticals is entitled to a minority share of the payment, which we believe will be 35%, in line with the deal structure ...

AFT Pharmaceuticals - Hikma partnership expands to include Combogesic

AFT Pharmaceuticals has expanded its licensing partnership with Hikma in the US to include distribution of the recently launched Combogesic tablets (Maxigesic Rapid). We view this as a logical step, given Hikma’s established footprint in the US, with synergistic benefits likely on costs and sales uptake. Hikma already holds exclusive distribution rights to Maxigesic/Combogesic IV in the US and will now also market the tablet formulation in the same hospital and ambulatory setting. Management expects to book the first sales within CY24 and, while the deal economics have not been fully disclosed...

Accsys Technologies - Upgrading guidance for the full year

Accsys Technologies had a strong H125 with a return to revenue growth and gross margin exceeding its target of 30%. Adjusted EBITDA improved on the back of better than expected volume growth from the plant in Arnhem. The company has simplified and de-risked the group through the successful start-up of the plant in the United States and the decision to discontinue the project in Hull. After the good start of the year, Accsys increased guidance for the full year, with underlying profitability expected to improve in H2 as Accoya USA continues to ramp up.

Topps Tiles - Market outperformance again in FY24

Topps Tiles (TPT) has reported a good profit outturn for FY24, ahead of our prior expectations, which is encouraging in the context of the challenging external environment. Management believes the overall revenue decline of 5% means TPT has once again outperformed the market that it estimates to have declined by 10–15%. TPT has made good early progress on the key growth areas under its recently announced Mission 365 strategy, which are expected to drive the bulk of the growth in the medium term. With respect to the outlook for FY25, TPT has returned to positive revenue growth in the first eigh...

Nabaltec - Resilience and margin expansion

Nabaltec recorded revenue growth across the group of 1.5% y-o-y to €158.2m at 9M24, with sales volumes increasing 7.9% y-o-y despite selling prices falling. Functional Fillers revenue grew by 3.8% y-o-y to €114.1m due to strong demand for its viscosity optimised and fine precipitated aluminium hydroxides. Speciality Alumina revenue, however, decreased 4.1% y-o-y, partially offsetting group revenue growth due to a lack of impetus for reactive alumina in the wider market. Group EBIT grew 28.2% y-o-y to €16.8m (10.3% margin), due to higher capacity utilisation and lower costs of materials, energy...
