Update: Aligning timings

Vernalis’s preparations for the potential Q315 launch of Tuzistra XR, its first extended release (ER) cough cold product for the US prescription-only market, are well underway. Tuzistra XR has a 30 April 2015 PDUFA date. In addition to ongoing staged investment into establishing the US commercial infrastructure, the company is changing its accounting reference date and financial year end (from 31 December to 30 June) to be better aligned with the inherent seasonality of the US cough cold market. This update note restates our forecasts and valuation to reflect this.
