Strategy Update, sticking to its objectives

In place of a trading statement that updates investors on the progress of its revenue-generating businesses and its products in development, RUA’s strategy update has been well-received by investors because it outlines the path of the business to greater and earlier revenues than we had expected in RUA Contract Manufacture and RUA Structural Heart. The strategy also lowers the risks for investors compared to funding the development of RUA’s products solely by an equity offering, at a time where life science markets are depressed and the potential dilution punitive.

RUA Contract Manufacture, the contract manufacturer of medical devices using implantable fabrics with a biocompatible Elast-Eon coating, is responding to a formal bid request that could result in around £2m in revenues, with much of that recuring on an annual basis. Thus, RUA’s board’s objective of doubling the scale of the contract manufacturing business in the medium term is on track.
