What did Pro Medicus report?

  • Revenue: $261.7 million, up 22.9% year-on-year
  • Underlying EBIT: $196.1 million, up 24.4%
  • Reported NPAT: $265.3 million, up 130.3%
  • Underlying NPAT: $144.7 million, up 24.1%
  • Cash and financial assets: $252.3 million, up 19.7%
  • Final dividend: 37 cents per share, total full-year dividend 69 cents, up 25.5%

What else do investors need to know?

Pro Medicus signed 10 new contracts during the year, totalling at least $407 million in value, including a major 10-year deal with UC Health Colorado. The company also renewed six key contracts, worth $141 million, all on five-year terms with increased transaction fees.

On a constant currency basis, revenue, EBIT, and NPAT each saw gains above 28%. The company's pipeline remains strong, supported by new product launches in digital pathology and AI-optimised reporting as well as a nearly complete Trinity implementation.

What did Pro Medicus Limited management say?

Dr Sam Hupert, Chief Executive Officer, said:

We were aiming for 30% increases in EBIT and NPAT, and we exceeded both on a constant currency basis. Importantly, we have proven that with one platform and one business model we can address virtually every opportunity in diagnostic imaging, providing us with the largest total addressable market. Progress made in the cardiology market represents another important string to our bow. We see this trend continuing.

What's next for Pro Medicus?

Looking ahead, Pro Medicus says it expects to benefit from its newly signed contracts and recent implementations, particularly as the Trinity rollout is now largely complete. Management highlights a strong pipeline with a growing number of inbound requests from major US healthcare institutions.

The company is aiming to further expand its presence in both diagnostic imaging and cardiology, leveraging its one-platform approach and ongoing product innovation.
