Investment summary

Confirmation of near-term purchase orders and service revenues from key customers means that ProMetic Life Sciences has improved visibility on near-term revenue predictability. The company is now emerging from a period where there was a gap in major orders, and expects 2012 to be a stronger year for revenues. This view is supported by the trigger of a $1m upfront payment related to the $2.5m H112 purchase order under its Octapharma supply agreement, and also the achievement of a key milestone with an undisclosed multinational company, leading to confirmed service revenues in 2012 and a potential long-term resin supply agreement.

Industry outlook

Other catalysts with the potential to boost revenues and sentiment include progress with product development partnerships, European commercialisation of the P-Capt prion reduction filter, and securing its funding base.
