INBS Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc

Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc. (Nasdaq: INBS) (“INBS” or the “Company”), a medical technology company delivering intelligent, rapid, non-invasive testing solutions, announced its financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full-year ended June 30, 2024, and provided a business update.

Fiscal fourth quarter revenue totalled $0.73 million, an increase of 64% compared to the same period the prior year, and full-year revenue totalled $3.11 million, an increase of 148% compared to the prior fiscal year. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $6.30 million in cash.

“Our fiscal 2024 results reflect the dedication we have invested as a team to really drive the business forward,” said Harry Simeonidis, President and CEO at INBS. “Customer demand has remained strong, with orders increasing across the board as more businesses turn to our drug screening technology to safeguard their workforce and uphold their reputation for prioritizing safety. Our progress is promising, and we are continuously refining our strategy to ensure sustainable and profitable long-term growth. We remain on track for our planned FDA 510(k) submission in the fourth calendar quarter of this year and look forward to the opportunities this will unlock in 2025.”

In addition, INBS reported a 20% increase in cartridge sales and a 26% increase in reader sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, compared to the prior fiscal year.

Spiro Sakiris, CFO at INBS, commented, “We closed out fiscal 2024 with strong results. We have ensured revenue growth through concentrated expansion of our footprint, and with over 1,000 readers now installed, we are generating consistent and recurring revenue from cartridge sales.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year Ended June 30, 2024, Financial Results

All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless indicated otherwise.

The Company’s revenue increased by 148% to $3.11 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.26 million for the fiscal year 2023.

The increase in revenue is due to market demand, increasing brand and product awareness, and continued expansion of the Company’s customer base. Throughout fiscal year 2024, the Company launched its Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening System in the APAC region through its subsidiary, Intelligent Bio Solutions (APAC) Pty Ltd, adding to its existing commercialization and marketing efforts in the United Kingdom and Europe.

Loss from operations was $10.28 million for the 2024 fiscal year, compared to $12.59 million in the prior fiscal year. This improvement was primarily driven by an increase in revenue of $1.85 million and gross profit of $1.10 million, complemented by a reduction in total operating expenses of $1.53 million. The net loss attributable to INBS for fiscal year 2024 was $10.16 million, compared to $10.63 million in the prior fiscal year. This is mainly due to a fair value gain on the revaluation of financial instrument of $0.18 million in the fiscal year 2024 compared to $2.15 million in the prior fiscal year.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totalled approximately $6.30 million.
