Insights

Financial Analyst

Trinity Biotech's Q2 2024 results show promising growth, particularly in their Point-of-Care segment. Total revenues increased by 14% year-over-year to $15.8 million, driven by strong demand for TrinScreen HIV. The PoC segment saw an impressive 119.4% year-over-year growth.

However, the company is still operating at a loss, albeit reduced from the previous year. The operating loss decreased to $4.1 million from $14.9 million in Q2 2023. This improvement is largely due to lower impairment charges and reduced overheads from cost-saving initiatives.

The company's gross margin remained stable at 36.2%, but faces pressure from the lower-margin TrinScreen HIV sales. Trinity Biotech expects margins to improve as production efficiency increases and manufacturing is transferred to a lower-cost location.

The reiterated guidance of $20 million annualized run-rate EBITDASO on $75 million annualized run-rate revenues by Q2 2025 suggests confidence in their transformation plan. However, investors should monitor the execution of these initiatives closely.

Medical Research Analyst

Trinity Biotech's focus on HIV screening and diabetes management solutions is showing positive results. The TrinScreen HIV test's strong performance, generating $3.1 million in Q2 2024, indicates growing market acceptance and potential for further expansion in developing countries.

The company's investment in Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) technology is progressing well, with pre-pivotal clinical trials underway. This move into the rapidly growing CGM market could be a significant growth driver if successful. The engagement of a world-leading electronics design group for the next-generation CGM system development is a positive step.

However, the temporary decline in haemoglobin instrument sales (10.8% lower year-over-year) warrants attention. While this aligns with the company's strategy to reposition its offering, it's important to monitor whether the new improved diabetes column system can drive growth in this segment.

The ongoing R&D investment, with $2.2 million spent on biosensor development this quarter, demonstrates Trinity's commitment to innovation but also impacts short-term profitability.

Market Research Analyst

Trinity Biotech's Q2 2024 results reflect a company in transition, with promising growth in new product lines balanced against restructuring efforts. The strong performance in Point-of-Care products, particularly the TrinScreen HIV test, indicates a successful market entry and potential for continued growth in developing markets.

The company's comprehensive transformation plan, focusing on manufacturing consolidation and offshoring of corporate services, shows a commitment to improving profitability. However, the $1.9 million restructuring charge in Q2 2024 highlights the short-term costs of these changes.

The biosensor development for Continuous Glucose Monitoring represents a strategic move into a high-growth market. The reported "significant strategic and commercial interest" in this solution is encouraging, but investors should be aware that success in this competitive field is not guaranteed.

Trinity's ability to execute its transformation plan while maintaining revenue growth will be crucial. The guidance for $75 million annualized run-rate revenues by Q2 2025 sets a clear target for investors to measure progress against.

-Q2, 2024 total revenues of $15.8 million grew +14% Y/Y and +7.7% Q/Q based on strong demand and output in the TrinScreen HIV business-

-Point-of-Care product revenue of $4.6 million grew 119% Y/Y and +53% Q/Q-

DUBLIN, Aug. 14, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trinity Biotech plc (Nasdaq: TRIB), a commercial stage biotechnology company focused on human diagnostics and diabetes management solutions, including wearable biosensors, today announced the Company’s results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Existing Business - Key Highlights

Strong Revenue and Profitability Improvements

• Strong demand and output in TrinScreen HIV drove a 14.0% year-on-year revenue increase and 7.7% quarter-on-quarter revenue increase.
• 119% year-on-year revenue growth in our Point-of-Care (“PoC”) products, with PoC delivering 53% quarter-on-quarter revenue growth.
• Continued disciplined execution on profitability enhancing initiatives contributed to:
  • a decrease in the operating loss (before restructuring and impairment charges) to $1.7 million:
    • from $4.0m in Q2, 2023, a 59% improvement, and
    • from $3.0m in Q1, 2024, a 45% improvement.
  • Based upon strong execution and continued momentum in the new management team’s Comprehensive Transformation Plan (see below), the Company expects further gross margin and EBITDASO¹ improvement through 2024 and into 2025.
  • Company reiterates guidance of approximately $20 million of annualized run-rate EBITDASO¹ on annualised run-rate revenues of approximately $75 million by Q2, 2025. This outlook is predicated solely on growth from the existing businesses including haemoglobin testing and HIV, and planned improvements to operating margins, with no contribution from the recently acquired biosensor business.

Comprehensive Transformation Plan – Key Developments

• Management continues to make significant progress on the expedited execution of the profitability focused initiatives announced in early 2024:
  • Consolidate & Offshore Manufacturing:
    • We successfully completed the transfer of one of our rapid HIV product manufacturing processes to our offshore manufacturing partner. We are currently preparing the necessary data to support the submission to the relevant regulator to permit commercial production with our offshore partner.
    • We have made significant progress in consolidating our main Haemoglobin manufacturing activities currently carried at our Kansas City plant into two of our other existing sites. We remain on track to cease the main manufacturing at our Kansas City site by the end of 2024. 
  • Optimise Supply Chain:
    • We have successfully transitioned a significant proportion of our Haemoglobins instrumentation supply chain to lower cost providers. We expect this shift will be gross margin accretive and provide meaningful working capital benefits.
  • Centralise & Offshore Corporate Services:
    • We have completed a significant amount of the knowledge transfer process to our intended outsourced partner and have informed affected staff of the impact on their roles.
    • We expect this centralised corporate services site to be live by Q4, 2024 and to start delivering net savings in Q4, 2024.

Biosensor Developments

• We continue to progress the development of our next generation Continuous Glucose Monitoring (“CGM”) system in line with our previously communicated plan.
• We have engaged a world leading electronics design group, to support the design of this next generation solution, along with our internal team and other partners.
• We successfully initiated our first pre-pivotal clinical trial and expect this trial to conclude in September. 
• We have received ethical approval to begin a second pre-pivotal clinical trial in Q4, 2024. This pre-pivotal clinical trial will give us further insights into the sensor optimisation pathway, and we expect to receive Competent Authority approval to commence the trial in the coming weeks. Results from both pre-pivotal trials will be applied to guide the design of the pivotal trial that will be used to apply for marketing approval in 2025.
• We continue to see significant strategic and commercial interest in our next generation solution.

Second Quarter Results (Unaudited)

Total revenues for Q2, 2024 were $15.8m compared to $13.9m in Q2, 2023, an increase of 14.0% and which consisted of the following:

	2024 Quarter 2	2023 Quarter 2	Increase/ (decrease)
	US$’000	US$’000	%
Clinical Laboratory	11,267	11,812	(4.6%)
Point-of-Care	4,576	2,086	119.4%
Total	15,843	13,898	14.0%

Our Point-of Care (‘PoC’) portfolio generated revenues of $4.6m for Q2, 2024, compared to $2.1m in Q2, 2023, an increase of 119.4%. Sales of our HIV screening test, TrinScreen HIV were $3.1m in the quarter (Nil in Q2, 2023) as we continued to see increased demand following our initial shipments in late 2023.

Our clinical laboratory revenues were $11.3m in Q2, 2024, a decrease of $0.5m or 4.6% compared to $11.8m in Q2, 2023. There was a strong performance in the quarter from our clinical chemistry portfolio which grew 20.4% year-over-year. This increase in our clinical chemistry revenues was offset by revenue decreases in our haemoglobins revenues, which were 10.8% lower year-over-year, primarily as a result of lower instrument sales in the period. The temporary decline in instrument sales is in line with expectations as we commercially reposition our instrument offering in line with our new improved diabetes column system which is now being rolled out.

Gross profit for the quarter was $5.7m, an increase of $0.7m compared to Q2, 2023. Gross margin for Q2, 2024 was 36.2%, which was in line with gross margin in Q2, 2023. As expected, we recorded improved margins in our haemoglobins division in Q2, 2024 due to the financial benefits resulting from our previously announced initiatives, namely our revised in-house manufacturing process of our key diabetes HbA1c consumable, which we fully implemented by the end of Q2, 2024.

The improved margin performance in haemoglobins this quarter was offset by the negative margin impact of the higher TrinScreen HIV revenues which are currently achieving lower-than-average gross margin returns. The higher TrinScreen revenues will continue to pressure our overall gross margin percentage in the second half of 2024 given its lower price point when compared to our other HIV rapid test, Uni-Gold, and because of reduced efficiency as we scale up production capacity of this new product. We do expect TrinScreen HIV gross margins to improve as 2024 progresses due to increased operational efficiency and the expected transfer of assembly to a lower cost manufacturing location by the end of 2024.

R&D
Research and development expenses in Q2, 2024 were $1.0m, a decrease of $0.2m compared to Q2, 2023. We capitalized $2.8m (including capitalized borrowing costs of $0.8m as required by IAS 23) for the quarter in relation to our biosensor development as we continued our development activities post our acquisition of the Waveform assets in January 2024. Our overall spend in the quarter, excluding interest costs, relating to our biosensor division was $2.2m.

SG&A
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $6.4m in Q2, 2024, compared to $7.9m in Q2, 2023, a decrease of $1.5m over the comparative period.

Key drivers of this lower SG&A expense include:

• Lower recurring salary costs of $0.8m in Q2, 2024 versus the comparative period, driven by headcount optimisation activities during Q3 and Q4 2023.
• Our share-based payments accounting charge was $0.9m lower in Q2, 2024 compared to Q2, 2023, due to headcount changes.
• These savings were partly offset by an unfavourable movement ($0.5m) in foreign exchange retranslation, which shifted from an FX gain of $0.1m in Q2, 2023, to an FX loss of $0.4m in Q2, 2024, largely related to the retranslation of foreign currency balances in our Brazilian subsidiary.

SG&A – Restructuring costs
As previously announced, the Company has implemented a comprehensive restructuring plan across the business to include the centralization and offshoring of corporate services and consolidation and relocation of manufacturing operations. The preparations for offshoring of corporate services are progressing well and offshoring will be live by Q4, 2024. Additionally, cessation of the main manufacturing activities in Kansas City remains on schedule and are expected to be completed by December 2024. A charge of $1.9m has been recognized in Q2, 2024 in relation to the costs associated with these restructuring activities.

An impairment charge of $0.4m was recorded in Q2, 2024 compared to an impairment charge of $10.8m in Q2, 2023. The impairment test performed as at June 30, 2024 identified that the value in use of some of our cash generating units was below the value of the carrying amount of their assets, other than inventories, accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents and deferred tax assets as at June 30, 2024. We have therefore recorded an impairment charge in relation to the asset additions (including lease assets) that had been recorded during 2024.

Operating loss for the quarter was $4.1m, compared to an operating loss of $14.9m in Q2, 2023. The lower loss this quarter was mainly attributable to the higher impairment charges and higher non-cash share-based payments charge in Q2, 2023, and reduced overheads in Q2, 2024, as a result of cost saving initiatives.

Financial expenses in Q2, 2024 were $2.8m compared to $3.8m in Q2, 2023, a decrease of $1.0m. The financial expense for the current and comparative period are summarized in the table below.

	Q2, 2024 US$000		Q2, 2023 US$000
Term loan interest	3,055		2,475
Penalty for early settlement of term loan	-		905
Convertible note interest	290		277
Notional interest on lease liabilities for Right-of-use assets	150		157
Fair value movement for derivative balances related to term loan	78		9
Fair value movement on prepayment option	62		-
Accretion interest on deferred contingent consideration	25		-
Capitalization of borrowing costs	(824	)	-
	2,836		3,823

Loss after tax on continuing operations
Loss after tax on continuing operations for the quarter was $6.8m compared to $18.3m for the equivalent period last year.

EBITDASO
Loss before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization, share option expense, impairment and restructuring costs (Adjusted EBITDASO) for continuing operations for Q2, 2024 was $1.4m, compared to $2.6m for the comparative period. This is made up as follows:

	Q2, 2024 US$000	Q2, 2023 US$000
Operating loss	(4,052)	(14,852)
Depreciation	(65)	305
Amortization	218	179
Impairment	446	10,815
Restructuring costs	1,939	-
Adjusted EBITDA for continuing operations	(1,514)	(3,553)
Share option expense	114	975
Adjusted EBITDASO for continuing operations	(1,400)	(2,578)

The Basic Loss per ADS for Q2, 2024 was $0.71 compared to a basic loss per ADS of $0.78 in Q2, 2023. Diluted Loss per ADS is the same as Basic Loss per ADS for both current and comparative quarters.

Liquidity

The Group’s cash balance decreased from $5.8m at the end of Q1, 2024 to $5.3m at the end of Q2, 2024, a decrease of $0.5m.

Cash used by operating activities for Q2, 2024 was $1.1m (Q2, 2023: $4.4m). During Q2, 2024 the Company had investing cash outflows of $3.2m (Q2, 2023 inflow of $27.9m), the largest elements of this related to the capitalization of development of our CGM device. Interest payments in the quarter were $2m (Q2, 2023: $1.9m).

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

The attached summary unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with IFRS, the Company presents non-IFRS presentations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDASO. The adjustments to the Company's IFRS results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company's underlying operational results, trends, and performance. Non-IFRS financial measures mainly exclude, if and when applicable, the effect of share-based payments, depreciation, amortization, restructuring costs and impairment charges.

Adjusted EBITDA for continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDASO for continuing operations are presented to evaluate the Company's financial and operating results on a consistent basis from period to period. The Company also believes that these measures, when viewed in combination with the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS, provide useful information to investors to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends. Adjusted EBITDA for continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDASO for continuing operations, however, should not be considered as an alternative to operating income or net income for the period and may not be indicative of the historic operating results of the Company; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. Adjusted EBITDA for continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDASO for continuing operations are not measures of financial performance under IFRS and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures for other companies. Reconciliation between the Company's operating loss and Adjusted EBITDA for continuing operations and Adjusted EBITDASO for continuing operations are presented.
