Insights
The acquisition of biosensor assets from Waveform Technologies by Trinity Biotech for a combination of cash and American Depositary Shares, coupled with the contingent consideration, represents a strategic move to expand into the wearable biosensor market. This move is particularly significant given the planned entry into large markets like China and India through a partnership with Bayer. The financial implications of this acquisition and partnership could be substantial, as the wearable health technology sector is rapidly growing. The focus on a lower cost of care for Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) devices may provide Trinity Biotech with a competitive edge in a market that is sensitive to pricing. However, the dilution effect of issuing 9 million ADS and the contingent consideration terms should be closely scrutinized for their long-term impact on shareholder value.
Moreover, the amended credit agreement with Perceptive Advisors, which provides additional funding and reduces interest rates, is a positive development from a liquidity standpoint. The reduction in interest rates and prepayment penalties may decrease the financial burden on Trinity Biotech, potentially improving net income margins over time. However, the issuance of new warrants and the repricing of existing ones could lead to further dilution, which investors should monitor closely.
The expected tripling of annual rapid HIV test manufacturing volumes in 2024, due to additional orders from Kenya, is a strong indicator of revenue growth potential. Yet, the success of this scale-up hinges on the company's ability to optimize manufacturing processes and reduce costs, which is not without its risks. The shift in manufacturing location to improve margins, EBITDA and cash flow generation is an ambitious plan that could significantly enhance profitability if executed effectively.
Trinity Biotech's strategic focus on optimizing its Diabetes HbA1c testing business by improving cost structures and launching an improved column system indicates a proactive approach to maintaining competitiveness in the Diabetes care market. The projected $4 million in annualized recurring cost savings from these initiatives could enhance the company's financial performance. The emphasis on in-house manufacturing and supply chain optimization suggests a leaner operation, which could potentially increase Trinity Biotech's appeal to cost-conscious healthcare providers and patients.
However, the preliminary unaudited trading update for Q4 2023, which suggests revenues broadly in line with Q3 and a consistent gross margin percentage, may be a concern for investors looking for signs of growth. The decrease in revenues from the Haemoglobins business and the irregular ordering patterns in the HIV business underscore the volatility and challenges in the healthcare diagnostics market. Investors should consider the potential impact of these factors on future revenue stability and growth trajectories.
The transition from CFO to CEO for John Gillard and the subsequent promotion of Des Fitzgerald to Interim CFO could signal a strategic shift in company leadership, focusing on financial acumen to drive growth and profitability. The emphasis on actionable health and wellness insights through the new biosensor technology acquisition suggests that Trinity Biotech is positioning itself at the intersection of technology and healthcare, a burgeoning area with significant potential for innovation and market expansion.
The partnership with Bayer to launch a CGM biosensor device in China and India is particularly noteworthy. These markets have a high prevalence of diabetes and a growing middle class, which could lead to increased demand for affordable and accessible diabetes monitoring solutions. The joint venture's success will depend on the ability to navigate regulatory environments, manage production costs and effectively market the product to a diverse consumer base.
-Investor call to be held today at 8:30 am EST
DUBLIN, Ireland, Jan. 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trinity Biotech plc (Nasdaq: TRIB) today announced the Company’s results for the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Business Updates and Strategic Priorities
In December 2023, the Company announced the promotion of John Gillard from CFO to CEO and the promotion of Des Fitzgerald to the role of Interim CFO. The new management team has now put in place a clear set of strategies and priorities as set out below.
Biosensor technology acquisition
- The Company has today announced the acquisition of the biosensor assets of Waveform Technologies Inc. (“Waveform”) for
$12.5 million in cash and 9 million American Depositary Shares (“ADS”) plus contingent consideration. - Driven by this transaction, the Company intends to use its newly acquired biosensor platform to build a range of wearable biosensors together with an analytical engine that can deliver useful and actionable health & wellness insights based upon what is happening in, on and around the body.
- We will begin that journey by launching a next generation Continuous Glucose Monitoring (“CGM”) device with an “engineered in” lower cost of care when compared with the current main CGM market participants.
- We believe that this can be a business of true scale and significant profitability. Further details of this transaction and our plans can be found here.
- The Company also today announced it has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent with Bayer for a joint partnership to launch a CGM biosensor device into China and India – further details can be found here.
Revenue growth and cash generation from our rapid HIV business
- We are working to scale and optimise our rapid HIV testing manufacturing capacity in light of the successful launch of our TrinScreen HIV product in Kenya.
- As previously announced, in December 2023 we began shipments of our HIV screening test, TrinScreen, to Kenya as part of the receipt of an initial purchase order for 2.5 million tests. We expect to receive additional orders throughout FY2024 for Kenya, as the Kenyan Ministry of Health has received commitments from all relevant sponsors (including Global Fund and USAID) to fund the procurement from the Company of at least 10 million rapid screening HIV tests required by Kenya for 2024.
- The additional volumes arising from these orders is expected to at least triple our annual rapid HIV test manufacturing volumes in 2024 compared to 2023. These additional volumes should commercially facilitate us changing the location of certain aspects of our manufacturing process of our rapid HIV products Uni-Gold and TrinScreen. We expect significant margin, EBITDA and cash flow generation accretion benefits from this manufacturing location change, which we plan to have in place by the end of 2024.
Optimization of our Diabetes business to help meet growth and profitability goals
- We aim to significantly improve the cost structure of our existing Diabetes HbA1c testing business, which we expect will improve the profitability, cash generation and ultimately the value of that business.
- These initiatives should facilitate a lower price point solution into the Diabetes HbA1c testing market which we expect will deliver renewed growth from our Premier 9210 system, which continues to be widely regarded as the gold standard for interference-free Diabetes HbA1c testing globally. As a management team, we are focused on the execution of the following initiatives, which we believe will allow us to successfully meet our growth and profitability goals for our Diabetes HbA1c business:
- In-house manufacturing process: Our revised in-house manufacturing process of our key Diabetes HbA1c consumable began in Q4 2023 as planned, and we expect to end external production by the end of Q1 2024.
- Launch of the Improved Column System: Our programme to develop an improved, backward compatible column system is expected to be completed in the coming weeks with a subsequent commercial launch in Q2, 2024.
- Supply Chain Optimisation: We continue to optimise our supply chain for our Diabetes HbA1c testing instrument. In Q4 2023 and so far in Q1 2024 we have secured additional savings and we remain on target to deliver a lower cost of instrument which supports our strategy of driving renewed growth by increasing the competitive positioning of our product.
- We remain on track to deliver approximately
$4m of annualised recurring cost savings from these initiatives, based on expected production volumes, and we believe that these changes will allow us to deliver an increasingly cost competitive Diabetes HbA1c solution, putting us in a stronger position to grow market share over time. - We also continue to critically examine other aspects of the manufacturing structure of our overall Haemoglobins business with a view to further reducing the cost of operations.
Optimise the value of our other businesses
- We are seeking ways to identify the most value accretive use for our other smaller businesses. We have engaged external consultants to support our examination of the optimal path to value accretion for these businesses, with each business being examined across the following criteria:
- Its ability to scale in a meaningful manner.
- Is there existing intellectual property or can we create new intellectual property that creates true points of differentiation to drive meaningful operating margin and cash generation.
- The identification of alternative uses for the assets and capabilities of each business.
- These reviews remain ongoing, and we will update shareholders in due course as we solidify plans for these businesses.
Overall focus on improved profitability and revenue growth
- Overlaying each of our business segments is a key focus on profitability through optimizing our revenue and cost cycles.
- In late Q4, 2023 we notified a large number of customers of pending price increases where contractual and commercial conditions allowed, reflecting significant input cost increases we incurred in 2023. We expect this to deliver margin accretion in late Q1, 2024 for some of our business lines.
- We also continue to be focused on reducing ongoing costs. In addition to the previously communicated headcount reductions, management executed on additional headcount reductions in early 2024 in senior management and back-office functions, as we continue to simplify and optimise our operations. Although financial benefits of our headcount reductions started to be realised in Q3, 2023, the full financial impact of these is expected to be seen in the first half of 2024, with an annualised cashflow saving of over
$4m expected, excluding the incremental hiring for Trinscreen HIV and our new wearable biosensor business.
Amended Credit Agreement
- Today the Company also announced it has entered into an amended credit agreement with its existing main lender, Perceptive Advisors (“Perceptive”) (the “Amended Term Loan”).
- Under the Amended Term Loan, an additional
$22 million of funding has been made available to the Company, with$12.5 million being used to acquire the Waveform assets. The remaining$9.5 million is available for general corporate purposes including for the further development of the CGM and biosensor technologies. In addition, the Amended Term Loan provides for additional liquidity of up to$6.5 million , that may be drawn down by the Company between April and December, 2024, and can be used for general corporate purposes, thereby providing further liquidity to fund the development of the CGM and biosensor technologies. - The Amended Term Loan immediately reduces the annual rate of interest on the loan by
2.5% to8.75% (the “Base Rate”) plus the greater of (a) Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or (b)4.0% per annum and allows for a further2.5% reduction in the Base Rate to6.25% once the outstanding principal under the Amended Term Loan falls below$35 million . Additionally, the Amended Term Loan halves the early prepayment penalty from8% to4.0% and7% to3.5% , dependent on timing of prepayment. Furthermore, the Amended Term loan significantly reduces the Company’s revenue covenants which will enable the new management team to place increased focus on customer and product profitability, in line with its renewed focus on profitability. The Amended Term Loan matures in January 2026. - In connection with the Amended Term Loan, Perceptive will receive new warrants to purchase an additional 2.5 million ADSs and the Company has agreed to price these additional warrants and reprice the existing warrants to purchase 2.5 million ADSs that were issued to Perceptive under the original term loan, with an exercise price of
$0.44 per ADS.
Q4 2023 Preliminary Unaudited Trading Update
- We expect Q4, 2023 revenue to be between
$13 million and$14 million with Gross Margin percentage expected to be broadly in line with the reported Gross Margin percentage for Q3, 2023. - We expect that Q4, 2023 revenues will be broadly in line with Q3, 2023 in the majority of our product lines, with expected reductions in our Haemoglobins and HIV businesses:
- Reported revenues from our Haemoglobins business are expected to be lower than Q3, 2023 as year-end shipments of products at sub-optimal pricing were deferred as we renegotiate contract terms with a key customer in line with the new management team’s focus on profitability.
- In our HIV business, shipments of Uni-Gold are expected to be lower than Q3, 2023 due to the typical irregular quarter on quarter ordering patterns in that business.

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, excess inventory obsolescence charges, depreciation, amortization and impairment charges.
EBITDA for continuing operations and 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, provides useful information to investors to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends. EBITDA for continuing operations and 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. EBITDA for continuing operations and 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 profit/(loss) and EBITDA for continuing operations and EBITDASO for continuing operations are presented.
