Trading update
Physiomics plc (AIM: PYC), the oncology consultancy using mathematical models to support the development of cancer treatment regimens and personalised medicine solutions, would like to update the market on current trading.
Due to unforeseen delays in data delivery to Physiomics for contracted projects and the signing of a project with a potential new client, the Company's total income for the financial year ending 30 June 2023 is likely to be more than 10% lower than the £750k stated in its previous guidance announced on 4 April 2023. The Board now expects that total income for this period will be approximately £660k. The delayed contracted projects are still expected to completed in and contribute to our income for the next financial year ending 30 June 2024. The Board also expect the potential new client project to be signed this calendar year, although this cannot be guaranteed.
Executive Chairman & CEO, Dr Jim Millen, commented:
"Despite a significant and unanticipated reduction in demand from one large client this financial year, the progress we've made in diversifying our portfolio of clients has partially offset the effects. There remains a strong interest in modelling and simulation services driven by the expectations of regulators and I believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of interest generated by recent activities, such as our Project Optimus webinar and podium presentation at AACR which could add significant value from FY24 onwards."
