Leading health imaging company Pro Medicus Limited [ASX: PME] today announced a halfyear net profit of $20.68 million for the six months to the end of December 2021, 52.7% higher
than for the previous corresponding period.
Revenue from ordinary activities increased by 40.3% to $44.33 million.
The company's cash reserves at 31 December 2021 were $76.17 million, up $14.91 million.
Pro Medicus announced a final fully franked interim dividend of 10c per share. The company
remains debt-free.
During the six months Pro Medicus announced the following key contract wins:
▪ Novant Health (A$40 million, 7-year contract), a community-based integrated delivery
network that spans three US states.
▪ Contract renewal with Allegheny Health (A$12 million, 5-year), a health network in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
▪ Further extension of German government hospital to a fourth site.
The company continued to make significant progress with all key implementations being on or
ahead of schedule, including Intermountain and UCSF.
Pro Medicus CEO Dr Sam Hupert said the result represented the strongest half-year revenue
and profit results in Pro Medicus’ history, powered by contract wins and renewals in the US
and an extension of a European contract to cover new regions.
“We thought it was a good result with all our key financial indicators heading in the right
direction, not just revenue growth but also profit growth, margin expansion and retained
earnings,” he said. “There were two key drivers behind the result. Firstly, the jump in

transaction revenue from our US contracts, as several large implementations came on-stream
towards the second half of FY21, such as Northwestern, NYU and Medstar. Secondly, the
extension of the German government contract to a fourth hospital. Renewals of contracts
should also not be underestimated; they are like a whole new contract.”
Dr Hupert said the company recorded growth in revenue in all key jurisdictions: USA, Europe
and Australia. “Our pipeline remains strong with a good spread of opportunities in different
markets. Many are Cloud-based – a trend gathering significant momentum – and many are
interested in more than one of our Visage solutions.”
Dr Hupert said the company’s operations had not been unduly affected by Covid-19.
“Exam volumes in North America were strong, and in many cases greater than pre-Covid
levels. The only region that was marginally affected was Australia, where the majority of our
revenue is not exam-based. In terms of sales capability and implementations these were not
impacted. During the half we did a mix of remote, onsite and hybrid remote/onsite
implementations.”
“Our pipeline remains strong with very healthy representations across academic, nonacademic/IDN, corporate and private market opportunities. Many are for more than one of our
products and increasingly we are seeing opportunities that have Cloud-first policy which
favours us as we believe we are the only company to have a proven, fully Cloud-native
offering that operates at scale.”
** Pro Medicus Ltd will host a webcast conference call on Wednesday 16 February at 11am
(AEDT) to discuss the results.

i hold PME ( 'free-carried' ) ( bought at 16.5 cents )
i guess if i regret selling down a winner ( sold down 95% of the original purchase ) this will be the one
but golly gee who would have picked this in 2011 to even break $10
looks like a div of more than 100% this year for me ( on my investment )
but is it really a $50 share ??
crazy times
