What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- Strengthened balance sheet: IPO proceeds left year-end cash at $70.5M, reducing financing risk for the pivotal trial ramp .
- Clinical and regulatory momentum: 86 DurAVR implants to date; IDE submission targeted for 1Q25; first two EU-EFS cases in January 2025 with positive initial outcomes .
- Scale-up and optimization: Finalized design optimization of ComASUR delivery system and expanded manufacturing capacity in Malaga and Minneapolis to support pivotal trial readiness .
Quote: “This has been a transformational year for Anteris as we made advancements across all aspects of our business, which positions us well to commence the Pivotal Trial of our DurAVR THV system in 2025.” — Wayne Paterson, CEO .
What Went Wrong
- Widening losses: FY24 net loss after tax increased to $76.0M from $46.8M (+62% YoY) as R&D and SG&A rose with U.S. re-domiciliation and IPO activities .
- Going concern emphasis: Auditor’s opinion noted substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern absent successful execution of financing and operational plans .
- Tissue product headwind: Manufacturing for LeMaitre ceased in January 2025, implying the small legacy net sales stream ($2.7M in 2024) will wind down, increasing reliance on financing and clinical milestones .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Funding runway improved: Post-IPO cash of $70.5M at year-end and termination of prior bridge facility reduce financing overhang into pivotal trial preparations .
- Clear 2025 catalyst path: IDE submission planned for 1Q25 and EU-EFS already underway; pivotal trial design outlines head-to-head positioning vs incumbents across up to 80 sites and 1,000–1,200 patients .
- Transitioning away from legacy sales: Cessation of LeMaitre manufacturing in Jan 2025 likely eliminates the small tissue product revenue stream, increasing reliance on successful clinical/regulatory progress .
- Expense intensity continues: Loss widened materially in FY24 as R&D and SG&A scaled for U.S. listing and pivotal trial readiness; auditor’s going-concern emphasis underscores the importance of timely execution and capital discipline .
- Cross-document nuance on proceeds: Net IPO proceeds reported as $79.6M in March vs $80.0M in December suggests finalization effects; monitor subsequent filings for definitive figure .
- Stock setup: With no near-term revenue drivers and no financial guidance, shares are likely to trade on regulatory milestones, clinical datapoints, and trial start updates (IDE filing, site activation, enrollment cadence) as primary catalysts .
