Melbourne, Australia; 31 October 2025: Specialty topical pharmaceuticals company Acrux Limited
(ASX:ACR, “Acrux” or the “Company”) is pleased to present its quarterly cashflow for the three
months ended 30 September 2025, along with this accompanying business update.
Key Activities:
It is encouraging to see Licensee revenues received during the September quarter increasing to
$863k, which is higher than both the $0.353 million which was received for the prior quarter and
receipts for FY25 which totalled $521k. This increase was primarily from profit share income growth:
o Nitroglycerin 0.4%, Ointment’s June quarter profit share was received in the September
quarter, reflecting significant volume increases achieved in this product’s second full
quarter of sales following its launch in December 2024. More than ‘fair share’ market
share has been achieved for this product.
o Sales of Dapsone 7.5%, Gel and Dapsone 5%, Gel are increasing on a month to month
basis and our licensee for these products has recently won several major accounts,
which is expected to increase revenues for both of these products through FY26.
o Profit share receipts in the September quarter totalled $714k and a further $149k was
received from Padagis for technical work performed by Acrux to support the ongoing
registration of Prilocaine 2.5% and Lidocaine 2.5%, Cream.
As profit share income is contractually receivable from our licensees 45 days after the end of the
relevant quarter, funds received in the September Quarter reflect our licensees’ sales from the June
quarter. Profit share income from their September quarter sales is due for receipt in November.
These products launched in FY25 and together with the other revenue generating products from our
portfolio of topical generics (i.e., Prilocaine 2.5% and Lidocaine 2.5%, Cream and Evamist®
) are
expected to support material increases in Acrux’s product-based licensee revenues in FY26.
In September Acrux received $3.04 million from the ATO for FY25 RDTI rebates, which supported
repayment in full of the short term advances received from Radium Capital ($2.24 million).
Acrux’s CEO, John Warmbrunn, said:
“Product launches in FY2025 are now delivering solid growth, with the September quarterly
profit share income exceeding the total received during the previous financial year.
Nitroglycerine 0.4%, Ointment continues to achieve market penetration above ‘fair share’.
Dapsone 5% Gel volumes are demonstrating consistent quarterly growth. Dapsone 7.5% Gel
is a differentiated Generic product, as it comes in a tube format (compared to the bottle format
of competitors’ products). Achieving commercial distribution in the US has taken longer than
anticipated, however the advantages of the tube format are expected to drive higher long-term
returns. Lidocaine and Prilocaine Cream, USP 2.5%/2.5% is maintaining a significant market
share.
The growth in Acrux’s commercialised portfolio of generic products confirms Acrux’s strong
competencies in developing, registering, manufacturing, and marketing FDA-approved
products in the USA. We are now looking for opportunities to commercialise our existing
products in other international markets that offer a commercial return on investment and which
provide incremental growth opportunities in the overall value of each of our products.
We continue to rigorously evaluate our R&D pipeline of both topical Generic drugs for the USA
and other strategic options. We are carefully considering the best applications for the income
stream that our commercialised, topical Generic portfolio is generating.
Appendix 4C
For the September Quarter Acrux reports Net Cash from Operating Activities of $1.652 million and
Cash and Cash Equivalents of $0.722 million
The major components of Net cash received from operating activities comprised:
• $0.863 million Receipts from customers
• $3.040 million RDTI received
offset by expenditure of
• $0.393 million external Research and Development expenditure and
• $1.348 million staff costs, somewhat higher than usual due to final payment of accrued annual
and long service leave to the former CEO
• $0.339 million administration and corporate costs
• And $0.173 million interest expense, predominantly comprised interest on the short term
RDTI advance.
Within Financing activities, $0.456 million was received from Radium in July under the short term
RDTI advance facility for eligible R&D expenditure for the period to the end of May 2025. In
September all advances from Radium for FY25 RDTI were repaid, $2.242 million.
Staff costs reflect all employment related expenses for the Company’s employees and Non-executive
Directors. Cash payments and superannuation related to the remuneration of Non-executive
Directors are additionally disclosed as a Related Party payment at Item 6.
