REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
A review of the operations of the Group during the half-year and the results of these operations are as follows:
Principal Activities
Acrux is a specialty pharmaceutical company with a successful track record of developing, registering and
commercialising a portfolio of topically applied generic pharmaceutical products with a primary focus on the
US market.
There has been no significant change in the nature of these activities during the reporting period.
Key Events During Half Year
Acrux is making good progress towards its objective of expanding the number of currently marketed products in
order to achieve self sustaining operating revenue.
In the past 6 months, the United States Food and Drug Administration (‘FDA’) approved 2 ANDA submissions
by Acrux, being applications for the registration of a generic version of an existing licensed medication. Dapsone
7.5%, Gel was announced as approved on 27 August 2024 and this was followed by Nitroglycerin 0.4%,
Ointment (announced 4 December 2024). Future revenues from the commercialisation of these products are
expected to underpin the acceleration of revenue growth. Our distribution partner commenced commercial
launch activities with customers for Nitroglycerin 0.4%, Ointment in December (announced 13 December 2024)
and the launch of Dapsone 7.5%, Gel is planned for FY25.
Dapsone 5%, Gel was launched in a 60mg pack (announced 3 April 2024) and the 90mg presentation was
introduced in December to make this product more attractive to wholesalers and to support an increase in our
future market share. Sales of Prilocaine 2.5% and Lidocaine 2.5%, Cream, launched in December 2022, are
rebuilding with our partner achieving improved market position in a market with just 2 marketed competitors,
down from 5 who were active at the time this product was launched. Evamist® continues to generate modest
quarterly revenues.
Of the 6 products which are approved to be marketed in the US, 4 are currently marketed and generating royalty
and profit share income and another is planned for launch in the current financial year. Opportunities for these
US registered products in other countries are being explored and pursued.

ACRUX LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES
(ABN: 72 082 001 152)
The Research and Development Tax Incentive Rebate (‘RDTI’) for FY24 totalling $2.728 million was received
in October and at this time all associated short term borrowings were repaid in full. In December 2024, a further
$0.247 million was received in relation to FY24 following receipt of another favourable Overseas Finding which
makes some overseas expenditure on a development project eligible for inclusion in our RDTI claim for FY24
and future years.
Capital Raising
A capital raising program was launched in December, raising a total of $4.0 million before costs. Through a
Placement to sophisticated and professional investors $2.5 million, before costs, was raised with a further $0.15
million committed by Directors and the issuance of these shares and options was approved by shareholders at
the Extraordinary General Meeting (‘EGM’) held on 3 February 2025. Existing shareholders were invited to
participate in the Share Purchase Plan (‘SPP’), under the same financial terms as the Placement, raising a
further $1.34 million, before costs.
As outlined in the Options Prospectus dated 17 January 2025 and ratified at the EGM, all subscribers to the
Placement and SPP were offered one Attaching Option for each new share issued. These new options are to
be listed on the ASX and may be exercised by holders over the next 24 months at 5.25 cents. Along with the
options granted to the joint Lead Managers, should these options be fully exercised a further $8.9 million new
capital may be raised over the 24 month period to exercise options.
Business Strategy
Acrux’s key business strategy is to progress and expand its pipeline of topically applied generic
pharmaceutical products in order to create a diversified portfolio of products which is capable of generating
a consistent stream of regulatory submissions, product approvals, market launches and ultimately a self
sustaining revenue stream.
Acrux currently has 4 marketed products in the US:
• Prilocaine 2.5% and Lidocaine 2.5%, Cream, is a topically applied anaesthetic. Currently there are
2 approved and marketed ANDA competitors for this product and IQVIA reports the addressable
market for the 12 months to December 2024 is USD20.89 million
• Evamist®, is an Estradiol Spray which is used to treat symptoms of menopause
• Dapsone 5%, Gel, is a treatment for acne vulgaris and was launched at the end of FY24. There are
8 active competitors for this product and IQVIA reports the addressable market for the 12 months to
December 2024 at USD13.93 million
• Nitroglycerin 0.4%, Ointment, treats moderate to severe pain caused by chronic anal fissure and
was launched by our partner at the end of 2024.There are currently 2 active competitors for this
product and IQVIA reports the addressable market for the 12 months to December 2024 is
USD23.80 million
Furthermore Dapsone 7.5%, Gel, is FDA approved and is planned for launch in FY25. Dapsone 7.5%, Gel
treats acne vulgaris in patients 9 years of age and older and there are currently 9 active competitors for this
product. IQVIA reports the addressable market for the 12 months to December 2024 is USD43.89 million.
Including these revenue generating products, Acrux currently has 16 products in its portfolio which are at
various stages of development ranging from:
•
formulation and process development
•
demonstration of bioequivalence with the brand name product
•
submission of the dossier to the regulator for review
•
regulatory approval and
•
approved and commercialised.

Operating Results
The consolidated loss after tax for the 6 months to December 2024 was $3.425 million (2023 prior
corresponding period loss: $3.239 million) and this reflects both commercial revenue and the timing of
project expenses incurred in progressing the Group's generic development pipeline towards
commercialisation.

Reported Product licensing income for the half year ended 31 December 2024 reflects partner sales of
Evamist®, Dapsone, 5% Gel, Nitroglycerine 0.4%, Ointment, and Prilocaine 2.5% and Lidocaine 2.5%,
Cream and will be supplemented in the second half by the launch of Dapsone 7.5%, Gel and the range
extension of Dapsone 5%, Gel.
In previous reporting periods the Group has reported revenue in relation to the procurement and on sale
of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (‘API’) used in the commercial manufacture of Prilocaine 2.5% and
Lidocaine 2.5%, Cream to our commercial partner. Acrux is no longer responsible for this procurement
and accordingly this revenue and the associated Cost of Goods Sold has ceased.
In October, Acrux reported receipt of $2.728 million RDTI in relation to the year ended 30 June 2024 and
a further $0.247 million was received in December following acceptance of a new Overseas Finding which
expanded the Company’s current and future eligible expenditure to include some overseas expenses for a
new development project. $1.565 million RDTI Income has been reported for the period ended 31
December 2024. Of this balance, $1.318 million is an estimate of the amount which is receivable for the
reporting period ending 31 December 2024, based on eligible project development expenditure incurred
and $0.247 million was received in the current period but relating to FY24.
Cost of Goods Sold
As noted in the Revenue section above, Acrux is no longer responsible for the procurement of materials
used in the commercial manufacture of Prilocaine 2.5% and Lidocaine 2.5%, Cream. Accordingly, the
reduction of Sales Revenue relative to the prior corresponding period is fully offset by a reduction in Cost
of Goods Sold.
Operating Expenses
At $5.292 million Total Operating Expenses were $0.582 million higher than the prior corresponding period.
This increase is principally attributable to the timing of external research and development project expenses
(+$0.173 million), the costs of which vary throughout the product development cycle depending on the
stage of development of the project, +$0.07 million interest accrued in relation to the short term RDTI
Funding and +$0.248 million relating to CPI based salary increases and increased provisions due to a
higher than usual number of staff members qualifying for Long Service Leave

After balance date events
On 3 February 2025 an EGM was conducted in relation the capital raising commenced in December and
all resolutions were supported by shareholders. Full details of the EGM resolutions are contained in the
Notice of Meeting which was circulated to shareholders and announced to the ASX on 3 January 2024,
and included:
• approval to issue 163,957,905 Placement, SPP and Lead Manager Options, exercisable on or
before 19 February 2027 at 5.25 cents, subject to acceptance of the Options Offer;
• Approval for Directors to participate in the Placement on the same terms and conditions as other
Placement participants and to contribute a total of $0.15 million, of which 3,714,284 ordinary shares
were issued on 13 February 2025; and
• Ratification of the prior issue of Placement shares.
Following receipt of valid acceptances of the Options Offer by the due date, 151,642,766 Options were
issued on 19 February 2025. The due date for outstanding acceptances has been extended to 31 March
2025 and it is planned that the remaining approved Options will be issued at that time.
On 7 February 2025 it was announced that Michael Kotsanis is planning to retire from his role as CEO and
Managing Director. To ensure an orderly transition, Michael will continue his responsibilities until a
successor has been appointed.
No further matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2024 that has significantly affected, or
may significantly affect, the Group’s operations, results or state of affairs, or may do so in future periods.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
General information
Statement of compliance
This half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the
Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures
compliance with International Financial Reporting Accounting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The half-year financial report does not include notes of the type normally included in an annual financial
report and should be read in conjunction with the most recent annual financial report.
Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated financial statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2024 have been
prepared on the basis of historical cost. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in
exchange for assets.
All amounts are presented in Australian dollars unless otherwise noted.
The Group is a group of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports)
Instrument 2016/191, dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Corporations Instrument, amounts
in the half-year financial report are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial
report are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group’s Annual Report for the financial year
ended 30 June 2024. The accounting policies are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards and with
International Financial Reporting Standards.
The Group has applied all new and revised Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that are
applicable to reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2024. Application of new and revised Australian
Accounting Standards did not materially impact on this half year financial report.
Going concern basis of preparation
This financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis contemplating continuity of normal business
activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
Following successful execution of the Placement and SPP elements of capital raising during December 2024
which raised $3.838 million, before costs and Directors’ Placement commitments, the Group reports total Cash
and cash equivalents of $3.325 million being an increase of $0.380 million over 30 June 2024.
The Group incurred a loss after tax from ordinary activities of $3.425 million for the half-year ended 31 December
2024 (31 December 2023: $3.239 million) and as at balance date held Total current assets of $4,887 million (30
June 2024: $5,981 million).
The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on the generation of future revenues sufficient
to support progression of the development pipeline and other operating activities. Operating and financing
revenues are expected to grow in future reporting periods following the recent launches of Dapsone 5%, Gel and
Nitroglygerin 0.4%, Ointment and the planned launch of Dapsone 7.5%, Gel for early in 2025 which will bring the
number of Acrux’s currently marketed and revenue generating products to 5.
12
ACRUX LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES (ABN: 72 082 001 152)
Further cash is to be received in FY25 in relation to Share Placement funds committed by Directors ($0.15 million).
Additionally over the period until 19 February 2027, the exercising of the Attaching Options at 5.25 cents per Option
has the potential to generate $8.9 million new capital over 24 months.
These sources of funds are expected to support cashflows from operating activities in the future and enable the
Group to continue operating as a going concern.
The Directors believe the Group can meet its financial obligations as an when they fall due based on cashflow
projections which have been prepared for a period of twelve months beyond the date of approval of these financial
statements and which incorporate the following key assumptions:
• Revenue growth of FDA approved products currently on market or planned for launch;
• Continuing eligibility of product development expenditure for RDTI rebate; and
• The ability to execute other financial and funding transactions as and if required.
Directors closely monitor revenue and expenditure against projections and should cash inflows be materially lower
than forecasted cash management strategies which could be implemented include:
• Deferral of project development activities and associated expenditure;
• Management of operating and capital expenses;
• Monetisation of other assets or revenue streams; and
• Execution of other financial and funding transactions.
On this basis this financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis and no adjustments have been
made relating to the recoverability and classification of the carrying amount of assets or the amount and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.
Should the Group not achieve the assumptions detailed above and other initiatives were not implemented there
would be a material uncertainty which would cast significant doubt as to whether the Group may be able to meet
its debts as and when they fall due, and therefore continue as a going concern. In that circumstance the Group
may be required to realise assets and extinguish liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business and at
amounts which differ to those stated in the financial statements.
