Investor update summary
28 Oct, 2026Leadership transition
Brent MacGregor stepped down as CEO effective immediately after six years; he will remain available in an advisory capacity until mid-November for handover.
Former CFO Anita James, with more than four years in that role, was appointed Interim CEO; she will be considered alongside external candidates in the permanent CEO search.
The board described the transition as orderly, with most handover complete and the remaining handover expected in the coming weeks.
Performance and outlook
FY 2026 results showed a return to profitability and a balance sheet described as being in good shape, following a multi-year rebuild and stabilization.
Penthrox end-market demand in Europe grew 37% in FY 2026; partner stocking included expected demand following the pediatric label and a supply-chain transition in France.
FY 2027 is expected to have a clearer alignment between in-market demand and sales volumes, while the prior-year inventory build creates a tough YoY comparison.
The FY 2026 inventory-stocking headwind being cycled in FY 2027 was estimated at ~AUD 2 million.
Penthrox strategy and growth
Priorities include growing existing Australian and international business, expanding Penthrox in Europe and larger markets, exploring other international partnerships, and improving operational efficiency and cost management.
The pediatric label and health-economic evidence of emergency-department cost savings are intended to support access and partner growth; the broader label may also help address ambulance adoption barriers, including in the U.K.
Labatec was appointed as partner for the Middle East and North Africa business; it also manages Penthrox in Switzerland.
Ambulance adoption can take time due to institutional protocols, while emergency departments and procedural uses may offer greater opportunities in some markets.
