1 Corporate information
Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (Telix or the Company) is a for profit company incorporated and domiciled in Australia. It is limited by shares that are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: TLX). These consolidated financial statements comprise the results of Telix and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group). The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 22 February 2024.
2 Summary of significant accounting policies
The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these financial statements are summarised below.
2.1 Going concern
For the year ended 31 December 2023, the Group generated a profit of $5,211,000 (2022: loss of $104,079,000) and cash generated from operating activities of $23,884,000 (2022: cash used in operating activities of $63,970,000). As at 31 December 2023 the net assets of the Group were $148,911,000 (2022: $80,007,000), with cash on hand of $123,237,000 (2022: $116,329,000).
Cash on hand and future cash inflows from commercial activities is considered sufficient to meet the Group’s forecast cash outflows in relation to research and development activities currently underway and other committed business activities for at least 12 months from the date of these financial statements.
On this basis, the Directors are satisfied that the Group continues to be a going concern as at the date of these financial statements. Further, the Directors are of the opinion that no asset is likely to be realised for an amount less than the amount at which it is recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023.
As such, no adjustment has been made to the financial statements relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.
2.2 Basis of preparation
Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS). The financial statements also comply with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments, which have been measured at fair value.
a Comparatives and rounding
Where necessary, comparative information has been re-classified to achieve consistency in disclosure with current financial amounts and other disclosures. The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Legislative Instrument 2016/191, relating to the ‘rounding off’ of amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been rounded off in accordance with the instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in some cases the nearest dollar.
b New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The Group has adopted all relevant new and amended standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board which are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on 1 January 2023. The new standards and amendments did not have any impact on the amounts recognised in the current and prior periods.
c New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2023 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future reporting periods or on foreseeable future transactions.
2.3 Significant changes in the current reporting period
The Group updated the classification of expenses to make the consolidated statement of comprehensive income more relevant to users of the financial statements, particularly as the Group has moved to commercial operations. This has resulted in the reclassification of some expenses for the year ended 31 December 2022, however has not impacted the reported loss for the year or earnings per share.
From 2023, the Group has determined that a functional presentation of its consolidated statement of comprehensive income or loss is most appropriate. In accordance with IAS 1/AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, within a functional consolidated statement of comprehensive income or loss, costs directly associated with generating revenues are included in cost of sales. Cost of sales includes direct material and labour costs, distribution fees incurred to ensure delivery of the product to the end customer and indirect costs that are directly attributed to generating revenue, such as amortisation of intangible assets associated with commercialised products.
2.4 Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. If the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the former subsidiary from the consolidated statement of financial position and recognises the gain or loss associated with the loss of control attributable to the former controlling interest.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
2.5 Foreign currency translation
a Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars.
b Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income or loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income or loss on a net basis within other income or other expenses.
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.
c Group companies
The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
assets and liabilities for each consolidated statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that consolidated statement of financial position
income and expenses for each consolidated statement of comprehensive income or loss are translated at actual exchange rates at the dates of the transactions, and
all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.
2.6 Business combinations
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the:
fair values of the assets transferred
liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business
equity interests issued by the Group
fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, and
fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. The excess of the consideration transferred, amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The post-tax discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
The acquisition date carrying value of the Group's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss. If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see below), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date. The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the date the Group obtains complete information about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and is subject to a maximum of one year.
2.7 Current and non-current classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is current when it is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Group’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when it is expected to be settled in the Group’s normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current. For instances where a liability is based on sales volumes, the payment expected to be realised within 12 months is current based on the underlying estimate of the timing of sales.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current.
2.8 Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position.
2.9 Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables and other receivables are all classified as financial assets held at amortised cost. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing components when they are recognised at fair value.
a Impairment of trade and other receivables
The collectability of trade and other receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Individual debts which are known to be uncollectible are written off when identified. The Group recognises an impairment provision based upon anticipated lifetime losses of trade receivables. The anticipated losses are determined with reference to historical loss experience (when it is available) and are regularly reviewed and updated. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance. See note 30.4 for further information about the Group’s accounting for trade receivables and description of the Group’s impairment policies.
2.10 Inventories
Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods
Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Cost includes the reclassification from equity of any gains or losses on qualifying cash flow hedges relating to purchases of raw material but excludes borrowing costs. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
2.11 Property, plant and equipment
All property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Cost may also include transfer from equity of any gains or losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost, net of the residual values, over the estimated useful lives. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
The useful lives of assets are as follows:
Buildings: 18 years
Plant and equipment: 3-5 years
Furniture, fittings and equipment: 3-5 years
Leased plant and equipment: 3-5 years
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss. When revalued assets are sold, it is Group policy to transfer any amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to accumulated losses.
2.12 Lease liabilities
Liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable
variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date
amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees
the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising that option.
Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability.
Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
2.13 Right-of-use assets
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability
any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received
any initial direct costs, and
restoration costs.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life.
2.14 Non-current financial assets
Non-current financial assets held for long-term strategic purposes are classified within non-current assets on the consolidated statement of financial position. The financial impacts related to these financial assets are recorded in other comprehensive income.
Non-current financial assets are initially recorded at fair value on their trade date, which is different from the settlement date when the transaction is ultimately effected. Quoted securities are remeasured at each reporting date to fair value based on current market prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active or no market is available, fair values are established using valuation techniques.
Equity securities held as strategic investments are generally designated at the date of acquisition as financial assets valued at fair value through other comprehensive income with no subsequent recycling through profit or loss. Unrealised gains and losses, including exchange gains and losses, are recorded as a fair value adjustment in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. They are reclassified to retained earnings when the equity security is sold.
2.15 Intangible assets
a Goodwill
Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised, but is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired and is carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or group of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.
b Patents, trademarks, licenses and customer contracts
Separately acquired trademarks and licenses are shown at historical cost. Trademarks, licenses and customer contracts acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. They have a finite useful life and are subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. The useful life of these intangibles assets is 5 to 20 years.
c Intellectual property
Intellectual property arising from business combinations is recognised at fair value when separately identifiable from goodwill. Intellectual property is recorded as an indefinite life asset when it is not yet ready for use. At the point the asset is ready for use, the useful life is reassessed as a definite life asset and amortised over a period of 5 to 20 years. Amortisation and impairment charges related to currently marketed products are recognised in cost of goods sold.
Assets not available for use are tested annually for impairment. Assets are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses and/or accumulated amortisation. An impairment trigger assessment is performed annually for assets available for use.
d Research and development
Research expenditure on internal projects is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects (relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will, after considering its commercial and technical feasibility, be completed and generate future economic benefits and its costs can be measured reliably. The expenditure that could be recognised comprises all directly attributable costs, including costs of materials, services, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. As the Group has not met the requirement under the standard to recognise costs in relation to development as intangible assets, these amounts have been expensed within the financial statements.
2.16 Impairment of assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or Groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
2.17 Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the reporting date which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.18 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
a Decommissioning liability
The Group has recognised a provision for its obligation to decommission its radiopharmaceutical production facility at the end of its operating life. At the end of a facility’s life, costs are incurred in safely removing certain assets involved in the production of radioactive isotopes. The Group recognises the full discounted cost of decommissioning as an asset and liability when the obligation to restore sites arises. The decommissioning asset is included within property, plant and equipment with the cost of the related installation. The liability is included within provisions. Revisions to the estimated costs of decommissioning which alter the level of the provisions required are also reflected in adjustments to the decommissioning asset. The amortisation of the asset is included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income or loss and the unwinding of discount of the provision is included within finance costs. Further detail has been provided in note 24.2.
2.19 Contingent consideration
The contingent consideration liabilities associated with business combinations are measured at fair value which has been calculated with reference to our judgement of the expected probability and timing of the potential future milestone payments, which is then discounted to a present value using appropriate discount rates with reference to the Group’s weighted average cost of capital. Subsequent changes in estimates for contingent consideration liabilities are recognised in Other losses (net). The effect of unwinding the discount over time is recognised in Finance costs.
Contingent consideration in connection with the purchase of individual assets outside of business combinations is recognised as a liability only when a non-contingent obligation arises (i.e. when milestone is met). Where the contingent consideration is payable in shares, or the group has an election to pay in shares, it is accounted for as an equity settled share-based payment. Equity settled share-based payments are recognised at their fair value at the date control of the asset is obtained. The determination of whether the payment should be capitalised or expensed is usually based on the reason for the contingent payment. If the contingent payment is based on regulatory approvals received (i.e. development milestone), it will generally be capitalised as the payment is incidental to the acquisition so the asset may be made available for its intended use. If the contingent payment is based on period volumes sold (i.e. sales related milestone), it will generally be expensed.
Changes in the fair value of liabilities from contingent consideration will be capitalised or expensed based on the nature of the asset acquired (refer above), except for the effect from unwinding discounts. Interest rate effects from unwinding of discounts are recognised as finance costs. The fair value of equity-settled share-based payments is not re-assessed once the asset has been recognised.
2.20 Employee benefits
Employee benefits are recognised as an expense, unless the cost qualifies to be capitalised as an asset.
a Short-term obligations
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits and annual leave that is expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period. These liabilities are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the consolidated statement of financial position.
b Other long-term employee benefit obligations
The liabilities for long service leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the reporting period of high-quality corporate bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or loss. The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur.
c Share-based payments
Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to certain employees. Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, options or performance rights over shares, that are provided to employees. The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured at fair value on grant date. Fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option and volatility. No account is taken of any other vesting conditions.
If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited. If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new awards are treated as if they were a modification.
d Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates:
when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits, and
when the entity recognises costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37/AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and involves the payment of termination benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period are discounted to present value.
2.21 Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the construction of qualifying assets are capitalised as part of the cost of the relevant asset.
Borrowings are removed from the consolidated statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
2.22 Revenue
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.
Revenue is recognised using a five step approach in accordance with IFRS 15/AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Distinct promises within the contract are identified as performance obligations. The transaction price of the contract is measured based on the amount of consideration the Group expects to be entitled to from the customer in exchange for goods or services. Factors such as requirements around variable consideration, significant financing components, noncash consideration, or amounts payable to customers also determine the transaction price. The transaction is then allocated to separate performance obligations in the contract based on relative standalone selling prices.
Revenue is recognised when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied, which is when control of the promised good or service is transferred to the customer.
Amounts received prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria are recorded as contract liabilities. Amounts expected to be recognised as revenue within the 12 months following the consolidated statement of financial position date are classified within current liabilities. Amounts not expected to be recognised as revenue within the 12 months following the consolidated statement of financial position date are classified within non-current liabilities.
a Sales of goods
Sales are recognised at a point-in-time when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer. Further, in determining whether control has transferred, Telix considers if there is a present right to payment and legal title, along with risks and rewards of ownership having transferred to the customer. Revenue from sales is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated volume discounts and government rebates.
Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for discounts, using the expected value method, and revenue is recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with credit terms ranging from 30 to 45 days, which is consistent with market practice.
Where distributors are used to facilitate the supply of a product a distribution fee is charged. This fee represents a cost of satisfying the performance obligation to the customer and expensed within Cost of sales in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income or loss.
b Licenses of intellectual property
When licenses of intellectual property are distinct from other goods or services promised in the contract, the transaction price is allocated to the license as revenue upon transfer of control of the license to the customer. All other promised goods or services in the license agreement are evaluated to determine if they are distinct. If they are not distinct, they are combined with other promised goods or services.
The transaction price allocated to the license performance obligation is recognised based on the nature of the license arrangement. The transaction price is recognised over time if the nature of the license is a ‘right to access’ license. This is where the Group performs activities that significantly affect the intellectual property to which the customer has rights, the rights granted by the license directly expose the customer to any positive or negative effects of the Group’s activities, and those activities do not result in the transfer of a good or service to the customer as those activities occur. When licenses do not meet the criteria to be a right to access license, the license is a ’right to use’ license, and the transaction price is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control over the license.
c Research and development services
Where research and development (R&D) services do not significantly modify or customise the license nor are the license and development services significantly interrelated or interdependent, the provision of R&D services is considered to be distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the R&D services based on a cost-plus margin approach. Revenue is recognised over time based on the costs incurred to date as a percentage of total forecast costs. Reforecasting of total costs is performed at the end of each reporting period to ensure that costs recognised represent the goods or services transferred.
d Financing component
The existence of a significant financing component in the contract is considered under the five-step method under IFRS 15/AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
If the timing of payments agreed to by the parties to the contract (either explicitly or implicitly) provides the customer or the Group with a significant benefit of financing the transfer of goods or services to the customer, the promised amount of consideration will be adjusted for the effects of the time value of money when determining the transaction price.
e Milestone revenue
The five-step method under IFRS 15/AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers is applied to measure and recognise milestone revenue.
The receipt of milestone payments is often contingent on meeting certain clinical, regulatory or commercial targets, and is therefore considered variable consideration. The transaction price of the contingent milestone is estimated using the most likely amount method. Within the transaction price, some or all of the amount of the contingent milestone is included only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the contingent milestone is subsequently resolved. Milestone payments that are not within the control of the Group, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered highly probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. Any changes in the transaction price are allocated to all performance obligations in the contract unless the variable consideration relates only to one or more, but not all, of the performance obligations. When consideration for milestones is a sale-based or usage-based royalty that arises from licenses of intellectual property (such as cumulative net sales targets), revenue is recognised at the later of when (or as) the subsequent sale or usage occurs, or when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).
f Sales-based or usage-based royalties
Licenses of intellectual property can include royalties that are based on the customer’s usage of the intellectual property or sale of products that contain the intellectual property. The specific exception to the general requirements of variable consideration and the constraint on variable consideration for sales-based or usage-based royalties promised in a license of intellectual property is applied. The exception requires such revenue to be recognised at the later of when (or as) the subsequent sale or usage occurs and the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based or usage-based royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).
2.23 Government grants
Income from government grants is recognised at fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Income from government grants is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises as an expense the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.
2.24 Income tax
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Included in income tax expense for the period is the effect of Australian R&D tax credits which may only be offset against Australian taxable income. As such, they are recognised as a component of income tax expense.
Tax consolidation regime
Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited and its wholly owned Australian resident entities have formed a tax-consolidated group and are therefore taxed as a single entity. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited. As a consequence, the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities of these entities have been offset in the consolidated financial statements.
2.25 Sales Taxes and Goods and Services Tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated sales taxes and GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
2.26 Earnings per share
a Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing: the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the period and excluding treasury shares.
b Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account: the after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
2.27 Fair value measurement
Certain judgements and estimates are made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised and measured at fair value in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. The different levels have been defined as follows:
Level 1: fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting period. The quoted market price used for financial assets is the current bid price.
Level 2: fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: if one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
There were no transfers between level 1, 2 and 3 for recurring fair value measurements during the year. The Group’s policy is to recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the reporting period. Certain judgements and estimates are made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised and measured at fair value in the financial statements.
2.28 Key judgements and estimates
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, a number of judgements and estimates of future events are required.
Accrued R&D expenditure
The Group is required to estimate its accrued expenses at each reporting date, which involves reviewing open contracts and purchase orders, communicating with program directors and managers to identify services that have already been performed, estimating the level of services performed with associated costs incurred for the service for which the Group has not yet been invoiced, or otherwise notified of the actual cost. The majority of service providers invoice the Group monthly in arrears for services performed or when contractual milestones are met. The Group estimates accrued expenses at each reporting date based on facts and circumstances known at that time. The Group periodically confirms the accuracy of estimates with the service providers and makes adjustments if necessary. Examples of estimated accrued expenses include fees paid to:
Contract Research Organisations (CROs) in connection with clinical studies
investigative sites in connection with clinical studies
vendors in connection with preclinical development activities, and
vendors related to product manufacturing, process development and distribution of clinical supplies, all of which are in connection with products for use in clinical trials.
Impairment assessment – carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets
The assessment of impairment of the goodwill and intangible assets has required estimates and judgements to be made. The inputs for these have been outlined in note 18.
Contingent consideration and decommissioning liabilities
The Group has identified the contingent consideration and decommissioning liabilities as balances requiring estimates and significant judgements. These estimates and judgements have been outlined in note 24 and note 25.
2.29 Climate change
In preparing the consolidated financial statements management assessed the impact of climate change, particularly in the context of the disclosures included in the Sustainability report and the Group's commitments.
Management considered the impact of climate change on a number of key estimates within the financial statements, including:
the estimates of future cash flows used in impairment assessments of the carrying value of non-current assets (such as intangible assets, and goodwill)
the assumptions used in measuring decommissioning liabilities.
While the assessment did not have a material impact for the year ended 31 December 2023, this may change in future periods as the Group regularly updates its assessment of the impact of the lower carbon economy.
3 Segment reporting
The Group has operations in the Americas, Asia Pacific, and Europe, Middle East and Africa. During 2022, the Group achieved a major commercial milestone with the launch of its prostate cancer imaging product Illuccix® in the United States (U.S.) and the subsequent receipt of first commercial revenues from sales of Illuccix® in April 2022.
Reportable segments
The Group operated two reportable segments during the year ended 31 December 2023. The Group’s operating segments are based on the reports reviewed by the Group Chief Executive Officer who is considered to be the chief operating decision maker.
Segment performance is evaluated based on Adjusted earnings before interest, tax depreciation and amortisation (Adjusted EBITDA). Adjusted EBITDA excludes the effects of the remeasurement of contingent consideration and government grant liabilities and other income and expenses which may have an impact on the quality of earnings such as impairments where the impairment is the result of an isolated, non-recurring event. Interest income and finance costs are not allocated to segments as this activity is managed centrally by a central treasury function, which manages the cash position of the Group.
Segment assets and liabilities are measured in the same way as in the financial statements. The assets and liabilities are allocated based on the operations of the segment. Finance costs are not allocated to segments, as this type of activity is driven by head office, which manages the cash position of the Group.
Reportable segment | Principal activities |
---|---|
Commercial operations | Commercial sales of Illuccix® and other products subsequent to obtaining regulatory approvals |
Product development | Developing radiopharmaceutical products for commercialisation. This segment includes revenue received from license agreements prior to commercialisation and research and development services. |
Group and unallocated includes Manufacturing Services and Medical Technologies segments, head office and centrally managed costs (which includes any remeasurements of contingent consideration liabilities).

Additions
Mauna Kea
On 13 November 2023 Telix announced a strategic investment in Mauna Kea of $10,130,000 (€6,000,000), to develop new hybrid pharmaceutical-device products through the combination of Telix's cancer-targeting agents with Mauna Kea's surgical endomicroscopy platform. Telix's investment in Mauna Kea will further support the development of advanced imaging techniques for minimally invasive surgery, with a specific focus on urologic oncology.
Under the deal terms, Telix purchased 11,911,852 new ordinary shares of Mauna Kea at €0.5037 per share. Telix owns 19.33% of the share capital and 19.01% of the voting rights of Mauna Kea. The investment was designated at the date of acquisition as a financial asset valued at fair value through other comprehensive income.
QSAM Biosciences
On 14 November 2023 Telix announced the proposed acquisition of QSAM Biosciences Inc (QSAM). QSAM is a U.S. based clinical stage company developing therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals for primary and metastatic bone cancer.
Telix paid QSAM an upfront Collaboration and Option Fee of $3,025,000 (US$2,000,000) in cash to advance development efforts based on mutually agreed goals and to provide sixty days of exclusivity pending completion of diligence and execution of a definitive acquisition agreement. If the acquisition of QSAM proceeds, upon closing, Telix will pay an upfront purchase price of US$33,100,000 in equity through the issue of fully paid ordinary Telix shares. If the proposed acquisition of QSAM does not close, the Collaboration and Option Fee will be converted to QSAM common stock at US$6.70 per share. The upfront Collaboration and Option Fee has been designated at the date of acquisition as a financial asset valued at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Amounts recognised in other comprehensive income or loss
Fair values have been determined based on the quoted share prices (level 1 inputs) at 31 December 2023, resulting in a loss of $895,000 (2022: $Nil) recognised in other comprehensive income or loss.

Impairment test for goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets
Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are tested annually for impairment. At 31 December 2023, the Directors used a fair value less costs to sell approach to assess the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets. No impairment was recognised by the Group.
Key assumptions used for the fair value less costs to sell approach
The Group has identified the estimate of the recoverable amount as a significant judgement for the year ended 31 December 2023. In determining the recoverable amount of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets, the Group has used discounted cash flow forecasts and the following key assumptions (classified as level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy):
discounted expected future cash flows of each program which span 10 years from marketing authorisation, reflecting the anticipated product life cycle, and include cash inflows and outflows determined using further assumptions below
risk adjusted post-tax discount rate – 15.0% (2022: 15.0%)
regulatory/marketing authorisation approval dates, these are re-assessed in conjunction with Senior Management and Commercial teams
expected sales volumes, these are determined by applying a target market share to cancer incidence rates across countries within Americas, European and APAC regions, sourced from data provided by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer
net sales price per unit, for commercialised products forecast average selling price is used and for products in development a target sales price is used
approval for marketing authorisation probability success factor, this varies depending on the clinical trial stage of each program
in relation to cash outflows consideration has been given to cost of sales, selling and marketing expenses, general and administration costs and the anticipated research and development costs to reach commercialisation. Associated expenses such as royalties, milestone payments and licence fees are included, and
costs of disposal were assumed to be immaterial at 31 December 2023.
Impact of possible changes in key assumptions
The Group has considered reasonable possible changes in the key assumptions and has not identified any instances that could cause the carrying amounts of the intangible assets at 31 December 2023 to exceed their recoverable amounts.
Whilst there is no impairment, the key sensitivities in the valuation remain the continued successful development and commercialisation of core programs. If the Group is unable to successfully develop each product, this may result in an impairment of the carrying amount of our intangible assets.
Impairment triggers for definite life intangible assets
TLX66CDx (Scintimun) manufacturing uses Triton X-100, which can no longer be used in Europe without authorisation from the Regulation on the registration, evaluation, authorisation and restriction of chemicals (REACH). In December 2023, REACH declined an application from the Group for exemption for the use of Triton X-100 in the manufacturing of TLX66CDx. These adverse events indicated that the carrying amount of TLX66-CDx of $898,000 may not be recoverable at 31 December 2023 and the intangible asset was impaired.
Management is currently exploring whether Scintimun could be used for dosimetry to support the TLX66 program, subject to clinical testing. Improvements to the manufacturing process in response to these events could also result in a significant increase in productivity and a reduction in manufacturing costs, which could benefit both Scintimun and TLX66 in the future.
Other than the impairment trigger on TLX66-CDx, there were no other internal or external factors identified that could result in an impairment of definite life intangible assets at 31 December 2023.
19 Acquisitions
Dedicaid GmbH
The Group completed the acquisition of Vienna-based Dedicaid GmbH on 27 April 2023. The acquisition does not meet the definition of a business in IFRS 3/AASB 3 Business Combinations and the transaction has been recognised as an asset acquisition. The fair values of identifiable assets on acquisition are outlined below:

Lightpoint Medical
The Group completed the acquisition of Lightpoint Medical's RGS business, assets and operations, through the purchase of Lightpoint Medical Limited’s wholly owned subsidiary, Lightpoint Surgical Limited on 1 November 2023. Lightpoint Medical – a technology leader in precision-guided robotic cancer surgery – develops and markets miniaturised imaging and sensing tools for advanced intra-operative cancer detection. The acquisition will support and expand Telix’s late-stage urologic pipeline and, together with its complementary AI technologies, will strengthen Telix’s capabilities in deploying molecular imaging in the surgical setting.
The upfront consideration was $31,522,000 (US$20,000,000) of which $30,895,000 (US$19,600,000) has been paid to Lightpoint Medical in equity through the issue of 3,298,073 fully paid ordinary Telix shares at $9.3659 per share, with the balance paid in cash. A further $23,624,000 (US$15,000,000) is payable via an earn-out in the form of rights (Performance Rights). Performance Rights will be settled in cash or equity (at Telix’s election) upon achievement of certain milestones (Milestone Events) relating to the ongoing development and commercialisation of the SENSEI® probe and amounts have been recognised based on the probability of achieving the milestones.
The Group has determined that substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset or a group of similar assets. The Group has applied the optional concentration of fair value test in IFRS 3/AASB 3 Business Combinations and concluded that the components acquired will be treated as an asset acquisition.
The Performance Rights have been recognised as an equity settled share based payment at a fair value of $21,278,000, which has been included in the fair value of intellectual property. Each milestone has a fixed dollar amount which can be settled either in cash of shares. The fair value of the Performance Rights was determined based on management’s assessment of the likelihood of each milestone being reached against the fixed dollar amount for that milestone. The likelihood of the milestones being attained are considered non-vesting conditions as there are no further services or obligations of the counterparty, thus being reflected in the fair value.

Total borrowings | 9,173 | 3,312 |
All borrowings outstanding at 31 December 2023 are in relation to the build-out of the Brussels South radiopharmaceutical production facility. Telix Pharmaceuticals (Belgium) SPRL (a wholly owned subsidiary of Telix) entered into two loan agreements, one with BNP Paribas and IMBC Group totalling €10,100,000 on a 10-year term, and a second loan with BNP Paribas totalling €2,000,000 on a two-year extendable term. All loans have a two-year repayment holiday period, with repayments due to commence from March 2024. The loans are secured by a fixed charged over the facility.
The loan agreements entitle BNP Paribas and IMBC Group to suspend or terminate all or part of the undrawn portion of the loan facilities with immediate effect and without prior notice. At 31 December 2023, the undrawn portion under the agreements was €6,455,000 ($10,488,000). As at the reporting date Telix has not received any notice to this effect.
The loan agreements require Telix Pharmaceuticals (Belgium) SPRL to comply with various covenants relating to the conduct of the business, including non-payment of required repayments, specified cross-defaults (in the event of the use of trade bills) and ensuring cumulative losses of Telix Pharmaceuticals (Belgium) SPRL do not exceed 25% of its capital and reserves. Upon the occurrence of an event of default and in the event of a change of control, BNP Paribas and IMBC Group may accelerate payments due under the loan agreements or terminate the loan agreements. There were no events of default or changes of control during the year.

Fair value: For all borrowings, the fair values are not materially different to their carrying amounts, since the interest payable on those borrowings is either close to current market rates or the borrowings are of a short-term nature.
Capital risk management: Capital is defined as the combination of shareholders’ equity, reserves and net debt. The key objective of the Group when managing its capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that the Group can continue to provide benefits for stakeholders and maintain an optimal capital and funding structure. The aim of the Group’s capital management framework is to maintain, monitor and secure access to future funding arrangements to finance the necessary research and development activities being performed by the Group. Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the following gearing ratio: Debt as divided by Equity. At 31 December 2023 the Group’s on-balance sheet gearing and leverage ratio was less than 1% (2022: less than 1%).

Grand Pharma strategic partnership
On 2 November 2020, the Group entered into a strategic commercial partnership with Grand Pharmaceutical Group Limited (Grand Pharma or GP, formerly known as China Grand Pharma or CGP) for the Group’s portfolio of targeted radiation products. A non-refundable upfront payment of US$25,000,000 was received upon signing of the contract with GP. The strategic partnership with GP is accounted for as a revenue contract comprising the grant of a sublicence of the Group's existing intellectual property and the provision of research and development services. The Group has measured its contractual liability to undertake the identified future performance obligations relating to research and development services using a cost plus margin approach. As the performance obligation relating to research and development services is expected to be completed over several years from execution, a financing component has been recognised within Finance costs in profit or loss on an effective interest basis.
Walloon Region non-reimbursable grant
On 29 August 2022, Telix Innovations SA received a non-reimbursable government grant to support research efforts associated with 211At-TLX591/TLX592. The first instalment received was for €365,000, this amount will be released to the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income or loss as the associated expenditure is incurred.

24.1 Government grant liability
Telix Innovations has received grants from the Walloon regional government in Belgium. These grants meet the definition of a financial liability as defined in IFRS 9/AASB 9 Financial Instruments and were designated to be measured at fair value through profit and loss.
The grants are repayable to the Walloon government based on a split between fixed and variable repayments. The fixed proportion is based on contractual cash flows agreed with the Walloon government. The variable cash flows are based on a fixed percentage of future sales and are capped at an agreed upon level.
The Group has estimated that the full variable repayments will be made up to the pre-agreed capped amount. The key inputs into this calculation are the risk adjusted discount rate of 3.3% (2022: 3.2%), the expected sales volumes and the net sales price per unit. The expected sales volumes and net sales price per unit assumptions are consistent with those utilised by the Group in the calculation of the contingent consideration liability and intellectual property valuation.
24.2 Decommissioning liability
Telix purchased the radiopharmaceutical production facility in Belgium on 27 April 2020. The site had cyclotrons installed in concrete shielded vaults which also contained some nuclear contamination associated with past manufacturing activities. As part of this transaction, Telix assumed the obligation to remove the cyclotrons and restore the site.
The Group removed the cyclotrons from the site during 2022. Other decommissioning activities not required to upgrade the production facility have been deferred to the end of the operating life of the facility in 2041. The decommissioning costs expected to be incurred in 2041 of €6,021,000 (2022: €6,021,000) have been discounted using the Belgium risk-free rate of 3.3% (2022: 3.2%) and translated to Australian dollars at the exchange rate at 31 December 2023.
The provision represents the best estimate of the expenditures required to settle the present obligation at 31 December 2023. While the Group has made its best estimate in establishing its decommissioning liability, because of potential changes in technology as well as safety and environmental requirements, plus the actual timescale to complete decommissioning, the ultimate provision requirements could vary from the Group’s current estimates. Any subsequent changes in estimate which alter the level of the provision required are also reflected in adjustments to the intangible licence asset. Each year, the provision is increased to reflect the unwind of discount and to accrue an estimate for the effects of inflation, with the charges being presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income or loss. Actual payments for commencement of decommissioning activity are disclosed as provision utilised in the above table.

Telix Innovations (formerly ANMI)
The Group acquired ANMI on 24 December 2018. The Group is liable for future variable payments which are calculated based on the percentage of net sales for five years following the achievement of marketing authorisation of the product. The percentage of net sales varies depending on the net sales achieved in the U.S. and the rest of the world. The Group also holds an option to buy-out the remaining future variable payments in the third year following the achievement of marketing authorisation, if specified sales thresholds are met.
As at consolidated statement of financial position date, the Group has remeasured the contingent consideration to its fair value. The remeasurement is as a result of changes to the key assumptions such as risk adjusted post-tax discount rate, expected sales volumes and net sales price per unit.
The contingent consideration liability has been valued using a discounted cash flow model that utilises certain unobservable level 3 inputs. These key assumptions include risk adjusted post-tax discount rate 15.0% (2022: 15.0%), expected sales volumes over the forecast period and net sales price per unit.
The following table summarises the quantitative information about these assumptions, including the impact of sensitivities from reasonably possible changes where applicable:
Contingent consideration valuation
Unobservable input | Methodology | 31 December 2023 |
---|---|---|
Risk adjusted post-tax discount rate | The post-tax discount rate used in the valuation has been determined based on required rates of returns of listed companies in the biotechnology industry (having regards to their stage of development, size and risk adjustments). | A 0.5% increase in the post-tax discount rate would decrease the contingent consideration by 0.4% and a 0.5% decrease in the post-tax discount rate would increase the contingent consideration by 0.4%. |
Expected sales volumes | This is determined using actual sales volumes for 2023 and forecasting sales volumes for 2024 and beyond for each region. | A 10% increase in sales volumes across all regions would increase the contingent consideration by 5.5% and a 10% decrease in sales volumes would decrease the contingent consideration by 5.5% |
Net sales price per unit | This is determined using actual sales prices for 2023 and forecasting sales prices for 2024 and beyond for each region. | A 10% increase in net sales price per unit across all regions would increase the contingent consideration by 5.6% and a 10% decrease in sales prices would decrease the contingent consideration by 5.6%. |
Telix Switzerland (formerly TheraPharm)
Telix acquired TheraPharm on 14 December 2020. Part of the consideration for the acquisition was in the form of future payments contingent on certain milestones. These are:
€5,000,000 cash payment upon successful completion of a Phase III pivotal registration trial
€5,000,000 cash payment upon achievement of marketing authorisation in the Europe or the U.S., whichever approval comes first, and
5% of net sales for the first three years following marketing authorisation in the Europe or the U.S., whichever approval comes first.
The valuation of the contingent consideration has been performed utilising a discounted cash flow model that uses certain unobservable assumptions. These key assumptions include risk adjusted post-tax discount rate of 15.0% (2022: 15.0%), marketing authorisation date, expected sales volumes over the forecast period, net sales price per unit and approval for marketing authorisation probability success factor.
The following table summarises the quantitative information about these assumptions, including the impact of sensitivities from reasonably possible changes where applicable:
Contingent consideration valuation
Unobservable input | Methodology | 31 December 2023 |
---|---|---|
Risk adjusted post-tax discount rate | The post-tax discount rate used in the valuation has been determined based on required rates of returns of listed companies in the biotechnology industry (having regards to their stage of development, size and risk adjustments). | A 0.5% increase in the post-tax discount rate would decrease the contingent consideration by 2.0% and a decrease in the post-tax discount rate by 0.5% would increase the contingent consideration by 2.0%. |
Expected sales volumes | This is determined through assumptions on target market population, penetration and growth rates in the U.S. and Europe. | A 10% increase in the sales volumes would increase the contingent consideration by 0.7% and a 10% decrease in sales volumes would decrease the contingent consideration by 0.7%. |
Net sales price per unit | The net sales price per unit is estimated based on comparable products currently in the market. | A 10% increase in the net sales price per unit would increase the contingent consideration by 1.6% and a 10% decrease in net sales price per unit would decrease the contingent consideration by 1.6%. |
Approval for marketing authorisation probability success factor | This assumption is based on management’s estimate for achieving regulatory approval and is determined through benchmarking of historic approval rates. | An increase in the probability of success factor by 10% would increase the contingent consideration by 50.0% and a 10% decrease in the probability of success factor would decrease the contingent consideration to nil. |
Telix Optimal Tracers
The Group acquired the assets of Optimal Tracers on 31 December 2022. The consideration includes two contingent payments based on a percentage of revenue from existing customers for the years ending 31 December 2023 and 2024.
The valuation of the contingent consideration has been performed utilising a discounted cash flow model that uses certain unobservable assumptions. These key assumptions include risk adjusted post-tax discount rate of 15.0% and expected revenue from existing customers over the next year.
The following table summarises the quantitative information about these assumptions, including the impact of sensitivities from reasonably possible changes where applicable:

Equity Incentive Plan and Options
The Equity Incentive Plan (EIP) was established to allow the Board of Telix to make offers to Eligible Employees to acquire securities in the Company and to otherwise incentivise employees. ‘Eligible Employees’ includes full time, part time or casual employees of a Group Company, a Non-Executive Director of a Group Company, a Contractor, or any other person who is declared by the Board to be eligible.
The Board may, from time to time and in its absolute discretion, invite Eligible Employees to participate in a grant of Incentive Securities, which may comprise Rights (including Performance Share Appreciation Rights), Options, and/or Restricted Shares. Vesting of Incentive Securities under the EIP is subject to any vesting or performance conditions determined by the Board. Incentive Securities are normally granted under the EIP for no consideration and carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercised, each Incentive Security is convertible into one Share.
Non-Executive Directors are able to participate in the Equity Incentive Plan, under which equity may be issued subject to Shareholder approval. Options are however normally issued to Non-Executive Directors not as an ‘incentive’ under the EIP but as a means of cost-effective consideration for agreeing to join the Board. The details of Incentive Securities on issue to individual Directors can be found in the Remuneration report for the year ended 31 December 2023. For the purposes of this table and to illustrate the total number of Incentive Securities on issue under the rules of the EIP, all Incentive Securities issued to Non-Executive Directors, Executive Directors, employees and contractors are included.
Incentive Securities contain a cashless exercise clause that allows employees to exercise the securities for an exercise price of $0.00 in exchange for forfeiting a portion of their vested securities.

30 Financial risk management
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed.
30.1 Interest rate risk
The Group’s borrowings that have been drawn down at 31 December 2023 have fixed interest rates, and therefore the Group is not exposed to any significant interest rate risk.
30.2 Price risk
The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk as contracts are in place to meet current estimated material requirements.
30.3 Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk of fluctuation in fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk, primarily the US dollar and Euro. Foreign exchange risk arises from commercial activities in the U.S. and research and development activities in Europe and the U.S..
The Group's treasury risk management policy is to settle all US dollar denominated expenditure with US dollar denominated receipts from sales of Illuccix® in the U.S.. The Group also manages currency risk by making decisions as to the levels of cash to hold in each currency by assessing its future activities which will likely be incurred in those currencies. Any remaining foreign currency exposure has therefore not been hedged.
The Group has both foreign currency receivables and payables, predominantly denominated in US dollar and Euro. The Group had a surplus of foreign currency receivables over payables of $26,488,000 at 31 December 2023 (2022: $24,176,000).
The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates also relates to the Group’s net investments in foreign subsidiaries, which predominantly include denominations in Euro and US dollar, however given the level of current investments in foreign subsidiaries, the impact is limited.
As at 31 December 2023, the Group held 6.7% (2022: 44.5%) of its cash in Australian dollars, 77.5% (2022: 52.1%) in US dollars, 15.4% (2022: 3.2%) in EUR, 0.1% (2022: 0.1%) in Japanese Yen (JPY) and 0.3% (2022: 0.1%) in Swiss Francs (CHF).

30.4 Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables.
Credit risk is managed on a group basis. If customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. Otherwise, if there is no independent rating, the Group assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings. The compliance with credit limits by customers is regularly monitored. The Group obtains guarantees where appropriate to mitigate credit risk.
The Group applies the IFRS 9/AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables.
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The expected loss rates are based on historical payment profiles of sales and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables.
Trade receivables are written off where there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Group, and the failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due.
Impairment losses on trade receivables are presented within selling, general and administration costs within profit or loss. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.
As at 31 December 2023, the expected credit losses are $533,000 (2022: $Nil). The following tables sets out the ageing of trade receivables, according to their due date:
Aged trade receivables

Credit risk concentration profile
The Group has a significant credit risk exposure to three distributors of 81% (2022: 89% to three distributors). The Group defines major credit risk as exposure to a concentration exceeding 10% of a total class of such asset.
30.5 Liquidity risk
The Group is exposed to liquidity and funding risk from operations and from external borrowings, where the risk is that the Group may not be able to refinance debt obligations or meet other cash outflow obligations when required. Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Group to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents). The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Remaining contractual maturities:
The following tables detail the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the consolidated statement of financial position.

30.6 Fair value
30.6.1 Financial assets
Financial assets are categorised as level 1 financial assets and remeasured at each reporting date with movements recognised in other comprehensive income. The inputs used in the fair value calculations are with reference to published price quotations for the associated equity instruments in an active market.
Sensitivity of level 1 financial assets
An increase/(decrease) of 10% in the share price of each financial asset while holding all other variables constant will increase/(decrease) other comprehensive income by $1,178,000 (2022: $nil).
30.6.2 Financial liabilities
Contingent consideration liabilities are categorised as level 3 financial liabilities and remeasured at each reporting date with movements recognised in profit or loss, except in instances where changes are permitted to be added to/reduce an associated asset. The inputs used in fair value calculations are determined by Management.
The carrying amount of financial liabilities measured at fair value is principally calculated based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for these financial liabilities, either directly (i.e. as unquoted prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). Where no price information is available from a quoted market source, alternative market mechanisms or recent comparable transactions, fair value is estimated based on the management’s views on relevant future prices, net of valuation allowances to accommodate liquidity, modelling and other risks implicit in such estimates.
Sensitivity of level 3 financial liabilities
The potential effect of using reasonably possible alternative assumptions in valuation models, based on a change in the most significant input, such as sales volumes, by an increase/(decrease) of 10% while holding all other variables constant will increase/(decrease) profit before tax by $5,061,000 (2022: $4,510,000).
Valuation processes
The finance team of the Group performs the valuation of contingent consideration liabilities required for financial reporting purposes, including level 3 fair values. This team reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between the CFO and Board at least once every six months, in line with the Group’s half-yearly reporting periods.
The main level 3 inputs used by the Group in measuring the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities are derived and evaluated as follows:
discount rates are determined by an independent third party using a weighted average cost of capital model to calculate a post-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risk specific to the asset
regulatory/marketing authorisation approval dates and approval for marketing authorisation probability risk factors are derived in consultation with the Group’s regulatory team
expected sales volumes and net sales price per unit are estimated based on market information on annual incidence rates and information for similar products and expected market penetration, and
contingent consideration cash flows are estimated based on the terms of the sale contract. Changes in fair values are analysed at the end of each reporting period during the half-yearly valuation discussion between the CFO and Board. As part of this discussion the CFO presents a report that explains the reason for the fair value movement.
31 Contingent liabilities
The Group has entered into collaboration arrangements, including in-licensing arrangements with various companies. Such collaboration agreements may require the Group to make payments on achievement of stages of development, launch or revenue milestones and may include variable payments that are based on unit sales or profit (e.g. royalty and profit share payments). The amount of variable payments under the arrangements are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict, given the direct link to future sales, profit levels and the range of outcomes.
The Group also has certain take or pay arrangements with contract manufacturers or service providers which serve as commercial manufacturers and suppliers for certain products. To the extent a commitment is determined to be onerous, these are provided for within provisions in the consolidated statement of financial position.
On 18 March 2021 the Group entered into a non-exclusive global clinical and commercial supply agreement with Garching-based ITM Isotopen Technologien München AG (ITM) for the supply of highly pure no-carrier-added lutetium-177, a therapeutic isotope. ITM will supply the product for use in the Group’s investigational programs in prostate and kidney cancer therapy and subject to approval of the Group’s drug candidates for therapeutic use, also provide the product for scale-up and commercialisation. At 31 December 2023 there is a possible obligation for the Group to pay €1,000,000 to ITM on the approval of the product for therapeutic use by the relevant regulatory authority in either U.S., France, Germany, Spain, Italy or the UK and €1,000,000 when the Group makes a commercial arms-length sale of the product. The existence of the obligation will be confirmed only by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Group.
On 19 December 2023 the Group submitted its Biologics License Application (BLA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its investigational positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agent TLX250-CDx in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). As at 31 December 2023, there are potential milestone payments of US$1,850,000 to a licensor should the Group be successful in obtaining regulatory approval and commercialisation in the U.S..
32 Commitments
At 31 December 2023 and at the date of these financial statements, the Group had commitments against existing R&D and capital commitments relating to the construction of the Brussels South manufacturing facility.

37 Deed of cross guarantee
During 2022, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Group entered into a deed of cross guarantee. By entering into the deed, the subsidiaries who are party to the deed have been relieved from the requirement to prepare and lodge audited financial statements under ASIC Corporations (Wholly-owned Companies) Instrument 2016/785. The subsidiaries identified with a ‘1’ in note 33.3 are parties to a deed of cross guarantee under which each Company guarantees to each creditor payment in full of any debt in accordance with the deed of cross guarantee.
For the year ended 31 December 2023 the parties to the deed of cross guarantee incurred a loss of $202,802,000 (2022: loss of $138,675,000) and as at 31 December 2023 were in a net deficit position of $43,990,000 (2022: net assets $53,448,000), with cash and cash equivalents of $69,239,000 (2022: $62,668,000).
Cash on hand and the repatriation of future cash inflows from commercial activities undertaken by wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries is considered sufficient to meet forecast cash outflows, research and development activities currently underway and other committed business activities for at least 12 months from the date of these financial statements. Further, current liabilities include loans with other subsidiaries in the Group of $101,390,000 which will be settled when sufficient funds are available.
On this basis, the Directors are satisfied that the parties to the deed of cross guarantee continue to be a going concern as at the date of these financial statements.
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position of the entities party to the deed of cross guarantee are provided as follows:
