- A$213,000 Serum Institute of India order under five-year agreement
- Life Sciences sales forecast to reach ~A$0.93 million in FY2025
- 130% sales growth compared to FY2024
- Vidcare project delayed by Indian regulatory hurdles
- KOMA Biotech prototype assay development completed, further work pending
Strong Sales Momentum from Serum Institute
AnteoTech Ltd has announced a fresh purchase order worth approximately A$213,000 from the Serum Institute of India (SII), reinforcing the company’s ongoing five-year supply agreement. This order pushes SII’s annual commitment beyond the minimum threshold, underscoring growing adoption of AnteoTech’s AnteoBind™ technology in one of the world’s largest vaccine manufacturers.
The company’s Life Sciences division is on track to deliver nearly A$0.93 million in sales for FY2025, representing a remarkable 130% increase over the previous year. This surge reflects both deepening customer relationships and expanding use cases for AnteoBind™ products.
Project Delays and Collaborations
While the Vidcare Innovations project in India has encountered delays due to regulatory requirements, AnteoTech maintains a collaborative partnership with Vidcare, working closely to facilitate platform adoption and particle qualification. These delays, though unexpected, have not dampened the strategic relationship.
Meanwhile, AnteoTech has successfully completed a prototype lateral flow assay development for South Korea’s KOMA Biotech. The company awaits final payment and approval for a follow-up work package, signaling potential for further engagement in the Asian life sciences market.
Strategic Outlook and Growth Pipeline
Interim Managing Director Merrill Gray highlighted the Life Sciences team’s success in expanding the customer base and product pipeline. With a strategic review underway, AnteoTech is positioning itself to capitalize on growing demand for its diagnostic activation materials, aiming to broaden opportunities for both AnteoBind™ and its next-generation AnteoBind NXT™ products in FY2026.
Despite some operational headwinds, the company’s focus on innovation and partnership development bodes well for sustained growth in a competitive biotechnology landscape.
Bottom Line?
AnteoTech’s Life Sciences unit is gaining traction, but regulatory and project execution risks remain key watchpoints.
Questions in the middle?
- How will regulatory delays with Vidcare impact the timing of future revenue recognition?
- What are the prospects and timelines for expanding the KOMA Biotech collaboration?
- Can AnteoTech sustain its accelerated sales growth beyond FY2025 amid competitive pressures?
