4DMedical Limited (ASX:4DX) Announces $6.5m Annual Cost Reduction Program
Cost Reduction Measures
4DMedical Limited has completed a strategic review and will implement cost reduction measures to achieve an initial $6.5 million in annual savings. The company’s current cost-cutting efforts include reducing 25 full-time employees and optimising operational efficiency.
Financial Performance and Future Outlook
Following a successful placement and SPP that raised $13.9 million, 4DMedical has also reduced its net operating expenditure for the first half of FY25 to $18.8 million, an 11% decrease compared to the second half of FY24. These initiatives are expected to have no impact on revenue growth and upcoming milestones, including FDA clearance of CT:VQ™ and additional contract wins.
Leadership Changes
As part of the strategic review, Naomi Lawrie and Simon Glover have departed from the roles of Company Secretary and CFO, respectively. Chris Cox has been appointed as Interim CFO, and Hamish George will serve as the new Company Secretary.
Executive Comments
MD/CEO and Founder Andreas Fouras said: “At 4DMedical, peak operating costs are well behind us, while revenue continues to grow strongly. Nevertheless, in the current macroeconomic environment, it is prudent to expand and accelerate cost reduction measures. In combination with previously realised savings and our just-completed capital raise, these measures protect core activities. I am incredibly excited about the year to come and anticipate successes across Philips, the VA and bringing CT:VQ™ to market.”
