		ASX/News Release

AVITA Medical Half-Year Financial Report for Fiscal 2020

Valencia, Calif., USA, and Melbourne, Australia, 19 February 2020— AVITA Medical Limited (ASX: AVH, NASDAQ: RCEL), a regenerative medicine company with a technology platform positioned to address unmet medical needs in therapeutic skin restoration, announced that it filed today with the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) its Appendix 4D – Half-Year Report for the six month period ended 31 December 2019.

Revenues of RECELL^® System for First Six Month Period Ended 31 December 2019

Product sales and other revenues for the six months ended 31 December 2019 were as follows (unaudited):


(In thousands of Australian Dollars)	Six Months Ended 31 December
	2019		2018
U.S. product sales	A$	9,274	A$	1,102
International product sales		410		711

Total product sales		9,684		1,813
Other income (including BARDA)		3,846		5,113

Total revenue	A$	13,530	A$	6,926

“We continue to be pleased with early RECELL System utilization as we progress our “go deep” strategy within thein-patient burn setting. We are focused on driving incremental growth within existing accounts, together with broadening our commercial footprint via the addition of 25 burns centers throughout calendar 2020. Early 2020 sales performance has highlighted the commitment of burn specialists to the RECELL System, particularly among our group of super users,” said Dr. Mike Perry, AVITA Medical’s Chief Executive Officer. “With our strong balance sheet, buoyed by our successful financing in November, we are also exploring opportunities to advance our existing clinical programs as well as potentially commencing additional late-stage studies where we believe we have achieved a significant level ofde-risking via our substantive body of clinical evidence and peer-reviewed publications. As an example, we will be working with the FDA to explore the possibility of using an adaptive pivotal study design for vitiligo in place of, or adjunctive to, the currently approved IDE in this indication. We plan to provide updates on these opportunities over the next few months.”

U.S. RECELL System Update

2020 is off to a pleasing start with consistent demand for the RECELL System, especially among our super users, and notwithstanding the 43rd Annual Boswick Burn & Wound Symposium being held in late January and our National Sales Meeting (“NSM”) being held in early February. At our NSM, we spent a significant amount of time consulting with our burns surgeons, including our most experienced users, with a view to improving on best practices for use of the RECELL System. These activities included a specific focus around optimal usage and teaching methodology for the RECELL System, with a particular focus on the use of the RECELL System with smaller burns and as a standalone therapy.

These efforts, and our broader efforts to promote awareness of the RECELL System, will extend into the forthcoming Annual Meeting of the American Burn Association which will be held in Orlando, Florida,17-20 March. At this meeting, there will be 8+ presentations highlighting RECELL focused on decreased length of stay, cost savings, use on small burns, and other potential uses.

Looking ahead, we will also be attending financial conferences to further educate investor and analyst audiences about RECELL and the potential of the platform. To this end, we will be attending the Cowen Annual Healthcare Conference in Boston, Massachusetts, 4 March. Our presentation will be webcast and a link to the audio track and the presentation will be available on our website, athttps://avitamedical.com/investors.

Market Acceleration / Expansion Update

Our goal of expanding utilization of the RECELL System to 25 new burns centers during the 2020 calendar year (CY 2020) is well underway, with two new centers ordering as of the end of January. While the rate ofin-patient burn admissions is inherently variable, we are confident that site expansion and our broader RECELL System usage will result in incremental revenue growth across the entirety of CY 2020. Consistent with this goal, we are keenly focused on our “go deep” strategy of (1) broadening our burn utilization from large, full thickness, wounds, or “big burns,” to the much higher incidence of smaller or partial thickness burns which is consistent with usage patterns demonstrated by our most experienced burn specialists; and (2) educating and training other burn surgeons within our customer base.

The nearest term opportunity we are advancing is in trauma and soft tissue injuries where, similar to the burn market, surgeons graft skin to repair defects from accidents (e.g. degloving, lacerations, gun shots, etc.). In 2019 September, we secured an investigational device exemption (IDE) to pursue FDA approval for soft tissue reconstruction (i.e. trauma) and we presently have three sites screening patients with our first patient expected shortly. This study will assess the safety and effectiveness of the RECELL System in a minimum of 65 trauma patients. In addition, we are pursuing incremental reimbursement avenues within theout-patient setting as we believe this will be important to support adoption of the RECELL System.

Within the broader “burn market,” we are also seeking FDA approval for a pediatric scald indication. We have FDA investigational device exemptions for our two pediatric scalds studies and plan to commence these studies soon, with enrollment slated to start inmid-2020.

As previously disclosed, in late December 2019, we received FDA IDE approval for a feasibility study with 10 vitiligo patients to primarily determine the optimal concentration of the cell suspension prepared using the RECELL System. While we remain committed to the10-patient, single-site pilot study, we are presently considering adaptive trial designs that could lead to an acceleration of the commencement of a full pivotal study for the RECELL System in vitiligo. Our depth of clinical experience with patients internationally makes us confident that such a strategy would address this unmet need, have a high likelihood of success, and could allow us to get our technology to patients more quickly and efficiently.

We are also continuing to explore large opportunities for the RECELL System as a delivery platform to help address cellular and genetic disorders. As previously disclosed, we entered into a sponsored research agreement with the Gates Center for Regenerative Medicine at the University of Colorado in November 2019. This relationship is focused onproof-of-concept and development of aspray-on treatment of genetically modified cells for patients with the genetic skin disease epidermolysis bullosa (EB), with potential applicability to other genetic skin disorders. It is early days in this program, but we are hopeful of firstin-human studies commencing in the middle or second half of 2021. In parallel, we are well-advanced with discussions to secure a rejuvenation application for the RECELL System and hope to have further details available in the middle of this year.

Lastly, with our successful capital raising in November 2019, we have additional resources that may allow us to advance into a potential FDA registration study in an area where we have existing strong, and deep, clinical evidence. These opportunities are all presently underre-assessment, and we hope to provide more clarity, including details regarding the potential commencement of an additional registration study, on some of these opportunities over the coming months.

Further information on AVITA’s current and future opportunities may be found in our recent operating review contained in the ASX Appendix 4C, dated 31 January 2020, together with the Company’s revised corporate presentation which was lodged with the ASX today

Half-Year Fiscal 2020 Financial Results (Unaudited)

A copy of the Appendix 4D – Half-Year Report for the six months ended 31 December 2019 is attached. A summary of the financial results for the half year are as follows:

Page 3

The increase in current-year sales occurred in the U.S. as a result of the commencement of the U.S. national market launch of the RECELL System in January 2019. Gross margin for the half-year ended 31 December 2019 was 76% compared to 69% for the same period in 2018, and the company expects gross margins to improve as sales ramp up within the U.S. market. BARDA income declined as a result of wind-down of certain activities associated with supporting the U.S. FDA approval of the RECELL System as well as the compassionate use and continued access programs. As the result of investments in commercial, manufacturing, and system capabilities to support the continued growth of the RECELL System in the U.S. market and related initiatives, operating costs and net loss for the half-year ended 31 December 2019 increased compared to the same period in the prior year.

During the six months ended 31 December 2019, the Company completed an institutional placement in which it issued 203,389,831 shares at a price of A$0.059 per share and received gross proceeds of A$120,000,000. The cash and cash equivalents balance at 31 December 2019 was approximately $124.7 million.

Authorized for release by the Chief Executive Officer of Avita Medical Limited.

ABOUT AVITA MEDICAL LIMITED

AVITA Medical is a regenerative medicine company with a technology platform positioned to address unmet medical needs in burns, chronic wounds, and aesthetics indications. AVITA Medical’s patented and proprietary collection and application technology provides innovative treatment solutions derived from the regenerative properties of a patient’s own skin. The medical devices work by preparing a REGENERATIVE EPIDERMAL SUSPENSION^™ (RES^™), an autologous suspension comprised of the patient’s skin cells necessary to regenerate natural healthy epidermis. This autologous suspension is then sprayed onto the areas of the patient requiring treatment.

AVITA Medical’s first U.S. product, the RECELL^® System, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in September 2018. The RECELL System is indicated for use in the treatment of acute thermal burns in patients 18 years and older. The RECELL System is used to prepareSpray-On Skin^™ Cells using a small amount of a patient’s own skin, providing a new way to treat severe burns, while significantly reducing the amount of donor skin required. The RECELL System is designed to be used at the point of care alone or in combination with autografts depending on the depth of the burn injury. Compelling data from randomized, controlled clinical trials conducted at major U.S. burn centers and real-world use in more than 8,000 patients globally, reinforce that the RECELL System is a significant advancement over the current standard of care for burn patients and offers benefits in clinical outcomes and cost savings. Healthcare professionals should read the INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE—RECELL^® Autologous Cell Harvesting Device (https://recellsystem.com/) for a full description of indications for use and important safety information including contraindications, warnings and precautions.

In international markets, our products are marketed under the RECELL System brand to promote skin healing in a wide range of applications including burns, chronic wounds and aesthetics. The RECELL System isTGA-registered in Australia and receivedCE-mark approval in Europe.

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Avita Medical Limited (“the Company”), together with our subsidiaries Avita Medical Americas, LLC, Avita Medical Europe Limited, Visiomed Group Pty Ltd, C3 Operations Pty Ltd and Infamed Pty Ltd (collectively “the Group”), is a regenerative medicine company with a technology platform designed to address unmet medical needs in patients with burns, chronic wounds, and aesthetics indications. Our patented and proprietary collection and application technology provides innovative treatment solutions derived from the regenerative properties of a patient’s own skin. Our lead product, the RECELL^® System, uses a small amount of a patient’s own skin to prepareSpray-On Skin Cells at the point of care in as little as 30 minutes. This autologous suspension of skin cells is then sprayed onto the areas requiring treatment.

The RECELL System, was approved for sale in the U.S. for the treatment of acute thermal burns in patients 18 years and older by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in September 2018. We initiated our U.S. national market launch of the RECELL System in January 2019, although the Company did commence commercial shipments in the U.S. during the half-year ended 31 December 2018 in response topre-launch demand from certain burn centres. During the half-year ended 31 December 2019, the RECELL System was also sold on a limited basis in certain regions of the world in which the products were approved for sale, including Australia, China and Europe.

Sale of goods of the RECELL System totalled A$9,684,214 for the half-year ended 31 December 2019, an increase of A$7,871,019 or 434% over the A$1,813,195 recognized during the same period in 2018. The increase in current-year sales occurred in the U.S. as a result of the commencement of the U.S. national market launch of the RECELL System in January 2019. U.S. sales during the six months ended 31 December 2019 totalled A$9,274,060 compared to A$1,101,991 in the prior year. Gross margin for the half-year ended 31 December 2019 was 76% compared to 69% for the same period in 2018, and management expects gross margins to improve as sales ramp up within the U.S.

Other revenue totalled A$3,845,573 for the half-year ended 31 December 2019, a decrease of A$1,267,190 or 25% over the A$5,112,763 recognized during same period in 2018. As in prior periods, the majority of other revenue consisted of funding from the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), under the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, under ongoing USG Contract No. HHSO100201500028C. Under the BARDA contract, income of A$3,549,020 was recognized during the half-year ended 31 December 2019 compared to income of A$5,009,137 during the same period in 2018. The decrease was the result of wind-down of certain activities associated with supporting the U.S. FDA approval of the RECELL System as well as the compassionate use and continued access programs.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

REVIEW AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

As the result of investments in commercial, manufacturing, research and development and related initiatives, operating costs increased during the half-year ended 31 December 2019. Sales and marketing expenses totalled A$10,338,441, an increase of A$3,407,200 or 49% over the A$6,931,241 recognized during same period in 2018. The increase was primarily attributed to the recruitment, hiring and training of U.S. sales force and the associated product launch, sales and marketing materials and activities. Product development expenses totalled A$7,039,601 a decrease of A$40,441 or 1% over the A$7,080,042 recognized during same period in 2018. Corporate and administrative expenses totalled A$9,298,049 an increase of A$2,432,799 or 35% over the A$6,865,250 recognized during same period in 2018. The increase was primarily due to higher legal and staffing costs. Total operating costs for the half-year ended 31 December 2019 totalled A$32,184,528, a A$10,249,494 or 47% increase over the A$21,935,034 recognized during same period in the prior year and were in line with management expectations.

Net comprehensive loss after tax for the half-year ended 31 December 2019 was A$23,755,659, a $9,550,412 or 67% increase compared to A$14,205,247 incurred in the same period in the prior half-year. The increase in net loss was driven by the higher operating costs described above, partially offset by the higher sale of goods during the six months. As a result of the national launch of the RECELL System in the U.S. in January 2019, and the expansion of research and development, operating costs will increase in future periods. These expenses are expected to be partially offset by increased commercial sales of goods as well as income under the BARDA contract.

During the half year ended 31 December 2019, net cash provided by the issuance of shares under institutional placements of shares to Australian and international institutional and sophisticated investors was $111,938,578. Cash and cash equivalents held at 31 December 2019 was $124,658,116.

NOTES TO THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

1.	BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a)	Basis of Preparation

This general purpose condensed financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2019 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34Interim Financial Reporting and theCorporations Act 2001. The Group is afor-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. The Parent Company’s functional and presentation currency is Australian dollars (A$).

This half-year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the full financial report.

It is recommended that this half-year financial report be read in conjunction with the Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2019 and considered together with all public announcements made by Avita Medical Limited in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX listing rules.

This half-year financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the Group for the purposes of preparation of these interim financial statements. Certain items on the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes for the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

b)	New standards adopted as at 1 July 2019

The Group has adopted the new accounting pronouncements which have become effective this year, and are as follows:

IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16Leases replaces IAS 17Leases along with three Interpretations (IFRIC 4Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC 15Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC 27Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease). IFRS 16 has been applied using the modified retrospective approach, with the cumulative effect of adopting IFRS 16 being recognised in equity as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for the current period. Prior periods have not been restated.

For contracts in place at the date of initial application of IFRS 16, the Group has elected to apply the definition of a lease from IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 and has not applied IFRS 16 to arrangements that were previously not identified as lease under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.

The Group has elected not to include initial direct costs in the measurement of theright-of-use asset for operating leases in existence at the date of initial application of IFRS 16, being 1 July 2019. At this date, the Group has also elected to measure theright-of-use assets at an amount equal to the lease liability adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments that existed at the date of transition.

On transition, for leases previously accounted for as operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months and for leases oflow-value assets the Group has applied the optional exemptions to not recogniseright-of-use assets but to account for the lease expense on a straight line basis over the remaining lease term.

For those leases previously classified as finance leases, theright-of-use asset and lease liability are measured at the date of initial application at the same amounts as under IAS 17 immediately before the date of initial application.

On transition to IFRS 16 the weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognised under IFRS 16 was 6.3% (which is the prime rate plus 2%).

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

1.	BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

b)	New standards adopted as at 1 July 2019 (continued)

The following is a reconciliation of total operating lease commitments at 30 June 2019 to the lease liabilities recognised at 1 July 2019:


Operating lease commitments disclosed as at 30 June 2019	A$	1,585,366

Discounted using the lessee’s weighted average incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application	A$	1,362,065
Add: adjustments as a result of a different treatment of extension and termination of options		2,877,034

Lease liabilities recognised as at 1 July 2019	A$	4,239,099

Of which are:
Current lease liabilities	A$	691,119
Non-current lease liabilities		3,547,980

	A$4,239,099

IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment

IASB Interpretation 23 (Interpretation 23) Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment Interpretation 23 clarified the application of the recognition and measurement criteria in IAS 112 Income Taxes where there is uncertainty over income tax treatments and requires an assessment of each uncertain tax position as to whether it is probable that a taxation authority will accept the position. Where it is not probable, the effect of the uncertainty is reflected in determining the relevant taxable profit or loss, tax bases, unused tax losses and unused tax credits or tax rates. The amount is determined as either the single most likely amount or the sum of the probability weighted amounts in a range of possible outcomes, whichever better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty. Judgements are reassessed as and when new facts and circumstances are presented.

Interpretation 23 is effective for the Company’s annual financial reporting period beginning on 1 July 2019. The Company’s existing recognition and measurement accounting policies, together with accounting related judgements, were in alignment with those required by Interpretation 23 and hence no transition adjustment to retained earnings was required. The adoption this standard did not have any impact in the disclosure, or the amounts recognized in the company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Other pronouncements

Other accounting pronouncements which have become effective from 1 July 2019 and have therefore been adopted do not have a significant impact on the Group’s financial results or position.

NOTES TO THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

1.	BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

c)	Significant accounting policies

The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted in the Group’s most recent Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2019, except for the effects of applying IFRS 16.

Leases

As described in Note 1b, the Group has applied IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective approach and therefore comparative information has not been restated. This means comparative information is still reported under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.

Accounting policy applicable from 1 July 2019

For any new contracts entered into on or after 1 January 2019, the Group considers whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A lease is defined as “a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to use an asset (the underlying asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration”. To apply this definition the Group assesses whether the contract meets three key evaluations which are whether:

a.	the contract contains an identified asset, which is either explicitly identified in the contract or implicitly specified by being identified at the time the asset is made available to the Group

b.	the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset throughout the period of use, considering its rights within the defined scope of the contract

c.	the Group has the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of use. The Group assess whether it has the right to direct ‘how and for what purpose’ the asset is used throughout the period of use.

Measurement and recognition of leases as a lessee

At lease commencement date, the Group recognises aright-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. Theright-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is made up of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any initial direct costs incurred by the Group, an estimate of any costs to dismantle and remove the asset at the end of the lease, and any lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date (net of any incentives received).

The Group depreciates theright-of-use assets on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of theright-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The Group also assesses theright-of-use asset for impairment when such indicators exist.

At the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments unpaid at that date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily available or the Group’s incremental borrowing rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are made up of fixed payments (including in substance fixed), variable payments based on an index or rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and payments arising from options reasonably certain to be exercised.

Avita Medical Limited–Half-Year Report December 2019

NOTES TO THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

1.	BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

c)	Significant accounting policies (continued)

Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced for payments made and increased for interest. It is remeasured to reflect any reassessment or modification, or if there are changes inin-substance fixed payments. When the lease liability is remeasured, the corresponding adjustment is reflected in theright-of-use asset, or profit and loss if theright-of-use asset is already reduced to zero.

The Group has elected to account for short-term leases and leases oflow-value assets using the practical expedients. Instead of recognising aright-of-use asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these are recognised as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

On the statement of financial position,right-of-use assets have been included in property, plant and equipment and lease liabilities have been included in trade and other payables.

Accounting policy applicable before 1 July 2019

Finance leases

Management applies judgment in considering the substance of a lease agreement and whether it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased asset. Key factors considered include the length of the lease term in relation to the economic life of the asset, the present value of the minimum lease payments in relation to the asset’s fair value, and whether the Group obtains ownership of the asset at the end of the lease term.

For leases of land and buildings, the minimum lease payments are first allocated to each component based on the relative fair values of the respective lease interests. Each component is then evaluated separately for possible treatment as a finance lease, taking into consideration the fact that land normally has an indefinite economic life.

See the accounting policy note in theyear-end financial statements for the depreciation methods and useful lives for assets held under finance leases. The interest element of lease payments is charged to profit or loss, as finance costs over the period of the lease.

Operating leases

All other leases are treated as operating leases. Where the Group is a lessee, payments on operating lease agreements are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Associated costs, such as maintenance and insurance, are expensed as incurred.

d)	Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

When preparing the Half-year Report, management undertakes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management, and will seldom equal the estimated results.

The judgements, estimates and assumptions applied in the Half-Year Report, including the key sources of estimation uncertainty, were the same as those applied in the Group’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2019.

NOTES TO THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019

1.	BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

e)	Going Concern

These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. During the half-year ended 31 December 2019, the Group has generated a loss for the period of A$20,980,787 (2018: A$15,579,391) and the Group has used cash in operations of A$13,372,547 (2018: A$10,458,479).

On 13 November 2019, the Group completed an institutional placement in which it issued 203,389,831 shares at a price of A$0.059 per share and received gross proceeds of A$120,000,000.

The Group benefits from cash inflows from the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) contracts, the first of which was awarded to the Group in September 2015. These payments from BARDA offset costs from various activities undertaken to support the FDA regulatory approval process for RECELL in the U.S., preparation for the planned commercial launch of RECELL in the U.S., and RECELL clinical programs in the U.S. With the U.S. FDA approval of RECELL for the treatment of acute thermal burns in September 2018, and the subsequent U.S. market launch of the product in January 2019, sales of goods are expected to be an increasing source of revenue in the future. Another potential source of revenue is the BARDA contract line item covering the initial purchase, delivery and storage of the RECELL System in the amount of US$7,594,620 (approximately A$10,300,000).

The Group expects to be utilizing cash reserves until U.S. and international sales of its products in existing and expansion markets eventually reach the level to fund ongoing operations. The Group has historically funded its research and development activities, and more recently its substantial investment in sales and marketing activities, through raising capital by issuing securities in the Company, and it is expected that similar funding will be obtained to provide working capital if and when required. If the Group is unable to raise capital in the future, the Group may need to curtail expenditures by scaling back certain research and development or other programs.

As a result of the above, the directors are satisfied that there is sufficient working capital to support the committed research and development programs and other activities over the next 12 months and the Group has the ability to realize its assets and pay its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Accordingly, the directors have prepared the half-year report on a going concern basis.

4.	OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Group’s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer.

The Chief Executive Officer reviews the financial and operating performance of the business primarily from a geographic perspective. On this basis, management have identified three reportable segments being the Asia Pacific, Europe and Americas including Canada. The Chief Executive Officer monitors the performance of all these segments separately. The Group does not operate in any other geographic segment.

The Chief Executive Officer assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of gross margin and net profit before tax. During thesix-month period to 31 December 2019, there have been no changes from prior periods in the measurement methods used to determine operating segments and reported segment profit or loss.

Unallocated

The following items of income and expense and associated assets are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment:

•

Corporate revenue

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the Members of Avita Medical Limited

Report on the review of the half year financial report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half year financial report of Avita Medical Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated condensed statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019, and the consolidated condensed statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated condensed statement of changes in equity and consolidated condensed statement of cash flows for the half year ended on that date, a description of accounting policies, other selected explanatory notes, and the directors’ declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half year financial report of Avita Medical Limited does not give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2019, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the half year ended on that date, in accordance with theCorporations Act 2001, including complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134Interim Financial Reporting.

Directors’ responsibility for the half year financial report

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and theCorporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half year financial report is not in accordance with theCorporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2019 and its performance for the half year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134Interim Financial Reporting and theCorporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Avita Medical Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
