It has been a while since the company gave an update so I’m just reviewing my #NCYT investment thesis.

Key takeaways from recent updates:

1) Debt free, cash rich

Cash at 30 June was £18 million even after significant investment to meet demand and after paying down all debt
2) Strong demand, growing sales

Demand for the Company’s COVID-19 test remains strong, with June sales of £22.5 million showing the sixth consecutive month of growth. Certain contracts have also been extended into the second half of the year and in some cases into 2021

3) USA partner securing significant sales

The Company has signed a major distribution agreement for its COVID-19 test with a new global strategic partner. The US is delivering significant sales growth for Novacyt

4) Launch of near patient testing

Launch of near-patient (mobile) testing, which we already know have been widely trialled by the NHS and in care homes

#NCYT
5) 2-gene test about to launch

To address markets employing this testing approach. Launch expected no later than September 2020.

This will be a sentiment changer for French investors.

6) Respiratory panel development

Development of a respiratory testing panel to diagnose and distinguish between influenza A&B, RSV and COVID-19.

We now know this is something the UK government is specifically looking for.

There are many other reasons (FDA SalivaDirect compatibility, directors buying at £3, antibody test development, etc.) but the ones above are key to showing where revenue is headed.

#NCYT will have made a new high before the end of 2020.
