First Quarter Fiscal 2020 Financial Results (Unaudited)

(All amounts are in thousands of AUD except where noted)

A copy of the Appendix 4C - Quarterly Cash Flow Report for the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the quarter ended 30 September 2019, is attached. Operations for the quarter were focused primarily on the U.S. national adoption of the RECELL System for the treatment of acute thermal burns, and the preparation and implementation of further clinical development of the RECELL System.

During the quarter ended 30 September 2019, total cash receipts were A$5,237, an increase of A$197 or 4% compared to the prior quarter ended 30 June 2019. Cash receipts from customers for the quarter ended 30 September 2019 were A$4,079, an increase of A$565 or 16% compared to the prior quarter due to increased sales in the U.S. Cash received from BARDA during the current quarter totalled A$1,158, a decrease of A$368 or 24% compared to the prior quarter. 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 Compassionate Use and Continued Access programs. Through 30 September 2019, cumulative payments of A$27.9 million have been received under the BARDA contract.

Overall payments for operating expenses decreased during the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as a result of the timing of planned initiatives set forth by the Company. During the quarter ended 30 September 2019, payments related to sales and marketing, staffing, administrative and corporate costs for the current quarter totalled A$9,535, a A$3,491 or 27% decrease compared to the quarter ended 30 June 2019 driven by the timing of planned initiatives. During the quarter ended 30 September 2019, payments related to product manufacturing and operating costs totalled A$1,344, a A$308 or 30% increase compared to the quarter ended 30 June 2019. The increase was directly related to the increase in sales during the current quarter. During the quarter ended 30 September 2019, payments for research and development costs totalled A$1,300, a A$129 or 9% decrease compared to the quarter ended 30 June 2019. The decrease was a result of the timing of research and development initiatives as well as the Compassionate Use and Continued Access programs. As a result of the national launch of the RECELL System in the U.S. in January 2019, payments for operating expenses are expected to increase in future quarters. These expense payments are expected to be partially offset by receipts from customers and receipts under the BARDA contract.

Total net cash used in operating activities during the quarter ended 30 September 2019 was A$7,037, a A$3,393 or 33% decrease compared to the quarter ended 30 June 2019 driven primarily by timing of planned initiatives. Cash and cash equivalents held at 30 September 2019 was A$22,656.

Future cash requirements will be dependent upon the success of AVITA Medical’s efforts to commercialize the RECELL System, particularly in the U.S., and the timing and magnitude of clinical and other research and development programs the Company elects to undertake to expand its product pipeline. Until such time that the Company generates sufficient cash flow from operations, it expects to fund its future cash requirements through a combination of current cash resources, and potentially the issuance of shares and debt financing.

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 prepare Spray-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 is TGA-registered in Australia and received CE-mark approval in Europe.
