SYDNEY Australia, 24 April 2025 – Atomo Diagnostics Limited (ASX: AT1) (Atomo) is
pleased to release its Appendix 4C and quarterly activity report for the three months ended 31
March 2025 (Q3 FY25).
HIV Self-Test Business Growth:
Atomo continues to see growth in its HIV Self-Test product in developed markets where it
enjoys improved margins (when compared to early adoption in global health markets).
The company received a sizable order recently as part of the national scale up of the
CONNECT Programme, to provide free HIV self-tests through Vending Machines across
Australia. The initiative, funded by the Federal Government in the May Budget 2024, marks a
significant step forward in the use of HIV Self-Testing by public health and reflects an
increasing use of at-home testing to cost effectively address public health challenges. Thorne
Harbour Health (THH) have placed an order for Atomo HIV tests worth ~$230k to support
initial scale up of the program nationally. This program represents a significant expansion of
vending machine access to free HIV self-tests, a key pillar of the Federal Government’s selftest 2024 budget commitment and is in addition to and separate from the “MyTest” Vending
Machine rollout now underway by the Ministry of Health NSW across the State.
Atomo’s HIV Self-Test has been registered for import into New Zealand with the launch of the
product commencing this month through Chemist Warehouse, the biggest retail pharmacy
chain in New Zealand.

Atomo executed a partnership with Symbion, a division of EBOS Group and Australia’s largest
pharmaceutical wholesaler. This agreement means Atomo’s HIV test is available through both
leading national wholesalers — Symbion (EBOS) and API. With coverage to a potential 3,900
pharmacy stores in the Symbion network, many of whom are not covered under the API
channel, nearly every pharmacy across Australia can now order our HIV Self-Test directly
through their preferred wholesaler, with supported next-day delivery in most cases.
Active Syphilis Test – Funded Development and Licencing Agreements now in place:
Atomo previously executed a $2.44 million Cooperative Research Centres Projects (CRC-P)
grant with the Commonwealth Government in late 2024, receiving an initial grant payment of
$485k in December 2024 and a further payment of $485k in March 2025. Funds have allowed
Atomo and Burnet to progress analytical testing now ongoing to establish performance claims
for the test and support commercial discussion with potential channel partners.
To support commercial engagement with potential partners, the company signed an exclusive
licensing agreement with the Burnet Institute for their novel rapid Syphilis test assay. This
agreement enables Atomo to commercialise the test on its Pascal cassette and allows the
company to now seek commercial partners for key international markets as well as supporting
conversations with our existing channel partners already selling the Atomo HIV test.
Atomo amends agreement for supply of Pascal cassettes to Lumos for FebriDx:
Atomo has amended its exclusive supply agreement with Lumos Diagnostics (ASX: LDX)
(Lumos), for Pascal cassettes utilised by Lumos for their FebriDx rapid point-of-care test
product, with the new agreement to remain in effect until 30 June 2031. The new agreement
will see Lumos make initial IP licence exclusivity payments totalling US$180k (A$300k) to
Atomo during calendar year 2025. The agreement also commits Lumos to purchase annual
volumes of Pascal, to secure ongoing exclusivity arrangements for the Pascal cassette’s use
with FebriDx, with a shortfall fee mechanism agreed if annual volumes are not met.
Beyond the initial IP licence fee payment, the agreement has committed revenues total
US$3.4m (A$5.35m), based on FebriDx securing CLIA waived status from the FDA in the US
market, following the trial that Lumos is currently conducting. In the event that FebriDx is
unsuccessful in securing CLIA wavier status for FebriDx, committed revenues are reduced to
~US$1.8m (A$3.0m) over the life of the agreement.
New Product Initiatives
Atomo continues to work on adapting its proven capabilities and existing IP to seek to address
new diagnostic markets and expand the adoption of Atomo rapid test technology into adjacent
markets where we believe our solutions can help address unmet needs.
Florey - Clip in blood test device (Under development): This device, which is still
under development, incorporates Atomo’s blood collection and transfer system with its
proprietary blister delivery technology to provide improved levels of usability and
accuracy to a standard rapid blood test.
Unlike Pascal, which incorporates the existing test strip directly into the cassette,
Florey is designed to accept a standard cassette and allows the test to be completed
by the Atomo device. By not having the test directly onboard the device itself, Florey
could become an accessory to the approved standard test. This makes it suitable for
adoption by tests already approved and commercialised in market, as the regulatory
barriers to adoption of Atomo’s technology are significantly reduced.
Because the existing test cassette used with Florey can subsequently be removed, the
device supports tests that need to be read in a desktop reader (a significant advantage,
particularly in the US market where readers are very common in professional settings)
Financials
Total revenue & grant income (unaudited) of $1.02m for Q3 FY25, comprising $440k for HIV
test sales, and Pascal (OEM) sales of $230k, with the remaining amount from development &
other fees & grant income of $350k; bringing total revenue & grant income for first three
quarters of FY25 to ~$3.1m, representing a 27% growth in the comparative period.
Operating costs for Q3 YTD were $5.2m (unaudited) compared to equivalent costs of $5.6m
for comparative YTD Q3 FY24 period, representing a reduction of 8% in Operating costs for
the comparative period, and reflecting the company’s continued focus on managing costs with
further reductions in business costs being implement in the coming months.
Cash receipts during the quarter were ~$1.3m, made up of $828k from customer receipts and
$485k for CRC-P grant payment for active syphilis test, with Atomo finishing the quarter debtfree and with cash on hand of $1.97m.
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 4.7C.3, Atomo advises that an amount of $195k was
paid during the quarter to Atomo Directors in salary and director’s fees.

•
Expansion into new pharmacies in Australia and through distributors internationally.
•
Secure additional distribution partners in certain geographies in Europe
•
Lobby for HIVST- PrEP confirmation testing in Australia & UK

Secure go to market channels partners and supply agreements in advance of
regulatory approvals to help de-risk product commercialisation.
Grow OEM Sales Channels:
•
Establish market demand for customer interest for Pascal in US pending CLIA waiver
of Lumos’s FebriDx test on Pascal, targeted for H1 FY26
•
