FY23 Progress
I am pleased with the solid progress made by the Company over the last financial year. The benefits of focussing 
on the core pain and respiratory franchises are becoming evident.

Following the successful capital raise a year ago and completion of the primary investment phase, we’re 
managing the cash resources of the company very closely.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT  

The Company continues to deliver strong revenue growth, with good momentum in underlying demand in all key 
markets.

Following careful assessments, we have altered course in France and China to reflect on-ground realities. We 
believe that both changes will support our pathway to operational cash break-even.

AUDITOR'S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION  

The auditor's independence declaration is included on page 17. 

To complement our growing strength in international markets, the US market entry planning is progressing well. 
The prize is substantial, but careful navigation is needed.

The Board has worked hard with management to strengthen our corporate governance systems over the year. We 
have implemented substantial changes to our remuneration arrangements to help drive the delivery of strategy 
and shareholder value. This includes changes to the remuneration arrangements for the CEO (subject to, in part, 
shareholder approval). Our senior executive team now all have an equity component in their short-term incentive 
arrangements and have transitioned to new long term incentive arrangements which more strongly align to 
shareholder interests.

ROUNDING 

The Company is a company of a kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 
2016/191 dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Corporate Instrument, amounts in the Directors’ Report and 
financial report are rounded to the nearest $1,000, unless otherwise stated. 

Board Changes
Dr Russell Basser was appointed to the Board on 1 September 2023. Dr Basser is a qualified physician, with 
over 30 years of international medical and biopharmaceutical experience. He also has substantial expertise 
in international drug and vaccine development, having held multiple global executive roles in medical and 
clinical fields at CSL, including several years based in the US. On behalf of the Board, I welcome Russell and the 
experience he brings to the Company.

On behalf of the directors 

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors made pursuant to s. 298(2) of the Corporations Act 2001: 

After 20 years as a non-executive director of the Company, David Williams left the Board in April 2023 to 
focus on other personal and business interests. David has been instrumental in building the Company and his 
thoughtful transition of the Chair role to me was invaluable. On behalf of my fellow Directors, I thank David for his 
remarkable contribution to the Company as well as the continuing support he provides as our lead shareholder.

Thank You
On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you to Brent and to the entire 
Medical Developments team who have performed well during the year.

Importantly, we thank you, our shareholders, for your continued 
support as we transform into a global healthcare company.

CEO Update

3

FY23 has been an encouraging year, with continued momentum in our Pain Management and Respiratory 
segments. Improved volumes and pricing in both segments have delivered strong revenue and margin growth 
over the year. We have a strong leadership team in place to help execute our growth strategy and to continue to 
build a positive culture. I am proud of our achievements and look forward to continued success in FY24.

The Company confirmed it would seek funding from one or more partner organisations to fund US market entry. 
An experienced adviser has been appointed to support the search.

Overall, I am very encouraged by our progress and look forward to the next stage of our Company’s growth.

Outlook
The Company expects underlying EBIT in FY24 to improve on the prior year, driven by:

•  Higher Penthrox volumes in Australian hospital emergency departments;

•  Share growth in the Respiratory segment; and

• 

Incremental margin improvements of $6 million from pricing and efficiency.

Thank You
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders for their continued investment in the Company and 
to thank the Board of Directors for their support as we continue to grow the Company and drive execution of our 
strategy.

I am excited about our future, and I look forward to updating you on our progress in the year ahead.

Brent MacGregor Chief Executive Officer

Group Performance
Group revenue was up 47% on the pcp at $32.3 million.

The Pain Management segment delivered revenue growth of 54%, with higher volumes and improved pricing. 
In Australia, volumes were up 6%, with solid demand from the ambulance sector, and growing penetration in 
hospital emergency departments procedural segments. In Europe, overall demand was stronger despite a 
challenging economic backdrop. Volumes in France were up 33%, the UK and Ireland were up 34%, while the 
Nordics, Central Europe, Switzerland and Belgium all delivered encouraging growth. Volumes into other markets 
were up almost three-fold, driven primarily by inventory stocking for the relaunch of Penthrox in Canada.

Revenue in the Respiratory segment was up 43%, a strong result that reflects continued market share growth, 
particularly in the US, and solid underlying demand.

Gross margin was improved by $5.4 million driven by volume growth and higher pricing.

Underlying EBIT for the period was a loss of $18.3 million, $3.6 million unfavourable to the prior year, driven by 
higher costs associated with the Company’s capability build. This includes investment in the Australian Penthrox 
field team, increased commercial resources in Respiratory, and enhanced leadership and functional capability. 
The Company’s primary investment phase is now complete and will continue to drive volume and margin growth 
in future periods.

Strategy 
The Company’s nearer term strategic focus is to increase the penetration of Penthrox in existing markets, and to 
continue to grow its Respiratory segment through market share gains, particularly in the US. Longer term, the 
Çompany seeks to enter new and attractive markets for Penthrox, with particular focus on the US.

During the year, foundations were established to support the penetration of Penthrox into the Australian hospital 
emergency departments. This included a field sales team, medical scientific liaison support, and the launch of 
a new marketing campaign to support the positioning of Penthrox in the emergency department setting which 
accounts for 45% of the addressable market in Australia. In this setting, Penthrox offers compelling advantages. 
The team have already made progress in working with hospitals and buying groups to list Penthrox on hospital 
protocols and formularies in all states.

In France, we delivered 33% growth in Penthrox volume against a challenging backdrop, with volume for the year 
at 65,000 units. In light of operating conditions and slower than planned growth, market development investment 
in France has been scaled back. Despite the near-term challenges, France remains a key growth opportunity over 
the longer term. While we reassess our go-to-market approach, supply to our more than 300 existing customers 
will be maintained and supported through agents in the region alongside enhanced support in our Melbourne 
head office.

The Company works with partners for the sale of Penthrox in over 20 markets globally. Strong engagement with 
these partners will be a key driver of future growth. In the period, the Company’s newest partner successfully 
relaunched Penthrox in Canada, and we saw encouraging growth in underlying demand in all partner markets.

During the period we discontinued the clinical trial program in China. This followed extended delays due to COVID 
and the challenging regulatory environment in China. It was unlikely we would reach a commercial outcome here. 
A careful resolution of the situation has preserved our strategic optionality in this region and allowed us to direct 
resources to other priorities which have greater capacity to generate shareholder value in the nearer term.

This includes entry into the US, which will be transformational for the Company and is our primary strategic focus. 
A comprehensive market assessment on the commercial opportunity for Penthrox in the US was completed in 
the period. This assessment identified a large and attractive opportunity for Penthrox, with in-market revenue 
potential of between US$300 million and US$400 million five years post launch.

Revenue for the period of $32.3 million was 47.4% higher than the pcp.   

Revenue in the Pain Management segment was up 54.1% driven by higher volumes in all markets and improved 
pricing, particularly in Australia.  

Revenue and in-market volumes in Europe were up 39%, with volume in France up 33% against a challenging 
operating backdrop, and volume in the UK and Ireland up 34%, illustrating encouraging growth momentum.  
Strongly improved revenue in the 2nd half reflects the recognition of deliveries deferred from the 1st half.  
Revenue in Australia was up 30%, reflecting volume growth of 6% and higher prices.  Revenue from Rest of World 
countries was strongly improved, up 141%, reflecting a significant uplift in volume from inventory stocking for 
the  relaunch of Penthrox in Canada and growth in Middle East, South Africa and Asia.  Milestone income was $0.8 
million.  

Revenue in the Respiratory segment was up 42.6%, with strong volume growth in all markets, particularly the 
USA, supported by market share gains, a higher prevalence of respiratory conditions during winter, and the pass-
through of inflationary impacts in pricing.

Contract termination revenue in the period relates to the termination of agreements for the distribution of 
Penthrox in China ($18.5 million), and other countries where revenue opportunities are not being pursued ($0.4 
million).

Note: Underlying EBITDA and Underlying EBIT as defined on page 16, are non-IFRS financial measures used by 
management to assess the performance of the business. Refer to Note 1.1 of the consolidated financial report for 
a reconciliation of Group Underlying EBITDA and Group Underying EBIT by segment.

Net loss after tax was $5.6 million, improved on a loss after tax of $12.4 million in the pcp. Underlying EBIT was 
$18.3 million loss, down 24% on the pcp ($14.7 million loss). 

Underlying EBIT benefitted from higher volumes in both the Pain Management and Respiratory segments and 
higher Penthrox margins, driven by growth in direct market sales and improved pricing.  This partly offset costs 
relating to the Company’s capability build, including the Australian Penthrox field team, commercial resources in 
Respiratory, and leadership and functional resources.  These resources are driving the delivery of the Company’s 
growth strategy.

Depreciation and amortisation was up $0.2 million on the pcp.

Underlying adjustments were a net $10.3 million gain in the period, including:

•  Contract termination revenue arising from the termination of agreements for the distribution of Penthrox in 

China ($18.5 million), and other countries where revenue opportunities are not being pursued ($0.4 million).

• 

Impairment of capitalised registration costs following the cessation of market activities in China of $5.7 
million, and an additional $0.9 million in other countries where revenue opportunities are not being pursued. 
There was also a $0.1 million impairment in relation to patents and trademarks.

•  Costs to complete a comprehensive assessment of the commercial potential for Penthrox in the US ($1.9 

million) which are not of a capital nature.

12

Underlying adjustments of $1.2 million loss in the prior period related to:

• 

Impairment losses recognised following the Group’s decision to discontinue the Veterinary business ($0.6 
million).

•  Finalisation costs for the CSIRO Continuous Flow technology program ($0.6 million).

Further detail on revenue and earnings in each of the Group’s operating segments is contained in the Review of 
Operations.

Net cash flows used in investing activities
Payments for property, plant and equipment were $1.8 million for the period, an increase of $0.6 million versus 
the pcp, mostly related to the Company’s manufacturing operations.  

Payments for other intangible assets were $5.9 million, mostly related to trials and market registration activities 
in the UK, USA and China (China now discontinued) and development of the next generation inhaler (“Selfie”).

Proceeds from the issue of shares (net of costs)
In August 2022 the Company successfully raised $28.4 million net of costs through a fully underwritten placement 
and entitlement offer.

Net change in cash for the year was a $4.3 million increase. In August 2022 the Company undertook a successful 
capital raise, which increased cash reserves by approximately $28.4 million.  This has been partly offset by 
operating and investing activities as detailed in the Cashflow above. 

Trade and other receivables increased $2.8 million, reflecting timing of customer deliveries and collections, with 
payment for several large deliveries late in FY23 not yet due.  Inventories increased $1.3 million, reflecting higher 
overall volumes and the trajectory of growth in both the Pain Management and Respiratory segments.  Inventory 
as a percent of revenue was improved on the prior year. 

The decrease in property plant and equipment and intangible assets of $1.8 million includes additions of $8.0 
million, offset by depreciation and amortisation of $3.1 million and impairments of $6.7 million.

The increase in trade and other payables of $4.8 million includes $0.8 million for capital accruals, $1.9 million 
for a comprehensive assessment of the commercial potential for Penthrox in the US, $0.8 million for contract 
termination costs in France following the scale down of investment in light of market conditions, and $1.3 million 
increase in trade payables relating to inventory purchases, freight and overall business expansion.

The decrease in unearned income relates to the recognition of $18.9m as income following the termination 
of agreements for the distribution of Penthrox in China ($18.5 million), other smaller markets ($0.4 million), 
and amortisation of government grants and milestone income in the period. Unearned income of $2.2 million 
remaining at the end of the period relates to unamortised income received for the distribution of Penthrox in 
Vietnam and Thailand, and Government Grants.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Pain Management
The Pain Management segment is a world leader in the supply of analgesia for acute and procedural pain.  The 
Company manufactures its world leading inhaled analgesic, Penthrox® (the “Green Whistle”), at manufacturing 
facilities at Scoresby and Springvale in Victoria, Australia. Penthrox® is sold into domestic and international 
markets through distribution partnerships and direct in-market capability.

Underlying EBIT for the period was a $12.3 million loss. Earnings benefited from higher volumes and improved 
margins, with higher pricing and growth in direct sales in France having a positive impact.  Costs were higher, 
reflecting investment in a field team in Australia to drive penetration in hospital emergency departments, in line 
with strategy, and higher marketing costs to support growth.

Respiratory
The Respiratory segment is a leading supplier of respiratory products including asthma and COPD (chronic 
obstructive pulmonary disease) space chambers, peak flow meters, portable nebulisers and silicone face masks. 
Respiratory supplies into Australia, the USA, Europe and Asia through partnership with leading distributors.

Revenue for the Respiratory segment was up 42.6% at $11.7 million. A pleasing result that reflects solid market 
share gains, particularly in the USA, stronger partner engagement, and improved underlying demand due to an 
increased prevalence of respiratory conditions during winter.  Pricing was improved, with the pass through of 
inflationary impacts.

Underlying EBIT at $1.3m was improved, reflecting the benefit of higher volumes partly offset by higher costs 
associated with marketing activity to support growth.

Revenue for Pain Management was up 54.1% on the pcp at $20.4 million. 

Revenue in Europe was up 39% at $5.5 million, due mostly to higher volumes, with stronger underlying demand.  
In-market volumes were up 39%, with growth in all markets despite challenging economic conditions throughout 
the period.  

Further progress was made in the Company’s strategy to increase penetration of Penthrox in France, with 
volumes up 33% at 65,000 units.  Momentum was slower than planned, however, impacted by challenging 
operating conditions during the period.  Several emergency departments were closed in key metropolitan areas 
and gaining access to hospitals was difficult.  

Against this backdrop, resources in France have been scaled back.  Contract termination costs of $0.8 million 
associated with withdrawing the field team have been recognised in the period.

Revenue in Australia was up 30% at $9.6 million.  Volumes were up 6%, with solid demand from the ambulance 
sector, growing penetration in hospital emergency departments and growth in procedural segments, particularly 
obstetrics and gynaecology.  Pricing was strongly improved.  During the period, recruitment of an in-market field 
team was completed, and a new Penthrox creative campaign was launched.  Both initiatives will underpin future 
growth beyond the ambulance sector, with a focus on penetrating hospital emergency departments.

Revenue from Rest of World markets was up 141% at $4.6 million, driven by a significant volume uplift from 
inventory stocking for the relaunch of Penthrox in Canada, and growth in the Middle East, South Africa and Asia.

BUSINESS STRATEGY
The Company’s nearer term strategic focus is to 
increase the penetration of Penthrox in existing 
markets, and to continue to grow its Respiratory 
segment through market share gains, particularly 
in the USA.  Longer term, the Çompany seeks to 
enter new and attractive markets for Penthrox, with 
particular focus on the USA.

Execution of strategy in FY23
The Company has made solid progress delivering 
strategy in FY23.  Key outcomes include: 

•  A field team was deployed in Australia to increase 
the penetration of Penthrox in hospital emergency 
departments.

•  Strong partner engagement delivered encouraging 
momentum in partner markets, including the 
relaunch of Penthrox in Canada.

•  Spend in France was scaled back in light of 

challenging operating conditions, reflecting the 
Company’s disciplined management of cash.

•  The paediatric trial in the UK was closed, with 
regulatory submission expected in Q3 FY24.  A 
favourable outcome will expand the label for 
Penthrox in Europe.

•  Clinical trial preparations in China were 

discontinued, preserving cash and enabling 
greater focus on key growth opportunities in 
Australia, Europe and the USA; and

•  US market entry planning was advanced. 
A comprehensive market assessment was 
completed, which identified in-market revenue 
potential of US$300-$400 million for Penthrox 
in the US (5 years post launch).  The Company 
announced it would seek funding for market entry 
through one or more partner organisations.  An 
experienced adviser has been retained to support 
the partner search.  Planning for the clinical 
program progressed.

FY24 priorities
The Company will continue to drive strong momentum 
toward positive operating cashflow in FY25.  Key 
priorities for FY24 include:

• 

• 

Improve margins through pricing and operational 
efficiency.

Increase penetration of Penthrox in Australian 
hospital emergency departments.

•  Complete a reassessment of the go-to-market 

strategy in France.

•  Progress a partner search and finalise clinical 

pathway for US market entry.

•  Drive continued growth in Respiratory.

OUTLOOK
FY24 underlying EBIT
The Company expects underlying EBIT in FY24 to 
improve on the prior year, driven by:

•  Higher Penthrox volumes in Australian hospital 

emergency departments;

•  Share growth in the Respiratory segment; and

• 

Incremental margin improvements of $6 million 
from pricing and efficiency.

FY24 capital expenditure
Capital expenditure in FY24 (including spend on trials 
and market registration activity) is expected to reduce 
to around $5 million.

OTHER EVENTS OF 
SIGNIFICANCE
There has not been any matter or circumstance that 
has arisen that has significantly affected, or may 
significantly affect the operations of the Group, the 
results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the 
Group in future years.

NOTES
(1)  Revenue excludes Contract termination revenue 

arising from the termination of agreements for the 
distribution of Penthrox in China ($18.5 million), 
and other countries where revenue opportunities 
are not being pursued ($0.4 million).

(2)  Underlying EBIT is a non-IFRS financial measure 
which is calculated as earnings before finance 
costs, net of interest income, tax and underlying 
adjustments.

(3)  Underlying EBITDA is a non-IFRS financial 

measure which is calculated as Earnings before 
finance costs, net of interest income, tax, 
depreciation and amortisation and underlying 
adjustments.

(4)  Other comprises the Veterinary business which 
was discontinued during the 2022 financial year 
as well as unallocated costs associated with 
corporate overheads.

(5)  EBITDA in the Net cash flows used in operating 
activities table on page 12 excludes underlying 
adjustments which did not impact cash from 
operations in the period. The payable relating to 
a comprehensive assessment of the commercial 
potential for Penthrox in the US of $1.9 million has 
therefore been excluded from the change in trade 
and other payables.

BUSINESS RISKS
Risk recognition and management are considered by 
the Company as integral to its objectives of creating 
and maintaining shareholder value, and execution of 
the Company’s strategy. Effective risk management 
is key to operational activities and decision-making, 
strategic planning, resource allocation, compliance, 
accountability and good governance. 

The Company operates in a constantly evolving 
environment of science, regulation and healthcare. 
We are exposed to risks inherent in the global 
pharmaceutical and medical devices industry, which 
include research and development, supply chain and 
intellectual property. 

The Company actively manages a range of risks with 
the potential to have a material impact on the Group 
and its ability to achieve its objectives. During the 
reporting period, the Company refreshed its risk 
management framework. It undertook an enterprise 
wide risk profiling process to identify risks and 
opportunities in respect of the Group’s objectives. 
Several risks specific to the operations and objectives 
of the Company were identified, each of which is 
subject to ongoing risk management across the Group. 
The identified risks, which are common to companies 
in the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, 
have been prioritised by the Company in order of risk 
and opportunity impact. These risks, which include 
global trends, have also formed the basis of response 
planning developed during the period. 

While every effort is made to identify and manage 
material risks, additional risks not currently known 
or detailed below may also adversely affect future 
performance. The Company’s principal risks, and an 
explanation of our approach to managing them are 
outlined below, not in any particular order.

Product quality
The Company’s products must meet a wide range 
of regulatory requirements aimed are ensuring the 
quality and efficacy of its products and the safety of 
patients. The Company’s financial performance and 
reputation could be adversely impacted if quality 
requirements are not met. 

In managing this risk, the Company’s manufacturing, 
product quality assurance and pharmacovigilance 
practices serve to deliver the highest standards of 
safety and the preservation of our reputation. We 
adopt and comply with a broad suite of internationally 
recognised standards through our quality management 
system, including good manufacturing practice 
(GMP), good distribution practice (GDP) and audits 
of third-party vendors and suppliers. Our processes 
and procedures also meet good pharmacovigilance 
practice (GPV) and we seek to ensure that product 

information is up-to-date and contains all relevant 
information to assist customers and healthcare 
practitioners to use our products. We are frequently 
inspected by independent regulatory authorities, 
auditing compliance with these standards.

Successful commercialisation 
The Company’s financial performance is dependent on 
its ability to develop and successfully commercialise 
our products. The Company will need to manage and 
optimally develop its operating model to support 
a global expansion. Successful commercialisation 
includes obtaining regulatory approvals, successful 
product launches into new markets, the ability to 
identify and onboard promotional partners, ability to 
use its products in a broader range of approved uses 
and maintaining adequate pricing for products. The 
Company faces risks in respect of its key product, 
Penthrox, including the ability of the Company to drive 
market growth and market penetration in key markets. 

The Company implements short, medium and long 
term strategy and near term objectives that are 
reviewed at least annually. Where appropriate the 
Company has considered a different operating model 
considering commercialisation challenges, particularly 
for key markets such as the US. The Company has 
strengthened its commercialisation prowess via a 
dedicated commercial business unit and global team. 
The Company also manages commercialisation of new 
products or launch in new markets through a cross-
functional sales and operations planning team that 
meet at least monthly.

Financial risk
In addition to the financial impact arising from 
commercialisation risk, there are a variety of risks 
arising from the unpredictability of financial markets, 
including the cost and availability of funds to meet 
business needs and movements in market risks such as 
foreign exchange rates. 

The Company implements financial risk management 
practices by managing exposure to financial risks 
including internal controls and cash flow management. 

Research & development
A potential impediment to delivery on the Company’s 
strategic objectives is the ability to successfully 
achieve capital projects to develop a product pipeline, 
in particular development of the Company’s next 
generation Penthrox device. 

To manage this risk, the Company has a dedicated 
Research & Development function and the Company 
closely monitors progress of development activities. 
The Company also dedicates resources to intellectual 
property protection. 

18

security control environment to prevent significant 
organisational loss of systems, intellectual property 
and clinical data, damage to reputation and/or 
disruption to business. To manage this risk, the 
Company has focused on cyber security training, 
enhanced back up procedures, improved firewall and 
screening mechanisms and will engage a third party 
during FY24 to advise on key risk areas.

Supply chain 
Having a sustainable and reliable supply chain is 
critical to the success of the Company’s objectives, 
particularly to achieving a consistent, economical, 
and efficient supply of its products. The Company is 
reliant on third parties for the manufacture and supply 
of a substantial portion of its products. Disruptions 
to that supply chain, caused by an interruption to 
the availability of a key material or component, may 
result in unexpected disruption or interruption to our 
products. Increases in the costs of raw materials or 
other commodities may adversely affect the Company’s 
profit margins if higher costs cannot be passed on in 
the form of price increases or unless the Company can 
achieve further cost efficiencies in its manufacturing 
and distribution processes.

The Company constantly monitors inventory and 
demand, maintains critical stock levels and seeks, 
where possible, to identify alternate sources of supply. 
Supply of materials were impacted by COVID, requiring 
the Company to implement risk mitigations, including 
increased ordering lead times and increased inventory 
holdings.  Proactive supplier management and 
supplier audits are also important components of the 
Company’s risk mitigation. 

Regulatory and legislative risk 
The Group operates under a broad range of legal, 
regulatory and tax systems. The Company’s financial 
strength may be impacted by specific regulatory 
regimes, changes in regulatory regimes, difficulty 
interpreting or complying with laws. Changes in laws 
and regulations, including their interpretation or 
enforcement, could affect, the Company’s business 
or products. For example, changes in reimbursement 
or accounting standards, tax laws and regulations, 
environmental or climate change laws, restrictions or 
requirements related to product content, labelling and 
packaging.

In managing this risk, the Group has a product 
regulatory compliance framework and a dedicated 
Regulatory team with inhouse expertise. The Company 
has developed and seeks to continuously improve 
its broader regulatory compliance framework. The 
Company is also actively risk managing the impact 
of clinical change regulation and potential impact on 
the supply chain of raw materials. The Group has also 
appointed a lawyer to support the Company.  Group 
legal counsel ensures all personnel have the requisite 
technical qualifications to perform in their role, and 
where required, seeks support from third-party 
advisers with requisite skills and experience.

Cyber risk 
Increasing sophistication of external attackers 
demands an effective and up-to-date cyber

Remuneration in FY24
Building on the FY23 work, a major change to the CEO’s compensation structure was agreed to take effect for 
FY24, subject in part to shareholder approval. The principal objective of the change was to align the CEO’s 
compensation more strongly with the interests of shareholders and increase the CEO’s share ownership.  The 
changes align the “at risk components” of the CEO’s remuneration package (short term and long term incentive 
arrangements) with the structures in place for the rest of the executive team, and expectations of shareholders.  
No changes were made to the CEO’s fixed annual remuneration.

The new structure, detailed in section 3 below, in summary includes:

•  An increase in the CEO’s short term incentive potential from 20% payable in cash to 35% payable in cash and 

shares, with STI rules consistent with those applying to other senior executives.

•  Subject to shareholder approval, an invitation to participate in the LTI, introduced in FY23 for other senior 
executives, with an opportunity of 50% of FAR from FY24.  Participation in the LTI will require forfeiture of 
options granted under the CEO options program, and approval by shareholders of that forfeiture.

•  Termination benefits that align with Corporations Act requirements.

•  Contractual terms that are consistent with the language used for other senior executives.

In transitioning to the new arrangement, the Group will purchase on market shares for the CEO, equivalent 
in value to the CEO’s FY23 STI ($109,725). These shares will be subject to a 1 year holding lock.  The CEO has 
volunteered to purchase additional shares in the Company equivalent in value to the after-tax proceeds of his 
FY23 STI. 

We are confident that these changes considerably strengthen the Company and are in the interests of the 
shareholders.

AUDITED REMUNERATION REPORT

This Remuneration Report forms part of the Directors’ Report.

MESSAGE FROM THE HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE (HRC)
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to present MVP’s Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 
June 2023 (FY23).

The Year in Review
Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Brent MacGregor, the Group delivered the following 
operational achievements:

•  Group revenue growth of 47% driven by improved volumes and higher pricing.

•  Expansion of Penthrox into Australian hospital emergency departments.

•  Strong growth for Penthrox in key partner markets.

•  Spend in France scaled back in light of market conditions.

•  Market share gains in the Respiratory segment.

•  Discontinuation of clinical trials in China.

•  Closure of the UK paediatric trial; submission expected Q3 FY24.

•  Funding award of $1.5 million to support development of the next generation inhaler (“Selfie”).

•  Advancement of US market entry, including the commencement of a partner search to fund the market entry 

program. 

FY23 Executive remuneration outcomes
The CEO performed well for the year.  Performance against target for most objectives approved by the Board 
at the start of the performance year was in line with or above expectation, with the exception being delivery of 
agreed growth outcomes in France.  Delivery of the financial target, measured in terms of Underlying EBIT, was 
in line with expectation.  In recognition of the outcomes achieved in the year, the CEO was awarded 100% of his 
target short term incentive. 

The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Anita James was awarded a short term incentive equal to 100% of target, 
recognising the Company’s achievement of the financial target, and performance in her role.  

A fixed remuneration adjustment of 5% was provided for the CEO, effective 1 September 2022, reflecting inflation 
and performance in FY22. 

Executive remuneration changes in FY23
As foreshadowed in the FY22 report, the HRC has overseen a major overhaul of the executive compensation 
system to more strongly align company executive remuneration practices with the delivery of long-term strategy 
and shareholder interests.

This includes a new short-term incentive plan (STI), which rewards employees on the delivery of both individual 
objectives and overall business performance. In addition, a new long term incentive plan (LTI) is linked to the 
achievement of share price growth over three years. These plans replaced all historic plans and were effective

CEO (FY24): at target 35% of FAR (maximum opportunity of 45.5%), 50% payable in 
cash and 50% as fully paid shares)

CFO: at target 30% of FAR (maximum opportunity of 39%), 50% payable in cash and 
50% as fully paid shares.

Performance 
measures

STI (equity 
component)

Achievement of the group financial targets and business objectives. Business 
objectives include organic business growth, developing and executing a plan for 
entry into the US market, delivering milestones on other strategic projects, and 
building a high-performance culture.

Payable in fully paid ordinary MVP shares.  The number of shares allocated is 
determined by dividing the amount payable in equity by the VWAP of MVP shares 
traded in the 5 trading days following announcement of the Company’s full year 
results.  The shares are subject to a one year holding lock.

2. Executive remuneration framework
The Company’s remuneration framework seeks to appropriately reward, incentivise and retain senior executives 
in alignment with the interests of shareholders. The remuneration framework includes traditional fixed annual 
remuneration components (including base salary, superannuation and other benefits), a STI and a LTI.

The remuneration framework for the Company is detailed below for FY23. Note that changes are anticipated for 
FY24, and these are also detailed below.

Executive Remuneration Framework

Designed to drive Group Strategy and ensure that the interests of senior executives are 
aligned with those of shareholders.

Governing principles of the remuneration framework

Aligns with the Group’s 
purpose, culture and 
strategy

Attracts, retains and 
motivates capable talent

Complies with the 
Group’s performance 
and risk management 
framework

Creation of shareholder 
value

 Reward framework components

Annual remuneration

Short term incentive at 
risk

Long term incentive at risk

Cash salary, superannuation and other 
benefits, that are reviewed on an annual 
basis.

Competitively set to reward, incentivise 
and retain senior executives, reflecting 
the role scope and accountabilities.

Determined based on market 
benchmarking, individual and 
business unit performance and overall 
performance of the Group.  

At risk annual rewards, 
entitlement to which is 
determined by the achievement 
of financial and individual 
goals against targets. These 
rewards align remuneration 
with the achievement of short-
term strategic objectives and 
financial performance.

The STI is measured as a % 
of base salary or fixed annual 
remuneration (the target), with 
payment range between 0% 
and 130% of target.

To strengthen alignment with 
shareholders, the STI is paid 
in cash and equity (50/50) for 
senior executive participants, 
with the equity component 
subject to a 1 year holding lock. 
The CEO will join this STI in 
FY24.

At risk rewards, entitlement to which is based 
on the delivery of agreed shareholder returns 
over an extended period.  These rewards align 
executive remuneration with delivery of long-
term strategy and the creation of shareholder 
wealth.

The Company introduced the LTI in FY23 
for select senior executives which includes 
provision for the allocation of performance rights 
which vest as fully paid ordinary shares on the 
achievement of agreed shareholder returns over 
a 3-year period.

It is anticipated that the CEO will join the LTI 
in FY24 and forfeit options received under the 
CEO options program (subject to shareholder 
approval). 

The CEO’s options program consists of a one-off 
allocation of options granted to the CEO at the 
time of his employment in FY21.  No options 
granted under this program have vested. 

Executive remuneration mix

If proposed changes to the CEO’s remuneration are approved by shareholders, the target remuneration mix 
of the above framework components (assuming short term incentives at target and the face value of long 
term incentives) in FY24 would be as follows:

 CEO

 CFO

54%

67%

9%

9%

28%

10%

10%

13%

Fixed Remuneration

STI cash

STI equity

LTI

The Directors believe that this mix aligns rewards with the interests of our shareholders and drives performance 
against short term and long term business objectives.

32

Long-term incentives

LTI

Overview

The plan consists of performance rights granted annually (for the first time in FY23). Under the plan, 
performance rights were granted to the CFO and select senior executives. Where relevant, all participants 
holding prior LTI incentives have agreed to forfeit them and have transferred to the new LTI. Details in 
relation to performance hurdles, vesting conditions and other terms and conditions are outlined below.   

Overview

33

CEO Options Program

The CEO commenced employment with the Company on 1 November 2020. As part of his remuneration, to 
encourage his long-term commitment to the business, he was invited to participate in a long-term incentive 
plan. Under this plan a sign on allocation (not an annual allocation) of 1,968,704 options over ordinary 
shares was granted to the CEO. All options have a nil exercise price and no entitlement to dividends over the 
vesting period.

Subject to shareholder approval it is anticipated that the CEO will join the LTI in FY24, and forfeit all options 
received under the CEO options program.

Performance 
hurdle

The options are subject to a share price target which commences at the grant date of the option. Following 
the achievement of the share price target, the CEO must complete a service period (as specified above). Each 
tranche vests at the end of the relevant service period. The service period condition is waived if the share 
price hurdle is achieved by the 5th anniversary of the options grant, for example, if the share price hurdle is 
met 4.5 years after grant, the options will vest at the 5th anniversary.

The option issue was divided into four equal tranches, with the vesting criteria for each tranche as follows:

25% vest on the achievement of a $8 daily VWAP for 30 consecutive trading days (vesting is also 
subject to the completion of a 4-year service period from the date of achieving the share price hurdle)

25% vest on the achievement of a $9 daily VWAP for 30 consecutive trading days (vesting is also 
subject to the completion of a 3-year service period from the date of achieving the share price hurdle)

25% vest on the achievement of a $10 daily VWAP for 30 consecutive trading days (vesting is also 
subject to the completion of a 2-year service period from the date of achieving the share price hurdle)

25% vest on the achievement of a $11 daily VWAP for 30 consecutive trading days (vesting is also 
subject to the completion of a 1-year service period from the date of achieving the share price hurdle

Holding lock

Following vesting and exercise, 50% of the shares will be subject to escrow for 24 months. If employment 
ceases for any reason prior to vesting, the unvested options are forfeited.

Instrument

Performance rights

Performance 
period 

The performance period commences on the first day of the current fiscal year and is measured over a three-
year vesting period. The first testing period will be for the year ended 30 June 2025.

The number of performance rights allocated to each KMP is based on the following:

Allocation 
approach

Performance 
hurdle

The fair value of each right reflects the expected value of each right to the participant today, taking into 
consideration the current share price, the performance hurdle (minimum 33% share price growth), vesting 
conditions and the probability of various share price outcomes at the end of the performance period. The fair 
valuation has been performed by an independent valuer.

Vesting of rights is subject to achieving volume weighted average share price (VWAP) growth targets over a 
three-year performance period.

LTI Vesting Schedule

VWAP share price growth at exactly 33%

Vesting %

0%

VWAP share price growth between 33% and 100%

Straight line vesting on a pro rata basis

VWAP share price growth at 100% or above

100%

If no dividends are paid over the 3 year vesting period the minimum performance hurdle would be equivalent 
to delivering total shareholder return of 33%. Target performance would be equivalent to total shareholder 
return of 100%.

Share price growth for the FY23 grant will be measured from a baseline share price of $1.72, being the 
VWAP of shares traded in MVP for the 20-day trading period that commenced 5 trading days after the 
announcement of MVP’s FY22 full year results. The share price testing will take place at the end of the three-
year vesting period and will be based on the VWAP of shares traded in MVP for the 20-day trading period 
commencing 5 trading days after the results announcement in the final year of the vesting period. Testing 
occurs only once, following the year ended 30 June 2025.

Cessation of 
Employment

If an executive resigns or is terminated for cause, any unvested LTI awards will be forfeited, unless 
otherwise determined by the Board. Any such performance rights will be subject to the original terms and 
conditions, and the discretion of the Board.

Rights attaching 
to performance 
rights

Malus and 
Clawback

Performance rights do not carry any dividend or voting entitlements prior to vesting, or priority over any 
creditors of MVP upon liquidation or winding up of MVP. Shares allocated upon vesting of performance rights 
will carry the same rights as other ordinary shares.

At the discretion of the Board LTI awards will be forfeited where there has been any fraud, dishonesty, or 
breach of obligations of the Group policies or codes of conduct.

Change of Control 
Provisions

In the event of change of control, or a scheme of arrangement, selective capital reduction or other 
transaction is initiated which has an effect similar to a full takeover bid for shares in the Company, then 
participants are entitled to accept the takeover bid or participate in the other transaction in respect of all or 
part of their awards other than exempt share awards notwithstanding that the restriction period in respect of 
such awards has not expired. The Board may waive any vesting conditions at their discretion.

STI outcomes
STI awards are measured on the delivery of financial and business objectives approved by the Board at the start 
of the financial year with clear alignment to strategy.

For FY23, the financial objective (EBIT) was delivered in line with expectations.  In determining delivery of the 
EBIT objective, the Board excluded earnings adjustments relating to China in the period.  

Business objectiv es for FY23 included delivering organic business growth, developing and executing a plan for 
entry into the US market, delivering milestones on other strategic projects, and building a high-performance 
culture. Specific disclosure of these objectives, target milestones and achieved outcomes are not included in this 
report due to commercial sensitivity.

Performance against target for the CEO for most business objectives was in line with or above expectation, with 
the exception being delivery of agreed growth outcomes in France.  Performance of the CFO was in line with 
expectations.

content of the information to be disclosed; and

• 

Approve certain disclosures on behalf of the Board 
as set out in the Continuous Disclosure Policy.

In accordance with section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001, I am pleased to provide the following declaration of 
independence to the directors of Medical Developments International Limited. 

As lead audit partner for the audit of the financial report of Medical Developments International Limited for the year 
ended 30 June 2023, I declare that to the best of my knowledge and belief, there have been no contraventions of:  

(i)

the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 in relation to the audit; and 

(ii) any applicable code of professional conduct in relation to the audit.  

Yours sincerely

Opinion 

We have audited the financial report of Medical Developments International Limited (the “Company”) and its 
subsidiaries (the “Group”) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023, 
the consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of 
changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the 
financial statements including significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the 
directors’ declaration. 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
including: 

• Giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2023 and of its financial 

performance for the year then ended; and  

• Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. 

Basis for Opinion   

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those 
standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of 
our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the 
Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board’s 
APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are 
relevant to our audit of the financial reports in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities 
in accordance with the Code.  

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to 
the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s 
report. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our 
opinion. 

Key Audit Matters  

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit 
of the financial report of the Group for the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our 
audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate 
opinion on these matters.

Refer to Note 2.3 Non-Current Assets 

As at 30 June 2023, the Group holds $29.9 million of capitalised 
registration costs and $2.9 million of capitalised development 
costs. 

Accounting standards require management to use their 
judgement to determine:  

• Whether expenditure relates to development activities or 

research activities.  

•

The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so 
that it will be available for use. 

• Whether the Group intends to complete the intangible asset 

and either use or sell it. 

•

•

•

The probability of expected future economic benefits flowing 
to the Group. 

•

The availability of resources to complete the development 
and to use or sell the intangible asset. 

The expenditure attributable to the asset during its 
development. 

• Whether the useful life assigned to each asset is appropriate. 

Where expenditure does not meet the recognition criteria under 
accounting standards, or has historically been capitalised and no 
longer meets this criteria, it should be expensed or impaired. 

•

•

•

Obtaining an understanding of the process 
undertaken by management to determine whether 
expenditure should be capitalised as an intangible 
asset. 

Assessing the appropriateness of management’s 
accounting policy for capitalisation and 
management’s application of that policy with respect 
to current year additions to intangible assets. 

Assessing all capitalised intangible assets not yet 
available for use and a sample of capitalised 
intangible assets in use at balance date to determine 
whether it is probable that expected future economic 
benefits attributable to those assets will flow to the 
Group. 

Reviewing the listing of capitalised intangible assets at 
balance date to verify that:  

-

-

Amortisation has commenced on intangible 
assets that are in use, and 

The useful lives assigned to assets in use are 
appropriate. 

•

included in Note 2.3 to the financial statements.

Our audit procedures included: 

Refer to Note 2.3 Non-Current Assets 

As at 30 June 2023, the carrying value of the Pain Management 
group of cash generating units (“CGU”) included $3.8 million of 
goodwill and $29.9 million of capitalised registration costs 
associated with the registration of Penthrox in existing markets 
and new markets such as the USA. Goodwill and intangible assets 
not yet available for use are required to be assessed for 
impairment annually and whenever there is an indicator of 
impairment. 

The recoverable amount of the Pain Management CGU has been 
determined by management based on a value in use(“ViU”) 
model, which incorporates significant judgement related to the 
estimation of future cash flows, short term growth rates, long 
term growth rates and an appropriate discount rate.  

The Group’s estimate of recoverable amount for the Pain 
Management CGU is based on future cash flows which are 
contingent upon the Group: 

•

•

•

Continuing to grow in established markets such as Australia 
and the United Kingdom. 

Realising the market opportunity identified in broader 
Western Europe. 

Achieving registration for Penthrox in the USA and realising 
the market opportunity identified. 

•

•

•

•

•

•

Understanding management’s processes and controls 
related to the preparation of the value in use models 
for the Pain Management CGU. 

Agreeing forecast cash flows to the latest Board 
approved budget for FY24 and the Group’s longer 
term business plans, assessing the reasonableness of 
the forecast cash flows with reference to current 
performance, drivers of expected future performance 
and market research commissioned by management 
for the USA market. 

Evaluating the status of registration activities in the 
USA with respect to Penthrox through enquiries of 
management and review of relevant correspondence. 

In conjunction with our valuation specialists, 
assessing the ViU methodology used by management 
as well as comparing the discount rates and long term 
growth rates used to external benchmark data. 

Performing sensitivity analysis on the impairment 
model by applying varied discount rates and growth 
projections to simulate alternative market conditions 
and outcomes. 

Evaluating the appropriateness of the disclosures 
included in Note 2.3 to the financial statements. 

Refer to Note 2.2 Unearned Income, Note 2.3 Non-Current Assets 
and Note 1.2 Revenue 

The Group entered into a contract with a pharmaceutical 
distribution company in October 2018 whereby the distributor 
was granted a right to distribute Penthrox in the Asian territories 
of China, Thailand and Vietnam. As a part of this agreement, the 
distributor paid the Group an upfront non-refundable fee of USD 
$15m, which was received upon signing date of the contract 
(2018) and was deferred within unearned income. 

Registration costs pertaining to the registration process in these 
jurisdictions were capitalised to the intangible assets in 
accordance with accounting standards and the Group’s 
accounting policy, consistent with the accounting treatment 
adopted for registration costs undertaken for other jurisdictions. 

During the year, both parties agreed to cease pursuing 
registration in China and to terminate the agreement, as it 
specifically related to China. As a result, the Group recognised 
contract termination revenue of $18.5m in the current year 
related to the non-refundable upfront payment. Concurrently, 
the Group impaired the capitalised registration costs associated 
with the Chinese market, recognising an impairment loss of 
$5.7m.

as the Director’s Report. 

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Chairman’s and 
CEO’s Report and the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 but does not include the financial 
report and our auditor’s report thereon.  

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of 
assurance conclusion thereon.  

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in 
doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our 
knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have 
performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to 
report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.  

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

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

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue 
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis 
of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic 
alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report  

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. 
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance 
with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements 
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could 
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement 
and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

•

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, 
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient 
and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement 
resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, 
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.  

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are 
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of 
the Group’s internal control.  

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates 

and related disclosures made by the directors.  

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based 
on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that 
may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a 
material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related 
disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our 
conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future 
events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.  

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and 
whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair 
presentation.  

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business 

activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, 
supervision and performance of the Group’s audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. 

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit 
and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our 
audit.  

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements 
regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may 
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or 
safeguards applied.  

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance 
in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe 
these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or 
when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report 
because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest 
benefits of such communication.

How MVP accounts for revenue
Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the Group has transferred control of the product 
to the buyer. The sole performance obligation relates to the delivery of the product with no after sales 
service embedded or attached to the underlying sale. Settlement and volume discounts granted to 
customers are accounted for as offsets against sales.

Upfront and milestone income

Revenue from upfront and milestone payments is recognised as deferred revenue (revenue received 
in advance) and amortised to profit or loss over the underlying contract term. As the performance 
obligation represents the provision of a time-based right for the Groups’ partners to exclusively sell 
product in a specific market, the consumption of the right and benefit occurs evenly over the contract 
period. If the agreement to which the payments relate is terminated or distribution is otherwise ceased, 
and there is no obligation to refund any of the amounts received, the deferred revenue will be recognised 
immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Key Estimates and Judgements – Taxation 
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and 
reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will eventuate to 
enable recovery of the asset. Based on the Group’s latest forecasts, it expects to generate future 
taxable income, sufficient to recover the carrying value of its deferred tax assets, including carry 
forward tax losses.

How MVP accounts for taxation
Income tax charges:

•  Comprise of current and deferred income tax charges and represent the amounts expected to be 

paid to and recovered from the taxation authorities in the jurisdictions that MVP operates.

•  Are recorded in Equity when the underlying transaction that the tax is attributable to is recorded 

within Other Comprehensive Income.

MVP uses the tax laws in place or those that have been substantively enacted at reporting date to 
calculate income tax. For deferred income tax, MVP also considers whether these tax laws are expected 
to be in place when the related asset is realised or liability is settled. Management periodically re-
evaluate their assessment of their tax positions, in particular where they relate to specific interpretations 
of applicable tax regulation.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised on all assets and liabilities that have different carrying 
values for tax and accounting, including those arising from a single transaction, except for the initial 
recognition of goodwill.

Specifically, for deferred tax assets:

•  They are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that there are sufficient future taxable 

amounts to be utilised against. This assessment is reviewed at each reporting date.

•  They are offset against deferred tax liabilities in the same tax jurisdiction, when there is a legally 

enforceable right to do so.

Research and development (R&D) tax credits receivable as compensation for expenses or losses 
already incurred by the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period 
in which they are quantified and become receivable. The Group applies the income tax approach for 
the accounting and presentation of the R&D tax credit. Accordingly, the tax benefit is presented as a 
reduction of income tax expense in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

1.4 DIVIDENDS
No interim or final dividend was paid in the current year (2022 nil).

2022

The average credit period on sales of goods to domestic customers is 30 days, international customers 60 days. 
No interest is charged on trade receivables.  

The Group has a number of mechanisms in place which assist in minimising financial losses due to customer non-
payment. These include:

• 

all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to strict credit verification procedures, which may 
include an assessment of their independent credit rating, financial position, past experience and industry 
reputation;

• 

individual risks limits, which are regularly monitored in-line with set parameters; and

•  monitoring receivable balances on an ongoing basis.

Expected credit loss model
Information about the credit risk exposure on the Group’s trade receivables using a provision matrix has not been 
disclosed due to the immaterial amount of expected credit losses as at 30 June 2023.

62

63

How MVP accounts for trade and other receivables  
MVP’s trade receivables are non-interest bearing, are initially recorded at fair value and include Goods 
and Services Tax (GST). Trade receivables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the 
effective interest method, less and allowance for expected credit losses.

The Group assesses the expected credit losses associated with its trade and other receivables on a 
forward-looking basis. The Group applies the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, 
which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables. 
To measure the expected credit losses, trade and other receivables that share similar credit risk 
characteristics and days past due are grouped and then assessed for collectability as a whole.

The Group continues to assess the risk of non-recoverability or expected credit loss on its receivables 
to be very low. Trade receivables are typically collected within a 30-90-day period and despite the 
occasional debtor being slow paying, empirical evidence suggests there has been a very low level of 
credit losses in previous years.

How MVP accounts for inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs, including an appropriate 
portion of fixed and variable overhead expenses, are assigned to inventory on hand by the method 
most appropriate to each particular class of inventory (all being valued on a first in first out basis). Net 
realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs 
to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

The average credit period on purchase of goods is 30 days.  No interest is charged on trade payables.  The 
company has financial risk management policies in place to ensure that all payables are paid within the credit 
timeframe.

How MVP accounts for Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are carried at their principal amounts, are not discounted and include GST. 
They represent amounts owed for goods and services provided to the Group prior to, but were not paid 
for, at the end of the financial year. The amounts are generally unsecured and are usually paid within 30 – 
90 days of recognition.

is otherwise ceased. During the current year unearned income relating to distribution of Penthrox in China 
($18.5 million), and other countries ($0.4 million) was realised as revenue following the termination of 
relevant distribution agreements.

(2)  Unearned government grant income represents funds received through the Commercial Ready Programme 
from the Federal Government, Futures Industries Manufacturing Program of the Victorian State Government 
and various other government funding initiatives.

Key Estimates and Judgements 
Estimation of useful lives of assets  
The estimation of the useful lives of assets, excluding the ROU assets, is based on historical 
experience.  In addition, the condition of the assets is assessed each reporting period and 
considered against the remaining useful life. Adjustments to useful lives are made when 
considered necessary.

The estimation of the useful lives of ROU assets is based on the non-cancellable period of the 
lease plus renewal options when the exercise of the option is considered to be reasonably certain.

Key Estimates and Judgements 
Recoverability of property, plant and equipment
The Group assesses impairment of all assets at each reporting date by evaluating conditions 
specific to the Group and to the particular asset that may lead to impairment. These include 
product and manufacturing performance, technology, social, economic and political environments 
and future product expectations. If an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the 
asset is determined to assess if any impairment is required.

How MVP accounts for property plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated 
impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure directly attributable to the acquisition of the item and 
subsequent costs incurred to replace parts that are eligible for capitalisation. Depreciation is calculated 
on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

• 

• 

• 

the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;

any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives;

any initial direct costs; and

•  estimated restoration costs.

Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment 
losses, with depreciation recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset with a finite life 
may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable 
amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in 
use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset generates cash inflows that are largely 
dependent on those from other assets or groups of assets and the asset’s value in use cannot be 
estimated to approximate its fair value. In such cases the asset is tested for impairment as part of the 
CGU to which it belongs. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, 
the asset or CGU is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a 
pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks 
specific to the asset. Impairment losses are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss 
and Other Comprehensive Income.

An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously 
recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such an indication exists, 
the recoverable amounts are estimated. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if 
there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the 
last impairment loss was recognised. If this is the case the carrying amount of the asset is increased to 
its recoverable amount. The increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been 
determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years.

How MVP accounts for 
intangible assets

Goodwill
Goodwill, representing the excess of the 
cost of acquisition over the fair value of the 
identifiable net assets acquired, is recognised 
as an asset and not amortised but tested for 
impairment annually and whenever there is an 
indication that the goodwill may be impaired.  
Any impairment loss is recognised immediately 
in the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss 
and Other Comprehensive Income and is not 
subsequently reversed.  

Patents, trademarks and 
licenses
Patents, trademarks and licenses are recorded 
at cost less accumulated amortisation and 
impairment.  Amortisation is charged on a 
straight-line basis over their estimated useful 
lives of 10 years.  The estimated useful life 
and amortisation method is reviewed at the 
end of each annual reporting period. The 
carrying value of patents, trademarks and 
licenses is reviewed at each reporting date for 
indicators of impairment. Any impairment loss 
is recognised as an expense in the Consolidated 
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income.

Registration costs
Registration costs relate to costs incurred 
to obtain registration for Penthrox® in a 
geographic region.

Registration costs are recognised as an 
intangible asset if, and only if, all of the 
following are demonstrated:

• 

• 

• 

the technical feasibility of completing the 
intangible asset so that it will be available 
for use or sale;

the intention to complete the intangible 
asset and use or sell it;

the ability to use or sell the intangible 
asset;

•  how the intangible asset will generate 
probable future economic benefits;

• 

the availability of adequate technical, 
financial and other resources to complete 
the development and to use or sell the 
intangible asset; and

• 

the ability to reliably measure the 
expenditure attributable to the asset during 
its development.

If the recognition criteria set out above is not 
met, development expenditure is expensed as 
incurred. Expenditure on research activities is 
also expensed as incurred.

Methoxyflurane, which is the active ingredient 
in Penthrox® , has been used for acute 
analgesia in Australia for more than 40 
years. The Group has successfully registered 
methoxyflurane in over 40 countries, requiring 
varying levels of documentation and clinical 
evidence to meet the requirements of 
regulatory bodies. The Group has historically 
capitalised registration costs as an intangible 
asset on the basis that it is seeking registration 
for a product with an established history of use 
in Australia and various International markets, 
which supports the Group in meeting the 
recognition criteria under AASB 138 Intangible 
Assets, in particular the technical feasibility 
of achieving registration and the probability of 
generating future economic benefits.

The amounts capitalised comprise directly 
attributable costs, including:

•  The cost of preclinical and clinical trials 

(principally external costs)

•  Employee benefits directly attributable to 
achieving registration within a geographic 
region

Registration costs are recorded at cost less 
accumulated amortisation and impairment. 
Amortisation is charged on a straight-line 
basis over the estimated useful life of the asset 
(5 - 10 years), commencing from the date 
that registration is achieved and the Group 
commences generating economic benefits from 
the relevant geography. Costs capitalised for 
registrations in progress are not amortised and 
are assessed for impairment annually or when 
an indicator of impairment is identified.

MVP remains confident of achieving approval 
in the USA market based on its 40+ years of 
experience, the demonstrated safety profile 
of Penthrox® over that time, its ongoing 
clinical development program and recent 
achievements in getting Penthrox® approved 
for sale in more than 40 countries.

68

69

Brand names
Brand names arising on acquisition of a 
business are initially recognised at Fair Value 
and subsequently carried at cost less any 
applicable impairment charge (if any).  They 
are not amortised but subject to annual tests for 
impairment.  For the purposes of impairment 
testing, brand names are allocated to the 
relevant cash generating unit to which they 
relate. Any impairment loss is recognised as an 
expense in the Consolidated Statement of Profit 
or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income.

Product and technology 
development costs
Product and technology development costs 
principally include development costs 
associated with:

•  The ongoing development of a new and 

enhanced Penthrox® inhaler; and

•  Other respiratory devices

Product and technology development costs are 
recognised as an intangible asset if, and only if, 
they meet the recognition criteria under AASB 
138 Intangible Assets, as set out above in the 
accounting policy for “registration costs”. If the 
recognition criteria is not met, development 
costs are expensed as incurred. Expenditure on 
research activities is also expensed as incurred.

Product and technology development costs are 
recorded at cost less accumulated amortisation 
and impairment. Amortisation is charged on a 
straight-line basis over the estimated useful 
life of the asset (5 - 10 years), commencing 
from the date that development activities 
are completed and the Group commences 
generating economic benefits. Developments 
in progress are not amortised.

Key Estimate and Judgement 
Impairment of goodwill and other intangibles
Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the recoverable 
amount of the cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The 
recoverable amount calculation requires the entity to estimate the future cash flows 
expected to arise from the cash generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to 
calculate the present value of those cash flows.

Key Estimate and Judgement 
Impairment of intangible assets not yet available for use
The Group has material capitalised registration costs in relation to obtaining registration 
of Penthrox® in a number of jurisdictions (primarily the USA). Management tests these 
capitalised costs for impairment annually and where an impairment indicator is identified. 
The recoverability of these costs is ultimately contingent upon achieving registration in 
these jurisdictions.

Impairment of capitalised 
registration costs
On 18 January 2023 the Company announced that 
it had discontinued the preparation of clinical trials 
for Penthrox in China. This follows extended delays 
to the anticipated timeline for clinical trial outcomes 
and consequently the commercial launch of Penthrox 
in the market, primarily due to the challenging 
regulatory environment and COVID restrictions. Given 
market registration in China is not being pursued, 
an impairment expense of $5.7 million has been 
recognised in relation to capitalised registration 
costs held within the Pain Management segment. 
An impairment loss was also recognised for other 
countries where revenue opportunities are no longer 
being pursued ($0.9 million).

Annual impairment testing
Goodwill and intangible assets not yet available for 
use are tested for impairment annually and whenever 
there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. 
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less 
costs to sell and value in use. In estimating the 
recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating 
unit), its estimated future cash flows are discounted 
to their present value using a post-tax discount rate 
that reflects current market assessments of the time 
value of money and the risks specific to the asset for 
which the estimates of future cash flows have not been 
adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-
generating unit) is estimated to be less than its 
carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or 
cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable 
amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the 
Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss and Other 
Comprehensive Income immediately. An impairment of 
goodwill is not subsequently reversed.

Where an impairment loss (other than goodwill) 
subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the 
asset (or cash generating unit) is increased to the 
revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only 
to the extent that the increased carrying amount does 
not exceed the carrying amount that would have been 
determined had no impairment loss been recognised 
for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years.  A 
reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or 
loss immediately.

The results of the Group’s impairment testing for the 
year ended 30 June 2023 are set out below:

Pain Management
The recoverable amount for the Pain Management 
CGUs was calculated as at 30 June 2023 using a 
‘value in use’ approach, which incorporates cash 
flow projections over ten years, and a terminal value, 
discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted post-
tax discount rate. The Group has modelled cash flow 
over a period greater than 5 years given the scale-up 
phase the Group is in. This approach enables the Group 
to model expected growth before it reaches a level of 
maturity in its terminal value. No impairment loss was 
identified as a result of impairment testing performed.

The recoverable amount for Pain Management 
represents an aggregation of:

1.  an estimate of future cash flows attributable to 

the geographies in which the Group currently 
operates, allowing for further growth and 
expansion, using the Board approved Budget 
for year 1, revenue growth in accordance with 
the business operating plan for years 2-10 and a 
terminal growth rate of 2.0% (2022: 2.3%). The 
estimate of future cash flows was then discounted 
using a post-tax discount rate of 15.0% (2022: 
11.5%).

2.  an estimate of future cash flows expected to 

arise from the US market, allowing for expected 
costs to be incurred to achieve market approval, 
an estimate of sales volume, gross margin and 
operating costs and a long-term growth rate 
of 3.0% (2022: 3.0%). The estimate of future 
cash flows was then discounted using a post-tax 
discount rate of 25.0% (2022: 20.3%).

The cashflows attributable to the geographies in which 
the Group currently operates (principally Australia and 
Europe) reflect continued strong growth in the short to 
medium term. 

The Group believes that the assumptions adopted 
in the recoverable amount calculations reflect an 
appropriate balance between the Group’s experience 
to date and the Group’s long-term growth expectations 
for the Pain Management business.

Cash flows assumed from the US market are 
dependent upon successful market registration. The 
Group remains confident of achieving registration 
and penetration in the US market, supported by the 
success of Penthrox in existing markets. This success 
reflects the safety and efficacy profile of the product. 
During FY22 the clinical hold on methoxyflurane was 
lifted by the FDA in the US, a critical milestone in the 
Group’s efforts to achieve registration and presence 
in the market in the US.  The Group is advancing plans 
to commence the clinical and non-clinical program 
required to achieve registration.

2.4 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Capital expenditure commitments
There were no material capital expenditure commitments at the end of the year (2022: nil).

Contingencies
The Group is not party to any legal proceedings that are expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a 
material adverse effect on its business, financial position or operating results.

How MVP accounts for provisions and contingencies
Provisions are recognised when the following three criteria are met:

• 

• 

the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;

it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the 
obligation; and 

• 

a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation

When these criteria cannot be met, a contingency may be recognised.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management’s best estimate of the expenditure required 
to settle the present obligation at the reporting date. The discount rate used to determine the present 
value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the 
liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised 
as a financing cost.

When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered 
from a third party, the receivable is recognised as an asset if it is probable that recovery will be received 
and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.

How MVP accounts for Leases
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease 
agreements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases and leases of low value assets. 
Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a 
straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 
months or less. 

Lease liabilities
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at 
the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily 
determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate. 

Each lease payment is allocated between the lease liability and finance costs. The finance cost is 
charged to profit or loss over the period of the lease to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the 
remaining balance of the liability for each period. The carrying amount of a lease liability is remeasured if 
there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g. inflation-linked 
payments or market rate rent reviews). A corresponding adjustment is made to the right of use asset.

Section 3 – Capital Structure
This section details specifics of the Groups’ capital structure. When managing capital, Management’s objective is 
to ensure that the Group continues as a going concern as well as to provide optimal returns to shareholders and 
other stakeholders. Management also aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital 
available to the Group. Primary responsibility for identification and control of capital and financial risks rests with 
the Board of Directors.

How MVP accounts for cash and cash equivalents 
Cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position comprise cash at 
bank and on hand and short-term deposits with a maturity of twelve months or less that are readily 
convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 

For the purposes of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist 
of cash and cash equivalents as defined above, net of bank overdraft balances. Bank overdrafts 
are included within interest-bearing loans and borrowings in current liabilities on the Consolidated 
Statement of Financial Position.  Cash flows are included in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows 
on a gross basis and the GST component of cash flows arising from investing and financing activities 
which is recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority are classified as operating cash flows. 

the translation of the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries (based in the United Kingdom and 
Netherlands).  Exchange differences arising on the translation from functional currencies to the Group’s 
presentation currency (Australian dollars) are recognised directly in other comprehensive income and 
accumulated in the foreign currency translation reserve. 

(2)   The share-based payments reserve relates to performance rights granted in the current year and share 
options granted in prior periods by the Company to the CEO and select senior executives, and the equity

3.3 CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Group manages its capital to ensure that it will be 
able to continue as a going concern while maximising 
the return to stakeholders. The Group does not enter 
into trade financial instruments, including derivatives, 
for speculative purposes.

The capital structure of the Group consists of net cash 
as detailed in note 3.1 and the equity of the Group 
(comprising issued capital, reserves and retained 
earnings).

The Board of Directors reviews the capital structure 
of the Group on a semi-annual basis. As part of this 
review, the Board considers the cost of capital and the 
risks associated with each class of capital. 

As at 30 June 2023 the Group had no borrowings, and 
was in a net cash position.

3.4 GOING CONCERN
The consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes 
that the Group will realise its assets and extinguish 
its liabilities in the normal course of business and at 
amounts stated in the Full Year Consolidated Financial 
Report.

3.5    MANAGING OUR FINANCIAL 

RISKS

There are a number of financial risks the Group is 
exposed to that could adversely affect the achievement 
of future business performance. The Group’s risk 
management program seeks to mitigate risks and 
reduce volatility in the Group’s financial performance. 
Financial risk management is managed by the Audit 
and Risk Committee.

The Group’s principal financial risks are:

• 

Liquidity risk;

•  Credit risk; and

•  Foreign currency risk.

Managing liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the financial liabilities of the 
Group and the Group’s ability to meet its obligations 
to repay these financial liabilities as and when they 
fall due. The Group has a range of liabilities at balance 
date that will be required to be settled at some future 
date.

At 30 June 2023 the Group had $24.7 million in cash 
holdings. Net assets were $81.3 million. 

What is the risk?

The Directors are satisfied that the Group’s cash 
position will enable the Group to pay its debts as and 
when they fall due for a period of no less than 12 
months from the date these financial statements were 
approved.  

The Company’s nearer term strategic focus is to 
increase the penetration of Penthrox in existing 
markets, and to continue to grow its Respiratory 
segment through market share gains, particularly 
in the USA.  Longer term, the Çompany seeks to 
enter new and attractive markets for Penthrox, with 
particular focus on the USA.

Investment in capability over the last two years is 
driving delivery of the Group’s strategy, including 
volume growth in the Pain Management and 
Respiratory segments, and higher pricing.  The Group 
expects operating cashflows in FY24 to be improved 
on FY23, reflecting higher pricing, reduced spend 
in Europe following the scale-back of resources 
in France, other operating efficiencies and volume 
growth.

Funding for clinical and non-clinical trials and other 
capital programs to support market entry in the US will 
be funded through one or more partner organisations 
and will only be committed when funding is confirmed. 
An experienced advisor has been appointed to support 
the search for suitable partners.

The risk that MVP cannot meet its obligations to 
repay its financial liabilities as and when they fall 
due.

How does MVP manage this risk?

•  Maintaining adequate cash reserves and 

borrowing facilities. 

•  Continuously monitoring forecast and actual 

cash flows and matching the maturity profiles 
of financial assets and liabilities.

Impact at 30 June 2023

The FY23 Financial statements have been 
prepared on a going concern basis.  The Directors 
have assessed that the cash reserves at 30 June 
2023, in addition to the cash inflows arising from 
the successful share placement and entitlement 
offer in August 2022, will provide the Group 
sufficient capacity to meet its debts as and when 
they fall due for a period of no less than 12 months 
from the date these financial statements were 
approved (refer note 3.4).

The Group’s financial instruments comprise cash, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and 
lease liabilities.

The Group does not hold any financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair 
value.

The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group’s financials liabilities based on contractual 
undiscounted payments:

Managing credit risk
Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to meet their obligations under a 
contract or arrangement. The Group has adopted a policy that customers who wish to trade on credit terms, will 
be subject to strict credit verification procedures (refer note 2.1).

The Group’s exposure is continually monitored, with trade receivables consisting of a large number of customers. 
The Group evaluates the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables and contract assets as low as its 
customers are located in several jurisdictions and industries and operate in largely independent markets.

76

77

Managing foreign currency risk

The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates to the Group’s (i) operating 
activities which are denominated in a different currency from the entity’s functional currency and (ii) net 
investments in foreign subsidiaries.

The Group currently operates through entities in three countries outside of Australia, with the following 
functional currencies:

Country of Domicile

Functional Currency

United Kingdom

Netherlands

USA

GBP

EURO

USD

As the Group has an Australian dollar (AUD) presentation currency, which is also the functional currency of its 
Australian entities, this exposes the Group to foreign exchange rate risk.

What is the risk?

How does MVP 
manage this risk?

Impact at 
30 June 2023

If transactions are denominated 
in currencies other than the 
functional currency of the 
operating entity, there is a risk of 
an unfavourable financial Impact 
to earnings if there is an adverse 
currency movement.

The Group does not currently 
consider its exposure to foreign 
currency to be significant and 
as such forward contracts and 
currency swap agreements are 
not used. The Group expects to 
become increasingly exposed 
to the Euro as it’s Penthrox® 
European expansion progresses 
in coming years and will monitor 
the exposure accordingly.

Sensitivity analysis of the foreign 
currency net transactional 
exposures was performed to 
movements in the Australian 
dollar against the relevant 
foreign currencies, with all 
other variables held constant. 
This analysis includes only 
outstanding foreign currency 
denominated monetary items 
and adjusts their translation at 
the period end for a 10% change 
in foreign currency rates.

This analysis showed that a 10% 
movement in its major trading 
currencies would not materially 
impact net loss after tax.

As MVP has entities that do not 
have an Australian dollar (AUD) 
functional currency, if currency 
rates move adversely compared 
to the AUD, then the amount of 
AUD-equivalent profit would 
decrease, and the balance sheet 
net investment value would 
decline.

The Group does not currently 
consider its exposure to foreign 
currency to be significant.  The 
Group expects to expand in 
countries outside of Australia in 
future years and will monitor its 
exposure accordingly.

Sensitivity analysis performed 
by management showed that a 
10% +/- movement in its major 
translational currencies as at 
30 June 2023 would not have a 
significant impact on equity and 
net loss before tax.

78

79

How MVP accounts for foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency of the individual entity 
by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange prevailing at reporting date. 

Non-monetary items that are measured at:

•  Historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial 

transaction.

•  Fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair 

value was determined. 

As at the reporting date the assets and liabilities of the controlled entities with non-Australian dollar 
functional currencies are translated into the presentation currency of MVP at the rate of exchange at the 
reporting date and their statements of comprehensive income are translated at the weighted average 
exchange rate for the year (where appropriate).

The exchange rate differences arising on the translation to presentation currency are taken directly 
to the foreign currency translation reserve, in equity. On disposal of a foreign entity, the deferred 
cumulative amount recognised in equity relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the 
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. 

Section 4 – Remunerating Our People 
This section provides financial insight into employee reward and recognition designed to attract, retain, reward 
and motivate high performing individuals so as to achieve the objectives of the Group, in alignment with the 
interests of its shareholders.

This section should be read in conjunction with the Remuneration Report, contained within the Directors Report, 
which provides specific details on the setting of remuneration for Key Management Personnel.

4.1 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The Group’s employee benefits expenses for the year were as follows:

$’000

Payroll and other employee benefits expense

Superannuation contributions

The Group’s current employee benefits provisions relate to annual leave entitlements of $727,000 (2022: 
$683,000). The non-current employee benefits provisions relate to long service leave entitlements of $343,000 
(2022: $369,000).

How MVP accounts for employee benefits
Provision is made for employee benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to 
the reporting date. These benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave and long service leave. 

Benefits expected to be settled within twelve months of the reporting date are classified as current and 
are measured at their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid 
when the liability is settled. 

The liability for long service leave is recognised and measured as the present value of expected future 
payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the 
projected unit credit method. Under this method consideration is given to expected future wage and 
salary levels, experience of employee departures, and periods of service. Expected future payments are 
discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds (except for Australia 
where high quality corporate bond rates are used in accordance with the standards) with terms to 
maturity and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.

4.2 SHARE BASED PAYMENTS

4.3 KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL

FY23 Long term incentive plan
The Company introduced a new long-term incentive plan in the current year for select senior executives, under 
which 524,621 performance rights were granted. The plan has a performance hurdle linked to growth in the 
share price over a three year vesting period. Details in relation to performance hurdles and vesting conditions are 
outlined in section 3 of the 2023 Remuneration Report.

The rights were independently valued to establish fair value in accordance with AASB 2 Share Based Payments. 
The key assumptions used in the independent valuation are outlined in the table below.

How MVP accounts for share based payments 
Equity-settled share-based payments granted are measured at fair value at the date of grant. 

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a 
straight-line basis over the vesting period with a corresponding increase in equity.  

At the end of the reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments 
expected to vest and the impact of any revision on the original estimates is also recognised in the profit and 
loss.
