MISSION

At Telix, our mission is to help patients with cancer 
live longer, better quality lives.

WHAT IS MOLECULARLY TARGETED RADIATION?
MTR has emerged as a new frontier in personalised cancer care.

1. Targeted radiation

Radioactive 
Isotope  
(The “Payload”)

to a cancer cell 
(The “Delivery Vehicle”)

2.  Systemic administration

3. See it… Treat it

4. Quality of life

An MTR drug comprises of a radioactive 
payload attached to a targeting agent such 
as a small molecule or antibody, which binds 
selectively to cancer cells.

An MTR drug attaches to unique cancer 
cell signatures or ‘targets’ that are typically 
expressed only on the surface of the cancer 
cell, thus sparing normal tissues.

Once administered into the blood stream, 
the MTR drug circulates throughout the 
body and attaches to the cancer cells, 
including small metastases, wherever they 
are located in the body. This is differentiated 
from traditional radiation therapy, which is 
typically highly localised.

A low dose of radiation may be used to image 
the cancer, for the purpose of diagnosing and 
staging the cancer.1

A high dose of radiation may be used to 
destroy the cancer cells, for the purpose  
of cancer therapy.2

Better-informed treatment decisions and 
personalised therapy may lead to improved 
outcomes for patients.

1.  Diagnostic imaging is typically achieved using a positron-emitting isotope such as gallium-68 (68Ga) or zirconium-89 (89Zr), 

or a gamma-emitting isotope such as technetium-99m (99mTc).

2.  Therapy is typically achieved using a beta-emitting isotope such as lutetium-177 (177Lu) or yttrium-90 (90Y), or an alpha-emitting

isotope such as actinium-225 (225Ac) or astatine-211 (211At).

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

We have a collective mission to help patients with 
cancer live longer, better quality lives, a mission 
that has never been more important and relevant.

H Kevin McCann AO
Independent Non-Executive Chairman

Dear Shareholders,

At the commencement of 2020, we could not have anticipated 
the astonishing extent to which the world would change 
over the next twelve months. For a company like Telix, the 
impact of a global pandemic presented both challenges and 
opportunities on an unprecedented scale. Faced with the 
prospect of such dramatic externalities, a management team 
could be somewhat forgiven for resorting to a lock-down 
mentality and focusing predominantly on risk management. 
As a leadership team, the Board of Directors and Telix’s 
Management certainly internalised the risks and responded 
with effective mitigation plans to protect our people, our 
financial resources, and patients.

However, cancer doesn’t stop for a pandemic and neither 
did the Telix team. Despite adverse operating conditions we 
continued to run clinical trials, deliver outcomes for patients 
and grow the operational and commercial footprint of the 
business. The hard work of 2019 in terms of building out the 
capabilities of the team and governance framework of the 
business was significantly tested in 2020. 

There are three major aspects of Telix’s ‘DNA’ that enabled the 
Company to thrive under adverse operating conditions. The 
first is the quality of the leadership team and the distributed 
nature of the team that enabled operations to continue, even 
when borders had closed, and flight routes were no longer 
operational. As an Australian-headquartered company, we 
would have potentially had a very different outcome were it 
not for the strength and commitment of our regional teams in 
the US, Japan and Europe. Telix has always been a distributed 
organisation and this comes with a degree of resilience 
and operational flexibility that was undoubtedly part of the 
Company’s success this year. 

The second consideration is the Company’s culture around 
risk management. Building redundancy in execution capacity, 
supply chain and vendors has become an important part of 
making sure that we are able to deliver patient and clinical trial 
doses every day around the globe. Radiopharmaceuticals are 
a logistically complex business and while it is realistic to expect 
that there are always areas of improvement for the future, 
the execution fundamentals of the Company proved sound. 
Certainly, it is my expectation that Telix will be even stronger 
because of the events of the last twelve months.

Finally, our people. The culture of the Company is based 
around the pervasive belief that what we are doing is vitally 
important. I personally witnessed a team that pushed harder, 
with even greater resolve, despite a great deal of headwind. The 
Company continues to deliver on its promise to shareholders 
and patients. This is evidenced by both the excellent clinical 
and regulatory outcomes during the course of the year, as 

The Company continues to deliver 
on its promise to shareholders and 
patients and this is evidenced by both 
the excellent clinical and regulatory 
outcomes during the course of the year

well as a number of important new commercial partnerships. 
The acquisition of TheraPharm, the strategic partnership with 
China Grand Pharma and the important regulatory milestones 
achieved in the US and Europe are examples of this. 

I wish to commend Chris Behrenbruch and his team both 
for their resilience and their commitment to Telix in a year of 
unprecedented disruption. Against all expectations 2020 has 
been a year of outstanding achievement for Telix.  

The demands on the management team extended to your 
Directors and I would like to acknowledge their additional 
energy and commitment over the past year. The Board and 
its committees met more frequently, often at short notice to 
address COVID-19 issues impacting the company, to review and 
approve the TheraPharm acquisition and the very important 
strategic transaction with China Grand Pharma.

Telix is a company at the point of transition to becoming 
a global, commercially active company. Telix currently has 
product approval processes underway in 17 countries, as it 
prepares for an expected commercial launch of its first product 
in the second half of this year. When this occurs Telix will have 
transitioned to a financially sustainable, revenue-generating 
company.

As a prostate cancer survivor, I understand in a very personal 
and direct way what Telix has set out to accomplish and it is a 
privilege for all of us – Board and Management – to be a part of 
this exciting journey with you, our shareholders. Above all else, 
we have a collective mission to help patients with cancer live 
longer, better quality lives, a mission that has never been more 
important and relevant. 

In conclusion may I thank our growing number of shareholders 
for their support over the year.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT

The Telix team is a resilient team and there  
is not a single person in the organisation  
who did not go ‘above and beyond’ this year  
to ensure the future of the Company.

Dr Christian P. Behrenbruch
CEO and Managing Director

Dear Shareholders,

What a year.

If you had told me at the start of 2020 that I would spend the 
majority of the year leading Telix from my kitchen table with 
two young children running around, I would have expressed 
disbelief. The Telix team is a resilient team and there is not a 
single person in the organisation who did not go ‘above and 
beyond’ this year to ensure the future of the Company. 

We made the decision early in the pandemic not to downsize 
the business or mothball operating teams that would likely 
be unable to operate at 100%. Instead, we invested in our 
team, their ability to work from home and we creatively 
deployed our human resources to the long-term benefit of the 
Company. When we had a pause in clinical trial recruitment, 
we implemented a new ERP and quality system. When 
we experienced manufacturing delays due to operational 
shutdowns, we reworked regulatory documentation and 
qualified new vendors. At every setback, I believe the Telix team 
asked ‘what else can we do?’. I am humbled to work with such 
an impressive and committed group of people that made the 
year as successful as it has been.

The low point of the year has been recruitment in clinical trials.
Across all of our programs we have managed to continue to 
collect further clinical data and operationalise new studies 
around the globe, but progress has been slower than ideal. 
We experienced many months of hospital shutdowns that 
prevented patient recruitment, but we also worked proactively 
with our clinical partners to make sure that we were part of the 
solution, not part of the problem. The result is that our clinical 
relationships have never been stronger, but we are also six to 
eight months behind where we would ideally like to be. 

In terms of pre-commercial revenue, we were similarly 
impacted. However, by focusing on our most important and 
highest value clinical customers, we increased revenue for 
the year despite a significant reduction in procedure volume, 
particularly for the Company’s prostate cancer imaging agent. 
Although the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will continue 
to be pervasive, we believe that the ‘first wave’ was the most 
damaging in terms of clinical and commercial activity because 
the uncertainty of the situation resulted in the most drastic 
response measures. As we collectively start to understand how 
to manage the pandemic, we are seeing a return to routine 
oncology care. Cancer does not stop for a virus, but the  

‘new normal’ does mean adjusting to new ways of engaging  
with clinicians and patients. We have learned a lot and become 
a more efficient company because of it.

More positively, Telix made outstanding progress this year with 
product commercialisation activity, regulatory processes for 
product approval and preparing for first product launch of the 
Illuccix®1 prostate cancer imaging product. There is an intense 
level of excitement about this product in our major markets 
and Telix, along with our key partners, is ready to go as soon as 
regulators give us the green light. We particularly welcome the 
opportunity to work with the FDA to bring Illuccix® (68Ga-PSMA 
imaging) to the vast majority of prostate cancer patients not 
fully served through the limited institutional approvals at  
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and University  
of California, San Francisco (UCSF).

On the business development front, 2020 was a stellar 
year. Telix entered into a whole range of new partnerships 
with important companies that will not only help us as we 
develop new markets and indications for our technology, but 
also enable us to combine capabilities in ways that have the 
potential to profoundly affect cancer care. Our partnership with 
Varian Medical Systems (now a part of Siemens Healthineers) 
is helping us to understand how advanced prostate cancer 
imaging may affect traditional radiation oncology. We are 
exploring ‘next generation’ radiation oncology with RefleXion 
Medical, one of the most innovative companies in the field.  
The exciting ‘Imaging and Robotics in Surgery’ or ‘IRiS’ Alliance 
with Mauna Kea Technologies is one of several important 
forays into the use of MTR technology in the operating theatre, 
delivering new tools and techniques to surgeons. We also 
continued to work closely with key partners such as Cardinal 
Health, Eckert & Ziegler, PharmaLogic, IRE ELiT, Eczacıbaşı 
Monrol, JFE Engineering and GE Healthcare, to name but a 
few. Delivering cancer care is truly a team effort and we are 
immensely grateful for the commitment and energy that our 
partners delivered under such challenging conditions.

Finally, we continued our march toward building a truly global 
business. At the time of launch, Telix focused on Australia, 
US, EU and Japan. This has expanded to include many other 
countries where Telix is clinically and commercially active, either 
directly or through partnerships. Our acquisition of the Swiss-
German company TheraPharm significantly expands Telix’s 
pipeline into hematologic (blood) cancers and rare diseases, 
but also delivers an approved product into the portfolio with 
sales in approximately 30 countries. We expanded the scope

put people – employees and patients – first and the results are 
self-evident. 

On behalf of the Company, we thank all shareholders for their 
support and look forward to the continuation of this exciting 
journey together.

I would like to thank the entire global Telix team for their 
collaboration, integrity and passion – three of Telix’s core 
values that served us particularly well during a difficult but also 
immensely rewarding year. We ended the year an operationally, 
financially and technologically stronger company than when we 
started, ready for an even bigger year in 2021. I would also like 
to thank Kevin McCann and the entire Board of Directors for 
their support, critical analysis and above all – care – during a

CLINICAL PIPELINE

In the five years since the Company was founded, Telix has built a comprehensive 
late-stage portfolio of MTR assets that are being developed for clinical 
indications in prostate, kidney, brain and hematologic (blood) cancers,  
as well as rare diseases.

Telix is an innovative therapeutics company with a mission to help patients with cancer live longer, better quality 
lives. Telix harnesses diagnostic imaging to personalise its therapeutic pipeline and to address important unmet 
medical needs, such as accurately staging patients with prostate and renal cancer. Such applications not only  
help increase physician familiarity with MTR, they also create early commercial and revenue opportunities  
for the Company.

PROSTATE CANCER 

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men,1 
with 1.4 million men diagnosed in 2020. While meaningful 
improvements in the treatment of prostate cancer have 
occurred in recent years, over 375,000 men still die from  
their disease each year.

Due to high rates of screening and early diagnosis most men 
receive local therapy, either prostatectomy or radiotherapy and 
may be cured of their disease. However, approximately 15% 
of men will ultimately develop advanced disease, thus there 
remains a significant medical need for effective new therapies.2

Telix’s core prostate cancer portfolio comprises the prostate 
cancer imaging products Illuccix®3 (TLX591-CDx, 68Ga-PSMA-11) 
and TLX599-CDx (99mTc-PSMA-11), and the prostate cancer 
therapy product TLX591 (177Lu-DOTA-rosopatamab). Each  
of these products targets PSMA, which is an important and  
well-validated drug target in prostate cancer.

Telix’s flagship investigational product Illuccix® (pronounced: Ill-
loo-six) for the imaging of prostate cancer is the most proximal 
to market product in the Company’s portfolio. The Illuccix® 
product branding recognisably carries the historical ‘kit’ Illumet® 
trademark forward into a pharmaceutical brand that meets 
the stringent naming requirements of global regulators. During 
2020, Telix achieved the major milestone of submitting its first 
regulatory applications for Illuccix®. In April 2020, Telix filed its 
first Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) with the Danish 
Medicines Agency (DKMA) as a reference competent authority 
for fourteen EU member states, representing the key markets 
for the product. 

This was followed by an NDA for Illuccix® that was submitted 
to the FDA in September 2020. In December 2020, the FDA 
determined that Telix’s NDA submission was sufficiently 
complete to permit a substantive review.

Also in December, Telix filed a New Drug Submission (NDS)  
for Illuccix® with Health Canada, and the Australian TGA granted 
priority review status for Illuccix®, thus granting a significantly 
accelerated timeframe for regulatory review and approval in 
Telix’s home market.

Each of Telix’s regulatory submissions for Illuccix® has made 
significant progress in 2020, with Telix anticipating marketing 
approvals to be granted during the second half of 2021, that 
would enable the commercial launch of Illuccix® to occur 
progressively in US, Europe, Australia and Canada. 

During 2020, Telix also made significant progress towards the 
launch of its prostate cancer Phase III therapy program for 
TLX591. In November, the Company completed a second pre-
Investigational New Drug Application (IND) meeting with the 
FDA, enabling Telix to finalise the design of its Phase III ProstACT 
study as an international, multicentre, randomised controlled 
trial (RCT) comparing best standard of care with and without 
TLX591, in patients with PSMA-expressing metastatic castration-
resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

CLINICAL PIPELINE CONTINUED

KIDNEY CANCER 

Each year, more than 400,000 people worldwide are diagnosed 
with kidney cancer and more than 175,000 people died from 
their disease.1 While the introduction of immunotherapy agents 
has improved the outlook for patients with metastatic renal 
cell carcinoma, the most common type of kidney cancer, many 
patients do not adequately respond to immunotherapies, and 
most eventually progress. There remains a significant need  
for new therapeutic options for patients with advanced  
kidney cancer. 

Telix’s kidney cancer imaging product TLX250-CDx  
(89Zr-DFO-girentuximab) and the kidney cancer therapeutic  
product TLX250 (177Lu-girentuximab), represent the key  
assets in the Company’s kidney cancer program. Each of these 
products targets carbonic anhydrase IX (CA9), a cancer target 
that is highly expressed by several tumour types including  
clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). 

During 2020, Telix made significant progress with the 
Company’s international, multicentre Phase III ZIRCON trial, 
which is evaluating the sensitivity and specificity of pre-surgical 
imaging using TLX250-CDx in detecting ccRCC, compared to 
histology from the surgical resection in up to 252 patients. In 
January 2020, the FDA approved Telix’s Phase III IND application, 
enabling the ZIRCON trial to recruit patients in the US, and in 
July the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy (BT) designation 
for TLX250-CDx. Such a designation represents a significant 
outcome for Telix, as it grants the Company the opportunity 
to interact closely with the FDA, potentially expediting the 
regulatory approval process for TLX250-CDx in the US, once 
the ZIRCON trial is completed. Telix anticipates that with 36 
sites participating in the ZIRCON trial across Europe, Australia, 
Turkey, Canada and US, study recruitment will complete in mid-
2021, potentially enabling TLX250-CDx to be the first marketed 
diagnostic imaging agent intended for the non-invasive 
assessment of patients with suspected ccRCC.

Preparation for the launch of two Telix-supported STARLITE 
Phase II trials of TLX250 (therapy) in combination with 
immunotherapy for the treatment of patients with advanced 
ccRCC, was impacted in 2020 by the COVID-19 pandemic and 
the diversion of clinical research staff away from usual research 
activities. Telix expects the STARLITE I and STARLITE II trials, 
which are being conducted at MD Anderson Cancer Center 
(Houston, TX) and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 
(New York, NY), respectively to have IND applications filed  
with the FDA during the first half of 2021, and to open for 
patient recruitment in mid-2021.

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 2020GLIOBLASTOMA (BRAIN CANCER)

Glioblastoma, also known as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), 
is the most aggressive form of primary brain cancer, with 
approximately 11,000 new cases diagnosed annually in the 
US.1 The mainstay of treatment for GBM typically comprises 
surgical resection, followed by combined radiotherapy and 
chemotherapy. However, despite such treatment, most patients 
experience recurrence of their GBM, with an expected survival 
duration of approximately 15 months from diagnosis.2 

Telix’s therapeutic product TLX101 (131I-IPA) targets LAT-1,  
a promising target in several cancer types, including 
glioblastoma. TLX101 is a novel approach that is readily able 
to pass through the blood-brain barrier, the normal protective 
barrier that prevents many potential drug candidates from 
entering the brain. 

TLX101, which has been granted orphan drug designation in 
the US and Europe is presently under evaluation in the Phase 
I/II IPAX-1 trial. The study aims to evaluate the safety and 
effectiveness of TLX101 in combination with external beam 
radiation therapy (EBRT) in patients with recurrent glioblastoma, 
at five sites in Australia and Europe.3 In December 2020, Telix 
reported initial data from the first (lowest) dose cohort in eight 
patients, demonstrating encouraging treatment responses, 
including reductions in tumour burden based on imaging and 
prolonged disease stabilisation. 

These early data indicated evidence of an anti-tumour effect 
at relatively low doses, without toxicities that would prevent 
planned higher therapeutic doses. Based on this encouraging 
early data, Telix plans to accelerate the development of 
TLX101 in 2021 with the aim of determining the optimal dosing 
schedule to support consultation with regulatory authorities 
and pivotal clinical trial design.

Glioblastoma is the most aggressive form  
of primary brain cancer

Worldwide, more than 300,000 people were 
diagnosed with brain or central nervous system 
cancer in 2020, with GBM being the most 
common form of the disease4

More than 250,000 people died from brain or 
central nervous system cancer globally in 20204

TLX101 is being developed for the treatment 
of recurrent glioblastoma in combination with 
conventional external beam radiation therapy

Initial treatment with surgery, external beam 
radiation therapy and chemotherapy has  
limited success, with 5% 5-year survival 

Early data from Telix’s IPAX-1 trial demonstrated 
encouraging tumour responses including 
prolonged disease stabilisation

Total addressable market value for TLX101  
in US and Europe estimated at US$1.5B

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 2020CLINICAL PIPELINE CONTINUED

FUTURE CLINICAL FRONTIERS

Through 2020, Telix continued to build on its existing pipeline 
of molecules and platform technologies and made significant 
progress towards its objective of category leadership in urologic 
oncology. This is accomplished through partnerships with other 
companies that have complementary technology, university 
and clinical partnerships and an active program of identifying 
intellectual property (IP) in-licensing opportunities.

Telix’s first targeted alpha therapy (TAT) candidate 225Ac-TLX592 
employs an engineered variant of TLX591 based on a platform 
technology called RADmAb® that is optimally designed for the 
delivery of targeted alpha-emitting isotopes. TAT delivers high 
energy, short range radiation that penetrates only a few cells 
deep, potentially suited to patients with early-stage metastatic 
prostate cancer with small disease burden, or patients with late-
stage prostate cancer following failure of 177Lu-PSMA therapy.  
In November, Telix was granted CTN1 clearance by the Australian 
TGA to commence the CUPID study, a first-in-human study of 
TLX592 in patients with advanced prostate cancer. The CUPID 
study uses imaging methods to evaluate biodistribution and 
dosing prior to commencing therapeutic studies, highlighting 
the power of the ‘theranostic’ approach to drug development.

Telix’s prostate cancer imaging agent TLX599-CDx (99mTc-iPSMA), 
a ‘sibling’ asset to TLX591-CDx (68Ga-PSMA-11) aims to enable 
patient access to the latest generation in prostate cancer 
imaging regardless of the patient’s location in the world. While 
TLX591-CDx utilises PET2 imaging, a diagnostic modality that 
is mostly confined to wealthy countries, TLX599-CDx employs 
SPECT3 imaging, a ubiquitous imaging technology available 
in most of the rest of the world. Telix’s international NOBLE 
registry, which is expected to open in early 2021, will enable 
patients with prostate cancer to access PSMA-SPECT imaging 
across eight developing markets, and will collect real-world 
clinical evidence supporting the use of TLX599-CDx in the  
major prostate cancer imaging indications.

To further expand Telix’s leadership in urologic oncology 
imaging and surgical staging, Telix has completed a 
collaboration and intellectual property (IP) license agreement 
with the German Center for Cancer Research (DKFZ). The 
collaboration focuses on a unique technology intended for 
image-guided urologic cancer surgery. TLX591-Sx (68Ga-
PSMA-IRDye) is a dual-modality PET-optical imaging agent, 
enabling pre-operative PET imaging, as well as intra-operative 
fluorescent visual guidance to the prostate cancer surgeon. 
Together with Paris (France) based Mauna Kea Technologies, 
Telix has formed the Imaging and Robotics in Surgery (IRiS) 
Alliance to further develop TLX591-Sx and similar technologies 
under development by Telix for a variety of urologic oncology 
indications. The hope is that this technology direction will 
provide advanced capabilities for pre-operative planning,  
and intra-operative guidance and surgical margin assessment 
during surgery.

In December, Telix acquired Swiss-German biotechnology 
company TheraPharm GmbH, expanding the Company’s 
pipeline to hematologic oncology, bone marrow transplantation 
and rare diseases. TLX66 (90Y-besilesomab) targets CD66, a 
receptor expressed on specific types of immune/blood cells,

and has been granted orphan drug designation (ODD) status in 
Europe for bone marrow conditioning (BMC) for hematopoietic 
stem cell transplantation (HSCT), a broad clinical indication. 
Prior Phase I and II clinical studies of TLX66 have demonstrated 
encouraging efficacy and safety data in multiple myeloma, 
pediatric leukemia and systemic amyloid light chain amyloidosis 
(SALA), a rare disease with a poor prognosis characterised by 
abnormal protein deposition in the organs of the body. The 
Phase I TRALA clinical trial of TLX66 in patients with SALA was 
recently completed, with final data readout imminent. The 
TheraPharm acquisition also adds Scintimun® imaging to the 
portfolio, an approved product in approximately 30 countries 
around the world, indicated for imaging bone infection. Through 
clinical collaboration with key opinion leaders, Telix sees an 
opportunity to significantly expand the utility of this ‘companion 
imaging’ agent to other oncology, inflammation and infection 
imaging applications.

In 2020, Telix made significant progress towards 
its objective of category leadership in urologic 
oncology

Targeted alpha therapy is intended for early-
stage metastatic prostate cancer, or late stage 
disease following 177Lu-PSMA therapy. Telix  
has developed ‘next generation’ TAT agents  
to potentially target these indications

TLX599-CDx broadens patient access to PSMA 
prostate cancer imaging, so that ‘nobody is left 
behind’. This reflects Telix’s ambition to deliver 
products globally

Telix’s dual-labelled PET-optical imaging agent 
TLX591-Sx aims to provide visual guidance to 
the prostate cancer surgeon and ultimately 
improve surgical outcomes. Surgical solutions 
will be a growing focus area for Telix’s platform 
technology

SALA is an orphan disease indication with an 
annual incidence of approximately 12 per 
1,000,000 population. Telix views rare disease 
indications as a potential acceleration strategy 
across the entire pipeline

Total addressable market value for TLX66 in 
US and Europe estimated at US$550M, with 
potential upside for TLX66-CDx (imaging).  
TLX66-CDx is currently approved and marketed 
as Scintimun® in approximately 30 countries

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 2020PEOPLE AND CULTURE

As Telix transitions to a commercial stage, revenue-generating 
company it is vitally important for the Company to continue 
to recruit and develop its outstanding team, and harness the 
strength of diversity and talent that is present worldwide. 

During 2020, Telix appointed globally experienced leaders to its 
key medical, regulatory, quality and clinical functions, including 
Group Chief Medical Officer (US), Senior Vice President Global 
Regulatory Affairs (US), Global Director of Quality (Australia) and 
Global Director of Clinical Operations (Australia). Building the 
leadership and capability of these critical functional areas has 
significantly strengthened Telix’s ability to effectively develop 
its product portfolio and efficiently bring these state-of-the-art 
diagnostic and therapeutic products to commercial realisation. 

Transitioning to becoming a commercial stage organisation also 
requires experienced commercial and operational teams that 
are patient-centric in everything they do. With the objective of 
ensuring broad patient access to oncology and rare disease 
products that are available when required, Telix further built 
out its Sales & Marketing and Manufacturing & Supply Chain 
functions, adding highly experienced, senior people across 
North America, Europe and Australia. Telix’s leadership 
recognises that as it becomes a commercial stage company, 
it will require different skills and ways of thinking, however the 
Company must make this transition without losing its innovative 
drug development approach. 

“I joined Telix via the ANMI1 
acquisition, as we were growing 
from a small Belgian company to 
one with a worldwide footprint

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 2020PARTNERSHIPS AND TRANSACTIONS

Telix recognises, that to deliver 
on its mission to help patients 
with cancer live longer, better 
quality lives, all the available 
therapeutic modalities 
addressing cancer need to 
be deployed, in the optimal 
combination and sequence, in 
the optimally selected patient. 
These modalities include the 
specialty domains of:

•   Medical, surgical,  

radiation, interventional  
and immuno-oncology

•   Nuclear medicine

•   Cell and gene therapy

•   Bone marrow 

transplantation and  
rare diseases 

In 2020, the partnerships, 
collaborations and 
transactions Telix entered 
into were directed across 
each of these domains, with 
the objective of enabling 
diagnostic and therapeutic 
radiopharmaceuticals  
to facilitate, augment 
and synergise with these 
established approaches  
to cancer care.

Varian Medical Systems

RefleXion Medical 

Advanced prostate imaging
In September, Telix entered into a 
strategic collaboration with Palo Alto, 
California (US) based market leading 
cancer therapy company Varian Medical 
Systems, to evaluate the use of advanced 
prostate cancer imaging within Varian’s 
radiation treatment planning platform. 
Telix’s collaboration with Varian aims to 
utilise Telix’s extensive PSMA PET imaging 
data, to potentially develop new image-
guided treatment planning functions, 
automated analysis and artificial 
intelligence capabilities within Varian’s 
radiation treatment planning platforms. 

“Our collaboration with Telix is 
investigating the potential to 
incorporate rich diagnostic information 
into Varian’s bioinformatics and 
radiation treatment planning platforms 
to generate highly personalised and 
targeted radiation therapy for men 
with prostate cancer. The additional 
diagnostic and cancer staging 
information provided by PSMA  
PET/CT imaging may offer  
important insights that impact  
clinical care decisions for prostate 
cancer patients.”

Dr Corey Zankowski – Senior Vice 
President of Varian’s Oncology  
Software Solutions

Improved treatment for high-risk  
or recurrent urological cancers
During July, Telix entered into a 
strategic collaboration with RefleXion 
Medical, a Hayward, California (US) 
based radiation oncology company 
pioneering the development of biology-
guided radiotherapy (BgRT) for the 
treatment of advanced cancers. The 
strategic collaboration will evaluate 
Telix’s PET imaging tracers TLX591-
CDx (68Ga-PSMA-11) and TLX250-CDx 
(89Zr-Girentuximab) to guide BgRT for 
the treatment of prostate and kidney 
cancers, respectively.

Telix’s PET tracers, which are designed 
to target specific types of cancer may 
enable more accurate guidance of BgRT 
for prostate and kidney cancers, than 
currently available PET tracers. In the 
future, the collaboration with RefleXion 
may enable Telix to expand the 
indications for TLX591-CDx and  
TLX250-CDx for use in BgRT.

“The use of Telix’s cancer-specific 
PET tracers may help guide biology-
guided radiotherapy in patients with 
more advanced forms of prostate 
and kidney cancer. Combining these 
technologies could bring us a step  
closer to improving outcomes for 
patients with metastatic disease.”

TheraPharm acquisition

Hematologic cancers and  
rare diseases
In December, Telix acquired Baar 
(Switzerland) based biotechnology 
company TheraPharm for $32.7 million 
(€20.2 million) comprising upfront, and 
future earn-out and royalty payments. 
Through acquiring TheraPharm, Telix 
has extended its MTR pipeline into 
hematologic (blood) cancer, transplant 
medicine, and several under-served 
rare diseases including amyloidosis, 
also known as SALA. While Telix gained 
access to the diagnostic product 
Scintimun® (99mTc-besilesomab) which is 
approved in Europe for the indication 
of locating suspected bone infection 
(osteomyelitis), Telix also gained 
access to the clinical-stage therapeutic 
product 90Y-besilesomab, which targets 
CD66 expressed on white blood cells. 
90Y-besilesomab has been granted 
orphan drug designation status in Europe 
for the broad indication of Bone Marrow 
Conditioning (BMC) for Hematopoietic 
Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT), 
providing significant potential for  
the fast-track development of 
90Y-besilesomab for the treatment  
of SALA.

“Over the past five years, TheraPharm, 
in collaboration with Dr. Kim Orchard 
from the University of Southampton 
(UK), has made excellent progress 
developing 90Y-besilesomab for the 
treatment of hematologic cancers  
and several related conditions 
including multiple myeloma,  
leukemia and amyloidosis. This unique 
asset is a logical addition to Telix’s 
portfolio, offering a potentially rapid 
development path to a commercial 
product for the treatment of patients 
with SALA.”

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 2020PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY 
IN THE YEAR UNDER REVIEW

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited is a late-stage radiopharmaceutical 
company focused on the development of diagnostic and 
therapeutic products using Molecularly Targeted Radiation 
(MTR). Telix is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia with 
international operations in Belgium, Japan and the US. Telix 
is developing a portfolio of clinical-stage products that 
address significant unmet medical need in oncology and rare 
diseases. Telix was established on 3 January 2017 and listed on 
the Australian Securities Exchange on 15 November 2017.

Activities during the year were principally directed to securing 
strategic commercial global partnerships, establishing Telix 
as a globally recognised oncology and rare diseases company,

expressed on specific types of immune/blood cells. Telix intends 
to develop this asset for therapeutic and diagnostic applications 
in hematologic oncology, bone marrow transplantation and rare 
diseases.

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 2020DIRECTORS’ REPORT CONTINUED

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During 2020, Telix made substantial progress on its mission to 
help patients with cancer live longer, better quality lives, and 
towards achieving the Company’s vision of becoming a global 
leader in the delivery of disruptive precision oncology products. 
This progress occurred across all facets of Telix’s business, 
during a year in which the COVID-19 global pandemic affected 
human health to an extent not seen for decades, and wreaked 
operational havoc across numerous industry sectors. 

Very significantly for a pre-commercial stage pharmaceutical 
company, during 2020, Telix filed its inaugural regulatory 
applications for its first MTR product Illuccix® (Kit for the 
preparation of 68Ga-PSMA-11) for the imaging of prostate cancer. 
Firstly, Telix filed a Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) 
with the Danish Medicines Agency (DKMA) for Denmark and 
a basket of 13 other European member states (14 in total) in 
April. This European submission was subsequently followed by a 
New Drug Application (NDA) that was made to the United States 
Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in September. Each of these 
regulatory submissions has made significant progress during 
2020, with the expectation that European and US marketing 
authorisations will be granted for Illuccix® during 2021, ahead 
of commercial launch of this highly anticipated, next-generation 
prostate cancer imaging product. 

Telix’s second MTR product, the renal cancer imaging agent 
TLX250-CDx (89Zr-girentuximab) also achieved significant 
clinical and regulatory progress towards its commercialisation 
during the year. In January, the US FDA approved Telix’s 
Phase III Investigational New Drug (IND) application, enabling 
the recruitment of patients into Telix’s international, multi-
centre Phase III ‘ZIRCON’ trial in the US. This milestone was 
followed by the FDA granting TLX250-CDx Breakthrough 
Therapy (BT) designation in July. BT designation is an important 
accomplishment for the Company, as it grants Telix the 
opportunity to interact closely with the FDA, potentially 
expediting the regulatory approval process for TLX250-CDx 
in the US, following completion of the ZIRCON study. 

Manufacturing and supplying diagnostic and therapeutic 
radiopharmaceutical products to patients at commercial 
scale requires considerable manufacturing, supply chain and 
distribution expertise. In April, Telix entered into a definitive 
commercial distribution agreement with Columbus, Ohio (US) 
based Cardinal Health (NYSE: CAH) to provide radio-pharmacy 
and logistics services to support the commercial distribution 
of Illuccix®, utilising Cardinal Health’s nationwide US network 
of over 130 nuclear pharmacies. Under the terms of this 
agreement, Cardinal Health will prepare and deliver patient-
specific unit-doses of Illuccix® for the US market, following the 
granting of US marketing authorisation from the FDA. With 
the aim of ensuring equitable access to advanced prostate 
cancer imaging, Telix entered into a further commercial 
distribution agreement in May with Boca Raton, Florida (US) 
based Pharmalogic Holdings Corp. to provide nuclear pharmacy 
and logistics services to further support the commercial 
distribution of Illuccix®. Pharmalogic will prepare and deliver 
patient-specific unit-doses of Illuccix® through its network of 
27 nuclear pharmacies, predominantly in regional and rural 
areas in the US.

28

In Europe, Telix completed the acquisition of a licensed 
radiopharmaceutical production facility in Seneffe, Belgium 
from German company Eckert & Ziegler Strahlen und 
Medizintechnik AG (EZAG) in April. Telix’s Seneffe facility has 
one of the broadest private sector medical isotope licences in 
Europe which delivers significant operational flexibility to Telix. 
This vertically integrated approach to radioisotope and finished 
radiopharmaceutical production has the ability to meet the 
Company’s commercial production needs for its entire product 
portfolio in Europe, both increasing Telix’s independence and 
reducing Telix’s exposure to interruptions in radioisotope 
supply. Completion of the acquisition of this facility required 
approval from Belgium’s Federal Agency for Nuclear Control 
(FANC) for the transfer of the site’s active radiation licence 
to Telix, as well as an amendment of the radiation licence to 
enable R&D and production activities to commence using the 
isotopes required for Telix’s product portfolio.

To develop a global leadership position in the 
radiopharmaceuticals market, Telix’s Management believes that 
a robust commercial plan for Greater China – which includes 
mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR and Taiwan – 
and the broader Asian geographic region is necessary. In 
November, Telix entered into a long- term strategic commercial 
partnership with China Grand Pharmaceutical and Healthcare 
Holdings Limited (CGP) (HKSE: 512.HK) for Telix’s portfolio of 
diagnostic and therapeutic MTR products. The partnership, 
which represents more than $400 million in value to Telix based 
on the achievement of regulatory and commercial milestones, 
delivered an immediate cash injection of $68.91 million and 
secured an excellent China partner for Telix, with an established 
track record in oncology product development, including the 
development of therapeutic radioactive products.

Telix also took steps to expand its innovative diagnostic and 
therapeutic solutions pipeline through the acquisition of 
TheraPharm GmbH (TheraPharm) which provides Telix with 
access to a portfolio of patents, technologies, production 
systems, clinical data and know-how in relation to the use of 
MTR in hematology and immunology. Telix acquired antibody 
MTR technology against CD66, a cell surface target highly 
expressed by neutrophils and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. 
Telix believes the technology has potentially very broad 
applications in the diagnosis and treatment of hematologic 
diseases (e.g. blood cancers), infection management and a 
variety of lymphoproliferative diseases. 

During 2020, Telix made numerous key appointments to its 
senior leadership as well as in key functional areas including Sales 
& Marketing, Medical Affairs, Quality & Regulatory, Information 
Technology and Manufacturing and Supply Chain. Combined 
with the successful implementation of new Enterprise Resource 
Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) 
tools during the year, Telix has ensured it possesses both the 
experienced talent as well as the executional capacity and 
capability to enable successful transition to commercialisation 
during 2021. 

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 2020FORWARD STRATEGY AND 
OPERATIONAL TARGETS

Telix’s corporate objectives for 2021 are underpinned by three 
key themes: 

1.  Being patient-centric in everything we do

2.  Becoming a revenue generating company 

3.  Building a sustainable team 

The Company’s forward corporate objectives are 
intended to build on the foundational work of 2020 and 
ensure Telix’s successful transition from a pre-commercial 
stage pharmaceutical company to commercialisation during 
the 2021 financial year. 

Transition to commercial revenue

In 2021, Telix expects to become a financially sustainable, 
revenue generating company based on the successful launch 
of its first product, Illuccix® (Kit for the preparation of 68Ga-
PSMA-11) for the imaging of prostate cancer. To achieve 
this pivotal outcome, Telix expects to obtain the required 
regulatory approvals in key territories, comprising US, Europe 
and Australia. Successful commercial launch of Illuccix® 
will also require the further build-out of Telix’s commercial 
teams and infrastructure in each key market and the effective 
operationalisation of the Company’s commercial distribution 
partnerships, including system integration and robust 
forecasting capabilities. Telix is in a strong position to realise the 
clinical and commercial potential from its first product, given 
PSMA-based imaging of prostate cancer has rapidly emerged  
as the new standard of clinical care, and is already included  
in the clinical practice guidelines of both the American Society 
of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the European Association  
of Urology (EAU). 

Second commercial product

While launching the Company’s first commercial product 
represents a major inflection point for Telix, a significant 
advantage Telix possesses relative to its peer group, is a broad 
and deep pipeline of clinical stage, as well as earlier pre-clinical 
stage assets. During 2021, Telix aims to be in a position to launch 
a ‘fast following’ second product, TLX250-CDx (89Zr-girentuximab) 
for the imaging of renal cancer, thus delivering a significant 
commercial de-risk to the business. To achieve this outcome, 
Telix expects to complete the Phase III ‘ZIRCON’ trial during 2021, 
following which a Biologics License Application (BLA) will be filed 
with the US FDA and other regulatory authorities. Given TLX250-
CDx was granted Breakthrough Therapy designation by the FDA 
during 2020 and TLX250-CDx is expected to be the first product 
of its type on the market for the diagnosis of ‘indeterminate 
renal masses’, Telix expects this product to significantly reduce 
the Company’s commercial risk through diversification of its 
commercial-stage product portfolio. 

Therapeutic programs

Beyond imaging, Telix expects to demonstrably transition from 
a diagnostics-focused company to a multi-product therapeutics 
company during 2021. Telix intends to commence the Phase III 
‘ProstACT’ trial for TLX591 (prostate cancer therapy) in Australia 
and is in the process of submitting a clinical trial notification 
(CTN) to the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) 
during the first quarter of 2021. Telix expects to add Australian 
and European sites progressively to the ProstACT trial during 
the year. Based on the ProstACT trial requirements indicated 
by the US FDA, Telix expects to add US patients to the ProstACT 
study during the second half of 2021, subject to FDA approval. 

Telix also expects to commence recruitment of patients into its 
two Phase II ‘STARLITE’ trials of TLX250 (renal cancer therapy) 
during the first half of 2021, and obtain the definitive final data 
from the Company’s ongoing Phase I/II ‘IPAX-1’ trial of TLX101 
(glioblastoma therapy) to facilitate discussions with regulatory 
authorities in relation to pivotal registration trial design for TLX101. 

Further, Telix plans to materially advance its ‘Targeted Alpha 
Therapy’ (TAT) program, with the first clinical data becoming 
available from the Company’s first in human biodistribution study 
of TLX592 during 2021. These critical data will enable Telix to 
design the Company’s first therapy trials for this unique TAT asset. 

Workforce development

As Telix transitions to commercialisation in 2021, a critical enabler 
will be to recruit and retain a high performing and sustainable 
global workforce that continues to deliver outcomes at high 
velocity and quality. A focus on hiring for Telix’s business critical 
roles at speed in 2021 will be an accelerator in achieving Telix’s 
strategic and operational objectives. In the first quarter of 2021, 
Telix will reinvigorate its recruitment and selection processes 
to ensure the Company is able to attract top talent globally, 
with efficiency and reliability. Moreover, measurable targets will 
be put in place relating to Telix’s speed to hire talent, retention 
of its top performers and increasing employee engagement. 
Initiatives will also commence to further develop the diversity 
and inclusion of Telix’s workforce and wellbeing practices. 

LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS 
AND EXPECTED RESULTS

The likely developments in the operations of the Group and 
the expected results from those operations in future financial 
years will be affected by the success of management in 
reaching critical development and commercial milestones 
in its core programs. This will include becoming a financially 
sustainable, revenue generating company based on the 
successful launch of its first product, Illuccix®; launching 
TLX250-CDx (89Zr-girentuximab) for the imaging of renal cancer; 
and demonstrably transitioning from a diagnostics-focused 
company to a multi-product therapeutics company.

REGULATORY AND 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER  
THE BALANCE DATE 

Telix is required to carry out its activities in accordance with 
applicable environment and human safety regulations in 
each of the jurisdictions in which it undertakes its operations. 
Commencing in 2020, this also includes environmental 
regulations relevant to its licensed radiopharmaceutical 
production facility in Seneffe, Belgium. 

Telix has obligations of annual inspections by FANC and FANC’s 
subsidiary in charge of the regulatory controls and safety 
assessments, BEL-V. Telix’s obligations with respect to these 
regulations have been met and are up to date. The Seneffe 
site is considered a “brownfield” site but has been largely 
decommissioned from prior use. The site passed the requisite 
environmental audits on 2 December 2020. 

Other than two cyclotron vaults, the site has been 
decontaminated by the prior owner. Contracts are in place 
between Telix and SCK-CEN for the decommissioning of the 
cyclotron vaults. Decommissioning has commenced. 

Beyond those mentioned above the Company is not aware 
of any matter that requires disclosure with respect to any 
significant regulations in respect of its operating activities. 

There have been no issues of non-compliance during the year.

On 27 January 2021, the Company agreed to issue 2,226,856 
unlisted share options with an exercise price of $4.38 and an 
expiry date of 26 January 2026. The options were issued to staff 
and consultants to the Company. Of those options, 100,708 
were agreed to be issued to MD & CEO C Behrenbruch subject 
to shareholder approval, which will be sought at the Company’s 
2021 AGM.

On 16 February 2021, the Company announced the Ministry 
of Health of the Czech Republic as the first European health 
authority to grant a temporary national authorisation allowing 
the use of TLX591-CDx (Kit for the preparation of 68Ga-PSMA-11).

On 22 February 2021, the Company announced that its 
subsidiary, Telix Pharmaceuticals Japan KK, in collaboration 
with Kanazawa University, has received Clinical Trial Notification 
(CTN) clearance by the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical 
Devices Agency (PMDA) to commence a Phase I trial of its 
prostate cancer imaging product TLX591-CDx in Japan. The 
purpose of the trial is to obtain preliminary clinical data in a 
suitable patient population, confirming that the targeting and 
pharmacology of TLX591-CDx is equivalent to non-Japanese 
patients. Such clinical data will support future planning 
discussions with the objective of regulator product  
approval in Japan.

Other than the matters referred to above, there were no 
subsequent events that required adjustment to or disclosure  
in the Directors’ Report or the Financial Report of the Company 
for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 2020LETTER FROM CHAIRMAN OF NOMINATION AND REMUNERATION COMMITTEE

Dear Shareholder

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present the Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 2020. This Report 
contains information regarding the remuneration arrangements for the directors and key management personnel (KMP) for the 
Company during 2020. 

The corporate objectives approved by the Board in December 2019 were reviewed in April 2020, subsequent to the global impacts 
associated with the COVID-19 crisis, and were reset to proactively address the new global situation with the aim of maximising 
productivity and focus in a challenging time as well as maintaining team morale and engagement. As described within this Report, 
revised corporate objectives focused on commercial-readiness activities across the global business from targets for regulatory 
submissions related to the Company’s development programs, to infrastructure and system refinements, and people and culture 
initiatives in line with the Group’s growth targets. Actual achievement against revised corporate objectives was 91%. The Board 
recognises and thanks the CEO and his team for their collective efforts through the difficulty of COVID-19 and for the direct positive 
impact their efforts made to the Company.

The Board is committed to a remuneration framework that drives a culture of performance and that links overall remuneration and 
incentives to the achievement of the Group’s long-term strategy and business objectives. The Board assesses the remuneration 
framework on an annual basis, and firmly believes that our current remuneration framework is fit for purpose for the Company in 
that it is effective to both reward and incentivise, is aligned to shareholder and stakeholder interests, and supports our global team 
in their work towards achieving the Company’s global business goals. 

Prior to 31 December 2020 remuneration benchmarking was undertaken through the review of market data of a comparison 
group of organisations with similar corporate profiles to Telix. This review established that base salaries of KMP and those senior 
executive that report to the CEO (“CxO”) did not meet the Board’s aim of base salaries at the median of peer group companies. 
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee considered the recommendations of the CEO for KMP and CxO remuneration and 
recommended to the Board that the market median base salary be achieved stepwise over three years (for alignment with the 
median by the end of the 2023 financial year). To support this stepwise approach over three years commencing 1 January 2021, 
base salary delta will be supplemented by equity incentive awards in the form of market-priced options. Further information on this 
review and outcomes is within this Report. 

In setting and reviewing the remuneration policy, the Board considers the remuneration guidelines of shareholder and corporate 
governance advisors. In the event that we depart from these guidelines, we explain the Board’s reasoning. The Board aims to 
provide clarity in the remuneration framework so that our shareholders, employees and all other interested parties understand  
how remuneration at Telix helps drive the business forward.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

Remuneration practice and philosophy

This Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 
2020 outlines the remuneration arrangements of the Group in 
accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 
(Cth) and its regulations. This information has been audited as 
required by section 308(3C) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

The Remuneration Report details the remuneration arrangements 
for key management personnel (KMP) who are defined as 
those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, 
directing and controlling the major activities of the Company, 
directly or indirectly, including any Director, whether executive 
or otherwise.

For the purposes of this report, the term ‘Director’ refers to 
Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) only. ‘KMP’ refers to Executive 
Directors and other key management personnel.

The names and details of the Directors and KMP of the Group 
in office during the financial year and until the date of this report 
are detailed below. Unless otherwise noted, Directors and KMP 
listed are in office at the date of this report.

Other key management personnel

The Group’s guiding principle for remuneration is that 
remuneration should be simple and transparent, should reward 
achievement, and should facilitate the alignment of shareholder 
and executive interests. The Company’s philosophy is that 
shareholder and executive interests are best aligned:

•  by providing levels of fixed remuneration and ‘at risk’ pay 

sufficient to attract and retain individuals with the skills and 
experience required to build on and execute the Company’s 
business strategy;

•  by ensuring ‘at risk’ remuneration is contingent on outcomes 

that grow and/or protect shareholder value; and

•  by ensuring a suitable proportion of remuneration is received 

as a share-based payment so that reward is earned by 
achievement and performance over the longer term.

The Telix leadership team is responsible for making and 
executing decisions that build Group value. In setting the 
remuneration philosophy and design, the Board aims to 
balance reward for short-term results with long-term business 
performance and value creation.

Our remuneration, rewards and benefits design recognises 
the remuneration guidelines of shareholder and corporate 
governance advisors and explains where we depart from them 
in specific instances. The Board’s aim is to provide clarity so that 
our shareholders, executives, and all other interested parties 
understand how remuneration at Telix helps drive the business 
strategy and shareholder alignment.

Policy and process for remuneration setting 
and review

The Group aims to reward personnel with a level and mix 
of remuneration commensurate with their position and 
responsibilities so as to:

•  attract and retain appropriately capable and talented 

Doug Cubbin

Group Chief Financial Officer

individuals to the Company;

Gabriel Liberatore PhD

Group Chief Operating Officer

•  reward personnel for corporate and individual performance;

(i)  A Kluge was appointed Executive Director on 3 January 2017.  

Dr Kluge transitioned to a Non-Executive Director on 2 June 2020 
following the appointment of the Group Chief Medical Officer.

•  align the interest of personnel with those of shareholders; and

•  build a strong cohesive leadership team which can deliver 

execution excellence against the strategy.

Remuneration consists of:

•  Fixed remuneration

•  Short-term incentives (STI)

•  Long-term incentives (LTI)

•  Benefits

32

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 2020Fixed remuneration

To ensure that the Company continues to attract, retain and 
motivate talented staff at a competitive cost, the Company will 
aim to align total fixed remuneration to the median rate paid 
by others operating in the relevant market, with consideration 
given to experience, qualifications, performance and other 
non-financial benefits. Total fixed remuneration will be reviewed 
using market data to determine what, if any, adjustments may 
need to be made to individual remuneration. Refer to the 
section on “Remuneration and awards for the financial year 
ended 31 December 2020” for discussion on this point  
as it relates to remuneration levels for the years ended  
31 December 2020 and 2021.

Performance and remuneration reviews are combined and  
are conducted on a single cycle which runs from 1 January to  
31 December. There are no automatic adjustments to individual 
total fixed remuneration other than those required by law.

Position descriptions are prepared for all roles. Position 
descriptions are reviewed when necessary due to internal or 
external changes and are considered as part of the annual 
performance and remuneration review. The Nomination  
and Remuneration Committee recommends to the Board  
the remuneration packages for KMP and those executives that 
report to the CEO (“CxOs”). The Committee may seek external 
advice to determine the appropriate level and structure of the 
remuneration packages.

Short-term incentives (STI)

STI reward performance against annual Key Performance 
Indicators (KPIs) – maintaining a focus on underlying value 
creation within the business operations. KPIs, weightings 
and targets are approved by the Board on the advice and 
recommendation of the CEO at the commencement of each 
year. KPIs are set with the primary purpose of incentivising KMP 
to work together to achieve key business-building objectives. STI 
is generally awarded as an annual cash payment. The Board has 
discretion over and approves KPIs and all outcomes at the end 
of the performance year.

STIs comprise 30% of fixed remuneration for the CEO and 
between 10% and 30% for other personnel. Corporate KPIs 
are approved by the Board on an annual basis, and individual 
KPIs and commercial targets are set by the CEO. STI calculations 
and actual payments are based on achievement against 
KPIs. For the year-ended 31 December 2020, the relative 
contributions of corporate and individual KPIs for company 
personnel were:

•  CEO = 100% corporate objectives

•  All other personnel = 75% corporate objectives 

and 25% individual objectives

For the year commencing 1 January 2021 STI payments for 
the CEO and KMP will be determined solely (100%) based on 
achievement against corporate objectives.

Commencing 1 January 2020, the Company included culture 
based KPIs in addition to program and commercial objectives 
against which STI payments are assessed. These culture based 
KPIs promote both performance and the delivery of objectives 
in line with Telix’s Code of Conduct and corporate values.  

For the year ended 31 December 2020 KPI included 
deliverables related to employee engagement, training  
and development of employees, and diversity objectives. 

Long-term incentives (LTI)

LTI are offered to build alignment between KMP and 
stakeholders over the long term. On an annual basis, the 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee considers the 
recommendation of the CEO regarding the issue of LTI in light 
of the performance, financial position and current issued capital 
of the Company. Both the decision to offer and the quantum of 
LTI to be awarded for performance is at the absolute discretion 
of the Board. There will be no automatic grant of LTI following 
each performance and remuneration review. At the discretion 
of the Board, the Company may also offer grants of LTI as an 
award to incentivise high-quality prospective employees to 
join the Company. The Board may also consider equity-based 
remuneration for consultants to the Company as a means of 
preserving cash reserves.

The terms of any LTI grant are determined by the Board. 
LTI grants normally take the form of the issue of unlisted 
share options. Share options are normally issued under the 
Company’s equity incentive plan (EIP). All grants of equity are 
determined by the Board, following a recommendation by 
the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

Prior to 31 December 2020, the Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee reviewed the general terms of new options to be 
issued. Commencing 1 January 2021, options will be typically 
granted with a five-year term and with an exercise price that 
is equal to the 10-day volume weighted average price of Telix 
shares as at the date of grant. As LTIs are offered to incentivise, 
reward and retain personnel, options will typically vest at a 
future point upon achievement of a performance metric. 

The quantum of LTI awards to all employees will typically be 
based on the STI awarded following the annual review of 
performance. LTI awarded for performance will typically match 
(in dollar value) STI awarded for performance. The fair value of 
each LTI will be determined by Black Scholes modelling. The 
number of options awarded will be determined as ‘dollar value 
of award divided by Black Scholes value of one option’. At its 
discretion the Board may determine to issue a lesser value of 
LTI or no LTI. If, due to performance, STI is not awarded then 
all LTI will be forfeited. Performance-based LTI issued on 27 
January 2021 reflect achievement against corporate objectives 
and individual KPIs for the financial year ended 31 December 
2020.  

In the event that a holder of unvested options ceases to be 
employed, unvested options will lapse, except where the ceasing 
of employment is due to death or permanent disability, or in 
any other circumstances determined by the Board to be on a 
‘good leaver’ basis. In these circumstances the Board, in its sole 
discretion, will determine the vesting of any unvested options. 
In the event of a change of control, the Board, at its absolute 
discretion, may determine that a proportion or all unvested 
awards will vest. 

The Board targets that the issue of LTI under the EIP not exceed 
10% of total shares on issue.

Benefits

Market competitive benefits, aligned with the customary 
remuneration arrangements of the broader workforce in the 
country of residence, may include superannuation or local 
pension plans, car parking, telephone and/or participation 
in local health insurance or other benefit programs.

Clawback and malus policy

‘Malus’ means reducing or cancelling all or part of an individual’s 
variable remuneration as a consequence of a materially adverse 
development occurring prior to payment (in the case of cash 
incentives) and/or prior to vesting (in the case of equity incentives). 
‘Clawback’ means seeking recovery of a benefit paid to take into 
account a materially adverse development that only comes to 
light after payment or the vesting of equity incentives.

The Board, in its sole discretion, may reduce, cancel in full, 
or seek to clawback any incentive provided to any employee, 
including former employees, if it determines that an employee 
has at any time acted dishonestly (including, but not limited 
to, misappropriating funds or deliberately concealing a 
transaction); acted or failed to act in a way that contributed 
to a breach of a significant legal or significant regulatory 
requirement relevant to Telix; acted or failed to act in a way 
that contributed to the Group incurring significant reputational 
harm, a significant unexpected financial loss, impairment 
charge, cost or provision; acted or failed to act in a way that 
contributed to Telix making a material financial misstatement; 
and/or committed a breach or non-compliance with the Telix 
Code of Conduct and/or any other employee or governance 
related policies.

Nomination and Remuneration Committee

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is comprised 
wholly of Non-Executive Directors, with the majority being 
independent, Non-Executive Directors. The objective of the 
Nomination and Remuneration Committee is to assist the 
Board in fulfilling its duties and responsibilities by reviewing, 
advising and making recommendations to the Board on:

(a) Nomination

•  Board composition and succession planning, taking into 
account diversity objectives and the mix of Director skills 
and experience;

•  induction and continuing education for Directors;

•  Board performance evaluation; and

•  the performance of the CEO and KMP.

(b) Remuneration

•  implementing policies for the purposes of using 

remuneration to foster long term growth and success;

•  monitoring the implementation by management of the 

Board’s strategic objectives and policies;

•  remuneration for Non-Executive Directors; and

•  remuneration and incentive arrangements for the CEO 

and other KMP.

34

Remuneration and awards for the financial year 
ended 31 December 2020

Remuneration benchmarking was undertaken prior to the 
Company listing on the ASX. During this review, total fixed 
remuneration was benchmarked against a peer group of 50 
comparable (market capitalisation, pre-revenue stage) ASX 
life sciences companies. Since Listing, KMP remuneration 
has represented bottom quartile ASX-benchmarked salary, 
reflective of the ‘start- up’ mode of the Group. 

STI and LTI awards for the financial year ended 31 December 
2020 were applicable to KMP following the achievement of targets 
determined by the Board. The corporate objectives set by the 
Board in December 2019 were reviewed in April 2020, subsequent 
to the global impacts associated with the COVID-19 crisis, and 
were reset to proactively address the new global situation with 
the aim of maximising productivity and focus in a challenging 
time as well as maintaining team morale and engagement. 
Revised corporate objectives included submission of marketing 
authorisations in Europe, the US and other global jurisdictions for 
the prostate imaging product (TLX591-CDx illuccix®); related launch 
plans for the marketing and commercialisation of illuccix® including 
the conclusion of material distribution agreements; reactivation 
(post-COVID) of the global clinical trial program; targets associated 
with pipeline development; and recruitment of senior roles 
including Chief Medical Officer and SVP of Regulatory Affairs. 

Actual achievement against revised corporate objectives was 91%. 
The Board recognised Management’s efforts through the difficulty 
of COVID and noted that the enhanced market capitalisation of 
the Company was a direct result of the delivery against business 
objectives. 88-91% of STI entitlements due to each eligible KMP for 
the year was awarded. The remaining 9-12% of STI entitlements 
were forfeited. LTI to the dollar value of STI awards were awarded 
to KMP. The issue of LTI awards for performance in the year ended 
31 December 2020 occurred on 27 January 2021. LTI awards had 
the following terms: 

•   Options to acquire Telix shares

•   Term: 5 years 

•   Expiry Date: 26 January 2026

•   Exercise price: $4.38

•   Options vest and become exercisable upon the achievement 

of $100M in cumulative revenue from product sales.

Prior to 31 December 2020 remuneration benchmarking 
was again undertaken through the review of market data of 
a comparison group of organisations with similar corporate 
profiles to Telix. This review established that base salaries did 
not meet the Board’s aim of base salaries at the median of 
peer group companies. The Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee considered the recommendations of the CEO for 
KMP and CxO remuneration and recommended to the Board 
that the market median base salary be achieved stepwise over 
three years (for alignment with the median by the end of the 
2023 financial year). To support this stepwise approach over 
three years commencing 1 January 2021, base salary delta 
would be supplemented by equity incentive awards in the form 
of market-priced options (or “bridging options”). KMP were 
eligible to receive “bridging options” on the same terms as STI 
awarded for performance in the year ended 31 December 
2020. Bridging options were issued on 27 January 2021.

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 2020Non-Executive Director remuneration

All Non-Executive Directors enter into a letter of appointment, 
which summarises obligations, policies and terms of appointment, 
including remuneration, relevant to the office of Director of 
the Company.

In accordance with the Constitution of the Company and ASX 
Listing Rules, the aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive 
Directors is determined from time to time by General Meeting. 
The last determination for Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited 
was made at the General Meeting of shareholders held 
on 22 May 2019. At that meeting, shareholders approved 
an aggregate annual remuneration cash pool for Non-
Executive Directors of $500,000. The total Non-Executive 
Director remuneration of Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited for 
the year ended 31 December 2020 utilised $382,800 of this 
authorised amount.

Fees to Non-Executive Directors reflect the obligations, 
responsibilities and demands which are made on Directors. 
Prior to Listing, the Board resolved that fees for Non-Executive 
Directors should only be paid as cash fees and that fees will 
be reviewed periodically by the Board. In conducting these 
reviews the Board will consider market information to seek 
to ensure that fees are in line with the market, as well as the 
financial position of the Company. Prior to 31 December 2020, 
the Nomination and Remuneration Committee reviewed public 
market data of a comparison group of organisations with similar 
corporate profiles to Telix. The Committee recommended to the 
Board that Non-executive Director remuneration levels target 
market median. As a result of this recommendation, effective 1 
January 2021, the Board introduced Committee fees for Non-
executive Directors, which in prior years had not formed part 
of Non-executive Director remuneration. Fees in the following 
amounts were agreed: Chairperson of a Committee of the 
Board: $15,000 per annum. Member of a Committee of the 
Board: $7,500 per annum. The Chairman of the Board is not 
compensated for Committee Membership but is compensated 
as Chairperson of the Nomination and Remuneration 
Committee. Annualised fees are base remuneration fees 
inclusive of superannuation (where applicable).

(i)  A Kluge was appointed Executive Director on 3 January 2017. Dr Kluge transitioned to a Non-Executive Director on 2 June 2020 following the 

appointment of the Group Chief Medical Officer. The fee listed above came into effect on 1 February 2019.

(ii)  In consideration for agreeing to join the Board, and in lieu of an equity grant at the time of appointment, the Board offered Ms Skinner an additional 
fee of $14,345 per annum (inclusive of statutory superannuation), effective to the date of the Company’s 2019 AGM. Following shareholder 
approval for the issue of options to Ms Skinner, the fee ceased to be payable effective 1 June 2019.

Non-Executive Directors are able to participate in the 
Company’s Equity Incentive Plan (EIP) under which equity 
may be issued subject to Shareholder approval. Options are 
normally not issued to Non-Executive Directors as an ‘incentive’ 
under the EIP but in appropriate cases as a means of cost-
effective consideration for agreeing to join the Board.

Following Shareholder approval at the EGM held on 13 October 
2017, Non-Executive Directors were granted Director options, 
the vesting of which was contingent on the Company’s IPO 
and listing. These options became eligible to vest upon listing 
and vested equally over three years from the date of issue. 
The options have an exercise price of $0.85 per option and 
an expiry of 14 October 2021. The Company considered that 
grant of Director options allowed the Company to maintain 

cash reserves for its operations while providing cost-effective 
consideration to the Non-Executive Directors for agreeing to 
join the Board (in the case of Messrs McCann and Nelson) and 
rewarding their commitment and contribution to the Company 
(in the case of Mr Buck).

Ms Jann Skinner joined the Board as a Non-Executive 
Director on 19 June 2018. At the AGM held on 22 May 2019, 
shareholders approved the issue of 495,000 options in the 
Company to Ms Skinner. Options offered have a four-year 
term, with an expiry date of 24 January 2023. The exercise 
price of $1.09 per option is a 44% premium to the five-day 
volume weighted average closing price prior to the day of 
issue ($0.7561). Options remain unvested for a three-year 
period and will ‘cliff vest’ on 24 January 2022.

The Company was established on 3 January 2017 and listed on ASX on 15 November 2017. Performance data prior to 2017  
is not available.

ROUNDING OF AMOUNTS

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Legislative Instrument 2016/191, relating to the ‘rounding off’ of amounts in the 
Directors’ Report. Amounts in the Directors’ Report have been rounded off in accordance with the instrument to the nearest 
thousand dollars, or in certain cases, to the nearest dollar.

INDEMNITY

Subject to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and rule 10.2 of the Constitution of Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited, the Company must 
indemnify each Director, Secretary and Executive Officer to the maximum extent permitted by law against any liability incurred by them 
by virtue of their holding office as, and acting in the capacity of, Director, Secretary or Executive Officer of the Company, other than:

a)  a liability owed to the Company or a related body corporate of the Company;

b)  a liability for a pecuniary penalty order under section 1317G of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) or a compensation order under 

section 1317H of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth);

c)  a liability owed to a person other than the Company that did not arise out of conduct in good faith.

The Company has paid premiums in respect of a contract insuring its Directors, the Company Secretary and Executive Officers for 
the financial year ended 31 December 2020. Under the Company’s Directors and Officers Liability Insurance Policy, the Company 
cannot disclose the nature of the liabilities insured by the policy or the amount of the premium.

Indemnification of auditors

To the extent permitted by law, the Company has agreed to indemnify its auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers, as part of the terms 
of its audit engagement agreement, against claims by third parties arising from the audit. No payment has been made to indemnify 
PricewaterhouseCoopers during or since the financial year.

AUDITOR INDEPENDENCE AND NON-AUDIT SERVICES

A statement of independence has been provided by the Company’s auditors and is attached to this report. 

During the year the Company’s auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, performed non-audit services related to tax structuring. In the 
year ended 31 December 2020, the total amount paid or payable to PricewaterhouseCoopers for non-audit services was $37,000 
(2019: $5,500). During the year non PricewaterhouseCoopers audit firms performed non-audit services related to an analysis of the 
business case related to the acquisition of the Seneffe manufacturing site and facility. In the year ended 31 December 2020, the total 
amount paid or payable to non PricewaterhouseCoopers audit firms for non-audit services was $34,000 (2019: $NIL). The provision of 
non-audit services is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), 
and the Directors are satisfied that the nature, scope and quantum of the non-audit services provided did not compromise auditor 
independence.

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 2020NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION 

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (“Telix” or “the Company”) is a for profit company limited by shares incorporated in Australia whose 
shares have been publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange since its listing on 15 November 2017 (ASX:TLX). Telix is 
developing a portfolio of clinical-stage products that address significant unmet medical need in oncology and rare diseases.  
Telix is the Parent company of the Telix Pharmaceuticals Group (“the Group”).

This consolidated financial report of Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited for the year ended 31 December 2020 was authorised for issue 
in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 26 February 2021. 

2. SEGMENT REPORTING 

The Telix Pharmaceuticals Group is an oncology group with operations in Australia, the United States, Belgium and Japan. The Group 
does not currently consider that the risks and returns of the Group are affected by differences in either the products or services it 
provides, nor the geographical areas in which the Group operates. As such the Group operates as one segment. Group performance 
is evaluated based on operating profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the financial statements. Financing 
(including finance costs and finance income) and income taxes are managed on a Group basis.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these financial statements are summarised below. 

3.1 Going concern

The Group is a development stage medical biotechnology company and as such expects to be utilising cash until its research 
activities have become marketable. For the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group incurred an operating loss of $44,887,000 
(2019: $27,867,000) and cash provided by operating activities of $1,960,000 (2019: ($23,333,000)). As at 31 December 2020 the net 
assets of the Group stood at $79,016,000 (2019: $70,081,000), with cash on hand at $77,945,000 (2019: $44,598,000).

The Group has recorded current trade and other receivables in the amount of $12,239,000 (2019: $11,326,000) from the Australian 
Taxation Office (“ATO”) in respect of its Research and Development (“R&D”) tax incentive claim for eligible R&D activities undertaken 
in the year to 31 December 2020. The Group expects to receive this amount during the 12 months ending 31 December 2021.

Cash on hand at 31 December 2020 is considered sufficient to meet the Group’s forecast cash outflows in relation to research and 
development activities currently underway and other committed business activities for at least 12 months from the date of this report. 

On 2 November 2020, the Group entered into a strategic commercial partnership with China Grand Pharmaceutical and Healthcare 
Holdings Limited (‘CGP’) for the Group’s portfolio of MTR products. CGP made an equity investment of $35,401,000 (US$25,000,000)  
in the form of a placement to CGP of 20,947,181 fully paid ordinary Telix shares.

Additional shares were issued via exercise of employee share plan of $838,000. The Directors are satisfied that there is sufficient working 
capital to support the committed research activities over the coming 12 months and the Group has the ability to realise its assets and pay 
its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business

On this basis, the Directors are satisfied that the Group continues to be a going concern as at the date of this report. Further, the Directors 
are of the opinion that no asset is likely to be realised for an amount less than the amount at which it is recorded in the consolidated 
statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020.

As such, no adjustment has been made to the financial report relating to the recoverability and classification of the asset carrying 
amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Group not continue as a going concern.

3.2 Basis of preparation 

These general-purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and 
Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). Telix Pharmaceuticals 
Limited is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest 
thousand, unless otherwise indicated.

a. Compliance with IFRS 
The consolidated financial statements of the Telix Pharmaceuticals Group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards 
(IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). 

b. Historical cost convention 
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following: intellectual property, share based 
payments, government grants and contingent consideration and decommissioning liabilities which are measured at fair value.

51

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 20203. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED

3.2 Basis of preparation CONTINUED

c. Comparatives and rounding
Where necessary, comparative information has been re-classified to achieve consistency in disclosure with current financial amounts 
and other disclosures. The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC Legislative Instrument 2016/191, relating to the ‘rounding off’ 
of amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been rounded off in 
accordance with the instrument to the nearest thousand dollars, or in some cases the nearest dollar. 

d. New and amended standards adopted by the Group
The group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing  
1 January 2020:

•  AASB 2018-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of Material (AASB 101 and AASB 108)

•  AASB 2018-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Definition of a Business (AASB 3)

•  AASB 2019-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (AASB 9, AASB 139 and AASB 7)

•  AASB 2019-5 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Disclosure of the Effect of New IFRS Standards Not Yet issued in 

Australia (AASB 1054)

•  Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting and AASB 2019-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – References  

to the Conceptual Framework 

The amendments listed above did not have any impact on the amounts recognised in prior periods and are not expected to 
significantly affect the current or future periods.

e. New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2020 
reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. These standards are not expected to have a material impact  
on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

3.3 Principles of consolidation 

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group 
is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through 
its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the 
Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. 

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses 
are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of 
subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. 

3.4 Current and non-current classification 

Assets and liabilities are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. 
An asset is current when it is expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the Group’s normal operating cycle; it is 
held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is 
cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting 
period. All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is current when it is expected to be settled in the Group’s normal 
operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; 
or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other 
liabilities are classified as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current. 

3.5 Cash and cash equivalents 

For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, 
deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months 
or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and 
bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position. 

52

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDTelix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 20203.6 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets 

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable 
the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount 
recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking 
into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted 
using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a 
finance cost, other than contingent consideration liabilities where the fair value measurement is recognised in profit and loss.

3.7 Foreign currency translation 

a. Functional and presentation currency 
Items included in the financial statements of the Group are measured in Australian dollars, being the currency of the primary economic 
environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). (The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars). 

b. Transactions and balances 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. 
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets 
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss. Foreign 
exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the statement of comprehensive income or loss, within finance 
costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income or loss on a net basis 
within other income or other expenses. 

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the 
fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain 
or loss.  

c. Group companies 
The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a 
functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

•  assets and liabilities for each consolidated statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date 

of that consolidated statement of financial position

•  income and expenses for each consolidated statement of total comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates 
(unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which 
case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and 

•  all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings 
and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in other comprehensive income. When a 
foreign operation is sold or any borrowings forming part of the net investment are repaid, the associated exchange differences are 
reclassified to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a 
foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate. 

3.8 Government grant income (R&D tax incentive income) 

Income from government grants is recognised at fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and 
the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Income from government grants is recognised in the on a systematic basis over 
the periods in which the entity recognises as expense the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.  
See further information in critical estimates, judgements and errors. 

3.9 Income tax 

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period’s taxable income based on the applicable 
income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences 
and to unused tax losses. 

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and 
liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they 
arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset 
or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable 
profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the 
end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income 
tax liability is settled. 

Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary 
differences and losses. 

53

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 20203. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED

3.9 Income tax CONTINUED

Tax consolidation regime 
Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited and its wholly owned Australian resident entities have formed a tax-consolidated group and are therefore 
taxed as a single entity. The head entity within the tax-consolidated group is Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited. The Company, and the 
members of the tax-consolidated group, recognise their own current tax expense/income and deferred tax assets and liabilities arising 
from temporary differences using the ‘standalone taxpayer’ approach by reference to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 
in the separate financial statements of each entity and the tax values applying under tax consolidation. In addition to its current and 
deferred tax balances, the Company also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets), and the deferred tax assets arising from 
unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from members of the tax-consolidated group, as part of the tax-consolidation 
arrangement. Assets or liabilities arising as part of the tax consolidation arrangement are recognised as current amounts receivable 
or payable from the other entities within the tax consolidated group. 

3.10 Business combinations

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments 
or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the: 

•  fair values of the assets transferred 

•  liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business 

•  equity interests issued by the Group 

•  fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, and 

•  fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary. 

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, 
measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. The excess of 
the consideration transferred, amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and acquisition-date fair value of any 
previous equity interest in the acquired entity over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. 
If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised 
directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase. 

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present 
value as at the date of exchange. The post-tax discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a 
similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions. Contingent consideration 
is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value 
with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. 

The acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at 
the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss. If the initial accounting 
for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports 
provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional amounts are adjusted during the 
measurement period (see below), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect new information obtained about facts 
and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognised as of that date. 
The measurement period is the period from the date of acquisition to the date the Group obtains complete information about facts 
and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and is subject to a maximum of one year. 

3.11 Asset acquisitions

When the Group acquires a business, the Directors consider the treatment of the transaction under AASB 3 Business Combinations, 
including the amendment made to AASB 3 (AASB 2018-6: Business Combinations, Definitions of a Business, issued in December 
2018). This standard clarifies the definition of a business, and assists entities in determining whether a transaction should be 
accounted for as a business combination or as an asset acquisition.

In assessing the qualification as a business combination or asset acquisition, the Directors determine whether the acquisition meets 
the requirements of the ‘concentration test’ as prescribed by the accounting standards. When identifying net identifiable assets 
acquired, the Directors determine whether the acquisition relates to an asset acquisition – generally being intellectual property. 

This policy has been applied historically to the Atlab and TheraPharm acquisitions in note 3.12.c below. The intangible assets 
acquired in these purchases have been recognised at their respective fair values at acquisition date. No goodwill and deferred  
tax is recognised.

54

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDTelix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 20203.12 Intangible assets 

a. Goodwill 
Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortised, but it is tested for impairment 
annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired and is carried at cost less 
accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to 
the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those 
cash-generating units or group of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the 
goodwill arose. 

b. Patents, trademarks, licenses and customer contracts 
Separately acquired trademarks and licenses are shown at historical cost. Trademarks, licenses and customer contracts acquired 
in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. They have a finite useful life and are subsequently 
carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. The useful life of these intangibles assets is 20 years. 

c. Intellectual property 
Intellectual property has been realised on the acquisition of Therapeia GmbH & Co.KG (Therapeia) (2017), Atlab Pharma SAS (Atlab) 
(2018), Advanced Nuclear Medicine Ingredients SA (ANMI) (2018) and TheraPharm GmbH (TheraPharm) (2020). The intellectual 
property associated with the Therapeia, Atlab and TheraPharm acquisitions is recorded as an indefinite life asset as it is not yet 
ready for use. At the point the asset is ready for use, the useful life will be reassessed as a definite life asset and amortised over an 
appropriate period. All assets will be tested annually for impairment and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated impairment 
losses and/or accumulated amortisation. The intellectual property associated with ANMI is recorded with a useful life of seven years 
and will be amortised on a straight line over the period. An impairment trigger assessment will be performed annually.

d. Research and development 
Research expenditure on internal projects is recognised as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects 
(relating to the design and testing of new or improved products) are recognised as intangible assets when it is probable that the 
project will, after considering its commercial and technical feasibility, be completed and generate future economic benefits and its 
costs can be measured reliably. The expenditure that could be recognised comprises all directly attributable costs, including costs of 
materials, services, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of overheads. Other expenditures that do not meet these criteria are 
recognised as an expense as incurred. As the Group has not met the requirement under the standard to recognise costs in relation 
to development as intangible assets, these amounts have been expensed within the financial statements.

3.13 Impairment of assets 

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, 
or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment 
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is 
recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the 
higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped 
at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from 
other assets or Groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are 
reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.

3.14 Property, plant and equipment 

All property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure 
that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Cost may also include transfer from equity of any gains or losses on 
qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment. Subsequent costs are included in the 
asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits 
associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component 
accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss 
during the reporting period in which they are incurred. 

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost, net of the residual values, over the estimated useful 
lives. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.  
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than  
its estimated recoverable amount.

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 20203. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED

3.14 Property, plant and equipment CONTINUED

The useful lives of assets are as follows: 

•  Buildings: 18 years

•  Plant and equipment: 3-5 years 

•  Furniture, fittings and equipment: 3-5 years 

•  Leased plant and equipment: 3-5 years 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss. 
When revalued assets are sold, it is Group policy to transfer any amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to 
accumulated losses. 

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 received 

•  any initial direct costs, and 

•  restoration costs. 

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the group 
is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset’s useful life. 

3.15 Trade and other payables 

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of financial year which are unpaid. 
The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current 
liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and 
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

3.16 Borrowings 

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised 
cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over 
the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as 
transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is 
deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn 
down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates. 

Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, 
cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred 
to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit 
or loss as other income or finance costs. 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 
12 months after the reporting period. 

3.17 Inventory 

Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods 
Raw materials and stores, work in progress and finished goods are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises 
direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated 
on the basis of normal operating capacity. Cost includes the reclassification from equity of any gains or losses on qualifying cash flow 
hedges relating to purchases of raw material but excludes borrowing costs. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the 
basis of weighted average costs. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable 
value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs 
necessary to make the sale. 

56

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDTelix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 20203.18 Employee benefits 

Employee benefits are recognised as an expense, unless the cost qualifies to be capitalised as an asset. 

a. Short-term obligations 
Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and accumulating sick leave that are expected to 
be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognised in 
respect of employees’ services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when 
the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the statement of financial position. 

b. Other long-term employee benefit obligations 
The liabilities for long service leave and annual leave are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the 
period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore measured as the present value of expected future 
payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit 
credit 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 end of the reporting period of high-quality corporate 
bonds with terms and currencies that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Re-measurements as 
a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or loss. The obligations are 
presented as current liabilities in the statement of financial position if the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer 
settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to occur. 

c. Share-based payments 
Equity-settled share-based compensation benefits are provided to employees. Equity-settled transactions are awards of shares, 
options or performance rights over shares, that are provided to employees. The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured at 
fair value on grant date. Fair value is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise 
price, the term of the option, the impact of dilution, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, 
the expected dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option and volatility. No account is taken of any other 
vesting conditions. 

If the non-vesting condition is within the control of the consolidated entity or employee, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated 
as a cancellation. If the condition is not within the control of the consolidated entity or employee and is not satisfied during the 
vesting period, any remaining expense for the award is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited. 
If equity-settled awards are cancelled, it is treated as if it has vested on the date of cancellation, and any remaining expense is 
recognised immediately. If a new replacement award is substituted for the cancelled award, the cancelled and new award is treated 
as if they were a modification. 

d. Termination benefits 
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated by the Group before the normal retirement date, or when an 
employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The Group recognises termination benefits at the earlier 
of the following dates: 

(i)  when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and 

(ii) when the entity recognises costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of AASB 137 and involves the payment of termination 
benefits. In the case of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy, the termination benefits are measured based on the 
number of employees expected to accept the offer. Benefits falling due more than 12 months after the end of the reporting 
period are discounted to present value. 

3.19 Earnings per share 

a. Basic earnings per share 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing: the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing 
equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period, 
adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the period and excluding treasury shares. 

b. Diluted earnings per share 
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account: the 
after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and the weighted 
average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential 
ordinary shares. 

57

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 20203. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED

3.20 Goods and Services Tax (GST) 

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable 
from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. 

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which 
are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows. 

3.21 Revenue recognition and measurement

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Amounts disclosed as revenue are net of returns, 
trade allowances, rebates and amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Revenue is recognised using a five step approach in accordance with AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers to depict the 
transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be 
entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Distinct promises within the contract are identified as performance obligations. The transaction price of the contract is measured 
based on the amount of consideration the Group expects to be entitled to from the customer in exchange for goods or services. 
Factors such as requirements around variable consideration, significant financing components, noncash consideration, or amounts 
payable to customers also determine the transaction price. The transaction is then allocated to separate performance obligations in 
the contract based on relative standalone selling prices. Revenue is recognised when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied, 
which is when control of the promised good or service is transferred to the customer. 

Amounts received prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria are recorded as deferred revenue. Amounts expected to be 
recognised as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified within current liabilities. Amounts not 
expected to be recognised as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified within non-current 
liabilities.

a. Sales of goods – imaging kits
Sales are recognised at a point-in-time when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the 
customer. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have 
been transferred to the customer, parties have accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract and the acceptance 
provisions have lapsed. Revenue from these sales is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated 
volume discounts.

Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts, using the expected value method, and revenue is 
only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. No element of financing is deemed 
present as the sales are made with a credit term of 30 days, which is consistent with market practice. The Group’s obligation to 
replace faulty products under the standard warranty terms is recognised as a provision.

b. Licenses of intellectual property 
When licenses of intellectual property are distinct from other goods or services promised in the contract, the transaction price is 
allocated to the license as revenue upon transfer of control of the license to the customer. All other promised goods or services in the 
license agreement are evaluated to determine if they are distinct. If they are not distinct, they are combined with other promised goods 
or services. 

The transaction price allocated to the license performance obligation is recognised based on the nature of the license arrangement. 
The transaction price is recognised over time if the nature of the license is a “right to access” license. This is where the Group 
performs activities that significantly affect the intellectual property to which the customer has rights, the rights granted by the license 
directly expose the customer to any positive or negative effects of the Group’s activities, and those activities do not result in the 
transfer of a good or service to the customer as those activities occur. When licenses do not meet the criteria to be a right to access 
license, the license is a “right to use” license, and the transaction price is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains 
control over the license. 

C. Research and development services
Where research and development (R&D) services do not significantly modify or customise the license nor are the license and 
development services significantly interrelated or interdependent, the provision of R&D services is considered to be distinct. The 
transaction price is allocated to the R&D services based on a cost-plus margin approach. Revenue is recognised over time based 
on the costs incurred to date as a percentage of total forecast costs. Reforecasting of total costs is performed at the end of each 
reporting period to ensure that costs recognised represent the goods or services transferred.

58

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDTelix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 2020d. Financing component
The existence of a significant financing component in the contract is considered under the five-step method under AASB 15 Revenue 
from Contracts with Customers.

If the timing of payments agreed to by the parties to the contract (either explicitly or implicitly) provides the customer or the Group 
with a significant benefit of financing the transfer of goods or services to the customer, the promised amount of consideration will  
be adjusted for the effects of the time value of money when determining the transaction price.

e. Milestone revenue 
The five-step method under the standard is applied to measure and recognize milestone revenue. 

The receipt of milestone payments is often contingent on meeting certain clinical, regulatory or commercial targets, and is therefore 
considered variable consideration. The transaction price of the contingent milestone is estimated using the most likely amount 
method. Within the transaction price, some or all of the amount of the contingent milestone is included only to the extent that it 
is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty 
associated with the contingent milestone is subsequently resolved. Milestone payments that are not within the control of the 
Group, such as regulatory approvals, are not considered highly probable of being achieved until those approvals are received. Any 
changes in the transaction price are allocated to all performance obligations in the contract unless the variable consideration relates 
only to one or more, but not all, of the performance obligations. When consideration for milestones is a sale-based or usage-based 
royalty that arises from licenses of IP (such as cumulative net sales targets), revenue is recognised at the later of when (or as) the 
subsequent sale or usage occurs, or when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has 
been satisfied (or partially satisfied).

f. Sales-based or usage-based royalties 
Licenses of intellectual property can include royalties that are based on the customer’s usage of the intellectual property or sale of 
products that contain the intellectual property. The specific exception to the general requirements of variable consideration and 
the constraint on variable consideration for sales-based or usage-based royalties promised in a license of intellectual property is 
applied. The exception requires such revenue to be recognised at the later of when (or as) the subsequent sale or usage occurs and 
the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based or usage-based royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or 
partially satisfied).

3.22 Receivables 

a. Trade and other receivables 
Trade receivables and other receivables are all classified as financial assets held at amortised cost.

Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional, unless they contain significant financing 
components when they are recognised at fair value. 

b. Impairment of trade and other receivables
The collectability of trade and other receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Individual debts which are known to be uncollectible 
are written off when identified. The Group recognises an impairment provision based upon anticipated lifetime losses of trade 
receivables. The anticipated losses are determined with reference to historical loss experience and are regularly reviewed and updated. 
They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance. See note 25.4 for further 
information about the group’s accounting for trade receivables and description of the group’s impairment policies.

3.23 Leases

Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use 
by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss 
over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. 
The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

59

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 20203. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTINUED

3.24 Decommissioning liability

The Group has recognised a provision for its obligation to decommission its nuclear product manufacturing plant facility over  
its operating life.

At the end of a facility’s life, costs are incurred in safely removing certain assets involved in the production of radioactive isotopes. 
The Group recognises the full discounted cost of decommissioning as an asset and liability when the obligation to restore sites 
arises. The decommissioning asset is included within property, plant and equipment with the cost of the related installation.  
The liability is included within provisions. Revisions to the estimated costs of decommissioning which alter the level of the  
provisions required are also reflected in adjustments to the decommissioning asset. The amortisation of the asset is included  
in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income or loss and the unwinding of discount of the provision is included within 
finance costs. Further detail has been provided in note 21.

3.25 Fair value measurement 

Certain judgements and estimates are made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised and 
measured at fair value in the financial statements. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair 
value, the Group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. The different 
levels have been defined as follows: 

•  Level 1: fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the end of the reporting 

period. The quoted market price used for financial assets is the current bid price.

•  Level 2: fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques which 
maximize the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs 
required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. 

•  Level 3: if one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3. 

There were no transfers between level 1, 2 and 3 for recurring fair value measurements during the year. The Group’s policy is to 
recognise transfers into and transfers out of fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the reporting period. Certain judgements and 
estimates are made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognised and measured at fair value in the 
financial statements. 

3.26 Critical estimates, judgements and errors 

Accrued R&D expenditure
As part of the process of preparing our financial statements, the Group is required to estimate its accrued expenses. This process 
involves reviewing open contracts and purchase orders, communicating with program directors and managers to identify services 
that have already been performed for the Group, estimating the level of services performed with associated costs incurred for the 
service for which the Group has not yet been invoiced or otherwise notified of the actual cost. The majority of service providers 
invoice the Company monthly in arrears for services performed or when contractual milestones are met. The Group estimates 
accrued expenses as of each statement of financial position date in the financial statements based on facts and circumstances 
known at that time. The Group periodically confirms the accuracy of estimates with the service providers and make adjustments 
if necessary. Examples of estimated accrued expenses include fees paid to: 

•  Contract Research Organisations (CROs) in connection with clinical studies

•  investigative sites in connection with clinical studies 

•  vendors in connection with preclinical development activities, and 

•  vendors related to product manufacturing, process development and distribution of clinical supplies.

Recognition of R&D tax incentive income 
The Australian government allows a refundable research and development (R&D) tax incentive to eligible companies with an annual 
aggregate turnover of less than $20,000,000. Eligible companies can receive refundable amounts of their research and development 
expenditure. On 3 August 2018 Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited was granted certificates from the Department of Innovation, Industry 
and Science (“Innovation and Science Australia”) for an advance/overseas R&D tax finding providing approval for activities that are 
eligible for R&D tax incentive in relation to qualifying expenditure of up to $55,200,000. 

The research and development activities have been assessed by management and also by an independent subject matter expert to 
determine which areas are eligible under the R&D tax incentive scheme. This analysis includes an assessment of both the domestic 
and international spend. For the year ended 31 December 2020 the Group has recognised $12,318,000 (2019: $11,693,000) in the 
consolidated statement of comprehensive income or loss.

The Group has recognised $12,239,000 (2019: $11,326,000) of R&D tax incentive receivables which is classified as a current asset  
as it is expected to be received in the next 12 months. 

60

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDTelix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 2020Impairment assessment – carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets
Since its inception Telix has completed four acquisitions: Therapaeia (2017), Atlab (2018), ANMI (2018) and TheraPharm (2020).

The assessment of impairment of these has required estimates and judgements to be made. The inputs for these have been 
outlined in note 16.

Contingent consideration and decommissioning liabilities 
The Group has identified the contingent consideration and decommissioning liabilities as balances requiring estimates and 
significant judgements. These estimates and judgements have been outlined in notes 20 and 21 respectively.

Decommissioning liability assessment
Telix purchased the facility at Seneffe in Belgium on the 27th of April 2020. As part of this transaction, Telix assumed the obligation 
to remove these assets after the end of their useful lives and restore the site.

Currently the site has two cyclotrons installed in concrete shielded vaults which also contain some nuclear contamination associated with 
past manufacturing activities. The decommissioning provisions at 31 December 2020 represent the present value of decommissioning 
costs related to the Seneffe facility and removal of these cyclotrons under a staged approach. 

4. REVENUE

China Grand Pharma strategic partnership

In the period, the Group entered into a strategic commercial partnership with China Grand Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Holdings 
Limited (CGP) for the Group’s portfolio of MTR products. The Group has appointed CGP as its exclusive partner for the Greater China 
market and grants CGP exclusive development and commercialisation rights to the Group’s portfolio of prostate, renal and brain 
(glioblastoma) cancer imaging and therapeutic MTR products in the Territory.

A non-refundable upfront payment of USD $25,000,000 was received upon signing of the contract with CGP. The Group is further 
entitled to receive milestones payments based on regulatory and cumulative product sales milestones, as well as tiered royalties on 
product sales. The strategic partnership with CGP includes a license of existing intellectual property and the provision of development 
services. Under AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Group has identified two distinct performance obligations in 
the strategic partnership with CGP. The two performance obligations identified are the right of use license of intellectual property, and 
research and development (R&D) services. The license of intellectual property was considered distinct from the R&D services as it is 
capable of being granted separately and the R&D services do not significantly modify or customise the license nor are the license and 
R&D services significantly interrelated or interdependent.

The standalone selling price for each performance obligation is not directly observable. The Group has estimated the standalone 
selling price through the most appropriate method to ensure the estimate represents the price that could be charged for the goods or 
services if they were sold separately.

Significant judgement was applied in determining the standalone selling price and the variable consideration that was allocated to each 
performance obligation. Based on this analysis $1,402,000 in revenue was recognised for the right of use license of intellectual property 
as this performance obligation was considered completely satisfied at this date. In relation to the R&D services, the application of a cost 
plus margin approach was utilised as the primary method. For R&D services, the Group estimated the standalone selling price to be 
$31,283,000, recognised over time. $533,000 was recognised as revenue for the current period.

(i)  At 31 December 2020, the Group identified an opportunity to enhance the presentation of the fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration 
and associated unwinding of the discount rate recorded within finance costs in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income or loss. The 
Group considered that the change in contingent consideration is primarily due to changes in assumptions about the settlement of the contingent 
consideration and these line items in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income or loss should therefore be reported in aggregate, to 
provide more relevant information to the users of the financial statements. This change in presentation of $2,271,000, previously included as interest 
expense in the unwinding of discount on the contingent consideration liability, has been retrospectively applied to the year ended 31 December 2020.

Research and development activities have been assessed by the Group and by an independent subject matter expert to determine 
which areas are likely to be eligible under the R&D tax incentive scheme. This assessment includes a review of both domestic and 
international spend. For the year ended 31 December 2020 the Group has recognised a total current receivable of $12,239,000 
(2019: $11,326,000). The R&D tax incentive receivable has been determined based on a combination of eligible domestic and 
international expenditure of $28,317,000 (2019: $26,881,000) at a rate of 43.5 cents tax incentive rebate per eligible R&D dollar 
spent. The credit risk associated with this receivable is low.

15.3 Acquisition of facility at Seneffe

The Group purchased the facility at Seneffe in Belgium in April 2020. This facility was acquired from a German company Eckert & 
Ziegler Strahlen und Medizintechnik AG (EZAG) for the nominal amount of €1. In addition, the Group agreed to take on responsibility 
for the decommissioning liability for this site which was estimated at $8,497,000 (€5,183,000) based on a decommissioning plan 
prepared by the Company in close consultation with expert nuclear decommissioning advisory prior to completion of the acquisition. 
Based on timing of activities and costs included in the signed contract and the calculated net present value at a discount rate of 
8%, the liability has been estimated at $7,003,000 (€4,272,000). The Company has allocated the acquisition value across the site’s 
land and buildings ($2,463,000) and the isotype licence ($4,540,000) disclosed in notes 15.1 and 16. The allocation of value has 
been based on valuation reports from third party advisors and market rates. The building ($1,652,000) is depreciated on a straight-
line basis over the asset’s remaining useful life of 18 years. The land ($812,000) is not depreciated in accordance with the Group’s 
accounting policies. The licence $4,540,000 is amortised on a straight-line basis over the asset’s remaining useful life of 15 years.  
The Group’s estimate of the useful life is based on the useful life of similar assets.

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 202016. INTANGIBLE ASSETS 

16.1 Acquisition of TheraPharm

On 30 November 2020, Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited entered into the Joint Agreement with Scintec Diagnostics GmbH (“Scintec”) to 
acquire TheraPharm, a Swiss-German biotechnology company developing innovative diagnostic and therapeutic solutions in the field  
of hematology.

TheraPharm is developing antibody MTR technology against CD66, a cell surface target highly expressed by neutrophils (a type of 
granulocyte, a category of white blood cell) and tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes. As such, the technology has potentially very broad 
applications in the diagnosis and treatment of hematologic diseases (e.g. blood cancers), infection management and a variety of 
lymphoproliferative diseases.

The Directors considered the treatment of the TheraPharm acquisition under AASB 3 Business Combinations and accounting policy 
note 3.11. In assessing the qualification as a business combination or asset acquisition, the Directors determined that this represented 
an asset acquistion. When identifying net identifiable assets acquired, it was determined that the acquisition related to an asset 
acquisition – being intellectual property (therapeutic and diagnostic). As a result of this determination, no goodwill has been recognised 
on the acquisition. 

The Group acquired TheraPharm with an upfront payment of $16,653,000 comprising $15,006,000 in Telix ordinary shares, $322,000 
cash consideration and an earn out based on future milestones and future royalty payments with a net present value of $1,325,000.

The intellectual property associated with TheraPharm consists of two components. Intellectual property associated with diagnostic 
product 99mTc-besilesomab, Scintimun® will be amortised over it’s useful life of 12 years. The intellectual property associated with the 
therapeutic product (90Y-anti-CD66 molecularly targeted radiation) is recorded as an indefinite life asset as it is not yet ready for use. 
At the point that the asset is ready for use, the useful life will be reassessed as a definite life asset and amortised over an appropriate 
period.

As the therapeutic intellectual property has been determined to represent an indefinite useful life intangible asset, it will be tested  
for impairment at least annually.

The diagnostic product 99mTc-besilesomab, Scintimun® has already established its market in territories including Europe, Middle East, 
South Americas, and South East Asia, and Telix started amortising the intellectual property of this asset from acquisition date over its 
12 year useful life.

TheraPharm Therapeutic: Indefinite life intangible assets, being intellectual property, were acquired as part of the acquisition with 
TheraPharm and are required to be annually tested for impairment. At 31 December 2020, the Directors used a fair value less costs 
to sell approach to assess the carrying value of the associated intangible assets. No impairment was recognised by the Group. 

TheraPharm Diagnostic: Definite life intangible asset is required to be tested for impairment where triggers have been identified. 
At 31 December 2020 no impairment triggers were noted.

Impairment test for goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets
Since its inception Telix has completed four acquisitions Therapeia (2017), ANMI (2018), Atlab (2018) and ThermaPharm (2020). 

Illuccix (previously Illumet®): Goodwill and definite life intangible assets, being intellectual property, were acquired as part of the 
acquisition of ANMI. Goodwill is required to be annually tested for impairment whereas a definite life intangible asset is required to 
be tested for impairment where triggers have been identified. At 31 December 2020 the Directors used a fair value less costs to sell 
approach to assess the carrying value of the associated goodwill. No impairment was recognised by the Group. No impairment was 
recognised by the Group at 31 December 2020 as no impairment triggers were noted.

71

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 202016. INTANGIBLE ASSETS CONTINUED

TLX591-t: Indefinite life intangible assets, being intellectual property, were acquired as part of the asset purchase with Atlab and  
are required to be annually tested for impairment. At 31 December 2020, the Directors used a fair value less costs to sell approach 
to assess the carrying value of the associated intangible assets. No impairment was recognised by the Group.

TLX101: Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets, being intellectual property, were acquired as part of the acquisition of 
Therapeia and are required to be annually tested for impairment. At 31 December 2020, the Directors used a fair value less costs 
to sell approach to assess the carrying value of the associated goodwill and intangible assets. No impairment was recognised by the 
Group.

Seneffe manufacturing facility license: The Group acquired an isotope licence as part of the Seneffe manufacturing facility 
acquired in April 2020 (as disclosed in Note 15.3). The licence represents a definite useful life intangible asset which is required to 
be tested for impairment where triggers have been identified. The licence does not generate cash inflows that can be separately 
identified from other assets therefore the CGU for the licence is the Seneffe manufacturing facility as a whole. At 31 December 2020, 
there were no impairment triggers noted.

The Group has identified the estimate of the recoverable amount as a significant judgement for the year ended 31 December 
2020. In determining the recoverable amount of all CGU’s listed above, the Group has used discounted cash flow forecasts and the 
following key assumptions:

•  Risk adjusted post-tax discount rate – 12.3%

•  Regulatory/marketing authorisation approval dates

•  Expected sales volumes 

•  Net sales price per unit

•  Approval for marketing authorisation probability success factor

•  Costs of disposal were assumed to be immaterial at 31 December 2020.

The Group has considered reasonable possible changes in the key assumptions and has not identified any instances that could 
cause the carrying amounts of the intangible assets at 31 December 2020 to exceed their recoverable amounts.

Fair value: For all borrowings, the fair values are not materially different to their carrying amounts, since the interest payable 
on those borrowings is either close to current market rates or the borrowings are of a short-term nature. 

Capital risk management: Capital is defined as the combination of shareholders’ equity, reserves and net debt. The key objective 
of the Group when managing its capital is to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that the Group can continue to 
provide benefits for stakeholders and maintain an optimal capital and funding structure. The aim of the Group’s capital management 
framework is to maintain, monitor and secure access to future funding arrangements to finance the necessary research and 
development activities being performed by the Group. Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the 
basis of the following gearing ratio: Debt as divided by Equity. At 31 December 2020 the Group’s on-balance sheet gearing and 
leverage ratio was 0.5% for 2020 and 1.1% for 2019.

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 202020. CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION

20.1 TheraPharm

Telix acquired TheraPharm on 14 December 2020. Part of the consideration for the acquisition was in the form of future payments 
contingent on certain milestones. These are:

•  EUR 5m cash payment upon successful completion of a Phase III pivotal registration trial. 

•  EUR 5m cash payment upon achievement of marketing authorisation in the Europe or the United States, whichever approval 

comes first. 

•  5% of net sales for the first three years following marketing authorisation in the Europe or the United States, whichever approval 

comes first.

The valuation of the contingent consideration has been performed utilising a discounted cash flow model that uses certain 
unobservable assumptions. These key assumptions include risk adjusted post-tax discount rate (12.3%), market authorisation 
date, expected sales volume over the forecast period, net sales price per unit and approval for marketing authorisation probability 
success factor. 

The following table summarises the quantitative information about these assumptions, including the impact of sensitivities from 
reasonable possible changes where applicable:

The post-tax discount rate used in the valuation 
has been determined based on required rates of

development, size and risk adjustments)

A 0.5% increase in the post-tax discount rate would 
decrease the contingent consideration by 1.61%

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDTelix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 202020.2 Advanced Nuclear Medicine Ingredients SA (ANMI)

The Group acquired ANMI on 24 December 2018. The Group is liable for future variable payments which are calculated based on 
the percentage of net sales for five years following the achievement of market authorisation of the product. The percentage of net 
sales varies depending on the net sales achieved in the United States and the rest of the world. The Group also holds an option to 
buy-out the remaining future variable payments in the third year following the achievement of market authorisation, if specified sales 
thresholds are met.

As at balance date, the Group has remeasured the contingent consideration to its fair value. The remeasurement is as a result of 
changes to the key assumptions such as probability of success factors, risk adjusted post-tax discount rate, market authorisation 
date, expected sales volumes and net sales price per unit.

The Group has adopted a process to value the contingent consideration liability with the assistance of an independent valuation 
expert. The contingent consideration liability has been valued using a discounted cash flow model that utilises certain unobservable 
level 3 inputs. These key assumptions include risk adjusted post-tax discount rate (12.3%), market authorisation date, expected sales 
volume over the forecast period, net sales price per unit and approval for marketing authorisation probability success factor.

The Group has recognised a provision for its obligation to decommission its nuclear product manufacturing plant facility over 
its operating life. The provision is recognised to represent the best estimate of the expenditures required to settle the present 
obligation at 31 December 2020. Such cost estimates adjusted for inflation have been discounted to $6,796,000, using a discounted 
cash flow model, utilising a discount rate of 8.0%. While the Group has made its best estimate in establishing its decommissioning 
liability, because of potential changes in technology as well as safety and environmental requirements, plus the actual timescale to 
complete decommissioning, the ultimate provision requirements could vary from the Group’s current estimates. Any subsequent 
changes in estimate will be recognised directly through profit and loss. Each year, the provision is increased to reflect the unwind 
of discount and to accrue an estimate for the effects of inflation, with the charges being presented in the statement of total 
comprehensive income or loss. Actual payments for commencement of decommissioning activity are disclosed as payments made  
in the above table.

The Group assessed the decommissioning liability of $7,003,000 on the acquisition date of April 2020. The liability was discounted  
by 8.0%, which includes a commercial borrowing rate of 4.25% and Telix related risk premium of 3.75%.

Since the acquisition of the Seneffe site the Group has paid $447,000 towards the removal of cyclotrons from the site. The removal 
of the cyclotrons from the site is targeted for completion by 2024.

At 31 December 2020, the Group performed another fair value assessment of the remaining Seneffe decommissioning expenditure 
and revalued the liability at $6,796,000. The Group has recorded exchange differences of $118,000 and an increase in the 
decommissioning liability of $358,000.

22. GOVERNMENT GRANT LIABILITY

ANMI has received grants from the Walloon regional government in Belgium. These grants meet the definition of a financial liability 
as defined in AASB 9 Financial Instruments and are required to be recognised at fair value through profit and loss. 

The grants are repayable to the Walloon government based on a split between fixed and variable repayments. The fixed proportion 
is based on contractual cash flows agreed with the Walloon government. The variable cash flows are based on a fixed percentage of 
future sales and are capped at an agreed upon level.

The Group has estimated that the full variable repayments will be made up to the pre-agreed capped amount. The key inputs into 
this calculation are the risk adjusted post-tax discount rate (12.3%), the expected sales volumes and the net sales price per unit. 
These assumptions are consistent with those utilised by the Group in the calculation of the contingent consideration liability and 
intellectual property valuation.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDTelix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 202025. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The overall risk management 
program focuses on the unpredictability of markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance 
of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. 

25.1 Interest rate risk 

The majority of the Group’s borrowings have fixed interest rates, and therefore the Group is not exposed to any significant interest 
rate risk. 

25.2 Price risk 

The Group is not exposed to any significant price risk as contracts are in place to meet current estimated material requirements. 

25.3 Foreign currency risk 

Foreign currency risk is the risk of fluctuation in fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument as a result of changes in 
foreign exchange rates. The Group has certain clinical and regulatory activities conducted internationally. The main currency exposure 
to the Group is research and development activities which are occurring in Europe, the United States of America, Japan and Australia. 
As a result of these activities, the Group has foreign currency liabilities in Euro (EUR) and United States Dollars (USD). These foreign 
currency balances give to a currency risk, which is the risk of the exchange rate moving, in either direction, or the impact it may have 
on the Group’s financial performance. 

Telix has a policy of holding foreign currency reserves to cover a projected 12 month contract spend.

The major foreign currency exposure is in USD. This is as a result of cash funds held and both receivable and payable contracts 
entered into in this currency. The Group maintains foreign currency bank accounts denominated in USD in order to minimise foreign 
currency risk exposure. The Group had a deficit of foreign currency receivables over payables of $4,181,000 at 31 December 2020 
(2019: deficit of $5,141,000). 

The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates also relates to the Group’s net investments in foreign 
subsidiaries, which predominantly include denominations in EUR and USD, however given the level of current investments foreign 
subsidiaries, the impact of this is limited. 

The Group manages the currency risk by evaluating the trend of foreign currency rates to the Australian dollar and making decisions 
as to the levels to hold in each currency by assessing its future activities which will likely be incurred in those currencies. 

As at 31 December 2020, the Group held 2.9% (2019: 48.3%) of its cash in Australian dollars, 95.0% (2019: 48.1%) in United States 
dollars, 1.8% (2019: 2.9%) in EUR and 0.2% (2019: 0.7%) in Japanese Yen (JPY). 

The balances held at 31 December 2020 that give rise to currency risk exposure are presented in Australian dollars, together with 
a sensitivity analysis which assesses the impact that a change of +/- 10% in the exchange rate as of 31 December 2020 would have 
on the Group’s reported profit/(loss) after income tax and/or equity balance.

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. 
Given the absence of loan receivables, the Group’s exposure to credit risk is limited to trade receivables. The Group obtains guarantees 
where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. 

The Group applies the AASB 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance 
for all trade receivables. 

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the 
days past due. The expected loss rates are based on historical payment profiles of sales and the corresponding historical credit 
losses experienced. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and forward-looking information on macroeconomic 
factors affecting the ability of the customers to settle the receivables. As at the 31 December 2020, the expected credit losses are 
$NIL (2019: $NIL). The following tables sets out the ageing of trade receivables, according to their due date:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDTelix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 202025.5 Liquidity risk 

The Group is exposed to liquidity and funding risk from operations and from external borrowings, where the risk is that the Group may 
not be able to refinance debt obligations or meet other cash outflow obligations when required. Vigilant liquidity risk management 
requires the Group to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents). The Group manages liquidity risk by 
maintaining adequate cash reserves by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles 
of financial assets and liabilities. 

Remaining contractual maturities: The following tables detail the consolidated entity’s remaining contractual maturity for its financial 
instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest 
date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as 
remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 202026. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS 

The Group had no contingent liabilities or assets at 31 December 2020.

27. SHARE BASED PAYMENTS 

Equity Incentive Plan and Options 

The Equity Incentive Plan (EIP) was established to allow the Board of Telix to make Offers to Eligible Employees to acquire securities 
in the Company and to otherwise incentivise employees. “Eligible Employees” includes full time, part time or casual employees of 
a Group Company, a Non-Executive Director of a Group Company, a Contractor, or any other person who is declared by the Board 
to be eligible. 

The Board may, from time to time and in its absolute discretion, invite Eligible Employees to participate in a grant of Incentive Securities, 
which may comprise Rights, Options, and/or Restricted Shares. Vesting of Incentive Securities under the EIP is subject to any vesting 
or performance conditions determined by the Board and specified in the Offer document. Options are normally granted under the 
EIP for no consideration and carry no dividend or voting rights. When exercised, each Option is convertible into one Share. 

Non-Executive Directors are able to participate in the Equity Incentive Plan, under which equity may be issued subject to Shareholder 
approval. Options are however normally issued to Non-Executive Directors not as an ‘incentive’ under the EIP but as a means of 
cost-effective consideration for agreeing to join the Board. The details of Options on issue to individual Directors can be found in 
the Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 2020. For the purposes of this table and to illustrate the total number 
of Options on issue under the rules of the EIP, all Options issued to Non-Executive Directors, Executive Directors, employees and 
contractors are included. 

Share options contain a cashless exercise clause that allows employees to exercise options for an exercise price of $0.00 in 
exchange for forfeiting a portion of their vested options.

33. EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD 

On 27 January 2021, the Company agreed to issue 2,226,856 unlisted share options with an exercise price of $4.38 and an expiry 
date of 26 January 2026. The options were issued to staff and consultants to the Company. Of those options, 100,708 were agreed 
to be issued to MD & CEO C Behrenbruch subject to shareholder approval, which will be sought at the Company’s 2021 AGM.

On 16 February 2021, the Company announced the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic as the first European health authority  
to grant a temporary national authorisation allowing the use of TLX591-CDx (Kit for the preparation of 68Ga-PSMA-11).

On 22 February 2021, the Company announced that its subsidiary, Telix Pharmaceuticals Japan KK, in collaboration with Kanazawa 
University, has received Clinical Trial Notification (CTN) clearance by the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency 
(PMDA) to commence a Phase I trial of its prostate cancer imaging product TLX591-CDx in Japan. The purpose of the trial is to obtain 
preliminary clinical data in a suitable patient population, confirming that the targeting and pharmacology of TLX591-CDx is equivalent 
to non-Japanese patients. Such clinical data will support future planning discussions with the objective of regulator product  
approval in Japan.

Other than the matters referred to above, there were no subsequent events that required adjustment to or disclosure in the 
Directors’ Report or the Financial Report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT CONTINUED

Our audit approach 
An audit is designed to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from 
material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if 
individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of 
users taken on the basis of the financial report. 

We tailored the scope of our audit to provide an opinion on the financial report as a whole, taking into 
account the geographic and management structure of the Group, its accounting processes and controls 
and the industry in which it operates.   

Materiality 

Audit scope 

Key audit matters 

• 

For the purpose of our audit 
we used overall Group 
materiality of $2.0 million, 
which represents 
approximately 5% of the 
Group’s adjusted loss before 
tax. 

•  We applied this threshold, 

together with qualitative 
considerations, to determine 
the scope of our audit and the 
nature, timing and extent of 
our audit procedures and to 
evaluate the effect of 
misstatements on the financial 
report as a whole. 

•  Our audit focused on where 
the Group made subjective 
judgements; for example, 
significant accounting 
estimates involving 
assumptions and inherently 
uncertain future events. 
•  We performed an audit of the 

financial information of the 
parent company, Telix 
Pharmaceuticals Limited, 
given its financial significance 
to the Group. The parent 
company holds the largest 
share of the Group’s total 
assets and losses.  

•  We chose Group adjusted loss 

•  We also performed further 

before tax because, in our view, 
it is the benchmark against 
which the performance of the 
Group is most commonly 
measured. We adjusted for the 
fair value remeasurement of 
contingent consideration as it 
is a volatile item.   

•  We utilised a 5% threshold 
based on our professional 
judgement, noting it is within 
the range of commonly 
acceptable thresholds.  

audit procedures at a Group 
level, including over 
impairment assessments, 
acquisition accounting and 
consolidation of the Group’s 
reporting units. 
•  Where audit work was 

performed by an auditor 
operating under our 
instruction (component 
auditor), we determined the 
level of involvement we needed 
to have in their audit work to 

•  Amongst other relevant topics, 
we communicated the following 
key audit matters to the Audit 
and Risk Committee: 
−−  Impairment assessment for 
goodwill and intangible 
assets 

−−  Revenue recognition 

associated with the license of 
therapeutic products to China 
Grand Pharma 

−−  Research and development 

tax incentive 
−−  Valuation of 

decommissioning liability 

−−  Valuation of contingent 

consideration 

• 

These are further described in 
the Key audit matters section of 
our report.

be able to conclude whether 
sufficient and appropriate 
audit evidence had been 
obtained as a basis for our 
opinion. This included active 
dialogue throughout the year 
through phone calls, 
discussions and written 
instructions.  

•  Component auditors 

performed an audit of 
Advanced Nuclear Medicine 
Ingredients SA (ANMI) given 
the nature and risk profile of 
the entity and being the largest 
revenue contributor to the 
Group.  

•  We performed specific risk 

focused audit procedures on 
selected balances and 
transactions arising within 
Telix Pharmaceuticals (US) 
Inc, Telix Pharmaceuticals 
(Belgium) SPRL and Telix 
Pharma Japan KK. We also 
performed analytical 
procedures over the financial 
information of all other entities 
within the Group.  

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 for the current period. The key audit 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. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a 
particular audit procedure is made in that context.  

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Impairment assessment for goodwill and 
intangible assets 
(Refer to note 16) $59.2 million 

Our audit procedures over the Group’s impairment 
assessments of goodwill and intangible assets included, 
amongst others:  

The Group has recognised $4.2 million of goodwill and 
$55.0 million of other intangible assets as at 31 
December 2020. These assets are predominately 
divided amongst the illuccix ($23.1 million), TLX 591-t 
($13.4 million), TLX101 ($1.4 million), Seneffe 
manufacturing facility license ($4.3 million) and 
TheraPharm ($16.6 million) cash generating units 
(CGUs).  

- evaluating the existence of impairment indicators for 
definite lived intangible assets by considering both 
financial performance and product developments 
during the year 

- evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash 
flow models used to estimate recoverable amount (the 
impairment models) in light of the requirements of 
Australian Accounting Standards 

91

Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited | Annual Report 2020 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT CONTINUED

Key audit matter 

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

In accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, the 
Group is required to test goodwill and indefinite lived 
intangible assets for impairment annually and consider 
definite lived intangibles for impairment indicators.  

We considered the impairment assessment of goodwill 
and intangible assets to be a key audit matter due to:  

- the financial significance of the balances  

- the judgement exercised by the Group in calculating

Revenue recognition associated with the 
Licence of Therapeutic Products to China 
Grand Pharma 
(Refer to note 4) 

The Group has recognised $1.9 million of revenue 
during the year in relation to the Licence of Therapeutic 
Products to China Grand Pharma (CGP). A further 
$30.8 million of revenue has been deferred as a 
contract liability as at 31 December 2020.  

The Group identified two distinct performance 
obligations; a right to use license for the Therapeutic 
Products in the Greater China market (associated 
revenue recognised at a point in time) and the 
provision of research and development services 
(associated revenue recognised over time). As the 
standalone selling price of each performance obligation 
was not directly observable, the Group estimated the 
standalone selling price by using an expected cost plus 

- assessing the mathematical accuracy of key formulae 
in the impairment models 

- comparing key assumptions used within the 
impairment models to Board approved budgets and 
other evidence obtained throughout the course of the 
audit

performance of the CGUs to the Group’s prior year 
forecasts to assess budgeting accuracy  

- comparing the key inputs and assumptions 
underpinning the impairment models to available 
external market and industry data 

- comparing the discount rates used to our view of an 
acceptable range using independent external market 
data 

- assessing the Group’s sensitivity analysis over key 
assumptions in the impairment models in order to 
assess the potential impact of a range possible

- comparing the valuation of goodwill and intangible 
assets as per the Group’s impairment models to 
external data sources including broker report 
valuations 

- considering the reasonableness of associated 
disclosures in the financial report in light of the 
requirements of the Australian Accounting Standards. 

Our audit procedures included, amongst others: 

- considering the appropriateness of the significant 
judgements made by the Group in identifying the 
performance obligations in the contract against the 
requirements of Australian Accounting Standards 

- evaluating the appropriateness of the Group’s 
estimates used in determining the standalone selling 
price of each performance obligation and the method of 
allocation applied to measure revenue recognised over 
time  

- considering the reasonableness of associated 
disclosures in the financial report in light of the 
requirements of the Australian Accounting Standards.

a margin approach.  

This has been determined to be a key audit matter due 
to: 

- the financial significance of the revenue recognised in 
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income 
or loss and the contract liability in the consolidated 
statement of financial position 

- the degree of judgement exercised by the Group in 
interpreting the contractual terms and conditions and 
applying this to the requirements of Australian 
Accounting Standards 

- the degree of judgement exercised by the Group in 
determining the standalone selling price of each 
performance obligation and the method of allocation 
applied to measure revenue recognised over time. 

Research and development tax incentive 
(Refer to note 10) $12.3 million 

The Group assessed research and development (R&D) 
activities, related expenditure and qualifying criteria to 
determine its eligibility under an Australian 
Government tax incentive programme for a refundable 
tax offset. The R&D tax incentive income recognised in 
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income 
or loss was $12.3 million and the R&D tax incentive 
receivable as at 31 December 2020 was $12.3 million.  

The Group makes a number of judgements and 
estimates in determining the eligibility of claimable 
expenses, including the eligibility of employee costs. 
The Group was assisted by an expert to assist with the 
review of the eligibility of expenses underlying the 
Group’s claim and with the lodgement of the R&D 
refund application.

Valuation of decommissioning liability 
(Refer to note 21) $6.8 million 

The Group accounts for the decommissioning liability 
that arose as part of the Seneffe acquisition at fair value 
at each balance sheet date.  

The valuation of the liability was calculated at 
acquisition to represent the best estimate of the 
expenditure required to settle the obligation, 
discounted to its present value.  

The Group was assisted by an expert in determining the 
fair value at acquisition date.  

This is a key audit matter due to: 

-  The financial significance of the decommissioning 

liability 

- 

- 

complexities and judgement required by the 
Group to determine the fair value the liability

cash flow model used to calculate the fair value of 
the decommissioning liability. 

Valuation of contingent consideration 
(Refer to note 20) $25.1 million 

The Group values the contingent consideration that 
arose as part of the acquisition of ANMI and 
TheraPharm at each balance sheet date.  

The initial measurement of the contingent 
consideration was performed at the acquisition date. 
The Group have remeasured both liabilities to reflect 
post-acquisition changes in circumstances and 
assumptions in the valuation as at 31 December 2020.  

This is a key audit matter due to:  

- the financial significance of the contingent 
consideration liability  

- complexities and judgement required by the Group to 
determine the valuation of the liability including 
marketing authorisation dates, expected sales volumes, 
net sales prices per unit and approval for marketing 
authorisation probability of success factors (key inputs 
and assumptions) 

- the judgement exercised by the Group in calculating 
and applying a discount rate to the cash flow model 
used to calculate the valuation of the contingent 
consideration liability. 

Our audit procedures to assess the Group’s valuation of 
decommissioning liability as 31 December 2020 
included, amongst others:  

- evaluating the Group’s valuation methodology against 
the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards 

- assessing the mathematical accuracy of the valuation 
calculation 

- comparing the key inputs and assumptions 
underpinning the valuation to available external 
market and industry data 

- comparing the actual decommissioning expense 
incurred to 31 December 2020 to the Group’s initial 
estimate 

- comparing the discount rates used to our view of an 
acceptable range using independent external market 
data 

- considering the reasonableness of associated 
disclosures in the financial report in light of the 
requirements of the Australian Accounting Standards.

Other information 
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the 
information included in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020, 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 accordingly 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 on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of 
this auditor’s report, 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 have 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 the financial report. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the 
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at:
