Trading update

In a reassuring and well-received trading update ahead of FY 2020 results set for July, Aortech have detailed their FY royalty and licensing revenues, cash balance and product developments. After many years in the making, the Elast-Eon tri-leaflet heart valve now appears to be ready for ‘prime time’.

We have made only very minor changes to our valuation and financials. Our valuation moves to £101.3m or 690p per share from £101.2m or 689p per share, largely as the result of the slightly higher cash balance. The major components of our valuation are the products in development and their valuation remains unchanged.
