AFT Pharmaceuticals Chair David Flacks said: "As we look ahead, we remain optimistic despite the complexities of the global trading environment. Our geographic diversification, robust product pipeline, and solid market positioning provide us with a strong foundation to continue our growth trajectory.

"Our target revenue goal of $300 million for FY27 is ambitious but we believe it is achievable, supported by ongoing significant investments into market expansion."

AFT Pharmaceuticals Managing Director Hartley Atkinson said: "We have established a decades-long record of driving growth founded on our ability to identify and meet unmet clinical needs and through in-licensing products to meet that need and by developing innovative new medicines.

"Our R&D pipeline will play an essential role in extending this record. It opens the door to new markets, new applications, and improved outcomes for patients. We are confident that this pipeline, together with our established commercial platforms, positions us for sustained performance and long-term creation of shareholder value."
