Auckland-based soft tissue regeneration company Aroa Biosurgery Limited (Aroa) is set to list on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) as part of an initial public offering (IPO) that will see it raise $45m from investors.
The offer will comprise of A$30 million of primary capital through the issue of 40 million new shares at $0.75, with the remaining A$15 million to form part of a sell down by existing shareholders in the company. The IPO values Aroa at A$225 million upon listing, with the company expected to commence trading on 30 July 2020 under ASX code ARX.





Aroa is focused on improving the rate and quality of healing in complex wounds and soft tissue reconstruction. From more than 10 years of research and development Aroa has developed Endoform®, a proprietary soft tissue regeneration technology platform.
Endoform® is derived from ovine (sheep) forestomach and includes a basement membrane layer and propria-submucosa (supportive connective tissue). It acts as a scaffold to grow new tissue lost or damaged through disease or injury, allowing the patient’s own cells to grow into the matrix to build new tissue and re-establish blood supply. As the patient continues to heal this is replaced by their own tissue.
The company lists on the ASX having achieved product revenue of NZ$22.0 million in FY2020 (March year-end) and NZ$18.7 million in gross profit. The company was also EBITDA positive during this period¹.
Aroa has five commercial products approved for sale in the US based on the Endoform® technology which have been used in more than four million procedures targeting chronic wounds, hernia, soft tissue and breast reconstruction. This is in addition to a new product development pipeline, with all products engineered for the challenges of a specific use case.
Aroa’s products are typically 20%-60% less expensive than competing biological products, while offering superior regenerative performance, and in many cases are only at a small price premium over synthetic products.
Its success in market comes off the back of validation from peer reviewed publications as well as past and ongoing clinical studies. Aroa has regulatory clearance in more than 37 countries and a deep patent portfolio.
The total addressable market for its current products exceeds US$1.5 billion² in the US, with an additional pipeline of new products to be commercialised with an estimated more than US$1.0 billion².
The company plans to grow its sales within its principal market of the United States as well as in other markets such as Canada, Europe and select Asian countries where it has made early inroads. To date it has achieved sales with more than 600 hospitals in the US as well as being on contract with major group purchasing organisations and surgical distributors.
Funds from the IPO will be used to invest in sales and marketing, increase manufacturing capacity to meet anticipated demand and facilitate product development, cover operating costs and repayment of borrowings.
Aroa boasts 140 employees across its headquarters in Auckland and its USA-based Appulse office, a sales-focused joint venture.
“Since founding Aroa in 2008 we’ve developed the Endoform® platform technology to deliver clinically effective products and a strong pipeline which places the business in an ideal position for continued growth across the US and other global markets,” said Aroa Founder and CEO Brian Ward.
“We have a proprietary technology that is scalable and efficient, targeting significant addressable markets. I’m excited to share the growth in value of the business with both new and current investors as part of this IPO as well as with the committed board, management and staff behind the company.”
Bell Potter Securities and Wilsons are Joint Lead Managers to the IPO.

Thanks JT interesting stuff

[RupertBear]

Thanks JT I like the sound of this one ;)

[AceSee]

This just listed on the ASX. Will be interesting to see how it goes!

[silverblizzard888]

Listed today currently $1.37 up 82.7% on IPO price

[RupertBear]

Hoping to get some of these, didnt realise it had already listed, thanks for bringing it to my attention

[RupertBear]

Anyone bought into ARX? I took a small holding on Tuesday @ $1.38. Too soon to tell how it will go really ;)

[AceSee]

Nice @RupertBear! I had a limit order set last friday when it listed around the $1.20 mark. Mustve opened higher than that coz my order didn't go through haha. I see it's up around the $1.60 mark now.

[silverblizzard888]

Yeah I got some when the market opened the other day. When you compare them to Polynovo that has similar revenues and is valued at $1.5 billion, makes this company seem like a steal at $426 million value right now. I see them slowly inching towards the billion dollar mark sometime soon.

[Snow Leopard]

I have some :).

Ohhh goodie I am in good company and not alone Bear in the Woods! :)

Been following this one since they announced their listing details.
Bargain of the decade or century at current prices. Got a parcel on listing day and another today after watching the webinar.
Clever guy that CEO Brian Ward, will read investor presentation gains later to digest some of the stuff that went over my head.
Based on the potential. $bln market cap is very easy in the short term.
There is real lack of such quality stocks on the market right now and finally it’s a shame being a Kiwi company they chose to list just on ASX.

Yeah takes a bit of time to understand the science behind the products, but once you do its showing a great moat with great potential and these guys will continue to grow quite well going forward. Probably not quite on the radar for a lot of ASX investors, but once it gets more exposure it'll start to run. Indeed its a shame they had to go to the ASX, but currently the NZ market isn't well built that gives these type of companies the confidence that they can raise the capital they need.

I can understand why they chose to list solely on ASX as it has peer comparison there with likes of PNV and NZX have none.

[baaantom]

According to their 2020 annual report, under note 3 segment information, they state $13.5m of their 2020 revenue came from a single customer. Any idea who this may be? I see it isn't disclosed in their IPO prospectus either.

Good that they remove that $9m+ of other losses to get from the actual to a more palatable normalised number.
But it is a one off.

Still looks promising to me but not betting the wine cellar on it.

Does it mean : Companies will also issue stock in escrow, imposing limitations on when the shares can be sold, as part of an employee's compensation plan?

Or the institution shares will be flooding to the market?

I saw more buyers than sellers but the SP is sluggish. Ask myself to be patient :).

Its still early days so no long term trading pattern to go by. Given its current down trend I am inclined to think this will go down further. So I am not keen to average down at this stage But i may if it levels off. Just my opinion though

Was thinking it might dip below or go close to $1 and its top time. However, didn't go that way and now its close my breakeven point, hence no plans to buy more. I'm picking the new funds that are on board might push this past 1.50 or 1.60 in the medium term as its very cheap compared to its peers like PNV.

a few points from the video : https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_LTBBrswiTvCVyqHsYavJtQ
1. The own sale team really makes difference.
2. HealthTrust is picky on a few products instead of wide range of product. It is a bit unusual that Myriad is chosen out side the cycle.
3. Myriad Matrix is good quality product and cost-effective, especially.

Hope that the Aroa will keep the momentum going after post covid-19 vaccination and the number of the surgery being recovered.

[percy]

Quite a large drop from the SSP with news due this week. Just being hammered with the general market or is there more to it?

The share price weakened after the 25th November half year report.
Looks as though there were too higher expectations built into their share price at over $1.50.
I do not know whether the current 84 cents is good buying or not ,as cash outflow from operating activities were $5.8mil for H1 .FY 22.which seemed to me to be high compared to their $17.2 mil revenue.

[The diver]

I could understand the consistent downward trend with too high expectations could account for the decrease to $1 but a ~12% drop on Monday with no news seems drastic. I see from the financial report that Net cash outflow of $5.8m included a one of interest expense of 1.5M for their debt which was paid off with the capital raising. So ongoing should be less. Increased staffing though probably going to be a big ongoing cash outflow increase.

Their revenue guidance for FY22 is based on an assumed exchange rate of 0.72 NZD/USD. It has been consistently lower than this since the announcement so I wonder if this could have an impact at all on the final announcement.

FY23 Outlook


Product revenue guidance of NZ$51-55 million, to deliver 30-40% growth on FY22.

Product gross margins are expected to improve to 77% due to increased sales of higher margin Myriad™ products and improving manufacturing efficiencies (despite increased indirect overheads from the new manufacturing facility).

AROA is continuing to invest in its US salesforce and product development to drive growth in FY23 and beyond. As a result, it is forecasting an EBITDA loss for FY23.
Given the dynamic and evolving impact of COVID-19, guidance is subject to no material decline in US medical procedure numbers or sustained disruption to AROA’s manufacturing or transportation activities and TELA Bio, Inc. delivering on its revenue guidance of US$40-45 million in CY22.[2] (https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#m_8124027090918699757__ftn1) It also assumes an average NZD/USD exchange rate of 0.70.

NZD/USD exchange rate of 0.70, the assuming is wrong, should be lower, I think.

Been on quiet a good run up since early Jul, from a low of $0.65 to today and $1.02.

Last few days have been particularly positive.

Long may the run up continue, finally back over a $1, not sure why its going up but I will take it :) still a wee way to go for me to break even :(

Combination of one or two funds may be in acquisition mode and the pesky sellers all but finished I guess. Got some big holding here and almost back to break even.
Could be some nice clear blue sky days ahead from hereon. Still much cheaper compared to the other outfit PNV, which is trading at much higher multiple.

I sold all mine end of Dec 2021 for about $1.02 when downtrend underway so probably time to take another look now it’s gone full circle. make something on these on the second try lol
