Preliminary results for the year ended 31 December 2016 Notice of AGM
Jeremy Haigh, Chief Executive of Proteome Sciences, commented: “While we are satisfied with solid progress during 2016, there is clearly much yet to do if we want to realise the full commercial value of our proteomic technologies. The Company is in a transition phase as we seek to expand our customer base to secure larger and more durable contracts for our services. The recent decision to consolidate our laboratory facilities in Frankfurt was difficult given our UK heritage but we firmly believe it to be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders. We look forward to healthy progress during 2017, to the imminent arrival of our new Chief Commercial Officer, and to providing further updates through the course of the year.”
Trading Update and Notice of Results
After a strong first half, progress continued throughout the rest of the year with results in line with expectations. Buoyed by robust sales of our TMT® reagents and the associated royalties, unaudited revenues during the full year increased by 46%.
