The Company maintains a strong cash position at the end of Q4, with NZ$18.2M in the bank.

Currently, Volpara has no debt on its balance sheet.

Overall, the Company added over US$700k of ARR in Q4. Contracts continue to be signed across Volpara's full product suite as both platform deals and standalone sales, with no particular weighting towards one specific product. Dr Highnam said "Q4 was solid for sales, but we did have a number of deals move around due to the ever-increasing cyber security requirements. Fortunately, that is one area where we are particularly strong and will become a key differentiator for us in the longer term".

Total net new ARR added over the whole year was US$3.6M, approx. 38% higher than the prior year.

ARPU for the installed base increased from US$1.47 at the end of Q3FY22 to US$1.51 at the end of Q4, with an average ARPU for deals in Q4 of US$3.15 and a range of US$1.00 to US$7.50.

Other Recent Operational Highlights for the Quarter

Giotto distribution deal and initial contracts

Volpara has signed a distribution deal with IMS Giotto to sell Volpara® Scorecard™ software in Italy. Multiple orders are in place, with the possibility of up to 100 -leading Italian breast imaging sites part of the CONSIP x-ray equipment tender won by IMS Giotto.

Fuji distribution deal with Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi

In a collaboration with Fujifilm FZE (Middle East and Africa), Volpara has signed its first deal in the Middle East, with Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. A not-for-profit multi-speciality academic medical center, Cleveland Clinic was recently named the top hospital in the United Arab Emirates, and placed in the top 150 global hospitals, in the 2022 World's Best Hospital index compiled by Newsweek and Statista Inc. The hospital, a Mubadala Health partner, celebrated its 100th anniversary last year.

Biden's Cancer Moonshoot Relaunch

In February, Joe Biden reiterated the White House's determination to reduce cancer deaths by 50% in the next 25 years. Encouragingly, the associated documentation talked about breast density and about breast cancer risk assessment and the need for better IT to support the decision-making process; all helping build the tailwinds for Volpara's personalized screening tools.

EUSOBI announcement

The European Society of Breast Imaging released new breast screening recommendations based on the results of the DENSE trial, a 10-year research study that included Volpara®Density™ software. The EUSOBI now recommends that all European mammography providers offer breast MRI to women with extremely dense breasts. This recommendation is based on a microsimulation model of the DENSE trial results, which showed a significant reduction in interval cancers in women identified by VolparaDensity as having extremely dense breasts and then receiving breast MRI. The EUSOBI considered the mounting evidence of the risks associated with extremely dense breast tissue, notably the twice-greater likelihood of developing breast cancer and the significant reduction in mammographic sensitivity. The EUSOBI's additional recommendation to notify women of their breast density at the time of screening presents a significant opportunity for Volpara to expand its presence in the sizable European market, in which 17.9 million4 women are screened for breast cancer each year.

99th patent - breast arterial calcifications

Volpara was granted its 99th patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office for a new method for the detection and quantification of breast arterial calcifications (BACs)-inappropriate and pathological mineral depositions in the mammary arteries. This method builds on the Company's approach to quantitative and objective breast density scoring, creating a tissue composition map that includes calcifications and vessel from a mammogram and then generating a score that indicates the likelihood of disease in the breast or other organs. This patent signals the potential for Volpara's automated, artificial intelligence-based software tools to provide objective, clinical value beyond the breast cancer space, in this case enabling the triage of patients to cardiac care and interventions, subject to further development and completing a commercial software product deploying the new patented technique.

100th patent - quantification of images

Volpara was granted its 100th patent in March. The patent is for an improved automated method to quantify tissue in a medical image, based on comparison of energy to determine attenuation and thereby an estimate of tissue density.

The advantages are that a woman's breast composition and her risk of breast cancer can be calculated at an early age using low radiation dose. This improves the outcome for the patient and optimises clinical workflow.

4Signfiy Research

This 100th patent has been granted in China, the latest country in the international reach of the patent. China is currently the number 1 territory in the world for medical imaging patenting and the China National Intellectual Property Administration sets a very high standard for the grant of patents. All Volpara's Chinese applications have been granted so far, and with nine further applications in progress our protection in China represents a milestone for Volpara's patent portfolio.

Data - 60M raw breast x-ray images now in Volpara's Cloud

Volpara hit a milestone of over 60M raw breast x-ray images from over 5.5M unique women are now stored in the Cloud, this is one of the biggest datasets globally and when those images are matched up with de-identified patient data they could become the catalyst for a new wave of innovation to help save families from cancer. Dr Highnam talked extensively about this data set and the relevant of the raw data in a recent Aunt Minnie presentation on "AI in Breast Clinical Practice" that can be found at thislink.
