Proactive - Interviews for investors

SomnoMed lifts revenue 19% amid soaring demand

SomnoMed CO-CEOs Amrita Blickstead and Karen Borg talked with Proactive about the company’s performance and opportunities in the global sleep apnea treatment market. The company, which develops proprietary oral appliances for obstructive sleep apnea, is seeing significant demand as patients seek alternatives to traditional CPAP therapy. “About 60% of people fail to be able to use actual CPAP therapy because it’s quite invasive,” Borg explained. SomnoMed’s devices offer a less intrusive solution and are distributed through dental channels in 28 countries, with strong uptake in the United States and Western Europe. The co-CEOs discussed a major tailwind from the rising use of GLP-1 therapies for weight loss, which is pushing more patients to explore alternative sleep apnea treatments. Increased public awareness of sleep wellness through apps and consumer health trends is also fueling demand. To meet this growth, Blickstead said their immediate focus was on ensuring “the right foundation for profitable growth.” This included strengthening the company’s financial base, reducing costs, paying down debt, and investing heavily in manufacturing. Production capacity has increased by over 40%, with revenue up 19% year-on-year and EBITDA for the first half reaching AUD 5.80 million, compared to a AUD 1.10 million loss previously. Despite these gains, Blickstead noted they are still “chasing our tails and trying to make enough product to continue to grow this business.” #SomnoMed #SleepApnea #OralAppliance #HealthcareInnovation #CPAPAlternative #GLP1 #SleepTech #MedicalDevices #HealthInvesting #ProactiveInvestors

Genflow Biosciences CEO welcomes new investment; outlines dog longevity trial

Genflow Biosciences PLC CEO Dr Eric Leire talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about a pivotal new direction for the company as it initiates a clinical trial focused on improving aging in dogs. Leire described the trial as a natural evolution from Genflow's previous success in mice, noting the commercial appeal of the canine market. “There is nothing to improve really the quality of life of our aging dogs,” he said, adding that the study meets a significant unmet need. The trial will run for one year, with six months of treatment followed by six months of assessment. It's being managed by independent contract research organisation Syngene. Leire emphasised the scientific rigour of the trial, which is controlled, randomised and includes both aesthetic and biological endpoints. These include coat quality, mitochondrial function, and methylation clocks — all of which have potential crossover value for human applications. Leire also highlighted the company’s differentiated approach compared to US competitors using repurposed drugs like metformin. Genflow, he said, is pursuing gene therapy with the potential for greater impact. The investment supporting the trial, although limited in size, is seen as a strategic vote of confidence, bringing in credible investors from outside the UK, including the US. Leire described the initiative as a major step that could generate near-term revenue and redefine the company’s biotech positioning. For more company updates, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

Cordiant Digital Infrastructure Management chair on capital strategy & growth focus

Cordiant Digital Infrastructure Ltd (LSE:CORD) Chairman Steven Marshall talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s capital allocation strategy and growth outlook, particularly in the context of rising interest rates and macroeconomic pressures. Marshall highlighted how Cordiant Digital has strategically invested in cash-generative assets within two of Europe’s fastest-growing economies—Poland and the Czech Republic. “We can actually buy small bolt-on businesses, we can invest in organic growth, which actually is at a much lower cost than actually the buyback rates that we're getting,” Marshall said. The company has balanced yield and reinvestment, maintaining a dividend yield just under 5%, which is currently covered 1.8 times by free cash flow. Marshall explained the business has focused on acquiring quality mid-market assets with strong management teams and brand value. Looking ahead, Cordiant Digital aims to continue growing its portfolio through bolt-on acquisitions and organic investments, such as expanding distributed antenna broadband networks in Prague and Warsaw, and further developing data centre and mobile tower infrastructure in Poland. Marshall indicated the company is unlikely to pursue additional share buybacks in the short term, preferring to direct capital towards growth opportunities offering better long-term returns.

Light Science Technologies CEO on Injecta Fire Barrier solution to UK's unsafe cladding dilemma

Light Science Technologies Holdings PLC (AIM:LST) CEO Simon Deacon talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the significant opportunity surrounding the company’s Injecta Fire Barrier solution, particularly in light of ongoing fire safety issues in the UK’s residential building sector. Deacon highlighted that the UK still has more than 33,000 buildings between 11m and 18m in height, and over 11,000 high-risk buildings above 18m, that require urgent fire protection measures. He referenced a government estimate suggesting a potential £22 billion cost to address the cladding crisis, which has persisted since the Grenfell tragedy. The Injecta Fire Barrier, acquired in late 2023, offers what Deacon described as a "unique solution"—one that avoids facade removal by injecting fire-resistant material directly into cavities, providing over two hours of fire resistance. He said, "We're three times less in cost and much quicker to install than traditional methods." He noted the division secured £2.7 million in orders during 2024, performing strongly and receiving positive feedback for its efficiency and clean delivery. With an average order value over £500,000 and significant market scope, Deacon framed the opportunity as a scalable revenue driver for the group. The company is targeting £50 million in revenue over the next five years, with Injecta Fire Barrier expected to be a key growth driver. 👉 For more updates, visit Proactive’s YouTube channel.
