EP&T Global (ASX:EPX)

EP&T Global is a software stock which helps building owners and operators achieve savings from both cost and carbon footprint perspectives.

At the end of FY21 the company’s ARR was $5.3 million but it is expecting this to be 85% higher – at $9.8 million – by the end of FY22.

The company reported a strong quarter with its EDGE Intelligence Systems being installed in 25 buildings.

Healius (ASX:HLS)

It’s a good time to be in pathology.

In the past quarter Healius processed over 40,000 COVID-19 tests a day and it made $689.9 million in revenue as well as $201.9 million in underlying earnings.

Both are substantially higher than the $480.2 million in revenue and $77.9 million in earnings it made in FY20.

While the company’s day hospitals and imaging revenues were affected by lockdowns and restrictions on elective procedures, the company reported things were improving as restrictions were easing.

Memphasys (ASX:MEM)

For medtechs yet to commercialise quarterlies are typically just a recap of the quarter that has been.

But for the sperm sorting device maker, the quarter was a positive one.

It finally put a long running legal battle behind it over its Felix device. It reached a settlement with its engineering and design partner over an engineering flaw that contributed to a substantial delay in sales.

Also, it expects a prototype device for use in horses to be field tested in the coming horse breeding season.
