Oncimmune's strategic pivot aims for robust growth in 2024

Oncimmune Holdings PLC

Oncimmune Holdings PLC (AIM:ONC) CEO Martin Gouldstone joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with highlights of the company's 2023 performance, which included its strategic decision to focus on its ImmunoINSIGHTS platform. A significant development was the sale of its early lung cancer detection business to US biotech company Freenome, generating substantial funds. This capital was utilised partly to reduce existing company debt and, importantly, established a five-year master service agreement (MSA) with Freenome, guaranteeing Oncimmune a minimum of £1.3 million in service revenues on a use-it-or-lose-it basis, with a two-year break clause. This deal not only provided immediate financial benefit but also assured a steady revenue stream for at least two years. Gouldstone emphasized the company's focus on its ImmunoINSIGHTS service platform, highlighting its commercial and scientific potential. Since his tenure began in August last year, Gouldstone said he has been dedicated to maximizing the platform's commercial impact and scientific capabilities. The strategic redirection towards new commercial areas and customer segments was marked by the announcement of a new strategy in October, followed by securing seven contracts in novel commercial domains, including repeat business with large pharmaceutical companies and new engagements in biotech. These contracts span discovery and adverse event prediction in immuno-oncology, reflecting the strategic diversification efforts. With the commercial team nearing completion, Oncimmune anticipates a tangible impact on revenues towards the end of 2024, with an aim to further expand the sales team in the US by FY25. Looking ahead to 2024, Oncimmune has projected a revenue target of £3 million, marking at least a 150% increase from the previous year and setting a record high for the company's operations in Germany. This ambitious forecast underscores the company's strategic refocus, relaunch, and consolidation efforts aimed at sustaining growth and delivering improved financial performance in the coming years.

Empire Metals reveals "unprecedented" titanium discovery at Pitfield Project

Empire Metals Ltd

Empire Metals Ltd managing director Shaun Bunn discussed the preliminary results from mineralogical and metallurgical testing at the Pitfield project in an interview with Proactive's Stephen Gunnioin. Bunn said the findings highlight the project's potential, particularly its unique position in the titanium market. A significant discovery is the high concentration of titanite, a calcium titanium silicate, which constitutes about two-thirds of the titanium dioxide in the deposit. This is unusual as titanite typically makes up only a small fraction of a deposit's composition. Bunn said the presence of titanite simplifies the mining and processing phases due to its non-refractory nature, allowing for low-cost and efficient extraction and processing methods, including a simple leaching process to produce titanium dioxide. Moreover, current market dynamics could significantly enhance the economics, aiming to produce a product that could potentially fetch a much higher market price compared to conventional sources. Bunn outlined the next steps for development, including the recruitment of industry experts and plans for a demonstration plant in 2025.

Sky Quarry Is Paving The Way Toward A Potential Solution For The Multi-Billion Dollar Waste Asphalt Shingle Problem

Benzinga

By Jeremy Golden, Benzinga According to the EPA, an estimated 15 million tons of asphalt shingles find their way into landfills annually, the equivalent of over 22 million barrels of oil per year. A growing concern among environmentalists, roofing waste is considered one of the top four construction or demolition materials discarded in landfills. The high percentage is attributed to a lack of options for diversion or recovery. Founded to address this problem, Sky Quarry, Inc. is actively paving the way toward a potential solution for the ongoing multi-billion dollar waste asphalt shingle (WAS) problem. The company’s “ Waste-to-Energy Solutions ” convert toxic waste into sustainable products, recycling finite materials, reducing landfill waste and reducing harmful emissions in the process – while working to meet the growing demand for sustainable solutions across industries like construction, aviation and heavy transportation. When shingles are dumped, it can take the materials as long as 300 years to biodegrade, contaminating nearby groundwater and soil – particularly if the landfill is not properly managed or maintained. With millions of tons of installed asphalt-based roofing systems in need of replacement within the next 40 years, as well as an increasing shortage of landfill space, Sky Quarry believes waste diversion methods are increasingly becoming more necessary. Built To Last Sky Quarry believes that its closed-loop recycling process can solve this problem, by recovering both material and oil through the use of their proprietary extraction technology. This process promotes the reuse of material, including up to 95% of the asphalt bitumen, while reducing emissions and dependence on foreign oil. The process is water-free, eco-friendly and recycles up to 99% of the solvent it uses and recovers up to 99% of the hydrocarbons. In addition, fiberglass, limestone powder and aggregate granules can be recovered with Sky Quarry's recycling process, allowing the company to potentially reach multiple markets; namely the paving industry, shingle and carpet manufacturers, partially sustainable fuel and carbon fiber, among others. The asphalt paving market alone was already a multi-billion dollar market in 2021 and it is expected to register a CAGR of over 5% over 2022-2027. Sky Quarry’s business model aims to be just as sustainable as its technology. The company receives a “waste management fee” or so-called “tipping fee” from the waste haulers when they drop off the material for recycling, amounting to $40-$120 per ton. Virtually all revenue from the WAS-recovered oil goes directly to the company’s gross profit. In 2020, the company acquired PR Spring in Utah, which was built for oil sands extraction. The company intends to repurpose this facility and utilize its technology to extract bitumen from waste shingles, employing a similar process to the original extraction method. From this extraction, Sky Quarry will be able to create products like asphalt paving liquid and reclaimed heavy oil. This reclaimed material will be further refined at its foreland refinery in Nevada. In 2022, Sky Quarry purchased Foreland Refining Corporation in Nevada, which processes about 480,000 bbls of oil per year. With the expectation of refining blended sustainable oil — from PR Spring — by 2024, Sky Quarry intends to increase this to one million bbls of partially sustainable oil per year. Sky Quarry believes the Eagle Springs asset is undervalued in the market, with the company anticipating that a rebuild replacement value for the facility could exceed $70 million. Sky Quarry is in the process of establishing smaller facilities that will receive and process WAS material in preparation for its journey to its facility in Utah — before that, Sky Quarry will remove the sand and granules to be sold regionally to local industries. These facilities are expected to provide up to 400,000 to 500,000 tons of asphalt shingle feedstock to the company’s PR Spring extraction facility. The objective of these facilities is to bring in up to $5 million in revenue per facility as Sky Quarry looks to leverage the modular nature of the recycling outposts for business scalability and rapid deployment. The demand for sustainable fuels has never been higher. The Federal Administration is hoping to inspire a dramatic increase in the production of sustainable aviation fuels as the administration looks to achieve net-zero economy-wide emissions no later than 2050. Sky Quarry’s mission also aligns with President Biden’s Build Back Better Initiative, which includes target incentives to grow domestic supply chains in critical industries and communities on the frontlines of the energy transition. The framework boosts the decarbonization effort through grants, loans, tax credits and procurement to help drive capital investment. The ability to take advantage of these incentives is one of many reasons Sky Quarry is built to last. Sky Quarry believes it will be skilled at bridging nature and technology, delivering both environmental and societal benefits to many industries. This boundary-pushing company may be one to watch in the coming years.

How AI Could Revolutionize the $25 Billion Property Management Industry

MarketJar

As artificial intelligence (AI) quickly transforms entire sectors, one $25 billion industry is lagging behind. In a world where you can do almost everything with the tap of a button on your phone —order food, call an Uber, make dinner reservations, preheat your oven and even buy a car—the property management industry is stuck in the past and still relying heavily on paper-based transactions, cheque payments, manual amenity bookings, home walk-throughs with clipboard checklists and more. The lack of innovation is not only inefficient, it can be very costly. It also doesn’t fit in with shifting industry dynamics. More and more people are opting to rent instead of buy property and a record number of rental homes and communities are being built across the nation to meet rising demand., Clearly, the need for a streamlined approach that connects the industry from construction to leasing to property management is essential. AI can tap into data on properties, communities, tenants, and markets to tailor tools for property management-specific tasks, like screening tenants, maintenance calendars, collecting rent payments, managing common areas and writing listings. The implementation of AI can also lead to new ways for property managers and developers to make money. According to McKinsey Global Institute, AI could create $110 billion to $180 billion in value for the industry. It could also help companies gain 10% or more in net operating income through more efficient operating models, tenant retention, stronger customer experience, smarter asset selection, and new revenue streams. The problem is, it’s not just about plugging in a technology solution and expecting miracles. Property management companies are quickly learning that applying AI effectively requires a careful approach. It's about aligning the technology closely with business goals to truly unlock its value. As AI development progresses, more tools are being developed that cater to the property management market. That’s where Tribe Property Technologies (TSXV:TRBE) (OTCQB:TRPTF) comes into play. Unlike other companies that offer piecemeal solutions, Tribe Property Technologies offers a full suite of tech-elevated property management solutions that cover everything from pre-construction to post-occupancy. One of these innovative solutions is an AI-powered reporting tool that provides property managers with enhanced reporting and benchmarking capabilities. Tribe simply needs to enter a building’s address and its historical maintenance documents, and its AI will generate a comprehensive report on the building’s past and present issues, insurance information, repair and maintenance expenses, and other details that can empower the condo boards, strata councils and community managers to better understand the operational and financial health of their building. The managers can then optimize forward-looking planning and work to reduce their property’s operational costs. Tribe Makes it Easy to Build, Manage, and Live in Residential Communities Tribe Property Technologies (TSXV:TRBE) (OTCQB:TRPTF) is offering one of the most comprehensive and innovative solutions to an industry in desperate need of change.

This all-encompassing approach not only cuts customer acquisition costs and improves retention but also enables seamless integration of value-added products and services within the platform. By offering end-to-end solutions for all community living stakeholders, Tribe Property Technologies has established multiple revenue streams. With a focus on market penetration, Tribe has achieved rapid revenue growth and a leading market position, ranking #45 in Canada on the Deloitte Technology Fast 50™ after achieving 361% revenue growth between 2019 and 2022. Backed by an experienced, multi-disciplinary management team, Tribe has a proven aggressive M&A strategy, with plans to expand in the Canadian and US markets. In December, Tribe Property Technologies completed the acquisition of Meritus Group Management, a property management company specializing in tech-driven solutions for condominium and multi-family residential communities. The acquisition expands Tribe’s footprint in Ontario, adding over 5,000 additional homes under its management, and boosts its bottom line. Tribe now manages over 45,000 homes across Canada, with expansion plans into the United States. But that’s just one of the deals in the company’s robust pipeline. Tribe Property has completed 12 acquisitions to date to improve profitability, with efforts focused on workflow optimizations, back-end service consolidation and other cost reduction initiatives. The company plans to continue its M&A growth strategy, focusing on targets that expand its technology and introduce Tribe to new geographical markets. Tribe 's focus on profitability has led to a 34% year-over-year improvement in Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2023. The company remains dedicated to delivering value to its shareholders and is committed to achieving significant milestones that will solidify its financial stability and maximize shareholder value.

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga When it comes to neurological diseases, epilepsy is among the most common worldwide. At last check, about 50 million people suffer from this chronic non-communicable disease, with close to 80% living in low to middle-income countries. The risk of premature death among epilepsy patients is as much as three times higher than non-suffers. There are treatments for the seizures experienced by patients – 28 FDA-approved drugs at last count – but they don’t work for everyone. About one-third require surgery. It is those patients and others suffering from neurological disorders that Minnesota-based NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corp.(NASDAQ: NMTC) is targeting with its medical technology. The company designs and manufactures high-definition, minimally invasive thin film electrodes which are used for intracranial monitoring. The electrodes are implanted inside the skull to record brain activity. That data helps surgeons better locate and remove the brain tissue causing seizures without impacting the rest of the brain. NeuroOne’s electrodes are intended to diagnose and treat several neurological conditions including epilepsy, Parkinson’s Disease and Essential Tremors. The company believes it has an edge over the current electrodes in application because they are thin, flexible and less bulky. Better Than The Original? NeuroOne’s Evo Cortical Electrode portfolio consists of various configurations of strips and grid electrodes, which are made with thin polyimide film — which, in a study by the Mayo Clinic, demonstrated reduced inflammation to the brain versus traditional silicone electrodes as the material is flexible, thin and weighs less. The electrodes are cleared by the FDA for recording, stimulation and monitoring of brain activity for less than 30 days. With the technology, doctors can identify the right foci zones to determine the best treatment for patients. The company says its technology provides new options for surgical placement and potentially smaller incisions, lower inflammation compared to the bulky electrodes on the market, and also enables the pairing of diagnosis and therapeutics in one offering unlike other competitive technologies. With proven placement accuracy and enhanced signal quality, physicians can capture the vital data they need to support more confident diagnoses, according to NeuroOne. NeuroOne is among a handful of medical technology companies that are taking novel approaches to treating brain diseases. Aneuvas Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ATITK) is one example. It's developing new technology to fill and heal aneurysms. Hong Kong-listed MicroPort NeuroTech Ltd. is another example, working on technology to help doctors overcome potential issues during hemorrhagic strokes. Meanwhile ORSIM develops a specialist flexible bronchoscope simulator to help train and support anesthesiologists. NeuroOne pegs its market opportunity at $100 million for diagnostic use. Other markets the company is looking to enter including ablation, drug delivery and spinal cord stimulation for back pain are already generating revenue in the billions of dollars. Future Applications On The Horizon The company recently received clearance from the FDA to use an sEEG electrode to record electrical activity in the brain for less than 30 days but also to ablate brain tissue in an effort to reduce or eliminate a patient’s seizure activity using the same device. This will hopefully reduce the number of surgeries and hospitalizations a patient has to experience. This system has the potential to ablate nervous tissue in other areas of the body. NeuroOne has already commented that they will pursue additional applications, starting with facial pain. In addition, the company has commented that they are developing a drug delivery electrode that can monitor the electrical activity of the brain after delivery of the drug or gene therapy. This technology could also be helpful for pharmaceutical and biotech companies in helping identify in the early phases of development if the therapy shows efficacy. This could save the company millions of dollars in development and clinical study costs earlier in the development process. In addition, NeuroOne is also expanding its efforts into spinal cord stimulation for chronic back pain, last year announcing it successfully completed an animal implant of its novel thin film paddle leads for spinal cord stimulation. The devices are intended for the treatment of patients with chronic back pain due to multiple failed back surgery syndrome and intractable low back and leg pain. NeuroOne reports that results demonstrated the feasibility of the placement of a thin film paddle lead intended to treat chronic back pain due to multiple failed back surgeries. The company said more testing would be completed to optimize the design and placement. The company is also developing a percutaneous (through a needle) paddle lead placement system which would eliminate the need for an incision in the patient's back. The preliminary benchtop testing for this percutaneous approach has also been successfully completed. In January, NeuroOne presented a poster on pre-clinical experience with thin-film paddle leads at the North American Neuromodulation Society (NANS). Millions of people suffer from epilepsy, Parkinson’s Disease, Essential Tremors and other neurological disorders, yet the treatments today largely fall short. NeuroOne is committed to changing that with its minimally invasive approach. It hopes its innovations will not only transform the treatment of brain diseases but also enhance patient outcomes, reduce procedural invasiveness and streamline diagnostic and therapeutic processes for patients around the globe.
