Renalytix PLC - London-based diagnostics company - Reports revenue of USD1.6 million for the six months ended December 31, up 23% from USD1.3 million the previous year. Renalytix last month reported that revenue ramp-up in the first half was slower than expected, due to longer lead times and complexities in large healthcare system electronic medical record integrations. Underlying Ebitda loss narrows to USD6.4 million from USD7.2 million. Pretax loss narrows to USD8.1 million from USD8.6 million. Renalytix says it added 58 new practices sites added across New York, Texas, Florida and Arizona, and expanded to five fully integrated EHR systems for patient identification, ordering and reporting, from two in the previous first half. Says its progress in the first half positions it "for the next phase of scaled growth as integrations convert, utilisation builds and operating leverage improves."
