Genomic life science company, EZZ Life Science (EZZ) has lifted its operating cashflows during the 2022 financial year, as it continues to reduce expenses.

Operating cashflow increased 7.5 times on the prior year to $1.9 million. This result came as EZZ sharpened its focus on cost control with advertising and marketing costs reducing by $4.88 million while its cost of sales fell by over $2 million.

Whilst revenue fell by 32.6 per cent to $15.02 million due to impacts of the pandemic, the company said it saw rapid revenue recovery in the second half of the year.

It attributed this rebound to the establishment of diversified distribution channels.

Although earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) decreased by 35.4 per cent from $2.7 million in FY21 to $1.7 million in FY22, the EBITDA margin remained largely in line with the previous year at 11 per cent.
