We are pleased to release the full year's results from Dermatonics which show positive increases across all key metrics - revenues, margins and EBITDA - in FY24 compared to FY23. This reflects the anticipated upwards momentum of the Dermatonics business, and a strong base from which to build. We look forward to updating shareholders on the ongoing process of integration and the additional operational and sales benefits."
