Revenue Growth Amid Challenges
AVITA Medical posted a 30% rise in commercial revenue for the fourth quarter, reaching US$18.4 million. This contributed to full-year commercial revenue of US$64 million, marking a 29% increase compared to the previous fiscal year.

However, these positive figures were overshadowed by a net loss of US$61.8 million, significantly higher than the US$35.4 million loss in FY 2023.
