Additional components of loss after income tax also include movements in other items which did not impact current cash reserves, such as income tax benefits, fair value remeasurement of contingent consideration, remeasurement of borrowing arrangements and foreign exchange movements within other operating income and expenses.
In the nine months of FY2019, the net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders was 14.02 cents per share for the nine months of FY2019, compared with a loss per share of 3.12 cents for the nine months of FY2018. There was
an after tax loss of US$69.1 million compared to $14.5 million for the nine months of FY2018. The increase in the loss is primarily due to commercial manufacturing investment of US$9.5 million to support potential launch for aGVHD product, and an increase of US$7.5 million in finance costs. In the comparative period of FY2018, the Company recognized a one-off non-cash income tax benefit of US$23.0 million due to a revaluation of tax liabilities given changes in tax rates and a non-cash US$7.9 million gain on remeasurement of contingent consideration for reduction of future payments to third parties.
