- Q&M Dental (SGX:QC7)'s FY22 revenue met expectations but earnings were below. FY22 revenue and adjusted PATMI were 99%/90% of our forecast.
- The significant drop in COVID-19 related earnings and higher expenses in the development of AI-guided clinical support systems were the drag. Our adjusted PATMI excludes S$5.1mil of impairment of inventories (S$4.9mil) and plant and equipment (S$0.2mil) incurred in 4Q22.
