Clinical Trials Contracted Revenue
Clinical Trials revenue recognised during the year is a function of:
1.
Revenue recognised from sales contracts on hand at the beginning of the financial year; and
2.
Revenue recognised from sales contracts executed during the year.
Cogstate enters into a contract with the customer for the provision of technology and services for each study. The
contract value will differ for each contract, depending upon the scope of the technology and services provided as
well as the complexity and length of the study. Revenue from clinical trials contracts is recognised over the life of the
contract. The length of a clinical trial can vary from 9 months for a phase 1 study up to 4-5 years for a phase 3 study.
Revenue is recognised based upon achievement of pre-determined milestones.
At 1 July 2022, Cogstate had $100.2 million of contracted clinical trials revenue that would be recognised in future
periods, up 72% on the amount of future revenue contracted at 1 July 2021. During the year to 30 June 2023, Cogstate
executed $34 million of new sales contracts, a 59% decrease from the prior year. After recognising $35.7 million of
revenue from those contracts during the year, Cogstate had, at 30 June 2023, $98 million of contracted clinical trials
revenue expected to be recognised in future periods. See table below for more analysis.

Healthcare Contracted Revenue
Eisai revenue is being recognised over the term of the contracts. The reduction in contracted revenue since 30 June
2023 is due to the revenue recognised on these contracts this year.
Group Contracted Future Revenue
Total contracted future revenue decreased by 5% to $132.6m as at 30 June 2023, compared to $139.1m at 30 June
2022.
