OPERATING REVIEW
BTG has made good progress over the past year, progressing multiple activities to support sustained growth in our Interventional Medicine business and to maintain a resilient Pharmaceuticals business.
Interventional Medicine
Oncology
BTG's Interventional Oncology portfolio comprises differentiated products across multiple treatment modalities. Sustained growth is supported by investments in product innovation and in commercial, geographic and indication expansion. There was good progress in each of these during 2017/18.
Enrolment was completed into the STOP-HCC Phase III trial of TheraSphere(R) , the internal radiation treatment, in people with primary liver cancer. The EPOCH Phase III trial in people with metastatic colorectal cancer of the liver is now more than two-thirds enrolled. Both will deliver top-line data in the 2019 calendar year, and both are expected to support subsequent PMA applications in the US. Geographic expansion of TheraSphere(R) continued, with launches in Taiwan, Israel and Latin America. DC Bead LUMI(TM) , the radiopaque chemoembolising bead for treating liver cancer, was launched in the EU.
Since acquiring the cryoablation company Galil Medical in June 2016, BTG has invested in expanding its capabilities, footprint and capacity. Galil is now a centre of excellence in ablation and device engineering for BTG, with a pipeline of new products expected over the next two years. One is an MRI-compatible cryoablation system, which is the only system with this capability. It was launched and delivered to the first customer in early 2018. There is increasing interest in MRI-guided procedures, which provide better visualisation of the tumour and ablation zone, thereby allowing for more precise treatment. Other products under development include longer needles for patients with deep-seated tumours and a complementary system for tumour ablation comprising a new ablation modality.
Enrolment was completed in the MOTION and SOLSTICE studies using cryoablation for the treatment on bone and lung metastases respectively. Both are on track to report data in 2018.
BTG continued its collaboration with the Society of Interventional Oncology, providing funding for five additional studies exploring the role of interventional oncology alongside immuno-oncology.
Vascular
One-year follow-up data from the OPTALYSE PE study confirmed the benefits of EKOS(R) therapy for treating bilateral pulmonary embolism (PE). Patients experienced a sustained significant reduction in right-heart strain and improved quality of life, using shorter treatment durations and lower doses of thrombolytic than in standard treatment protocols. These data have supported the continued expansion of EKOS(R) in the US as a treatment for PE. BTG has initiated a separate registry study, KNOCOUT PE, to measure how hospitals are adopting and benefiting from this new standard of care. KNOCOUT PE is expected to include up to 100 centres internationally and will include cases from before and after the release of the original OPTALYSE PE study data.
EKOS(R) has continued to strengthen its ex-US business, with additional sales presence in Europe and an extended distribution network into other territories.
Following the acquisition of Roxwood Medical in October 2017 and its specialist crossing devices, BTG is now selling these products directly in the US.
Early-stage products
New category I CPT reimbursement codes were introduced for Varithena(R) in the US in January 2018. The switch from interim to dedicated codes has simplified the claims process and enabled BTG to scale back market access support, reducing the cost base of Varithena(R) . The new codes have stimulated renewed interest by physicians, including those in high-volume vein clinics. BTG is monitoring the impact of the new codes on physician ordering and reordering patterns and on insurer coverage and payment practice across the US, with a better understanding expected by the end of 2018.
Sales of the PneumRx(R) Coils have fallen, reflecting that market development including securing appropriate levels of reimbursement is taking longer than expected. BTG believes there is a potentially significant long-term opportunity for the coils in treating severe emphysema and is focusing resources on key activities to build long-term value. These include conducting the ELEVATE clinical study to support market development in the EU and progressing the Premarket Approval (PMA) application in the US. An Advisory Committee Panel meeting is expected during the summer with a decision expected by the end of 2018 from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the PMA application. Should the PMA be approved, market development and accessing reimbursement will also take time in the US. As a consequence of this and of prioritising European patients into the ELEVATE study, BTG does not expect material revenues from this product over the next two years.
Pharmaceuticals
BTG continues to build value in its antidote portfolio. During the year a study was published in the Annals of Emergency Medicine showing that treating people who have been bitten by copperhead snakes with CroFab(R) can aid the recovery of function in their affected limbs. Treatment with CroFab(R) was also associated with less opioid use throughout the patient's recovery.
Differentiating CroFab(R) is part of BTG's strategy to maintain market leadership. A different antivenin could enter the US market from October 2018. While there is likely to be some impact on CroFab(R) sales over time, BTG expects this product and the Pharmaceuticals business overall to continue to provide a strong financial underpin.
The Oncologist journal published new consensus guidelines for using Voraxaze(R) to treat patients with high-dose methotrexate-induced acute kidney injury and delayed methotrexate clearance. These provide clinicians with practical and specific guidance on when and how to treat patients with Voraxaze(R) to optimise the potential benefit.
BTG relinquished all distribution rights to Vistogard(R) following a court judgement against BTG in its commercial dispute with the product owner.
Licensing
Although Licensing is no longer a strategic priority, BTG expects to earn royalties for some years to come. Most relate to Johnson & Johnson's Zytiga(R) , for which generic competition is not expected in the US before October 2018 and in the EU before September 2021.
GROUP FINANCIAL REVIEW
BTG delivered a good underlying financial performance in 2017/18, and the Group has built a product sales business that is well positioned to deliver sustained profitable growth.
This review includes financial metrics on both an IFRS and adjusted basis. Information on the Group's adjusted financial information is set out on pages 20 to 22.

Interventional Medicine
Interventional Medicine revenues increased to GBP242.9m (2016/17: GBP216.2m), up 14% at CER. Interventional Medicine is the Group's largest and fastest growing business unit.
Interventional Oncology revenues grew 14% at CER to GBP156.2m (2016/17: GBP139.0m). This primarily reflects increased demand for TheraSphere(R) from existing and new customers in the US and EU, and continued growth in the number of cryoablation procedures.
Interventional Vascular revenues were GBP73.7m (2016/17: GBP64.0m), 18% higher at CER. Positive data from the OPTALYSE PE study supported continued growth in the use of the EKOS(R) device to treat pulmonary embolism, and the total number of US hospitals using EKOS(R) grew. Revenues included the first sales of the specialty catheters and crossing devices from Roxwood Medical, which was acquired in October 2017.
Among the earlier-stage products, sales of the PneumRx(R) Coil treatment for severe emphysema were GBP6.8m (2016/17: GBP9.1m), down 29% at CER due to a lower number of procedures in Germany, the largest market. Sales of the varicose veins treatment Varithena(R) increased to GBP6.2m (2016/17: GBP4.1m), reflecting steady progress and customers transitioning from interim reimbursement codes in the US to new category I CPT reimbursement codes in January 2018.
Pharmaceuticals
Pharmaceuticals revenues were GBP180.9m (2016/17: GBP171.1m), up 5% at CER.
Sales of CroFab(R) , the snakebite antivenin, were up 19% at CER, driven by volume growth and the benefit of single digit price increases. A different antivenin could enter the US market from October 2018. While this competition would likely result in some impact on CroFab(R) sales over time, BTG expects CroFab(R) and the Pharmaceuticals business overall to continue to provide a strong financial underpin.
Sales of the digoxin toxicity treatment DigiFab(R) were lower as expected, down 18% at CER, primarily reflecting the timing of hospital reorders relating to expired product batches.
Sales of Voraxaze(R) , used for treating high-dose methotrexate toxicity, were 22% higher at CER. Final sales from Vistogard(R) were GBP3.2m (2016/17: GBP3.2m) as BTG has relinquished all its former rights to this product.
Licensing
Licensing revenues increased by 9% at CER to GBP196.7m (2016/17: GBP183.2m).
Royalties from Zytiga(R) were GBP155.4m (2016/17: GBP123.2m), up 30% at CER, delivering very strong growth following the publication of new data that supported earlier use in patients with advanced prostate cancer. As previously outlined, no generic entrant to Zytiga(R) is expected in the US before October 2018, and no generic entrant to Zytiga(R) is expected in the EU before September 2021.
Royalties from Lemtrada(TM) declined to GBP21.8m (2016/17: GBP39.0m) due to the expiration of the US and EU patents in March and September 2017, respectively. These final royalties included GBP11.0m of back-royalties.
Gross profit
Adjusted gross profit was GBP435.0m (2016/17: GBP391.6m), at an adjusted gross margin of 70% (2016/17: 69%). IFRS gross profit was GBP434.6m (2016/17: GBP390.6m), at a gross margin of 70% (2016/17: 68%).
The Interventional Medicine gross margin of 71% (2016/17: 71%) continues to be supressed by the fixed manufacturing cost base for the early-stage products, Varithena(R) and PneumRx(R) . The Pharmaceuticals gross margin of 90% (2016/17: 90%) reflects the high efficiency of this business.
The Licensing gross margin improved to 51% (2016/17: 45%) as a result of increased revenues from higher-margin royalty streams in 2017/18 and the ongoing benefit of being able to offset expenses incurred by BTG against amounts owed to licensors.
SG&A
Adjusted SG&A grew 4% at CER to GBP185.7m (2016/17: GBP178.6m), reflecting increased commercial investments in Interventional Medicine that were partly offset by continued effective cost management across the Group. Adjusted SG&A was up 4% at actual exchange rates.
IFRS SG&A of GBP325.5m (2016/17: GBP206.6m) includes a provision of GBP57.7m in relation to the previously disclosed Vistogard(R) commercial dispute, and impairment charges relating to the ex-US intangible assets of PneumRx(R) and Vistogard(R) of GBP76.6m and GBP5.5m respectively. IFRS SG&A in 2016/17 included a charge of GBP28.0m in relation to the settlement of the investigation into the historical marketing of LC Bead(R) .
Research and development
Adjusted R&D expenditure was GBP95.3m (2016/17: GBP87.8m), up 10% at CER, reflecting increased investment primarily in Interventional Oncology programmes, including the STOP-HCC and EPOCH TheraSphere(R) trials, as well as support for a number of ablation development projects. At actual exchange rates, adjusted R&D was up 9%.
IFRS R&D expenditure was GBP165.5m (2016/17: GBP87.8m) and includes intangible asset impairment charges of GBP68.7m, principally in relation to the PneumRx(R) in-process research and development intangible asset.
Operating profit
Adjusted operating profit was GBP152.7m (2016/17: GBP129.6m), up 20% at CER, reflecting higher revenues offset by targeted commercial and R&D investments. Adjusted operating margin improved to 25% (2016/17: 23%).
On an IFRS basis, the Group reported an operating loss of GBP102.8m (2016/17: profit of GBP57.5m). The loss includes intangible asset impairment charges of GBP151.1m (principally charges of GBP143.2m relating to the impairment of PneumRx(R) intangible assets) and a charge of GBP57.7m in respect of the Vistogard(R) commercial dispute.
Financial income/expense
Adjusted net financial income was GBP7.3m (2016/17: net financial expense of GBP26.6m), principally reflecting gains of GBP8.8m on foreign exchange forward contracts in 2017/18 compared to losses of GBP25.2m in 2016/17.
IFRS net financial income was GBP32.2m (2016/17: net financial expense of GBP25.9m). In addition to foreign exchange forward contract gains, IFRS net financial income includes a net credit of GBP24.9m relating to the change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities (2016/17: net credit of GBP0.7m), principally a credit of GBP26.5m relating to the release of the PneumRx(R) Coil US regulatory approval milestone.
Taxation
The adjusted effective tax rate of 21% (2016/17: 14%) is higher than the standard rate of UK corporation tax as a significant portion of the Group's profit arises in the US where there is a higher US corporate tax rate. This is in part offset by the UK's patent box deduction on royalty income and the recognition of deferred tax assets for historical losses and timing differences.
On an IFRS basis there was a tax credit of GBP83.3m (2016/17: credit of GBP2.0m). The tax credit in part arises from the one-time impact of US tax reform, which resulted in a net credit of GBP36.2m being recorded in 2017/18, principally relating to the revaluation of net deferred tax liabilities to the lower US federal tax rate. The overall tax credit also includes the benefit of expected future tax relief for litigation provisions and deferred tax credits relating to the amortisation and impairment of acquired intangible assets.
Earnings per share
Adjusted basic EPS was 32.9p (2016/17: 23.1p), up 42% due to higher adjusted profit after tax, before non-controlling interests, of GBP125.7m (2016/17: GBP88.7m). Adjusted profit after tax was higher in 2017/18 due to growth in adjusted operating profit and foreign exchange forward contract gains in 2017/18 compared to losses in 2016/17, partly offset by a higher adjusted effective tax rate.
IFRS basic EPS was 3.9p (2016/17: 8.7p), down 55% due to lower profit after tax.

Net Assets 912.8 979.9
Non-current assets
Non-current assets decreased by GBP214.1m to GBP754.7m (31 March 2017: GBP968.8m), principally due to lower intangible assets. The carrying value of intangible assets decreased by GBP215.2m following the impairments of the PneumRx(R) , Vistogard(R) and Oncoverse intangible assets, together with the effect of amortisation and foreign exchange translation. These decreases were partially offset by intangible assets acquired with Roxwood Medical.
Current assets
Current assets increased to GBP408.0m (31 March 2017: GBP342.3m). Cash and cash equivalents were GBP54.5m higher at GBP210.0m (31 March 2017: GBP155.5m), reflecting continued strong cash generation.
Inventories increased to GBP61.0m (31 March 2017: GBP58.4m) and receivables increased to GBP134.0m (31 March 2017: GBP125.7m) as a result of underlying business growth, partially offset by foreign exchange retranslation.
Non-current liabilities
Non-current liabilities decreased to GBP59.8m (31 March 2017: GBP165.7m) principally due to a reduction in deferred tax liabilities as a result of the effects of US tax reform, foreign exchange retranslation, and impairments and amortisation of associated intangible assets.
Current liabilities
Current liabilities increased to GBP190.1m (31 March 2017: GBP165.5m). Trade and other payables decreased to GBP127.9m (31 March 2017: GBP152.0m) principally due to a reduction in the fair values of contingent consideration liabilities in relation to the PneumRx(R) acquisition. Derivative financial instrument liabilities decreased to GBP0.6m (31 March 2017: GBP7.9m) due to changes in the fair values of foreign exchange forward contracts in the period.
These decreases were more than offset by an increase in provisions, principally due to the recognition of a provision of GBP53.9m in respect of the Vistogard(R) commercial dispute, reflecting damages awarded and estimated pre-and post- judgement interest consistent with the Final Order and Judgement issued in November 2017. BTG has appealed the quantum of damages and the appeal is ongoing.

The business continues to be highly cash generative. Free cash flow was GBP109.3m (2016/17: GBP64.7m), up 69%, with growth benefiting from comparison with free cash flow in 2016/17 which included the settlement of the DOJ litigation. Excluding this settlement, free cash flow was up 18% in 2017/18 as very good growth in adjusted operating profit was converted into cash.
On an IFRS basis, cash flow from operating activities was up 63% to GBP120.7m (2016/17: GBP74.2m).
Cash and cash equivalents were GBP210.0m at 31 March 2018 (31 March 2017: GBP155.5m).
On 7 November 2017, the Group refinanced its multi-currency revolving credit facility (RCF) which was otherwise due to expire in November 2018. Following the refinancing, BTG has a GBP150m multi-currency RCF, with an option to increase the RCF by a further GBP150m. The RCF has a three-year term which expires in November 2020, although the Group has the option to extend the term of the RCF for up to an additional two years. The RCF currently remains undrawn.
Reporting in US Dollars (USD)
BTG will in future report its results in USD, starting with its Interim Results for the six months ending 30 September 2018. In June 2018 BTG will publish selected historical financial results restated to USD.
Summary and outlook for 2018/19
BTG has delivered a good financial performance this year, with very good growth in Interventional Medicine contributing to double-digit growth in product sales and adjusted operating profit, and strong cash generation.
BTG has the financial resources and capabilities to continue to make targeted investments in product innovation, clinical data, geographic expansion and acquisitions. This will enable the business to develop and sustain leading positions in attractive growth markets, creating significant long-term value for shareholders.
BTG's guidance for 2018/19 is as follows:

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
1. General information
In accordance with EU law (IAS Regulation EC 1606/2002), the final results have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") adopted for use in the EU as at 31 March 2018 ("adopted IFRS"), International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") interpretations and those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.
The final statements have been prepared in accordance with the Group's accounting policies approved by the Board. Details of principal business risks and uncertainties can be found in Note 9.
BTG's 2018 Annual Report will be posted to shareholders on 15 June 2018. The financial information set out herein does not constitute the Company's statutory accounts for the years ended 31 March 2018 or 2017 but is derived from those accounts. Statutory accounts for 2017 have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies, and those for 2018 will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies following the Company's Annual General Meeting, which will be held at 10.30am on 18 July 2018. The auditor has reported on those accounts; their reports were (i) unqualified (ii) did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying their report and (iii) did not contain a statement under section 498 (2) or (3) of the Companies Act 2006.
Accounting standards adopted in the year
No standards and interpretations issued by the EU adopted in the year had a significant impact on the Group.
Accounting standards issued but not yet effective
IFRS 15, 'Revenue from contracts with customers', was issued by the IASB in May 2014 and has been implemented by the Group from 1 April 2018. IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised, and also contains new requirements related to presentation and disclosures. The core principle in that framework is that revenue should be recognised dependent on the transfer of promised goods or services to the customer for an amount that reflects the consideration which should be received in exchange for those goods or services. The objective of the standard is to provide a five-step approach to revenue recognition that includes identifying contracts with customers, identifying performance obligations, determining transaction prices, allocating transaction prices to performance obligations, and recognising revenue when or as performance obligations are satisfied. The new standard replaces IAS 18 Revenues and related interpretations. The new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the amount or timing of recognition of reported revenue. In its financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2019, the Group will adopt IFRS 15 applying the retrospective approach, with a cumulative adjustment to decrease equity at 1 April 2018 which will be immaterial. As permitted by IFRS 15 prior year results will not be restated under the retrospective approach.
IFRS 9 'Financial instruments' was issued in its final form in July 2014 and has been implemented by the Group from 1 April 2018. The standard replaces the majority of IAS 39 and covers the classification, measurement and de-recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, introduces a new impairment model for financial assets based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The new standard is not expected to have a material impact on reported results. In its financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2019, the Group will adopt IFRS 9 retrospectively, but with certain permitted exceptions. Accordingly, prior year results will not be restated, but there will be an immaterial cumulative adjustment to equity at 1 April 2018.
IFRS 16 'Leases' is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 and will replace IAS 17 'Leases'. It will eliminate the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases and, instead, introduce a single lessee accounting model. The standard was endorsed by the EU on 31 October 2017. The adoption of IFRS 16 will result in the Group recognising lease liabilities, and corresponding 'right to use' assets, for agreements that are currently classified as operating leases. The Group is currently assessing the full impact of IFRS 16 on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
IFRIC 23 'Uncertainty over income tax treatments' was issued in June 2017 and will be implemented by the Group from 1 April 2019. The Interpretation clarifies that if it is considered probable that a tax authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the tax charge should be calculated on that basis. If it is not considered probable, the effect of the uncertainty should be estimated and reflected in the tax charge. In assessing the uncertainty, it is assumed that the tax authority will have full knowledge of all information related to the matter. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the new Interpretation on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
Going concern basis
After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the next 12 months. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Annual Report and Accounts.
This conclusion has been reached having considered the effect of liquidity risk on the Group's ability to operate effectively. Currently, liquidity risk is not considered a significant business risk to the Group given its level of net cash and cash equivalents, together with its cash flow projections. The Group does not currently require significant levels of debt financing to operate its business. The key liquidity risks faced by the Group are considered to be the failure of banks where funds are deposited and the failure of key licensees, distribution partners, wholesalers or insurers.
In addition to the liquidity risks considered above, the directors have also considered the following factors when reaching the conclusion to continue to adopt the going concern basis:
-- A significant proportion of the Group's sales are from products which are life-saving in nature, providing some protection against an uncertain economic outlook;
-- The Group's principal licensees are global industry leaders in their respective fields; and
-- On 7 November 2017, the Group refinanced its multi-currency revolving credit facility (RCF) which was otherwise due to expire in November 2018. Following the refinancing, BTG has a GBP150m multi-currency RCF, with an option to increase the RCF by a further GBP150m. The RCF has a three-year term, which expires in November 2020, although the Group has the option to extend the term of the RCF for up to an additional two years. The RCF currently remains undrawn.
2. Operating segments
Operating segments are determined based on the financial information provided to the Group's chief operating decision-making body, being the Leadership Team. The Group has three reportable segments, being Interventional Medicine, Pharmaceuticals and Licensing.
In assessing performance and making resource allocation decisions, the Leadership Team reviews contribution by segment. Contribution is defined as being gross profit less directly attributable selling, general and administrative ('SG&A') expenses. The Licensing operating segment includes SG&A relating to the Group's centrally managed support functions and corporate overheads. The Group's reportable segments reflects the management structure and stewardship of the business. No allocation of central overheads is made across the Pharmaceuticals or Interventional Medicine operating segments. Research and development continues to be managed on a global basis, with investment decisions being made by the Leadership Team as a whole. Research and development is not managed by reference to the Group's operating segments, though each programme within the pipeline would ultimately provide revenues for one of the operating segments if successful.
There are no inter-segment transactions that are required to be eliminated on consolidation.

In the year to 31 March 2018, the Group recognised a fair value credit of GBP26.5m (2016/17: GBP3.0m credit) related to the contingent consideration from the PneumRx acquisition and a fair value charge of GBP1.6m (2016/17: GBP2.3m charge) related to the contingent consideration from the Galil Medical acquisition.
Realised gains and gains on the remeasurement of the fair value of the Group's forward foreign exchange contracts totalled GBP14.5m for the year to 31 March 2018 and are recorded within Financial income. Realised losses and losses on the remeasurement of the fair value of the Group's forward foreign exchange contracts totalled GBP5.7m and are recorded within Financial expense.
The change in fair value and realised losses on the Group's forward foreign exchange contracts of GBP25.2m for the year to
31 March 2017 is recorded within Financial expense. The loss of GBP25.2m included realised losses of GBP17.1m on settlement of forward contracts and unrealised losses of GBP8.1m on remeasurement of the Group's outstanding forward contracts to their fair value.

6. Intangible assets
Impairment of PneumRx(R) Coils intangible assets
Impairment charges in the year were GBP151.1m, of which GBP143.2m relates to impairment of the PneumRx(R) Coils intangible assets. The PneumRx(R) Coils impairment charges are split between Developed technology (GBP76.6m) and IPR&D intangible assets (GBP66.6m), and have been recorded within SG&A and R&D expenses, respectively. Following these impairment charges, the carrying amount of the PneumRx(R) Coils intangible assets is GBP34.9m, of which GBP15.2m relates to Developed technology and GBP19.7m relates to IPR&D assets.
While management have concluded that there continues to be a significant long-term opportunity for the PneumRx(R) Coils, current sales are lower than originally anticipated, reflecting that market development, including securing appropriate levels of reimbursement, is taking longer than expected. Third-party market research and feedback from payers received in the second half of the year has corroborated that there is a need for more clinical data in order to expand reimbursement and support market adoption both in Europe and the US. As a result, resources have been focused on key activities to build long-term value. As a consequence of this, and of prioritising European patients for the ELEVATE study, we do not expect material revenues from this product over the next two years. Accordingly the recoverability of the PneumRx(R) Coils Developed technology and IPR&D assets was re-assessed in the year ended 31 March 2018.
The recoverable amount of the PneumRx(R) Coils intangible assets has been determined under a fair value less cost to sell approach, which utilises risk-adjusted discounted cash flows over a ten-year period and a terminal decline in growth thereafter. The key assumptions on which fair value less costs to sell has been determined, and the sensitivity of the valuation to changes in these key assumptions are as follows:
Key Assumption Utilised in Sensitivity Reduction Reduction
valuation factor in recoverable in recoverable
value of value of

================ ============= ================ ================ ================
(1) Penetration represents the percentage of total addressable patient population which management estimates will be treated by PneumRx(R) Coils.
In addition to the above assumptions:
-- the recoverable value of the IPR&D asset reflects the probability of approval by the FDA. If approval is not granted, the recoverable value of the IPR&D asset would likely be fully impaired, conversely if FDA approval is granted a reversal of some or all of the previously recorded impairment charge is likely.
-- the recoverable value of both the Developed technology and IPR&D assets reflects the probability of success of the ELEVATE trial. Depending on the outcome of the ELEVATE trial, the recoverable value of both assets may be increased or further reduced.
7. Business combinations
Acquisitions during the year ended 31 March 2018
Roxwood Medical, Inc. ('Roxwood Medical') acquisition
On 5 October 2017 BTG completed the acquisition of 100% of Roxwood Medical for an aggregate cash consideration of $64.9m, subject to customary closing adjustments, and contingent consideration of up to $15m which may be payable based on the achievement of specified sales based milestones.
The total consideration for the acquisition of Roxwood Medical was GBP44.7m ($58.9m), representing the upfront cash consideration paid after customary closing adjustments. The acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration payable was assessed as GBPnil.
Roxwood Medical's results of operations have been consolidated from 5 October 2017, and the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been determined as of that date. The final determination of these fair values will be completed as soon as possible but no later than one year from acquisition date.
Roxwood Medical is an innovative provider of advanced cardiovascular specialty catheters used in the treatment of patients with severe coronary and peripheral artery disease. The acquisition continues to build BTG's strength in the vascular space, further expanding BTG's portfolio of differentiated minimally invasive vascular technologies.
Intangible assets of GBP45.6m relate to Roxwood's Developed technology. An estimated useful life of 12 years has been assigned to this Developed technology, and associated amortisation expense will be recorded on a straight-line basis. Goodwill arising of GBP14.9m ($19.6m), which is not deductible for tax purposes, has been assigned to the Interventional Medicine operating segment. Goodwill represents the value of Roxwood's workforce which has not been reflected as separate intangible assets, together with the recognition for accounting purposes of a deferred tax liability of GBP17.3m ($22.9m) relating to the Developed technology.

During the period ended 31 March 2018, sales of Roxwood Medical products totalled GBP0.8m and an operating loss (including acquired intangible asset amortisation of GBP1.8m) of GBP3.8m has been recognised in the period since acquisition.
Oncoverse LLC ('Oncoverse') acquisition
On 20 April 2017, BTG acquired a 55% equity stake in Oncoverse, a US company, for cash consideration of GBP1.9m ($2.5m). Oncoverse is developing a digital health platform designed to allow cancer patients' care teams to collaborate and allow clinicians across all disciplines to work together to determine the most effective treatment plan for their patients. Oncoverse's results of operations have been consolidated from 20 April 2017, with that portion attributable to the 45% of Oncoverse equity not owned by BTG recorded within 'Non-controlling interests'.
The impact of Oncoverse's operations on the Group's income statement is immaterial. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed have also been determined as of 20 April 2017. As at 31 March 2018 the Group and the non-controlling interest have agreed to cease commercialisation of the Oncoverse technology and are assessing the future of the business. Accordingly an impairment charge of GBP2.1m has been recorded within 'Research and development expenses' within the income statement.
Consolidation of Vetex Medical Limited ('Vetex')
On 17 July 2017 BTG provided Vetex, a development-stage medical device company based in Ireland, with GBP2.0m ($2.7m) cash in exchange for a convertible loan note and a call option over 100% of Vetex's share capital. As a result of these transactions, it is deemed that BTG has the current ability (irrespective of intent) to exercise power over Vetex's primary value generating activities. Accordingly, the results of Vetex have been consolidated from 17 July 2017, with that portion attributable to the 100% of Vetex equity not owned by BTG recorded within 'Non-controlling interests'.
The impact of Vetex on the Group's income statement is immaterial. The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed have also been determined as of 17 July 2017. The final determination of these fair values will be completed as soon as possible but no later than one year from the date of acquisition.
8. Provisions
On 2 November 2017 a Final Order and Judgment was issued by the Court of Chancery of Delaware ruling against BTG in its litigation with Wellstat Therapeutics Corporation concerning the commercialisation of Vistogard(R) . The Court found that BTG has breached the distribution agreement and that Wellstat is entitled to damages plus interest and costs, and requiring that BTG return the US distribution rights for Vistogard(R) to Wellstat, which took place in February 2018 after a transition period.
In the year to 31 March 2018, BTG has recorded a provision for GBP57.7m expensed within SG&A, with the amount of this provision based on the damages awarded and pre- and post-Judgment interest calculated pursuant to the Final Order. At 31 March 2018, after foreign exchange translation, the amount provided in the Group's balance sheet was GBP53.9m. BTG has appealed the quantum of damages. While the appeal is ongoing, BTG has entered into a supersedeas bond which guarantees the payment of damages plus interest and costs as per the Final Order issued.
9. Principal risks and uncertainties
BTG's performance and prospects may be affected by risks and uncertainties relating to our business and operating environment. Our internal controls include a risk management process to identify key risks and, where possible, manage the risks through systems and processes and by implementing specific mitigation strategies. These include but are not limited to: market access, obtaining/ maintaining product regulatory approvals, IP/legal challenges, competition, healthcare law compliance, merger and acquisition activity and supply chain/continuity of supply.
10. Related parties
In relation to the related-party relationship concerning Giles Kerr, payments made by BTG to Oxford University and Oxford University Innovation Ltd under the relevant licence agreements were GBP18,000 for the year ended 31 March 2018 (GBP19,000 for the year ended 31 March 2017). There are no amounts still outstanding and payable by BTG under these agreements as at 31 March 2018 (2017: nil).
Information on adjusted financial information
The financial review includes financial information prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and the Group's accounting policies, as well as financial information presented on an adjusted basis.
Financial information on an adjusted basis excludes certain cash and non-cash items which management believe are not reflective of the underlying financial performance of the business and is consistent with how management reviews the business for the purpose of making operating decisions.
Metrics presented on an adjusted basis include Constant Exchange Rate (CER) growth, Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted R&D, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Net Financial Income / Expense, Adjusted Effective Tax Rate, Adjusted Basic EPS and Free Cash Flow. A reconciliation between IFRS and adjusted financial information is included on pages 20 to 22.
These metrics are further discussed below:
-- CER growth: CER growth is calculated by restating 2017/18 performance using 2016/17 exchange rates for the relevant period. CER growth allows management to focus on underlying performance without the impact of foreign exchange, which it cannot control.
-- Adjusted Operating Profit: Adjusted Operating Profit reflects the IFRS operating profit of the Group excluding the impact of certain adjustments, which have been separately outlined below. Adjusted Operating Profit allows management to assess operational performance without the impact of certain items which are not reflective of underlying financial performance.
-- Adjusted Basic EPS: Adjusted Basic EPS reflects Basic EPS excluding the after tax impact of certain adjustments, which have been outlined below. Adjusted Basic EPS allows management to assess EPS without the impact of certain items which are not reflective of underlying financial performance.
-- Free Cash Flow: Reflects the cash generated from operating activities after recurring capital expenditure, being a measure of cash flow available for discretionary investing or financing activities. The reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to Net Cash Flows from operating activities is shown on page 22.
Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted R&D, Adjusted Finance Income / Expense and Adjusted Effective Tax Rate are stated after excluding the effect of those items outlined below.
Management apply a consistent policy in determining its adjusted financial measures. In determining this policy, outlined below, management assess the nature and materiality of individual or groups of items, and have deemed it appropriate to adjust for those items including their tax effect, which (i) occur outside the normal course of business and (ii) relate to corporate acquisitions. These adjustments allow better comparability with historic performance and identify year-on-year trends in the underlying performance of the business.
Items excluded from adjusted financial measures in 2016/17, 2017/18 and from our outlook for 2018/19 are:
(a) Acquisition related adjustments
-- The release of the fair value uplift of acquired inventory or PP&E
-- Amortisation of acquired intangible assets and impairment charges relating to acquired or in-licensed intangible assets or goodwill
-- Fair value adjustments relating to contingent consideration liabilities -- Transaction costs incurred in relation to corporate acquisitions
(b) Other adjustments
-- Net costs relating to the settlement of litigation, disputes and government investigations
-- Reorganisation costs, including redundancy programmes, property costs, and asset impairments arising from significant restructuring
-- The impact of US tax reform on current and deferred tax
