The news: Medical equipment maker Nanosonics has flagged an improved performance for the first half of the financial year, sending its shares higher.
The numbers: Based on unaudited figures, the company expects first-half profit before tax of $10.9 million, up from $4.9 million a year ago.
Revenue for the six-month period is likely to be $93.6 million, up 18% from a year ago.
Nanosonics shares are up nearly 2% to $3.83 in early trading on the ASX.

What they said: “Nanosonics currently expects to achieve revenue, gross margin and operating expenses in FY25 around the top of each of the ranges for those measures specified in the FY25 outlook statement,” Kavanagh said.
