Chief Executive Officer's commentary

Jason Drummond, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of MedPal AI, commented:

"May was our best month yet, with over 42,250 items dispensed, and we have now passed a quarter of a million prescriptions since we began. To reach this scale in such a short period is a powerful validation of our automated, technology-led model - which, as our interim results showed, is delivering pharmacy gross margins of over 34% as we grow. We have built this momentum from a standing start, and with significant capacity still available across our dispensing operations, the Board sees a clear runway for continued, profitable growth."
