Orion cash flows
Orion Health said it suffered a net cash outflow of $25.8 million in the three months ended December, taking its outflow for the nine months ended December to $39.4 million.
Orion's shares began trading in November last year after its $125 million float.
The company said receipts from customers are traditionally slower in the December quarter, but they were even lower than expected last year due to slower contract closures and billings in North America.
Orion said it expects this trend to continue in the current quarter.
Stellar year says NZX
The stock exchange operator, NZX, said 2014 was a stellar year with 19 new companies joining its boards after raising $4.7 billion.
Listed companies also raised $1.7 billion of debt through the market, a near eight-fold increase on the previous year.
NZX said trading volumes rose 9.8 percent in the year but the total value of trade fell 17.2 percent.
Funds under management rose 40.4 percent after the launch of two new exchange-traded funds, the Australian Property Trust and Australian Index Trust, as well as the purchase of SuperLife.
