What I find most exciting is that there is an ever increasing sales pipeline, with new products that have recently been added to the portfolio, that haven't impacted these historical results. These being the Lithium Ion Hybrid supercapacitors, the TruckStart units and the Power modules. Then there is the 3Volt products which are coming on line in a few months:
"The first 3 Volt products from Seven Hills are expected to ship to customers by the end of this calendar year. The development of the 3 Volt product has been targeted to meet demand for small, inexpensive, energy efficient power solutions for thin wearables, key FOBs and other IoT devices, especially those using 3 Volt coin cell lithium ion batteries, such as the CR2032 battery."
And then there are the cylindrical supercapacitors:
"In the past, CAP-XX has faced competition in various markets from cheaper cylindrical supercapacitors where our thin form factor, high power and long life are not valued as highly as lower initial cost components from competitors. To counteract this, the Company released a range of cylindrical cells. Modest sales revenue for these products was first recorded during FY 2019. Since then, sales have continued to grow strongly, with the Company being successful in winning significant large volume orders. Several new large volume opportunities are currently being evaluated by customers."
And not forgetting the DMF, DMT and DMH products:
"The Board remains of the view that the installation of the additional production facilities at the Seven Hills facility is transformational for the Company's sales and profitability. The capacity of the Seven Hills plant is around 4.8 million DMF or DMT products per year and more than 2.4 million DMH products per year. Operations at Seven Hills have continued to improve in yield, costs and output as expected. Production costs are currently more than 50% lower than the prismatic parts which the Company manufactures in Malaysia. These production costs are expected to decrease further as further improvements are commissioned. At Seven Hills, the Company is well advanced in obtaining the German automotive quality accreditation VDA6.3 which the Board considers necessary for expanding sales in automotive applications."
