CAP-XX Chairman, Pat Elliott and CEO, Lars Stegmann said:
"Our half-year results reflect resilience in the face of industry challenges in the passive electronic market, achieving +59% growth on product revenue versus H1FY23. Key strategic initiatives, including a new salesforce as well as new distributor integration and market-focused approaches, position us for sustained success. This is underlined by a 33% growth in our sales bookings. The book-to-bill ratio remains above one and our progressive pipeline remains strong.
"Excitingly, partnerships with Ionic Industries and international universities for graphene technologies are underway, enhancing our innovation roadmap.
"The legal costs and unexpected expenses in relation to the departure of the former CEO and investment in new product developments have result in our adjusted EBITDA remaining negative and the Company's cash position being tight. However, the Board is managing the Company's cashflows carefully."
