John Cronin, CyanConnode's Executive Chairman, commented:

"The financial year ending on 31 March 2023, marked another exceptional period for CyanConnode in terms of revenue and order bookings, continuing the fourth consecutive year of growth. The positive momentum observed during the second half of the year, particularly in the final quarter, has carried over into the new financial year, predominantly in the Indian market. I am pleased to report that our revenue for Q1 FY24 already surpasses H1 FY23, as we continue to fulfil our order book.

While the Indian market remains our largest and most promising market, CyanConnode's global growth is ongoing, with significant interest across all markets. We anticipate providing further updates in our forthcoming complete set of results, which will be released in due course."
