HAYD-Trading update for FY19 period ended 30th June 19
The companyâs income is expected to be in line with the marketâs expectations, although on the lower side in FY19. The company has carried out restructuring which eventually led to incurring higher costs. The company is taking a prudent approach which will be carried forward to the next year.
HAYD-Financial Highlights for H1 FY19
The Group revenues for the period were GBP 1.64 million, up by 20% as compared to the second half of the last financial year. Due to an increased headcount across the group, loss before taxation was GBP 3.47 million as compared to a loss of GBP 2.74 million a year earlier, while cash at the period end was GBP 0.96 million. Basic loss per share increased to GBP 0.13.
To manufacture new Silicon Carbide cutting tools to increase sales and improve gross margins, significant investment in production capabilities at the US site was made, which resulted in a 10% increase in revenue from the US. To reset the cost base and consolidate the position over the next six months, the group will continue to implement the management actions already started. The company is transitioning from research and development to commercial sales, which would help in delivering expected growth over the medium term without adding to the cost base. The company to create a stable platform to enable the group to achieve its plan to profitability, is seeking to leverage its significant investment made in its US business.
