MyCelx Technologies (LON:MYX) saw its shares fall by over 17% on Monday following a significant revision to its revenue outlook for the year. The company now anticipates annual revenue to be between US$4.5 million (£3.5 million) and US$5.0 million, a substantial drop from the previously expected US$9.5 million.
This adjustment follows a delay in a key project for a customer in Nigeria. The delay impacts the installation of one of MyCelx's REGEN water filtration systems, meaning the expected revenue from this installation will now be pushed into 2025. Additionally, this setback has affected the factory testing for the system, which was originally scheduled for December of this year.
Despite this revenue reduction, MyCelx CEO Connie Mixon reassured stakeholders that the company’s cash position remains stable and will not be significantly affected by the delay. Mixon expressed confidence in the completion of the project, which marks the company’s fourth installation in Nigeria, and highlighted how MyCelx’s technology continues to enable producers in the region to improve water treatment and contribute to a cleaner environment.
The delay highlights some of the operational challenges MyCelx (LON:MYX) faces in international markets, particularly when projects are subject to external factors that can hinder timelines. However, the company's cutting-edge water filtration technology remains central to its strategy, focusing on solving environmental issues through innovative solutions.
Following the announcement, MyCelx shares dropped by 17.6%, closing at 40.4p on Monday. The market reaction reflects concerns over short-term revenue generation and the impact of the delayed project on the company’s financials, with earnings from the Nigerian installation now pushed into early 2025. The sharp decline in share price underscores the uncertainty surrounding project execution and revenue realization in the near term.
Moving forward, MyCelx (LON:MYX) will need to ensure smooth execution of future projects to prevent similar disruptions. As the company continues to expand its footprint in regions like Nigeria, it remains focused on providing innovative water treatment solutions that help clients meet environmental goals and regulatory standards. Despite the current setbacks, the long-term outlook for MyCelx’s technology-driven growth remains strong.
