Cell Impact reports fourth quarter results: Solid year-end results 2022
Cell Impact AB (Nasdaq First North GM: CI) reports the following summary for the fourth quarter.
The higher production activity trend Cell Impact saw at the end of the third quarter also continued into the fourth quarter. During the quarter, we received a number of small, but important, orders for test tools that we expect will become full-scale tooling projects and prototype series during 2023.
In industrial terms, Cell Impact continued to develop through further enhancing production equipment and strong growth in flow plate production. Even if new orders for important tooling projects did not meet expectations due to customer-related delays, our overall order intake was strong. Sales for the full year were consequently slightly lower than our sales targets.
"Cell Impact's strategy is to grow and develop alongside customers in the fuel cell and electrolyzer industry and to build the company in parallel. Our updated business plan takes into account the major political initiatives in the EU and the US, that among other things lead to a certain need for localization. There is greater demand for manufacturing flow plates nationally, near or at a customer's location, and that this could potentially include collaborations with local partners", said Pär Teike, CEO of Cell Impact.
Due to this development, Cell Impact has set a new sales target for 2027, when sales shall exceed SEK 600 million.
