SMART WIRES TECHNOLOGY LTD, Q2 2022 INTERIM REPORT

Report this content

“Revenue in the second quarter of $8.2M was in-line with our previously communicated guidance that more than 70% of revenue will be in the second half of the year as supply chain disruption continued to impact production timing and associated deliveries.

After the end of the quarter, we updated the market on the company’s outlook for the rest of 2022. We lowered the revenue outlook to $55M to $60M compared to the previously stated $65M to $70M due to the impact of continued supply chain disruption on our production volume and technology deployment.

Cash at the end of the quarter was $30.2M. We are managing our cash profile through careful management of quarterly spending and driving improved payment terms with both vendors and suppliers, while continuing to explore strategic financing opportunities.

Market demand continues to gain pace, strengthening from quarter to quarter, and we’re well positioned to benefit from the long-term trends. Our order backlog has grown to $72M with additional orders expected in the back half of 2022, driving our expected orders intake to between $100M to $120M for 2022, with more than half coming from key customers in the UK, Australia and Colombia.”

Peter Wells

CEO of Smart Wires
