Sarine Technologies - Focus on cost savings and marketing efforts

As the midstream market continues to struggle, Sarine reported a net loss of US$1.4m in Q119 amid weaker scanning activity and lower margins on equipment sales. In this environment, the company is focusing on prudent cost management and further promotion of retail-oriented products (which remains a minor part of the business at just under 3% of Q119 group sales). Management has recently seen some initial signs of potential recovery in the number of scanned stones. The company retained a solid gross cash position of US$32.7m (vs US$28.9m at end-2018).
