Good progress establishing platform for growth

During FY16 Windar took some important strategic steps in rolling out its innovative LiDAR: implementing additional functionality to enlarge the addressable market and modifying its sales channels to focus on the IPP market. While y-o-y revenue growth of 26% was lower than management guidance, the results show substantial reductions in the cost-base and lower losses. Management note that recent order wins are likely to result in high double digit revenue growth during H117 and the company approaching EBITDA breakeven. We are withdrawing our estimates and valuation until the interims when there should be more clarity on test programmes converting to sales.
