BluGlass (BLG): Initiation - Brighter future, lower temperature

BluGlass has pivoted its innovative compound semiconductor manufacturing technology onto the development of high performance laser diodes which it intends to start shipping at scale over the coming year. This will be a key step to achieving management's goal of capturing 8% of the laser diode market by calendar year 2026, potentially generating almost A$75m revenues annually.

 

While management has not provided formal guidance, it aims to secure 6-10% of the global laser diode market by 2026, which it estimates will then total US$658m (A$849m). This represents annual revenues of around A$60-90m. It is dependent on BluGlass successfully completing the development of the next generation of higher performance laser diodes using its RPCVD technology. Based on our assumed gross margins ranging from 35% to 45%, our scenario analysis calculates this level of revenues would generate EBITDA of A$14.1-21.6m.

BluGlass - Fund-raising and acquisition

BluGlass has raised A$3.4m through a placement at A$0.03/share to purchase a laser diode fabrication facility (fab) in California’s Silicon Valley. It intends to raise up to A$7.5m through an entitlement offer to existing shareholders, also at A$0.03/share, which closes on 12 April 2022 using the proceeds to convert the fab to GaN laser diode production. The transaction is in line with management’s stated aim of bringing third-party processes in-house, but BluGlass is proceeding with this much s...

BluGlass - Further progress towards commercialisation

During H122, BluGlass focused on laser diode development, primarily on improving the reliability of its first-generation product. Recent performance data from prototypes demonstrated commercial light-output results and was very positively received by potential customers. BluGlass remains on track to launch its first laser diodes by mid-calendar 2022.

BluGlass - Progress working through reliability issues

BluGlass’s Q122 activity was focused on laser diode product development, primarily working through reliability issues affecting its first-generation product with multiple fabrication specialists. The company also successfully demonstrated the world’s first working tunnel junction laser diodes manufactured using its proprietary RPCVD technology. Management expects that the A$6.1m (net) raised in July should provide a cash runway through to initial customer revenues from laser diode sales.
