Increasingly more confident

Kromek is pioneering digital colour imaging for x- and gamma rays, using cadmium zinc telluride crystals. Key markets include medical imaging, homeland security and nuclear detection. Hot on the heels of winning up to $3.3m of home security contracts in late July with the US government, Kromek today said that it had secured two more significant orders. Both are within healthcare and together worth >$1m. The first for $700k with a new OEM to supply CZT detectors for nuclear medicine applications to be shipped over the next 18 months. Here the devices will generate sharper images in quicker timeframes and at lower radiation levels – thus enabling much improved patient outcomes. The second being a £340k repeat order from an existing BMD customer (Bone Mineral Densitometry) which will be delivered in FY19. We are encouraged by these developments – ie two major announcements in <1 month - and suspect it might be a reflection of management’s increasing confidence in meeting our estimates for this year and next. Better still, today’s news also reinforces the ongoing shift from CZT development work to selling commercial products, along with offering future upsell opportunities, bolstering the orderbook and enhancing revenue visibility (ED estimate for FY19 >2/3rds).
