艾伯塔省埃德蒙頓--(Newsfile Corp.,2024年4月17日)——專門從事移動液體測量解決方案的科技公司泰坦洛吉克斯公司(TSXV:TLA)(“泰坦” 或 “公司”)公佈了截至2024年2月29日的三個月和六個月期間的中期業績。
泰坦首席執行官尼克·福布斯表示:“我們看到原油和二手油市場對我們產品的需求穩定,我們的銷售和營銷工作重點放在通過現有機隊營業額和新開發的新機隊賬戶獲得市場份額上。”“我們也很高興燃料市場獲得更多關注,在接下來的幾個季度中,我們將繼續專注於我們的多元化戰略。
“第二季度的業績反映了油輪原始設備製造商的穩定產量,反映了第一財季的活動。我們預計,第三季度對泰坦 TD100 系列產品在原油和二手石油領域的需求將達到類似水平。由於我們的關鍵業務發展舉措,我們在精煉燃料和化學品細分市場還有幾個新的商機。
“泰坦一直專注於與精煉燃料市場的主要參與者的業務發展活動。試點試驗將在今年第三和第四季度進行幾次試點試驗,預計將持續3-5個月,爲1-5輛卡車配備泰坦 TD100 系統和泰坦的機架控制模塊(RCM)。
“從長遠來看,我們的產品開發計劃側重於下一代產品,該產品將具有成本效益,並且設計用於多種最終用途應用。作爲我們技術現代化戰略的一部分,我們正在對T-Connect進行試點試驗,這是泰坦首款可在iOS和安卓設備上運行的移動應用程序。T-Connect 是一款軟件工具,它將推動 TD100 系統在新的和現有的細分市場中的採用。我們目前有8個機隊客戶在試用T-Connect,我們預計將在2024財年的第三和第四季度擴大這一數字。T-Connect強調了泰坦致力於成爲油罐車先進技術的市場領導者的承諾。
“我們的投資策略是投入必要的資源以滲透新的移動液體細分市場,併爲這些細分市場開發增值產品和軟件解決方案。該公司將其非營業外現金儲備投資於保守的計息賬戶和有價證券。如果收購機會可以補充我們的增長戰略或使我們的互聯戰略獲利,則會考慮收購機會。”
2024 財年第二季度亮點
與2023財年第二季度的1,521,908美元相比,2024財年第二季度的收入增長了15%,達到1,750,979美元。在過去的六個月中,該公司的收入增長了8%,達到3,264,837美元,而2023財年六個月的收入爲3,025,028美元。由於油輪OEM仍處於峯值產能,該公司繼續看到對其核心產品線的需求增加。

該公司在本季度因支持公司多元化和向新市場增長的活動而產生的產品研發費用(1)爲247,463美元,而2023財年同期的支出爲34,698美元。在截至的六個月期間,產品研發費用(1)從同期的48,704美元增加到513,121美元。在2023財年,該公司公佈了一項戰略增長計劃,重點是更新其核心產品線和實現業務多元化。
