Trading Update

Quixant (AIM:QXT), a leading provider of innovative, highly engineered technology products principally for the global gaming and broadcast industries, provides the following update on trading for the current financial year, ending 31 December 2022.

The Board is pleased to report that, since the release of the Group's interim results on 6 September 2022, both Gaming and Densitron divisions have continued to perform strongly. As a result, the Group now expects to report full year results ahead of market expectations1 with revenues in excess of $115m and adjusted profit before tax of no less than $10m.

Jon Jayal, CEO of Quixant, commented:

"I am delighted to report a second upgrade in expected revenue and profit in the current financial year. This has been driven by ongoing buoyant customer demand, continued recovery in gross margins and ongoing management of supply risk.  The strategy we have in place across the Group is delivering, as we launch new products, diversify revenue, and become more closely integrated within our customers' value-chain.

Supported by robust order intake, we expect strong demand to continue and while there remain recessionary and supply side risks, we expect to deliver year on year growth in 2023."

1 The Board consider the current consensus analyst forecasts for the year ended 31 December 2022 prior to this announcement are revenue of $109.5m and adjusted profit before tax of $8.8m.
