AGM statement

The Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of Quixant (AIM:QXT), a leading provider of innovative, highly engineered technology products principally for the global gaming and broadcast industries, will be held today at 11:00am at the Group's offices at The Galleria, Station Road, Crawley, RH10 1WW.

At the AGM, Quixant Chair, Francis Small, will make the following statement on current trading:

"The strong demand for our specialist technology outsource solutions in both Gaming and Densitron divisions has continued through the first four months of the year and year-to-date order intake has been significantly ahead of the same period in 2021 across both businesses.

As previously communicated, we took the decision to invest in stock to best manage the well documented supply chain issues which continue to impact the global technology sector, with the recent lockdowns in China potentially contributing to these pressures.  However, given our strong relationships with suppliers, we continue to successfully manage the challenges and meet customer demand. Year to date revenues are well ahead of the same period in 2021 across both divisions despite what remains a challenging global supply chain environment.  

As we communicated in our 2021 full year results announcement, we are investing to manage future growth and mitigate supply chain issues, which in the near term requires utilising our strong cash position to invest in inventory.

The healthy trading year to date and order intake give us confidence that we will achieve full year market expectations for both revenue and profit.

We believe the business is in a strong position to deliver long-term sustainable growth through its portfolio of specialist outsource technology solutions."
