ASX MARKET RELEASE
22 August 2024
VEEM has invested over $4.6m in capital and development expenditure during FY24 towards robotics for its Baile Rd facility, an automated guided vehicle and gyro engineering product improvement.
VEEM spent $4.5 million on formal research and development projects during FY24. VEEM will continue to commit to research and development projects as it sees necessary to remain at the forefront of the markets in which its products are sold and potentially enter new markets.
VEEM Managing Director Mark Miocevich said: “We are very pleased to be able to report a 70% increase in NPAT to $7.0 million for FY24. This comes on the back of a 35% increase in revenue to over $80 million which is a record for VEEM. These results were driven by the additional propeller capacity and a significant increase in work hours and productivity for which I would like to acknowledge our great staff and management – the VEEM team.
“Currently the outlook for FY25 is that the core business will continue to generate similar levels of activity with several areas of focus aimed at generating growth in revenue through new products, markets and regions as well as internally focused on improving margins.”
This ASX announcement was authorised for release by Mark Miocevich, Managing Director of VEEM Limited.
