Paul McGlone, CEO of Seeing Machines commented:
"I'm delighted to provide this additional transparency of quarterly progress across the company. Our technology is well entrenched as market leading and that is evidenced by the momentum we see in our dealings and importantly, the numbers. It is tremendous to see cars on road, fitted with our technology, increasing with a significant year on year hike and 25% increase over the final quarter of fiscal FY22, as more of our ongoing programs progress into production.
"In Aftermarket, our hardware sales have grown more modestly due to previously reported supply constraints but as previously announced, now that we have resolved these issues, we anticipate stronger growth towards the end of the year as a significant hardware delivery is received before the end of calendar 2022. This stock is expected to meet the growing demand for Guardian, in its current generation, this financial year. The rate of connections has also been slower than hoped as our customers deal with timing of supply and effects of the pandemic, which are still impacting the transport and logistics sectors, but we have seen encouraging signs of a return to a more normalised growth rate so far in the current fiscal year."
KPIs should not be considered superior to, or a substitute for, operating results prepared in accordance with accounting standards. For clarity, the above KPI's have been defined below.
Cars on road counts all light vehicles in production fitted with Seeing Machines automotive grade Driver Monitoring System (DMS) technology.
Guardian monitored connections is a global count of all vehicles fitted with Guardian and actively monitored.
