Zenova annual loss widens as cost of sales up; eyes growth in new year

Fri, 07th Jun 2024 12:05

(Alliance News) - Zenova Group PLC on Friday reported a widened annual loss, but remained optimistic looking ahead to the new financial year.

Shares in the fire safety product manufacturer were down 4.5% to 1.50 pence each in London on Friday around midday.

In the financial year that ended November 30, revenue climbed to GBP278,000 from GBP175,000 a year earlier.

However, pretax loss widened slightly to GBP2.1 million from GBP2.0 million.

Zenova's cost of sales increased to GBP216,000 from GBP67,000.

Looking ahead, Chief Executive Thomas Melchior said: "We anticipate that the next twelve months will be focussed on sales order book growth and order execution with a close focus on working capital management.

"Zenova is already seeing a significant increase in qualified sales leads and quotations and expects conversion to orders will grow at an increasing pace as its sales and distribution channels gear up."
