Seeing Machines has delivered a strong year on year increase
(98%) in Automotive production volumes with the Group's technology
now installed in over 1.3 million vehicles. Seasonality of
automotive production impacted the quarter-on-quarter growth rate,
similarly to Q1 FY2023.
In Aftermarket, monitored connections of 54,140 have grown by
over 30% annually. This number excludes the sale of approximately
480 Guardian units in Q1 FY2024, upgrading customers from
Generation 1 to Generation 2, as Australia phases out its 3G
networks in favour of 4G over the next 12 months.
Paul McGlone, CEO of Seeing Machines, said : "We welcome our
16(th) Automotive program award with our existing Tier 1 and OEM
customers. This expanded business opportunity extends our
incumbency with this particular OEM, giving us increased confidence
for extensions across more vehicle lines within their portfolio. As
a leading supplier of mission critical transport safety systems,
being trusted is of paramount importance and while this individual
award is reasonably modest in size, it further validates our proven
technology and I am confident we will see more business from this
OEM customer.
The quarterly KPIs provide transparency across the core metrics
within our business and therefore expose us to seasonal trends,
especially in the Automotive space. That considered, we are pleased
to see growth close to our expected 100% year on year run rate in
Automotive royalties, with over 1.3 millions cars on the road
containing our safety technology and double-digit growth in our
Aftermarket business. We are benefitting from the compelling
structural drivers in our industry as new transport safety laws
mandating the use of Driver Monitoring technology fast
approach."
