Trading Update
And
New Contract Awards
Image Scan Holdings PLC (AIM: IGE), the specialist provider of X-ray screening systems, announces a trading update and two new contract awards, further strengthening its significant order book.
As indicated in the Interim Results announcement, the Board is anticipating a positive second half of the year, albeit the result for the full year will be dependent on the timing of order receipts and their subsequent delivery. Although the Board believes there are no fundamental issues with the Company's suppliers, long lead times in the supply chain are impacting manufacturing and assembly time. As a result, the outcome for the year ending 30 September 2025 remains uncertain but the expectation is that current market guidance will not be achieved.
The Company's cash position at the end of July was £771k, which represents an improvement on the cash position of £512k as at 31 March 2025 and is not expected to be materially different by the year end, however this will be dependent on timely receipts from new contracts and deliveries.
The Board is delighted with the two new significant contract awards, but it is as yet unclear whether these orders and other anticipated orders can be delivered before the year end.
The first order is for a new customer in North America for the Company's industrial MDXi-400 system, a significant success given the current maturity of this market. The second is an order for our latest portable ThreatScan® system for another new customer, an Eastern European military organisation. The Company is also in the process of delivering a double-digit quantity of ThreatScan® systems to a customer in Southeast Asia and anticipates this will be completed before the end of the financial year.
The Company continues to seek clarity in respect of the large contract timing received from a UK defence contractor, with a status update anticipated during Q1 of the next financial year.
The Company is actively managing the supply chain challenges and the entire team remains focused on delivering its significant order book.
