Seeing Machines is experiencing consistent, quarter on quarter growth in high-margin royalty revenue, as more cars start production, with significant growth over the year. This is expected to continue to increase as new programs start production despite the challenges facing the automotive industry such as seasonality, supply chain issues and global economic factors.

 

In Aftermarket, quarterly Guardian connections have grown steadily and units sold, yet to be connected, has decreased, contributing to annual recurring revenue. The monitored connections figure does not include additional hardware sales from Guardian upgrades, from Generation 1 to Generation 2, as Australia phases out its 3G networks in favour of 4G over the next 12 months. Replacement sales counted for an additional 1,294 units.

 

Paul McGlone, CEO of Seeing Machines, said: "I am pleased with the consistent, steady quarterly growth across both Automotive and Aftermarket, and exceeding the major milestone of 50,000 Guardian units installed as at the end of April was particularly important in the face of supply chain issues over the past couple of years. The annual growth for cars on road of 177% and 30% for Guardian connections, is significant and will continue to accelerate as more cars start production across increasing programs, and as we get our next generation of Guardian technology into the market. Regulatory momentum continues to be a key driver across the business as Europe's General Safety Regulation requires Driver Monitoring System technology to reduce risks on their roads, and the USA moves to a similar, safety focused approach. Our market leading position, diversified go to market strategy and scale means we are ideally positioned to continue benefitting from the ever-growing focus on transport safety around the world."
