"The Board is pleased to report on a period of strong trading and execution against our strategy in FY24 to date, in line with our expectations. We have made further progress in growing our commercial revenues, and renewals for our government segment also remain on track. Within the commercial segment, we see accelerated take up of our Business Intelligence solutions, which allow customers to increase revenues. Recent customer wins include Berge Logistics, OCIMF, Zodiac Maritime and Valletta Bunkers. As previously announced in February, Windward has also expanded its collaboration with the London Stock Exchange Group to provide customers with comprehensive compliance and risk management solutions beyond the maritime domain.
Our AI-powered insights are delivering a tangible impact on visibility, efficiency and cost for key players across global trade. Amid the complex web of maritime challenges across sanctions, supply chains and security Windward is an established strategic partner for governments and enterprises alike.
Looking ahead, we are confident in achieving our stated goal of reaching an EBITDA break-even run rate during FY24, supported by the healthy market-wide demand, successful partnerships and the growing sophistication and breadth of our offering. We remain excited by the opportunity ahead to further transform the maritime industry through bringing both vertical and generative AI solutions to our customers."
