The company completed a $20 million capital raise in December to support its sales and investment internationally.
Management comment Commenting on the results, Damstra chief executive officer Christian Damstra said:
This improved performance was due to increased activity and client wins in ANZ, and we believe in this quarter some of our international opportunities will also eventuate.What’s next for the company? Damstra also revealed its revenue for the third quarter to date is higher than revenue at the same point in Q2.We have successfully completed our capital raise in December to strengthen our balance sheet and have sufficient capital to return to positive operating cash flows, whilst continuing to grow internationally, particularly in North America.
We have seen an increase in ANZ activity as we continue to make good progress with a number of international client opportunities, and we were pleased to provide solutions to many of our clients as they managed tracking and monitoring through the ongoing disruption from COVID-19.
The company plans to continue to reduce its operating cash outflows while increasing revenue. Damstra’s announcement claimed its Australian operations were a stand-out performer, despite the company not breaking down the results on location.
Damstra is also in final contract discussions with a global mining client in North America. It’s expecting a decision from this client before the end of March.
