Seeing Machines Ltd - Canberra-based designer of artificial intelligence powered operator monitoring systems - Units produced in the third quarter more than double to 1.3 million from 578,363 in the prior quarter and soar from 358,162 in the same quarter a year ago, establishing a "materially higher quarterly run-rate." In addition, says third quarter royalty revenue was higher than royalty revenue for the entire first half of the financial year. This reflects accelerating DMS fitment across existing and new production programs, Seeing Machines says. Looking ahead, Seeing Machines believes the third quarter marks the transition to significantly higher quarterly volumes, driven by regulatory-led fitment, that will continue to increase into financial 2027. Further says Guardian commercial momentum remains solid. Sales grow on-year to 1,610 units from 1,151 a year ago, but are down on-quarter from 3,764. Seeing Machines says some sales expected in the third quarter have shifted to the fourth quarter, where early performance is encouraging. Read More
Ramsdens Holdings PLC - Stockton on Tees, England-based financial services provider and pawnbroker - Now expects pretax profit for the year to September 30 of at least GBP28.5 million, up from a prior view of at least GBP24 million. Profit could hit GBP31.5 million, "if the favourable gold price continues and summer currency volumes are in line with last year". But cautions uncertainty over the gold price, and recent reports around fuel shortages impacting flights over the summer may also hit international travel and consequently foreign currency sales. Chief Executive Peter Kenyon says: "We have had a strong start to the year given the economic back drop with our pawnbroking, jewellery retail and foreign currency exchange services all performing well. In addition, we have had an exceptional half year for our purchase of precious metals segment due to the continued benefits of a sustained high gold price and the increased weight being purchased."
