(Alliance News) - Zenova Group PLC on Friday said it anticipates 2025 being a year of "significant commercial breakthrough" as it posted weaker revenue alongside a narrowed loss.
The London-based fire suppression and interdiction solutions company narrowed its pretax loss in the financial year ended November 30 to GBP1.4 million from GBP2.1 million a year earlier.
However, revenue fell 76% to GBP68,000 from GBP278,000, with the top line weakness driven by delays in order execution.
The improved earnings despite the weaker revenue can be primarily attributed to a reduction in administrative costs.
These fell 37% to GBP1.3 million from GBP2.1 million.
Looking ahead, Zenova expects to accelerate revenue growth through a combination of macroeconomic tailwinds, expanding product certifications, continued distributor network expansion, and through its joint venture supplying regional markets.
Chief Executive Thomas Melchior commented: "2024 was undoubtedly a challenging year for Zenova, but it was also a period of necessary transformation. My team and I remained focused on repositioning the business for sustainable growth-innovating across our product range, restructuring operations, and reducing costs to better capitalise on our competitive advantages."
"With a strengthened foundation and a clearer path to execution, I am optimistic that 2025 will be a year of significant commercial breakthrough and revenue growth."
Shares in Zenova closed flat at 0.21 pence on Friday in London.
