Net revenue in Q1 2023/24 reached DKK 81.9 million.
As expected, we see an extraordinarily low revenue,
where customers have postponed reordering in their
effort to reduce inventory and working capital towards
year end.
In addition to the above, we are exposed to a weaker
USD exchange rate compared to last year. The majority
of our revenue and direct production costs are in USD.
Adjusted for the exchange rate effect compared to last
year, the fx corrected revenue amounts to DKK 85.3
million.
Gross profit in Q1 2023/24 reached DKK 31.9 million,
which is 68.6% below last year. RTX has large custom-
ers with a broad portfolio of products with different
gross margins, and therefore the mix sold in the quarter
heavily impacts the gross profit. The gross profit for Q1
2023/24 is impacted by the low overall revenue and
a product mix which represents a below average gross
margin.
Gross margin in Q1 2023/24 reached 38.9%, which
is 6.9 percentage points below full year 2022/23. The
gross margin for Q1 2023/24 is impacted by revenue
mix of products. During the next quarters of 2023/24,
we expect a positive development of gross margin from
product mix combined with our efforts to improve indi-
vidual gross margin per product.
EBITDA in Q1 2023/24 was DKK -30.5 million, 172.5%
below last year. The result is impacted by the signifi-
cantly lower revenue and gross margin. During the end
of 2023, cost reduction initiatives were taken, which we
expect to see the impact of in Q3 2023/24.
EBIT in Q1 2023/24 amounted to DKK -41.2 million, as
depreciation was in line with previous periods.
Cash flows from operations (CFFO) in Q1 2023/24
was DKK -18.6 million. This is a result of lower revenue
combined with reduction in working capital.
Outlook for 2023/24
RTX maintains the outlook for the financial year
2023/24 as communicated on 13 November 2023 and
in our annual report for 2022/23, with revenue of DKK
580-630 million, EBITDA of DKK 45-60 million and
EBIT of DKK 5-20 million.
Revenue for 2023/24: 80% of revenue is expected
to come from existing products, and 20% from new
product and module launches. RTX financial Q1 shows
revenue of DKK 81.9 million and we foresee Q2 to
reach revenue between DKK 120-130 million based on
the current order book and delivery plan. With the slow
H1 2023/24, the outlook for H2 2023/24 reflects a
stepwise return to a normalized production and delivery
pattern, where Q4 2023/24 is anticipated to be the
strongest quarter. We only expect to approach a fully
normalized run rate of product sales by the end of
2023/24, and it will vary from customer to customer.
Gross margin dynamics are influenced by the product
mix. The Q1 2023/24 delivery of low-margin products
is expected to be balanced by higher-margin products
in the remaining quarters.
Capacity costs for 2023/24 are expected to end
lower than for 2022/23. This is a result of cost con-
trolling measures implemented by management in Q1
2023/24 and expected to be maintained throughout
the year. The impact of the efforts will be most evident
in H2 2023/24.
Inventory, comprising components, finished goods,
and goods in transit, will see a reduction during the rest
of the financial year 2023/24 as revenue grows and
inflow of components has stopped. The absolute size
of the inventory reduction depends on development in
revenue.
During the past years, the electronic industry has
experienced extraordinary supply chain challenges, but
we are now in a situation where we see a high level of
channel stocking at our customers. Our customers are
working to reduce their stock levels and working capi-
tal, and this combined with a normalized order horizon
of 3 months compared to previously 18 months, has re-
sulted in customers postponing new product orders. All
our customers express continued belief in the products
we have jointly developed and expect demand to pick
up as stock reaches a normalized level.
