The positive momentum in margins and earnings is expected to continue, with positive operating cashflow anticipated by the end of FY25.
The business remains on a path to positive operating cash flow. Performance over the last year has demonstrated strong strategic momentum. Penthrox demand continues to be strong with encouraging lead indicators for future growth. This modest raise will support investment to accelerate our progress. I thank my fellow Board members and our Chief Executive Officer Brent MacGregor for their support in this raise.
