Tungsten Corporation reaction
Responding to the Group’s results, CEO Andrew Lemonofides, states:
“In this year of transformation, we are demonstrating our ability to reduce costs and accelerate revenue. I am pleased to highlight that all of our strategic initiatives are being delivered as mentioned above and forecast last summer. In addition, I am continuing to restructure the company, drive down costs, re-boot our technology, replace key staff, introduce new products and augment new partnerships – and so build a redefined Tungsten in pole position to deliver accelerating growth.”
“Revenues remain in line with our YTD Q3-FY20 expectations. Whilst we still expect to show year on year growth in new sales billings, the growth will be below the level that we had previously expected and as a result we are a little more cautious about the outturn for the full year. However, as a result of prudent cost controls, we currently expect to meet EBITDA expectations.”
