CEO Feedback
“Our product gross sales pipeline could be very strong and we anticipate greater than 100% prime line development in 2021,” stated CEO Karl Kenny. “This, mixed with the maturing of Kraken’s service capabilities and the proposed acquisition of PanGeo Subsea, supplies a robust platform for development in 2021 and past. As our prime line development continues and we close to completion of main R&D applications in 2022 (multispectral SAS and ThunderFish® XL), we anticipate to see an acceleration in working leverage with focused EBITDA margins within the 30%-35% vary from a stability of product gross sales and recurring providers income.”   

*Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin shouldn’t have standardized that means beneath IFRS and will not be akin to related measures utilized by different issuers. We outline Adjusted EBITDA as income much less prices of gross sales, administrative bills, analysis and improvement prices plus funding tax credit. We outline Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues.
