Q3 Results: SciDev continues soaring!
This morning, we announced our Q3 results, where we once again delivered record revenue and EBITDA. SciDev CEO Seán Halpin addressed performance for Q3 FY24, saying, “Our performance in this quarter demonstrates the continued momentum and high demand for SciDev technology as we strengthened our industry position, delivering a record quarterly revenue of $29.1m. Importantly, we continue to grow in a sustainable manner, recording a positive cashflow over the course of FY24 and delivering a year-to-date EBITDA of $6.8 million.
“The company’s strong financial performance is driven by the growth in our client base and operational performance across all markets. Our market share in the oil and gas sector improved significantly as our industry-leading proprietary chemistry is increasingly adopted by a growing client base across multiple onshore basins. We are also expanding the number of SciDev products provided per completion fleet to ensure we continue growing our market share.
“It was a pleasure to welcome Mike Utsler as Non-executive Director. Mike’s extensive experience in the global and North American oil and gas sector and comprehensive strategic and technical knowledge will be invaluable as we continue to grow our American energy business.
“Our results represent a strong set of operational outcomes and successful project milestones that continue to advance our growth strategy as an emerging water tech leader. In the long term, the mega-trends playing out in the world around us continue to underline our confidence in the future demand for our industry-leading solutions.”
