Bittium Corporation released its interim report for January-September 2024, noting improvements in net sales, operating results, and cash flow compared to the previous year, alongside significant growth in its order backlog. The company began segment-based financial reporting in 2024, covering Defense & Security, Medical, Engineering Services, and Group Functions. For July-September 2024, net sales remained stable at EUR 14.0 million, with an improved operating result. From January-September 2024, net sales grew to EUR 52.0 million, with an operating result of EUR 2.6 million, aided by efficiency measures and reduced R&D investments. The geopolitical climate positively influenced demand in the Defense & Security segment, which saw a 44% increase in Q3 net sales to EUR 7.0 million. The Medical segment faced challenges with a 22.8% decrease in Q3 net sales to EUR 4.1 million due to slow medical device approvals. The Engineering Services segment also saw a decline, with a 21.2% drop in Q3 net sales to EUR 3.0 million, affected by a challenging market environment. Bittium expects 2024 net sales to be between EUR 85-95 million, with an operating result of EUR 7.0-9.5 million, an improvement from the previous year's operating loss. The company continues to focus on transforming from an R&D entity to a sales-oriented product company.
