Andrew Pearson, CEO of Maestrano, commented:

“Following our March Quarter update (announced 20 April 2020) it is very encouraging to see the continuing strong growth in the core Airsight business units, Corridor and Nextcore. Airsight had a strong 4 months pre-merger (1/7/19 to 31/10/19) and when this is swapped for Maestrano revenue in the same period, we see the true trend in the business, with 74% year on year growth in constant currency and only 28% increase in expenses.  We are confident of continuing growth in FY21.”

Ian Buddery, Chairman of Maestrano Group, commented:

“The board is delighted with the trajectory of the business, particularly in the uncertain economic conditions since early March.  The acquisition of Airsight has exceeded expectations, along with the commercial uptake and results of the Corridor platform since our first signings with ARTC and Meitetsu in January. Further development of the software and our Nextcore LiDAR technology continues apace. Revenue from contracts in hand will continue in the 2021 Fiscal Year and we are excited by the pipeline of opportunities for growth, including in the USA, whilst maintaining caution over unforeseen economic impacts from COVID-19.”
