(MENAFN- Newsfile Corp) Ottawa, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 21, 2024) - Enablence Technologies (TSXV: ENA) ("Enablence" or the "Company"), a leading provider of optical chips and sub systems that performs communications, sensing and computing in datacom, telecom, automotive and artificial intelligence (AI) applications has filed its audited statements for the first quarter ending ("Fiscal Year 2025") and related management's discussion and analysis and certifications (collectively, the "Financial Statements"). Electronic copies of the Financial Statements are available on SEDAR ( ) under Enablence's issuer profile.

Commenting on the Company's first quarter 2025 performance, CEO, Todd Haugen stated, "We exceeded our targets with over 400% growth for the first quarter ended, September 30, 2024. This marks a major turning point for the Company. Our growing success reflects the strength of our strategic plan backed by strong demand for our products and an expanding customer installed base across datacom and advanced vision market segments."

"For the quarter ended, sales of key datacom, LiDAR and AI products increased significantly with progress being made across our three key business segments. This reflects a healthy and rapidly growing order book, greater long-term visibility through the pipeline. Our success includes significant market traction in both the traditional optical communications market and new growth, optical sensing, and optical compute markets. This is largely being driven by investments in artificial intelligence (AI) where we are positioned to succeed."

Haugen added, "Our key goal remains to onboard new infrastructure as quickly as possible to support new and existing customer demand. For example, we increased investments in manufacturing infrastructure, implemented refurbishment programs across our facilities and invested in new, high volume production equipment that is designed to meet demand of 1000/wafer starts per week in FY2026. This will allow us to aggressively drive more product to market targeting traditional datacom customers while still seeding high growth, advanced vision markets such as LiDAR. Due to rapidly increasing demand, Q2 will remain roughly flat as we continue investing in capacity, enabling significantly increased deliveries in Q3 and Q4. Additionally, in the third quarter, customers will begin production of the first LiDAR and AI products containing Enablence optical semiconductors. This marks another milestone for the Company validating our strategy and diversifying our revenue stream."

"As a result of these successes, we are raising our revenue guidance for FY25, increasing our revenue target 10% to $5.5 - $6M representing year over year growth of over 375% which re-affirms the company commitment to be gross margin positive this fiscal year. This decision reflects our confidence in our strategy, and greater long-term visibility into the pipeline, expanding product portfolio and operational efficiencies that will enable us to meet the growth needs of new and existing customers," added Haugen.
