Outlook

The Federal Reserve's interest rate cut has eased consumer and distributor sentiment, leading to a recovery in some aspects of sales. However, the current economic climate in Europe continues to negatively impact consumer sales, though the company remains confident that discussions with distributors and organisations focused on transitioning to EVs will result in a material improvement in B2B sales. The company is continuously improving its products and e-mobility solutions to provide a greater competitive advantage, and is actively pursuing opportunities in new regions to create new revenue streams. The longer-term trend towards EVs globally remains strong, with government policy facilitating the continued electrification of the transport industry.
