Als we 2024 binnenstappen, doen we dat met vertrouwen, verankerd door een stabiel productplatform voor zowel commerci\u00eble grootschalige kassen als ons dynamische Agtech-segment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mfn-wp-retain\">Hoewel onze reis in 2023 niet precies overeenkwam met de ambitieuze begrotingsdoelen die we ons hadden gesteld, ben ik blij te kunnen aankondigen dat onze netto-omzet met 37% is verbeterd ten opzichte van het voorgaande jaar, ondanks de uitdagingen op de markt en een concurrerend landschap. Gedurende het jaar werden we geconfronteerd met verschillende obstakels, waaronder inflatie, hogere rentetarieven, lagere energieprijzen en een uitgesteld subsidieprogramma in Nederland. Deze uitdagingen droegen bij aan een geschatte daling in de tuinbouwbelichtingsmarkt van maximaal -40% tot -50% ten opzichte van 2022. Bijgevolg stelden veel van onze commerci\u00eble telers en klanten hun investeringen uit naar het volgende jaar of kozen ze voor kleinere testproeven.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mfn-wp-retain\">Desondanks zijn we erin geslaagd om drie aanbestedingen te winnen van toonaangevende technische universiteiten in Denemarken en de VS en hebben we verkoop- en proefprojecten opgezet met bekende kwekers in Europa en Canada op het gebied van jonge planten en siergewassen, waaronder Queens, Hendriks Young Plants, Sakata, Hendriks Greenhouses, Feldborg en Glenwood Walley Farms. We hebben ook ons netwerk in de sector uitgebreid, waardoor we toegang hebben tot meer belangrijke projecten en onze pijplijn hebben kunnen uitbreiden. Vooruitkijkend naar 2024 verwachten we daarom een verschuiving in onze portfolio naar grotere kasseninitiatieven. Deze strategische ommezwaai positioneert ons voor aanhoudend succes en groei in het komende jaar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mfn-wp-retain\">Het momentum van 2023 zet zich voort in het nieuwe jaar, zoals blijkt uit onze proactieve benadering van verkoop en marketing. In 2024 hebben we al deelgenomen aan twee prominente beurzen: IPM Essen in Essen, Duitsland, en Fruit Logistica in Berlijn, Duitsland, met plannen om in maart te exposeren op Horticontact in Groningen, Nederland. In het eerste kwartaal van dit jaar hebben we ook ons nieuwe Nederlandse kantoor opgericht. Deze verbintenissen geven aan hoezeer we ernaar streven onze aanwezigheid in belangrijke markten te versterken en zinvolle contacten met belanghebbenden in de sector te bevorderen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mfn-wp-retain\">Throughout 2023, our focus remained steadfast on developing innovative, customer-centric solutions. We introduced groundbreaking products such as the MITRA X Flex, a three-spectrum-in-one solution with flexible far-red, DOXA, our wireless PAR sensor, and an enhanced version of our control system &#8211; helioCORE 2.0. This version offers a more user-friendly interface with drag-and-drop features, real-time weather forecasts, dynamic zoning and dimming capabilities, along with new data-overview and safeguard features- an offering unique to Heliospectra in the market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mfn-wp-retain\">Voortbouwend op deze basis zijn we verheugd om ons nieuwste aanbod te onthullen: de nieuwe ELIXIA en DYNA platforms, onze volledig regelbare oplossingen, die in april\/mei volledig worden gelanceerd. Beide zullen aanzienlijke verbeteringen bieden op het gebied van IP-classificatie, output en effici\u00ebntie, waarbij de ELIXIA-armatuur nu een extra golflengte biedt, van 4 naar 5 golflengtes. Het nieuwe platform stelt ons in staat om onze relevantie en sterke merknaam in de onderzoeksmarkt te behouden en tegelijkertijd onze oplossing te verbeteren voor bijvoorbeeld zaadproducenten en onderzoekskassen.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mfn-wp-retain\">Additionally, our development team has recently unveiled advancements to our MITRA X platform, making the platform fully modular and allowing us to cater to diverse environments and crops. The platform now comes with a wattage ranging from 325W to 1500W, a comprehensive spectrum portfolio ranging from 40% red to 90% red, a Flexible spectrum alternative, an efficacy of up to 3.7, and an output of up to 5700 &micro;mol. This, combined with our Swedish craftsmanship, use of only A-brand components, and unique dynamic solutions, provides growers with market-leading quality against a very competitive cost per mmol!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mfn-wp-retain\">Onze kostenbesparende initiatieven, gelanceerd in 2022, hebben aanzienlijke voordelen opgeleverd. Door onze afhankelijkheid van externe adviseurs te minimaliseren en interne middelen te optimaliseren, konden we onze andere externe kosten verlagen met SEK 14,4 miljoen, wat neerkomt op een opmerkelijke daling van 43% in 2023. Daarnaast droegen voorzieningen die opzij waren gezet voor mogelijke RMA-zaken bij aan deze kostenverlaging, waarbij een deel van de toegewezen middelen ongebruikt bleef. In het eerste kwartaal van 2024 hebben we de laatste fase van ons kostenbesparingsprogramma succesvol afgerond door ons kantoor in G\u00f6teborg te verhuizen, wat resulteerde in een verlaging van de huurkosten met 50%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mfn-wp-retain\">In combinatie met de stijging van de netto-omzet leidde dit tot een aanzienlijke verbetering van de bedrijfsresultaten met SEK 12,3 miljoen of 34% ten opzichte van het voorgaande jaar. Deze prestatie is een bewijs van de ijverige inspanningen van ons team, de verkoopverbeteringen en de doeltreffendheid van onze kostenbesparings- en herstructureringsinitiatieven. Belangrijk is dat we in deze periode van groei en transformatie een gezonde marge op onze producten hebben weten te behouden.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mfn-wp-retain\">As we embark on this journey into 2024, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support and trust in Heliospectra, especially our 3 main shareholders, Weland Weland St&aring;l AB, Agartha AB, and Corespring New Technology AB. Together, we are poised to capitalize on emerging opportunities, overcome challenges, and propel our company to new heights of success.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mfn-wp-retain\">Met dankbaarheid,<\/p>\n<p class=\"mfn-wp-retain\">Bonny Heeren,&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mfn-wp-retain\">CEO en interim-CFO<br \/>Heliospectra AB<\/p>\n<div class=\"mfn-footer\">Voor meer informatie:<\/p>\n<p class=\"mfn-wp-retain\">Rebecca Nordin, hoofd IR bij Heliospectra | +46 (0)72 536 8116 | ir@heliospectra.com<\/p>\n<p class=\"mfn-wp-retain\"><a href=\"https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/nl\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.heliospectra.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mfn-wp-retain\">The information was submitted for publication through the agency of the named contact person at 08:30 a.m. CET on February 23, 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mfn-footer mfn-attachment mfn-attachment-general\">\n<p class=\"mfn-wp-retain\"><strong class=\"mfn-heading-1\">Bijlagen<\/strong><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/mb.cision.com\/Main\/5333\/3934430\/2624016.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PDF<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/mb.cision.com\/Public\/5333\/3934430\/99ff96aaa137daa0.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PDF<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<script>\n                Array.prototype.slice.call(document.querySelectorAll(\".mfn-footer.mfn-attachment\")).forEach(function (el) { el.remove() });\n            <\/script>\n        <div class=\"mfn-attachments-container\"><div class=\"mfn-attachment\"><a class=\"mfn-attachment-link\" href=\"https:\/\/storage.mfn.se\/proxy\/pdf.pdf?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmb.cision.com%2FMain%2F5333%2F3934430%2F2624016.pdf\"><span class=\"mfn-attachment-icon\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.mfn.se\/proxy\/pdf.pdf?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmb.cision.com%2FMain%2F5333%2F3934430%2F2624016.pdf&type=jpg\"><\/span>PDF<\/a><\/div><div class=\"mfn-attachment\"><a class=\"mfn-attachment-link\" href=\"https:\/\/storage.mfn.se\/proxy\/pdf.pdf?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmb.cision.com%2FPublic%2F5333%2F3934430%2F99ff96aaa137daa0.pdf\"><span class=\"mfn-attachment-icon\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.mfn.se\/proxy\/pdf.pdf?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmb.cision.com%2FPublic%2F5333%2F3934430%2F99ff96aaa137daa0.pdf&type=jpg\"><\/span>PDF<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Feb 23,&nbsp;2024, at 08:30 CET)- Heliospectra AB (publ), a leader in intelligent lighting technology for greenhouse and controlled plant growth environments, presents its Year-End Report for 2023.&nbsp; Full report is enclosed to this press release and is also uploaded at&nbsp;https:\/\/heliospectra.com\/investor-relations\/financial-reports-documents\/reports\/.
