Q1
2024 Trading Update (1 April to 30 June)
·
Unaudited Q1 2024 revenues of £192k up 134% on Q1
2023 (£82k), second highest quarterly revenue following record Q4
2023.
·
Record quarter for product sales with total volume
of product sold in the first quarter having increased 32% over Q4
2023 and trebled vs. the same period last year. Revenues down
on last quarter due to product promotion activity in relation to
High Sulphur Fuel Oil (HSFO) and biofuels.
·
Product promotions secured first SulNOx product
sales for use in HSFO and vessels using biofuels. HSFO represents
c.25% of world bunker demand and biofuels are becoming increasingly
important as shipping regulations become more stringent and
emissions focussed.
·
Shipping Update: Maritime sector interest in Q1
continued to grow rapidly. New vessels using our products include
container and cruise ships, both consuming significant quantities
of fuel. Today, 35 shipping companies are evaluating the product or
expanding its use across their combined fleet size of c.4,500
vessels. The pipeline remains very strong with 51 (Q4 c.45)
additional shipping companies in discussion to begin evaluations,
which we expect to convert to revenue in the coming
quarters.
·
New stock locations: Houston and Singapore
established in response to client demand.

Patent update: Application for "Fuel Oil
Reclamation" has entered the National Phase in >70 countries.
This opens up the c. $2bn market for SulNOx. Further patent
applications for the SulNOx emulsifier are in process.

Radu Florescu, Chairman of SulNOx Group commented, "Whilst Q1
has delivered encouraging revenues and record sales volumes, most
significant is SulNOx demonstrating that it can provide a fuel and
emissions reduction solution for users of HSFO and biofuels -
opening up significant new marine opportunities. Q2 already shows
considerable further potential in Africa, and further revenues
expected from some very promising R&D results and strategic
partnerships. SulNOx is also making several new hires to grow sales
in line with ambitions"
