Ottawa, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 30, 2025) - Enablence Technologies Inc. (TSXV: ENA) ("Enablence" or the "Company"), a leading provider of optical chips and sub systems that perform communications, sensing and computing datacom, telecom, automotive and artificial intelligence (AI) applications has filed its audited financial statements for the third quarter ending March 31, 2025 and related management's discussion and analysis and certifications (collectively, the "Financial Statements"). Electronic copies of the Financial Statements are available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) under Enablence's issuer profile.
Commenting on the Company's third quarter, fiscal year 2025 performance, CEO, Todd Haugen stated, "The macro-economic outlook has been disrupted by recent, short-term geo-political events that impacted supply chain operations of Enablence and the industry at large. Despite the challenges posed by these extraordinary events, I am pleased to report that we have been able to minimize the global impact of these events on our operational plan for the time-being and can report another strong quarter. Consequently, we remain committed to the lower end of the previously stated guidance in respect of our revenue target for Fiscal Year 2025."
"Our order book is strong, and we continue to grow revenue in our core datacom business which is strengthening in line with expectations," said Haugen. "In addition, we are gaining new market share and customers in artificial intelligence and advanced vision businesses, especially in the LiDAR space as evidenced by the recent Light IC announcement unveiling the first FMCW chip for LiDAR applications. In terms of our strategic growth plan, I can report that demand continues to be strong across all three businesses – optical communications, optical sensing, and optical compute."
