VIA optronics AG Provides Strategic Update on Business Transformation
NUREMBERG, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- VIA optronics AG (OTC: VIAOY) ('VIA' or the 'Company'), a leading supplier of interactive display solutions, today announced several updates related to its business transformation initiatives, 2024 and 2025 outlook, as well as a search for a new strategic investor. This update follows the release of audited financials for fiscal 2023 and the Company plans to file its fiscal 2024 financial results shortly. Key Highlights: VIA has made significant progress executing against its proactive transformation and cost initiatives to stabilize and realign the business over the last several quarters. This includes further optimization of its efficiency and productivity programs, further reducing overhead costs, as well as developing and expanding partnerships with new customers and across new markets. The Company's global manufacturing footprint in Germany, Japan, and China provides competitive advantages to navigate the dynamic tariff situation and win new business as smaller competitors have exited numerous markets. VIA retains a strong position and reputation in the automotive market, and has significantly broadened its near-term focus on the less cyclical industrial display market, which is expected to grow at a 6.7% CAGR* through 2030 (Source: Industrial Display Market Size, Trends | Industry Report, 2030). The Company's product strengths, such as optical bonding, metal mesh touch sensors, cameras and ruggedized displays, align well with these industrial sector trends. VIA maintained a disciplined approach to cash management over the last several years and has secured credit lines in Germany, China, and Japan, ensuring financial flexibility as it advances its operational turnaround. As a result of the completion of many of the Company's transformation and cost initiatives, it expects significantly enhanced gross margin and EBITDA in fiscal 2024, with further improvement in fiscal 2025. The Company is targeting a strategic investment partner to aid in the acceleration of its growth trajectory and capitalize on emerging market opportunities. Roland Chochoiek, Chief Executive Officer of VIA Optronics, commented 'Over the last year and a half, we have made significant progress stabilizing the business by optimizing our platform through numerous efficiency and productivity programs, as well as disciplined cost controls. We have also redirected our focus on diversifying the end markets we support, through strategic investments in areas of the business that support the industrial display market. We continue to see significant growth opportunities globally across these markets, and believe they offer long-term opportunities that will make our overall revenues more stable and profitable over the long term.'

Fleet Emissions Rise As Imports Fall Sharply
Press Release – Imported Motor Vehicle Industry Association A major position paper released by VIA this monthAccelerating the Path to Sustainable Transportfound that not only is the CCS failing to deliver the expected environmental benefits but is also directly undermining progress by constraining access to cleaner, … Projected import volumes for used vehicles in New Zealand could fall as low as 60,000 by 2028, slashing fleet turnover and threatening emissions goals, according to industry analysis. A major position paper released by VIA this month— Accelerating the Path to Sustainable Transport —found that not only is the CCS failing to deliver the expected environmental benefits but is also directly undermining progress by constraining access to cleaner, affordable used vehicles—still the most relied-upon segment by 80% of New Zealand consumers. 'The Clean Car Standard was meant to green our roads, but it's stalling fleet renewal and ageing our vehicles,' says Greig Epps, Chief Executive of the Imported Motor Vehicle Industry Association (VIA). The Clean Car Standard (CCS), launched with the intention of reducing transport emissions, is now under fire from the very industry it was meant to help reform. 'VIA initially supported the Clean Car Programme's intent to reduce emissions but warned in October 2021 that its design could lead to unintended consequences, including vehicle shortages, rising costs, market inefficiencies, fleet aging, and flawed incentives—predictions that, as much as everyone hoped otherwise, have proven to be true,' says Epps. 1. Reassess the volume trap Data reveals that unless policy is urgently reformed, used import volumes could decline to 60,000 by 2028—a level last seen before the liberalisation of vehicle tariffs in the late 1980s. A contracting pipeline means fewer efficient vehicles are available to replace the old, high-emitting ones still on New Zealand's roads. That dynamic, compounded by cost-of-living pressures, will incentivise owners to repair and retain older cars, which will effectively reverse the emissions gains CCS was designed to produce. Epps says the reality is sobering, 'The average vehicle age is climbing, and with it, emissions per kilometre. Treasury warned back in 2019 that fleet refreshment—not just cleaner cars—was critical to reducing net emissions. VIA's latest reports show this advice was not heeded.' 2. Focus on fuel, not just fleets 'The fastest way to cut emissions is to target the energy source, not just the car,' says Epps. The paper advocates for a broader approach through a transparent, user-pays fuel levy to reflect the true climate cost of driving. By making petrol more expensive at the pump, behaviour change is more likely across all vehicle types, rather than penalising just the act of importing a car. 'We believe this would shift the incentive from vehicle purchase decisions alone to everyday usage—a more equitable approach,' says Epps. 'Especially given that vehicle supply is driven by Japanese auction markets and foreign exchange rates far beyond the control of Kiwi buyers or importers.' 3. Keep it simple, and sustainable Epps says the VIA is calling for CCS overhaul, if not replacement. 'At the heart of the issue is a misaligned set of targets and incentives. For example, current weight allowances mean that heavier vehicles receive more lenient emissions benchmarks, creating a perverse incentive that favours larger cars—despite their greater fuel use.' Epps is calling for a flat penalty for each gram of CO over a set threshold, applied at first registration and clearly displayed at the point of sale. 'This system would be transparent, fair, and easier for consumers to understand. Crucially, it would also better align with used market realities, where options are constrained by Japan's registration patterns from a decade ago,' he says. Broad approach to transport needed Epps says a genuinely effective response to transport emissions in New Zealand requires a whole-of-system approach—one that goes far beyond simply regulating the cars we drive. 'Focusing solely on the Clean Car Standard (CCS) neglects the broader ecosystem of transport choices that shape daily mobility, particularly in urban areas. Investment in public transport infrastructure offers scalable emissions reductions by shifting commuters out of private vehicles altogether. 'Electrifying bus fleets, expanding train services, and supporting active transport options like cycling and walking through safe, connected cycleways can deliver rapid, population-wide benefits.' Epps says these initiatives reduce vehicle kilometres travelled (VKT) and lower dependence on fossil fuels, regardless of the vehicle fleet's emissions profile. 'The Clean Car Standard can't carry the entire weight of our climate commitments,' says Epps, and the data supports this. By rebalancing policy focus to include modal shift—encouraging more people to choose buses, bikes, or trains instead of cars—New Zealand can achieve meaningful emissions reductions while also improving health, congestion, and social equity,' he says. This means investing not only in infrastructure but also in affordability and access: subsidised public transport, integrated ticketing systems, and support for electric bike ownership all play a role. 'A diversified strategy doesn't dilute emissions efforts—it strengthens them, ensuring more New Zealanders can participate in the transition, not just those in a position to buy a cleaner car,' says Epps. The path forward The original Clean Car Programme was built on good intentions, but execution has strayed into over-engineered policy that now actively hampers the transition it aimed to enable. 'Without affordable used hybrids and electrics flowing into the country at scale, emissions will continue to rise despite regulatory efforts.' Epps says that unfortunately, VIA's consistent warnings since 2021 have come to pass. 'We encourage the Government to decide whether to recalibrate to create a greener, more sustainable transport system. The alternative is rising costs, older cars, and missed climate targets,' he says. ABOUT VIA (Imported Motor Vehicle Industry Association) represents businesses involved in importing, preparing, wholesaling, and retailing used vehicles into New Zealand, primarily from Japan, Singapore, and other markets. As the industry's collective voice, VIA engages with government and stakeholders to support fair regulation and sustainable practices across the sector.
