Seeing Machines Limited (LON:SEE) said sales growth in the current financial year will be a little less explosive than previously indicated owing to manufacturing delays.
The company’s manufacturing partner said a global shortage in capacitor and power supply units that are used in the company’s Guardian Gen 2 vehicle fleet product will cause a delay of around six weeks to the shipment of a number of products.

As a result of the delay, money for the shipments will now be received in the next financial year, prompting the driver monitoring technology specialist to lower its sales guidance for the current fiscal year (FY18) to A$30mln – A$35mln from its previous guidance range of A$38mln – A$43mln.
“Whilst the board of Seeing Machines is disappointed by this delay, the revised outlook still represents a doubling of FY17 sales for the FY18 period,” the company said.
The company said its Aviation business is developing steadily while the Off-Road and Rail businesses are progressing well and are performing in line with management's expectations.
