Business Outlook

BluMetric continues to execute its long-term growth initiatives while navigating a more challenging operational backdrop in the second half of this fiscal year.

During this quarter, the Company faced obstacles in revenue generation due to schedule delays, particularly with respect to the Company’s Northern projects. These challenges are expected to continue into the next quarter due to recent widespread forest fires.

There was a decline in gross margin, which was also impacted by one-time costs arising from a custom wastewater treatment system to a mining client. Additionally, the Company made key investments into its employees and its corporate culture, which featured an off-site conference focused on leadership and long-term growth.

Execution challenges on certain projects have influenced this quarter’s financial performance. BluMetric is actively addressing these challenges with the goal of restoring a gross margin that aligns with its historical levels.

The Company continues to be pleased with progress in its growth initiatives which has helped drive a strong backlog. This achievement can be attributed to recent strategic business development activities, as well as steady demand for comprehensive environmental solutions within the Company’s four key client markets (Commercial & Industrial, Government, Military, and Mining). In particular, the Company is exploring broader market opportunities for its agile water and wastewater products in an effort to monetize its product know-how.
