Haydale, (AIM: HAYD), the global advanced materials group, announces a trading update for the year ended 30 June 2022  (the "Year").

The Group anticipates announcing revenues for the Year ahead of market expectations. Revenues have been supported by the strong launch of Hi-Therm[1], with sales of functionalised boron nitride conductive fluids expected to be markedly ahead of contractual volumes, and the positive settlement that has been reached over a previously announced contractual dispute with a US group selling silicon carbide cutting tooling and wear-resistant solutions.  Counteracting this have been the slower than anticipated sales of silicon carbide to East Asian customers, who have been adversely impacted by the lock downs in China. During the year, Haydale has continued to strengthen its teams across all Group sites and this investment in sales, marketing, quality and production resource will partly offset the uplift in revenue at the EBITDA level.

Haydale's HDPlas™ functionalisation process is the cornerstone of the Group's graphene and other nano particle offering.  The Group successfully commissioned its new HT1400 plasma reactor in April 2022, and this has increased our functionalisation capacity eight-fold and we can now functionalise up to 8 tonnes of graphene or other nano particles per month.  In the final quarter of the Year, the Directors have accelerated the capital expenditure programme at the Ammanford facility to expand the Group's capacity to process Hi-Therm,  to increase  production and dispersion capacity for the proprietary bio-medical sensor inks and to enhance the quality control systems at the site.  The increased capital investment and working capital demand has impacted cash which stood at £1.62 million at the end of May.

The Directors expect the commercial momentum from this Year to continue during the year ended 30 June 2023 and this reinforces confidence in the medium and long term prospects and the overall significant potential for the Group.

Keith Broadbent, Haydale CEO, said: "Our transition from a research and development focussed organisation to a commercial operation has accelerated during the 2^nd half of the Year and we look forward to driving our business forward in the coming year and thereafter."
