Kraken Robotics (PNG) has posted a huge boost in revenue and is nearing net profit in its latest quarterly report.
Revenue from the company’s second quarter leapt from $1.3 million last year to $2.3 million this year. Half-year revenue reached $8.7 million against the $2.7 million in last year’s corresponding period, a boost of 220 per cent.

The company also sold its Sea Vision underwater laser system to a defence contractor, and booking work for its Robotics-as-a-Service and data analytics business for an offshore energy customer.

Turning to liquidity, the company’s balance sheet still retains $4.9 million in previously awarded government funding for the OceanVision project, as well as $3.4 million in cash-on-hand.
Kraken’s CEO and President Karl Kenny he was looking forward to kicking off the upcoming contract with the Royal Danish Navy.

“We have added significant depth to our team over the last year as we focus on continued innovation in the marine technology sector and now start to ramp on larger contracts and programs,” he said.
