Versarien PLC on Monday said it is making progress in line with its strategy as it cuts its cost base. The Cheltenham, England-based engineering materials company said it has reduced its cost base ‘significantly’, with its loss before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation and exceptional items at a lower run rate than in the first half of the year. As a result, it said it has seen a reduction in cash burn. The firm said despite its reduced cost base, it is making progress in its strategy to license its technology, brands and manufacturing expertise, divest its non-core activities and Korean assets, strengthen its scientific teams and use its experience in leisure and construction leisure to be a ‘manufacturing light operation’. It also noted that it has recently made commercial progress, including with the launch of Umbro’s Autumn/Winter range with Versarien Graphene-Wear coatings, as well as its delivery of additional Graphene-Wear rubber compound to Flux Footwear LLC’s supply chain partners. Versarien shares fell 6.7% to 1.11 pence each on Monday morning in London. Copyright 2023 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
