Sprintex secures A$3.25m to expand global output; reduce debt

Sprintex Ltd (ASX:SIX) managing director and CEO Jay Upton talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s successful A$3.25 million capital raise, drawing strong backing from both existing shareholders and new institutional investors. Upton said approximately A$1.5 million of the funds would go toward debt reduction, with the remaining A$1.75 million allocated to accelerating production and sales of Sprintex’s new range of high-speed electric compressors. These products aim to improve energy efficiency, offering “more than 50% energy savings versus the current benchmark products”. He discussed the company’s strategic manufacturing expansion, highlighting the transition of its Malaysian facility to support electric compressor production—mirroring current operations in Suzhou, China. This move is designed to double manufacturing capacity, navigate global trade sensitivities, and better serve regional preferences. Currently in the Netherlands, Upton also outlined a five-year partnership with Mest Water, a Dutch wastewater treatment firm focused on ammonia reduction in livestock manure—a project supported by the Dutch government. Sprintex will supply compressors for this initiative. Looking ahead, Sprintex is set to exhibit at the Hannover International Trade Fair in Germany, where the company expects to attract significant attention for its clean air and vacuum solutions across industries like aquaculture, semiconductors, textiles, and agriculture.

Southern Cross Gold reveals Sunday Creek scale

Southern Cross Gold Consolidated CEO Michael Hudson talked with Proactive at the AIM's Small and Midcap Conference about the company’s focus on gold and antimony exploration in Victoria, Australia, particularly at the Sundae Creek project. Hudson outlined the scale and significance of the discovery, describing it as “one of the most exciting gold discoveries globally… a rare tier one multi-million ounce high grade discovery.” The company is advancing exploration rapidly, with six drill rigs currently operating and plans to expand to eight. Hudson said the company has completed around 70km of drilling and estimates an exploration target of 2.2 to 3.2 million ounces gold equivalent, grading between 8.5 to 10.6 grams per tonne – all within just 5% of the identified trend. Antimony also plays a key role. Hudson explained that China and Russia dominate the global market and recent export bans have highlighted supply vulnerabilities: “You don't have a defense industry without it. And the Western world really doesn't have it. We've got it.” Hudson also reflected on the company’s recent inclusion in the All Ordinaries Index, following the merger of Canadian and Australian entities. He said it marks the first index entry for Southern Cross Gold Consolidated and is “a reflection on a business that's less than three years old.” #SouthernCrossGold #SundayCreek #GoldExploration #Antimony #ASX #MiningStocks #JuniorMiners #ResourceInvesting #MichaelHudson #AllOrdinaries #GoldAndAntimony #AustralianMining

Cuscal FY25 update: profit grows on stable volumes

Cuscal Limited Managing Director Craig Kennedy talked with Proactive at AIM's Small and MIdcap conference about the company’s role in Australia's financial infrastructure and its recent financial performance for the first half of FY25. Kennedy explained that Cuscal is one of only five organisations in Australia with the full suite of licensing, infrastructure, and capabilities required to offer end-to-end payment services—alongside the four major banks. The company serves a range of clients including other banks, corporates, and fintechs, as well as working with NAB’s UBank division. Kennedy emphasised Cuscal’s position as a “neutral, independent” access point to payment infrastructure. On financial performance, Kennedy said Cuscal expects to “modestly exceed the forecast in the prospectus” issued at the time of its IPO in November. He noted that the business enjoys stable, predictable revenue and has completed significant investment in areas like real-time payments and operational upgrades. As a result, the company is beginning to see operational leverage. Kennedy stated: “Mid to high single digit volume growth will translate to low double digit profit growth.” He said H1 FY25 results showed 7% volume growth and between 12% to 13% profit growth. Reflecting on sector innovation, Kennedy described Cuscal as an "airport" enabling new players—like fintechs—to create and deliver new customer experiences on top of a stable infrastructure. He also said investors view the company as a “safe harbour,” appreciating its unique market position and stable growth outlook. #Cuscal #ASXStocks #FintechAustralia #PaymentsInfrastructure #CraigKennedy #InvestorUpdates #RealTimePayments #ASXConference #FinancialServices #BankingInnovation

SomnoMed lifts revenue 19% amid soaring demand

SomnoMed CO-CEOs Amrita Blickstead and Karen Borg talked with Proactive about the company’s performance and opportunities in the global sleep apnea treatment market. The company, which develops proprietary oral appliances for obstructive sleep apnea, is seeing significant demand as patients seek alternatives to traditional CPAP therapy. “About 60% of people fail to be able to use actual CPAP therapy because it’s quite invasive,” Borg explained. SomnoMed’s devices offer a less intrusive solution and are distributed through dental channels in 28 countries, with strong uptake in the United States and Western Europe. The co-CEOs discussed a major tailwind from the rising use of GLP-1 therapies for weight loss, which is pushing more patients to explore alternative sleep apnea treatments. Increased public awareness of sleep wellness through apps and consumer health trends is also fueling demand. To meet this growth, Blickstead said their immediate focus was on ensuring “the right foundation for profitable growth.” This included strengthening the company’s financial base, reducing costs, paying down debt, and investing heavily in manufacturing. Production capacity has increased by over 40%, with revenue up 19% year-on-year and EBITDA for the first half reaching AUD 5.80 million, compared to a AUD 1.10 million loss previously. Despite these gains, Blickstead noted they are still “chasing our tails and trying to make enough product to continue to grow this business.” #SomnoMed #SleepApnea #OralAppliance #HealthcareInnovation #CPAPAlternative #GLP1 #SleepTech #MedicalDevices #HealthInvesting #ProactiveInvestors
