Itaconix CEO on 2025 strategy and profitability goals

Itaconix PLC (AIM:ITX, OTCQB:ITXXF) CEO John Shaw joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company’s progress following its strategic restructuring and to discuss what lies ahead for 2025. Shaw highlighted that the company ended 2024 with strong momentum, achieving nearly $3.7 million in revenue in the second half, marking one of its highest-ever earnings periods. The restructuring initiative focused on enhancing profitability, with a significant emphasis on reshaping the customer base. Shaw noted, “We actually increased our gross profit margin from about 31% to almost 35% last year.” Despite experiencing lower revenue in some areas, the company was able to maintain steady gross profits due to its emphasis on margin improvement. Shaw also discussed significant product developments, including the launch of Itaconix TSI 422, a new detergent ingredient that is gaining traction in North America and Europe. He further explained how the SPARX program, introduced in October, is helping accelerate customer collaboration in key product categories, positioning the company for continued growth. In addition to product development, the company has made strategic investments in its operations, marketing, and regulatory capabilities to support its growth trajectory. Shaw expressed confidence in the company’s production team and infrastructure, stating, “We really have everything in place we need right now to have a great run over the next 24 months.” While tariffs remain a consideration, Shaw believes any impacts will be manageable, and in some cases, could even be beneficial to the company. #proactiveinvestors #itaconixplc #aim #itx #otcqb #itxxf #SustainableChemicals #CleanTech #TSI422 #SPARXProgram #SpecialtyChemicals #JohnShaw #InvestorUpdates #ProactiveInvestors #GreenChemistry #DetergentInnovation #GrossProfitMargins #RestructuringSuccess

Nextech3D.ai disrupts industry with launch of AI-powered Ecommerce content studio

Nextech3D.ai CEO Evan Gappelberg joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the launch of a new AI-powered feature as part of the company’s Ecommerce AI Studio. The platform utilizes generative AI to create photorealistic lifestyle images and videos of products—such as apparel, accessories, and furniture—being worn, held, or displayed in realistic settings, eliminating the need for traditional photography. Gappelberg highlighted that ToggleStudios, Nextech3D.ai’s AI-driven content creation tool, is designed to help online retailers generate lifestyle content at scale. The platform reduces reliance on costly and time-consuming physical photoshoots, enabling faster content production, lower operating costs, and increased visual output. The new feature will allow users to generate AI-rendered images of apparel on virtual models with varied backgrounds and appearances. Additionally, retailers can visualize accessories, electronics, and other items in realistic usage scenarios, enhancing product presentation for e-commerce. Another major upgrade is the automated generation of product videos and interactive 3D visuals. Using advanced AI, the system simulates lighting, texture, and perspective, ensuring high-quality imagery that closely replicates traditional photography—but in less time and at a lower cost. #nextech3d.al #otcqx #nexcf #cse #ntar #EvanGappelberg #AmazonSellerCentral #3DModeling #AIPhotography #EcommerceInnovation #3DTechnology #LifestylePhotography #ProactiveInterviews #TechInnovation #AmazonPartners#proactiveinvestors #nextech3d.al

Time Finance CEO on Q3 update: record lending & growth to resilient small businesses

Time Finance PLC (AIM:TIME) CEO Ed Rimmer takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company’s performance in the third quarter, highlighting a record gross lending book and improved arrears management. Rimmer explained that Time Finance provides funding solutions to small businesses, including invoice finance, asset finance, and secured loans, typically supporting businesses with turnover up to £10 million. He said, “We help businesses grow, but we also help businesses to survive as well.” The company’s lending book reached a record £210 million at the end of February, with arrears falling to 5% from 6% a year earlier. Rimmer noted this progress came despite challenging market conditions and was achieved without compromising credit quality. Margins have also increased, with profit margins now at 40%. This was attributed to tight cost control and improved efficiency, including leveraging technology and streamlining internal processes. Time Finance has not increased its headcount significantly post-COVID, which has helped support margin growth. Rimmer also addressed the broader economic environment, pointing to interest rate pressures, inflation, and increased insolvencies, but emphasised that small businesses remain resilient. The company sees opportunity as traditional banks become more risk-averse, creating space for independent lenders. Visit Proactive’s YouTube channel for more interviews like this.

Proactive - Interviews for investors

High-grade gold boost for Strickland Metals

Strickland Metals Ltd managing director Paul L’Herpiniere talked with Proactive about a significant upgrade to the company’s resource at its Rogozna project in Serbia. The latest resource update follows 20,000 metres of drilling in 2023, which delivered an increase of two million ounces gold equivalent. “I can't think of many projects on the planet that you can get this sort of growth for $3 an ounce,” L’Herpiniere said. He highlighted the success of targeted drilling at the Shanac deposit, where only 10 holes were drilled, resulting in a strong uplift in contained metals – including a 17% increase in gold and 38% in copper. Importantly, the drilling delineated high-grade mineralisation zones, which L’Herpiniere said will be the focus of upcoming mining studies. Strickland has now commenced a 50,000 metre drill program, with 30,000 metres allocated to resource drilling at Shanac and Gradina. Gradina, described as the most gold-rich of the four deposits, is expected to deliver a maiden resource later in 2025. The remaining 20,000 metres will target major exploration prospects, including Jezerska Reka and Obradov Potok. With approximately A$30 million in cash and strong geological potential, L’Herpiniere said the company is well positioned for further growth.
