Itaconix CEO John Shaw says revenue diversification initiatives are paying off

Proactive - Interviews for investors

Itaconix PLC CEO John Shaw takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company's half-year trading update and its strategic initiatives for the future. Shaw highlighted the company’s positive first half, with notable improvements in gross profit margins despite a decline in revenue. He explained, "We had $2.8 million in revenue versus $4 million in the first half of 2023," attributing this to strategic decisions made in March and April aimed at diversifying revenue and increasing profit margins. Shaw discussed the company's efforts to expand its revenue base, particularly in Europe, with new accounts in the dish detergent, sustainable leather, and mineral processing sectors. He also emphasized the importance of regulatory approvals in South Korea, China, Australia, and New Zealand, which will support global expansion. Moreover, Shaw introduced two new products: the Itaconix TSI 422, an advanced automatic dish detergent polymer, and TSI ONZ 405, a dry form of polymeric zinc itaconate for odor neutralization in laundry additives. Shaw said he remains optimistic about the company’s trajectory, maintaining a revenue target of $6 to $6.5 million and a gross profit margin of 36% for the year.
