Edmonton, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - July 17, 2024) - Titan Logix Corp., (TSXV: TLA) ("Titan" or the "Company"), a technology company specializing in mobile liquid measurement solutions, announces its interim results for the three- and nine-month periods ended May 31, 2024.
"We are seeing sustained demand for the TD100 series products in the crude and used oil markets, and we expect to see similar demand in the upcoming quarter," says Nick Forbes, CEO at Titan. "We are also seeing traction with our market diversification strategy, having completed 2 successful pilot trials in the Refined Fuels market in the third quarter, and we expect to close an additional 4 pilots in the fourth quarter.
"The third quarter sales results were primarily driven by strong demand from the crude oil market segment. We are seeing a good mix of new construction and retrofits, where fleets are upgrading from legacy products to the TD100 and Finch II-W with Bluetooth capability. The balance of sales activity in the quarter came from the Used Oil segment and new market opportunities in Refined Fuels and Lubricants.
"In the third quarter we completed 2 pilot trials in the Refined Fuels market segment. In the fourth quarter we are expecting to close 4 additional pilot trials. Each pilot trial is expected to take 3-5 months, equipping 1-5 trucks with Titan TD100 system and Titan's Rack Control Module (RCM). We expect that upon successful completion of a pilot trial, a customer will spec the Titan TD100 system onto new fleet builds resulting in a recurring revenue stream in future years. Our objective is to successfully complete 20 pilot trials per year in the Refined Fuels market to achieve our revenue targets in our long-term strategic plan.
"Our investment strategy is to commit the necessary resources to penetrate new mobile liquid market segments, and the development of value-added products and software solutions to these market segments. The Company invests its non-operating cash reserves in conservative interest-bearing accounts and marketable securities. Acquisition opportunities are considered where it complements our growth strategy or enables the monetization of our connected strategy."
