Carbon Revolution CEO, Jake Dingle, said revenue was up up 56% year-on-year to US$11.3 million1.

Increase in awarded programs

“In less than a year, we have increased our awarded programs to 182 with six global OEMs. We continue to make strong progress on our expansion, including commissioning of the first phase of the Mega-line, along with record production of wheels. Importantly, we have also raised significant capital to fund our growth and execute on our vision to be the global leader in lightweight wheels,” Mr Dingle said.

“We are incredibly excited about the opportunity ahead and remain focused on achieving profitable growth in the future, which we believe will be achieved through the automation of our production and driving greater fixed cost leverage as volumes ramp.

“Looking forward, we expect robust growth to continue in the fiscal second quarter. At the midpoint of our outlook, we expect revenue to increase more than 25% sequentially and nearly triple year-over-year,” he said.



Fiscal second quarter 2024 outlook

Based on current business conditions, business trends and other factors, the Company is providing an outlook for the fiscal second quarter ending December 31, 2023. The Company expects revenue to be in the range of US$14.0 million to US$14.5 million.

Backlog

The Company’s backlog has more than doubled since October 2022 to $730 million3. The increase in backlog primarily reflects new program awards, with almost 50% of the backlog for EVs.

DIENES at Techtextil 2026: Flexible pilot lines for bio-based fiber development

The growing relevance of bio-based materials in technical textiles is accompanied by increasing demands for reproducibility, high-quality data, and scalable process routes. Especially when working with cellulose and its derivatives, chitosan, lignin-based approaches, or bio-based PAN as a carbon-fiber precursor, R&D teams face variable feedstock quality, tighter process windows, and the need for reliable comparability across trials. This calls for flexible, data-driven experimental setups that can be reconfigured efficiently when recipes, solvents, and raw-material batches change.
