Ottawa, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 30, 2025) - Enablence Technologies Inc.

Commenting on the Company's third quarter, fiscal year 2025 performance, CEO, Todd Haugen stated, "The macro-economic outlook has been disrupted by recent, short-term geo-political events that impacted supply chain operations of Enablence and the industry at large. Despite the challenges posed by these extraordinary events, I am pleased to report that we have been able to minimize the global impact of these events on our operational plan for the time-being and can report another strong quarter. Consequently, we remain committed to the lower end of the previously stated guidance in respect of our revenue target for Fiscal Year 2025."

"Our order book is strong, and we continue to grow revenue in our core datacom business which is strengthening in line with expectations," said Haugen. "In addition, we are gaining new market share and customers in artificial intelligence and advanced vision businesses, especially in the LiDAR space as evidenced by the recent Light IC announcement unveiling the first FMCW chip for LiDAR applications. In terms of our strategic growth plan, I can report that demand continues to be strong across all three businesses – optical communications, optical sensing, and optical compute."
