Management Commentary
Cemtrex’s Chairman and CEO, Saagar Govil, commented on the results: “The fourth quarter of 2021 continued the positive trend across our segments, with revenue for the quarter improving 37% from the fourth quarter of 2020 and 42% sequentially from the third quarter of 2021. For the year, revenues decreased slightly as we saw an improving business climate and a return to normalcy despite the ongoing pandemic uncertainty. During 2021, we remained focused on our top line growth with investments in sales and marketing program and ongoing research and development.
“Our Vicon brand continued to improve its video surveillance solutions for commercial, industrial, and government applications, with new releases this year including a NDAA compliant state-of-the-art camera line, a new high end sever line, and a 360-degree multisensor camera and thermal kiosk camera. Vicon will be launching a proprietary AI based analytics solution later this year as well as major improvements to its core software platform Valerus.
“During the quarter we saw an increase in sales for our SmartDesk and IoT products, mostly as a result of the release of the improved SmartDesk Connect product that allows users to use their own laptop instead of a built-in PC. Supply chain and delivery issues over the first half of the year continue to improve, and we are now ramping up our sales and marketing efforts.
“The addition of the Virtual Driver Interactive product line also drove revenues in the fourth quarter, with its comprehensive training for new teen and novice drivers, along with advanced training for corporate fleets and truck drivers.
“We strengthened our board of directors with the addition of three talented individuals and respected technology experts to expand the breadth and depth of our reach as a Company. We also completed a two year audit which gives us confidence in our financial results going forward and we’re pleased to put the restatement behind us now.
“Looking ahead, we are continuing to develop new solutions utilizing our Advanced Technologies Segment’s proprietary technology, including Virtual Reality, SmartDesk, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) based, next generation technology associated with security and surveillance systems software. Our VR investments are especially timely with the recent focus on the Metaverse and its opportunities as this technology matures. Our CXR, Virtual Driver Interactive, and Bravo Strong brands are well positioned in the AR/VR space to capitalize on this revolutionary transition.”
“Upcoming exciting new products and solutions over the next year will drive our development roadmap of next generation high tech products in IoT, AR & VR, as well as in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Vision for security applications. We remain positive are well positioned for long-term growth and remain optimistic that our revenue will continue to trend upward,” concluded Govil.
