Management report
In 2024, AS Airobot Technologies' total revenue amounted to €1,316,586 (2023: €1,523,663), representing a 13.6% decrease compared to 2023. The company recorded a loss of €248,916 for the year (2023: profit of €52,619).
The main reasons for the decline in sales revenue and operating loss were general economic uncertainty and reduced demand in the ventilation sector. Additionally, Airobot Technologies made strategic investments in expanding its product portfolio and preparing for international expansion, which temporarily increased costs.
In 2024, several resource-intensive development projects were carried out, resulting in the launch of the new Airobot V6 device, filling a crucial gap in the product range. The company also developed constant airflow technology for all existing devices and invested in additional innovation projects, which will be introduced in Q2 2025.
Furthermore, significant resources were allocated to expanding into foreign markets, including recruiting personnel and developing market entry strategies for the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Poland to ensure successful growth in 2025. In the final quarter of 2024, Airobot also initiated a brand renewal and modernization project, the results of which will be realized in Q1 2025.
Although these investments had a short-term impact on financial results, they are strategically essential for the company's long-term growth and market position.
Airobot Technologies does not foresee any significant environmental or social impacts from its business activities. The company's devices are energy-efficient, and their longevity helps reduce the ecological footprint. The ventilation equipment market is not seasonal but rather dependent on the overall economic environment and real estate development activity. In recent years, the market has been affected by a general downward trend.
Airobot actively continued development activities in 2024, leading to the introduction of new ventilation solutions, including Airobot V6 and the updated constant airflow technology. In 2025, further development efforts will continue, enhancing product efficiency.
Foreign exchange and interest rate risks do not have a significant impact on Airobot Technologies’ business, as most operations take place within the Eurozone, and the company has no major loan obligations.
Plans for the First Half of 2025
The first half of the year will focus on certification processes in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, which are critical for the company's further international expansion. Additionally, Airobot will participate in several international trade fairs to strengthen its visibility and market position in key target regions.
The company will also launch a new website, along with an updated brand and marketing strategy, primarily targeting the UK, Dutch, and Polish markets. At the same time, Airobot will continue to actively seek new strategic partners and provide training to ensure high-quality product installation and support in these markets.
We expect export sales to grow significantly in 2025. The company will also continue its aggressive expansion into new export markets and deepen relationships with existing contacts from 2023, focusing on repeat sales in 14 export countries.
We will continue the development projects initiated in 2024, gradually bringing several innovations to market.
