TradeWindow announces cost reductions
TradeWindow (NZX:TWL) today outlined proposed cost reductions to reduce cash usage to a more
sustainable level. The proposed changes reflect a more conservative approach to its R&D
investments in a challenging funding market for early-stage technology companies. The
announcement is in line with TradeWindow’s announcement to the NZX on 27 February.
TradeWindow remains in discussions with potential strategic investors and is also exploring
alternative funding sources.
The company has today commenced consultation internally on a proposal to reduce 25 to 35 roles
(up to one-third of total roles). The potential changes predominantly relate to R&D roles and do not
impact TradeWindow’s ability to continue to serve all its current and future customers, meet market
demand and generate revenue from existing solutions.
TradeWindow CEO AJ Smith said: “We are focused on continuing to meet the needs of our existing
customers. Market demand for TradeWindow’s solutions remains high. We are confident in the future
of TradeWindow and continue to invest in a targeted and focused way.”
“This is a challenging time for the team at TradeWindow. We are supporting our team members
through this difficult time, particularly those impacted by these changes.”
Updated financial projections for FY24 and FY25 will be provided following the completion of the
consultation process, which is expected to be at approximately the end of March. FY23 guidance
remains in place as updated on 13 January 2023.
