Over the course of the year, we have improved cash flowmanagement, ensuring liquidity to support both ourongoing operations and investments in new projects.The prudent allocation of capital, combined with arigorous approach to cost control, has contributed toour improved equity position. Our debt levels remainwell within manageable limits, and we have optimizedour working capital cycle, which has allowed us tomaintain a strong cash position throughout the year.
In terms of profitability, our operational efficiencyand the successful execution of high-margin projectshave enabled us to deliver robust earnings. This solidfinancial performance underpins the confidence wehave in continuing to invest in high-potential areassuch as High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems

These advanced powertransmission technologies are critical for modernizingelectrical grids and enabling the integration ofrenewable energy sources, a core aspect of globalenergy strategies.
I am pleased to report that we have successfullyqualified for several large HVDC projects, positioningus as a key player in this high-potential market. Theglobal demand for HVDC systems is increasing asgovernments and utilities look to enhance the efficiencyand reliability of their electrical networks. Our expertisein power quality and the design of custom-engineeredequipment has allowed us to tap into this growingsector, and we are confident that our continued focuson HVDC will contribute to significant revenue growthin the coming years.
Additionally, our work in the FACTS domain has gainedsubstantial momentum. FACTS technologies, whichimprove the flexibility and stability of power systems,are increasingly in demand as utilities around the worldseek to upgrade their grids to manage higher levels ofrenewable energy integration. We have secured severalnew orders for FACTS-related equipment, which willnot only enhance our revenue streams but also furtherestablish Quality Power as a leader in advanced powermanagement solutions.
Our ability to qualify for these complex and technicallydemanding projects speaks volumes about the depthof our engineering capabilities and our commitment todelivering world-class solutions. As these opportunitiesgrow, we are well-positioned to benefit from increaseddemand for HVDC and FACTS solutions acrossmultiple geographies.
One of the key achievements in FY 2024-25 has beenour successful expansion into new markets. QualityPower has strategically entered regions where thedemand for advanced electrical solutions is on the rise,further diversifying our revenue base and minimizinggeographical risk.
This year, we made significant inroads into regions suchas Scandinavia, where we have been awarded ordersfor high-voltage equipment, including air core reactorsand transformers. These orders represent not just theimmediate financial benefit of new contracts but also along-term foothold in markets where grid modernizationand energy transition are top priorities. We have alsosecured new contracts in the Europe, Middle East andSouth East Asia where infrastructure developmentis booming, and the need for high-quality electricalequipment is critical.
