A quick take on CleanSpace

CleanSpace designs, manufactures and sells workplace respiratory protection equipment (RPE) for healthcare and industrial end markets.

PAPRs are specialised respirators that come equipped with blowers, filters, respirator hood or face-pieces, and breathing tube assemblies. CleanSpace's PAPRs operate in two markets, healthcare and industrial.

How is CleanSpace performing?

In today's release, CleanSpace advised demand is continuing to outperform previous forecasts. Given the strong trading conditions, the company is now projecting revenue in the range of $39 million to $41 million. The upgraded guidance for the period ending 31 December, reflects an increase on the $34 million to $36 million originally announced on 12 November.

CleanSpace noted that its product and regional sales mix is tracking along similar to last month's trading update. Healthcare and industrial is reported to be at a 77% and 23% split, respectively.

Group profit margin is predicted to be between 77% to 79%, with earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) around the $17 million to $19 million mark.

Consumable sales are sitting at 47% of total sales, which is at the same level recorded last year.

In addition to the financial figures, the company highlighted that its new facility in St Leonards is now operational. Production capacity is running at 7,000 units pm which equates to $100 million per year for CleanSpace.

Cleanspace noted, however, that as the world approaches a vaccine roll-out for COVID-19, its current business environment remains uncertain.

In light of this, it did not provide a guidance for the second-half of the 2021 financial year.
