Tønsberg, 30 April 2025 – poLight ASA (OSE: PLT) today announced its results for Q1 2025.
“Revenue in the first quarter of 2025 was up on both the previous quarter and the same quarter last year. We maintained a high level of market activity, engaging in multiple customer projects and participating at CES 2025 and SPIE AR/MR. Both the AR/MR and Industrial market segments have shown positive development. Strategically, the AR/MR market is one of the most important, as this emerging market will have many use cases where our TLens® and TWedge® technology platforms could solve various pain points for smart-glasses, MR headsets and future advanced AR glasses. We have a lot of opportunities ahead of us, and the recently announced Investment Agreement with Q Tech will be an important enabler to secure future success in all market segments.“ explains Dr Øyvind Isaksen, CEO of poLight.
