Outlook

Sales opportunities for the modular data centre division for the rest of the financial year remain strong as we continue to focus on our key market segments of Subsea Cables, Resources, Telecommunications, Satellite and Edge data centres across the APAC region.
During the final quarter of FY22, DXN plans to soft-launch the DXN Cloud product into our data centre portfolio. A pilot customer program is currently underway to ensure a smooth introduction.
Taking into consideration the new modular manufacturing contracts already signed and data centre revenue expected in FY22, DXN is on track to outperform the previous year's revenue.
