In the financial year, our existing businesses have demonstrated substantial growth, showcasing a 19% increase in revenue. We have also continued to deliver on our inorganic global strategy and achieve the goals we set at the time of our IPO [initial public offering].”

Regarding 2024, CTL expects revenue to be at least $200m and to achieve an EBITDA of at least $43m.
