VivoPower International’s strategy is to provide sustainable energy solutions on an international scale. Key activities at present are electric vehicles, critical power, sustainable energy solutions and solar development.

Sales declined 11% to $18.9m in H122 and operating losses widened to $7.3m (H121: $0.4m) due to COVID-19-related delays particularly in the Critical Power division where Australia remained in lockdown while other divisions such as Electric Vehicles remain in investment mode. With the opening up of Australia, performance should improve through H2 and we await news regarding financing the crypto mining venture, completion of Tembo acquisition and the Toyota development contract.
