(Alliance News) - Calnex Solutions PLC on Monday said it delivered against a challenging global macroeconomic backdrop, noting it traded "slightly ahead of market expectations."
Linlithgow, Scotland-based Calnex produces equipment for the telecommunications and cloud computing industries.

The Group expanded its global partner network, onboarded new North American partners and increased its focus on partner enablement to enhance sales coverage, particularly in higher growth markets."

We achieved double digit revenue growth and improved profitability, reflecting the successful diversification beyond our core telecoms heritage. We are seeing growing traction across cloud computing, datacentres, government and defence and are continuing with important development programmes to address these growth markets.
"With a strong balance sheet, expanding partner network, increasingly developed and diversified offering, and strengthened sales and marketing capability we are well positioned to build on this momentum and deliver sustainable growth in FY27 and beyond."
