RE:RE:first impression Q1, hope? , maybe?The better the Q1 the worse the rest of the year. That is simply how it works. "The worse" in terms of financial results can be reversed through order backlog build-up though, so need to start seeing more contract announcements. As you pointed out, and as can be seen by dissecting the results, Q1 was great because of the implementation of the previous backlog, but if the order intake declined, that carries forward into the future results. You will not be hitting record quarters without increasing the rate of order intake. Simple math.
So, need to start catching up on sale wins...3-4 announced during this calendar year is not something to be proud of, especially with growth in sales stuff and engineering support.
Why the slowdown is a good question. You would have thought that the growing number of existing customers would now have had more experience with the installed products and given very low plant-coverage, accelerating deployment into others.
The wait continues, so nothing changes as a result of these quarterlies.
