X2M this morning said the cap raising strengthens its balance sheet as it positions itself as a provider of energy management systems and sensor monitoring technology for data centres and their surrounding precincts.
The company aims to help operators reduce energy costs by between 10% and 20%, targeting a market where Australian investment in data centre and connectivity infrastructure is projected to reach as much as $135 billion by CY35.
X2M’s AI-enabled platform is designed to connect devices across multiple manufacturers and communication networks, allowing operators to manage power generation, battery storage, cooling systems, environmental sensors, metering and connectivity through a single real-time platform.
The company said it intends to be involved from the design phase of data centre developments through construction and into long-term operations, generating ongoing platform and SAAS revenue.
The company entered FY27 with ~$3M in contracted revenue, including a recently announced $1.1M contract with the City of Seoul to supply a further 50,000 HelpMe devices.
Following the placement, X2M intends to launch a fully underwritten Securities Purchase Plan to raise a further $1 million on the same or similar terms, allowing existing shareholders to participate.
X2M is trading at $0.40/sh at lunchtime.
