Velocity Composites plc update on positive progress in the delivery of Velocity's first major contract (the Contract) with the company's US launch customer (the customer). In line with the company's original announcement on 20 December 2022, the contract is worth $20 million per annum in revenue over at least the next five years starting from 1 January 2024. Since completing the construction of the Company's new US-facility in Alabama in 2023, Velocity has been on-boarding the new business for the Contract.

This is a complex and lengthy process, including a detailed qualification procedure known as First Article Inspection (FAI). Following a key OEM approval by GE Aerospace, the company expects the FAI process to be fully complete for these four key programme blocks by the end of April 2024.
