Canatu announced on Tuesday that it has concluded the change negotiations of its Finnish subsidiary. The change negotiations covered the Operations function, the Robotics, Mobility and Defense unit, and the Medical Diagnostics unit. As a result of the negotiations, the company will lay off a maximum of 14 employees on production-related and financial grounds.
The decision was fully expected, as Canatu announced the initiation of the negotiations and the reduction of a maximum of 17 employment positions back in August in connection with the release of its H1 report and updated strategy. At the end of H1, the company had a total of 182 employees, meaning the reductions affect just under 10% of the personnel. With these measures, the company is adapting its operations to its new strategy and seeking operational efficiency amidst short-term revenue pressures. The news does not warrant any estimate changes, as we had already included the efficiency measures related to the strategy update in our forecasts. Our H1 update on Canatu can be read here.
