WICHITA, Kan., Nov. 14, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE American: UAVS) (“AgEagle” or the “Company”), an industry-leading provider of full stack flight hardware, sensors and software for commercial and government use, today announces its financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Third Quarter 2023 Financial Highlights
- Revenues totaled $3.48 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, decreasing 37% from $5.49 million reported for the same three-month period in the prior year. Nine-month revenues totaled $10.81 million in 2023, which were down 26% from $14.62 million for the first nine months of 2022.
- The decrease in revenues was largely due to lower sales of the Company’s eBee™ series of drones – a decline that was expected in conjunction with the commercial launch of AgEagle’s new eBee VISION in September 2023.
- Total operating expenses increased minimally to $7.20 million from $7.23 million for the three-month reporting periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. They were reduced by 28% to $19.24 million from $24.01 million for the comparable nine-month reporting periods.
- Loss from operations increased 14% to $5.99 million from $5.15 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively; and were reduced 17% to $15.02 million from $18.02 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
- As of June 30, 2023, AgEagle’s cash position was $1.6 million, which compared to cash of $4.35 million as of December 31, 2022.
For more detailed information relating to the Company’s second quarter financial performance, please refer to the Interim Report on Form 10-Q filed yesterday afternoon with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and accessible at www.sec.gov or on AgEagle’s website at www.ageagle.com.
Third Quarter 2023 Operational Highlights
- The Company announced that DeltaQuad, a global leader in the development, design and production of electrical, long range Vertical Take-Off and Landing (“VTOL”) drones, is the first to fully integrate AgEagle’s latest sensor innovation, the RedEdge-P ™ dual, in its new DeltaQuad EVO.
- Commercial production of the Company’s next generation fixed-wing unmanned aerial system, the eBee ™ VISION commenced and orders for the systems are now being accepted.
- Kelluu Ltd., a privately-owned Finnish company engaged in the design, manufacture and operation of autonomous airships for aerial environmental and critical infrastructure monitoring and surveillance announced it has chosen to equip its growing fleet of unmanned airships with AgEagle’s high performance RedEdge-P™ multispectral cameras for collection of high-quality images and sensor data.
- AgEagle completed an offering of 16,720,000 shares of common stock and 25,080,000 common stock purchase warrants (the "common warrant") to purchase 25,080,000 shares of common stock at a combined price of $0.25 per share and accompanying common warrants for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4.2 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses.
Barrett Mooney, AgEagle’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “We enter the fourth quarter of 2023 optimistic about the Company’s long-term growth potential following the commercial release of our new eBee VISION drone. Given the rise in geopolitical conflicts and correlating increase in drone usage, we believe that AgEagle is well-positioned to support the increasing demand while remaining committed to achieving cost and productivity efficiencies and executing ongoing product innovation and our global marketing strategies.”
