VIDEO – Draganfly Selected As Exclusive Drone Manufacturer To Address “Last Inch” Package Logistics, Initial Order $400K

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:36 PM on Wednesday, September 22nd, 2021

Most of us know drones for their recreational uses or perhaps even as simple commercial applications for things like real estate videos.  

But the fact of the matter is that drone usage is about to go parabolic with huge corporations adopting them for a wide-use of applications that most never dreamed of such as: 

  • To provide Internet connections in remote locations. 
  • To collect crowd data.
  • And now package delivery

According to the Drone Package Delivery Global Market Report 2021, the global drone package delivery market is expected to grow to nearly US$1 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 45.5%. In 2025, the market is expected to reach US$4.4 billion at a CAGR of 45.1%.

In short, the drone industry is booming in ways people can’t imagine because the industry is shifting from the drones themselves (hardware) to drone technology and solutions (software)… and the one company that is delivering the most challenging applications is Draganfly Inc. (DPRO: NASDAQ) (DPRO: CSE)

DraganFly is an award-winning drone manufacturer and technology developer that is actually delivering some pretty incredible achievements, milestones and even history:

  • Established in 1998 DFLY is considered the oldest commercial drone company in the world
  • Built the first drone that saved a life
  • Boasts the first drone to be inducted into the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum
  • Developing a Vaccine Drone Delivery Payload System (it’s way more complicated than just transporting vaccines)
  • Detect infectious conditions in a person from a distance of 190 feet
  • Conduct phenotyping, data collection and analysis by the USDA

  • Royal Canadian Mounted Police, 
  • Illinois State Police,
  • Shell
  • Dow 

If you want ultra-cool consider that DFLY’s Vital Intelligence technology was selected for implementation by Knightscope, a leader in a leader in autonomous robot security capabilities.  

All of this has translated into financial success with 2020 Revenue hitting $4.36M up 216% … and Q2-21 revenue of just under $2M up 114% vs Q2-20.

With all of this under the Company’s belt, it’s easy to see why the company recently uplisted to the NASDAQ.

Draganfly $DFLY.ca $DFLYF Announces Record Revenue in Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2020 Financial Results $FLT.ca $UAVS $ALPP

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:58 AM on Monday, April 19th, 2021
  • Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020, increased by 216.1% to $4.36 million, compared to $1.38 million in 2019

Vancouver, BC., April 19, 2021 — Draganfly Inc. (OTCQB: DFLYF) (CSE: DFLY) (FSE: 3U8) (“ Draganfly ” or the “ Company ”), an award-winning, industry-leading manufacturer and systems developer, is pleased to announce its fourth quarter and fiscal 2020 financial results. Revenue growth for the fourth quarter and the year was driven by a combination of organic growth, the acquisition of Dronelogics Systems Inc. (“ Dronelogics ”), and sales from COVID-19 screening products.

The financial year 2020 was another milestone year for Draganfly. The Company successfully closed and integrated its Dronelogics acquisition which, as planned, became the driver of the bulk of Draganfly new product revenue sales. The Company’s main custom engineering customer effectively shut down this portion of its business in Q1 2020 primarily due to COVID-19; however, services revenues were successfully offset by other drone services work. 2020 revenues were up 216% year over year coming in at $4,363,511 versus $1,380,427 in the previous year. $645,756 represents custom engineering services work, $630,532 represents drone services work and the balance of revenue was from its hardware sales.

The Company recently added health monitoring and prevention to its product and service offering. Securing some key clients in this business line was key to proving out this new vertical. These clients were important for validation of this new technology, but more importantly, it demonstrated the Company’s ability to evolve and offer products and services that have global applicability.

Financial Highlights – 2020:

● Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020, increased by 216.1% to $4.36 million, compared to $1.38 million in 2019.

● As a result of increased product sales and service revenue, the Company’s gross profit increased by $597,973, or 51.5%. As a percentage of sales, gross margin ( 1) decreased from 84.1% in 2019 to 40.3% in 2020. This shift in gross margin is due to a higher percentage of hardware sales.

● The Company recorded a comprehensive loss of $8,015,709 compared to a comprehensive loss of $11,095,057 in 2019. The decreased loss was largely the result of the lack of listing expense resulting from the 2019 amalgamation and the funds received from the disposition of an investment that had been previously written off.

● The Company’s cash balance on December 31, 2020, was $1.98 million compared to $2.43 million on December 31, 2019.

Financial Highlights – Fourth Quarter 2020: 

● Revenue for Q4 2020, increased by 202.3% to $1.49 million, compared to $492 thousand for Q4 2019. The substantial increase in revenue is largely due to the Company’s acquisition of Dronelogics and the retail sales and services business that the acquisition brought partially offset by a decrease in custom engineering services due to the downturn caused by COVID-19. 

● Gross margin percentage for Q4 2020 was 22.2% compared to 91.4% in Q4 2019. The decrease is due to the sales mix as product sales tend to have a much lower margin than those of custom engineering services. 

●Total comprehensive loss for the Q4 2020, was $3.74 million compared to $2.03 million for the same period in 2019. The increase was due to higher office and miscellaneous expenses.

Note 1: this press release refers to “gross margin” which does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by generally accepted accounting principles in Canada (” GAAP “). Gross margin is defined as gross profit divided by revenue and is often presented as a percent. Draganfly’s management believes that gross margin and other non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors as it provides them with ‎supplemental measures of the Company’s operating performance and liquidity and thus highlights trends in the Company’s ‎business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on GAAP measures. Management also uses non-GAAP measures and ‎metrics in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare ‎annual operating budgets and forecasts and to determine components of executive compensation. For more information with respect to financial measures which have not been defined by GAAP, including reconciliations to the closest comparable GAAP measure, see the “Non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures”‎ section of the Company’s most recent MD&A which is available on SEDAR.

Datametrex AI Limited has the rare benefit that most small cap companies would only dream of …. 2 successful independent divisions that are each capable of being a company maker.  

The first division is their Artificial Intelligence driven social media monitoring and discovery product … and this isn’t some basic social media monitoring tool for keywords. Clients include Canadian Federal Government, DRDC, Health Canada, United States Air Force and LOTTE (a $2.6B South Korean multinational conglomerate.

The company announced that it has entered into an LOI to acquire 100% of Perspectum Drone Inspection Services Ltd. an arm’s length privately held artificial intelligence drone imaging predictive analytic services company.

Perspectum is a drone based imaging predictive analytics artificial intelligence (AI) services company, currently focusing on environmental and safety predictive analysis. Datametrex intends to expand the Perspectum platform into the Company’s core Cybersecurity business by integrating the Company’s AI with Perspectum.

“The impact of the acquisition of this AI business cannot be minimized. The demand for imaging predictive analytic reporting continues to be a large area of growth. As businesses and countries continue to work towards zero emissions and carbon neutral footprints, we believe that adding this imaging predictive AI element to our existing cybersecurity business will drive significant value for our stakeholders.”, said Marshall Gunter, Datametrex’s Chief Executive Officer.

As a result of the highest level security clearances required to do this level of work, Datametrex was well positioned with deep roots in South Korea to add their second, though unintended division of COVID-19 test kit distribution.  Again, this isn’t some small cap stretch trying to capitalize on a trend for the sake of stock promotion. Rather, when the Canadian Government came calling for assistance in importing and distributing COVID-19 test kits, Datametrex stepped up to the task thanks to its security clearances already in place in both countries.

Since then, the company has signed multiple multi-million dollar COVID-19 test kit supply agreements with mining companies, a $20M CAD agreement with the television and film industry and various educational institutions.  

Sit back, relax and watch this powerful interview with Datametrex CEO Marshall Gunter.
