Whether it’s soil and field analysis, planting, crop spraying, irrigation, or health assessment, Draganfly offers a suite of solutions tailored to meet the diverse needs of agricultural enterprises worldwide.

Addressing Industry Challenges with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)

The challenges facing the agriculture industry are multifaceted and complex, ranging from climate change to soil erosion and biodiversity loss. However, with the help of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), farmers and agronomists now have a powerful tool at their disposal to address these challenges head-on. Drones enable farmers to conduct surveys for pest and weed monitoring, vegetation mapping, irrigation, and soil erosion management, providing invaluable insights that empower data-driven decision-making.

Crafting Custom Solutions for Enterprise Partners

Draganfly understands that every agricultural operation is unique, with its own set of challenges and opportunities. That’s why they work closely with their enterprise partners to craft custom solutions tailored to their specific data needs.

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

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.

The Draganfly team is looking forward to continuing to build on those relationships, technologies, and innovations.” 

Q4 2020 and Q1 2021 milestones include the following:

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.
