AgEagle Announces Third Quarter 2023 Results

Source: GlobeNewswire Inc.

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.”

AgEagle to Provide Secure Drones Using SEALSQ Certified Secure Element for Defense and Public Safety Applications

Source: GlobeNewswire Inc.

AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE: UAVS) a leading provider of full stack drone, sensors and software solutions for customers worldwide in the commercial and government verticals, and SEALSQ Corp (Nasdaq: LAES) (“SEALSQ”) a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced their partnership to provide secure surveillance drones for public safety, government and defense applications.
In September 2023, AgEagle launched the eBee VISION, a cyber secure Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) designed for Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions. The eBee VISION embeds a SEALSQ Secure Element which is NIST FIPS140-2 Level 3 compliant and Common Criteria EAL5+ certified. Each chip is personalized with a unique Trusted Identity. This setup protects the drone from any takeover attempt, enables the drone to encrypt all data, protects the integrity of the embedded software, and provides a unique identity to the drone for GCS pairing and strong authentication.

These robust cybersecurity features, added to its unique operational capabilities, make the eBee VISION perfectly suitable to conduct public safety and defense applications. Indeed, the eBee VISION UAS is part of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)’s Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) project to develop a customized command and control software that is compatible and fully compliant with the DoD Robotic and Autonomous System-Air Interoperability Profile (RAS-A IOP), within the scope of the Blue UAS program.

The global commercial drone market is projected to reach the size of around $38 billion in 2027 and the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.9 percent between 2022 and 2027 according to Statista. Key sectors such as public safety, security, defense, and inspection are at the forefront of this growth, most of them demanding robust privacy, encryption and security features.

eBee VISION delivers high-resolution video imagery made possible by its 32x zoom and powerful thermal observation capabilities, providing real-time situational awareness. Weighing only 3.5 pounds, the NDAA-compliant fixed-wing features live HD video feed, up to 90 minutes of flight time, and wireless coverage of up to 12 miles. eBee VISION can be deployed in just three minutes by a single operator and is controlled with a Ground Control System (GCS) developed with feedback from U.S. and European special forces to meet defense and public safety requirements.

“With an established track record in supplying leaders of the Commercial Drone Industry, SEALSQ is perfectly positioned to support manufacturers build cybersecure UAVs and achieve fast and cost-effective compliance with the most rigorous agencies standards,” said Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ.

AgEagle CEO, Barrett Mooney, added, “With the launch of our latest drone technology, the eBee VISION, we are dedicated to ensuring it integrates a certified secure element—a critical feature for safeguarding the data managed by our valued partners in public safety, government, and defense. Our partnership with industry leader SEALSQ underscores our commitment to protecting privacy and security.”

SEALSQ focuses on selling integrated solutions based on Semiconductors, PKI and Provisioning services, while developing Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products. Our solutions can be used in a variety of applications, from Multi-Factor Authentication tokens, Smart Energy, Smart Home Appliances, and IT Network Infrastructure, to Automotive, Industrial Automation and Control Systems.

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) refers to cryptographic methods that are secure against an attack by a quantum computer. As quantum computers become more powerful, they may be able to break many of the cryptographic methods that are currently used to protect sensitive information, such as RSA and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). PQC aims to develop new cryptographic methods that are secure against quantum attacks.

Amazon’s drone delivery unit hit with layoffs just as 10-year-old project finally launches
Published Fri, Jan 20 202312:32 PM EST

(Hope hurts)

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/20/amazon-drone-unit-hit-with-layoffs-as-long-awaited-program-launches.html

Points

As part of Amazon’s widespread layoffs, some employees in the nascent drone delivery project are losing their jobs, according to people familiar with the matter.
Prime Air was a pet project of founder Jeff Bezos, who revealed Amazon’s plans in a 2013 interview with “60 Minutes.”
The program, which has struggled to get off the ground due to a series of crashes and other safety concerns, now faces internal cost-cutting measures.

[Sesh]

Wasn’t there a rumor last year they had a deal with Amazon?
Now they’re the only FAA approved drones to fly over people’s heads…at the same time Amazon launches its pilot program in TX and CA.
Could it be?

AgEagle Announces Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results
August 16 2022 - 08:30AM

Share On Facebook

AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE American: UAVS) (“AgEagle” or the “Company”), an industry-leading provider of full-stack drone, sensor and software solutions for commercial and government/defense use, today announced its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
Financial Highlights for the Comparable Three-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021

Revenues increased 173% to $5.29 million from $1.94 million.
As a result of the senseFly acquisition, which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company recorded incremental revenue for the eBee™ fixed wing drones of $3.04 million that were not included in the prior year financials
Continued strong demand for the Company’s new Altum-PT™ and RedEdge-P™ multispectral sensors, which were introduced to the market in the fall of 2021, resulted in a 23% jump in sales revenues of sensors to $2.10 million from $1.71 million.
The notable increase in total revenues was offset by the decline of software subscription sales for AgEagle’s HempOverview and Ground Control solutions, which decreased to $158,000 from $229,000.
The Company’s loss from operations totaled $5.39 million compared to $4.82 million. The increase was primarily attributable to a decrease in gross profit margins due to supply chain constraints and higher operating costs as a result of inclusion of a full quarter’s expenses for the 2021 business acquisitions, offset by the absence of transactional costs incurred for these acquisitions.
After factoring net non-cash expenses and income including cumulative foreign currency translations adjustments, total comprehensive net loss rose to $5.47 million, or $0.07 loss per share, compared to $4.68 million, or $0.07 loss per share.
Financial Highlights for the Comparable Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021

Six-month revenues totaled $9.13 million, up 151% from $3.64 million.
As a result of the senseFly acquisition, which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company recorded incremental revenue for the eBee™ fixed wing drones of $5.76 million that were not included in the prior year financials
Sensor sales were $3.03 million compared to $3.39 million. The decrease was attributable to supply chain issues affecting delivery of Altum-PT and RedEdge-P sensors in the first and second quarters of this year. As of June 30, 2022, the order backlog for these sensors stood at approximately $1 million, which is included in contract liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. We continue to ship orders to clear a large portion of our backlog while continuing to expand our sales pipeline due to on-going demand for our sensors.
Software subscription sales climbed 30% to $328,000 from $253,000, primarily resulting from the increased sales in the first quarter of 2022.
Due to higher general and administrative, R&D and sales and marketing expenses associated with execution of AgEagle’s acquisition strategy in 2021, loss from operations increased to $12.87 million from $7.78 million.
The comprehensive net loss totaled $13.04 million, or $0.17 loss per share, compared to a comprehensive net loss of $7.61 million, or $0.12 loss per share, for the comparable years’ six-month reporting periods.
As of June 30, 2022, AgEagle’s cash position was $13.51 million and its total stockholders’ equity was $83.60 million. This compared to cash of $14.59 million and stockholders’ equity of $76.58 million as of December 31, 2021.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company raised net proceeds of $4.58 million through its At-The-Market Offering with co-agents Stifel Nicholas & Company and Raymond James & Associates. In addition, AgEagle completed a registered direct offering with an existing institutional shareholder, raising an additional $9.92 million in net proceeds.
For more detailed information on the Company’s financial performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, please refer to the 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and accessible online via www.sec.gov or on AgEagle’s website at https://ageagle.com/investors/#investors-sec.

Nicole Fernandez-McGovern, AgEagle Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Operations, stated, “We are very pleased with our financial results for the first half of 2022, reflecting strong revenue growth from our combined 2021 acquisition activities and organic growth initiatives. Robust demand for our autonomous robotics solutions, along with key business improvements implemented this year, are contributing to our efficient management of ubiquitous inflationary pressure, supply chain constraints and other macroeconomic headwinds. We continue to be thoughtful and purposeful about how we are growing our business, while simultaneously managing our investments to capture long-term value for our shareholders.”

Barrett Mooney, Chairman and CEO of AgEagle, added, “We posted another solid quarter for Q2, building on our momentum from the start of the year. Looking forward, we expect another strong quarter in Q3, wherein we remain focused on clearing backlog for our sensors, pursuing large sales opportunities for our eBees and sensors and pressing hard on our new innovations program with a goal of introducing next generation products to market later this year. We remain committed to our goal of becoming cash flow breakeven, while continuing to prudently invest in our products and capabilities to drive profitable growth opportunities on a global scale. ”

Second Quarter 2022 Corporate Update Webcast

This afternoon beginning at 4:30 pm Eastern Time, AgEagle’s leadership will host a corporate update webcast that will be broadcast live and available for replay on https://www.webcaster4.com/Webcast/Page/2160/46258.

AgEagle Reports Strong Government Demand for Blue UAS Approved eBee TAC™ UAS System
May 03 2022 - 08:30AM


AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE American: UAVS) (“AgEagle” or the “Company”), a leading provider of a unified line of industry trusted drones, sensors and software, announced that demand for its NDAA-compliant, award-winning eBee TAC™ Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) has been increasing with shipments to and training of U.S. and NATO forces in the United States and Europe currently underway.

The eBee TAC was the first approved drone to be added to the Department of Defense’s Defense Innovation Unit’s Blue UAS Cleared List as part of the Blue sUAS 2.0 project. Since the announcement in March 2022, demand for the eBee TAC has been climbing. senseFly, an AgEagle company and pioneer of the proprietary eBee line of fixed wing drones, along with its partners, have been actively demonstrating the eBee TAC’s powerful capabilities at recent industry trade shows and special events, amplifying awareness of the eBee TAC and fueling dynamic growth of government sales.

eBee TAC is available for purchase by U.S. government agencies and all branches of the military on GSA Schedule Contract #47QTCA18D003G, supplied by Hexagon US Federal and partner Tough Stump Technologies as a standalone solution or as part of the Aerial Reconnaissance Tactical Edge Mapping Imagery System (ARTEMIS). Tough Stump is currently actively training military ground forces based in the U.S. and in Central Europe on the use of eBee TAC for mid-range tactical mapping and reconnaissance missions.

According to Tough Stump CEO Jarrett Heavenston, “With 133 eBees now in active service and dozens more scheduled to be deployed in coming months, real world applications of the eBee-enabled ARTEMIS platform are providing military ground forces with vital, high resolution geographical intelligence right at the tactical edge. As a result, demand for eBee TAC drones and the ARTEMIS platform is gaining notable momentum and should result in accelerating sales to both U.S. and NATO forces as we advance through the year.”

Last week, the eBee TAC was showcased at the Association for Uncrewed Vehicles Systems International (AUVSI) annual XPONENTIAL conference in Orlando, Florida. In addition to the eBee TAC receiving an XCELLENCE in Technology award in the Hardware and Systems Design category, AgEagle representatives hosted numerous meetings and product discussions with key officials from several U.S. government agencies, including the U.S. Department of Defense, Defense Innovation Unit and U.S. Department of Homeland Security, among others. The eBee TAC also took centerstage at the USGIF GEOINT Symposium 2022, held in Aurora, Colorado last week, as part of a featured presentation by Director of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, Vice Admiral Robert D. Sharp.

Barrett Mooney, Chairman and CEO of AgEagle, stated, “Participation in industry events such as AUVSI and GEOINT are fueling notable sales interest in the eBee TAC, as well as AgEagle’s full line of industry leading drones, sensors and software solutions for both commercial and government use. Moreover, our in-market growth drivers continue to perform well across geographies worldwide. Looking ahead, we intend to remain focused on converting leads into customers and on continued investing in innovation to meet the needs of our expanding global customer base spanning a broad range of industries. All things considered, 2022 could prove to be a watershed year for AgEagle.”

Designed for stealth and collection of high precision imagery and data analysis, the rugged, lightweight eBee TAC is a hand-launched fixed wing tactical mapping UAS, is easily transportable, can be safely deployed in under three minutes by a single person, has a maximum flight time of approximately 90 minutes, over 34 miles in range, can fly in silent mission mode, and be operated without waiver. Each eBee TAC system features a NDAA-compliant drone, range of sensors and active components, Blue sUAS registration, Secure Extension, Endurance Activation, AES256-bit encryption, pixel camouflage and comes in an IP67 hard transport case. Government sales inquiries regarding the eBee TAC should be directed to [e-mail].

AgEagle Announces Reappointment of Company’s Chairman, Barrett Mooney, as Chief Executive Officer to Lead Next Wave of Growth and Transformation
January 18 2022 - 04:15PM


AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE American: UAVS) (“AgEagle” or the “Company”), an industry-leading provider of full-stack drone, sensor and software solutions, today announced that its Board of Directors has reappointed Company Chairman Barrett Mooney as AgEagle’s new Chief Executive Officer, effectively immediately. Mooney succeeds Brandon Torres Declet who has resigned as Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board of Directors to pursue new opportunities.

From July 2018 through June 2020, Mooney served as Chief Executive Officer of AgEagle and subsequently stepped down from the post upon his appointment as Chairman of the Board. During his original tenure as CEO, Mooney is credited for architecting and executing AgEagle’s initial expansion efforts beyond the manufacture of proprietary fixed wing drones for farm use into manufacture and assembly of drones for test applications in drone package delivery; development of proprietary aerial imagery-based data analytics and solutions for the hemp, land management and agricultural sectors; and other key fundamental growth initiatives focused on pursuit of opportunities in the greater autonomous commercial drone market.

Commenting on the change in leadership, independent Board member Grant Begley stated, “The reappointment of Barrett as CEO comes at a critical juncture in AgEagle’s growth as we continue to evolve our strategy and solutions to meet the groundswell of opportunities fast emerging in the global commercial and government UAS industries. Given Barrett’s proven leadership and business-building skills, visionary aptitude and deep understanding of drone hardware, software, data and analytics, we are confident that he is the ideal person to assume the helm of AgEagle and move the Company through its next wave of growth and transformation.”

“AgEagle’s market valuation has taken a hit over the past year, however, our Company has made notable accomplishments, not the least of which is completing three strategic acquisitions”, said Mooney. “It is my belief that we can regain the confidence of the Wall Street community through our future growth and succeed by staying true to our roots in innovation and delivering a well-defined pathway to sustainable profitability.”

Continuing, Mooney added, “Moving forward, it is my intention to ensure that AgEagle becomes globally synonymous with technological innovation in our industry and earns distinction as a UAS company that prioritizes our customers’ needs first. You can expect to see us double down on our efforts to win new commercial and government customers by delivering smart, highly scalable drone solutions that effectively solve operational challenges and provide actionable insights that empower our customers to improve their workflow processes and outcomes. We have superior technology, the talent and the will necessary to succeed; and it is incumbent upon me to ensure that we do. I am very excited about the months ahead to earn shareholder confidence -- not because of the kind of company we may become, but because of the visionary, high performing company we are and were always intended to be.”
