November 15, 2019 (Source) – UV350 Orders Drive Revenue Growth and Record Margins
Siyata Mobile Inc. (the “Company” or “Siyata”) (TSX-V:SIM / OTCQX:SYATF) announces it has filed Q3 2019 financials, and will be hosting a conference call to discuss these results on Friday, November 15th at 9:00 AM EST (6:00 PST). Conference call details are set out below.
Highlights:
- Q3 2019 revenue of $5.0-million, a 61% increase over Q3 2018 driven by UV350 sales;
- North American sales higher in Q3 2019 with $2.2-Million in revenues versus $1.2-Million in Q2 2019;
- Record margins of 31.5% in Q3 2019 compared to 26% in Q3 2018;
- Adjusted EBITDA in Q3 2019 of negative ($337,110), versus negative ($898,211) for Q3 2018;
- Working capital at September 30, 2019, is $7.6-million compared to $7.3-million at the end of Q3 2018;
- $1.9M cash balance as of September 30, 2019.
Higher Q3 revenue was mainly contributed by the sale of Siyata’s 4G ruggedized products, including the Uniden® UV350 Push-to-Talk Over Cellular (PoC) devices in the North American marketplace.
As the whole 4G product portfolio (UV350, CP250) commands higher margin than the 3G legacy portfolio, the Company’s margin improved and is expected to be strong regardless of the geographical region (U.S., Canada, Europe and Middle East).
The Company spent additional capital during the quarter on development of a band 14 cellular device for industrial workers and first responders. Highly complementary to its in-vehicle portfolio, the Company anticipates it will launch this device through its existing North American and global sales channels in 2020.
In Q3 2019, Siyata completed the following:
- Launched Uniden® UV350 at Rogers Wireless;
- Received multiple U.S. and Canadian purchase orders for its Uniden® UV350;
- Launched with a major Saudi cellular carrier and commenced sales;
- Finalised integration with AT&T’s Workforce Manager enterprise application which is now available on the UV350
- Received a purchase order from global ride sharing company to begin field trials with their fleet
Marc Seelenfreund, CEO and Chairman of Siyata Mobile states, “By perfecting our in-vehicle cellular technology and multiple launches with Tier 1 carriers in North America, we have only just begun entering a very large scale market opportunity with no known direct competitors. Feedback from existing customers of the UV350 in the field and enterprise sales teams of the carriers has been excellent, with additional trials stemming from these relationships and our opportunity pipeline continues to grow.”
With ~17M commercial vehicles including 3.5M first responder vehicles in the United States alone, the UV350 is targeting a large scale market opportunity, partnering with Tier 1 cellular carriers to reach these end use customers.
The Company will hold a conference call on Friday, November 15, 2019, at 9:00 AM EST (6:00 AM PST) to discuss the Q3 results.
