Red Cat Holdings Reports Financial Results for Fiscal Second Quarter 2024 and Provides Corporate Update
December 15 2023 - 4:05PM
Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RCAT) (“Red Cat” or “Company”), a
drone technology company integrating robotic hardware and software
for military, government, and commercial operations, reports its
financial results for the second quarter ended October 31, 2023 and
provides a business update.
Operating Highlights:
- Selected by U.S. Army as a finalist
for its Short Range Reconnaissance (SRR) Tranche 2 Drone
Program
- Received orders for 344 drones with
a total value of approximately $5.2 million from a
U.S. federal government agency
- Secured contract with U.S. Customs and Border protection for
106 Teal 2 Drone systems
- Partnered with aerospace
engineering firm ES Aero to facilitate rapid completion of customer
specific projects
- Remote ID certification received
from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
- Teal 2 sUAS now available for
purchase through federal government’s GSA Advantage
- Continued global expansion with
entry into Latin America
Financial Highlights:
- Record revenues
of almost $4 million for fiscal second quarter ending October 31,
2023, representing growth of more than 400% compared to the
prior-year period and 125% on a sequential basis
- Gross margin
tripled sequentially to more than 30% in the second quarter of
fiscal 2024 compared to 10% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024,
driven by continued improvements in the manufacturing process, an
increase in units shipped, and higher margins on the SRR prototype
contract
- Backlog grew to
$4.5 million at October 31, 2023 and $7.4 million in early December
2023
- Raised $9.2 million in gross
proceeds from an equity offering
“Our Q2 results exceeded our guidance by 30% and was the highest
quarterly revenue in Company history due to our launch of the Teal
2 drone in April 2023,” commented Jeff Thompson, Chief Executive
Officer. “This brand new system is now fully integrated with
artificial intelligence and computer vision capabilities,
including Athena AI, AeroVironment’s Tomahawk Kinesis, Reveal
Technologies’s Farsight, and ATAK by PAR Government. This
technology stack gives the frontline warfighter a feature-rich
capability never seen on a rucksack portable drone.
“We are extremely honored to be downselected by
the U.S. Army as a finalist for the Short Range Reconnaissance
(SRR) program of record. With the ongoing shift to small
tactical drones in warfare, we are very optimistic that our
Teal sUAS will be needed globally as the premier ISR system for the
warfighter. Given our record performance, growing backlog, and
recent U.S. Army downselection, we reiterate our Q3 revenue
guidance of $5 million, which would be another successful quarter
of record revenue,” concluded Thompson.
"We are reporting record revenues, gross margin,
and backlog for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, each of which
represents clear indicators that the Teal 2 is resonating in the
marketplace," stated Joseph Hernon, Chief Financial Officer. "With
our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Salt Lake City
continuing to scale production capacity and refine the
manufacturing process, we are confident in our ability to fulfill
our backlog with increasing product gross margins."
