CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / November 13, 2024 / FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd. (TSXV:FLY)(OTCQX:FLYLF) (the "Company" or "FLYHT") today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024 ("Q3 2024"). All figures are Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

Financial Summary

Operating Results

Revenue decreased by 14% to $4,398,225 in Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023, driven by declines in SaaS and Licensing, which more than offset increases in Hardware and Technical Services. SaaS revenue decreased by 22% to $2,167,003, driven by a decrease in TAMDAR soundings, and Licensing revenue decreased by 95% to $22,889 due to differences in orders from our long-term OEM customer. Hardware revenue increased 6% to $1,061,822 with a total of 11 installations kits shipped in Q3 2024 compared to 18 kits shipped in Q3 2023, mainly due to installation schedules for our contracted AFIRS 228 product and per kit pricing variances. Technical Services revenue increased by 41% to $1,146,511 due to an increased amount of AMOS data migration work completed and an increase in certification services provided.

Gross margin was 56.8% of revenue in Q3 2024 compared to 58.7% in Q3 2023. The increase in gross margin was due primarily to changes in the mix of revenue sources during the quarter.

Operating expenses increased by 24% from Q3 2023, mainly driven by $719,508 of non-recurring expenses associated with the restructuring. Excluding the non-recurring costs, operating expenses would have increased by 4%. Distribution expenses increased by 13%, reflecting an increased focus on sales and marketing for our Edge products. Research, Development and Certification Engineering expenses increased by 8%, mainly driven by contract labour reflecting the final push required to complete the AFIRS Edge+ and FLYHT-WVSS-II development work, moving those products into their new phase of commercialization, including required certifications. Administration expenses increased by 62% mainly due to the restructuring.

Negative Adjusted EBITDA1 totaled $1,034,678 in Q3 2024, excluding $719,508 of non-recurring restructuring expenses, compared to negative EBITDA of $430,865 in Q3 2023.
