Volatus Aerospace Corp. has announced record third-quarter revenue, a 238% increase YOY.
Drone company Volatus Aerospace Corp. (VOL:TSX; VLTTF:OTCQB) on Monday announced a record third-quarter revenue of CA$11.12 million, an increase of 68% over the previous quarter and a 238% increase YOY.
The company said the increase was driven by organic growth, scale in drone services activities, and increased aviation revenue.
Company officials said that the market for drones has remained strong as the war in Ukraine continues unabated and will continue to expand when it is over.
“Drones will have a major role to play in the reconstruction . . . of the country,” Volatus Chief Executive Officer Glen Lynch said during a conference call about the results on Monday. “The conflict in Ukraine literally changed the way countries around the world are looking at the use of drones and modern warfare. So, we’re responding to numerous opportunities right now for sales in NATO countries that are not currently engaged in fighting directly in the conflict in Ukraine. While I’m hopeful for peace and would be grateful if that was to happen overnight, we’re not seeing that happen anytime soon. And even if it does, we’re really looking at a fairly robust future for drones in the defense sector.”
