ASX Announcement 29 October 2019

PARAZERO POSTS RECORD QUARTERLY REVENUE IN Q3

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Cash receipts for the quarter reached a record of US$414,000
  • 38 companies secured waivers for the ParaZero SafeAir System.
  • ParaZero advancing projects to secure approvals in Europe and other countries

Drone safety systems company ParaZero Limited (ASX: PRZ) has announced record revenue for the quarter ending 30 September 2019 (Q3 2019).

Following the completion of the quarter, (24 October 2019) the company secured an additional US$440,000 via a private placement.

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

ParaZero recorded cash receipts in Q3 2019, of US$414,000.

"ParaZero spent the first half of the calendar year accumulating inventory so that we were prepared to quickly deliver on our Q3 orders. Our forward planning put us in a strong position to meet customer orders," said ParaZero Managing Director Eden Attias.

Total operating outflows during the quarter totaled US$877,000 (inclusive of VAT returns and grants).

"We reduced our operating outflows last quarter, mostly due to lower manufacturing and operating costs. We have been working hard to improve our manufacturing and operating efficiencies," said Mr Attias.

Cash outflows in the December quarter are expected to be in line with Q3 (not inclusive of expected VAT returns and grants), as the company consolidates its financial position.

REGULATORY UPDATE

ParaZero is building on its competitive advantage as the only off-the-shelf parachute solution currently being used for "flight over people".

Thirty-eight companies have already secured waivers with the ParaZero SafeAir System.

These customers include CNN, Fox News, Verizon Media, Hensel Phelps, DroneDeploy and North Dakota Department of Transportation

"In addition to the companies that have already secured waivers, there are dozens of waiver applications still in process. We are using this regulatory decision to build a sustainable competitive advantage for the future," said Mr Attias.

In Canada, ParaZero provides the only flight over people compliant parachute systems for the DJI Phantom and Mavic drones - the most popular drones on the market.

ParaZero is moving forward with projects to secure approvals in Europe and other countries.

STRATEGIC REVIEW

ParaZero is poised to build on its strengthening market position following our record sales quarter.

"ParaZero is intending to leverage its progress following favourable regulatory developments. We have also revised our business plan to focus on sales of certified systems, which have higher profit margins," said Mr Attias.

The Company is conducting a full review of all the aspects of the business to determine the best pathway moving forward.

"In addition to pursuing organic growth, we will be meeting with potential strategic partners to evaluate options to build value for our shareholders," said Mr Attias.
