Siyata Mobile Reports $3.0MM In Q1 2018 Revenue

Siyata Mobile Inc (TSXV:SIM) announced that it has filed its Q1 2018 financial results with the company reporting a revenue of $3MM as compared to $4.9MM for the same period in the previous year.

As quoted in the press release:

• This negative variance of $1.9MM (39%) is due mainly to the decrease in demand for the legacy products as well as sales decline in North America primarily due to new 4G products which required FCC and IC certification as well as customer acceptance procedures;

• Adjusted EBITDA is negative $833,775 versus positive $163,480 in the same period in 2017 a negative variance of $997,255;

• Gross Margin for the Q1 2018 was 27.8% vs. 27% in Q1 2017;

• Working Capital as of March 2018 is $8.5MM vs. $8.2MM in March 2017.

Marc Seelenfreund, CEO and Chairman of Siyata Mobile, comments, “Q1 was a challenging quarter as we continued to shift both our existing and new customers from our legacy 3G products towards our new 4G LTE portfolio. In Q2 we are witnessing a lift in sales of our 4G products and we are very confident that this momentum will continue in the coming quarters of 2018 and beyond.”
