Strong earnings generated by the Company’s 42% increase in revenue.
OTTAWA, March 31, 2022 – C-COM Satellite Systems Inc., (TSXV: CMI and OTCQB: CYSNF) a leading global provider of commercial grade mobile auto-deploying satellite antenna systems, announced today its financial results for its fiscal year ended November 30, 2021.
The Company generated revenues of $9,151,986 and a net income of $1,422,821 (4 cents per share) in fiscal 2021. This compares to total revenues of $6,455,633 and a net loss of $213,392 (as restated) in fiscal 2020. The 2021 gross profit margin improved to 60%, versus 57% in fiscal 2020. The 42% sales growth, healthy margins, and well managed expenses were the key drivers to the Company’s improved profit performance in 2021.
The working capital of the Company also increased by 7% to $24,597,032 as of November 30, 2021.
“Though our recovery is not yet at the pre-COVID heights of fiscal 2019, we were pleased to see a significant increase of revenues in 2021 with corresponding profitability,” said Leslie Klein, President and CEO of C-COM Satellite Systems Inc.
“A highlight of our 2021 performance was the $3.8 million (USD) iNetVu® Manpack antenna order which was completed in Q1,” continued Klein.
“With worldwide markets still struggling sluggishly, C-COM felt the impact of the pandemic during 2021. Supply chain shortages, combined with rising inflation are factors that we manage every day. Despite these issues, C-COM is well positioned to weather these challenges given our healthy balance sheet, extensive inventory, and commitment to R&D for next generation products,” Klein added.
Dr. Klein provided additional commentary: “The C-COM team is cautiously optimistic about our prospects in 2022 and 2023. The Company will return to displaying at international trade shows following a 2-year absence due to COVID. Our newest technology, a revolutionary Electronically Steered Phased Array antenna, in development for more than 5 years, was revealed last week at Satellite 2022 in Washington D.C. and generated significant interest. A number of successful GEO satellite tests over the Telesat Anik F3 satellite were completed last year, and we look forward to conducting in-motion LEO testing as a next step in this new antenna development.”
