VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 10, 2022 / Siyata Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ:SYTA)(NASDAQ:SYTAW) ("Siyata" or the "Company"), a global vendor of Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) devices and cellular signal booster systems, announced its financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
"We are very pleased to report strong year-over-year and sequential top-line growth and declining losses for the third quarter of 2022," said Marc Seelenfreund, Founder and CEO of Siyata. "Our improved financial performance was driven primarily by a number of customer trials of our SD7 rugged push-to-talk device, which began shipping in the second quarter, many of which then converted into purchase orders with volumes in Q3 that increased over Q2. Sales our rugged devices and related accessories were up 588% year-over-year to $1.9 million in Q3, driven primarily by volume growth for our SD7."
"We delivered on our plan to build and expand our potential customers for the SD7 during the third quarter, providing us with a foundation of increased distribution that is directly leading to many potential significant volume opportunities, of which we have begun shipping products in an increasing number of verticals beyond our primary focus on first responders, including: government, schools, utilities, security companies, defense contractors, amusement parks, and hotel resorts, to name but a few," continued Seelenfreund. "We are just beginning to see the rapid adoption of our disruptive solutions and as the displacement of land mobile radio (LMR) by PoC continues to progress, this should drive meaningful growth for our innovative products, such as the newest addition to our lineup, the SD7+, which integrates body camera functionality with 4G cellular connectivity and PoC features in a single solution."
Third Quarter 2022 (Unaudited) Financial Highlights:
Subsequent Events
Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, Siyata announced that we successfully closed a registered direct offering with certain institutional investors to purchase approximately $4M of our common shares, or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof, together with concurrently privately placed warrants to purchase our common shares. The combined effective purchase price for one common share or one pre-funded warrant and the privately placed warrant was $0.23.
We also announced an exciting new product, the SD7+ which features a wide-angle camera coupled with 4G cellular connectivity that will have traditional body camera functionality, as well as real-time situational and positional tracking capabilities. The SD7+ will be powered with Visual Labs' innovative body camera software. Visual Labs is a highly respected software company and developer of Android-based bodycam and dashcam software. Visual Labs provides its software to public safety, private security and other customers throughout the United States and internationally. Its public safety customers include town marshals, city police departments, county sheriff's offices, wildlife and other state agencies and federal customers.
And finally, we recently announced the addition of telecom industry veteran, Dan Leech to our sales team. Dan brings more than a decade of senior sales experience to his role at Siyata. Most recently, Dan served as Senior Account Manager for Motorola Solutions Inc., the global leader of public safety and enterprise security solutions. Previously, Dan was in senior sales roles at FirstNet as well as Kyocera Corporation and Sonim Technologies, Inc..
Outlook
Overall, we are very pleased with the growing acceptance by our customers of our truly unique disruptive push to talk solutions and we expect, based on what we are seeing today, growth in our various product categories, with especially strong growth coming from our Rugged Handset product category.
We are just beginning to see the rapid adoption of our disruptive solutions and as the displacement of land mobile radio by push-to-talk-over-cellular continues to progress, this should drive meaningful growth for our innovative products. We stand by our previously stated goals of: new customer wins, new and existing carrier launches, a continuous upgrade to our product portfolio and ultimately strong organic growth with a goal to profitability.
Rugged Handsets | Siyata's rugged handsets are targeted to the approximately 47 million1 enterprise task and public sector workers across North America including construction, transport & logistics, manufacturing, energy & utility, public safety, and federal government. Siyata's launch of the SD7 device and related accessories in North America expanded the Company's footprint in this product category. The Company plans to expand this segment with additional North American and international carriers, as well as push-to-talk application companies. Siyata anticipates multiple thousands of SD7 handsets sold throughout the balance of 2022.
Uniden® UV350 | Pent-up demand for this disruptive solution in the wake of pandemic-related delays has led to multiple active engagements with many customer trials resuming in 2022, which should translate into robust growth in this product line in the quarters ahead.
Cellular Boosters | The Company saw continued demand for Cellular Boosters during Q3, with a purchase order through a federal contractor to supply the US Navy. This deployment is expected to lead to additional sales opportunities supplying the US military in the future.
