AgEagle Aerial Systems Reports Record Revenue in First Quarter 2020

NEODESHA, Kan., May 15, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE American: UAVS), an industry leading provider of unmanned aerial vehicles and advanced aerial imagery, data collection and analytics solutions, today announced its first quarter financial results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020.

Key Financial Highlights for Comparable First Quarter Periods in 2020 and 2019

To view detailed financial results for the first quarter period, please refer to the Form 10-Q filed yesterday by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, found at www.sec.gov.

Nicole Fernandez-McGovern, Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, stated, “Early last year, AgEagle began executing a long-term growth strategy to leverage our proprietary technology platform and commercial drone expertise to penetrate new high-growth industries outside of traditional farming, including the emerging hemp cultivation and drone-enabled package delivery markets. As reflected in our comparable year-over-year first quarter performance, it is becoming apparent that our strategy is gaining traction. Looking ahead, we believe that our Company is well positioned to accelerate growth in both of these markets as the year unfolds.”

During the first quarter, the Company announced that it was implementing key changes in its executive leadership. On May 8, 2020, Barrett Mooney resigned as Chief Executive Officer and replaced founder Bret Chilcott as Chairman of the Board. Chilcott resigned as both Chairman and President of the Company, but will remain as an advisor to the Company for a period of 12 months. In addition, AgEagle will welcome J. Michael Drozd as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective May 18, 2020. Fernandez-McGovern is serving as the Interim CEO until that date.
