Vislink Technologies Reports Q3 2019 Financial Results
HACKETTSTOWN, NJ, Nov. 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vislink Technologies, Inc. (“Vislink” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: VISL), whose brands are recognized as the global leaders in live video communications, announced its results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019. The Company has issued a Corporate Update that includes a review of the financial results and news regarding recent corporate developments (more information below).Recent Company Highlights:Was awarded a $2.8 million U.S. Army contract for handheld intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) receiver devices. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company announced it had completed the first delivery against the contract.Received orders valued at $1.6 million from global clients for satellite communications equipment.Was awarded a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) from the NATO Communications and Information Agency (NCIA).Announced a further three-year contract with Dorna Sports as Official RF Systems Supplier for the MotoGP motorcycle racing circuit.Closed on a $12 million public offering that allowed the Company to pay off convertible debt incurred during 2018 in full and ahead of schedule.Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company received $3 million in new orders in live production, military-government and satcom markets, which represent part of a $13 million current backlog (a 42% year-over-year increase).Also subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company received a $300,000 order for wireless camera systems for use by the U.S. Army.“In the third quarter, we received an injection of capital which allowed us to pay off convertible debt incurred during the financial turnaround we began in 2018,” said Roger Branton, CEO of Vislink Technologies. “This allowed the Company to de-lever its balance sheet and be free of all funded debt for the first time. However, our performance was impeded during the quarter by lingering negative effects to our supply chain. This impacted our ability to book and ship orders and was reflected in our Q3 results. As the quarter progressed, the investments we started making to realign the supply chain began to bear fruit. This was reflected in the new orders and strong backlog that significantly exceeds the previous year’s, both of which we announced after the end of the quarter. We are confident that we are well-positioned operationally to profitably build our order book, as we focus on pursuing new growth areas, as well as capturing the ongoing demand we are experiencing in our main business sectors.”GAAP RESULTSRevenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $5 million and $20.5 million, compared to $8.3 million and $27.4 million in the corresponding periods in 2018.Gross margins were 40.7% of revenue in the third quarter 2019, compared to 49.2% of revenue in the third quarter of 2018.Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $5 million, or $(0.40) per share in the third quarter of 2019 compared to a net loss of $2.2 million, or $(1.30) per share in the third quarter of 2018.
