The bet on growth pays off as DRONE VOLT becomes an established major player

Villepinte, 23 March 2016 - DRONE VOLT, the French leader in civilian drones fro professional applications, presented its annual results for 2015 (unaudited). Through fundraising with qualified investors, DRONE VOLT has significantly accelerated its human and technological investments in order to quickly gain a commanding and sustainable position in the rapidly growing market of civilian drone.

The bet on growth has already paid off, and the company has set up a strong foundation for further development. We note in particular:

• A doubling of sales to 3.7 million euros;

• An expansion of personnel from 6 to 20 employees;

• The establishment of an R&D department which gave rise to the DRONE VOLT PILOT® application in early 2016;

• The opening of subsidiaries in Scandinavia, Canada and in 2016 offices in the USA and Switzerland;

• The launch of the first products developed "by DRONE VOLT", including the Z18 flagship models (imaging) and Spray (dedicated to construction, health and environment);

• The move to a new office location and the creation the Buy & Fly test center.

This offensive strategy has resulted in a controlled operating profit of 0.9 million euros and a net result of -0.6 million euros after taking into account a tax credit.

Furthermore, DRONE VOLT has a strengthened financial structure in line with its ambitions. At 31 December 2015, the company thus had 1.2 million Euro capital (0.2 million a year earlier) and net cash of 0.5 million.
