On November 13, 2023, SKYX Platforms Corp. (SKYX, Financial) released its 8-K filing, announcing a record-breaking third quarter with $21.6 million in revenue. This marks a significant milestone for the company as it continues to expand its reach and enhance its advanced, safe, and smart plug & play platform technology products.
Financial Performance and Growth
SKYX's third-quarter revenue surge reflects the successful sales of its innovative products and a robust e-commerce strategy leveraging over 60 websites. The company's gross profit for the quarter stood at $6.7 million, or 31% of revenue, bolstered by the acquisition of the Belami E-commerce platform. Cash and investments totaled $24.4 million, up from $16.8 million at the end of the previous fiscal year, providing a solid financial foundation for ongoing operations.
Operational and Strategic Highlights
The company has made significant strides in market penetration, with a focus on both retail and commercial segments. A key operational highlight includes the collaboration with QUOIZEL, a leading lighting manufacturer, to incorporate SKYX's advanced smart and standard products across various channels. Additionally, SKYX has been proactive in pursuing safety standardization, filing for a mandatory safety standardization with the National Electrical Code (NEC) for its ceiling outlet receptacle, a move that could set new industry standards.
Financial Details
SKYX's balance sheet reflects a strong liquidity position, with current assets totaling $28.3 million. The company's total assets have grown to $78.3 million, up from $43.2 million in the previous year. However, the company also reported an increase in sales and marketing expenses to $5.7 million, compared to $1.0 million in the prior year's quarter, reflecting its investment in growth. The net loss for the quarter was $7.2 million, or $(0.08) per share, compared to a net loss of $5.7 million, or $(0.07) per share, in the third quarter of 2022.
Management Commentary
Management expressed optimism about the company's trajectory, citing the first significant full quarter of revenues from advanced ceiling smart and standard plug & play platform products. The company's e-commerce platform is expected to provide additional cash flow, which, combined with existing cash, is anticipated to support at least 18 months of operations. The path to the builder/commercial segments is seen as a key driver for standardization efforts and market adoption.
