DroneShield lodged its quarterly report for the 30 September 2019 quarter with the Australian Securities Exchange earlier today. You can view a copy of the report here

DroneShield continued to scale its business in the September 2019 quarter, following two prior transformational quarters in 2019. While the timing of the Company’s cashflows meant that DroneShield’s customer cash inflows in the September 2019 quarter were lower than in the previous quarter, the Company ended the quarter with approximately $3,000,000 in customer orders in relation to which payments are yet to be made by its customers.

Highlights include:

  • DroneShield raised $9,550,000 in new capital, from a substantially institutional investor base, transforming, expanding and further institutionalising its share register, market capitalisation and market liquidity, and securing its capital base for a long-term runway.
  • While DroneShield’s cash inflows from customers were $333,779 for the quarter, the Company ended the quarter with approximately $3,000,000 worth of orders that have been placed by customers and for which payments are expected to be made in the subsequent quarters.
  • Approx. $200,000 of the cash inflows during the quarter related to a new order placed by the Ministry of Defence of a large Middle Eastern country for which drone defence has recently become a critical national security issue.
  • DroneShield won the first substantial order from the Australian Department of Defence for its recently released RfPatrol product, in the amount of $700,000.
  • DroneShield announced a watershed partnership with BT, the largest telecommunications provider in the UK, which is rolling out a suite of counterdrone services nationwide in the UK, with DroneShield as its sole counterdrone provider.
  • DroneShield continued to progress multiple substantial contracts globally, with a key potential bid for an order in the amount of $60 million – $70 million having progressed from the preferred bidder status to a negotiated form of agreement.

The report covers a number of other key developments through to the date of the report, and we encourage you to review it for a detailed look at DroneShield’s substantial progress.

Forget Startups: Why Magnetic Alliance is Betting on “Boring” Mid-Market Turnarounds

While Australia’s venture capital scene spent years chasing unprofitable tech startups and speculative high-growth plays, Mark Lim was quietly taking a radically different path. The Managing Partner of Magnetic Alliance Capital sees the nation’s richest investment opportunities hiding in plain sight: inside thousands of unglamorous, profitable, but operationally sluggish mid-market businesses. Speaking on Wholesale Investor’s […]

The asset class where the market has no vote

Litigation funding returns are decided in a courtroom, not a cycle. Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]

The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not

Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
