PASSUR® Aerospace Announces 12% Revenue Increase and Results for the Third Quarter Ended July 31, 2018

STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- PASSUR® Aerospace, Inc. (OTC: PSSR), a global leader in digital operational excellence, announced revenues of $3,716,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2018, compared with $3,332,000 for the same period in fiscal year 2017, an increase of $384,000, or 12%. For the nine months ended July 31, 2018, revenues totaled $10,731,000, compared with $10,371,000 for the same period in fiscal year 2017, an increase of $360,000, or 3%.

"We are seeing positive results from our recent investments, which justify their continuance," said Jim Barry, President and CEO. "Global airlines, airports, and service providers need digital operational solutions that help deliver greater value to their customers. PASSUR's objective is to deliver unique comprehensive solutions from our proven suite of cloud-based products and operational consulting."

Our total revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2018 increased, as compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to an increase in subscription revenue of $267,000 and consulting revenue of $117,000. Our total revenues for the nine months ended July 31, 2018 increased, as compared to the same period in 2017, primarily due to an increase in subscription revenue of $158,000 and consulting revenue of $206,000. The increase in subscription revenue, for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2018, was primarily due to new contracts closed during fiscal year 2018 and net incremental revenue recognized during the periods in fiscal 2018 related to new contracts closed during fiscal year 2017.

We strive to be continuously profitable, but, to provide long term value to our customers and shareholders, we must continue to invest in our future. To optimize our long term objectives, we are working to scale our business to meet anticipated future demand for our offerings. We have already entered into agreements and partnerships with several major companies and are working to implement others. These future partnerships, if successful, could expand our product offerings, increase our potential customer base, particularly in the international market, and provide additional resources to fuel our growth. The cost and timing of our increased investments in operational excellence have enabled the Company to build the capability to more quickly scale to accommodate future global customer demand, but these investments, and others, increased costs of revenue and caused a reduction in gross profit margins.

For the three months ended July 31, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $2,677,000, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $598,000, or $0.08 per diluted share for the same period in fiscal year 2017. For the nine months ended July 31, 2018, the Company incurred a net loss of $4,868,000, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $720,000, or $0.09 per diluted share for the same period in fiscal year 2017. Contributing to the operating losses for both the three and nine months ended July 31, 2018, were non-cash charges aggregating approximately $1,476,000, associated with an increase in the reserve for slow moving PASSUR Network parts and supplies as well as write-offs certain Network systems, and software.

Below are some business highlights during the quarter:

• Signed a contract with an additional international airline. A fast-growing overseas airline contracted with PASSUR to help identify and implement the improvements needed to successfully execute the airline's strategic growth plan, leveraging the expertise of PASSUR's Business Intelligence and Solution Architect teams.

• Signed a contract with DLA Piper LLP, as part of its engagement with the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, to be its sole industry advisor in connection with an investigation conducted and delivered by former U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary and Senior Policy Advisor at DLA Piper Ray LaHood into the events at JFK Airport during and following the winter storm of Thursday, January 4, 2018.

• Deployed PASSUR Regional Diversion Manager (PASSUR RDMtm), the first product of its kind, with Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), 21 surrounding regional airports, and airline stakeholders. RDM utilizes PASSUR's extensive network of airlines, airports, as well as other key aviation stakeholders to minimize the impact of major weather events and resulting diversions.

• Signed a contract with another major airport to purchase PASSUR RDM in September, 2018.
