( NASDAQ : DPRO ) ( CSE : DPRO ) ( FSE : 3U8 ) ( “ Draganfly ” or the “ Company ” ) , an award - winning , industry - leading drone solution developer and operator , is pleased to announce its third quarter financial results . Key Financial and Operational Highlights for Q3 2021 : • Revenue for the third quarter increased 30.5 % to $ 1,896,992 up from $ 1,453,905 in the third quarter of 2020. Third quarter revenue was made up of $ 1,351,517 from product sales while $ 411,756 was from drone services with the balance coming from engineering services . • Gross profit increased by $ 212,586 or 37.9 % for the third quarter over the same period last year . Gross margin percentage for Q3 2021 was 40.8 % compared to 38.5 % in Q3 2020. This was attributed to a larger contribution of engineering services this quarter versus the same period last year , as these services tend to have higher gross margins than the other categories . • Total comprehensive income for Q3 2021 was $ 24.0 million compared to a loss of $ 2.5 million in Q3 2020. The large increase is from the accounting treatment of a $ 30.6 million non - cash liability from USD warrants that were issued during the Company's Reg A offering . The year over year comprehensive income increased as Q3 2020 did not have the treatment of the USD warrants from the Company's Reg A offering . The increase year over year was somewhat offset by an increase in office and miscellaneous expenses and professional expenses . . • Cash balance on September 30 , 2021 of $ 28.0 million compared to $ 2.0 million on December 31 , 2020 .
