PRESS RELEASE Paris , July 30 , 2021 , 7am CET • Parrot 2021 first - half earnings 19 % growth for the commercial drone business at constant exchange rates • Solid gross margin and effective management of operating costs • Positive impact of Micasense's sale on earnings and the cash position ANAFI Ai unveiled : the first smart professional drone , free from transmission limitations thanks to 4G , with a range of software applications already integrated 2021 first - half business During the first half of 2021 , the Parrot Group recorded consolidated revenues of € 24.3m , compared with restated revenues of € 23.7m at June 30 , 2020. The American subsidiary Micasense , sold on January 27 , 2021 , has no longer been consolidated since January 1 , 2021 : 2020 revenues are eliminated from full - year revenues for 2020 in order to obtain a comparable basis . Following on from the first quarter's good performance levels , the realignment around commercial drones is continuing to deliver a range of benefits : at constant exchange rates , the Group's half - year revenues ( comparable basis ) are up + 9.2 % ( 2.6 % at current exchange rates ) compared with the first half of 2020 . During the first half of this year , commercial developments were marked by : • Micro - drone revenues of € 8.2m , up + 6.0 % ( + 1.4 % at current exchange rates ) , driven by strong sales growth for commercial micro - drones from the ANAFI range and the ANAFI USA in particular . The ANAFI commercial drone range generated 78 % of first - half revenues for micro - drones , compared with 43 % for the first half of 2020. Its robust commercial development largely offset the voluntary scaling back of consumer product sales and the non - recurrence of the R & D funded ( € 1.0m ) linked to the completion of the SRR program at the end of 2020. This performance does not take into account a first order received under the framework agreement signed with the French Defense Procurement Agency ( DGA ) for 150 systems that are scheduled to be delivered this summer . • € 11.7m of revenues generated by the data analysis software solutions , up + 15.9 % ( + 7.9 % at current exchange rates ) , confirming the acceleration seen in March - April . The Pix4Dmapper solution achieved solid performance levels in terms of both sales and use , while the new business solutions launched at the end of 2019 have continued to progress . € 4.7m of revenues for the fixed - wing drones , with a contraction reduced to -4.5 % ( -10.4 % at current exchange rates ) , reflecting the second quarter's strong level of commercial activity ( + 13.1 % vs. the first quarter of 2021 ) . This follows the new fixed - wing commercial drones launched in February 2021 : the three new eBee models targeting different needs and markets are accelerating the renewal of the client base and attracting new users .
