Orbital Tracking Corp. Reports First Quarter 2015 Financial Results
Newly Combined Satellite Tracking Business Reports 20% Revenue Growth
WALNUT CREEK, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/26/15 -- Orbital Tracking Corp. (OTCQB: TRKK) (the "Company") announced today financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015 which follows the recently completed share exchange agreement with Global Telesat Communications Limited, a privately held United Kingdom corporation.
In the March 2015 quarter, revenues increased by 20% to approximately $800,000 from approximately $660,000 reported in the first quarter of 2014. Net loss in March 2015 quarter was approximately $422,000, compared to a net profit of approximately $66,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The change in net loss is largely attributable to one-time expenses related to the Company's reverse acquisition of Global Telesat Communications completed in February and further development of the Company's operations.
Orbital Tracking Corp. provides a variety of satellite based communications and asset tracking solutions, including ground station construction, specialized engineering services and product design. Through two subsidiaries, Global Telesat Communications and Orbital Satcom Corp., the Company offers a wide range of mobile satellite-based MSS (Mobile Satellite Services) products which allow low cost communications and tracking from anywhere in the world.
"The first quarter of 2015 marked a pivotal milestone for the Company, highlighted by our successful reverse acquisition and re-capitalization, creating a truly global provider of MSS products for commercial, government and recreational customers," said David Phipps, Chief Executive Officer of Orbital Tracking Corp. "The Global Telesat transaction was the first of a number of key steps in our strategic plan to build the Orbital Tracking brand into one the leading manufacturers and resellers of satellite communications and asset tracking products through the introduction of new products and the addition of senior talent to our management team and Board of Directors. We're off to a promising start in 2015, and our team is looking forward to meeting the growing demand for global communications and asset tracking solutions."
