Orbital Tracking Corp. Reports Financial Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2017

Quarterly Revenue Jumps 32% Due to New Product Launches and Strong European Sales

AVENTURA, FL -- (Marketwired) -- 08/16/17 -- Orbital Tracking Corp. (OTCQB: TRKK) ("Orbital Tracking" or the "Company") yesterday reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

Second Quarter 2017 Highlights

• During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries Global Telesat Communications Ltd. ("GTC") and Orbital Satcom Corp. ("OSC") continued to record combined sales at record levels despite the continued adverse effects of currency fluctuations. This increase in sales during the quarter was a result of numerous diversified factors including revenue from new product lines, an increase in sales through e-commerce website sales and to recurring revenue airtime customers, and a 65% year-on-year increase in sales on our Amazon EU storefronts.
• Notable achievements for the Company during the quarter ended June 30, 2017, in terms of sales included the supply of 140 satellite phones and tracking devices with recurring airtime for use by a leading mining company in Africa, renewal of a satellite based tracking services contract for the United States' premier emergency response organization and continued growth in our sales to resellers.
• On May 31, 2017, the Company raised $500,000 from existing investors through the issuance and sale of Series J convertible preferred stock to support continued international expansion, additional product lines and increase inventory levels.

"We are pleased with the excellent progress made by the Company during the second quarter of 2017. Our quarterly sales exceeded $1.5m for the first time and increased by 32% from the comparable quarter of 2016, despite a near 11% decline in the GBP/US$ exchange rate which affects our sales negatively as reported in US$," said David Phipps, Chief Executive Officer of Orbital Tracking Corp. "We have been actively introducing new product lines during the past twelve months which, combined with a continued increase in demand for our more established lines, has had a positive effect on recent sales. Looking forward, we anticipate launching additional product lines, further building our recurring revenue customer base, and working on growing our international sales."
