Passur® Aerospace Announces Results for the Third Quarter Ended July 31, 2017, Growing Number of Employees by Over 20% From Same Period in 2016

STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- PASSUR® Aerospace, Inc. (OTC: PSSR), a business intelligence, predictive analytics, and big data company, announced revenues of $3,332,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2017, compared with $3,827,000 for the same period in fiscal year 2016, a decline of $495,000, or 13%. For the nine months ended July 31, 2017, revenues totaled $10,371,000, compared with $11,072,000 for the same period in fiscal year 2016, a decline of $701,000, or 6%, of which, $283,000 resulted from a decline in non-recurring revenue. The decline in revenues for the three months and nine months ended July 31, 2017, was due in part to the non-renewal of a customer contract, which the Company believes will be offset by revenues from new contracts expected to be acquired during fiscal year 2017, on an annualized run-rate basis, and a decline in non-recurring revenue.   

For the three months ended July 31, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss of $579,000, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with net income of $181,000, or $0.02 per diluted share for the same period in fiscal year 2016. For the nine months ended July 31, 2017, the Company incurred a net loss of $874,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared with a net income of $328,000, or $0.04 per diluted share for the same period in fiscal year 2016. Contributing to the Company's net loss for both the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, was a reduction in revenue, as well as an increase in operating expenses due to our continued investments in development, sales and marketing, and management professionals to pursue revenue opportunities in the market, and to build and implement solutions sought by our customers.

"We have invested more this year in our Company than in recent years because the demand for our better intelligence to operate airline and airport operations is growing – and we expect it to grow both domestically and internationally," said Jim Barry, PASSUR President & CEO. "Our 2017 revenue has declined, but we anticipate revenue from contracted business with near-term deliveries to increase in the near and long term. We believe these investments will ultimately lead to new transformative capabilities for our customers and shape the future of how our customers use information and business intelligence to run operations."

Business highlights during the quarter:

• PASSUR is moving aggressively into the international market and has contracted with a major international airline to provide several core modules of PASSUR Integrated Traffic Management (PITM), designed to increase flight predictability and minimize delays and disruptions by addressing costly and complex air traffic constraints.
• PASSUR is partnering with GE to advance airline and airport operations integrating multiple data sources with the industrial internet. PASSUR has entered into an agreement with GE pursuant to which PASSUR and its customers will discuss with GE new digital solutions to address operational challenges and GE will apply the best practices of decision support design to help PASSUR bring leading-edge solutions to its customers. With iterative input from its customers, PASSUR is in the process of creating the next generation of aviation intelligence solutions, to address its customers' biggest operational challenges and opportunities with the goal of improving overall airline and airport reliability, service, and cash flow – and is utilizing GE to help accelerate this journey. The agreement with GE is also an important milestone in both companies' active investment in the Industrial Internet, by advancing the integration of multiple data sources from disparate systems, together with machine learning, onto an integrated decision support solution.
• PASSUR announced it has contracted with Broward County's Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport for an information and automation solution designed to increase traffic flows and capacity, and reduce delays and congestion, at one of the nation's fastest growing commercial airports. This new capability, built on modules of PASSUR Surface Management solutions, is applicable to all airports where demand is growing and the capacity of existing infrastructure is highly constrained – including regions like South Florida, where sustained growing demand is pushing the limits of the existing aviation infrastructure.
