The Company exceeded its Q1 2022 Plan by 39 percent, increased Revenue by 14 percent Quarter-to-Quarter and 4 percent Month-to-Month as the Key Milestones achieved during Quarter Ended March 2022
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC / ACCESSWIRE / April 22, 2022 / Today, Cyberlux Corporation, (OTC PINK:CYBL), an advanced digital technology platform company leading the digital transformation evolution across industries with breakthrough Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions, advanced unmanned aircraft solutions (UAS), cutting-edge lighting solutions, and renewable energy and infrastructure technology solutions, announced that the Company exceeded its Quarterly Revenue Plan of $4.5 million by 39 percent, delivering $6.25 million in revenue for the quarter. The Company also drove a 14 percent increase in Quarter-to-Quarter revenue over the record revenue recorded in the Fourth Quarter of 2021. For the first time in Company history, the March revenue results exceeded $2 million and marked the eighth consecutive month of sustained revenue growth, with a 4 percent increase in March revenue over February's record revenue. Cyberlux Management anticipates the quarterly revenue growth performance to continue and accelerate during 2022 and beyond, as the Company drives all four of its business units to achieve its 2022 revenue outlook of $44.8 million and generate a substantial positive net income from Operations for the year.
Cyberlux Corporation CEO Mark Schmidt commented:
"Dear CYBL Community, we had an amazing Q1 with all four of our business units (Digital Platform Solutions, Unmanned Aircraft Solutions, Advanced Lighting Solutions, and Infrastructure Technology Solutions) growing rapidly and generating revenue at record levels. Our Operation Alpha execution is continuing to exceed the results we expected, and our advanced technology platform company structure is producing record results. Our Q1 2022 revenue performance is truly exciting as we delivered revenue at 39% over our Q1 2022 plan of $4.5 million. For the month of March 2022, we also beat our revenue plan of $1.5 million by 47% with a record $2.2 million in revenue, while we produced 4% revenue growth over our February results, making March our best month ever. As I've noted, generally Q1 contributes a fraction to the full year results, which makes the Q1 2022 performance so important, and we then see the Cyberlux business build through the year from Q2 to Q4. With the Q1 results, we are now trending $1.75 million ahead of our internal year-to-date plan for achieving our $45 million revenue outlook for the 2022 full year.
Also, March marked the eighth consecutive month we've seen our plans deliver exceptional results, and the growth over the last two quarters, from Q4 2021 to Q1 2022, has been truly fantastic, certainly exceeding our expectations! Over the last eight months, our revenue has grown cumulatively to over $14 million, defining the trajectory for our 2022 performance as we drive Cyberlux to be the multi-billion-dollar company we expect it to be in the future. Across the markets we now serve, we are seeing new partnerships, new customers, and ever-expanding global opportunities, specifically within our Digital Platform Solutions (DPS) unit under GM Igor Stanisavljev and our Unmanned Aircraft Solutions (UAS) unit under GM Larson Isely.
As we continue to drive growth in 2022, Management believes the market will recognize the enterprise value we are building and the market opportunities we are addressing, almost $1 trillion dollars annually by 2025 led by the DPS and UAS market segments. Across the Cyberlux company and within the four business units, our employees are committed and incented to deliver results in everything we do, and we believe the market will ultimately recognize the shareholder value we are delivering, as we rapidly transform the Cyberlux company. While we have seen some easing in the difficult OTC market price action, we have a long-term view with the results of our first phase of growth just beginning.
In addition to the best-ever March revenue results for the Company, we had many other significant accomplishments during the month. Here's a brief recap of the milestones we achieved during Q1 2022:
- We reported revenue for March of $2.2 million, which is the first time revenue has exceeded $2 million in the month of March in company history. March revenue exceeded our March Plan of $1.5 million by 47% and each business unit overachieved the March Plan with ALS +3%, UAS +33%, ITS +29% and DPS +25% to Plan levels. We also saw month-to-month revenue growth of 4% over February's revenue results.
- We reported revenue for Q1 2022 of $6.25 million, which is the first time revenue has exceeded $5 million in Q1 in company history. Our Q1 2022 revenue exceeded our Q1 2022 Plan of $4.5 million by 39%, and we also saw quarter-to-quarter revenue growth of 14% over Q4 2021 revenue results.
- We announced that the Company has acquired Catalyst Machineworks, LLC, a leader in the highly technical cinematography drone market with established product lines that address the high-end military-grade market, the specialized drone racing market and the high-volume consumer market. Based in Texas, Catalyst Machineworks is a leading United States-based drone hardware manufacturer with the intellectual property, technology know-how and production capabilities to deliver true military-grade and law enforcement drone solutions as 100% Made-In-America.
- With the acquisition of Catalyst Machineworks, we are accelerating our UAS strategy with a specific focus on the UAS hardware and software offerings that have immediate demand and market scale. Cyberlux is now positioned to build the future of UAS technology and create enormous growth in revenue and profit over the coming years by providing solutions that meet the significant demand for U.S.-manufactured, high-capability drones across U.S. government agencies, law enforcement, and across significant commercial markets such as Cinematography, Oil and Gas, Construction and Real Estate. We intend to make ongoing strategic investments in UAS hardware and software development under the FlightEyeGDN platform and to make working capital investments to drive faster global UAS business expansion.

We have made significant progress with institutionalizing the Cyberlux organization during Q1 and are continuing to drive the Company forward as quickly as possible. Institutions and shareholders have noted changes in our corporate positioning and communications strategy based on the strategic guidance we are receiving from various institutional partners. We expect ongoing progress during Q2 2022 as well.

As I've stated, Q1 2022 was a remarkable quarter for the Cyberlux company and our shareholders. Our business units posted the best revenue results ever for a single quarter and we grew the business significantly across all four of our business units, led by the DPS and UAS units. The transformation of Cyberlux Corporation into a growth platform company is rapidly happening before our eyes, with markable growth catalysts driving exponential growth across our platform companies, demonstrated by the record monthly accomplishments we have across the organization. As you know, our Cyberlux team is a 24/7 organization operating across global time zones, and our ‘just do it' and ‘make it happen' company culture is one of our superpowers. This has been remarkable to witness as we continue to work across business units to support our opportunities with any and all of our capabilities. I mentioned this last month, but the ensuing weeks of effort have really shown the true character of our team, in particular with the Ukrainian supply support effort. I am honored, grateful and very proud of our team, and I know this global organization will deliver remarkable shareholder value, the kind of results the market will be unable to ignore. We are harnessing the future for our shareholders and we have just started."
