SKYX Reports Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Results
SKYX Signed Acquisition Agreement of a Lighting and Home Décor eCommerce Company with 64 Websites and $86 Million in Revenues that Positions SKYX’s Plug & Play and Smart Products for Widescale Adoption in Both Professional and Retail Segments, Concurrent with its Continuing Safety Code Standardization Process
MIAMI, FL – March 31, 2023- SKYX Platforms Corp. (NASDAQ:SKYX) (d/b/a “Sky Technologies”) (“SKYX,” “we,” or the “Company”), a highly disruptive platform technology company with over 60 issued and pending patents globally with a mission to make homes and buildings become safe and smart as the new standard, today provided a corporate update in conjunction with the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Fourth Quarter 2022 and Subsequent Operational Highlights:
| ● | Signed a strategic acquisition agreement to acquire Belami, a profitable lighting and home décor eCommerce conglomerate with $86 million in revenues and 64 websites, that is expected to enhance the Company’s cash flow and serve as a marketing education platform, as well as accelerate SKYX’s products’ time to market and distribution to both professional and retail segments. The transaction is mostly funded through stock/equity payments while the cash portion for the closing was fully funded by two major SKYX leading investors. | |
| ● | The Company is planning to announce an investor call upon the closing of the e-commerce acquisition that is expected to occur in April and will discuss the Form 10-K as well as the significant implications of the 64 lighting and décor websites on the Company’s go-to-market strategy. | |
| ● | SKYX was approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) for inclusion in its mandatory annual Continuing Education Systems course for its 96,000+ member architects. | |
| ● | SKYX’s Smart plug & play for ceilings products won a total of five prestigious awards during the Consumer Electronic Show – CES 2023 from leading technology publications, including the CES Smart Home Innovation Award. | |
| ● | As part of the standardization process of SKYX’s ceiling outlet/receptacle specifications, received an approval vote by ANSI / NEMA (American National Standards Institute and National Electrical Manufacturers Association). Additionally, our ceiling receptacle was voted and approved by the National Electrical Code (NEC) for the generic name WSCR (Weight-Supporting Ceiling Receptacle). | |
| ● | Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments available for sale totaled $16.8 million as of December 31, 2022, as compared with $10.4 million as of December 31, 2021. | |
| ● | Cash used in operations during 2022 amounted to $13.8 million, as compared to $4.6 million in the prior year. | |
| ● | Net cash operating loss of $13 million for 2022, in addition to $14 million of non-cash shares- and options-based payment, resulted in a $27.0 million net loss, as compared to $5.7 million in the prior year. The $14.0 million of non-cash shares- and options-based payments compared to $1.5 million included in the net loss figure for the prior year. |
The full text of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, will be filed with the SEC.
Management Commentary
| ● | During the past couple of quarters, SKYX has reached several major achievements, including signing the acquisition of the 64 lighting websites with $86 million in revenues that, in addition to the acceleration of marketing, distribution and sales to both professional and retail segments, is expected to provide additional cash flow to the Company, which, when combined with our existing cash, should be sufficient for at least 18 months of operations. Additionally, as part of our standardization process, we have achieved historic vote approvals for the specifications of our game-changing ceiling receptacle by ANSI / NEMA as well as by NEC and by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) to become part of its mandatory annual Continuing Education Systems course for its 96,000+ member architects. Furthermore, the Company’s generation-1 smart ceiling plug & play product has won five awards at the CES 2023 (Consumer Electronic Show). |

These statements reflect the Company’s reasonable judgment with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which have outcomes difficult to predict and may be outside our control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include risks arising from the Belami Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) and the Belami Acquisition (the “Acquisition”), including the diversion of management’s attention from the Company’s ongoing business operations, an increase in the amount of costs, fees and expenses and other charges related to the Stock Purchase Agreement or the Acquisition, outcome of any litigation that the Company or Belami may become subject to relating to the Acquisition, the extent of, and the time necessary to obtain, any regulatory approvals required for the Acquisition, risks of disruption to the Company’s business as a result of the public announcement of the Acquisition, the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement, an inability to complete the Acquisition in the anticipated timeline or at all, including due to a failure of any condition to the closing of the Acquisition to be satisfied or waived by the applicable party, the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement, a decline in the market price for the Company’s common stock if the Acquisition is not completed, risks that the Acquisition disrupts current plans and operations of the Company or Belami and potential difficulties in Company or Belami employee retention as a result of the Acquisition, and the ability to implement business plans, forecasts and other expectations after the completion of the Acquisition, realize the intended benefits of the Acquisition, including the anticipated cash flow enhancement and acceleration of SKYX’s products’ time to market and distribution to both professional and retail segments, and identify and realize additional opportunities following the Acquisition. Forward-looking statements also include statements relating to the Company’s ability to successfully launch, commercialize, develop additional features and achieve market acceptance of its smart products and technologies, including commencement of presales, the Company’s efforts and ability to drive the adoption of Sky’s Smart Platforms into multi-family residential buildings and communities and adoption by hotels, builders and architects, ability to capture market share, ability to execute on any sales and licensing opportunities, ability to achieve code mandatory status for the SkyPlug, and other risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. In particular, the American National Standards Institute’s (ANSI) and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association’s (NEMA) vote for the standardization of the Company’s weight-bearing plug and outlet/receptacle for ceilings does not guarantee approval by the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Committee on the NEC (which consists of multiple code-making panels and a technical correlating committee that develops the NEC) or any other trade or regulatory organization and does not guarantee that any of the Company’s products will become NEC-code mandatory in any jurisdiction, or that any of the Company’s current or future products or technologies will be adopted by any state, country, or municipality, within any specific timeframe or at all. The financial information included in this press release is based upon available information that is preliminary in nature, as well as certain assumptions and estimates that the Company believes are reasonable. The financial information regarding Belami is unaudited, including the revenue numbers for 2022, and the audited financials may differ from these preliminary numbers in material respects. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date of this press release, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by U.S. federal securities laws.
