Orbital Tracking Corp. Reports Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results

AVENTURA, FL--(Marketwired - November 11, 2016) - Orbital Tracking Corp. (OTCQB: TRKK) ("Orbital Tracking" or the "Company"), today reported financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Third Quarter 2016 Highlights

• In August, Global Telesat Communications Ltd. ("GTCL"), the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, was selected by the Electoral Commission of Zambia ("ECZ") to provide more than 200 satellite phones, satellite broadband terminals, associated airtime and customer support services to ECZ and its staff during the country's presidential elections which took place on August 11^th. This is the largest sale of its kind awarded to GTCL in Africa.
• In September, Orbital Satcom Corp. ("OSC"), the Company's U.S.-based wholly owned subsidiary, expanded its North American online retail channel through Walmart's invite-only Marketplace at www.walmart.com. The Walmart online marketplace joins a growing list of U.S.-based e-commerce marketplaces operated by Orbital Tracking under the OSC brand including sites on Amazon.com, eBay and Sears.com.

"We are pleased with the top-line growth recorded in the third quarter of 2016, traditionally one of the Company's strongest, as sales volumes reached record levels. Demand in our global markets in Europe remained high and were bolstered by significant new contracts in emerging markets such as in Africa with the ECZ and in the US as we continue to expand our presence in North America," said David Phipps, Chief Executive Officer of Orbital Tracking Corp. "Our global growth plans for Orbital Tracking Corp. remain on track despite the continued negative impact of devaluation of the GBP is having on GTC sales and our margins as reported in our financial results. We continue to invest in the business, expanding both our product portfolio and market reach which will help mitigate continued currency volatility while helping ensure we continue to deliver the best satellite communications and tracking solutions available combined with unmatched service and support that our customers expect."

Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, consolidated revenues reached record levels, increasing 32% to approximately $1,299,373 as compared to approximately $982,775 as reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

Although product volume sales were at record levels during the third quarter, results continued to show the negative impact of depreciation in the GBP and EUR against the US$.

Comparable revenue for the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries, GTCL and Orbital Satcom Corp.("OSC"), increased 53.5% to approximately $998,878 and decreased 1.6% to approximately $326,833, respectively for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Total GTCL sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, increased 34% to approximately $2,082,863.
