Financial Results: Third Quarter 2020 vs. Third Quarter 2019
Revenues: KULR generated revenues of $136,849 in the third quarter ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of 74% compared with revenues of $526,722 reported in the year-ago period. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to a large DOD contract of about $355,000 received during the three months ended September 30, 2019. The customer has pushed the next shipment of product to 2021.
In spite of the reduction in sales this quarter, we are pleased to have new customers and partners such as Airbus, Drako Motors and Volta Energy, which we expect to contribute revenue by 2021. These additions reflect management’s commitment to build new customer relationships through a growing pool of referrals and business development leads.
