AITX Provides Update on Deployed RAD Security Robots


Detroit, Michigan, Oct. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc., (the “Company”) (OTCPK:AITX), a global leader in AI-driven security and productivity solutions for enterprise clients along with its wholly owned subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), today provided an update on devices deployed, activated and those soon to be deployed.

As of September 30, 2023, RAD indicated a total of 487 devices are deployed and/or contracted to be deployed. When and if all contracted devices are fully deployed and producing revenue, and pending any changes, the expected Recurring Monthly Revenue (RMR) could be approximately $320,000. If the devices serve a twelve-month deployment term the annual revenue, subject to various adjustments, will be approximately $3.8MM plus deployment and training revenue.

All devices noted here are expected to produce revenue for at least 12 months. It is important to note, however, that clients can opt to cancel contracts, delay deployment, or ask for other changes that delay billing and or cancel the contracts. Furthermore, existing device deployments can be canceled or not renewed. Currently the Company experiences less than 5% deployment churn on a quarterly basis.

Note that 48 of these units at this moment are either built but not yet shipped, shipped but not yet received, received but not yet installed, installed but not yet activated, or activated but not yet accepted by the client which is required for billing to start. The Company anticipates most of these units will be producing revenue in the next couple of months as well as anticipating that most of the rest of the backlog could be deployed by the end of the calendar year. The backlog at this moment is 136 devices, which is defined as contracted (inked) devices that have not yet finished production. The Company noted that device shipments are not scheduled sequentially and that the Company responds to its needs and various client schedules when prioritizing deployments.

Steve Reinharz, CEO of AITX and RAD, emphasized the Company's current strategic direction, stating, “We are working towards growing monthly recurring revenue as we work to achieve positive cash flow.”

This announcement serves as an affirmation of the Company's commitment to enhancing shareholder value by tracking deployment statistics and revenue milestones. It underscores a strategic pivot towards operational efficiency, cost management, and revenue optimization through accelerated device deployment.

RMR is money earned from customers who pay for a subscription to a service or product. RAD’s solutions are generally offered as a recurring monthly subscription, typically with a minimum 12-month subscription contract.
