Toronto,Ontario– Deveron UAS Corp. (CSE: DVR) (“Deveron” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has released its audited financial results for the full year and fourth quarter ended December 31, 2018.
“2018 was truly a transformational year for Deveron. Our focus has been to turn Deveron into an integrated agriculture technology company that focuses on two products: data acquisition and data analytics” said David MacMillan, President and CEO. “On the data acquisition side, we announced a strategic alignment with A&L Labs adding soil data to our already robust drone data line. On the analytics side, our completion of the acquisition of Veritas, adds industry leading data intelligence helping farmers get more out of their farmland. We believe a network of scalable on-farm data acquisition services coupled with proprietary data insights, will continue to bring value to growers in North America and drive our growth in the years ahead.”
Deveron’s acquisition and operational activity have led to continued growth for its leading data operations in Canada and the United States. The closing of the Veritas Farm Management acquisition positions the company to provide data analytics for farmers in Canada and the USA. As the acquisition was completed in Q4, 2018, the Company expects a positive increase in revenue in the quarters ahead.
