Financial highlights
Via a news release, Draganfly reported Q3 2025 revenue of C$2,155,993, marking a 14.4 per cent year-over-year increase, driven by a 22.1 per cent rise in product sales to C$1,622,286. Despite the revenue growth, gross profit declined by 4.5 per cent to C$420,947, with a gross margin of 19.5 per cent, down from 23.4 per cent in Q3 2024. Excluding a one-time non-cash inventory write-down of C$43,337, gross profit would have been C$464,284 with a margin of 21.5 per cent.
The company posted an adjusted comprehensive loss of C$3,579,510, not including non-cash items such as a negative change in fair value derivative of C$1,837,618 and an impairment gain on notes receivable of C$35,461. Including these items, the comprehensive loss totalled C$5,425,004, compared to C$3,771,250 in Q3 2024. The year-over-year change was attributed to gains in foreign exchange and reduced professional fees, offset by increased office, employee, and share-based expenses.
Draganfly’s cash balance surged to C$69.88 million as of September 30, 2025, up from C$6.25 million at the end of 2024, bolstered by a C$25 million registered direct offering to institutional investors. This funding is expected to accelerate product innovation and acquisition strategies.

Second major telecom order
In a significant development, Draganfly secured a second purchase order from a Fortune 50 telecommunications company. Under this agreement, the company will deliver multiple Commander 3XL drones integrated with Unmanned Systems & Solutions Inc.’s (USaS) LEAP tether system. This marks a major expansion and standardization of the telecom giant’s NDAA-compliant drone fleet, aimed at bolstering emergency management and post-disaster telecommunications support.
“Our LEAP tethered system was built for agencies and operators who require extended-duration aerial assets,” Paul Corry, Chief Executive Officer of USaS, explained in a media statement. “Partnering with Draganfly allows us to bring this capability to a proven, mission-ready platform and expand the impact of tethered operations in both emergency response and communications maintenance.”
The LEAP tethered system enables persistent aerial operations by providing continuous power and high-bandwidth data connectivity, significantly enhancing mission endurance and resilience. This integrated solution is tailored for critical-mission environments, including disaster recovery, infrastructure restoration, and first-responder support.
Looking to the horizon
With a robust cash position, expanding defense and commercial partnerships, and a growing portfolio of NDAA-compliant drone technologies, Draganfly is well-positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the rapidly evolving drone and unmanned systems market.
