Coda Octopus Group Reports $906k Engineering Services Order

ORLANDO, FL, July 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coda Octopus Group, Inc. (“CODA” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: CODA), a global market leader in 4D/5D/6D imaging sonar technology for real time subsea intelligence and cutting-edge diving and communications technology, today reported that its Salt Lake City based Defense Engineering Services Business, Coda Octopus Colmek, recently received one of the orders that had been expected and delayed during the first six months of fiscal 2024. This order has a contract value of $906k and relates to one of the programs that it has been servicing for over 25 years.

Annmarie Gayle, CODA’s Chairman and CEO, commented: “I am very pleased to see some of the barriers we have experienced in respect of Defense procurement budgets being removed and that we have recently received this significant order which we have been anticipating since our first quarter. Deliveries under this contract will span the remainder of 2024. The Engineering Business is an important part of our Group, and we continue to execute against our strategy to restore this Business to its pre-COVID $10m revenue profile and this is one step in the right direction”.

About Coda Octopus Group, Inc.

The Company, founded in 1994, is an established supplier to the Underwater/Subsea market. It supplies a range of hardware and software solutions to this market which includes key proprietary real time 4D/5D/6D imaging sonars, marketed under the name Echoscope^® and Echoscope PIPE^® addressing the underwater imaging sensor market along with new generation diving technology, Diver Augmented Vision Display (DAVD) system. The Company’s Echoscope PIPE^® sonar generates real-time 3D/4D/5D images of moving objects underwater including in zero visibility water conditions. The Echoscope^® technology is used globally for numerous applications in both the commercial offshore market and defense underwater markets. Applications for the Echoscope^® technology include complex mapping underwater, subsea intervention, subsea asset placements, salvage and recovery, search and rescue, offshore renewables cable installations and surveys, marine construction, subsea infrastructure installation, mining applications, robotics (3D Perception and Depth), breakwater construction and monitoring, decommissioning, diving applications and port and harbor security.

The recently launched new generation of diving technology, DAVD, has the potential to change the way global diving operations are performed (both in the Defense and Commercial space) because it is a fully integrated singular system for topside control and fully connected diver HUD system, allowing both the topside and diver to share a range of critical information and visualize the same underwater scene. Furthermore, the DAVD integrates the Company’s sonar technology, which allows dive operations to be performed in zero visibility conditions, a common problem that besets these operations.

The Company also includes two discrete Defense engineering businesses Coda Octopus Martech Ltd (UK based) and Coda Octopus Colmek, Inc. (US based) whose primary business model is to supply sub-assemblies into broader mission critical programs in the capacity of sub-contractors to the Prime Defense Contractors. Their scope of supply under these programs typically includes concept, design, prototype, manufacturing, and post-sale support. This gives them the opportunity to have repeat orders for these sub-assemblies through the life of these programs.
