Intermap Announces Filing of 2020 Annual Results

Posted in CartoNews

DENVER, March 31, 2021 — (PRNewswire) —Intermap Technologies (TSX:IMP[1]) (OTCQX:ITMSF[2]) ("Intermap" or the "Company"), a global leader in geospatial intelligence solutions, today filed its audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, the annual management discussion and analysis for the corresponding period, related management certifications of annual filings and its annual information form. The documents are available on SEDAR atwww.sedar.com[3].

Consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 totaled $4.7 million, compared to $10.1 million for 2019, reflecting the disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic. The decline was expected and due entirely to delayed government contracts given the economic environment resulting from the pandemic. Approximately 71% of consolidated revenue was generated outside the United States, compared to 41% for 2019.

Net income improved from a loss of $4.8 million to income of $26.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, due to the gain on the modification of debt of $32.1 million, offset by the reduction in revenue discussed above.

In a year that was filled with global business disruption, Intermap achieved significant milestones necessary to grow the business. With the elimination of $33.9 million notes payable and the rebuilding of the government pipeline, the Company is well-positioned for growth. Intermap...

Utilis launches MasterPlan for water utility asset management

Posted in CartoNews

TEL AVIV, Israel, March 30, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Utilis, the global leader of satellite-based actionable data for water utilities, announced the launch of their latest product, MasterPlan. This comes only one week after receiving a major investment of $6M by Beringea, as part of Utilis' strategy to release multiple products into infrastructure verticals in 2021. An evolution of the same technology used to find leaks underground using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors, MasterPlan provides actionable insights to utility asset management plans.

Based on five years and thousands of validated Utilis leak location points of interest, the new MasterPlan algorithm assesses the deficiency of an entire pipe system using multiple SAR images taken months apart. The trained algorithm scores pipe segments based on observed non-surfacing leaks and provides a single GIS dataset of pipes scored from one to five (level of deficiency observed) for easy input into any GIS system or asset planning model.

In times of limited budget and resources, MasterPlan gives water utilities a look beneath the ground for decisions on future repair or replacement. Utilis worked with industry leaders in asset management modeling to seamlessly integrate the dataset into their risk model calculations. The GIS format of MasterPlan allows it to be read into any GIS or GIS-based software with ease.

"Leveraging a sensor-based...
