Ottawa-based C-COM Satellite Systems has extended its streak of consecutive profitable fiscal years to 11, the company said Tuesday.
For the fiscal year ending Nov. 30, 2015, the company reported total revenues of $10.4 million and an after-tax profit of $1.6 million or four cents per share. This compares with revenues of $13.2 million and an after-tax profit of $2.8 million or eight cents a share in the previous fiscal year.

Noting “worldwide interest” in the company’s SATCOM-on-the-MOVE antennas, Mr. Klein said the product will “contribute incremental revenues” and continue to be a cornerstone of its business.
