Foresight Announces Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results

--News Direct--

Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd., an innovator in automotive vision systems (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX) (the “Company” or “Foresight”), today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2023. Foresight ended the first half of 2023 with revenues of $55,000 and with $17.8 million in cash, cash equivalent, restricted cash, and short-term deposits.

The Company reported a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) net loss of $6.1 million and a non-GAAP net loss of $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2023, compared to a GAAP net loss of $10.1 million and a non-GAAP net loss of $9.7 million for the second quarter of 2022, reflecting a decrease of 40% and 42%, respectively.

“At the end of the second quarter, we recorded a significant milestone with the signing of our exclusive commercialization agreement with Elbit Systems Land Ltd. (“Elbit”) (Nasdaq and TASE: ESLT),” said Haim Siboni, Foresight’s CEO. “This agreement will put our technology directly in the hands of Elbit customers in the defense, paramilitary and homeland security industries. We believe that this is an important step forward for Foresight, as well as notable validation of our technology by one of the world’s leading defense suppliers. The commercialization agreement may result in revenues of up to $4 million over a five-year contractual period.

“Foresight’s ongoing strategy of collaborating with global leading Tier One suppliers continues. During the second quarter, we signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with KONEC, a leading South Korean Tier One automotive supplier. This MOU is an important first step as we enter one of the world’s most important automotive markets, and it builds off our previous successes working with leading Tier One suppliers in Japan, China, Europe, and the United States. Tier One suppliers value the benefits of our 3D perception stereo vision solutions, and we expect this widespread interest to convert into paying customers in the coming quarters.

Second Quarter Corporate Highlights:

Foresight Secures Revenues of Up to $4 Million with Signing of Exclusive Commercialization Agreement with Elbit Systems: In July, Foresight announced the signing of an exclusive agreement with Elbit for the integration, marketing and licensing of Foresight’s image processing software solution. Foresight anticipates revenues of up to $4 million over a contractual period of five years, with minimum guaranteed revenues of $1 million over the same period. According to the agreement, Elbit will commercialize Foresight’s software solution in the form of a software license. Foresight’s solution will be offered to Elbit’s end customers as a component of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) for driving safety, as well as a solution for semi- and fully autonomous platforms used in unmanned combat and security ground vehicles in the defense, paramilitary and homeland security markets.

Foresight Signs MOU with South Korean Tier One Supplier KONEC for Cooperation in ADAS and Autonomous Driving Solutions: In June, Foresight signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with KONEC, a South Korean Tier One automotive supplier. According to the MOU, Foresight and KONEC will collaborate to develop ADAS and autonomous driving solutions, which will expand KONEC’s product offering to global customers such as Hyundai, Tesla and Magna. The MOU represents Foresight’s first entry into the thriving South Korean automotive market.

Foresight Regains Compliance with Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Rule: In early May, Foresight received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market confirming that Foresight regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Foresight can now continue its listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market, and the previous matter of non-compliance is now closed.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures of net loss for the period that exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expenses. The Company’s management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release is useful to investors’ understanding and assessment of the Company's ongoing operations. Management also uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and as such deemed it important to provide all this information to investors. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. Reconciliations between GAAP measures and non-GAAP measures are provided later in this press release.
