Strategic focus on growing deal pipeline and high-margin wins drive gross margin expansion to 35% while maintaining stable revenues and disciplined cost management across growing global customer base
FREMONT, Calif., May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Actelis Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASNS) ("Actelis" or the "Company"), a market leader in cyber-hardened, rapid deployment networking solutions for IoT and broadband applications, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.
"Our first quarter results are driven by both the continued execution of our focus on growing our pipeline for the remainder of the year, particularly in Federal, Military, our Multi-Dwelling Units business and in Intelligent Transportation, as well as on delivering improved margins and operational efficiency while working on the expansion of our presence in those key markets," said Tuvia Barlev, Chairman and CEO of Actelis. "We're particularly encouraged by our growing global footprint with this quarter seeing new orders from across the Nordic region, Hungary as well as others from the US, UK and Japan.

We are properly focused on our growth areas and are geared towards an exciting year ahead."
First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights:

-- Reduced Operating Loss: Operating loss improved to $1.81 million for the

Fiscal First Quarter 2025 Financial Results:
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025, amounted to $721,000, compared to $726,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The slight decrease was primarily due to a 31% decline in revenues from the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region. This was partially offset by a 23% increase in revenues from North America and growth in market size within the Asia-Pacific region.
Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025, amounted to $470,000 compared to $506,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to the change in regional mix of revenue with an increase in North America revenues, which are more profitable, and a decrease in Europe, Middle East and Africa revenues which are less profitable.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025, amounted to $251,000 or 35% of revenue, compared to $220,000, or 30% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to improved regional revenue mix and efficient cost management.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, amounted to $681,000 compared to $647,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a rise in the utilization of professional services.
Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, amounted to $666,000 compared to $627,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily by engaging consultants in the different regions.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, amounted to $716,000 compared to $817,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was mainly due to cost reduction measures taken.
Operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $1.81 million, compared to an operating loss of $1.87 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Financial expenses and interest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025, were $48,000 (including $34,000 interest expenses) compared to $115,000 (including $207,000 interest expenses) for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease is mainly due to repayment of loans, reducing interest expense and other bank-related charges.
Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $1.86 million, compared to net loss of $1.99 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA loss, a non-GAAP measurement of operating performance (reconciled below to Net Loss), for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $1.69 million, compared to $1.79 million in the comparable year-ago period.
