We achieved strong results across our core verticals, namely Corrections, Energy and Logistics, and experienced growing global demand for our MultiSensor solution.

First Quarter 2025 Financial Results Summary
Revenue for the first quarter of 2025 was $8.4 million, an increase of 12.5% compared with $7.5 million in the first quarter of 2024. First quarter gross profit was $5.7 million, or 67.2% of revenue, compared with $4.5 million, or 59.6% of revenue, in the year ago quarter. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to a well-balanced product mix, component and design cost optimization and efficient cost control.
Operating expenses were $4.6 million, an increase of 2% compared to the prior year's first quarter operating expenses of $4.5 million. The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to targeting marketing and selling spend in core growth verticals, positively offset by R&D investment optimization.
Operating income for the first quarter of 2025 was $1.0 million compared to an operating loss of $73,000 in the year-ago period. The improvement is primarily attributable to increased revenue and gross margin expansion.
Financial income was $269,000 compared to $54,000 in the first quarter last year.
Net income in the first quarter of 2025 was $1.0 million, or $0.04 per share compared to a loss of ($0.7) million, or ($0.03) per share, in the first quarter of last year.
EBITDA for the first quarter of 2025 was $1.2 million versus $114,000 in the first quarter of 2024.
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term bank deposits of $22 million, or $0.94 per share as of March 31, 2025, compared with $20.6 million, or $0.88 per share, at December 31, 2024.
