TEL AVIV, Israel, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Arbe Robotics Ltd. (NASDAQ:ARBE) (TASE: ARBE) ("Arbe"), a global leader in perception radar solutions, today announced financial results for its first quarter, which ended March 31, 2025.
Scaling Up Toward High-Volume Production:
- Arbe made significant progress toward design wins with leading European OEMs, securing orders for radar systems to support advanced data collection programs. The OEMs' data collection program is one of the final steps in the automotive sourcing process. The company expects that its radar technology will serve as a key enabler for high volume 2028 passenger vehicle platforms, with revenue projected to begin in 2027. Arbe's strong financial position is expected to support the program's execution.
- In April, HiRain Technologies, Arbe's Tier 1 in China, launched a production-intent long-range imaging radar system, the LRR615, powered by Arbe's high-performance chipset. Engineered for ultra-high resolution and reliable performance in all weather and lighting conditions, the LRR615 is tailored for the Chinese autonomous driving market and marks a pivotal step toward industrial-scale deployment.
- Sensrad, Arbe's Tier 1 for non-automotive sectors, placed an order for over a thousand imaging radar chips to serve multiple customers across a range of applications, underscoring both confidence in the platform and growing commercial traction. These developments reflect tangible progress toward an expected launch of the Sensrad radar system later this year.
Expanding Strategic Collaboration:
- Arbe launched a collaboration with NVIDIA to enhance radar-based free space mapping and AI-driven capabilities. Arbe's high-resolution radar integration with the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX in-vehicle computing platform was showcased at CES 2025.
Capital Raise:
- In January 2025, Arbe successfully raised $33 million through an underwritten registered direct offering, which included the exercise of a $4 million over-allotment option by the underwriters, led by Canaccord Genuity. In addition, in January 2025, $21.5 million was released to the company from the escrow account, following the conversion of convertible bonds issued on the TASE in 2024.
Management Comments
"We're excited by the progress we've made this quarter as we scale toward high-volume production," said Kobi Marenko, Chief Executive Officer. "We secured radar systems orders for data collection from leading European OEMs, marking a key step toward a design win and reinforcing our position on the path to OEM selection. In parallel, the launch of HiRain's LRR615 system, successfully industrialized using our chipset, demonstrates our Tier 1s' ability to bring Arbe-powered products to market. Sensrad's growing demand across non-automotive applications, evidenced by chipset orders, further expands our market reach and signals their readiness for mass production.
"These milestones highlight the depth of our technology, the strength of our partnerships, and the maturity of our execution. Backed by a solid balance sheet, we are well-positioned to lead the transition to ultra-high-resolution radar across both automotive and non-automotive markets."
First Quarter 2025 Financial Results Highlights
Revenues for Q1 2025 were $0.04 million, compared to $0.1 million in Q1 2024. Backlog as of March 31, 2025 amounted to $0.25 million.
Gross profit for Q1 2025 was negative ($0.3) million, consistent with the negative gross profit of ($0.3) million in Q1 2024.
Operating expenses in Q1 2025 were $13.1 million, compared to $12.5 million in Q1 2024. The increase was driven primarily by a one-time expense related to our continued efforts to finalize chip design toward production, most notably tape-outs. A decrease in non-cash share-based compensation expenses, related to vesting period finalization was offset by year over year provision adjustments.
As a result, our operating loss in Q1 2025 was $13.4 million, compared to a $12.8 million loss in Q1 2024.
Net loss in Q1 2025 was $13.8 million, compared to a net loss of $12.8 million in Q1 2024. Net loss in Q1 2025 included $0.5 million in financial expenses, compared to $0.05 million in Q1 2024. Financial expenses in Q1 2025 included expenses related to bond conversion and derivative liabilities partially offset by interest from deposits and warrants revaluations. Financial expenses in Q1 2024 included exchange rate revaluation expenses offset by interest from deposits and warrants revaluations.
Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measurement which excludes expenses for non-cash share-based compensation and for non-recurring items, for Q1 2025, yielded a loss of $9.7 million, compared with a loss of $8.5 million in Q1 2024. We believe that this non-GAAP measurement is important in management's evaluation of our use of cash and in planning and evaluating our cash requirements for the coming period.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity Highlights
As of March 31, 2025, Arbe had $36.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and short- term bank deposits, and $35.2 million in long-term bank deposits.
Outlook
Arbe's leading radar technology remains a top priority for key decision-makers in the automotive industry. Recent cash infusions totaling nearly $70 million further underscore investor confidence in Arbe's market potential and growth trajectory.
- While broader economic shifts have led to short-term delays in automakers' roll-out of advanced driver assistance systems, decision timelines have been extended. As a result, Arbe continues to engage closely with industry leaders, advancing through RFQ stages and reinforced its position for adoption. We continue with our goal to pursue four design-ins with automakers in 2025.
- 2025 Annual revenues are expected to be in the range of $2 to $5 million and will be weighted towards the end of the year.
- We significantly strengthened our balance sheet, and our adjusted EBITDA for 2025 is projected to be in the range of ($29 million) and ($35 million).
