Conference Call Scheduled for Today at 8:30 a.m. ET

MARLBOROUGH, MA / ACCESSWIRE / April 1, 2024 / Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS) ("Ondas" or the "Company"), a leading provider of private industrial wireless networks and commercial drone and automated data solutions, reported financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and the full year ended December 31, 2023.

"Ondas entered 2024 in a strong position with customers, on the heels of generating record revenue of $15.7 million in 2023, which was a 7-fold increase versus 2022," said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas Holdings. "This growth was realized across both our Ondas Networks and Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS) business units and demonstrates the transition to commercial adoption of our world class technology platforms. We expect to see continued growth for the full year in 2024 though we may experience variability quarter over quarter, as Ondas Networks drives commercial deployments across the 900 MHz network with the Class I rails, and as OAS continues to see market penetration globally with the Optimus System and the Iron Drone Raider counter-UAS platform gains traction in defense markets."

"At Ondas Networks, the endorsement in March 2023 from the Association of American Railroads (AAR) in selecting the IEEE 802.16t standard for the new 900 MHz network is a culmination of years of dedication and underscores the value of our 'dot16' capabilities and the talent within the Ondas team. Collaborating with Siemens, we are in the late stages of integrating the enhanced Advanced Train Control System (ATCS) systems and dot16 network with multiple railroads, paving the way for anticipated commercial volume orders and deployments in 2024. Lastly, we see increasing demand for dot16 wireless solutions in new rail networks, as well as passenger and transit markets both domestically and internationally, which sets an optimistic outlook for future business wins on top of the 900 MHz opportunity.

"In 2023, our OAS business unit thrived, surpassing expectations with a revenue of $9.0 million, propelled by the Airobotics acquisition. Engaged in deploying autonomous drone fleets for critical aerial security and data services in urban settings, we foresee substantial growth in this sector in 2024 and beyond driven by a strong foothold in existing markets, particularly in the United Arab Emirates, and poised for further penetration in the US market, where we leverage a growing customer pipeline evidenced by American Robotics with the successful MassDOT Aeronautics programs. Lastly, we eagerly anticipate the commercial debut of our Iron Drone Raider counter-UAS platform driven by a burgeoning demand cycle, starting with our previously disclosed collaboration with defense companies and military forces, which we aim to leverage into global security and defense markets.

Brock concluded, "We believe we have a strong year ahead which will be marked by 900 MHz deployments, and other new business wins at Ondas Networks and the scaling of Optimus System deployments at OAS. We believe OAS is well positioned now with investments in US marketing poised to pay off, and the Iron Drone product cycle adding another high growth vector to the business. Strategically, we believe the recently announced formation Ondas Autonomous Holdings (OAH), a ‘drone holding company', will provide operating and financial flexibility allowing Ondas to reduce our cost of capital and continue to invest in attractive, large high growth UAS markets. We are entirely focused on scaling our world class technology platforms and driving shareholder value in 2024 and, of course, over the long-term."

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Revenues increased to approximately $5.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. The more than 10-fold increase in revenues was primarily a result of higher product sales and development revenue compared to the prior-year period.

Gross profit increased to approximately $1.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues decreased to approximately 35% for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to 56% for the three months ended December 31, 2022, as a result of lower margin products and slowed down development revenues.

Operating expenses decreased to $14.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $34.8 million in three months ended December 31, 2022. The drop in operating expenses was primarily due to the recognition of a $19.4 million non-cash charge of goodwill impairment in 2022, and decreased R&D activity.

Operating loss narrowed sharply to approximately $12.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $34.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. Operating loss decreased primarily as a result of an increase in gross profit and the goodwill impairment recognition in 2022. Net loss narrowed to approximately $14.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to a net loss of approximately $38.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to approximately $7.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $12.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is provided in the attached financial tables.

Full Year 2023 Financial Results

Revenues grew to approximately $15.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of 638% compared to approximately $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in revenue was primarily due to increased commercial adoption of the Optimus System in several core markets, as well as record product revenues at Ondas Networks.

Gross profit increased almost 6-fold for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. Gross margins were compressed to approximately 41% for the year ending December 31, 2023, as compared to 52% for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Operating expenses narrowed sharply to approximately $46.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to approximately $70.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The largest component of the decrease in operating expenses was due to the one-time non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $19.4 million, which was recognized fully in 2022. In addition, research and development cost decreased to $17.1 million during 2023 from $24.0 million in 2022. Sales and marketing activity increased 71% for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, as Airobotics increased sales activity following the receipt of the FAA Type Certification for the Optimus System. Included in these figures are (i) non-cash charges, including depreciation, amortization, impairment of right of use asset and leasehold improvements of $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, (ii) impairment of long-term equity investment of $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, and (iii) stock-based compensation, all totalled $10.0 million in 2023 and $9.9 million in 2022.

The Company's operating loss narrowed to approximately $39.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to a loss of approximately $69.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Operating loss decreased primarily as a result of the aforementioned decrease in operating expenses and the $19.4 million goodwill impairment charge. Net loss narrowed to approximately $44.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to a net loss of $73.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The Company realized an Adjusted EBITDA loss narrowed to approximately $29.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $40.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is provided in the attached financial tables.

The Company held cash and cash equivalents of approximately $15.0 million as of December 31, 2023, as compared to approximately $29.8 million as of December 31, 2022. The decline in cash and cash equivalents is primarily a result of operating expenses incurred and $5.5 million of cash used to repay debt in the year ended December 31, 2023. This use of cash was offset by $24 million in cash proceeds through the sale of convertible notes and Ondas Networks preferred stock in the third quarter of 2023. Subsequent to December 31, 2023, the Company raised $8.6 million through the sale of common stock and Ondas Networks preferred stock. Pro forma for these financings and net of transaction expenses, the Company would have had $23.4 million of cash as of December 31, 2023.

Operational and Financial Outlook for 2024

The Company expects to generate significant revenue growth for the full year 2024 driven by growing customer activity in both business units with orders and backlog increasing throughout the year. Bookings and revenue growth are expected to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter given the uncertainty around the timing of customer activity in front of the targeted commercial rollout for the 900 MHz Rail network, the development programs underway with Siemens and MxV Rail, in addition to the timing of OAS's deliveries to the UAE and its growing roster of customers in the United States.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

As required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), we provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, the non-GAAP financial measure, contained in this press release to the most directly comparable measure under GAAP, which reconciliation is set forth in the table below.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA facilitates analysis of our ongoing business operations because it excludes items that may not be reflective of, or are unrelated to, the Company's core operating performance, and may assist investors with comparisons to prior periods and assessing trends in our underlying businesses. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, and therefore our measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should only be used as supplemental measures of our operating performance.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA improves comparability from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest and financing expenses), asset base (depreciation and amortization), tax impacts and other adjustments as set out in the table below, which management has determined are not reflective of core operating activities and thereby assist investors with assessing trends in our underlying businesses.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA in making financial, operating, and planning decisions and evaluating the Company's ongoing performance.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements made in this release that are not statements of historical or current facts are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We caution readers that forward-looking statements are predictions based on our current expectations about future events. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Our actual results, performance, or achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including the risks discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" discussed under the caption "Item 1A.

Risk Factors" in Part II of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise that occur after that date, except as required by law.
