First Quarter 2024 Business Summary:

 

(First quarter 2024 results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the comparable three-month period of 2023, except as mentioned. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were for the Company’s predecessor, Senstar Technologies Ltd.)

 

 

 

 

 

Mr. Fabien Haubert, Chief Executive Officer of Senstar Technologies, stated, "We successfully completed the process of redomiciling to Canada in this first quarter, enabling us to streamline our corporate structure and empower our Canadian team to lead Senstar forward. We delivered strong first quarter results compared to the first quarter of last year, including revenue growth of 17%, higher gross margin, and positive EBITDA. Importantly, the growth was derived across most of our geographic regions and in our four key verticals. Recent leadership appointments, particularly in sales, and the actions we took to realign resources are having a clear and positive impact on our business. We intend to maintain our focus on continuous improvement across our key metrics for the remainder of 2024.”

 

Mr. Haubert continued, "Preparations for the launch of MultiSensor, our new AI-based intrusion detection system, are progressing according to schedule and we anticipate sales to begin in the fall of this year. The MultiSensor not only expands our addressable market but also provides us with a tremendous competitive advantage in asset protection. We are increasingly encouraged by the level of customer engagement and positive feedback we are receiving ahead of the launch.”

 

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results Summary

 

Revenue for the first quarter of 2024 was $7.5 million, an increase of 17% compared with $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2023. First quarter gross profit was $4.5 million, or 59.6% of revenue, compared with $3.6 million, or 55.7% of revenue, in the year ago quarter. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to a shift in product mix and price adjustments in the fourth quarter of 2023.

 

Operating expenses were $4.6 million, a decrease of 15% compared to the prior year's first quarter operating expenses of $5.3 million. The decrease in operating expenses is primarily attributable to streamlining of the corporate structure and realignment of resources.

 

Operating loss for the first quarter of 2024 was ($73,000) compared to ($1.7) million in the year-ago period. The improvement is primarily attributable to increased revenue, higher gross margins and lower operating expenses both on a dollar basis and as a percentage of revenue.
