Foresight Announces First Quarter 2023 Financial Results

Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd.

Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd., an innovator in automotive vision systems (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX) (“Foresight” or the “Company”), today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2023. Foresight ended the first quarter of 2023 with $21.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term deposits. The Company reported a U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) net loss of $4.6 million for the first quarter of 2023 and a non-GAAP net loss for the same period of $4.2 million. “Foresight’s industry-leading technology continued to gain momentum during the first quarter of 2023. We are particularly pleased by our achievements in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, as we began an additional important joint proof of concept (POC) project with a leading Japanese global vehicle manufacturer. Foresight Changzhou Automotive Ltd. (“Foresight Changzhou”), our fully owned subsidiary in Jiangsu Province, China, received special recognition from the China Israel Changzhou Innovation Park, and Eye-Net Mobile Ltd. (“Eye-Net” or “Eye-Net Mobile”), our wholly owned subsidiary, received its first order for the Eye-Zone™ V2X automotive system from a leading Japanese automotive manufacturer,” said Haim Siboni, CEO of Foresight. “The first quarter also saw a key breakthrough for Rail Vision Ltd. (“Rail Vision”), our affiliate, which received an order from Israel Railways for 10 Main Line Systems. We believe that these achievements for Foresight, Eye-Net, and Rail Vision demonstrate the exceptional performance of our technology, as our POC projects are in the process of converting into orders from leading organizations in the automotive, defense, and transportation industries. As we continue to prove our ability to create tailored, high-performance solutions for a diverse customer base, we expect to see increased demand,” concluded Mr. Siboni. First Quarter Corporate Highlights ● Foresight Announces POC Project with Global Japanese Vehicle Manufacturer: In March 2023, Foresight announced the signing of a paid joint POC project with a leading global Japanese vehicle manufacturer. The POC project will evaluate Foresight’s innovative solution for the automatic calibration of mono cameras. Foresight and the manufacturer will work together to develop a breakthrough solution capable of detecting when a single camera’s position has changed. The solution will also use Foresight’s proprietary software to provide real-time correction of a camera’s position while the vehicle is in motion. If successful, the POC project may provide a solution that eliminates the need for external calibration in a garage for all vehicles using mono cameras. ● Eye-Net Receives Order from Leading Japanese Vehicle Manufacturer for Eye-Zone System: In February 2023, Eye-Net announced that it received its first order for an Eye-Zone vehicle-to-everything (V2X) automotive system from a global Japanese vehicle manufacturer. The two parties will begin a paid POC project to evaluate the capabilities and added value of the Eye-Zone system as a software V2X communication layer. The POC will include the integration of Eye-Zone within the manufacturer’s advanced driver assistance system (ADAS), enabling seamless communication between vehicles and all road users. ● Rail Vision Announces $1.4 Million Agreement with Israel Railways to Sell 10 AI-Driven Main Line Systems: Rail Vision announced in February 2023 that it signed an agreement with Israel Railways for the purchase of 10 Rail Vision Main Line Systems and related services. Rail Vision’s AI-driven obstacle detection system outperformed in all aspects of testing during a POC project with Israel Railways. The total value of the agreement is expected to be $1.4 million. ● Israeli Ministry of Defense Recognizes Foresight Technology as Significant Breakthrough: During the first quarter of 2023, the Israeli Ministry of Defense recognized Foresight’s QuadSight® stereovision solution as a significant technological breakthrough for defense applications. The Administration for Research and Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure of Israel’s Ministry of Defense tested the QuadSight solution extensively for more than two years in challenging weather and environmental conditions. Foresight’s passive stereo technology was tested as an alternative to replace active LiDAR sensors, and the solution exceeded all testing requirements. ● Foresight Changzhou Wins Outstanding Enterprise Award: In February 2023, Foresight announced that Foresight Changzhou won the Outstanding Enterprise in International Cooperation award from China Israel Changzhou Innovation Park. Foresight received this award in recognition of its significant contribution to international cooperation in the region, and the company was one of five to win the award, out of nearly 200 companies in the China Israel Changzhou Innovation Park. ● Eye-Net Launches Virtual Sensor for Automotive Industry at CES 2023: Eye-Net showcased its new collision prediction system, Eye-Zone, at CES 2023 in Las Vegas. Eye-Zone uses Road Users Detection and Ranging (RUDAR), a unique virtual sensor that provides a point cloud of the real time location, movement characteristics, and probability of collision with each road user around the vehicle. ● Foresight Introduces Groundbreaking Mono2Stereo™ Solution at CES 2023: In January, Foresight presented a live demonstration of its Mono2Stereo software-based solution at CES 2023. Mono2Stereo uses the overlapping views of existing cameras with different fields of view to create a three-dimensional stereovision. First Quarter 2023 Financial Results Revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023, amounted to $55,000, compared to $35,000 in the first quarter of 2022. The revenues were generated primarily from the successful completion of a POC project with a global Japanese vehicle manufacturer, as well as the completion of the first milestone of Eye-Net’s POC project for the Eye-Zone system from a leading Japanese vehicle manufacturer. Research and development (R&D) expenses, net for the first quarter of 2023, were $3,119,000, compared to $2,692,000 in the first quarter of 2022. The increase is attributed mainly to an increase in payroll and related expenses, primarily due to an increase in engineers within the R&D department. R&D expenses, net in the first quarter of 2023, are offset by participation from the European Horizon 2020 program in the amount of $133,000. Sales and Marketing (S&M) expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $704,000, compared to $624,000 in the first quarter of 2022. The increase is primarily attributed to an increase in exhibitions, conventions and travel expenses. General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the first quarter of 2023 were $857,000, compared to $1,188,000 in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease is primarily attributed to a decrease in payroll and related expenses and to a decrease in professional services and share-based payments to service providers. Finance income, net for the first quarter ended March 31, 2023, amounted to $60,000. Finance income, net, is attributed primarily to gains from revaluation of the Company’s investment in Rail Vision to its fair value in the amount of $122,000, as well as from interest on deposits in the amount of $210,000, offset by exchange rate differences and other expenses in the amount of $272,000. GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $4,586,000, or $0.014 per ordinary share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $2,024,000, or $0.006 per ordinary share, in the first quarter of 2022. Non-GAAP net loss for the first quarter of 2023 was $4,241,000, or $0.013 per ordinary share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $1,527,000 in the first quarter of 2022, or $0.004 per ordinary share. A reconciliation between GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss is provided following the financial statements that are part of this release. Non-GAAP results exclude the effect of share-based compensation expenses. Balance Sheet Highlights Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term deposits totaled $21.7 million as of March 31, 2023, compared to $26.5 million as of December 31, 2022 GAAP shareholder’s equity totaled $24.6 million as of March 31, 2023, compared to $28.8 million as of December 31, 2022. The decrease is attributed to the net loss for the period. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures of net loss for the period that exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expenses. The Company’s management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release is useful to investors’ understanding and assessment of the Company's ongoing operations. Management also uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and as such deemed it important to provide all this information to investors. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. Reconciliations between GAAP measures and non-GAAP measures are provided later in this press release. About Foresight Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd.

NexWafe

NexWafe GmbH (NexWafe) today announced it secured €30M to accelerate the construction of its first commercial-scale facility in Bitterfeld, Germany to fabricate the company’s green solar wafers. The funds come from NexWafe’s current group of investors, including Reliance New Energy Limited, Aramco Ventures and ATHOS Venture GmbH, as well as new investors, including the Honorable Malcolm Turnbull AC and Keshik Capital, led by Alex Turnbull. NexWafe anticipates raising additional funding in the second half of this year. Davor Sutija, CEO of NexWafe, commented: “This investment marks the start of NexWafe’s plan to raise substantially larger funds in the second half of 2023. The funds will be used to break ground on NexWafe’s first commercial facility to speed the renewable energy transition with more efficient, lower cost, green solar wafers for the world’s photovoltaic manufacturers.” In parallel, NexWafe has agreed to work with Aramco Ventures on a future green solar wafer manufacturing facility in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The collaborative agreement will include participation from the firm’s $1.5 billion Sustainability fund. NexWafe’s unique, patented green solar wafer manufacturing solution simplifies polysilicon production and reduces energy use and production time. This results in drastically lowered production costs for n-type monocrystalline wafers used for the majority of high-performing solar modules. The company’s novel manufacturing method delivers wafers that are engineered to the requirements of each customer and already achieving parity with commercially available Czochralski (CZ) wafers. Providing an opportunity to optimize the performance a chosen cell design enables solar cell makers to ultimately deliver higher efficiencies. NexWafe’s process supports urgent U.S. and European efforts to re-shore domestic solar wafer manufacturing and cell production by increasing supply-chain sourcing diversity and resilience. The NexWafe process also reduces CO2 emissions, resulting in a solar-energy supply chain that is genuinely green. About NexWafe GmbH NexWafe GmbH designs, develops, and pilots a proprietary process to produce ultra-thin, high efficiency, monocrystalline green solar wafers to make photovoltaics more sustainable and efficient. Fully compatible with conventional solar cell manufacturing, NexWafe offers a 70% reduction in energy consumption during manufacturing. NexWafe’s continuous, direct gas-to-wafer manufacturing process also minimizes waste, resulting in wafers that are 30% less expensive than conventional wafers. NexWafe’s in-line, ultra-scalable process shatters cost down roadmap barriers and inherently supports the industry’s extraordinary growth as the transition to solar power accelerates worldwide. The company was spun out from Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE in 2015 and is a member of the Ultra Low-Carbon Solar Alliance, Solar Power Europe, and the European Solar Manufacturing Council.
