NESS ZIONA, Israel — May 15, 2019 — Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd., an innovator in automotive vision systems (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX), today reported financial results for the first quarter 2019. Foresight ended the first quarter of 2019 with \$19.3 million in cash and short-term deposits, GAAP net loss of \$3.3 million, and non-GAAP net loss for the same period of \$2.9 million.
"The year has started off on a very positive note as we demonstrated progress across all business activities, including an additional sale of our QuadSight™ prototype. Our unique technology continues to gain recognition in the autonomous vehicle industry illustrated by increased demand," commented Haim Siboni, CEO of Foresight. "In addition, our wholly owned subsidiary, Eye-Net Mobile Ltd., completed another trial of its accident prevention solution with one of Israel's largest cities as well as initial installation with a leading Israeli cellular provider. We expect this progress to continue as our recently announced capital raise of \$6.2 million will support our development efforts and marketing initiatives throughout the year."
● Cash and short-term deposits totaled \$19.3 million as of March 31, 2019, compared to \$15.7 million on December 31, 2018. The increase is attributed mainly to the public offering completed during March 2019, which amounted to approximately \$5.5 million, net.
● Eye-Net Mobile Successfully Completed Initial Integration with the Assistance of a Leading Israeli Cellular Provider: Foresight's wholly owned subsidiary Eye-Net Mobile Ltd. successfully completed initial integration by installing the Eye-Net™ application's communication layer on the data center of a leading Israeli cellular provider.
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 excludes the effect of stock-based compensation expenses, the revaluation of other investments and revaluation of derivative warrant liability, and non-GAAP financial measures of shareholders' equity that excludes the effect of derivative warrant liability and the revaluation of other investments. 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.
