Elsight Limited Preliminary final report Directors' report 31 December 2023

‘Design-Win’ strategy contributing to continued product scalability

  • ➢ In H2 , Elsight enjoyed a sharp increase in the demand for dependable communications of data and video in the homeland security, military, and defense sectors. Customers came from the IDF and other large defense contractors, including DDR&D (the equivalent of DARPA in the U.S.). The Company’s management sees this trend continuing and expanding in 2024 by applying a wide range of new use cases to adjacent markets such as global homeland security, border control, and defense markets.

New product features and developments

Elsight continued to innovate during 2023 and introduced several major product features:

  • H1/23 was dedicated to the Remote ID (RID) being incorporated on all Halo devices to align with United States Federal Aviation Administration (US FAA part 89) requirements. Having this compliance will ease the certification process for our partners while saving them costs by eliminating the need for additional dedicated hardware. The Halo RID capability was recently accepted by the FAA and it adheres to the FAA’s accepted RID-ASTM-F3586-22-NOA22-01 Means Of Compliance (MOC).

  • ➢ In H2/23 , Elsight unveiled a Global version of its Halo drone communications system, which will allow operators to fly anywhere in the world without the need for equipment replacement to accommodate different cellular systems and operators.

In addition, the Company is constantly investing in enhancing its portfolio security with an innovative product roadmap of transformative new products and features.

2023 An inflection point of growth

The Company continued to enjoy YoY growth in revenues from US$823K in 2022 to US$1,541K in 2023, a growth of 87%. Gross margin remained the same in 2023 at 53%. Recurring revenue increased in 2023 by 463% at US$411K versus US$73K in 2022.

This acceleration is due to Elsight’s proprietary data communication and cloud services as more Halos are being deployed with new and existing customers. Market growth is also boosted by the Halo’s scalability, enabling more drones to fly concurrently by one operator and reducing the dependency on personnel. The number of new customers acquired in 2023 (51) for a grand total of 115 Design Wins.

As the uncrewed market grows, Elsight profits

As the market continues to mature and the rate of adoption grows, the impact of the increasing recurring revenues will become more and more material. The growth came from both existing as well as new customers.

Taking all the Design-Wins that have been previously reported with new ones constantly added throughout 2023, the recurring revenue growth continues to validate the Company’s strategy to win increased market share through new DesignWin partners, growing together as they expand their business throughout various vertical markets.

Accounting policy for contract liabilities – deferred revenue

Accounting policy for contract liabilities – Israel Innovation Authority government grant

Contract liabilities represent grant proceeds received in excess of expenses incurred for which the grants are intended to compensate.

The fair value of the liability recognised on inception has been determined based on the net present value of convertible note contractual cashflows using a discount rate of 17%. The difference between the fair value of the liability component and the face value of convertible notes has been recognised in equity on inception and will be recorded to profit or loss as effective interest over the life of the convertible notes. Transaction costs incurred in relation to the convertible note have been recognised pro-rata against the liability and equity components.

Accounting policy for convertible notes

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received, net of transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The component of the convertible notes that exhibits characteristics of a liability is recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position, net of transaction costs.

On the issue of the convertible notes the fair value of the liability component is determined using a market rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond and this amount is carried as a non-current liability on the amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or redemption. The increase in the liability due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost. The remainder of the proceeds are allocated to the conversion option that is recognised and included in shareholders equity as a convertible note reserve, net of transaction costs. The carrying amount of the conversion option is not remeasured in the subsequent years. The corresponding interest on convertible notes is expensed to profit or loss.
