June 2019 Quarterly Report

Highlights

  • Revenue for the quarter ended 30 June 2019 of US$340,000, reflecting the seasonal and current project by project nature of revenue as well as the Company’s shift in focus towards HALO commercialisation

  • Aggressive sales and conversion of successful proofs-of-concept (POC) expected to deliver material revenues and a strong 4Q 2019

  • New contracts signed and existing customers have placed further orders, demonstrating ongoing customer satisfaction and further validating Elsight’s technology

  • Multiple HALO POC trials to be secured in the coming weeks

  • Cash as of 30 June 2019 was US$2.2 million, providing sufficient funding, based on projected forward revenues and planned expenditures, for at least the next 12 months

Elsight Limited (ASX: ELS) (‘Elsight’ or ‘the Company’), a company that develops advanced hybrid communication technologies for real-time data, video and audio transmission over cellular networks in mission-critical environments, is pleased to provide an operational and financial update for the quarter ended 30 June 2019.

Focus squarely set on HALO commercialisation

For the quarter ended 30 June 2019, revenue was US$0.34m, with the softer result in line with the seasonal and “project by project” nature of the Company’s past revenue profile and the attractive form factor and positioning of Halo causing some large orders to be delayed until Q4/2019 in anticipation of the arrival of this new generation platform. The result also reflects the Company’s significant shift in focus towards the commercialisation of HALO, involving a ramp up in the final testing, logistics, marketing and sales activities intended to secure and successfully deliver paid proofs-of-concept (POC) ahead of aggressive sales starting in 4Q 2019. In line with this, the company is planning for a substantively different revenue profile commensurate with an OEM sales model in Q4.

Two new defence contracts signed, extending African footprint

In May, the Company signed two new open-ended defence contracts for the provision of its cellular transmission technology to the armies of two African countries. Elsight has already received first orders from both armies, of approximately US$150,000 each which reflect initial testing quantities. Upon success of these initial deployments of its products in the field, the Company looks forward to ongoing business under these contracts. The armies will be supplied with several Rider system vehicle kits, WaveT-R handheld devices, and Multichannel Backpacks

to enhance on-the-move data and video connectivity for ground soldiers and drone operators in the respective armies, further extending the Company’s presence and activity in Africa.

Repeat orders from existing customers provides further strong validation

In July, Elsight delivered its third instalment of ten Smart Medicase kits to French company Alrena Technologies under the large-scale, 50-unit order announced in December 2018. In total, the order is worth ~US$500,000, with the remaining 20 units to be delivered in 2019, and is pursuant to the three-year, EUR 6 million partnership agreement signed in 2017.

The Smart Medicase kits are handheld emergency telemedicine kits, outfitted with Elsight’s innovative Multichannel technology enabling medical professionals to provide life-saving treatment in rural and remote areas. Alrena has already secured significant investment in support of a ramp up of its sales, marketing and distribution activities in France, providing a useful leading indicator for continuing repeat orders to meet demand from its customers.

Elsight also received a further order from one of Israel’s largest defence companies, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), for another eight systems. This is the second order from IAI for Elsight’s Multichannel technology within the framework of expanding the scope of the proof-ofconcept with a focus on unmanned systems and robotics. As Israel’s leading manufacturer of aerospace, aviation and military systems, this account remains a key revenue generation focus for Elsight, not only for existing product sales, but from the potential to integrate HALO as well.

Further orders were also placed for three additional systems under the ongoing paid POC with multi-billion-dollar company Shufersal Ltd (SAE:TLV). Shufersal is utilising Elsight’s Rider technology to secure the transportation of commercial goods. This takes the current total number of systems ordered to five, with the potential to expand this to larger-scale commercial orders across Shufersal’s transportation and logistics network upon the successful completion of the trial.

The repeat orders from these existing customers and expanded scope of POCs, demonstrate the high level of ongoing customer satisfaction and further validation of the Company’s technology.

HALO poised for commercialisation

The Company has also significantly advanced commercial discussions with multiple parties and is on the cusp of signing several paid POC trials for its HALO technology in the coming weeks. Elsight anticipates it will be well positioned to convert successfully completed POC trials into sales in 4Q 2019, and a full commercialisation update will be provided to shareholders accordingly.

Sufficient funding for at least the next 12 months

Elsight had US$2.2 million in cash at 30 June 2019, providing it with sufficient funding, based on projected forward revenues and expenditures, for at least the next 12 months.
