Table 1 This chart sets out the unaudited quarterly income for the Company with the increasing contribution of the Recurrent Income based on AllSight Cloud and connectivity products.

Elsight Limited (ASX: ELS) (Elsight or the Company) , the carrier agnostic, AI-powered connectivity solutions company, is pleased to provide the following Business Update , outlining the Company’s achievements over the first quarter of 2024.

Continued growth and Dramatic Burn Rate Reduction

Although Q1 2024 ended at a similar level to the previous quarter (Q4/23), it is important to keep in mind that the level of over $600k was more than a 200% increase from the previous quarters. Furthermore, Q1 traditionally is expected to be lower than year-end Q4. This important fact shows that the sales level that occurred in Q4 2023 was not a one-time occurrence but has essentially set a new baseline milestone.

Elsight’s Burn Rate in Q3/24 was $788K. In Q4/23, the burn rate went down to $409K (-48%). During Q1/24 it went further down to $175K USD (-77% versus Q3/23 and –57% versus Q4/23)

==> picture [110 x 31] intentionally omitted <==

Beginning in October 2023, a noteworthy increase in demand and new use cases in the HLS and defense sectors contributed to better-than-expected revenues during the first quarter.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company enjoyed continuously increasing demand for robust and reliable communications in the defense and homeland security sectors. It is important to mention that from the feedback received from various customers, Elsight’s Halo is the ideal product for many organizations in the Defense and HLS sectors requiring available, robust, reliable communications. In addition to the fit in unmanned aerial systems, so too does the Halo answers many of the market requirements in unmanned ground systems (UGS) and mission-critical communication scenarios.

The Company’s management sees this interest from the Defense and HLS sector expanding in 2024, in parallel to its current efforts in the commercial sectors. As a result, the Company has implemented strategies to leverage these new use cases to penetrate similar defense and HLS organizations globally.

Although the overall quarterly revenue is slightly lower (-$8k) than the previous quarter (Q4/23), the revenue portion from the Defense and HLS sector has risen, quarter-after-quarter, at 57% higher from Q4/23.

The Company's Design-Win partners are showing continued development, scale, and loyalty.

  • DroneUp, a world-leading U.S.-based drone delivery company serving the retail giant Walmart, signed on two additional well-known US retail customers, 7-11 and Chick-fil-A, with these deliveries supported by Elsight’s Halo.

  • Speedbird Aero, a drone manufacturer in Brazil, wa s the first company in Latin America certified to transport essential medical items such as disease and blood tests, organs for transplant, and vaccines.

  • Censys Technologies announced the launch of the Sentaero 5 drone enabling beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations through cellular connectivity and remote ID compliance, supported by the Halo.

In addition to the above, a total of 47 Design-Win partners have submitted repeat orders during the quarter ( +330% over the last quarter); most of them were delivered, and the Company has booked a healthy backlog of orders expected to be delivered during the second quarter of 2024.

The Company’s business development effort continues.

During the quarter and subsequent to the quarter-end date, the Company received a grant from the Israel Ministry of Economy and Industry (“Smart Money" program) to develop the Company’s business in APAC. In addition, the Company has started an advanced integration with a Tier 1 defense contractor in the U.S. This integration is scheduled to be completed during the second quarter of 2024.

Increasingly number of use cases in law enforcement, first responders, and HLS

The success of the strategy taken after Q4/23 of applying the wider set of use cases to defense organizations globally has been validated via revenue growth. In situations such as natural disasters (e.g. wildfires, flooding, earthquakes) or law enforcement scenarios (e.g. hostages, search and rescue, crowd or traffic control), the transmission of real-time video and data providing exact situational awareness can be critical. The transmission of this video via either drones or other types of systems like cameras is exactly what Elsight’s Halo does best (it performs reliably and robustly).

Corporate

Cash at the bank on 31 March 2024 totalled US$2,529K. Payments to related parties and their associates during the quarter totaled US$42K, comprising Directors’ fees.

Authorised for release by the Board of Directors of Elsight Limited.
