Conference Call Scheduled for Today at 8:30 a.m. ET

 

Waltham, MA – May 11, 2022 – Ondas Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ONDS) (“Ondas” or the “Company”), a leading provider of private wireless, drone and automated data solutions through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Ondas Networks Inc. (“Ondas Networks”) and American Robotics, Inc. (“American Robotics” or “AR”), reported financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2022.

 

“The first quarter marked another period of solid progress as we continue to execute on our key priorities and prepare for expected growth in orders and revenue across our business segments in 2022 and beyond,” said Eric Brock, Ondas’ Chairman and CEO. “Our work at Ondas Networks this quarter continued to reflect our transition from market development to platform delivery. We successfully delivered the second launch order to a Class I railroad, while beginning the initial, pre-order field work with an additional Class I railroad and working with contract manufacturers to ensure we are in a strong position to execute on the anticipated purchase orders over the course of the year. At American Robotics, we made notable headway executing on our initial customer installations. We advanced our strategic initiatives, including growing our patent portfolio and establishing critical relationships with vendors to establish a reliable supply chain ahead of our expected growth. We also recently expanded our FAA approvals for automated drone operations at seven additional sites and completed the acquisition of Ardenna, a leading provider of rail infrastructure monitoring solutions, which we believe enhances American Robotics’ ability to penetrate rail markets with our Scout System™.

 

“As we enter the second half of 2022, we expect to gain traction in the field across all segments. The progress we are making today gives us confidence that we will be able to meet our customers’ expectations and deliver best-in-class, end-to-end technology platforms for mission critical data applications. With a strong balance sheet, industry-leading talent and field-proven products, we remain steadfast in our ability to execute on our growth strategy and, ultimately, deliver long-term shareholder value.”

We delivered on our previously announced 900 MHz launch order and continued our work with a third Class I railroad in preparation for a substantial 900 MHz launch order. We completed the selection of contract manufacturers in advance of expected volume purchase orders, and we continued to leverage our Rail Lab to facilitate the standardization of major rail communication networks in North America.

 

“While we continue to execute on deliveries and invest in a foundation suitable for growth, we are also accelerating our business development efforts. During the week of May 16th, we’ll be with Siemens at the annual RSSI exhibition in Kansas City to further showcase our next-gen MC-IoT wireless platform to the Rail industry.

First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

 

Revenues were $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decline in revenue was primarily a result of the prior-year period having higher revenue from development agreements, offset by an increase in revenue generated from products and maintenance, service, support and subscriptions compared to the prior-year period.

 

Gross profit was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The decrease in gross profit was a result of the decline in development revenues. Gross margin was 29.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to 52.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

Operating expenses increased to $10.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $3.5 million in three months ended March 31, 2021. The rise in operating expenses was primarily due to the acquisition of American Robotics, including increases in compensation expense, depreciation and amortization and research and development expenses.

 

The Company realized an operating loss of $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Operating loss grew primarily as a result of the aforementioned increase in operating expenses and decline in revenues. Net loss was $9.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to a net loss of $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

The Company held cash and cash equivalents of $32.1 million as of March 31, 2022, as compared to $40.8 million as of December 31, 2021. The decline in cash and cash equivalents is primarily a result of ongoing investments in both segments to prepare for growth.

Reaffirmed Financial and Operational Outlook for 2022

 

Ondas is reaffirming its financial and operational outlook for 2022. Ongoing investments in market expansion and deeper penetration of select verticals are expected to support commercial adoption of Ondas Networks’ FullMAX wireless platform and additional installations of AR’s Scout System™ in 2022.

 

Ondas Networks will continue to focus on the greenfield 900 MHz network with North American Class I Rails. Ondas Networks expects bookings and revenue growth to accelerate as the Company moves through the year with a target of $20 million in product bookings in 2022. In addition, Ondas Networks expects to add an additional $3.5 million in product development programs with its partners in 2022. In the second quarter of 2022, Ondas Networks intends to continue building product inventory and increasing internal human resources to meet an expected increase in product demand for both North American Rail and International markets.

 

Also, the Company expects American Robotics to secure and announce additional franchise customers for the Scout System™ in 2022. Throughout 2022, AR will continue to build inventory to meet this customer demand. In parallel, American Robotics will continue to invest in and scale its field service operations to create capacity to handle expanded drone deployments with existing customers and to support new customer activity. Scout System™ deployments will focus on a select group of blue-chip customers in the oil & gas, mining, bulk materials, and rail sectors in the coming quarters. AR is targeting 30 Scout Systems™ installed by year end 2022 allocated to 10 customer accounts, and its objective is to secure one or more customer reorders to begin fleet expansion. In parallel, American Robotics will continue to invest in data analytics products targeted at these customers and their respective markets.

 

The Company’s cash operating expenses are expected to be approximately $7.0 – $7.5 million in the second quarter and may trend up over the course of 2022. Cash operating expenses exclude non-cash expenses, such as stock-based compensation and amortization of intangible assets and goodwill.

 

The Company expects bookings and revenue growth to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter given the timing of development activity in front of the targeted commercial rollout for the Rail 900 MHz network, the multiple development projects planned with Siemens Mobility and the integration and scaling of American Robotics business.
