Arbe Announces Q4 and Full Year 2024 Financial Results

, /PRNewswire/ -- Arbe Robotics Ltd. (NASDAQ: ARBE) (TASE: ARBE) ("Arbe"), a global leader in Perception Radar solutions, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended on December 31, 2024. Q4 and Full Year 2024 Company Highlights: Successful Capital Raise: Arbe successfully completed fundraising initiatives aimed at fortifying the company's financial position and providing long-term stability, raising a total of approximately $70 million, through the following transactions: $33 million raised through an underwritten registered direct offering, which included the exercise of a $4 million over-allotment option by the underwriters, led by Canaccord Genuity, which closed in January 2025. $21.5 million released to the Company in January 2025 from the escrow account following the conversion of convertible bonds issued on the TASE in 2024. $15 million raised in an underwritten public offering that closed in November 2024, led by Canaccord Genuity, along with $0.5 million raised in January 2025 from the exercise of warrants issued as part of the November 2024 offering. Customer Engagements: Arbe experienced significant increase in both the scale and depth of our OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) engagements in 2024. The company is currently active with 15 OEMs, 11 of which have advanced to the bid stage, and 8 have entered the advanced perception project phase. Additionally, our RFI and RFQ pipeline remains strong and is steadily expanding. Arbe's chipset was chosen by a top 10 global OEM to develop its next-generation imaging radar. Zenseact, specializing in AI and software solutions, and Arbe's tier 1 Sensrad have announced a joint exploration of 4D high-resolution imaging radar to enhance safety in automated driving. Arbe collaborated with a leading European truck manufacturer to integrate its radar chipset into the manufacturer's self-driving sensor suite. HiRain Technologies accelerated the development of an ADAS system for a Chinese OEM, aiming to replace LiDAR with Arbe's radar chipset. Sensrad signed a framework agreement to supply 4D imaging radars, powered by Arbe's chipset, to Tianyi Transportation Technology in China for vehicle-road-cloud integration technology. Collaborations: NVIDIA collaborated with Arbe to enhance radar-based free space mapping and AI-driven capabilities, Arbe's high-resolution radar integration with the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX in-vehicle computing platform was showcased at CES 2025. Horizon Robotics, a premier provider of computing solutions for ADAS and AD, presented the integration of Weifu's 4D Imaging Radar, powered by Arbe's chipset, with Horizon's Journey 6 Automotive AI processor, as part of their ecosystem at the 2024 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition. Growing Potential Market Demand: Arbe has experienced increasing interest in its radar technology from leaders in the automotive industry, as well as from emerging verticals beyond automotive, and is actively working with customers to address these opportunities. "We are excited about the progress we have made in product development and the strong industry relationships we have built in 2024," said Kobi Marenko, Chief Executive Officer. "It is now evident that hands-free, eyes-off driving requires imaging radar capabilities that we believe only Arbe and a select few other companies can provide. While the decision-making process and development timelines have taken longer than initially anticipated, we have not received negative responses or missed any opportunities, and the total addressable market continues to expand. Based on our current engagements and our ability to secure and execute contracts with leading OEMs, we estimate that by 2030, we should be able to ship approximately 5 million imaging radar chipsets to our customers. "We are also encouraged by the strong investor confidence in Arbe, demonstrated by our recent fundraising efforts, which raised nearly $70 million. This funding enhances our financial resilience, strengthens our ability to execute on our growing RFI and RFQ pipeline, and solidifies our competitive position. The continued support from investors, including AWM Special Situations Fund, one of our largest shareholders, which has now invested in Arbe's fundraising rounds for the third time, reinforces confidence in our vision and strategy. With an improved liquidity position and a clear path forward, we believe we are accelerating our trajectory toward profitability and are well positioned to drive broader adoption of our radar technology in the automotive industry," concluded Marenko. Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Highlights Revenues for Q4 2024 were $0.1 million, compared to $0.35 million in Q4 2023. Full year 2024 revenues were $0.8 million, a decrease from $1.5 million in 2023. Backlog as of December 31, 2024, represents $0.3 million. Gross margin loss in Q4 2024 was similar to the gross margin loss in Q4 2023, at a level of $0.2 million. Q4 2024 gross margin loss resulted from low quarterly revenue. Gross margin for the full year of 2024 was a $0.8 million loss compared to a $0 gross margin in 2023. Year over year gross margin reduction is mainly related to the low level of revenue and to the increase in labor cost. Operating expenses in Q4 2024 were $12.6 million, compared to $11.9 million in Q4 2023. Operating expenses for the full year of 2024 were $48.9 million, compared to $46.8 million in 2023. The increase in operating expenses was primarily a result of non-cash share-based compensation expense. Additionally, the increase in production ramp up related costs, the doubtful debt provisions, and to a lesser extent, the increase in labor cost, were offset by a decrease in research and development due to the finalization of costs related to our advanced production stage and the savings in our D&O insurance. Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $12.2 million compared to a net loss of $9.3 million in the same period of 2023. Net loss for the full year of 2024 was $49.3 million compared to a net loss of $43.5 million last year. 2024 Net loss included financial income of $0.3 million compared to $3.4 million of financial income in 2023. 2024 financial income resulted from interest deposits and warrants revaluation income partially offset by bond financing expenses Adjusted EBITDA in Q4 of 2024, a non-GAAP measurement which excludes expenses for non-cash share-based compensation and for non-recurring items, yielded a loss of $9.0 million, compared with a loss of $8.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the full year of 2024 amounted to a $33.3 million loss, a slight decrease from the $32.5 million loss in 2023. We believe that this non-GAAP measurement is important in management's evaluation of our use of cash and in planning and evaluating our cash requirements for the coming period. Balance Sheet and Liquidity As of December 31, 2024, Arbe had $24.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and in short term bank deposits. In January 2025, we further bolstered our balance sheet with gross proceeds of $54.5 million, which includes $33 million gross from an underwritten registered direct public offering and $21.5 million from the release of escrowed funds following the conversion of a portion of our outstanding convertible bonds. Outlook Arbe's leading radar technology remains a top priority for key decision-makers in the automotive industry. Recent cash infusions totaling nearly $70 million further underscore investor confidence in Arbe's market potential and growth trajectory. While broader economic shifts have led to short-term delays in automakers' roll-out of advanced driver assistance systems, decision timelines have been extended. As a result, Arbe continues to engage closely with industry leaders, advancing through RFQ stages and reinforced its position for adoption. We continue with our goal to pursue four design-ins with automakers in 2025. 2025 annual revenues are expected to be in the range of $2 million to $5 million and will be weighted towards the end of the year. We significantly strengthen our balance sheet, and adjusted EBITDA for 2025 is projected to be in the range of ($29 million) and ($35 million).
