Insights

Financial Analyst

Q3 results show a significant shift in Ondas' business dynamics. The company secured $14.4 million in drone platform orders, marking its largest bookings quarter ever, but revenue declined to $1.5 million vs $2.7 million year-over-year. The gross margin deteriorated to 3% from 21%, while net losses widened to $9.5 million.

The cash position is concerning at $2.9 million, down from $15 million in December 2023. While the company raised $3.55 million post-quarter, the burn rate remains high. The strong order book, particularly in military drone systems, provides future revenue visibility but execution and cash management will be crucial.

Defense Technology Analyst

The $9 million in orders for Iron Drone Raider and $5.4 million for Optimus System from a major military customer represents a strategic breakthrough. These orders validate Ondas' counter-drone technology in the critical defense sector. The Iron Drone Raider's positioning as a "hard kill" solution addresses an urgent military need amid growing drone threats globally.

The deployment scope covering military bases, border protection and critical assets suggests potential for significant follow-on orders. The IIA grant further supports product enhancement, strengthening market position.

BOSTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / November 12, 2024 / Ondas Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ONDS) ("Ondas" or the "Company"), a leading provider of private industrial wireless networks and commercial drone and automated data solutions through its Ondas Networks and Ondas Autonomous Systems (OAS) business units, reported financial and operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

"Ondas had a strong quarter operationally marked by the receipt of significant orders at OAS and deeper engagement with railroad customers at Ondas Networks," said Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas Holdings. "OAS secured multiple orders totaling $14.4 million for our Iron Drone Raider and Optimus System drone platforms from a major military customer. This signals our entry into military markets and establishes our Iron Drone Raider system as a third revenue-generating technology platform in Ondas' portfolio. Ondas Networks is benefiting from increased visibility on Class I railroads' network plans and realized a significant milestone, with distribution partner Siemens securing an order from Metra, a transit rail operator serving passengers in Chicago.

"At Ondas Networks, we believe Metra's order for a system-wide upgrade of the 900 MHz wireless network to the new A-block with the jointly developed next-generation Advanced Train Control Systems (ATCS) platform confirms that Ondas Networks and Siemens have established a comprehensive deployment and migration plan to support adoption of the dot16 wireless standard by railroads in North America. That was further demonstrated during Q3 with Siemens' receipt of an additional order from a Class I Railroad for an expansion of an existing live 900 MHz network, also in Chicago. In short, we are demonstrating the robustness of the dot16 standard as we start 900 MHz upgrades in Chicago - the most complex railroad wireless environment in the country.

"Our exceptional efforts at OAS are translating into significant results as we have positioned the Iron Drone Raider system as a leading candidate to own the category for ‘hard kill' counter-uncrewed autonomous system (UAS) infrastructure. In addition, our Optimus System will now be deployed to secure military bases and border checkpoints, demonstrating the exceptional capabilities of this market-leading system in high value security markets. We see growing demand for aerial security and inspection from ‘drone-in-a-box' systems. As we scale with customers for military and public safety drone-as-a-first-responder (DFR) security applications with Optimus, we see evidence that security officials and project managers in military, public safety and critical industrial markets are increasingly appreciating OAS' ability to satisfy the most demanding requirements to secure and protect high value assets and locations."

Brock concluded, "Ondas remains in a strong position, with leading technology platforms addressing large, high value end markets and increased evidence of customer acceptance across both business units. Indeed, the third quarter represented the largest bookings quarter in Ondas' history. Further, we raised $10.5 million in capital between Ondas Holdings and our business units during both the third quarter and fourth quarter-to-date, demonstrating continued investor support. Our top line revenue has been delayed, mainly due to 900 MHz timeline extensions with Ondas Networks rail customers, and supply chain and market-related issues stemming from the Gaza conflict in Israel. Nonetheless, a strengthening order book and customer pipeline at OAS as well as improving engagement with the railroad customers at Ondas Networks bodes well for our outlook. I expect a strong end to 2024 and am optimistic about our ability to drive significant growth in 2025."

Third Quarter 2024 and Recent Highlights - Ondas Networks

• Generated approximately $445,000 in revenue during the third quarter of 2024.

• Secured $3.0 million in capital from Charles & Potomac Capital LLC (Charles & Potomac) in the third quarter and fourth quarter-to-date.

• Siemens secured a purchase order from Metra, the primary commuter rail system serving the Chicago metropolitan area, for Airlink dot-16 compliant wireless systems to upgrade the legacy 900 MHz ATCS network and migrate the network to the new 900 MHz A-block.

• Siemens secured a purchase order from a Class I rail operator for Airlink dot-16 compliant wireless systems to expand the final programs in advance of an expected upgrade of the legacy 900 MHz ATCS network and migration to the new 900 MHz A-block in Chicago.

• Achieved key development milestones, including the provision on initial prototype radios with our partner Siemens in the 220 MHz radio program on behalf of an Amtrak-sponsored upgrade to its Advanced Civil Speed Enforcement System (ACSES), a Positive Train Control (PTC) system utilized by passenger and transit, as well as certain freight rail operators in the Northeast Corridor (NEC). Product development is expected to be completed in Q1 2025, and commercial deliveries are slated for Q2 2025.

• Advanced development program for on-locomotive radios designed for European rail markets.

• Announced that Markus Nottelmann, an accomplished executive with significant railroad operations and financial experience, joined Ondas as a Senior Advisor and board member of Ondas Networks.

• Continuing engagement with MxV Rail regarding improved network operations and 802.16t applications. This work includes the Base Station Controller which enables the dynamic sharing of spectrum resources in 802.16t networks and a major testing program related to the use of 802.16t for next-generation HOT/EOT systems.

• Demonstrated the use of 802.16 in the 900 MHz band to support the Interoperable Train Control Messaging (ITCM) protocol with multiple railroads and ecosystem vendors. ITCM is the primary transport for PTC messaging and 900 MHz provides an alternate path to improve network reliability and availability. Applications such as PTC, which were previously restricted to the 220 MHz network, can now be supported by the new 900 MHz network, adding resiliency, redundancy and diversity to critical railroad operations.

• Preparing for field trial by a Class I railroad in November to host ITCM over 900 MHz; a program which is being planned for expansion upon successful field activity.

• Submitted proposals for network equipment and development programs upon request from rail vendors for dot16 wireless network systems in international markets.

• Entered into a platform agreement with KLEAR Inc., a provider of working capital financing. Ondas Networks secured an initial $500,000 short-term working capital loan secured by customer invoices during October.

• Partnered with Siemens to exhibit at the Railway Systems Suppliers Inc. (RSSI) show in Louisville, Kentucky and hosted a subsequent "Demo Day" for key customers which featured a variety of general-purpose applications supported by an 802.16t wireless network. Demonstrations included the hosting of ITCM messaging over the new 900 MHz band, which can be deployed to eliminate single points of failure and support critical PTC redundancy of the 220 MHz network for train operating and safety systems.

• Submitted written testimony to members of the U.S. House of Representatives in advance of a hearing on rail safety matters held by the U.S. House of Representatives' Transportation Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines and Hazardous Materials. The letter to the subcommittee was written in support of the Railroad wireless technology roadmap and the new 900 MHz network and its potential to support improved train safety and operations.

Guy Simpson, Ondas Networks President and Chief Operating Officer, commented, "Ondas Networks' visibility from our railroad customers is improving with respect to plans for the new 900 MHZ network. This is highlighted by the order received by Siemens from Metra for a planned system-wide 900 MHz upgrade to support their passenger operations in Chicago. The Metra order was followed by the expansion of a 900 MHz network for a Class I railroad, also in Chicago, that has been in live operation for nearly a year.

"In addition, we continue to see expanding application and network opportunities for our dot16 software defined networking capabilities. We advanced the PTC data radio program on behalf of Amtrak, which included delivering initial prototype radios. We also are engaged with the American Association of Railroads (AAR) on solutions shaping for next-generation Head-of-Train and End-of-Train (NGHE) systems as the industry seeks to enhance operational and safety systems supporting the operations of long trains. We believe Ondas Networks is well positioned to support the next-generation NGHE - targeted for the 450 MHz frequency band - and intended to improve the system supporting the safe operations of long trains."

Simpson concluded, "As we work to secure network buildout timelines and orders, we believe we have greater visibility into the freight railroads' roadmap plans for the 900 MHz A-block. We now expect the new 900 MHz network to serve as both a primary network for next-generation ATCS and Centralized Train Control (CTC) protocols, as well as a backup for CTC and PTC running ITCM protocols native to the 220 MHz network. This architecture, with inherent redundancy and the support of multiple applications on 900 MHz demonstrates the value of the dot16 wireless standard. We will continue to work closely with Siemens and railroad customers to support deployments in the 900 MHz network and to improve visibility in terms of orders and buildout plans for 2025."

OAS President Meir Kliner commented, "OAS had a pivotal quarter as evidenced with bookings of over $14 million for our Optimus and Iron Drone systems via multiple orders from a major military customer. These orders came as a result of our continuous efforts to leverage the core advantages of our ‘built for purpose' platforms which include market-leading functionality and reliability. As we expand the markets for our dual-use platforms, we expect to benefit from strengthening demand as the world responds to both the value and potential threats of drones deployed in defense, public safety, and critical infrastructure markets.

"We are seeing significant interest in global defense markets for the Iron Drone Raider system and engagement from specific military customers. The Iron Drone Raider system is emerging as a best-in-class, 'hard kill' counter drone solution addressing the urgent need for protection from hostile drones. Similarly, demand for Optimus is strong in both defense and security markets and our customer pipeline is maturing. As we move forward, we are investing to expand our operating infrastructure to support what we believe will be an increase in orders and system deliveries in the months and quarters ahead for both Iron Drone and Optimus."

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Revenues were approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily the result of delays in order activity for product sales at Ondas Networks, partially offset by increases at OAS as we started to fulfill the new purchase orders received in the quarter.

Gross profit was approximately $0.05 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was approximately 3% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 21% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This is due to the change in the mix of revenues in the third quarter of 2024, which included development projects with lower gross margins as compared to product revenue with higher gross margins in the third quarter of 2023, as well as certain fixed costs related to OAS service delivery. At this time, gross margins may be variable on a quarter-to-quarter basis due to low revenue levels and shifts in revenue mix between product, development, and services revenues.

Operating expenses were approximately $8.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to approximately $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Cash operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were approximately $7.1 million, as compared to approximately $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Cash operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024, exclude non-cash operating items during the period, including $1.3 million in depreciation and amortization, and $0.3 million of stock-based compensation expense. For the three months ending September 30, 2023, cash operating expenses excluded $1.3 million in depreciation and amortization and the reversal of $2.3 million of stock-based compensation expense because of employees leaving the company before the stock awards vested. Cash operating expense is a non-GAAP financial measure.

The Company realized an operating loss of approximately $8.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Net loss was approximately $9.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to a net loss of $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA loss was approximately $7.1 million, as compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.

The Company held cash and restricted cash of approximately $2.9 million as of September 30, 2024, as compared to approximately $15.0 million as of December 31, 2023.

The Company expects to fund its operations from the cash on hand as of September 30, 2024, proceeds from financing activities, gross profits generated from revenue growth, potential prepayments from customers for purchase orders, potential proceeds from warrants issued and outstanding, and additional funds that the Company may seek through equity or debt offerings and/or borrowings under additional notes payable, lines of credit or other sources.

Subsequent to September 30, 2024, the Company raised an additional $3.55 million of capital which included $3.5 million via a convertible note at OAS, a transaction led by Privet Ventures and Charles & Potomac. Privet Ventures is an investment vehicle owned by Ondas' CEO Eric Brock.

Operational and Financial Outlook for 2024
The Company expects a recovery in revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2024 driven primarily by the OAS business unit as the Company fulfills backlog, which includes military orders secured in the third quarter. Revenue expectations for Ondas Networks are modest in the fourth quarter of 2024, and limited to funded development programs, given the current visibility on deployment plans in the 900 MHz network which point to growth in 2025.

Bookings and revenue growth are expected to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter given the uncertainty around the timing of customer activity in front of the targeted commercial rollout for the 900 MHz rail network, the development programs underway with Siemens, in addition to the timing of OAS's deliveries of the Optimus and Iron Drone systems to its growing roster of customers globally.

Lastly, Ondas has requested an additional 180-day compliance period from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of US$1.00 per share under Nasdaq's Listing Rule 5550 (a) (2).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
As required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), we provide reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and cash operating expenses, non-GAAP financial measures, contained in this press release to the most directly comparable measure under GAAP, which reconciliations are set forth in the table below.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and cash operating expenses facilitate analysis of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be reflective of, or are unrelated to, the Company's core operating performance, and may assist investors with comparisons to prior periods and assessing trends in our underlying businesses. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and cash operating expenses differently, and therefore our measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and cash operating expenses should only be used as supplemental measures of our operating performance.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA improves comparability from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest and financing expenses), asset base (depreciation and amortization), tax impacts and other adjustments as set out in the table below, which management has determined are not reflective of core operating activities and thereby assist investors with assessing trends in our underlying businesses.

We believe that cash operating expenses is useful to manage expenses as it excludes non-cash items (depreciation expense, amortization expense and stock-based compensation expense) that may obscure our underlying business performance.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and cash operating expenses in making financial, operating, and planning decisions and evaluating the Company's ongoing performance.

Forward-Looking Statements
