Second Quarter 2024 Results

(Comparisons are to the second quarter of 2023 unless otherwise noted)

Revenues for the second quarter of $24.4 million increased 22.4% compared to $19.9 million in the prior year quarter, primarily driven by strength in Aeronautics, Safety Tech and Automotive.

Gross profit for the second quarter of $6.6 million increased 64.0% compared to $4.0 million in the prior year quarter. Gross margin for the second quarter increased to 27.0% compared to 20.2% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher revenues across a fixed cost base and product mix benefits in Aeronautics, Safety-Tech and Architecture.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter were $14.5 million, up 13.0% compared to $12.8 million in the prior year quarter, mainly due to an increase in headcount and investments to support growth, partly offset by a decrease in professional services, subcontractor and material expenses and other services. Total operating expenses include research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses.

Net loss for the second quarter of $23.1 million compared to $18.8 million in the prior year quarter, mainly due to an increase in operational expenses and financial expenses partly offset by an increase in gross profit.

Non-GAAP Adjusted net loss for the second quarter of $7.8 million compared to $8.9 million in the prior year quarter, with the improvement primarily attributable to higher gross profit partly offset by higher operating expenses.
