Ramat Gan, Israel, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Odysight.ai Inc. (NASDAQ/TASE: ODYS), a leader in AI-powered visual sensing and predictive maintenance (PdM) solutions for the aerospace, defense, and industrial markets, today announces its financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and provides a business update.

Key Highlights

• Backlog¹ of $14 million as of March 31, 2026, providing revenue visibility into 2026 and the following years.
• Cash balance² of approximately $21.8 million as of March 31, 2026, debt free.
• Received two pilot orders from a major Defense customer for monitoring applications on an operational combat helicopter, and monitoring of a critical component within an airborne weapons system. Both orders are in active deployment.
• Entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst (NAWCAD), part of the U.S. Navy, to advance AI-driven visual sensing and condition-based maintenance operations. Focusing initially on carrier arresting cables. The project is set to be delivered in the coming months. Once completed, it has the potential for expansion into global land based arresting cables, fixed and rotary wing aircraft, ground vehicles, and additional platforms (May 2026).
• Partnered with XP Services for the first U.S. flight testing of Odysight.ai AI-powered Predictive Maintenance System on a Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk Helicopter, the primary medium lift helicopter for the U.S. Army, advancing domestic certification and commercialization pathways. First flights scheduled to start in the coming weeks.
• Initial Industrial Predictive Monitoring Systems delivered to European customers and now operational, pursuant to our agreement with a leading European provider of industrial sensing and monitoring solutions.
• Signed a Commercial Collaboration Agreement with GACI Technologies to expand AI-powered predictive maintenance solutions into the French Aerospace and Defense market, broadening Odysight.ai’s European commercial footprint (April 2026). Aiming to receive initial POs within 2026.
• Completed dual listing on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE), expanding access to Israeli and international investors and broadening the Company’s shareholder base (April 2026).

Yehu Ofer, Chief Executive Officer of Odysight.ai commented:

“Our main customers operate in, or directly support, some of the most mission-critical and operationally demanding environments globally. While this dynamic resulted in a timing impact on our Q1 revenues, driven by some key defense partners in Israel and the United States prioritized mission-critical activities, we view this primarily as a short-term timing effect on backlog conversion rather than any change in underlying demand. We remained fully operational globally throughout last months’ conflict, continuing to execute across our global programs while further expanding our commercial activity in core target markets.

The increased operational intensity, extensive load and burn out on platforms and people, continues to reinforce the global growing need for our solutions and the underlying attractiveness of our products. The strategic progress we made during and immediately following the quarter underscores our continued momentum and the strength of our relationships with our customers. Our core business remains strong and we are therefore confident in our ability to achieve our business targets for 2026 and beyond."

Einav Brenner, Chief Financial Officer of Odysight.ai added:

"Our Q1 2026 revenues were impacted by the timing of purchase orders execution, which we view as temporary and not indicative of the underlying growth trajectory of the business. We expect these orders to be delivered in the coming months, resulting in a revenue profile that is geared towards year end. Despite these challenging geopolitical dynamics, our gross margin remained approximately 26%, consistent with prior periods and reflecting the inherent strength of our product economics.

Operating expenses of approximately $5.4 million were slightly above the prior year period, driven primarily by the continued expansion of our global sales and marketing activities as we build commercial infrastructure in the United States and Europe. We view this investment as strategic and appropriate given the magnitude of the opportunity, while we continue to manage all cost lines with discipline, taking into consideration the adverse effect of the strengthening of the Israeli shekel against the U.S. dollar during the period. In parallel, we have taken active steps to improve organizational efficiency and adaption of AI tools, which we expect to be reflected in our H2/2026 results.

We ended the quarter with approximately $21.8 million in cash, no debt, and a backlog of $14 million. As delayed purchase orders convert in the coming quarters and operational efficiencies begin to take effect, we expect our financial performance to increasingly reflect the underlying momentum and progress of the business.”

¹ Backlog is measured and defined differently by companies within our industry. We refer to “backlog” as our booked orders based on purchase orders or hard commitments but not yet recognized as revenue. Backlog is not a comprehensive indicator of future revenue and is not a measure of profitability. Orders included in backlog may be cancelled or rescheduled by customers. A variety of conditions, both specific to the individual customer and generally affecting the customer’s industry, may cause customers to cancel, reduce or delay orders that were previously made or anticipated. Projects may remain in backlog for extended periods of time.
² Including cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash.

Financial highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Revenues were $82 thousand, compared to approximately $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to Q1 2025 full derecognition of the contract liability associated with a Fortune 500 medical company customer, in the amount of $1.7 million and additional decrease of our vision-based solutions for PdM and CBM due to certain delays caused from the global geopolitical situation.

Backlog¹ was $14 million as of March 31, 2026.

Cost of Revenues was $61 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in cost of revenues is consistent with the decrease in revenues.

Gross Profit was $21 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to gross profit of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting a gross margin of approximately 26% in both periods.

Operating expenses were approximately $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to approximately $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by the expansion of the Company’s operations, enhanced global selling and marketing activities, including efforts to penetrate new markets and verticals and increase product visibility, increase in share-based compensation and effect of the USD/NIS exchange rate.

Net loss was approximately $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to approximately $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Cash Balance² as of March 31, 2026 was approximately $21.8 million.

Backlog

We present our results of operations in a way that we believe will be the most meaningful and useful to investors, analysts, rating agencies and others who use our financial information to evaluate our performance. Backlog is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, and is not intended to be a substitute for any GAAP financial measures, including revenue or net income (loss), and, as calculated, may not be comparable to companies in other industries or within the same industry with similarly titled measures of performance. In addition, backlog should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Therefore, backlog should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or in isolation from, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
