Foresight Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results

NESS ZIONA, Israel, March 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd., (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX) (“Foresight” or the “Company”), an innovator in 3D perception systems, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

Foresight had revenues of $436,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and ended the year 2024 with $7.2 million in cash, cash equivalent and restricted cash. Since the beginning of 2025, the Company has secured an additional $4.75 million in financing, mainly through the sale of securities in Eye-Net Mobile Ltd. (“Eye-Net”), which we believe has strengthened the Company’s financial position.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company reported a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) net loss of $11.1 million, a 39.5% decrease from a GAAP net loss of $18.4 million reported for the same period in 2023.

Foresight reported a GAAP net loss of $3.1 million for the fourth quarter 2024, compared to $3.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, and a non-GAAP net loss of $2.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $3.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. A reconciliation between GAAP net loss and non-GAAP net loss is provided in the financial statements that are part of this release.

"The fourth quarter of 2024 was a transformative period for Foresight, marked by significant strategic agreements and technological advancements across multiple industries,” commented Haim Siboni, Chief Executive Officer of Foresight. “From launching our cutting-edge stereoscopic sensor kits to securing major collaborations in autonomous tractors, smart parking, and artificial intelligence-driven mobility solutions, we have reinforced our leadership in 3D perception technology.”

“We are pleased to report progress in our strategic collaboration with KONEC Co. Ltd. (“KONEC”) in South Korea. Our ongoing co-development efforts have established a strong foundation for commercializing our advanced 3D perception solutions. We anticipate substantial revenue opportunities from this collaboration and are committed to contributing to South Korea's continued technological leadership in the autonomous vehicle sector.”

“Additionally, Eye-Net, Foresight’s wholly owned subsidiary, made important strides in the European market through its agreement with Software République, with key players such as the Renault Group and Orange S.A., advancing the deployment of its vehicle-to-everything (“V2X”) collision prevention solution to enhance urban mobility and road safety.”

“Furthermore, we believe that our alignment with the expected U.S. regulatory support and federal framework for autonomous vehicles underscores the long-term potential of our technology. With commercial agreements projecting millions in potential future revenue and potential joint ventures on the horizon, Foresight is well on its way to shaping the future of autonomous mobility and industrial automation," concluded Siboni.

In addition, as a Foreign Private Issuer, Foresight is not required to file or publish its first and third quarter financial results, and does not intend to do so in 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results

In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures of net loss for the period that exclude the effect of stock-based compensation expenses. The Company’s management believes the non-GAAP financial information provided in this release is useful to investors’ understanding and assessment of the Company's ongoing operations. Management also uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business internally and as such deemed it important to provide all this information to investors. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated. Reconciliations between GAAP measures and non-GAAP measures are provided later in this press release.
