Senstar Technologies Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results

Finanznachrichten News

OTTAWA, Ontario, April 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Senstar Technologies Corporation (successor to Senstar Technologies Ltd.) (NASDAQ: SNT), a leading international provider of comprehensive physical, video and access control security products and solutions, today announced its financial results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023. Management will hold an investors' conference call later today (at 10 a.m. Eastern Time) to discuss the results.

Full Year 2023 Business Summary:

(Full year 2023 results compared to the comparable twelve-month period of 2022, except as mentioned.)

  • Revenue of $32.8 million with gross margin of 58% versus $35.6 million with gross margin of 61%
  • Net loss of ($1.3) million versus net income of $3.8 million; EBITDA loss of $(0.3) million compared with positive EBITDA of $2.9 million
  • Ended 2023 with a cash balance of $14.8 million and no debt, on par with the cash balance as of December 31, 2022, of $14.9 million
  • Successful launch of MultiSensor, a groundbreaking AI-based intrusion detection system

Fourth Quarter 2023 Business Summary:

(Fourth quarter 2023 results compared to the comparable three-month period of 2022, except as mentioned.)

  • Revenue of $8.9 million with gross margin of 57% versus $9.9 million with gross margin of 57%
  • Net income of $0.4 million versus net income of $3.5 million; EBITDA of $0.5 million versus EBITDA of $1.2 million
  • Wins in key verticals drove growth in EMEA, APAC and LATAM in the quarter

Mr. Fabien Haubert, Chief Executive Officer of Senstar Technologies, stated, "In 2023, we took measures to address regions where we had negative growth by reinforcing our local leadership. We concluded the year on a stronger note than we began, as our revenue increased in the second half by 20%, while operating expenses decreased quarter by quarter, culminating in improved profitability in the fourth quarter compared to prior quarters in the year. Recently, we successfully completed the process of redomiciling from Israel to Canada, enabling us to streamline our corporate structure and empower our Canadian team to lead Senstar forward. We will continue to invest resources to increase market share across key regions, particularly in the Americas, Europe and APAC, while intensifying efforts to excel in the utilities, corrections, energy and logistics verticals. These efforts will be instrumental in achieving our objectives and driving sustained success for Senstar Technologies in the coming year."

Mr. Haubert continued, "Introduced in 2023, our new AI-based intrusion detection system, the MultiSensor, enhances Senstar's competitive position in the marketplace and will increase our addressable market. We anticipate sales starting in fall 2024."

Full Year 2023 Financial Results Summary

Revenue for 2023 was $32.8 million, a decrease of 7.8% compared with $35.6 million in 2022. The decrease in annual revenue was primarily due to the completion in 2022 of a one-time project in Asia.

Gross profit was $18.8 million, or 57.5% of revenue, for 2023 compared with $21.5 million, or 60.5% of revenue, in 2022. The decrease in gross margin was due to our revenue mix primarily in the first quarter of 2023 and some increases in material costs. During the fourth quarter measures were taken to improve gross margin.

Operating expenses were $20.1 million, an increase of 0.5% compared to the prior year's operating expenses of $20.0 million. The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to one-time exceptional expenses necessary to streamline the business for our future business requirements and our redomiciliation to Canada, partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses compared to the 2022 period.

Operating loss for 2023 was ($1.3) million compared to operating income of $1.5 million in the year-ago period.

Financial expense of $64,000 in 2023 compared to financial income of $141,000 in the year-ago period.

Loss from continuing operations was ($1.3) million in 2023 compared to income from continuing operations of $4.0 million in the prior year.

Net loss in 2023 was ($1.3) million, or ($0.06) per share, versus net income of $3.8 million, or $0.16 per share, in 2022. The current period includes no impact from discontinued operations compared to a net loss from discontinued operations of ($0.2) million in 2022.

EBITDA from continuing operations for 2023 was a loss of ($0.3) million versus positive EBITDA from continuing operations of $2.9 million in 2022.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Results Summary

Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $8.9 million, a decrease of 9.8% compared with $9.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Fourth quarter gross profit was $5.1 million, or 56.6% of revenue, compared with $5.6 million, or 56.6% of revenue, in the year ago quarter.

Operating expenses were $4.8 million, an increase of 2.2% compared to the prior year's fourth quarter operating expenses of $4.7 million. The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable due to one-time exceptional expenses necessary to streamline the business for our future business requirements and our redomiciliation to Canada, partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses compared to the 2022 period.

Operating income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $0.3 million compared to $0.9 million in the year-ago period. The decrease in operating income is primilarily attributable due to the one-time exceptional expenses to streamline the business.

Financial income was $34,000 compared to $277,000 in the fourth quarter last year.

Net income in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $0.4 million or $0.02 per share versus $3.5 million, or $0.15 per share in the fourth quarter of last year.

EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $0.5 million versus EBITDA of $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Cash and cash equivalents and short term bank deposits of $14.9 million, or $0.64 per share, as of December 31, 2023, compared with $15.1 million, or $0.65 per share, at December 31, 2022.
