Ra'anana, Israel, Aug. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rail Vision Ltd. (Nasdaq: RVSN) ("Rail Vision" or the "Company"), an early commercialization stage technology company seeking to revolutionize railway safety and the data-related market, today reported financial results for the first half ended June 30, 2025.
"Before joining Rail Vision, I recognized the company's strong technological foundation and its potential to transform rail safety and efficiency. After several months inside the organization, my confidence in that potential has only grown," commented David BenDavid, CEO of Rail Vision. "We have a talented, driven team, innovative technology, and now, with a solid cash position, we believe that we are well-positioned to expand our market reach while continuing to allocate resources to ensure we remain at the forefront of innovation in the rail industry."
First Half 2025 & Recent Highlights:
Cash position
Rail Vision began 2025 with a strengthened balance sheet, as of June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $22.4 million, compared to $17.2 million as of December 31, 2024.
Commercial Execution
| - | Initial Penetration in Central America: In early 2025, Rail Vision received a purchase order from a Central American freight operator for its MainLine system, marking continued global expansion. | |
| - | Follow-On Order from Latin America: In June 2025, the Company secured a $335,000 follow-on order from a leading Latin American mining company. The order follows a successful long-term trial of the MainLine system under challenging environmental and operational conditions. This milestone underscores Rail Vision's growing commercial traction in the region and supports the customer's broader deployment plans to enhance safety and optimize transport efficiency across its rail operations. | |
| - | Entry into Indian Market: Rail Vision signed a binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Sujan Ventures, aimed at advancing opportunities with Indian Railways, which operates thousands of locomotives across the subcontinent. Under the terms of the binding MOU, Sujan Ventures will lead local efforts to introduce Rail Vision's advanced safety systems to the Indian market. This partnership reflects Rail Vision's intent to enter one of the world's largest rail markets with its AI-driven safety solutions. | |
First Half 2025 Financial Results
| - | Revenues were $237,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of $524,000, or 69%, compared to $761,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to the timing of revenue recognition. Revenues for the first half of 2025 were mainly derived from additional installations of our Main Line Systems for Israel Railways and from services provided to existing customers. | |
| - | Research and development ("R&D") expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025, were $3,241,000, compared to R&D expenses of $2,458,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to higher salaries, reflecting both an increase in headcount and salaries, as well as the impact of the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Israeli shekel (NIS), since salaries are paid in NIS. The increase also reflects higher share-based payment expenses, mainly due to new grants of RSUs to employees during the period, and increased purchases of R&D equipment to support ongoing development activities. | |
| - | General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025, were $2,512,000, compared to $2,116,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher salaries, reflecting salary adjustments and one-time bonuses. Additional contributing factors included the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against the NIS, as a significant portion of expenses is denominated in NIS, and higher share-based payment expenses due to new RSU grants to employees. | |
| - | As a result of the foregoing, the Company's operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $5,705,000 compared to an operating loss of $4,185,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. | |
| - | Other financial income amounted to $406,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily attributable to interest income earned on short-term deposits. This compares to $1,304,000 in financial expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The change of $1,710,000 is mainly due to the full amortization of the discount related to the convertible loan credit facility entered into in January 2024, recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2024. | |
| - | GAAP net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $5,679,000, or $0.11 per ordinary share, compared to a GAAP net loss of $24,324,000, or $1.99 per ordinary share, in the six months ended June 30, 2024. | |
| - | Non-GAAP net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025, was $4,869,000 or $0.10 per ordinary share, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $5,394,000 or $0.44 per ordinary share, in the six months ended June 30, 2024. |

Balance Sheet Highlights
As of June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $22.4 million, compared to $17.2 million as of December 31, 2024. The increase compared to December 31, 2024, is mainly due to the proceeds received from issuances of ordinary shares under an equity line facility that the Company established in October 2024, an at-the-market sales facility that the Company established in April 2025 and the exercise of warrants, totalling an aggregate of $9.8 million in gross proceeds, less cash used during the first half of 2025.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Results
In addition to disclosing financial results calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the company's earnings release contains non-GAAP financial measures of net loss for the period that excludes the effect of stock-based compensation expenses and revaluation of derivatives, warrant liabilities and other. 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 on-going 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. Investors are encouraged to review the related U.S. GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these Non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the company's business. For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" later in this release. This accompanying table has more details on the GAAP financial measures that are most directly comparable to non-GAAP financial measures and the related reconciliations between these financial measures.
