KFAR SABA, Israel, Aug. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ParaZero Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: PRZO) (the "company" or "ParaZero"), an aerospace defense company pioneering smart, autonomous solutions for the global manned and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) industry, reported today its financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Key Highlights of ParaZero's Achievements in the First Half of 2025 & Recent Updates:
Financial and Corporate Updates:
- Sales increased by 26.6% to $357,979 for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
- ParaZero raised approximately $3.1 million and $2.2 million in gross proceeds from registered direct offerings in February 2025 and August 2025, respectively
- Appointed Ariel Alon, a senior UAV executive, as company's CEO.
Counter-Drone Systems:
- ParaZero bolstered its counter-drone technology with approval from the Israeli Defense Export Controls Agency (DECA) under the Israeli Ministry of Defense approval to market DefendAir globally, targeting a high-growth market.
- Showcased DefendAir Hand-Held Net Launcher in two field tests with a select group of Israeli security and defense professionals, each demonstrating a 100% interception success rate, effectively neutralizing every fast-incoming multirotor drone threat in real-time scenarios.
- Conducted several field trials of updated configurations to provide solutions to different evolving drone threat scenarios, at the discretion of defense entities, which further strengthened its market position. The company quickly reshaped its strategy, technology, and IP assets to address one of the world's biggest commercial, homeland security, and defense challenges: the threats posed by drones.
Airdrop Systems:
- Enhanced its portfolio with successful DropAir precise airdrop system tests for critical supply delivery. Integrated with military and several commercial drones, DropAir enabled rapid autonomous and accurate supply through drones in the most challenging terrains in general, and the supplement of blood transfusions in combat specifically, as shown in a defense demo.
- Progressed to Phase II with the Israeli Ministry of Defense, focusing on delivering pilot systems for implementation and additional operational testing in various scenarios.
- Secured global marketing approvals from DECA under the Israeli Ministry of Defense for collaborations with Heven Drones and Stedicopter after full integration with their platforms.
Ariel Alon, CEO of ParaZero, commented: "As the newly appointed CEO of ParaZero Technologies, I am thrilled to lead a company with such immense potential in the rapidly growing counter-drone and defense markets. We believe that our recent successes, including securing approvals from DECA under the Israeli Ministry of Defense for the global marketing of our DefendAir counter-UAS system and achieving a 100% interception rate in live field demonstrations, position us well at the forefront of a market projected to grow from USD 3.10 billion in 2025 to USD 12.24 billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 21.62%. Our advancements in precision airdrop systems like DropAir, coupled with our strategic partnerships, demonstrate our capability to deliver cutting-edge solutions. I see tremendous potential opportunities to drive innovation and capture market share in this dynamic, high-growth sector."
First Half 2025 Financial Highlights:
- Sales totaled to $357,979 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $282,693 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was mainly attributed to the company shifting towards sales of newly developed products, mainly in the defense sector, and original equipment manufacturer integrations that contributed to a higher volume of sales rather than to the aftermarket segment.
- Cost of sales amounted to $431,888 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $209,529 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was mainly due to the increase in the volume of sales and product mix during the six months ended June 30, 2025, an inventory write-off and higher overhead costs and personnel related to the new lease for our corporate offices and headquarters.
- Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2025, amounted to $1,155,436, compared to $662,440 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase resulted mainly from labor costs due to the increased number of employees and contractors' costs.
- Selling and marketing expenses totaled $752,420 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $516,401 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase resulted mainly from labor costs and marketing services, accompanied by an increase in travel and conferences participation costs.
- General and administrative expenses totaled $1,670,513 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1,122,759 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase resulted mainly from non-cash expenses related to grants pursuant to our equity incentive plan and certain filing services.
- Comprehensive and net loss amounted to $2,295,955 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a net loss of $2,026,094 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was the result of changes in fair value of derivative warrant liabilities, along with an increase in expenses related to grants pursuant to our equity incentive plan along with an increase of operating expenses, as described above.
- Net loss per share for the six months of 2025 was $0.14 compared to net loss per share of $0.19 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
- As of June 30, 2025, the Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits were $4.86 million and approximately $6.2 million as of August 27, 2025.
