Management Comment
Commented Mr. Ori Gilboa, CEO of SaverOne, "2025 to-date has been a solid period of growth for SaverOne, driven especially by international expansion. In particular, we are expanding our global footprint by winning new deals with the international subsidiaries of long-standing customers, in line with our global expansion strategy."
Continued Mr. Gilboa, "Our sensor solution to detect vulnerable road users (VRUs) such as pedestrians and cyclists, built upon our RF ADAS technology is also gaining further traction. We continue to engage in discussions with OEMs and tier-one suppliers, and in June we signed a preliminary agreement with a leading European-based automotive-technology ADAS provider, integrating our VRU detection solution within their ADAS sensor fusion platform, enhancing their sensor platform with non-line-of-sight VRU detection capabilities."
Concluded Mr. Gilboa, "Looking ahead, I am increasingly optimistic. I believe we are at a growth inflection point as we expand internationally, bringing an increasing number of fleets under the SaverOne protection umbrella."
Recent Developments in the First Half of 2025
- SaverOne Broadened its relationship with Cemex in a number of countries in Europe including Germany, Spain, Czech Republic and others. The continued expansion into new Cemex fleets demonstrates the effectiveness of SaverOne's international expansion strategy, targeting and expanding within companies with fleets throughout the world.
- SaverOne signed an agreement with Sdot Dan Regional Council to deploy the SaverOne System in its school bus fleet. Sdot Dan joins a group of other regional councils in Israel which aim to protect the transportation of students to local schools including Emek Yizrael, Mevo'ot Hermon and Mate Asher. This represents the growing recognition of leveraging technology for increasing safety of students by preventing driver distraction.
- SaverOne signed a sales and marketing agreement with Florida-based TOJ Jax targeting major US trucking fleets marking the third distribution agreement signed in North America including other agreements signed recently in Canada with MRF Geosystems, and Motor Supply in 2024 covering 10 southern US states. This represents a further key strategic step for SaverOne's US growth plans, providing access to major fleet customers with thousands of vehicles.
- SaverOne was granted two new US patents: these patents out of SaverOne's full IP portfolio of 23 demonstrate SaverOne's technological leadership in mobile device detection and classification within vehicles. The new patents are entitled "System and Method for Classifying a Mode of Operation of a Mobile Communication Device in a Volume Based on Sensor Fusion" and "System and method for managing access to software applications on a mobile communication device via a phone location unit".
- SaverOne signed a preliminary agreement with a leading European-based automotive-technology provider, dedicated to providing sensor solutions. This collaboration represents a new and important strategic step for SaverOne's VRU detection roadmap. The collaboration will integrate SaverOne's Vulnerable Road User (VRU) detection solution with its ADAS sensor fusion platform, introducing a non-line-of-sight VRU detection capability to this ADAS sensor fusion platform.
- SaverOne's first distributor in the United States, Motor Supply, successfully completed its first pilot project with FedEx Trucking Contractor, MDM Trucking Express of Charlotte, North Carolina, and following rigorous testing, Motor Supply is moving forward with the installation of the SaverOne system across MDM's entire fleet of 20 trucks.
- SaverOne signed its first distribution agreement in Canada with Calgary-based MRF Geosystems Corporation. The agreement includes a six-month exclusivity period in the Alberta province, during which MRF is expected to achieve sales of at least 1,000 units.

Revenues increased 57% to NIS 756 thousand (~$224 thousand) in the first half of 2025 compared to NIS 483 thousand (~$143 thousand) for the first half of 2024. This increase was primarily due to the success of the Company's efforts in penetrating global markets.

Operating loss was NIS 16.8 million (~$5.0 million) in the first half of 2025, compared to NIS 15.7 million (~$4.6 million) in the first half of 2024.

About SaverOne's Systems
SaverOne's system is installed in vehicles to solve the problem of driver distraction as a result of drivers using distracting applications on their mobile phones while driving in a way that endangers their safety and the safety of their passengers. This phenomenon is considered one of the leading causes of global road accidents. According to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the annual cost of road accidents just in the United States stands at about $870 billion each year, excluding the costs of serious injury or death, with a quarter of those accidents estimated to be related to the use of the mobile phones while driving. SaverOne's technology specifically recognizes the driver area in the vehicle. It prevents the driver from accessing distracting applications such as messaging while allowing others (navigation as an example) without user intervention or consent, creating a safer driving environment.
SaverOne's primary target markets include commercial and private vehicle fleets interested in reducing potential damages and significant costs, vehicle manufacturers interested in integrating safety solutions into their vehicles, and insurance and leasing companies. SaverOne initially addresses car fleets with a focus on the Israeli, European, and US markets and other markets worldwide. SaverOne believes that an increased focus on monitoring and prevention of cellular distraction systems in vehicles, driven by upcoming expected EU regulation, will likely have a dramatic positive impact on the demand for its systems in the future.
The Company's strategy is to provide its technology to customers in the aftermarket and address OEM vehicle manufacturers to integrate the Company's protection technologies during the vehicle manufacturing process.
