RAMAT
GAN, Israel,
Nov. 30,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Senstar Technologies
(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 nine months ended September 30,
2023. Management will hold an investors' conference call
later today (at 10 a.m. Eastern Time)
to discuss the results.
Business Highlights:
- Continued strong growth in Europe driven by market share expansion in the
region.
- Introduced the Senstar MultiSensor™ intrusion detection system,
a disruptive AI-powered sensor unit.
- Cash balance of $12.6 million and
zero debt as of September 30,
2023.
Mr. Fabien Haubert, Interim Chief
Executive Officer of Senstar Technologies, stated, "Our third
quarter revenue of $9.0 million
underscores our sustained strength in Europe and Latam, both of which have been
areas of investment. This growth was tempered by the absence of
one-off projects in Canada and the
U.S. completed in the third quarter of last year that did not
repeat this year. Additionally, lower APAC revenue reflects the
challenging economic conditions in China and a delayed large project. We are
working to have our gross margin returning to more normalized
levels in the coming quarters. Despite the dip in revenue and gross
margin this quarter, we maintained positive operating income and
EBITDA."
Mr. Haubert continued, "We are proud to introduce our latest
breakthrough, the Senstar MultiSensor™ intrusion detection system,
a disruptive AI-powered sensor unit that seamlessly integrates all
intrusion detection capabilities into a single, powerful device.
The MultiSensor offers unparalleled situational awareness,
effectively eradicating false alarms and, as a versatile
stand-alone solution, expands its potential applications beyond the
conventional Perimeter Intrusion Detection use cases. The true gem
of this innovation lies in its ability to consolidate multiple
functionalities into one intelligent unit, reducing complexity and
improving functionality. We are excited to announce that the
MultiSensor is slated for release in 2024."
Third Quarter 2023 Results Summary
Revenue for the third quarter of 2023 was $9.0 million, a decrease of 7.9% compared with
$9.7 million in the third quarter of
2022. Third quarter gross profit was $5.1
million, or 56.5% of revenue, compared with $6.0 million, or 61.1% of revenue. The decrease
in gross margin was primarily due to the delivery of a lower margin
legacy project in the quarter.
Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2023 were
$4.9 million, essentially flat
compared to $4.8 million in the prior
year's third quarter.
Operating income was $123,000 for
the third quarter of 2023 compared to $1.1
million in the third quarter of 2022.
Financial expense was ($64,000)
for the third quarter of 2023 compared to financial income of
$212,000 in the third quarter of
2022.
Loss from continuing operations was ($122,000) in the third quarter of 2023 compared
to income from continuing operations of $1.2
million in the third quarter of 2022.
Net loss in the third quarter of 2023 was ($122,000) or ($0.01) per share compared to net income of
$1.3 million, or $0.06 per share in the third quarter of last
year. Net income in the 2022 period includes net income from
discontinued operations of $66,000.
EBITDA from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2023
was $322,000 versus $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2022.

deposits of $12.7 million, or
