Foresight Announces First Quarter 2020 Financial Results


Foresight Autonomous Holdings Ltd., an innovator in automotive vision systems (Nasdaq and TASE: FRSX), today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2020. Foresight ended the first quarter of 2020 with $6.8 million in cash and short-term deposits. This amount excludes gross proceeds of an aggregate of $8 million from previously announced offerings that closed on April 30, 2020 and May 21, 2020.

The Company reported GAAP net loss of $4 million for the first quarter 2020, and non-GAAP net loss for the same period of $3.9 million.

"Foresight achieved several important milestones during the first quarter of 2020, beginning with our newly established strategic collaboration with FLIR Systems, Inc. to integrate our QuadSight® vision system with their leading thermal imaging systems," said Haim Siboni, Foresight's CEO. "This collaboration will allow us to market and distribute the QuadSight system to FLIR's extensive global customer base."

"Our unique system, comprised of four thermal and visible-light cameras, showcases the capability of FLIR thermal cameras to greatly improve ADAS and autonomous vehicle safety at various light and weather conditions. We look forward to a productive and mutually beneficial relationship. In addition, during the first quarter we announced another sale to a Japanese vehicle manufacturer. We are encouraged by the endorsement of our technology from global manufacturers in various verticals."

"The COVID-19 pandemic had a minor business impact on the Company's operations during the first quarter of 2020. Foresight and its subsidiaries have adjusted their operations accordingly to the pandemic affects and are maintaining all business activities as usual, with minor changes to business development, marketing, and research and development activities. Additionally, the Company reduced its monthly cash burn spending by more than 20% as of March 2020, in response to the financial implications of the pandemic," concluded Mr. Siboni.

First Quarter 2020 Corporate Highlights:

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 and the comprehensive results that excludes the effect of stock-based compensation expenses, the revaluation of other investments and revaluation of derivative warrant liability. 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 ongoing 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. Reconciliations between GAAP measures and non-GAAP measures are provided later in this press release.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other Federal securities laws. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates" and similar expressions or variations of such words are intended to identify forward-looking statements. For example, Foresight is using forward-looking statements in this press release when it discusses its strategic collaboration with FLIR Systems, Inc., including that the collaboration will allow Foresight to market and distribute the QuadSight system to FLIR's extensive global customer base; Eye-Net's collaboration with Smart City Company NoTraffic Ltd., and that the companies will promote the integration and commercialization of the combined solution with various North American municipalities; and that a successful testing of Rail Vision's Assisted Remote Shunting prototype could result in the signing of a commercial agreement and entail the purchase of approximately 30 shunting yard systems for an additional 2.5 million Euro, and that the European train operator may also choose to exercise its option to purchase an additional 45 shunting yard systems for a total value of 3.5 million Euro. Because such statements deal with future events and are based on Foresight's current expectations, they are subject to various risks and uncertainties and actual results, performance or achievements of Foresight could differ materially from those described in or implied by the statements in this press release. The forward-looking statements contained or implied in this press release are subject to other risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in Foresight's annual report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 31, 2020, and in any subsequent filings with the SEC. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements: Foresight's burn rate, its ability to generate revenue, and its ability to continue as a going concern. Based on the projected cash flows and Foresight's cash balances as of March 31, 2020, Foresight's management is of the opinion that as of March 31, 2020 without further fund raising it will not have enough resources to enable it to continue advancing its activities for a period of at least 12 months. As a result, there is substantial doubt about Foresight's ability to continue as a going concern. Except as otherwise required by law, Foresight undertakes no obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. References and links to websites have been provided as a convenience, and the information contained on such websites is not incorporated by reference into this press release.
