Management will hold an investors' conference call later today (at 10 a.m. Eastern Time) to discuss the results.

Mr. Dror Sharon, Chief Executive Officer of Senstar Technologies, stated, "As previously stated on our prior earnings call, we closed a large contract in EMEA and delivered year-over-year revenue growth, despite the first quarter being a seasonally weaker quarter for our business. Importantly, we are effectively managing our supply chain and have increased inventory to assure continued customer order fulfillment and to maintain our gross margins.
"Our pipeline is building for 2022 and we see strength in our global oil and gas vertical, as well as critical infrastructure and logistics," continued Mr. Sharon. "Our two largest geographies, EMEA and North America are beginning to rebound as COVID restrictions are lifted and customer activity resumes to pre-pandemic levels. Given our current backlog, the improved business climate and our building pipeline of business, we anticipate delivering another year of revenue growth in 2022. We are anticipating improved gross and EBITDA margins in 2022 for Senstar Technologies."
First Quarter 2022 Results Summary
Revenue for the first quarter of 2022 was $6.8 million, an increase of 3.7% compared with $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2021. First quarter gross profit was $4.5 million, or 65.8% of revenue, compared with $4.1 million, or 62.1% of revenue. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to a shift in the mix of products sold during the quarter.
Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2022 were $5.1 million, an increase of 8.3% compared to the prior year's first quarter operating expenses of $4.7 million. The increase in operating expenses is primarily attributable to the increase in revenues, travel, sales related expenses and marketing activities compared to the 2021 period, when there was a slowdown in similar activities due to the global pandemic.
Operating loss was ($0.7) million for the first quarter of 2022, unchanged compared to ($0.7) million in the first quarter of 2021.
Financial expense was $0.2 million compared to financial income of $20 thousand in the first quarter last year. This expense is mainly a non-cash expense related to the adjustment of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of our operational entities.
Loss from continuing operations was ($1.1) million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to ($0.7) million in the year-ago quarter.
Net loss in the first quarter of 2022 was ($1.1) million or ($0.05) per share versus ($2.0) million, or ($0.09) per share in the first quarter of last year. The net loss in the 2021 period includes a loss from discontinued operations of ($1.2) million.
EBITDA loss from continuing operations for the first quarter was ($0.3) million versus ($0.4) million for the first quarter of 2021.
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of March 31, 2022, were $24.2 million, or $1.04 per share, compared with $26.4 million, or $1.13 per share, at December 31, 2021.
