Detailed Financial and Business Review

Quarterly and Annual Performance

Actelis Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASNS) reported a dramatic sequential rebound in Q4 2025 revenues, which climbed to \$1.37 million, more than double the \$0.64 million recorded in Q3. This also represents a 29% year-over-year increase compared to Q4 2024. However, full-year revenues declined to \$3.7 million from \$7.8 million in the prior year, a drop primarily attributed to two large deals in 2024 that did not recur and to a challenging operating environment marked by a prolonged U.S. government shutdown that impacted budgeting and project timelines.

Gross margin for Q4 2025 improved significantly to 35%, up from 28% in Q3, reflecting better revenue conversion from previously developed projects and improved cost discipline.

Operating Expenses and Profitability

Despite cost control efforts, operating expenses for 2025 rose by \$0.3 million compared to the prior year, largely due to foreign exchange rate differences and the absence of a \$0.16 million one-time grant received in 2024. The company expects the benefits of its cost reduction measures to become more visible in 2026.

Operating loss widened sharply to \$7.2 million (from \$3.8 million in 2024) and the net loss ballooned to \$8.3 million (from \$4.4 million in 2024), reflecting lower sales, relatively stable operating expenditure, a \$0.75 million one-time financial commitment fee, and currency headwinds from a strengthening Israeli shekel.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was a loss of \$6.9 million, compared to a \$3.5 million loss in 2024, mainly due to lower revenues and partially offset by cost reductions.

Liquidity & Capital Structure

As of December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents stood at \$4 million. Importantly, the company raised an additional \$7.3 million in gross proceeds in early 2026 via its At-the-Market (ATM) facility. This has strengthened the company’s balance sheet and supports ongoing operational and growth initiatives.

Inventory levels remained flat year-over-year, as the company secured key long-term components while optimizing inventory, which enhances supply chain resilience.

Share Repurchase Program Expansion

In a move that could be price-sensitive for shareholders, the Board of Directors has authorized an expansion of the company’s share repurchase program from \$1 million to \$1.5 million. To date, the company has repurchased \$50,000 worth of shares. The program has no set termination date and share buybacks will be executed at management’s discretion, considering cash on hand, operating cash flow, and market conditions. This action signals management’s confidence in the company’s long-term prospects and could support the share price.

Strategic Business Developments

• Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS): Actelis saw growing demand for its solutions driven by infrastructure modernization, with notable deployments in Orange County (CA), Eugene (OR), the Mid-Atlantic, Caltrans, Cincinnati, and with Japanese authorities. These projects support smart traffic, rail, and connectivity infrastructure upgrades.
• Federal and Defense Market: The company strengthened its federal and defense market presence through new leadership hires and pipeline development, securing deployments for U.S. military base modernization and Federal Aviation Authority initiatives. Expanded federal sales capabilities position Actelis to pursue larger defense and critical infrastructure programs.
• Carrier, Broadband, and MDU Expansion: Multiple deployments were secured with telecom operators, including a Tier-2 UK carrier, a Southern European operator enhancing cybersecurity, and a U.S. carrier transitioning legacy networks. The company’s new MDU product family enabled wins in hotels and sports venues.
• New Offerings: Actelis launched a cyber vulnerability monitoring service to help customers achieve compliance and proactively manage cyber risks, leveraging its AI-based “Cyber Aware Networking” initiative.

Outlook and Positioning

CEO Tuvia Barlev emphasized that, despite challenging industry conditions and prolonged government shutdowns affecting project rollouts, Actelis exited 2025 with clear operational momentum. The company believes it is well-positioned at the intersection of high-growth trends, including AI-driven bandwidth expansion, federally funded modernization, and increasing cybersecurity requirements for critical infrastructure. Management expects cost discipline and strategic investments made in 2025 to yield visible benefits in 2026.

Despite significant share price pressure in recent months, management’s actions—including the share repurchase program, cost discipline, and capital raise—demonstrate confidence in Actelis’ prospects.

What Investors Should Watch

• The Q4 rebound and sequential improvement in gross margin show operational resilience and may signal a turning point pending continued execution.
